Treasury
Rate
Determination Date: the
date which
is five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled prepayment
date.
UCC: the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the state of Delaware or the state

Yield
Maintenance Premium: the amount equal to the greater of
(i) (x) two percent (2%) of the Principal balance of the Loan at the time
of prepayment, if such prepayment is made prior to the Defeasance Release Date
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.

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
$470,000,000.00 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 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
-
19 -
(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 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
-
20 -
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 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;
-
21 -
(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;
(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
-
22 -
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 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
-
23 -
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 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.
-
24 -
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.

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 (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.

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
-
25 -
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 disburse funds held in the
Required Repairs 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, 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 be paid in full with respect
to
the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested
disbursement; (ii) copies of appropriate Lien waivers or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to Lender; (iii) at Lender’s option, if the costs of
the repairs exceed $250,000, a title search for the Property indicating that
it
is free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (iv) a copy of
each License required to be obtained by Borrower 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 reasonably request that the
Required Repairs which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been
completed and paid for (or will be paid for with such
disbursement). Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and is continuing, upon Borrower’s completion of all 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
-
26 -
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 $22,164
(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 “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
-
27 -
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender $12,130,000 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) $110,818 (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 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
-
28 -
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 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,
-
29 -
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 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.
Section
3.9 Ground
Rent Reserve
. Borrower
shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date, an amount that is estimated by Lender
to be sufficient to pay any installment of Ground Rent under the Ground Lease
which is due before the next Payment Date and Lender will transfer such amounts
to a Subaccount (the “Ground Rent
Subaccount”). Lender will (i) apply
the funds in the Ground Rent Subaccount to payments of Ground Rent required
to
be made by Borrower under the Ground Lease prior to delinquency, or, if
requested by Borrower, (ii) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon
presentation of evidence of payment of the same. In making any
payment of funds from the Ground Rent Subaccount in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, Lender may do so according
-
30 -
to
any
xxxx, statement or estimate procured from Ground Lessor, without inquiry into
the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any
claim by Ground Lessor. If at any time Lender determines that the
funds then on deposit in the Ground Rent Subaccount are not or will not be
sufficient to pay the installments of Ground Rent due prior to the next Payment
Date, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and shall increase
the
monthly deposit into the Ground Rent Subaccount by the amount that Lender
reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency.
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 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
-
31 -
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, to make payment into the
Ground Rent Subaccount as required under Section 3.9 hereof; (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 $3,000,000
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 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
-
32 -
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
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
-
33 -
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 leasehold title to the interests in the Property demised under the
Ground Lease 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
-
34 -
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

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

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

transactions occurring in connection with the acquisition of the Property on
or
prior to the date hereof.

Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth in the engineering reports obtained

all
of the Improvements and the use of the Property comply in all material respects
with, and shall remain in compliance in all material respects with, all
applicable statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or hereafter
relating to the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property,
including all applicable Prescribed Laws and all applicable statutes, rules
and
regulations pertaining to requirements for equal opportunity,
anti-discrimination, fair housing, environmental protection, zoning and land
use
and the Improvements comply in all material respects with, and shall remain
in
compliance in all material respects with, applicable health, fire and building
codes. Borrower is not aware of any illegal activities relating to
controlled substances on the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, all
certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation,
certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use,
occupancy and operation of the Property as an office building (collectively,
the
“Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and
effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Improvements comply with
all material requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and
ordinances. To Borrower’s knowledge, in the event that all or any
part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be
legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction,
and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other
ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any
variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to
the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the
Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning nor any other
right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon
or
related to any property other than the Property, except as set forth in the
Ground Lease or in the Operating Agreements for the benefit of the
Property. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with
the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and, to Borrower’s

in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
Section

Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act
. No
part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing
or
acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would
be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan
Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a
“subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a

Borrower’s best knowledge, the Property has adequate rights of access to public

facilities. Other than as disclosed on the Survey (as hereinafter
defined), all public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment
of
the Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public
right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so
as
to serve the Property without passing over other property. All roads
necessary for the full utilization of the Property for its current purpose

Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the
Property.

Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in
good condition, order and repair in all material respects; and there exists
no
structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent
or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance
company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or
any
part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the
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
restored in all material respects.
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 of the Leases (and
any existing subleases thereunder) or pursuant to the Ground
Lease. 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, except as disclosed to Lender in
writing on or prior to the date hereof; (iv) to Borrower’s best knowledge,
each Lease is in full force and effect; (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
-
37 -
(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 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
-
38 -
. 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 sale
of the Property by Borrower and the 1031 Exchange Transfer.

to
and in accordance with that certain Assignment and Subordination of Management

super-lien and environmental clean-up statutes (including with respect to Toxic
Mold) and all rules and regulations adopted in respect to the foregoing laws
(collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (b) the Property is
not subject to any private or governmental lien or judicial or administrative
notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim relating to hazardous and/or
toxic, dangerous and/or regulated, substances, wastes, materials, raw materials
which include hazardous constituents, pollutants or contaminants including
without limitation, petroleum, tremolite, anthlophylie, actinolite or

of the Property. Notwithstanding anything 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.

or

Lease
-
43 -
(1) Recording;
Modification. All documents required to record the Ground Lease in
the applicable real property records have been duly recorded (or shall be
recorded at closing prior to the recordation of the Mortgage). The
Ground Lease permits the interest of Borrower to be encumbered by a mortgage
or
Borrower has obtained the consent of the Ground Lessor thereto and Ground Lessor
has delivered an estoppel in form reasonably acceptable to
Lender. Except as set forth in the definition of “Ground Lease”
herein, there have been no amendments or modifications to the Ground Lease
which
are currently in effect.

of

Lease Assignable. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in the Ground Lease, (i) Borrower’s interest in the Ground Lease is
assignable to Lender or its designee and (ii) the Ground Lease is further
assignable by Lender, its successors and assigns.

on the part of Borrower and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, (i) no default
on the part of Ground Lessor and (ii) there is no existing condition which,
but
for the passage of time or the giving of notice, would result in a default
under
the terms of the Ground Lease which gives the Ground Lessor the right to
terminate the Ground Lease. Neither Borrower nor Ground Lessor has
commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of
terminating the Ground Lease.
(5) Notice. The
Ground Lease provides that the Ground Lessor may not amend, terminate or cancel
or accept the surrender of the Ground Lease without the prior written consent
of
Lender.
(6) Cure. On
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Ground Lease, Lender
is
permitted the opportunity to cure any default under the Ground Lease, which
is

terminate the Ground Lease.
(7) Term. The
Ground Lease has a term that extends not less than twenty (20) years beyond
the
Stated Maturity Date.
(8) New
Lease. The Ground Lease (or the Ground Lessor estoppel delivered
to Lender as of the date hereof) requires the Ground Lessor to enter into a
new
lease with Lender upon the termination of the Ground Lease for any reason (other
than a termination consented to by Lender or resulting from a total taking
in
the event of a Condemnation), including rejection of the Ground Lease in a
bankruptcy proceeding, provided that Lender cures any defaults that are
susceptible to being cured by Lender.
All
of
the representations and warranties in this Article 4 and elsewhere in the
Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt
remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon
by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by
Lender or on its behalf; provided, however, that, with regard to
events or conditions that occur or arise on the Property before Lender or any
other Person
-
44 -
acquires
the Property by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure, the representations,
warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.21 above shall survive in
perpetuity.

continuing, (ii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes
or such Other Charges, (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and

.
5.4.1 Repairs;
Maintenance and Compliance. Borrower shall at all times maintain,
preserve and protect all franchises and trade names, and Borrower shall cause
the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair and shall
not remove, demolish or alter the Improvements or Equipment (except for
alterations performed in accordance with Section 5.4.2 below and normal
replacement of Equipment with Equipment of equivalent value and
functionality). Borrower shall promptly comply with all Legal
Requirements, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws, and immediately
cure properly any violation of a Legal Requirement, including, without
limitation, Prescribed Laws; provided, however, that after prior
written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith
and
with due diligence, such Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall not be
prohibited by the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall
be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances;
(iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost;
(iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with
such Legal Requirement and pay all costs, interest and penalties which may
be
payable in connection therewith; and (v) such proceeding shall suspend the
requirement of Borrower to comply with such Legal
Requirement. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing within one (1)
Business Day after Borrower first receives notice of any such
non-compliance. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild
any part of the Property that becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated and shall
complete and pay for any Improvements at any time in the process of construction
or repair.
5.4.2 Alterations. Borrower
shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any alterations to the Improvements, the
cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed $3,500,000 (the
“Threshold Amount”) or that will have a material adverse effect
on Borrower’s financial condition, the use, operation or value of the Property
or the Net Operating Income with respect to the Property, other than
(a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Existing
Lease, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and
provisions of a Lease executed after the date hereof and not adversely affecting
any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system
contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting
a
part of any Improvements (it being understood that the foregoing provision
shall
not require Lender’s consent to tenants’ exterior signage pursuant to any Lease
approved by Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement) or (c) alterations performed in connection with the restoration
of the Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (“Excluded
Costs”). If Lender fails to respond to a 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 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
-
48 -
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 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
-
49 -
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.
5.8.4 Underground
Storage Tanks. Borrower shall not install or permit to be
installed on the Property any underground storage tank.
Section

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

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

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

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

51 -
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.

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

connection with a Transfer and Assumption; (vi) shall, upon request of
Lender, request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver

(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.

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 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.

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

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-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

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
-
53 -
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.

connection with the consummation of the 1031 Exchange Transfer (if any), as
the
case may be, shall be true and correct in all respects.
Section
5.15 Change

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

shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of

shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion
of
the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use

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

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

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

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

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 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
-
63 -
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

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

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)).
Notwithstanding
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.

Lender’s consent to the Transfer and Assumption, subject to the conditions set
forth in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section
5.26.6. Together with such written application, Borrower will pay

interruption); (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the
insurance provided for in subsection (a) above; (C) containing an
unlimited period of restoration and extended period of indemnity endorsement
which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Equipment

such rental income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the
loss,
or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the Property is repaired
or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and
notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period,
provided that the unlimited period of restoration endorsement may be limited

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

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
of Section 7.4.1(j) below, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to
this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations
secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and
under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations
secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for
in
the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are
actually paid out of the proceeds of such rental interruption
insurance;
(d) at

all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates; provided, that
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
occurrence limit set forth in this clause;
(h) motor
vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non owned vehicles, including
rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, excluding

(j) if
“certified acts of terrorism”, as declared by the United States Government, are
now or hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance
policy, business income coverage, commercial general liability insurance or
umbrella liability insurance coverage, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement
to
such policies, or separate policies, insuring against all such “certified acts
of terrorism” (such acts or events so excluded, “Terrorism
Acts”); provided Borrower shall not be required to spend in excess of
an amount equal to 150% of the aggregate amount of all insurance premiums
payable for all coverages required for the Loan with respect to the Property
and
all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates per annum for the
last policy year in which coverage for terrorism was included as part of the
“all risk” property policy, adjusted annually by a percentage 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
-
76 -
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 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
-
77 -
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.
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
$3,000,000, 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 $3,000,000 (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
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
.
-
79 -
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
$3,000,000. 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.
Section
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 $3,000,000 and the costs of completing
the
Restoration shall be less than $3,000,000, 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.
(b) If

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;
(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;
-
81 -
(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 $3,000,000 or more shall
be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender
and by an 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 $3,000,000 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
-
82 -
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.
(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
-
83 -
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.

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 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
-
87 -
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.

PROVISIONS
Section
9.1 Sale
of Note and Securitization
.
9.1.1 Cooperation
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 or
to
take such action as may be required by a purchaser, transferee, assignee,
servicer, participant or other potential investor (collectively, the
“Investor”) or by the Rating Agencies in connection with one or
more sales, transfers or
-
88 -
assignments
of the Loan (or portions thereof or interests therein), or grants of
participation interests therein, in connection with one or more securitizations
of such Note, or portions thereof or interests therein (each such sale and/or
securitization, a “Securitization”) involving the issuance of
rated or unrated single-class or multi-class securities (the
“Securities”) secured by or evidencing direct or indirect
ownership interests in, among other things, the Note (or any portion thereof
or
interests therein) and the Loan Agreement. Such efforts, with respect
to each Securitization may include, without limitation, to:
(a) (i) provide
such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower,
the
OP and the REIT (the OP and the REIT, being individually or collectively
referred to herein as the “Parent”) and the manager of the
Property as reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be necessary
or
appropriate in connection with the Securitization (including, without
limitation, existing audited or unaudited financial statements or at no expense
to Borrower or any Parent, audited or unaudited financial statements),
(ii) provide budgets relating to the Property (iii) at no expense to
Borrower or any Parent, perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted

reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and
other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies, and/or Investors
in
the Securities, or as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection
with the Securitization in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with
the tenants or occupants thereof (such information in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) being collectively referred to as the “Provided
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
Property, management of the Property and such other matters as are customary
for
securitizations such as the Securitization, in each case as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in
the
Securities or as may be reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to
be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization;
(c) cause
counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note,
the Rating Agencies, Investors and/or other participants in the Securitization,
as to non consolidation or any other opinion customary in securitization
transactions with respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent and their respective
affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to
the
holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the
Securities;
(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
-
89 -
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 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,
-
90 -
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.
(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
-
91 -
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 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.
-
92 -
(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.

any deficiency judgment against any of the Borrower Parties or any other Person
in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or in connection with

release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by this Agreement,
the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of
Lender to name any of the Borrower Parties, as a party defendant in any action
or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the
validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan
or
any rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of

or
any affiliate thereof;
(c) the
material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification
provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in this Agreement
concerning Environmental Laws, Hazardous Substances and Asbestos;
(d) the
removal or disposal by Borrower or any affiliate thereof of any portion of
the
Property after an Event of Default has occurred and while it is continuing,
unless such portion of the Property is replaced by an item of equal or greater
value as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion;
(e) the
misapplication or conversion by Borrower or any affiliate thereof of
(i) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or

(iii) any Rents following an Event of Default or (iv) any Rents paid
more than one (1) month in advance;
-
94 -
(f) failure
to pay charges for labor or materials or taxes or other charges that can create
liens superior to the lien of the Mortgage on any portion of the Property unless
such taxes or other charges are being contested in accordance herewith or such
taxes or charges have been delivered to Lender in accordance with Section
3.3 hereof or Borrower has complied with Section 5.2 hereof;
and
(g) any
security deposits collected by Borrower or any affiliate thereof with respect
to
the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the

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 Loan
Documents, and (ii) the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrower (but not
its members (other than Guarantor solely to the extent provided in the
Non-Recourse Guaranty and/or the Partial Payment Guaranty) or other direct
or
indirect constituent members or partners or any other Person) in the event
that: (A) the first full Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount (as
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
in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such failure results in
the
substantive consolidation of Borrower with another Person; (C) except as
otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower fails to obtain
Lender’s prior written consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary
lien encumbering the Property; (D) except as otherwise permitted pursuant
to the Loan Documents, Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent
to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Property or any interest
therein as and to the extent required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or
(E) (1) if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement
pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall
be filed by Borrower or Guarantor, or (2) if Borrower or Guarantor files an
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
unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to have been in
collusion with creditors that initiate a bankruptcy action or proceeding against
Borrower or Guarantor.
Section

and Financial Advisors
. Borrower
hereby represents that, with the exception of Eastdil Secured, it has dealt
with
no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or
finders in connection with

the
Loan. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with enforcing this indemnity or
defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to or arising
from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in

reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees
and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the

Property, (iii) in connection with an assumption or modification 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
relating to the day-to-day servicing of the Loan, for which Borrower shall
not

Section

. This
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
or
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

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

Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other
amount.
Section

Section
10.9 Headings/Exhibits
. 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
-
98 -
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.
Section
10.14 Prior
Agreements
-
99 -
. 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 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,
-
100 -
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 BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR YIELD
MAINTENANCE PREMIUM, AS APPLICABLE AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED
-
101 -
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;
(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;
-
102 -
(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
-
103 -
. 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
