or (y) one percent (1%) of the Principal balance of the Loan at the time
of
prepayment, if such prepayment is made on or after the Defeasance Release
Date
and (ii) the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of the monthly interest
which would otherwise be payable on the Principal being prepaid from the
scheduled Payment Date in the calendar month immediately following the date
of prepayment (unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, in
which case from the date of prepayment) to and including the Stated Maturity
Date; over (B) the amount of the monthly interest Lender would earn if the
Principal being prepaid were reinvested for the period from the scheduled
Payment Date in the calendar month immediately following the date of prepayment
(unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, in which case from the
date of
prepayment) to and including the Stated Maturity Date at the Treasury Rate,
such
difference to be discounted to present value at the Treasury
Rate. The calculation of the Yield Maintenance Premium shall be made
by Lender and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding
upon the parties.

GENERAL
LOAN TERMS
Section
2.1 The
Loan
. Lender
is making a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower on the date hereof,
in the original principal amount (the “Principal”) of
$200,000,000.00 which shall mature on the Stated Maturity
Date. Borrower acknowledges receipt of the Loan, the proceeds of
which are being and shall be used to (i) acquire the Property, (ii) fund
certain of the Subaccounts, and (iii) pay transaction costs. Any
excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect
of the Loan may be reborrowed.
Section
2.2 Interest;
Monthly Payments
.
2.2.1 Generally. From
and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue
at the
Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date
hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date
hereof
through and including May 5, 2007. On June 6, 2007 and each Payment
Date thereafter through and including the
-
18
-
Maturity
Date, the interest on the Principal at the Interest Rate shall be payable
in
monthly installments (each such installment, the “Monthly Debt Service
Payment Amount”). The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount
due on any Payment Date shall be applied to the payment of interest accrued
during the preceding Interest Period. All accrued and unpaid interest
shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid
on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated
Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued
on such
repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.
2.2.2 Default
Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate,
and
shall be payable, to the extent permitted by applicable law, within ten (10)
days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.2.3 Taxes. Any
and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income,
and franchise and other similar taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation
of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred
to
in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable
Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any
Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender,
the
following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made
within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred
to a transferee, assignee or purchaser, which, in each case, is organized
under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any
state thereof (a “Foreign Lender”), the transferor shall cause
such Foreign Lender, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer,
to
furnish to the transferor and Borrower either a United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8BEN, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or
United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY, including applicable
attachments (in each case, wherein such Foreign Lender claims entitlement
to
complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all interest
payments hereunder); provided, however, that in the event that the transferor
fails to cause the Foreign Lender to furnish any such Form or such Foreign
Lender is not entitled to a complete exemption from United States withholding
tax, Borrower shall deduct any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by
law
and payments shall be made net of any Applicable Taxes without regard to
the
provisions of clause (i) of the second sentence of this
Section 2.2.3. In each case, if a specified form is no
longer in use, the delivery obligation specified in this Section 2.2.3
shall apply to the applicable successor form. In addition, each
Foreign Lender, if any, shall deliver such forms within a reasonable period
of
time following the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall within a
reasonable period of time notify Borrower at any time it determines that
it is
no longer in a
-
19
-
position
to provide any previously delivered form or certificate to Borrower (or any
other form of certification adopted by a taxing authority for such
purpose).
2.2.4 New
Payment Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not
more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to
a date
later than the sixth (6th)
day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on thirty (30) days’
written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such
change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of
regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments, except
that the first payment of principal (if any) and interest payable on the
New
Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein
provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New
Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date and (ii) shall extend the
Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth
in
the definition of Stated Maturity Date.
Section
2.3 Loan
Repayment
.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower
shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full
on the
Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date
of
repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents. Borrower shall have no right to prepay or defease all or
any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section 2.3.2
below, Section 2.3.3 below, Section 2.3.4 and Section 2.4
below. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be
applied by Lender as follows in the following order of
priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest
Rate; second, to Principal; and third, to and any other
amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If prior to the
Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default,
then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal
and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount
equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, applicable to such Principal
so
accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property
(whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise)
shall,
unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order
and in
such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory
Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in
certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each, a
“Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the
extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 hereof. Each
Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the
settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the
same
manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1 above, and if such
Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date,
then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would
have
accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment
Date. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such
mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary
-
20
-
contained
herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse
order
of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly
installments due under the Note or this Agreement.
2.3.3 Defeasance
(a) Conditions
to Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower
shall have the right on any Payment Date after the Defeasance Release Date
and
prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the entire
amount
of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage and a release
of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s obligations under the other Loan Documents (other
than (i) those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the payment
in
full of the Loan and (ii) the Security Agreement) by providing Lender with
the
Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance Event”), subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(1) Borrower
shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice
specifying a Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the
Defeasance Event is expected to occur.
(2) Borrower
shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of interest due on the Loan to and
including the Defeasance Date and (B) all other sums then due under the Note,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(3) Borrower
shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account
and otherwise comply with the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section 2.3.3;
(4) Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the
Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral;
(5) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard
in
commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications,
assumptions and exceptions opining to the effect that, among other things,
that
(i) Lender has a legal and valid perfected security interest in the
Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) if a
securitization has occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such
securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage
investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code solely
as a result of a Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.3.3 and
(iii) a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower
(if any);
(6) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies a Rating Comfort Letter as
to
the Defeasance Event (if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
from and after the occurrence of a Securitization);
(7) Borrower
shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set
forth in this Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied;
-
21
-
(8) Borrower
shall deliver a certificate of a “big four” or other nationally recognized
public accounting firm reasonably acceptable to Lender certifying that (i)
the
Defeasance Collateral will generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than
the
Scheduled Defeasance Payments, (ii) the revenue from the Defeasance Collateral
will be applied within four (4) months of receipt towards payments of Debt
Service, (iii) the securities that comprise the Defeasance Collateral are
not
subject to prepayment, call or early redemption and (iv) the interest income
to
Borrower (or the Successor Borrower, if applicable) from the Defeasance
Collateral will not in any tax year materially exceed the interest expense
associated with the defeased Loan;
(9) Borrower
shall deliver such other certificates, opinions, documents and instruments
as a
prudent lender may reasonably request; and
(10) Borrower
shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the
Defeasance Event, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and
Rating Agency fees and expenses.
(b) Defeasance
Collateral Account. On or before the date on which Borrower
delivers the Defeasance Collateral, Borrower shall open at any Eligible
Institution the defeasance collateral account (the “Defeasance
Collateral Account”) which shall at all times be an Eligible
Account. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i)
Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and principal paid on
the
Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and principal payments
paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender on each Payment
Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to
Principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the
Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or Principal
shall be retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral
for the Loan. Borrower shall cause the Eligible Institution at which
the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter an agreement with Borrower
and
Lender, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, pursuant to which
such
Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Defeasance
Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. The Borrower or the
Successor Borrower shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account
and
shall report all income accrued on Defeasance Collateral for federal, state
and
local income tax purposes in its income tax return to the extent required
by
law. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses associated with
opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral Account. Neither
Borrower (provided that a Successor Borrower has assumed the Loan) nor Lender
shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance
Collateral Account.
(c) Successor
Borrower. In connection with a Defeasance Event under this
Section 2.3.3, Borrower shall, if required by the Rating Agencies or
if Borrower elects to do so, establish or designate a successor entity (the
“Successor Borrower”) which shall be a Single Purpose
Bankruptcy Remote Entity and which shall be approved by the Rating
Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, be
an Affiliate of Borrower unless the Rating Agencies shall require
otherwise. Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights
and duties under and to the Note, together with the Defeasance Collateral
to
such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the
obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall
be
relieved of its obligations under the Debt and the Loan Documents (other
than
those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the payment
-
22
-
in
full
of the Loan). Borrower shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such
Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the
Note
and the Security Agreement (unless such requirement shall be waived by the
applicable Rating Agencies). Borrower shall pay all costs and
expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorney’s fees and expenses,
incurred in connection therewith.
2.3.4 Optional
Prepayments.
(a) Provided
no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower shall have the right at
any
time prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily prepay the Loan
in
whole or in part provided that such payment is accompanied by the Yield
Maintenance Premium with respect to the Principal amount repaid. Any
such prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Payment Date shall
include interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but
not
including, the next Payment Date.
(b) From
and after the third Payment Date prior to the Stated Maturity Date (the
“Permitted Prepayment Date”), Borrower shall have the right to
prepay the Principal in whole but not in part, provided that Borrower gives
Lender at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof. If
any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay
interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not
including, the next Payment Date. Any such prepayment shall be made
without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.3.5 Prepayments
After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the
Loan
is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person,
such
tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against
prepayment set forth in Section 2.3.1 hereof and Borrower, such purchaser
at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Yield Maintenance Premium, in
addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest
and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Section
2.4 Release
of Property
.
2.4.1 Release
on Defeasance. If Borrower has elected to defease the Note and
the requirements of Section 2.3.3 above and this Section 2.4
have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral pledged
pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral
securing the Note. In connection with the release of the Lien,
Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to
the
Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole
discretion), release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by
Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the
jurisdiction in which the Property is located. In addition, Borrower
shall provide all other documentation as a prudent lender would reasonably
require to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together
with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in
compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release
in
accordance with the terms of this
-
23
-
Agreement. Borrower
shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the
Lien
of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, including Lender’s reasonable
attorneys’ fees.
2.4.2 Release
on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at
the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance
herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower’s designee
(without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against
Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore
released.
Section
2.5 Payments
and Computations
.
2.5.1 Making
of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds
settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or
other
funds immediately available to Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the
date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender
may
designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment
shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments
shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or
counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and
appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection
or
enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest
payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late
Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under
any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due,
Borrower shall pay to Lender (within ten (10) days after the date Lender
makes
written demand therefor) an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%)
of
such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the
“Late Payment Charge”), 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. Such
amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE
3
CASH
MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES
Section
3.1 Cash
Management Arrangements
. Borrower
shall, on or before May 15, 2007, cause all Rents to be transmitted directly
by
non-residential tenants of the Property into an Eligible Account (the
“Clearing Account”) maintained by Borrower at a local bank
selected by Borrower, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution
(the
“Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing
Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all
Rents received by Borrower or Manager from and after the date hereof shall
be
deposited into the Clearing Account within one
-
24
-
(1)
Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account
shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into the Borrower’s
operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is
continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into
an
Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit
Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this
Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender’s
discretion only in Permitted Investments. Lender will also establish
subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts
(and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such
subaccounts are referred to herein as
“Subaccounts”). The Deposit Account and any
Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower
shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for
all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
Section
3.2 Required
Repairs
.
3.2.1 Completion
of Required Repairs
. Borrower
shall perform and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial
work at the Property described on Schedule 1 hereto (the
“Required Repairs”) within six (6) months of the date hereof or
such shorter period of time for such item set forth on Schedule 1
hereto.
3.2.2 Required
Repairs Reserves
. On
the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the aggregate amount
set
forth on Schedule 1 hereto as being required to complete the Required
Repairs and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount
(the “Required Repairs Subaccount”). Provided no
Event of Default shall have occurred and is then continuing, Lender shall

accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer’s Certificate
(A) certifying that the Required Repairs or any portion thereof which are
the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and
workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements,
(B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection
with such Required Repairs or any portion thereof and (C) stating that each
such Person has been or, upon receipt of the requested disbursement, will

with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject
of the
requested disbursement; and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall

requested disbursement have been completed and paid for (or will be paid
for
with such disbursement). Provided no Default or Event of Default

Required
Repairs in accordance with this Section 3.2, Lender shall release
any funds remaining in the Required Repairs Subaccount, if any, to
Borrower
Section
3.3 Taxes
and Insurance
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender (i) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes that
Lender
estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order
to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty
(30) days prior to their Delinquency Date, and (ii) (1) for so long as
the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement remains in
full
force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment for the
next
occurring payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement and/or (2) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered
by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date,
one-twelfth (1/12th) of
the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal
of
the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order
to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums
at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts
in
(i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Impound
Funds”). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a
Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance
Subaccount”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Impound Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be
made by
Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof
and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable
Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In
making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds, Lender
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. If the amount of the Tax and
Insurance Impound Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Impound
Funds. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person
shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at
any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds is not
or
will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (i) and (ii) above,
Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its
monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient
to
make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of
the
Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All
earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds shall become
part of
the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds and shall be disbursed in accordance
with
this Section 3.3. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrower
shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued
by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so
elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax
searches throughout the Term.
Section
3.4 Capital
Expense Reserves
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date an amount initially equal to $9,430
(one-twelfth (1/12th) of
the product obtained by multiplying $0.20 by the aggregate number of rentable
square feet of space in the Property). Lender will transfer such amount into
a
Subaccount (the
-
26
-
“Capital
Reserve Subaccount”). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’
prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the
monthly payment
required under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable
discretion (based upon its then current underwriting
standards). Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, Lender
shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower,
within
fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor
(but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000
provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense;
(ii) with respect to disbursements in excess of $100,000, Lender shall have
(if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense)
performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and
(iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s
Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse
Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that
all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested
disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid
in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay
the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) lien waivers
or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (C) at Lender’s option, a
title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all
Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender and
(D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the
Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to be funded by the requested
disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such
disbursement to Borrower. Any such disbursement of more than $100,000
to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s
option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee on such
Approved Capital Expenses.
Section
3.5 Rollover
Reserve
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender $4,070,000 on the date hereof (the “Initial Rollover
Deposit”), and Lender shall transfer such funds into a Subaccount (the
“Rollover Reserve Subaccount”). Additionally, on each Payment
Date commencing on June 6, 2009, Borrower shall pay to Lender (for deposit
into
the Rollover Reserve Subaccount) $47,148 (one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product obtained
by
multiplying $1.00 by the aggregate number of rentable square feet of space
in
the Property). Borrower shall also pay to Lender (for deposit into
the Rollover Reserve Subaccount) all Lease Termination Payments received
by
Borrower with respect to Material Leases; provided, however, once
Borrower has provided to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender
that
the space under the Lease that was the subject of such Lease Termination
Payment
has been re-tenanted and all Approved Leasing Expenses in connection with
such
space have been paid, Lender shall (provided no Event of Default is then
continuing) disburse to Borrower any remaining portion of the subject Lease
Termination Payment. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve
Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower
to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month),
in
increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an
Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) with respect to disbursements in excess of
$100,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted
at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated with such
an Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is
accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such
funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse
-
27
-
Borrower
for) an Approved Leasing Expense, and a description thereof, (2) that all
outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested
disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid
in
full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used only
to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved Leasing
Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the
amount, necessity and purpose therefor. Any such disbursement of more
than $100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may,
at
Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee of
such Approved Leasing Expenses.
Section
3.6 Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount
. Borrower
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any
Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the
“Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount”) in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7 hereof. All amounts in the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7 hereof.
Section
3.7 Security
Deposits
. Borrower
shall keep all security deposits actually paid to Borrower under Leases at
a
separately designated account under Borrower’s control at the Clearing Bank (and
in the case of a letter of credit received after the date hereof, assigned
with
full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security
deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower (such account,
the “Security Deposit Account”). After the
occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Borrower shall, upon
Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to
Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon)
under
Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit
Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases. Security
deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender
upon
notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably
request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant
pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the
rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit
or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit
under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained
in full force and effect in the full amount required by the applicable Lease
unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if
permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee
thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).
Section
3.8 Cash
Collateral/DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit
Collateral
.
3.8.1 Cash
Collateral Subaccount
. If
a Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately
succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the
continuance of such Cash
-
28
-
Management
Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be
transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral
Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt. Any funds in
the Cash Collateral Account and not previously disbursed or applied shall
be
disbursed to Borrower upon the termination of such Cash Management
Period. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any
time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its sole and absolute
discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount
to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its
sole
and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together
which the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable
thereto). Additionally, Lender shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at any time subsequent to the second Calculation Date following
the
commencement of a DSCR Cash Management Period (whether or not an Event of
Default is then continuing), in its sole and absolute discretion to apply
all
sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount towards a prepayment
of
the Loan (together with any Yield Maintenance Premium applicable
thereto).
3.8.2 DSCR
Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral
.
(a) All
DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral received by Lender from
Borrower in accordance with the definition of “Cash Management Period” shall be
held as collateral and additional security for the payment of the
Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on all or any
portion of the DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral and to apply
such amount drawn to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority
as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be
subject to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if applicable. Borrower
shall not be entitled to draw upon any such DSCR Cash Management Letter of
Credit Collateral. However, if, as of any Calculation Date, the
aggregate outstanding face amount of the DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit
Collateral received by Lender from Borrower in accordance with the definition
of
“Cash Management Period” is in an amount which is at least $350,000.00 greater
than the amount necessary to (i) prevent the triggering of a DSCR Cash
Management Period or (ii) end any then-continuing DSCR Cash Management Period,
then, provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, Borrower may,
at its
option, reduce (or replace) the DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral
with DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral which, when utilized
in
the calculation of the Debt Service component of the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio, is in an amount equal to a portion of the then-outstanding Principal
such
that the Minimum DSCR Threshold would be maintained on the Loan after reduction
of Principal in an amount equal to the aggregate outstanding face amount
of the
reduced (or replaced) DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit
Collateral.
(b) In
addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon DSCR Cash Management
Letter of Credit Collateral pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section
3.8.2(a) above, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any
Letter of Credit constituting DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit
Collateral: (i) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit,
if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the applicable
Letter
of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided
at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter
of
Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) with respect to
-
29
-
any
Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received
a
notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at
least
thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled
to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least twenty
(20)
days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled
to
expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter
of
Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit
is
permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute
Letter of Credit is provided) or (iv) if Lender has received notice that
the
bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and
Borrower shall not have replaced such Letter of Credit with a Letter of Credit
issued by an Approved Bank within twenty (20) days after notice
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
above, Lender is not obligated to draw any DSCR Cash Management Letter of
Credit
Collateral upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv)
above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to
the
insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn
the
applicable Letter of Credit.

3.9 Intentionally
Omitted
.
Section
3.10 Grant
of Security Interest; Application of Funds
. As
security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other
terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges
and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all
Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Clearing Account, the Deposit
Account and all Subaccounts, all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies
held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, and all Subaccounts created
pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management
Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing
security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender,
all
Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or
(ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account until such Rents are
released to Borrower from the Clearing Account pursuant to this Agreement
and
the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall not, without obtaining
the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any
security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach
thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements,
except
those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect
thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the
parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may
apply
any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as
Lender
shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver
and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien
of
the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan
Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds
and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Provided no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of Borrower,
Lender shall deposit the amounts held in the Cash Management Accounts in
Permitted Investments selected by Borrower. All investment earnings
which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account shall accrue for
the
benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to
and
disbursed in the same
-
30
-
manner
and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest
accrued. Lender shall not be responsible for any losses resulting
from the investment of the Funds or for obtaining any specific level or
percentage of earnings on such investment. Upon repayment in full of
the Debt or defeasance of the Loan, all remaining funds in the Cash Management
Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.
Section
3.11 Property
Cash Flow Allocation
.
(a) During
any Cash Management Period, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account
during
the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment
Date
as follows in the following order of
priority: (i) First, to make payments into the Tax and
Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3 hereof;
(ii) Second, intentionally omitted; (iii) Third, to pay
the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance
with
the Cash Management Agreement; (iv) Fourth, to Lender to pay the
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if
applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than
those
described under other clauses of this Section 3.11(a), then due to Lender
under the Loan Documents); (v) Fifth, to make payments into the
Capital Reserve Subaccount if, and as, required under Section 3.4
hereof; (vi) Sixth, to make payments into the Rollover Reserve
Subaccount if, and as, required under Section 3.5 hereof;
(vii) Seventh, to Borrower the monthly amount set forth in the
Approved Budget for the following month as being necessary for payment of
Approved Operating Expenses at the Property for such month, plus the amount
for
Budget Variances (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement);
(viii) Eighth, after the consummation of a Securitization, to pay
the pro rata portion of the expenses described in Section 9.1.4 hereof;
and (ix) Lastly, to make payments in an amount equal to all
remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral
Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof.
(b) The
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i)
through (ix) of Section 3.11(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided,
however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account
for such
payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the
appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11, after the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may
apply
all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment
in
such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect. .
Section
3.12 Debt
Service Reserve
. On
the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount of $4,500,000
for
the purpose of creating a reserve for potential shortfalls in the amount
of
Rents being available to meet Borrower’s obligation to pay the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amounts due hereunder. Lender shall cause such amount
to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Debt Service Reserve
Subaccount”). To the extent there are insufficient Rents to
pay the Monthly Debt Service
-
31
-
Payment
Amount pursuant to Section 3.11 hereof on such Payment Date, provided no
Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall disburse to itself funds held
in
the Debt Service Reserve Subaccount to pay such Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount (or the applicable portion thereof), and such disbursement shall be
credited towards Borrower’s obligation to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount (or any portion thereof) due on such Payment Date pursuant to Section
2.2.1 hereof. Any funds remaining on deposit in the Debt Service
Reserve Account not previously disbursed or applied shall be released to
Borrower upon the date on which Lender has determined that the Property has
achieved a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.10:1 for two (2)
consecutive Calculation Dates. In calculating the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio solely for purposes of determining whether or not funds may
be
released from the Debt Service Reserve Subaccount as contemplated by the
preceding sentence, the Net Operating Income component of such calculation
shall
be computed without taking into account the rent payable under any Leases
which
have an expiration date of December 31, 2009 or earlier, unless the space
covered under any such Lease has been re-tenanted (for a term that has commenced
on or before January 1, 2010 and extends to at least January 1,
2010) pursuant to a fully executed and binding Lease that has been
entered into in accordance with the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE
4
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
Borrower
represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the
extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 hereto with reference to a
specific Section of this Article 4:
Section
4.1 Organization;
Special Purpose
. Borrower
has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under
the
laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and
all
rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise,
necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it
is now
engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in
connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower is
a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
Section
4.2 Authorization;
Valid Execution and Delivery; Enforceability
. Borrower
has taken all necessary actions for the authorization of the borrowing on
account of the Loan and for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, that those members of Borrower whose approval
is
required by the terms of Borrower’s organizational documents have duly approved
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized
execution and delivery thereof by the respective signatories. To the
best of Borrower’s knowledge, no other consent by any local, state or federal
agency is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents. All of the Loan Documents requiring execution by Borrower
have been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower. All of the
Loan
Documents constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower and
are
fully enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their terms by Lender
and
its successors, transferees and assigns, subject only to bankruptcy laws,
and
-
32
-
general
principles of equity, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium,
receivership or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of
creditors. All consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings
with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower have
been
obtained or made.
Section
4.3 No
Conflict/Violation of Law
. The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower will
not
cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the organizational
documents of Borrower, Guarantor or any general partner or managing member
of
Borrower or Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the
obligations imposed on Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower
to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under
the
provisions of any agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party
or
by which Borrower is bound.
Section
4.4 No
Litigation
. Except
as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 2 hereto, to the best of Borrower’s
knowledge there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations
or
governmental investigations against the Property, an adverse outcome of which
would materially affect Borrower’s performance under the Note, this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.
Section
4.5 No
Defenses
. The
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the
operation of any of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or
any
of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
this Agreement or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the
defense
of usury.
Section
4.6 Title
. Borrower
has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property constituting real
property (other than the beneficial interests), and good title to the Equipment,
subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted
Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted
by
the Loan Documents. The possession of the Property has been peaceful
and undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned to
the
best of Borrower’s knowledge. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and
will not materially and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay
in full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or
(2) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, the
operation of the Property as currently being operated or the value of the
Property. Upon the execution by Borrower and the recording of the
Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements or amendments
thereto, the Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid
security interest in the Equipment subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances
other than the Permitted Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances
otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.

Section
4.7 No
Insolvency or Judgment; No Bankruptcy Filing
. Neither
Borrower, nor any general partner or member of Borrower, nor Guarantor of
the
Loan is currently (a) the subject of or a party to any completed or pending
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject of
any
judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in which
the Property is located or in any other court located in the United
States. The Loan will not render Borrower nor any general partner or
member of Borrower Insolvent. As used herein, the term
“Insolvent” means that the sum total of all of an entity’s
liabilities (whether secured or unsecured, contingent or fixed, or liquidated
or
unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such entity’s non-exempt assets,
i.e., all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy claims
of
creditors. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a
petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or
the
liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy
Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating
the filing of any such petition against it. In addition, except as
described on Schedule 2 attached hereto, neither Borrower nor any
principal nor Affiliate of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of
a
Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.
Section
4.8 Misstatements
of Fact
. No
statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement
of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact known to Borrower or its
Affiliates necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has
not been disclosed which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower
can reasonably foresee, might materially adversely affect the business,
operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
Section
4.9 Tax
Filings
. To
the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions
for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed
and,
except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing, has paid or made adequate
provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges
and
assessments payable by Borrower pursuant to such returns or any notice of
assessment received by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax
returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the
periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required
by the
Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon
audit. Borrower does not have any knowledge of any basis for
additional assessment with respect to such taxes other than a possible
reassessment of the Property for real estate tax purposes resulting from
transactions occurring in connection with the acquisition of the Property
on or
prior to the date hereof.
Section
4.10 ERISA

imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination
of
any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is
located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
as
an area having special flood hazards. The Property has not been
damaged by fire, water, wind or other cause of loss which has not been fully

Section
4.16 Leases
. To
Borrower’s best knowledge the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3
together with the schedules and the exhibits attached to such rent roll
(collectively, the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct
and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described
in
the Rent Roll and those additional Leases (if any) on Schedule 2 attached
hereto and any existing subleases thereunder. To Borrower’s best
knowledge no Person has any possessory interest in the Property or right
to
occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions
-
36
-
of
the
Leases (and any existing subleases thereunder). As of the date hereof
(i) Borrower is the owner and holder of the landlord’s interest under each
Lease; (ii) there are no prior assignments of the landlord’s interest by
Borrower (and to Borrower’s knowledge any prior landlord) in any Lease or any
portion of Rents which are presently outstanding and have priority over the
Assignment of Leases and Rents; (iii) true and correct copies of the Leases
have been delivered by Borrower to Lender or made available to Lender and,
to
Borrower’s knowledge, the Leases have not been further modified or amended,

(v) to Borrower’s best knowledge, except as disclosed on the Rent Roll or
in any tenant estoppels delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan
(collectively, the “Tenant Estoppels”), neither Borrower nor,
to Borrower’s knowledge, any tenant under any Lease is in default under any of
the material terms, covenants or provisions of the Lease, and, except as
disclosed to Lender in writing or in any Tenant Estoppels, Borrower knows
of no
event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both,
would
constitute an event of default under any Lease; (vi) to Borrower’s best
knowledge, except as expressly set forth in the Leases, the Tenant Estoppels
or
on the Rent Roll, there are no offsets or defenses to the payment of any
portion
of the Rents; and (vii) to Borrower’s best knowledge, except as disclosed
on the Rent Roll or in any Tenant Estoppel, all Rents due and payable under
each
Lease have been paid in full and, except for estimated payments of operating
expenses and taxes made by tenants in accordance with their Leases, no Rents
have been paid more than one (1) month in advance of the due dates
thereof. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the term “Lease”
shall exclude subleases.
Section
4.17 Fraudulent
Transfer
. Borrower
(1) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual
intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (2) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan
Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceed and will,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed
Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair market
value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities,
including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as
such
debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents 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 debts and liabilities (including, without
limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability
to
pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts
to be
payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
Section
4.18 Ownership
of Borrower
. As
of the date hereof, the sole member of Borrower is the
Accommodator. After giving effect to the 1031 Exchange Transfer, the
sole member of Borrower will be Xxxxxxx Properties Holdings IV, LLC, whose
sole
member is Xxxxxxx Properties Holdings III, LLC, whose sole member is the
OP,
whose sole general partner is the REIT. The membership interests in
Borrower are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights
to
purchase, other
-
37
-
than
the
1031 Exchange Transfer. Borrower does not have any obligation to any
Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it, except
for
the 1031 Exchange Transfer. The organizational chart attached hereto
as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who
have a direct ownership interest in Borrower and the OP (both prior to and
subsequent to the 1031 Exchange Transaction).
Section
4.19 No
Purchase Options
. To
Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant, person, party, firm, corporation or other
entity has an option to purchase the Property, any portion thereof or any
interest therein other than options, rights of first refusal and similar
rights
to lease space in the Improvements granted to a tenant pursuant to its
respective Lease or in another writing otherwise delivered to Lender and
other
than rights of first refusal contained in operating agreements of members
of
Borrower in favor of members of the members of Borrower in the event of a

(collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (b) the Property is
not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative

to the contrary in this Section 4.21, Borrower and tenants may use and
store ordinary amounts of Hazardous Substances at the Property in compliance
with all applicable Environmental Laws if such use and storage is in connection
with business supplies used by Borrower, a tenant in accordance with the
terms
of its Lease or in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance
of the
Property.

request for consent under this Section 5.4.2 within ten (10) Business
Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed granted, provided that
such request shall have been accompanied by all information reasonably requested
by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate such request and
shall
have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if Lender fails to
respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender’s consent shall be
deemed to have been granted. If Lender refuses to grant such consent,
Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such refusal. Any
approval by Lender of the plans, specifications or working drawings for
alterations of the Property shall not create responsibility or liability
on
behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or their compliance
with applicable laws. Lender may condition any such approval upon
receipt of a certificate of compliance with applicable laws from an independent
architect, engineer, or other Person reasonably acceptable to
Lender. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to
alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or
reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or paid from accounts established
hereunder or Excluded Costs) shall at any time exceed the Threshold Amount,
Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of
such
amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Documents any of the following: (1) cash, (2) U.S. Treasury
securities, (3) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and
with respect to which the applicable Rating Agencies have delivered a Rating
Comfort Letter (if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
from
and after the occurrence of a Securitization), or (4) a Letter of
Credit. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of
the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements
(other
than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or
from
accounts established hereunder or Excluded Costs) over the Threshold
Amount. Upon completion of the alterations to the satisfaction of
Lender in its reasonable discretion Lender shall promptly return to Borrower
such additional security.

Section
5.8 Environmental
Matters
.
5.8.1 Environmental
Covenants. So long as Borrower owns or is in possession of the
Property, Borrower (i) shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free
from Hazardous Substances except those in compliance with all Environmental
Laws
or any permits issued with respect thereto, (ii) shall promptly notify
Lender if Borrower shall become aware of any release of Hazardous Substances
on
the Property and/or if Borrower shall become aware that the Property is in
violation of any Environmental Laws and/or if Borrower shall become aware
of any
condition on the Property which shall pose a threat to the health, safety
or
welfare of humans, and (iii) shall remove or remediate such Hazardous
Substances and/or cure such violations and/or remove or remediate such threats,
as applicable, as required by law (or as shall be reasonably required by
Lender
in the case of removal or remediation which is not required by law, but in
response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental
engineer or other qualified consultant engaged by Lender (“Lender’s
Consultant”) provided that such removal, remediation or cure is
reasonably necessary to eliminate imminent danger to the health, safety or
welfare of humans and would customarily be performed by prudent owners of
properties similar to the Property in similar circumstances), promptly after
Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrower’s sole expense, without prejudice to
any rights Borrower may have against any responsible
parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
5.8.1, Borrower, Manager and/or tenants on the Property may use and store
ordinary amounts of Hazardous Substances at the Property if such use or storage
is in connection with business supplies used by Borrower, a tenant in accordance
with the terms of its Lease or by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement
or is in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the Property
so long as such use and storage (A) does not violate any applicable
Environmental Laws and (B) is not the subject of any specific
recommendations in the Environmental Reports that would prohibit such use
or
storage. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such
expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or
cure. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this
Section 5.8.1 shall survive any termination, satisfaction, or assignment
of the Mortgage and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Property
by
foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; provided that such
obligations
-
46
-
and
liabilities of Borrower shall not survive after the date Lender or its
Affiliates take title to the Property pursuant to foreclosure or a conveyance
in
lieu of foreclosure.
5.8.2 Asbestos. Borrower
represents and warrants that, to Borrower’s knowledge, no asbestos or any
substance or material containing asbestos (collectively,
“Asbestos”) is located on the Property except as may have been
disclosed in the Environmental Reports delivered to Lender in connection
with
the Loan. Borrower shall not install in the Property, nor permit to
be installed in the Property, Asbestos and shall remove any Asbestos to the
extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, at Borrower’s sole
expense. Borrower shall in all instances comply with, and ensure
compliance by all occupants of the Property with, all applicable federal,
state
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations with respect to Asbestos
and
shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. In the event that Borrower
receives any notice or advice from any governmental agency or any source
whatsoever with respect to Asbestos on, affecting or installed on the Property,
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender.
5.8.3 Environmental
Monitoring. Except to the extent already disclosed in the
Environmental Reports, Borrower shall give prompt written notices to Lender
of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any party with respect to
the presence of any Hazardous Substance or Asbestos on, under, from or about
the
Property, (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party against
Borrower or the Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any
Hazardous Substance or Asbestos, and (c) Borrower’s discovery of any
occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity
of the
Property that could reasonably be expected to cause the Property to be subject
to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental
Law. Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at the
Property, Borrower shall (a) undertake an investigation to identify the
source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate
remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold, (b) perform
or
cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of
any
Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect
any
portions of the Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any
necessary moisture control systems at the Property), and (c) provide evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing. Borrower shall
permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any
legal
proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection
with
any actual or alleged violation of Environmental Law or the presence of
Hazardous Substance at the Property, and Borrower shall pay all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
therewith. Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time
while the Loan is outstanding but not more frequently than once per calendar
year, unless Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment)
that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection
or audit of the Property, Borrower shall provide at Borrower’s sole expense,
(i) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed
hydrogeologist or licensed environmental engineer approved by Lender indicating
the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property,
and
(ii) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a duly qualified
engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender, indicating the presence
or
absence of Asbestos on the Property; provided, however, any such
inspection or audit requested by Lender, during the Term, in excess of one
(1) inspection during each three (3) year period commencing upon the date
hereof, shall be performed at Lender’s expense unless an Event of Default exists
or Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good
-
47
-
faith
judgment) that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental
inspection or audit. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or
audit within sixty (60) days after such request Lender may order same, and
Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the
Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable
prior notice to Borrower and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere
with tenants or occupants thereof. The cost of such inspection or
audit obtained by Lender upon Borrower’s failure to do so shall bear interest
from the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default
Rate
and shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after
the date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be
added
to the Debt. In the event that any environmental site assessment
report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that
an
operations and maintenance plan be implemented for Asbestos or any Hazardous
Substance, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be
prepared and implemented at Borrower’s expense upon request of Lender, and with
respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall take all action necessary to clean
and
disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about
the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems
at
the Property. In the event that any investigation, site monitoring,
containment cleanup, removal, restoration, or other work of any kind is
reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law (the
“Remedial Work”), Borrower shall promptly commence and
thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work, provided
that in any event Borrower shall complete such Remedial Work within the time
required by applicable Environmental Law, and provided, further, that Borrower’s
obligation to perform Remedial Work shall be without prejudice to any rights
Borrower may have against responsible parties. All Remedial Work
shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, and under
the
supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs
and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower including, without
limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in
connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Nothing
herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other
party
that may be liable for such Remedial Work. In the event Borrower
shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently
prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be
required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall bear interest
from
the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate
and
shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after
the
date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added
to
the Debt.

nondisturbance and attornment agreement executed by such tenant and
Lender. None of the Leases shall contain any option to purchase, any
right of first refusal to purchase or any right by a tenant to terminate
the
lease term (except for termination rights (i) set forth in the Existing
Leases or (ii) arising from a taking or the destruction of all or
substantially all of the Property or all or substantially all of a tenant’s
demised premises). Leases executed after the date hereof shall not

one (1) month in advance (other than estimated payments of taxes and

than in connection with a Transfer and Assumption. If Lender fails to
respond to a request for consent under this Section 5.10.2 within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed granted,
provided that such request shall have been accompanied by all information
requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate such request
and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if Lender
fails
to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender’s consent shall
be deemed to have been granted. In the event that Lender refuses to
grant any such consent, Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such
refusal. In addition, Borrower shall not (A) lease all or any
part of the Property, (B) cancel, terminate (other than as a result of a
tenant default thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify the terms of any
Lease
in any material respect, or accept a surrender thereof, (C) consent to any
assignment of or subletting under any Lease not in accordance with its terms
or
(D) cancel, terminate, abridge or otherwise modify in any material respect

Leases. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 5.10.2 above, provided that no Event of Default is
continuing, renewals, amendments and modifications of existing Leases and
proposed leases, shall not be subject to the prior approval of Lender provided

effective rental rates comparable to existing local market rates, (b) shall
have
a term of not less than three (3) years or greater than ten (10) years,
(c) shall provide for automatic self-operative subordination to the
Mortgage and, at Lender’s option, (x) attornment to Lender and (y) the
unilateral right by Lender, at the option of Lender, to subordinate the Lien
of
the Mortgage to the Lease, and (d) shall not contain any option to
purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate
(except
in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the
Property), any requirement for a non-disturbance or recognition agreement,
or
any other provision which might adversely affect the rights of Lender under
the
Loan Documents in any material respect. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding
sentence together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the
conditions of the preceding sentence within ten (10) days after the execution
of
the Lease. With respect to any Lease or proposed renewal, extension
or modification of an existing Lease that requires Lender’s consent under this
Section 5.10.3, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if
Borrower provides Lender with a written request for approval (which written
request shall specifically refer to this Section 5.10.3 and shall
explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove within ten
(10)
Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender fails to reject
the
request in writing delivered to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt by Lender of the request, the proposed Lease or proposed renewal,
extension or modification of an existing Lease shall be deemed approved by
Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such proposed Lease
or
proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease.
5.10.4 Additional
Covenants with Respect to Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe

done
anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt;
(ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which
Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all the
material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the
part
of the lessee, grantee or licensee, as applicable, thereunder to be observed
or
performed, short of termination thereof (unless by reason of default
thereunder); (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents (other than estimated
payments of taxes and reimbursable expenses paid by tenants pursuant to their

assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents except in
connection with a Transfer and Assumption; (vi) shall, upon request of
Lender, request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver

shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than two
(2)
times in any calendar year; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the
request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments
in
connection with the Property as Lender shall from time to time reasonably
require.
5.10.5 Security
Deposits. All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash
or any other form, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial
or
savings bank or banks and shall be held in compliance with applicable Legal
Requirements, as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any bond
or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to
-
50
-
hold
in
lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable legal requirements shall
be
maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless
replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall (if issued after
the
date hereof) be fully assignable to Lender and shall, in all respects, comply
with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory
to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the
foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by any
applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits
(and
any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion
of
the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the
Leases.

Borrower’s obligations thereunder and enforce performance in all material
respects of all obligations of the Manager thereunder, and except as otherwise
permitted by the Loan Documents, not permit the termination or amendment
of the
Management Agreement unless the prior written consent of Lender is first
obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Borrower shall cause the Manager to enter into an assignment
and subordination of the management agreement in form satisfactory to Lender
(the “Subordination of Management Agreement”). The
Subordination of Management Agreement shall assign and subordinate the Manager’s
interests in the Property and all fees and other rights of the Manager pursuant
to the Management Agreement to the rights of Lender. Upon an Event of
Default, Borrower shall, at Lender’s request made at any time while such Event
of Default continues, terminate, or cause the termination of, the Management
Agreement. After the date hereof, Borrower shall not enter into any
agreement relating to the management of the Property with any party without
the
express written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld to the extent that such manager is an affiliate of Borrower);
provided, however, with respect to a new manager of the Property
(but not a leasing agent or subcontractor appointed in accordance with the
Management Agreement) such consent may also be conditioned upon Borrower
delivering (i) a Rating Comfort Letter (if required pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement from and after the occurrence of a Securitization)
with
respect to such new manager and management agreement (other than a Qualified
Manager that is Controlled (in the sense of clause (ii) of the defined term
“Control”) by the REIT), and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Lender (which
shall include, at the request of Lender, a legal non-
-
51
-
consolidation
opinion acceptable to Lender) that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy
remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as the case
may
be, after the engagement of the new manager are in accordance with the
requirements of the Rating Agencies. If at any time Lender consents
to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and Borrower shall,
as a
condition of Lender’s consent, execute an assignment and subordination of such
management agreement in the form then used by Lender.
5.12.2 Termination
of Manager. Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate
the Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Term (a) the
Manager shall become Insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, (b) there exists an Event of Default for which Lender has not
accepted a cure thereof, (c) the Maturity Date has occurred and the Loan
has not been repaid or (d) the Manager’s gross negligence, malfeasance or
willful misconduct or the occurrence of a default by Manager under the
Management Agreement and its continuance beyond any applicable notice or
cure
period. At such time as the Manager is removed pursuant to and in
accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, a replacement
manager and management agreement acceptable to Lender and the applicable
Rating
Agencies in their sole discretion shall assume management of the Property
and
shall receive a property management fee not to exceed the then current market
rates.

other than the continuance of its present business or otherwise cease to

that
Lender will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means
of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the
Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in
maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower
default in the repayment of the Debt, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale
of
the Property.

conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, lease,

any member) of such Restricted Party or the Sale or Pledge of the membership
interest of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) of such

5.26.4 No
Impairment Required. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate
any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder
in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon any Transfer
in
violation of this Section 5.26 without Lender’s consent. This
provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or
not,
or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous
Transfer. Lender’s consent to one Transfer shall not be deemed to be
a waiver of Lender’s right to require such consent to any future
Transfer. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section
5.26 shall be null and void and of no force and effect. Borrower agree to
bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements,
title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by
Lender
in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such Transfer,

in Borrower), owning in the aggregate (directly, indirectly or beneficially)
more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in Borrower (or any entity

REIT,
the OP or Borrower of their direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower
or
any entity holding any direct or indirect interests in Borrower to any
institutional lender (including investors in syndicated loan facilities
-
60
-
or
the
agent for such investors) providing a corporate line of credit or other
financing to the REIT, the OP or any entity holding any direct or indirect
interests in the REIT or the OP or Borrower, provided that the value of the
Property which is indirectly pledged as collateral under such corporate line

of
the total value of all assets directly or indirectly securing such line of
credit or other financing, and provided that the following conditions are
met:
(i) no
Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the passage
of time
would constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured
or
unwaived; and
(ii) Lender

incurred by Lender in connection with such pledges (including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of the Rating

Lender
shall respond to any requests made by Borrower pursuant to this Section
5.26.5 in a prompt manner. In the event that Lender claims that
Borrower has not satisfied any of the requirements of this Section
5.26.5, Lender shall specify in writing the reason why any conditions are
deemed not satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Transfers by the
Accommodator or with respect to direct or indirect interests in the Accommodator
are permitted only under clause (b) above and Section 10.25
hereof.
Any
provisions of this Section 5.26.5 which require more conditions to be
satisfied in connection with any particular Permitted Transfer than other
provisions under this Section 5.26.5 (relating to other Permitted
Transfers) which require fewer conditions to be satisfied shall not be deemed
to
be a limitation or modification on the Transfer rights provided hereunder
containing such fewer conditions.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any of the
Transfers or rights contained in this Section 5.26.5, Lender agrees that,
from and after the consummation of the 1031 Exchange Transfer, provided no
Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Transfer of an interest in Borrower
shall not require the consent of Lender and no transfer fee shall be payable
in
connection therewith, provided that (i) such Transfer is of an interest in
the
OP or any direct or indirect owner of the OP that occurs by gift, devise
or
bequest or by operation of law upon the death or incapacity of a natural
person
that was the holder of such interest to a member of the immediate family
of such
interest holder or a trust established for the benefit of such immediate
family
member, provided that (A) no such Transfer shall result in a change of the
day
to day operations of the Property, (B) Borrower shall give Lender notice
of such
Transfer together with copies of all instruments effecting such Transfer
not
more than ten (10) days after the date of such Transfer, (C) such Transfer
shall
not cause a default by Borrower of the single purpose bankruptcy remote
provisions set forth in Section 5.13 hereof, (D) if any such Transfer
would result in a change of Control of Borrower or the OP, at Borrower’s sole
cost and expense, shall, within thirty (30) days after any such Transfer,
(a)
deliver (or cause to be delivered) a substantive non-consolidation opinion
to
Lender and the Rating Agencies with respect to Borrower and the OP and such
transferee in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies,
and (b) reimburse Lender for all reasonable expenses incurred by
-
61
-
Lender
in
connection with such Transfer, (E) if any such Transfer would result in a
change
of Control of Borrower or the OP and occurs prior to the occurrence of a
Securitization, such Transfer is approved by Lender in writing within thirty
(30) days after any such Transfer, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, (F) if any such Transfer would result in a change of Control of
Borrower or the OP and occurs after the occurrence of a Securitization,
Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall, within thirty (30) days
after any such Transfer, (a) deliver (or cause to be delivered) a Rating
Comfort
Letter to Lender (if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
from
and after the occurrence of a Securitization), and (b) obtain the prior written
consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or
(ii)
such Transfer is of a direct or indirect interest in the OP related to or
in
connection with the estate and/or gift planning of such transferor to (A)
the
immediate family members of such transferor or one or more Key Principals,
including without limitation, the spouse, children or grandchildren of such
transferor (B) a trust established for the benefit of the transferor, a Key
Principal and/or any of the parties described in the preceding clause (A)
provided that (a) after giving effect to such Transfer, one or more Key
Principals and/or family trusts or other entities Controlled by one or more
Key
Principals shall continue to Control (in the sense of clause (ii) of the
defined
term “Control”) Borrower, (b) Borrower shall give Lender notice of such
Transfer together with copies of all instruments effecting such Transfer
not
more than ten (10) days after the date of such Transfer and (c) such
Transfer shall not cause a default by Borrower of the single purpose bankruptcy
remote provisions set forth in Section 5.13 hereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the foregoing Transfers shall be deemed a “Permitted
Transfer” hereunder if, as a result of any of the foregoing Transfers, the
Guarantor does not own any direct or indirect interests in Borrower, unless,
upon Lender’s request, one or more creditworthy Persons or entities reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, that then Controls Borrower or owns a material direct
or
indirect interest in Borrower, shall execute and deliver a guaranty of recourse
obligations and, if the Partial Payment Guaranty is then in effect, a partial
payment guaranty on the same terms as then in effect (in the same forms as
the
guaranty of recourse obligations and the partial payment guaranty delivered
to
Lender by Guarantor on the date hereof, or in such other forms as may be
acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and otherwise
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, pursuant to which the replacement
guarantor(s) agrees to be liable under such guaranty of recourse obligations
and, if required hereunder, such partial payment guaranty from and after
the
date executed (whereupon (i) the previous guarantor shall be released
solely with respect to obligations arising and accruing from and after the
date
of such Transfer and (ii) such replacement guarantor(s) shall become liable
for all obligations arising or accruing from and after the date of such Transfer
and (iii) from and after the date of such Transfer, such replacement
guarantor(s) shall be the “Guarantor” for all purposes set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being agreed and understood that
the
previous guarantor shall remain the “Guarantor” with respect to any and all
obligations accruing prior to the date of such Transfer)).

anything to the contrary contained herein, the terms and provisions of this
Section 5.26.5 are mutually exclusive from the term of the provisions
contained in Section 5.26.6.

and
its Affiliates;
(iv) Lender
shall have received a Rating Comfort Letter from the applicable Rating Agencies
(if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement from and after

this clause (iv) shall not apply in connection with a Transfer and Assumption
to
a Transferee Borrower that is a Permitted REIT Transferee;

the Loan has not been the subject of a Securitization, then Lender shall
have
determined in its reasonable discretion (taking into consideration such factors
as Lender may determine, including the attributes of the loan pool in which
the
Loan might reasonably be expected to be securitized) that no rating for any
securities that would be issued in connection with such securitization will
be
diminished, qualified, or withheld by reason of the Transfer and Assumption;
provided that the requirements contained in this clause (v) shall not apply
in
connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a Transferee Borrower that is
a
Permitted REIT Transferee;

REIT Transferee); and
(viii) The
identity, experience, and financial condition of the Transferee Borrower
and the
replacement guarantors and indemnitors shall be reasonably satisfactory to
Lender; provided that the requirements contained in this clause (viii) shall
not
apply in connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a Transferee Borrower
that
is a Permitted REIT Transferee.
(c) If
Lender consents to the Transfer and Assumption, the Transferee Borrower and/or
Borrower as the case may be, shall immediately deliver the following to Lender
concurrently with the consummation of such Transfer and Assumption:
(i) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an assumption fee in the amount of 0.50% of the then
unpaid Principal, less any review fees, costs and expenses previously paid
by
Borrower pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.26.6(a) above and
Section (b)(vi) above; provided that, no assumption fee shall apply in
connection with (1) the first Transfer and Assumption hereunder if a Transfer
described in Section 5.26.5(e) above has not theretofore occurred or (2)
to any Transfer and Assumption to a Transferee Borrower that is a Permitted
REIT

utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an
agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Equipment
waiving
all co insurance provisions; (C) providing for no “all risk” deductible in

non
conforming structures or uses. In addition, Borrower shall
obtain: (x) Flood Insurance in an amount sufficient to cover the
lesser of 20% of the insured building improvements, or the value of the first
floor building improvements, subject to a deductible not to exceed $500,000;

less a deductible of five percent (5%) of the Total Insured Value (which

required under this subsection (a) and rental interruption insurance
under subsection (c) below;

amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property for
a
period of eighteen (18) months from the date that the Property is repaired
or
replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of such rental
interruption 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 Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month
period. Subject to the rights of Lender and subject to the provisions

such
insurance may be provided under a blanket insurance Policy so long as the
coverage required pursuant to this clause is not reduced below the per

equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter defined) (the
“Terrorism Premium Cap”) for such coverage and, in the event
that Full Coverage is not available at a per annum cost of the Terrorism
Premium
Cap, then Borrower shall purchase insurance covering Terrorism Acts in an
amount
equal to the principal balance of the Loan, but shall not be required to
maintain the full amount of such coverage if such coverage is not available
at a
per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap or less, provided that in the
event
that the Terrorism Premium Cap is not sufficient to purchase such coverage
in an
amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan, then Borrower shall obtain
the greatest amount of coverage obtainable at a per annum cost of the Terrorism
Premium Cap. As used herein,
“Consumer Price Index” means the
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics of the United States Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan
Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto,
approximately adjusted, and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is
converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the
determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be made with the use
of
such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau
shall
not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula
or
table as may be published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any other nationally
recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer
Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto (i)
such
other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing or (ii) if
Lender
and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other index, as reasonably
selected by Lender.
In
the
event that the limits of insurance in place covering Terrorism Acts on a
portfolio basis are exhausted by damage to a property other than the Property,
then Borrower shall restore the coverage provided for in clause (x) above
(or any lesser amount of coverage that is available if such coverage is not
available), to the extent such insurance is commercially available;
and
(k) upon
sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such
reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against
such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against
for
property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which
the
Property is located.
7.1.2 Policies. All
insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 above shall be obtained under
valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or
in the singular, the “Policy” and shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles,
loss payees and insureds. The Policies (or a “cut-through”
endorsement, approved by Lender, with respect to any such Policy) shall be
issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized
to do
business in the State and, except in the case of flood hazard insurance and
earthquake insurance, having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by
S&P and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx’x (provided, however for multi-layered
policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies,
then at least seventy-five
-
74
-
percent
(75%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided
by
insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by
S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below
“BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) or (B) if five (5) or
more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent
(60%)
of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by
insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by
S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below
“BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency). The Policies
described in Section 7.1.1 above (other than those strictly limited to
liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee and Lender shall
be
an additional named insured, as its interests may appear. Five (5)
days prior to the renewal dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to
Lender,
certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence
satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder shall be
delivered by Borrower to Lender.
7.1.3 Insurance
Premiums. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof,
Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance
Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to
Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for
the
payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably
satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower is not
required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that
such
Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3
hereof). If Borrower is required to furnish such evidence and
receipts pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrower does not furnish
such
evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any
expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure,
such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees
to
reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on
demand. Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender,
Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required
hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration
changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes
in
prudent customs and practices of owners of property similar to the Property
located in or around the region in which the Property is located and as may
be
available at commercially reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that
the Policies, delivered with respect to the Property as of the date hereof
satisfy the requirements of this Article 7. Such approval
shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination of such Policies,
provided that there is not a downgrade by S&P or Xxxxx’x of any insurer
providing such Policies and, as a result thereof, Borrower fails to satisfy
the
rating criteria set forth in Section 7.1.2 above. Any renewal
or replacement of such Policies, however, shall require Lender’s approval as
provided above in this Section 7.1.3 unless (i) the companies
providing such renewal or replacement Policies are licensed or authorized
to do
business in the state where the Property is located and have a claims paying
ability rating by S&P and Xxxxx’x that satisfy the requirements set forth in
Section 7.1.2 above or that, subject to the provisions of Section
7.1.5 below, such rating is no less than the rating as of the date hereof
of
the company providing the insurance approved by Lender as of the date hereof,
(ii) the coverage provided by such renewal or replacement Policies is no
less than the coverage approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such
renewal or replacement Policies contain in all material respects the same
terms
and conditions as the Policies approved by Lender as of the date hereof and
(iv) Lender has not notified Borrower in accordance with this Section
7.1 that the requirements for the Policies have changed since the date
hereof.
-
75
-
7.1.4 Blanket
Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section
7.1 may be effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Property
and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided
that any blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of general liability
insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such blanket Policy that
is
allocated exclusively to the Property and shall comply in all respects with
the
requirements of this Article 7. Lender hereby confirms that it
approves (i) the terms of the existing Property Insurance Sharing Agreement
among Borrower and certain of its Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance
Premiums are financed through one or more finance companies (individually
and/or
collectively, the “Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement”) to whom Borrower pays Borrower’s allocable share of the
annual initial deposit and the monthly payments due for each blanket Policy
to
the applicable finance company (with respect to each blanket Policy, such
monthly payment, together with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share
of
the annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for
such
Policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date, each, a
“Financing Installment”).
Section
7.2 Casualty
.
7.2.1 Notice;
Restoration. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”),
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the
occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds
are
available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such
insurance proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 below), shall
promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of
at
least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such
damage or destruction (a “Casualty Restoration”), all to be
effected in accordance with applicable law
7.2.2 Settlement
of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an
“Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed
$1,500,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent
of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely
manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the
Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined). In the event of an
Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $1,500,000 (a “Significant
Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any
claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) in a
commercially reasonable manner on the amount to be paid on the loss, and
the
Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in
the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance
herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on
any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower
shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such
check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably
appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse
such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by
Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall
become
part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten
(10)
days following demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier
makes a
payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated
as
-
76
-
business
or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or
lack
of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment,
as
between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business
or
rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to
Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be
received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100%
of the
cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to
be
applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such
remaining net Proceeds, together with any portion of the amount treated as
business or rental interruption insurance that will be paid to Lender, will
be
sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
Section
7.3 Condemnation
.
7.3.1 Notice;
Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice
of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender
copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is available (unless
Lender
has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant
to
Section 7.4.1 below), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace
or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value
and
of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation (a
“Condemnation Restoration”, together with a Casualty
Restoration, collectively a “Restoration”), all to be effected
in accordance with applicable law.
7.3.2 Collection
of Award. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment (“Award”) for any
taking accomplished through a Condemnation (a “Taking”) and to
make any commercially reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with
any
such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the
right, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
to compromise and collect or receive any award that does not exceed
$1,500,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public or quasi-public
authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or
in
anticipation of such a Taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at
the
time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the
other
Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award
shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of
collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not
be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority
but
shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates
provided in the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable
to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. The expenses incurred by
Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Award shall become part of
the
Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender
within
ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

7.4 Application
of Proceeds or Award
.
7.4.1 Application
to Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in
connection with the Restoration of the Property and Improvements:
(a) If
the Net Proceeds shall be less than $1,500,000 and the costs of completing
the
Restoration shall be less than $1,500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed
by
Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set
forth
in Section 7.4.1(c)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a
written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete
with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.

completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $1,500,000 Lender
shall
make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.4. The term “Net
Proceeds” shall mean: (A) the net amount of all
insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 7.1.1(a), (d), (f),
(i) and (j) hereof (and any similar or comparable types of insurance
obtained pursuant to Section 7.1.1(i) hereof as a result of such damage
or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including,
but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same
(“Insurance Proceeds”), or (B) the net amount of the Award,
after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not
limited
to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, actually incurred in collecting same
(“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may
be.
(c) The
Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided
that
each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (1) in
the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent
(30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed
or
rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the
event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent
(15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located
along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the
Improvements is located in such land;
(iii) Leases
demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total
rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence
of
such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during
and
after the completion of the Restoration;
(iv) Borrower
shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in
no
event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
-
78
-
(v) Lender
shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be
incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any
such
fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered
out
of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 7.1.1(c) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of
Borrower;
(vi) Lender
shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the
earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the
earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Required
Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law,
ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property
to the
condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to
as
nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking,
as
applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 7.1.1(c) hereof;
(vii) the
Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance
with
and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all necessary operating or reciprocal easement agreements
for
the operation and maintenance of the Property are, or remain, in
effect;
(viii) the
Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws,
rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental
laws); and
(ix) such
fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in a material
loss of access to the Property.
(d) Unless
such amounts are payable to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof or
Section 7.3 hereof, the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an
interest-bearing account for the benefit of Borrower (which interest shall
be
added to and become a part of the Net Proceeds) and, until disbursed in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4, shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan
Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as
directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration,
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all
materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that
they
are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with
the
Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of
pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention
to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever
on the
Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully
bonded
to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company
issuing the title insurance policy.
(e) All
plans and specifications required in connection with any Restoration following
a
Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $1,500,000 or more
shall
be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender
and by an
-
79
-
independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty
Consultant”) provided that if the correspondence from Borrower to
Lender requesting approval of any such plans and specifications (or contractors,
subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith) contains a bold faced,
conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating that “IF YOU FAIL TO
RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS
DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender fails to respond to
such request for approval in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after
receipt by Lender of such written request, the related plans and specifications
and all information reasonably required in order to adequately review the
same,
then such approval will be deemed given. Lender shall have the use of
the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required
or
obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in any Restoration following
a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $1,500,000 or more,
as
well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject
to
prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which
acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(f) In
no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds
in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time
for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty
Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard
costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as
certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been
completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this clause (f),
be
less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.4.1 and that all approvals necessary for the
re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate
governmental and quasi governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence
satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in
full
or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided,
however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage
being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged
in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the
provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence
of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company
issuing the title insurance policy, and Lender 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 Lender, the release of any such portion
of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any,
which
has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman.
-
80
-
(g) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(h) If
at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not,
in
the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant,
be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated
by the
Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the
Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds
Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net
Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually
incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable
to
the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to
this
Section 7.4 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(i) The
excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of
the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance
with
the provisions of this Section 7.4.1, and the receipt by Lender of
evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with
the
Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower,
provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing
under
the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(j) Notwithstanding
the last sentence of Section 7.1.1(c) above and provided no Event of
Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the rental
or business interruption insurance specified in Section 7.1.1(c) above
with respect to any Casualty shall either (x) at any time other than during
the
continuance of a Cash Management Period, be released to Borrower for Borrower’s
deposit with the Clearing Bank or (y) during a Cash Management Period, be
deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account and allocated as Rents
in
accordance with Section 3.11(i) through (ix) hereof but (a) only to the
extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost Rents that would have been
due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty, and/or (ii) lost
Rents under Leases that had not yet been executed and delivered at the time
of
such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the insurer under the related
Policy
would have been due under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds
disbursed by such insurer reflect a replacement for such past due Rents)
and
(b) with respect to clause (y) above, only to the extent necessary to fully
make the disbursements required by Section 3.11(i) through (ix)
hereof. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed
in accordance with this Section 7.4.
7.4.2 Application
to Debt. 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 7.4.1(i) above may be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due
and
payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion
shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid,
either
in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate,
in
its discretion. So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any application of Net Proceeds to the Debt shall not require
any
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or any other premium or
penalty.

susceptible of cure, but not within such thirty (30) day period, then Borrower
may be permitted up to an additional sixty (60) days to cure such default
provided that Borrower diligently and continuously pursues such
cure;
(o) if
without Lender’s prior written consent, except as otherwise expressly permitted
by the Loan Documents, (i) the Management Agreement is terminated,
(ii) the ownership, management or control of Manager is transferred,
(iii) there is a material change in the Management Agreement, or
(iv) there shall be a material default by Borrower under the Management
Agreement that is not cured within any applicable notice or cure period provided
under the Management Agreement;
(p) if
Borrower ceases to continuously operate the Property or any material portion
thereof as office space for any reason whatsoever (other than temporary
cessation in connection with any repair or renovation thereof undertaken
with
the consent of Lender, in connection with retail or other uses of the Property
as in effect on the date hereof, or otherwise permitted under this
Agreement);
-
83
-
(q) if
any of the assumptions contained in the “non-consolidation” opinion delivered to
Lender in connection with the Loan, or in any other “non-consolidation” opinion
delivered subsequent to the closing of the Loan, is or shall become untrue
in
any respect; or
(r) if
Borrower fails to comply with the covenants as to Prescribed Laws set forth
in
Section 5.4.1 hereof.
Section
8.2 Remedies
.
8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described
in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 hereof) and at any time and from
time to time thereafter while such an Event of Default is then continuing,
in
addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the
Loan
Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice
or
demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against
Borrower and in and to the Property including declaring the Debt to be
immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest,
Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing
by
Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described
in
paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 hereof, the Debt (including unpaid
interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance
Premium
and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically
become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly
waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document
to the
contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies
Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available
to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity
may
be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not
all or
any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable,
and
whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or
other
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan
Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together
or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by
law,
equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event
of
Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule,
and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to
Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all
of
its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the
Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of
the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed
as
requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction
of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any
-
84
-
other
portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any
part
thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Lender
shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security
documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender
shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing
its
rights and remedies. 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 such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney
shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an
Event
of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall
impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Default
or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency
claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary
to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash
Management Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Lender’s
Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or
obligation contained herein (including the covenant set forth in the last
sentence of Section 5.4.1 hereof) and such failure shall continue for a
period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice
thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any
of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of
the
other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform,
or
cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses,
liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection
therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after
the
date Lender makes written demand therefor and, if not paid, shall be added
to
the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the
Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at
the
Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no
obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

in Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and,
to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under the Note,
Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, Borrower and its affiliates shall
use
reasonable efforts to comply with the requests of the holder of the Note

requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies, and/or Investors
in

with the Securitization in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere
with
the tenants or occupants thereof (such information in clauses (i), (ii) and

Information”), together with appropriate verification and/or consents
with respect to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions
of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to the holder of the Note
and the
Rating Agencies;
(b) prepare
a presentation for the Rating Agencies describing Borrower, Parent, the

be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization;

Note,
the Rating Agencies, Investors and/or other participants in the Securitization,
as to non consolidation or any other opinion customary in securitization

affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the
holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the
Securities;
-
86
-
(d) work
with and, if requested, supervise third-party service providers engaged by
Borrower to obtain, collect and deliver information reasonably required by
the
Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization;
(e) if
required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other
agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel
letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(f) make
such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization
with respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent, the Note, Loan Agreement
and
other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the
Note,
the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities and as are consistent
with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist
on
the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the
Note,
Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents; and
(g) execute
such amendments to the Note, Loan Agreement, other Loan Documents and
organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of
the
Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities or otherwise
to
effect one or more Securitizations (including, without limitation, such
amendments as shall be necessary or advisable to sever the Note (and/or any
then
existing component thereof) into one or more notes and/or one or more components
and allocate Principal amounts thereof in order to effectuate one or more
sales
of the Note (and/or the resulting notes or components thereof) and/or to
correspond to the related classes of Securities in one or more Securitizations
so long as, in all such cases, the overall duration-weighted interest rate
over
all of the notes and components shall equal the Interest Rate); provided,
however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend
the Note,
Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents if such modification or amendment
would (i) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrower or its
Affiliates, (ii) modify or amend the loan term, amortization or any other
economic term of the Loan or (iii) otherwise materially increase the
obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower or the other parties
pursuant to the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents (including,
but
not limited to, modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, event of default
or remedy provisions of the Loan Documents or the organizational documents
of
Borrower or its Affiliate).
9.1.2 Costs
and Expenses. Borrower, the REIT and their Affiliates will bear
their own internal costs of cooperation required by this Agreement in connection
with any Securitization, but Lender shall be responsible for all other
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with any Securitization after
the
closing of the Loan.
9.1.3 Indemnification.
(a) Borrower
and its respective Affiliates understand that certain of the Provided
Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with each
Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheets, structured
term sheets and computational materials (each, a “Disclosure
Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and
Exchange
-
87
-
Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to Investors
in
the Securities, the Rating Agencies and service providers relating to such
Securitization. In the event that such Disclosure Document is
required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower, and
its
respective Affiliates will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating
the
Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep
the
Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects;
provided, however, that this provision shall be limited to those
portions of the Disclosure Statement that described Borrower or any of its
Affiliates, the Property, the Loan or the other Loan Documents.
(b) In
the case of each Securitization, Borrower agrees to cooperate in connection
with
(i) the preparation of a preliminary and a final private placement
memorandum and/or (ii) the preparation of a preliminary and final
prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and (iii) the execution
of an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has
carefully examined in each such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable,
all
sections containing information relating to the Property, Parent, Borrower,
any
Affiliates of Parent, Borrower, or the Loan, and that such information included
therein (collectively, the “Securitization Information”), does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact known to Borrower that is necessary in order to make the statements
made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
(B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.1.3,
Lender hereunder shall include its officers, directors and employees), the
Person who acts as depositor, issuer and/or registrant who may have filed
a
registration statement relating to the Securitization, each underwriter or
placement agent involved in the Securitization, each of their respective
directors and officers and each Person who controls such Person within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange
Act
(collectively, the “Indemnified Group”), for any losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the
“Liabilities”) to which any of the Indemnified 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 the
Securitization Information which untrue or alleged untrue statement is not
expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has been given an
opportunity to review the Securitization Information, or arise out of or
are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Person in the Indemnified
Group for any legal or other expenses incurred by each such Person in connection
with investigating or defending the Liabilities for which an indemnity is
owed
hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any
such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such
Liability arises out of or is based upon any Provided Information or upon
the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact known to Borrower
that is required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, or any other information furnished to Lender or any other
Person
in the Indemnified Group by Borrower or an affiliate in connection with the
preparation of any Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting
of
the Debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower,
operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and
Property condition reports with respect to the Property. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may
otherwise have.
-
88
-
(c) In
the case of each Securitization, in connection with filings under the Exchange
Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) each Person in the Indemnified Group
for Liabilities to which each such Person may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or an alleged
untrue statement in the Provided Information or an omission or alleged omission
to state in the Provided Information a material fact known to Borrower that
is
necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in
light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue
or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is not expressly
disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has been given an opportunity
to
review such filings under the Exchange Act and (ii) each Person in the
Indemnified Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by
each
such Person in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities
for
which an indemnity is owed hereunder.
(d) Promptly
after receipt by a party seeking indemnification hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect
of
which a claim is to be made under this Section 9.1.3, such party will
notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission
to so
notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which Borrower
may
have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure
to
notify causes prejudice to Borrower. In the event that any action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the
commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and,
to
the extent that Borrower 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 reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from Borrower to
such indemnified party hereunder, Borrower shall be responsible for any legal
or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation;
provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include
both the indemnified party and Borrower 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 in addition to those
available to Borrower, 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
or
parties. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than
one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there may be legal defenses available to Borrower that are different
from
or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in
which
any indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.3 is for any
reason held to be unenforceable, unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless
an
indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities which would otherwise be
indemnifiable hereunder, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable
by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities; provided,
however, that if any indemnified party is guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities
Act) it
shall not be entitled to contribution from Borrower if Borrower was not guilty
of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of
contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following
factors
shall be considered: (i) the relative knowledge and access to
information concerning the matter with respect to which a claim was asserted;
(ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or
-
89
-
omission;
and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata
or per
capita allocation.
(f) The
liabilities and obligations of Borrower and its Affiliates hereunder shall
survive the termination of the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents
and
the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(g) Each
Person in the Indemnified Group is an intended third party beneficiary of
the
obligations of Borrower herein.
9.1.4 Rating
Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating Agencies to provide
rating surveillance services on Securities. The pro rata expenses of
such surveillance will be paid for by Borrower based on the applicable
percentage of such expenses determined by dividing the then outstanding
Principal by the then aggregate outstanding amount of the pool created in
the
Securitization which includes the Loan.
9.1.5 Severance
of Loan. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior
to, in connection with, or after any Securitization), with respect to all
or any
portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of
the
Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender
may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second
mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes
(i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components
of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the Principal balance of
the
Loan among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or
more loans secured by mortgages, in each such case, in whatever proportion
and
whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each
such instance the outstanding Principal balance of all the Notes evidencing
the
Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of
such modification equals the outstanding Principal balance of the Loan
immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest
rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after
the
effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original
Note immediately prior to such modification and such action shall not result
in
additional costs to Borrower except as expressly provided above. If
requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if
applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after
such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence
and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

of the
Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to
such
foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents (i) Lender shall not
be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file
a
claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the

not
its members (other than Guarantor solely to the extent provided in the

defined in the Note) under the Note is not paid when due; (B) other than in
connection with a default under subsection (x) of the definition of Special
Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity set forth in Schedule 5 hereto, Borrower
fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity

answer consenting to, or otherwise joining in, any involuntary petition for
bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy
law, or
any similar federal or state law filed against it by any other Person, or
is
found pursuant to a final, unappealable order of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have solicited or caused to be solicited creditors to file
any
involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant
to
federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law against Borrower
or
Guarantor, or (3) if Borrower or Guarantor are found, pursuant to a final

and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the

Loan, (iv) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or
(v) in connection with any other action taken by Servicer hereunder on
behalf of Lender (which shall not include ongoing regular servicing fees

not
be charged).

Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of
the
Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Debt
is
unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this
Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors
and assigns of Lender.
Section
10.5 Lender’s
Discretion
. Whenever
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any
right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent,
or
any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s
discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or
withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory

not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall
(except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion
of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to
any
departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
same
shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought,

instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle
Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or
other
circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant
or
agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder,
or
under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof,
nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future
exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or
privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document,
Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment
when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare
an
Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other
amount.
Section

AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE

Section
10.9 Headings/Exhibits
-
95
-
. The
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of
reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any
other
purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by
reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if
set
forth in the body hereof.
Section
10.10 Severability
. Wherever
possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of
this
Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without
invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this
Agreement.
Section
10.11 Preferences
. Upon
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have
the
continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all
payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent
Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any
collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared
to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and
continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not
been
received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
Section
10.12 Waiver
of Notice
. Borrower
shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender
except
with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower
and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to
applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any
notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to
Borrower.
Section
10.13 Remedies
of Borrower
. If
a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including
Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the
case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees
that
neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any
monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action
seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or
proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined
by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically
waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with
respect
to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
-
96
-
Section
10.14 Prior
Agreements
. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among
or
between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms
of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section
10.15 Offsets,
Counterclaims and Defenses
. Borrower
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory
or
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations
to
make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of
Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and
clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim
or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to
interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such
action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section
10.16 Publicity
. All
news releases, publicity or advertising through any media intended to reach
the
general public (collectively, “Public Releases”) issued by
Borrower or its Affiliates that refer to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender
or
any member of the Indemnified Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the
trustee in a Securitization shall be subject to the prior written approval
of
Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any Public Releases
without Borrower’s approval.
Section
10.17 No
Usury
. Borrower
and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract
for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under
state
law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in
the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever
judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under
the
Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved
or
received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to
accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results
in
Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable
law,
then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts
theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal
and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in
full,
refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately
be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced,
without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply
with
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender
for the use, forbearance or detention of 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 Debt does not exceed the
-
97
-
maximum
lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so
long
as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate
the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such
acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration.
Section
10.18 Conflict;
Construction of Documents
. In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of
the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by
separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan
Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle
of
construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
Section
10.19 No
Third Party Beneficiaries
. The
Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing
contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other
than
the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section
10.20 Yield
Maintenance Premium
. Borrower
acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the
receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred
by
the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender
prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary,
as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by
operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest
and
other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons,
and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or
involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance
Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether
payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the
purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender
at
such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a
knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully
understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well
as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan
by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents
are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield
Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan
on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such
provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this
Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment
of the
Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently
negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of
the
consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except
as
expressly permitted hereunder. BORROWER EXPRESSLY
ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT,
BORROWER HAS AGREED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PREPAY THE LOAN IN
WHOLE
OR IN PART WITHOUT PREMIUM EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, AND THAT
BORROWER SHALL
-
98
-
BE
LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM,
AS APPLICABLE AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED HEREIN IF BORROWER PREPAYS THE LOAN
FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF AN ACCELERATION OF THE LOAN. FURTHERMORE,
BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER SECTION 2954.10 OF THE CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE, AND BORROWER AGREES THAT IF A PREPAYMENT
OF ANY OR ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE
MATURITY DATE BY LENDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION PROHIBITED
OR
RESTRICTED HEREIN OR BY THE MORTGAGE, BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY
CONCURRENTLY THEREWITH THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM,
IF
ANY. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER HAS
MADE THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IN RELIANCE ON THE FOREGOING AGREEMENTS AND
WAIVERS OF BORROWER, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS LOAN WITHOUT SUCH
AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, AND THAT THE MAKING OF THE LOAN AT THE
INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE
CONSIDERATION, GIVEN WEIGHT BY THE UNDERSIGNED, FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND
WAIVER.
Section
10.21 Assignment
. The
Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations
and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors
and
assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part,
whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in
interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to
Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer
to
such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in
interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may
not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement
or
under any of the Loan Documents except as specifically provided in Section
5.26.5 of this Agreement and Section 5.26.6 of this
Agreement. In connection with any assignment, the new Lender shall
provide notice to Borrower of the identity, address and other pertinent
information pertaining to the new Lender.
Section
10.22 Certain
Additional Rights of Lender
. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender
shall
have:
(1) the
right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant
business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower,
provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions
of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous
substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no
less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special
meetings at any reasonable times;
-
99
-
(2) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books
and
records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;
(3) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive financial
reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity
and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding
indebtedness;
(4) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other rights
of
Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing
to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the
Debt
remains outstanding;
(5) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other right
of
Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar
right), to restrict, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event
of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar
fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;
(6) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other rights
of
Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any
operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower;
(7) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of
any
other significant property (other than personal property required for the
day to
day operation of the Property); and
(8) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower
held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests
in such
member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.
The
rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person
that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender. The
provisions of this Section 10.22 are intended to satisfy the
requirement of management rights for purposes of the Department of Labor
“plan
assets” regulation 29 C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101.
Section
10.23 Set-Off
. In
addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement
and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower,
any
such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off
and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any
other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct
or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held
or
owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account
of
Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give
such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

Section
10.24 Counterparts
. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.
Section
10.25 1031
Exchange Transaction.
(a) Notwithstanding
any provisions of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document to the
contrary, the Accommodator is acting as an exchange accommodation titleholder
in
connection with a like-kind exchange under Code Section 1031 and Revenue
Procedure 2000-37 for the benefit of the OP (the “1031 Exchange
Transaction”). As an accommodation party the general credit
of the Accommodator is not obligated or available for the payment of the
Debt. Lender will not look to the Accommodator or the Accommodator’s
directors, officers, and employees with respect to the Debt or any covenant,
stipulation promise, indemnity, agreement or obligation contained
herein. In enforcing its rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents, Lender will look solely to the Property, Borrower and/or the
Guarantor for the payment of the Debt and for the performance of the provisions
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender will not seek a
deficiency or other money judgment against the Accommodator or the
Accommodator's member's directors, officers, and employees and will not
institute any separate action against the Accommodator by reason of any default
that may occur in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of the
Loan
Documents between Borrower and Lender. This agreement on the part of Lender
shall not be construed in any way so as to affect or impair the Liens of
the
Loan Documents or the Lender's right to foreclose on such Liens or to limit
or
restrict any of the rights or remedies of Lender in any foreclosure proceedings
or other enforcement of payment of the Debt or to limit or restrict the right
of
Lender to pursue any actions or remedies against Borrower and/or Guarantor
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
(b) Accommodator
shall not resign as exchange accommodation titleholder or otherwise transfer
its
membership interest in Borrower to any Person except as permitted under
Section 5.26.5(b) hereof or Section 10.25(c) below, without the
prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall be deemed to have been
provided in connection with any transfer by Accommodator to another
nationally-recognized exchange accommodator that agrees to take title to
Borrower’s membership interest subject to the documents delivered in connection
with the 1031 Exchange Transaction, provided that a substantive
non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender is delivered in connection
with
such transfer.
(c) No
Transfer of any direct or indirect interest in the Accommodator shall be
permitted hereunder except as set forth below. Transfers of direct or
indirect interests in the Accommodator shall be permitted hereunder provided
that after giving effect to such Transfer, (A) LaSalle Bank, National
Association (or the parent of another nationally-recognized exchange
accommodator that agrees to cause its subsidiary to take title to Borrower’s
membership interest subject to the documents delivered in connection with
the
1031 Exchange Transaction) shall own at least fifty-one percent (51%) of
the
indirect interests in, and otherwise Control (in the sense of clause (ii)
of the
defined term “Control”) the Accommodator and (B) the REIT shall continue to own
not less than a fifty-one percent (51%) direct general and/or limited
partnership interest in
-
101
-
the
OP
and the REIT and the OP shall continue to Control (in the sense of clause
(ii)
of the defined term “Control”) Borrower. In addition, the Sale
or Pledge of stock in LaSalle Bank, National Association shall be permitted
hereunder. Borrower shall give Lender notice of any such transfer of
which it is aware and Lender may require that, at Borrower’s sole costs and
expense, a new or updated substantive non-consolidation opinion acceptable
to
Lender be delivered in connection with such transfer. If a default or
violation of the provisions set forth herein with respect to the transfers
of
interests in the Accommodator (as opposed to interests in the Borrower
held by the Accommodator) occurs (and without limiting or modifying any of
the
other transfer restrictions and provisions set forth in this Agreement and
the
other Loan Documents), no Event of Default shall de deemed to occur hereunder
if
the 1031 Exchange Transfer is completed within thirty (30) days of such default
or violation.
(d) Borrower
expressly acknowledges that, together with its own professional advisors
and
legal counsel, it has performed its own due diligence and legal analysis
relating to the ownership structure and to the financial, tax, legal and
other
issues as it had deemed necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment
decision in connection with the 1031 Exchange Transaction. Borrower
expressly acknowledges that Lender has not acted in any way whatsoever as
an
advisor to Borrower with respect to the foregoing and agrees that Lender
shall
have no responsibility or express or implied liability whatsoever with respect
to any of the foregoing.
