2.2.2. Interest
Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall

such

to
a different calendar day each month which is not more than five (5) days earlier

such prepayment occurs.
2.4.2. Mandatory
Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the
date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not
obligated, or does not elect pursuant to the terms hereof to make such Net
Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall prepay, or
authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding
Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such
Net
Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the
Loan Documents, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment
made
pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any partial prepayment under
this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due

on
the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment,
and
(b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition
against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall
pay, in addition to the Debt if such prepayment occurs prior to the Prepayment
Lockout Expiration Date, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium that
would be required if a voluntary prepayment pursuant to Section 2.4.1(b)
had occurred in an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal
Balance.
2.4.4. Application
of Prepayments. Any amounts received by Lender on account of
prepayments made in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall be applied by
Lender exclusively in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4,
and not pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7.2, whether or not such funds
may have been deposited into the Cash Management Account.

of Payments of Principal. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the following principal payments or
prepayments shall be allocated between the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan as
follows:

omitted;

continue to be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan, all in
Lender’s discretion: first, to the Debt, in any order, priority and
proportions as Lender shall elect from time to time, until the Debt is paid
in
full, and then, as a distribution permitted under applicable law, (i) disbursed
to Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with the terms of the
Mezzanine Loan Agreement if the Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is
then
outstanding, until the Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (ii) the balance
disbursed to Borrower; and

Rents received by Lender upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Assignment of Leases shall

3.1 of such Assignment of Leases, and/or (ii)
-
27 -

follows:
“An
obligee which accelerates the maturity date of the principal and accrued
interest, pursuant to contract, on any loan secured by a . . . deed of trust
on
real property . . ., upon the conveyance of any right, title or interest in
that
property, may not claim, exact or collect any charge, fee, or penalty for any
prepayment resulting from that acceleration.”
“The
provisions of this section shall not apply to
[any] loan . . . in which the obligor has
expressly waived, in writing, the right to repay in whole or part without
penalty, or has expressly agreed, in writing, to the payment of a penalty for
prepayment upon acceleration. For any loan executed on or after
January 1, 1984, this waiver or agreement shall be separately signed or
initialed by the obligor and its enforcement shall be supported by evidence
of a
course of conduct by the obligee of individual weight to the consideration
in
that transaction for the waiver or agreement.”
Borrower
hereby waives any and all rights of Borrower under California Civil Code,
Section 2954.10, as amended from time to time, including the right to prepay
the
principal owing under the Note or this Agreement without penalty prior to the
Maturity Date and the right to raise California Civil Code, Section 2954.10
as a
defense to Lender claiming, exacting and collecting any Yield Maintenance
Premium, prepayment fee or prepayment premium or any other amount owing by
Borrower under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any other Loan
Documents.

Section
2.6. Release
of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no

upon Defeasance.
(a) If
Borrower has elected to defease the entire Loan and the requirements of

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
Section
4.1. Borrower
Representations. Borrower represents and warrants as of the date
hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
4.1.1. Organization. Borrower
has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with
requisite power and authority 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, businesses and
operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and
authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its
properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged, and the
sole
business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the
Property. The organizational structure of Borrower is as set forth on
the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III.
4.1.2. Proceedings. Borrower
has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered
by
or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations
of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective
terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability,
to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in
a
proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3. No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as
applicable, will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms
or
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or
-
34 -
result
in
the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than
pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower
pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement,
partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument
to
which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is
subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of
any
statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or
with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement
or
any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and
effect.
4.1.4. Litigation. There
are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any
Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or
affecting Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, which actions, suits or
proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, might
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5. Agreements. Borrower
is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction
which might reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants
or
conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party
or by
which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material
financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or
by
which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted
pursuant to clause (t) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth
in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) Obligations.
4.1.6. Title. Borrower
has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property
comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property,
free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such
other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens
created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the
aggregate will not have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgage and
the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records,
together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to
be
filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority
lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens
created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and
to,
and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases),
all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any
applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant
to
the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To
Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or
materials affecting the Property that are or may become a Lien prior to, or
of
equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7. Solvency. Borrower
has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or
executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the
-
35 -
actual
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably
equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of
Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the
Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated,
disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of
Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be
greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of
its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the
making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry
out
its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower
does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and
liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond
its
ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account
the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to
be
payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition
in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Guarantor or any of their
respective constituent Persons, and none of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their
respective constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit
of
creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of
debtors. None of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective
constituent Persons is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it
under
any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all
or
a major portion of its assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge
of
any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Guarantor
or any of their respective constituent Persons.
4.1.8. Full
and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in
this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary
to
make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is
no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to
Lender which has, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might reasonably be
expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.9. No
Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to
contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets”
of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (b) transactions by or with
Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other
restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect
to,
governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar
to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently
in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement including the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under
the
Loan Documents.
4.1.10. Compliance. Borrower
and, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Property (including the use thereof) comply in
all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building
and zoning ordinances and codes and Prescribed Laws. Borrower is not
in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of
any
Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or
any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the
Property any act or omission affording
-
36 -
any
Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any
part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under
any of the Loan Documents.
4.1.11. Financial
Information. All financial data, including the statements of cash
flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in
connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material
respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property
as of
the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an
independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed
therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have
any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term
commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments
that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse
Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial
statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has
been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or
business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial
statements.
4.1.12. Condemnation. No
Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best
knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion
of
the Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the
Property.
4.1.13. Federal
Reserve Regulations. 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 which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U
or
any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited
by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement
or
the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14. Utilities
and Public Access. The Property has rights of access to public
ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities
adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public
utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property
are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which
are
connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property)
or in
recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in
and
insured by the Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the
use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated
to
public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.1.15. Not
a Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the
meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.
4.1.16. Separate
Lots. The Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which
constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of
any
other tax lot not a part of the Property.
4.1.17. Assessments. To
Borrower’s knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other
assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the
-
37 -
Property,
nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result
in
such special or other assessments, other than the Permitted
Encumbrances.
4.1.18. Enforceability. The
Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would
the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of
any
right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles
of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting
creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and none of
Borrower or Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19. No
Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of the Leases or
any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which
are
presently outstanding.
4.1.20. Insurance. Borrower
has obtained and has delivered to Lender certificates for all Policies required
hereunder, with all premiums currently payable thereunder, reflecting the
insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this
Agreement. No claims have been made under any such Policies, and no
Person, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything that would
impair the coverage of any such Policies.
4.1.21. Use
of Property. The Property is used exclusively as an office
building, a parking structure and other appurtenant and related
uses.
4.1.22. Certificate
of Occupancy; Licenses. To Borrower’s knowledge, all
certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of
completion and use and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy
and/or operation of the Property as currently occupied and used (collectively,
the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full
force and effect. Borrower shall keep and maintain in full force and
effect all Licenses necessary for the operation of the Property as currently
occupied and used. The use being made of the Property is in
conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the
Property.
4.1.23. Flood

irrigation systems and all structural components, is in good condition, order
and repair in all material respects. To Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no
structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent
or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or
bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part
thereof, which would adversely affect the

insurability
of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon
or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance
or

Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in
Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof. Borrower is
the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases. 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. The current
Leases are in full force and effect and there are no defaults thereunder by
either party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or
the
giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults thereunder. The
copies of the Leases delivered to Lender are true and complete, and there are
no
oral agreements with respect thereto. No Rent (including security
deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due
date. All work to be performed by Borrower under each Lease has been

tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other
payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by Borrower

BORROWER
COVENANTS
Section
5.1. Affirmative
Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and performance
in full of all Obligations or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage
(and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender
that:
5.1.1. Existence;
Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to
be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and
effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with
all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower and the Property, including
Prescribed Laws. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and
Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with
the
operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording any
Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture against the Property or any
part
thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of
the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to
commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right
of
forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and
protect all franchises and trade names, and preserve all the remainder of its
property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the
Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause
to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements,
betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the
Mortgage. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by
financially sound and
-
42 -
reputable
insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and
such
other insurance, as is more fully provided in this
Agreement. Borrower shall operate the Property in accordance with the
terms and provisions of any Operations and Maintenance Agreement, if any, in
all
material respects. After prior 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, the validity of any Legal
Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the
Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided,
that: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured;
(b)
such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with,
the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder; (c) such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the
Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest;

Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any
such
Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation
of
any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of
the
contested Legal Requirement against Borrower and the Property; and (g) Borrower
shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may
be
reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal
Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection
therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause
compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable
judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal
Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or
interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost.
5.1.2. Taxes
and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges
now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property, or any
part
thereof, as the same become due and payable; provided, however,
that Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long
as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2
hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been
so
paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date
on
which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not
paid. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of
the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become
delinquent, provided, however, that Borrower is not required to
furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes if such Taxes have been paid by
Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower shall not
suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge
whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and
shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the
Property. After prior 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, the amount or validity or application in
whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided, that (a) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with, the
provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder; (c) such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the
Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest;
(e)
Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of
any
such Taxes or Other Charges,
-
43 -
together
with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection
therewith; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested
Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower shall furnish such
security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender,
to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all
interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash
deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at
any
time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such
claimant is established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest
therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled
or
lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed
by
any related Lien.

in Legal Proceedings. Borrower shall cooperate fully with Lender
with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental

such
proceedings.

with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of
Section 10.13 hereof.
5.1.8. Condemnation
and Insurance Benefits. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance
Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and
Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith
(including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the
expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation
affecting the Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance
Proceeds.

expense:

Year
basis, in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to
Lender), proper and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all of
the
financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection
with the operation of the Property. Lender shall have the right from
time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice
(which may be verbal) to examine such books, records and accounts at the office

and shall include amounts representing annual Net Cash Flow, Net Operating
Income, Gross Income from Operations and Operating
Expenses. Borrower’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied
by (i) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income

financial statements have been audited and given an unqualified opinion by
a
“Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Lender, which audited financial statements may be
in
the form of schedules to the audited consolidated financial statement (prepared
in accordance with GAAP or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender)
of
the REIT, and (B) as of the date thereof, whether there exists an event or
circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Loan
Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower, and if such

days after the end of each calendar month the following items, accompanied

complete and fairly present the financial condition and results of the
operations of Borrower and the Property (subject to normal year-end
adjustments): (i) a rent roll for the subject month; (ii) monthly and
year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared
for
each calendar month, noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations
and Operating Expenses, and, upon Lender’s request, other information necessary
and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of
operation of the Property during such calendar month, and containing a
comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses
together with a detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%)
or
more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, all in form
satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a calculation reflecting the annual Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of
the
last day of such month; and (iv) a Net Cash Flow Schedule. In
addition, such Officer’s Certificate shall also state that the representations
and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof are true
and correct as of the date of such certificate and that there are no trade
payables outstanding for more than sixty (60) days.
(d) For
each Fiscal Year Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later
than
thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year in form
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Annual Budget shall be subject
to Lender’s approval (each such Annual Budget approved by Lender being referred
to herein as an “Approved Annual Budget”). In
the event Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower
which
requires the approval of Lender hereunder, Lender shall advise Borrower of
such
objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to
Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower
shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to
Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such
revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver
to
Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower

this
Subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget. Until such time
that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget that requires the approval of
Lender hereunder, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply;
provided, however, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect
actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities
expenses.

Borrower must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure
not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each, an “Extraordinary
Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a
reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for
Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld if such
Extraordinary Expense is necessary to prevent material damage to the Property
or
injury to Persons.
(f) If,
at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender
expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower
collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties
collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender
promptly upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net
Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender
expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans
as
of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount
of
the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such
Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans
are
included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less
than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage
loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization,
or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation
AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any
Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the
principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off
date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any
Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty
percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included
or expected to be included, as applicable, in the
Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be
furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender
in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the
Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal
quarter of Borrower, and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the
end
of each Fiscal Year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower
shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements
pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to
any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with
or
relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act
Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender,
Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements
for
any tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender
expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants,
a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be
included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group
of
Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(g) All
financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant
to Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP,
and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal
requirements. All financial statements referred to in Section
5.1.11(f) hereof shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower
acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable
legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of
the
independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of
Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further
accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent
accountants, in form and substance acceptable to
-
47 -
Lender,
to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and
any
Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants
and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure
Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same
time as the related financial statements are required to be
provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or
unaudited) provided by Borrower under Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that
such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence

operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to
Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other
legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange
Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(i) In
the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the
financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with
Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other
legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding
the
provisions of Section 5.1.11(g) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower
shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements
as
Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such
compliance.
(j) Any
reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this
Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a diskette, and (iii)
if
requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems
without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using
Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may
be
prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing
files). Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information

Section 5.1.11 in connection with the Securitization to such parties
requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.

businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are necessary
for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the
Property. Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in
good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the
same
are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the
Property.
5.1.13. Title
to the Property. Borrower will warrant and defend (a) the title
to the Property and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted

of the Lien of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, subject only to Liens
permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against
the
claims of all Persons whomsoever. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for
any losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in the Property, other than
as
permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.
-
48 -

Matters. Any new Major Leases executed after the date hereof, and
all modifications, renewals or terminations of existing Major Leases, shall
be
approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Any Lease modification or renewal that causes an existing
Lease to become a Major Lease, shall be approved by Lender, which approval
shall

interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan

a
manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents nor alter, modify
or change the terms of any Major Lease, without the prior written consent of
Lender; and (f) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such
further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases
as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not enter into a
lease
of all or substantially all of the Property without Lender’s prior written
consent.
5.1.21. Alterations. Borrower
shall obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Alterations to any Improvements,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed except
with respect to any Alterations to any Improvements which may have a Material
Adverse Effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall
not be required in connection with any Alterations that will not have a Material
Adverse Effect, provided that such Alterations (a) are made in connection with
tenant improvement work performed pursuant to, or Alterations permitted without
Borrower’s consent by, the terms of any Lease approved by Lender pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, (b) do not adversely affect 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 and the
aggregate cost thereof does not exceed One Million and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00), or (c) are performed in connection with Restoration after

the
Reserve Funds) shall at any time exceed Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars

as
additional security for the Obligations any of the following: (i)
cash, (ii) U.S.

Obligations,
(iii) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the
applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself,
result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if
higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof
in
connection with any Securitization, (iv) a Letter of Credit, or (v) a completion
and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank. Such security shall
be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect
to
Alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to
be
paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or by disbursements from the
Reserve Funds) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security
from
time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such Alterations.

of Property. (a) Borrower shall cause the Property to
be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management

of
any material default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii)

and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed
and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement, in a commercially
reasonable manner.

of Guarantor, in each case, without obtaining the prior written consent of
Lender.

consent of Lender.
-

5.2.7. No
Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate
the joint assessment of all or any portion of the Property (a) with any other
real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, or (b) which

5.2.8. Principal

principal place of business set forth in the introductory paragraph of this
Agreement without first giving Lender at least thirty (30) days prior
notice. Borrower shall not change the place of its organization as

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon Lender’s request,
Borrower shall execute and deliver additional financing statements, security

days
prior to the date of such change).
5.2.9. ERISA.
(a) Borrower
shall not engage in any transaction that would cause any obligation, or action
taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights
under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt
(under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction
under ERISA.
(b) Borrower
further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other
evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by

-
53 -
(a) Borrower
acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower
and its general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust)
beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as
the
Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s
ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property
as
security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other
Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest
in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower
default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations
contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the
Property.
(b) Without
the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set
forth
in this Section 5.2.10, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any
Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber,
pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose
of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law
or
otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Property
or
any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit
a
Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party (clause (i) and
(ii) above, collectively, a “Transfer”), other
than pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance
with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof.
(c) A
Transfer shall include, but not be limited to: (i) an installment sales
agreement wherein Borrower agrees to sell the Property, or any part thereof,
for
a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by Borrower leasing all
or
substantially all of the Property for other than actual occupancy by a space
tenant thereunder, or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant
of a
security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases
or any Rents; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger,
consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation’s stock or the creation or
issuance of new stock; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general
partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change,
removal, resignation or addition of a general partner or the Sale or Pledge
of
the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or proceeds
relating to such partnership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of limited
partnership interests or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited
partnership interest or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership
interests; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger
or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing
member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the
Sale

if
no managing member, any member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such
limited liability company interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing
limited liability company interests or the creation or issuance of new
non-managing limited liability company interests; (vi) if a Restricted Party
is
a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the Sale or Pledge of
the
legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance
of new legal or beneficial interests; or (vii) the removal or the resignation
of
the managing agent (including an Affiliated Manager) other than in accordance
with Section 5.1.22 hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 5.2.10, the following transfers shall not
be deemed to be a Transfer and shall not require Lender’s
consent: (i) the sale or transfer, in one or a series of
transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the
-
54 -
stock
in
a Restricted Party; and (ii) the sale or transfer, directly or indirectly,
in
one or a series of transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%)
of
the limited partnership interests or non-managing limited liability company
interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party; provided,
however, that with respect to each such sale or transfer (A) no such
sales or transfers shall result in the change of voting control in the
Restricted Party, (B) as a condition to each such sale or transfer, Lender
shall
receive not less than thirty (30) days prior notice of such proposed sale or
transfer, (C) no such sale or transfer of any direct ownership interests in
Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower shall be permitted, (D) Borrower shall pay or
cause to be paid any and all costs imposed or incurred as a result of any such
sale or transfer, including any transfer taxes, and (E) if after giving effect
to any such sale or transfer, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the
aggregate of direct or indirect interests in a Restricted Party are owned by
any
Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct
or indirect interest in such Restricted Party as of the Closing Date, Borrower

and the Rating Agencies. In addition, at all times, except following
a transfer of the Property permitted pursuant to Section 5.2.10(f)
hereof, the Operating Partnership must continue to (1) Control Borrower,
Guarantor, and any Affiliated Manager, and (2) own, directly or indirectly,
at
least a fifty-one percent (51%) interest in Borrower, Guarantor and any
Affiliated Manager. The sale, transfer or issuance of stock in the
REIT shall not be deemed a Transfer hereunder, provided, that the stock
of the REIT is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange or such other
nationally recognized stock exchange.
(e) 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 a Transfer without Lender’s written
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.
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any Transfers
or
rights under Section 5.2.10(g) hereof, Lender agrees that it shall not
unreasonably withhold its consent to a Transfer (or to an unlimited number
of
Transfers) of the Property by Borrower (or the then owner of the Property),
provided that the following terms and conditions are
satisfied: (i) Borrower (or the then owner of the Property) shall
have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of the
proposed Transfer and the proposed Transfer shall not be effective earlier
than
the date that is twelve (12) months after the first Payment Date; (ii) no
Default, Event of Default, Mezzanine Default or Mezzanine Event of Default

Insolvency Opinion reflecting the proposed Transfer reasonably satisfactory
in
form and substance to Lender; (vii) the proposed transferee’s compliance with
the representations and covenants set forth in Section 4.1.30 and

remoteness
of the proposed transferee, and its shareholders, partners or members, as the
case may be, following such Transfer is in accordance with the then current
standards of Lender and the Rating Agencies; (ix) prior to any release of
Guarantor, a substitute guarantor acceptable to Lender in its discretion shall
have assumed the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity executed by Guarantor,
or executed a replacement guaranty, environmental indemnity, reasonably
satisfactory to Lender; (x) Lender shall have received confirmation in writing
from the Rating Agencies to the effect that such Transfer will not result in
a
re-qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned
to the Securities or any class thereof in any applicable Securitization; (xi)
the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.10(f) of
the
Mezzanine Loan Agreement; and (xii) the satisfaction of such other conditions
as
Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the interest of
Lender, including the creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the
transferee with respect to the Loan and the Property.
(g) A
Transfer that occurs by inheritance, devise or bequest or by operation of law
upon the death or disability of a natural Person who holds a direct or indirect
interest in Borrower, and a Transfer by a natural Person of direct or indirect
interests in Borrower for estate planning purposes, shall not require the
consent of Lender and no transfer fee shall be payable in connection therewith,
provided, however, that, in each case, such Transfer is to a
non-minor member of the immediate family of the holder of such interest, or
a
trust established for the benefit of a member of the immediate family of the
holder of such interest, and provided further that, in each such case, each
of
the following transfer conditions are satisfied:
(i) no
Event of Default or Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred and remain
uncured;
(ii) Borrower
shall give Lender notice of such Transfer together with copies of all
instruments effecting such transfer not less than ten (10) days prior to the

or indirect interest in the Borrower as of the date hereof owning more than
a
twenty percent (20%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower, Borrower shall
give Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of such Transfer and Lender
shall have an opportunity to perform its customary credit and background
searches with respect to such transferee, except in the case of the death or
disability of an interest holder, in which event Borrower shall give Lender
notice of such Transfer within ten (10) Business Days after such
Transfer;
(iii) no
such Transfer of interest shall result in a change of Control of Borrower (or
its managing member/general partner) or the day-to-day operations of the
Property, or, if such Transfer would result in a change of Control of Borrower
(or its managing member/general partner) or the day-to-day operations of the
Property, as a result of the death or disability of an interest holder that
is a
natural Person, Lender shall have approved in good faith the Person that will
Control Borrower and/or the day-to-day operations of the Property;
(iv) the
legal and financial structure of Borrower and its shareholders, partners or
members, and the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of
-
56 -
Borrower
and its shareholders, partners or members, after such Transfer shall satisfy
Lender’s then current applicable underwriting criteria and
requirements;
(v) if,
after taking into account any prior Transfers pursuant to this Section
5.2.10(g), whether to the proposed transferee or otherwise, such Transfer
(or series of Transfers) shall result in (A) the proposed transferee, together
with all members of his/her immediate family or any Affiliates thereof, owning
in the aggregate (directly, indirectly or beneficially) more than forty-nine
percent (49%) of the interests in Borrower (or any entity directly or indirectly
holding an interest in Borrower), or (B) a Transfer in the aggregate of more
than forty–nine percent (49%) of the interests in Borrower as of the date

facility or loan facilities to one or more Qualified Pledgors from a group
of
lenders for which a Qualified Institutional Lender acts as agent or collateral
agent or will act as initial administrative and collateral agent, and (ii)
related hedging arrangements in connection with the loan facility or loan
facilities described in clause (i); provided, however, that in
either case, such Qualified Pledgor(s) pledges, directly or indirectly, its
or
their equity interests in substantially all of the property owning subsidiaries
in which Operating Partnership holds a direct or indirect interest, and provided
further that any enforcement action taken pursuant to such pledge shall

($50,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general
liability insurance policy required under Subsection (ii)
above;
(viii) motor
vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including

the Property is or becomes a legal “non-conforming” use, ordinance or law
coverage and insurance coverage to compensate for the cost of
-

demolition
or rebuilding of the undamaged portion of the Property along with any reduced
value and the increased cost of construction in amounts as reasonably requested
by Lender;
(x) the
commercial property and business income insurance required under Sections
6.1(a)(i) and (iii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of
terrorism and Borrower shall maintain commercial property and business income
insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms
consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii)
above at all times during the term of the Loan; provided, however,
Borrower shall not be required to incur a cost for such terrorism coverage
that
is in excess of one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of all other insurance
coverage, other than earthquake insurance coverage, required pursuant to this
Section 6.1(a) (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) for the
immediately preceding annual policy period. In the event that the
annual premium for terrorism coverage in an amount equal to the “Full
Replacement Cost” coverage exceeds the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall
be required to maintain as much terrorism coverage as is available for a premium
equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap; and
(xi) upon
sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable
amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other

similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property
is
located.
(b) All
insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid
and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies”
or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject

companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The
Policies shall be issued by a syndicate of not less than five (5) financially
sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the
State, of which either (i) one hundred percent (100%) shall have a claims paying
ability rating of “A/A2” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two
(2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P
if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Xxxxx’x
is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the
Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, or (ii) sixty percent (60%) shall
have a claims paying ability rating of “A/A2” or better (and the equivalent
thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one

Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and the
remaining forty percent (40%) of which shall have a claims paying ability rating
of “BBB-” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the
Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P
is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Xxxxx’x is rating
the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then
only by such Rating Agency. The Policies described in Section
6.1(a) hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection)
shall designate Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Within ten (10)
days of 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
-
60 -
premiums
due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be
delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) The
insurance coverage required under this Section 6.1 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 l comply
in all respects with the requirements of this Section 6.1. 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”).
(d) All
Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except
for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name
Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its Affiliates) as the additional
insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler
and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New
York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing
that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All
Policies provided for in Section 6.1 hereof shall contain clauses or
endorsements to the effect that:
(i) intentionally
omitted;
(ii) the
Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to
Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the
issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been
renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender
shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.
(f) If
at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies
are
in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to
Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest
in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender
deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with
such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be
paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by
the
Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section
6.2. Casualty. If
the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or
other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give
prompt notice of such
-
61 -
damage
to
Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of
Restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property
was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such Alterations as may be
reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section
6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration
whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement
discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final
settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs
of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and
No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all
instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section
6.3. Condemnation. Borrower
shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement
of
any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall deliver to Lender copies
of
any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender
may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time
deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such
participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute
any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts,
and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such
proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public
authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including any transfer made in
lieu
of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue
to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance
shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Proceeds shall have been actually
received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection,
to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be
limited to the interest paid on the Condemnation Proceeds by the applicable
Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Condemnation
Proceeds interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the
Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a
Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section
6.4 herein. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or
otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Condemnation Proceeds, Lender
shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall
have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Condemnation Proceeds,
or
a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section
6.4. Restoration. The
following provisions shall apply in connection with Restoration:
(a) If
the Net Proceeds shall be less than One Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00) and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than
One
Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be disbursed
by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided, that all of the conditions
set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to
Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily
complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
-
62 -
(b) If
the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater One Million and No/100 Dollars

than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will
be
held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The
term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section
6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds
received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv),
(vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or
destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same
(“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of any
payments received from a Governmental Authority on account of Condemnation
or in
any transaction or proceeding in lieu thereof, after deduction of the reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in
collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the
case may be.
(i) In
the event that the Net Proceeds equal or exceed One Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000), the Net Proceeds shall, at the option of Lender in its discretion,
be applied to the payment of the Obligations or applied to reimburse Borrower
for the cost of the Restoration in the manner set forth below. In the
event that the Net Proceeds are less than One Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000), the Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for
Restoration upon the approval of Lender that the following conditions are
met:
(A) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1)
in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has
been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such 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 on such land;
(C) Leases
demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than ninety
percent (90%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised
under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence
of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in
full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration,
notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever
the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto
at
their sole cost and expense;
(D) Borrower
shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no
event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever
the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory
completion;
(E) Lender
shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments
of principal and interest under the Note, which
-
63 -
will
be
incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any
such
Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of
(1)
the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section
6.1(a)(iii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of
Borrower;
(F) Lender
shall be satisfied that 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 Leases, (3) such time as
may
be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (4) the expiration of the
insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii)
hereof;
(G) the
Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and
permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) Restoration
shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion
and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such
Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in a material loss
of
access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(J) the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property for the next twelve (12) full
calendar months, after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or
greater than 1.10:1.0;
(K) the
Loan-to-Value Ratio after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or
less than eighty percent (80%);
(L) Borrower
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget
approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost
of completing Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender;
and
(M) the
Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower
with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost
of Restoration.
(ii) The
Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender in an interest-bearing account
and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other
Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as
directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of Restoration, upon
receipt of evidence 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 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 which have not either
been
fully
-
64 -
bonded
to
the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully
insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company.
(iii) All
plans and specifications required in connection with Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an
independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty
Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained
in
connection with Restoration. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration, 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. All costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available
for Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the
Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) 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 Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant,
minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty
Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or
materialman engaged in Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of
the
costs actually incurred for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified
by the Casualty Consultant, until Restoration has been completed. The
Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount
actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released
until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and
that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have
been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of 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 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
related 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.
(v) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
-
65 -
(vi) If
at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not,
in
the 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
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 Restoration on the same conditions applicable to
the
disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this
Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the
Other Obligations.
(vii) The
excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that Restoration has been completed in accordance with
the
provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence
satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with Restoration
have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender (I) to the Mezzanine Cash
Management Account, or (II) if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full,
provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing,
to Borrower.
(c) All
Net Proceeds not required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) to be
made
available for Restoration, or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net
Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof, may be retained and
applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward
reduction of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, or,
in
Lender’s discretion, the same may be paid, (A) if the Mezzanine Loan is
outstanding, to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, or (B) if the Mezzanine
Loan has been paid in full, to Borrower either in whole or in part, for such
purposes as Lender shall approve in its discretion. No prepayment
charge shall be payable by Borrower by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation
so
long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to such
Casualty or Condemnation.
(d) In
the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the
Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title
and
interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then
in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall
thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

7.1. Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
7.2. Tax
and Insurance Escrow Funds. Borrower shall pay to Lender (i)(A)
on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $__________ and (i)(B) on each Payment
Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during
the
next ensuing twelve (12)
-
66 -
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)(A) on the Closing
Date, an amount equal to $__________ (the “Initial Blanket Insurance
Premium Installment”) and (ii)(B) 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 (ii)(C) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth
(1/12th) of such Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be
payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies for an annual
period 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 the preceding clauses (i) and
(ii) being hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow
Funds”). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to
an account held by Lender (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow
Account”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the
Monthly Interest Payment shall be added together and shall be paid as an
aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided no Event of Default
shall exist, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments
of
Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to
Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof and under the Mortgage 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 Escrow 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 Escrow
Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant
to
Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall credit such excess
against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Any
amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been
paid in full shall be transferred to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account
or,
if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full, returned to Borrower. 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 Escrow Funds are not or will not be
sufficient to pay the items set forth in clauses (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 Escrow Funds
shall become part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and shall be disbursed
in accordance with this Section 7.2. If Lender so elects at
any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract
for the term of the Loan 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 of the
Loan.
Section
7.3. Replacements
and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1. Replacement
Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date
one twelfth of the amount (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly
Deposit”) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to
be due for replacements and repairs
-
67 -
required
to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the
“Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve
Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall
hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve
Account.” Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount
necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, but not more
frequently than 2 times in any calendar year, and may increase the monthly
amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty
(30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion
that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation
of the Property.
7.3.2. Disbursements
from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall
make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only
for
the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make
disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for
the
costs of routine maintenance to the Property.
(b) Lender
shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements
set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the
Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs
of
Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such
Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made
pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as reasonably determined by Lender. In
no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement
Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each
request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a
form
specified or approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion and shall specify
(i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii)
the
quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the
purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials
(grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase
or
replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or
other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for
disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that
all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the
Property. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of
invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or
services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as
described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall
include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such
amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for
disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after
completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is
requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion
satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower
shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to
which
a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement
from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender
will
issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier,
materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due
in
connection with a Replacement. In the case of
-
68 -
payments
made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person
receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve
Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may
require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier,
materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal
to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its
materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the
requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials
supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by
the
current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor,
supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check,
the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous
release of funds request).
(e) If
(i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000.00, (ii) the contractor performing
such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written
contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic
payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
may
be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided
(A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work,
(B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property
and
are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other
conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds
remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment,
sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required,
and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving
payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to
amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower
shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with
the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall
not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3. Performance
of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements
when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent
with other first class, full service office properties in the same market
segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep
the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower
shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as
practicable following the commencement of making each such
Replacement.
(b) Lender
reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders
under
which Borrower would have the obligation to pay $500,000.00 or more with
materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties
providing labor or materials in connection with the
Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any
contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In
the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement
is
not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement
has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have
the
option to
-
69 -
withhold
disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing
contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and
to
apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary
to
complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and
to
exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default
hereunder.
(d) In
order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant
to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the
Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under
their Leases) and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete
or
make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from
damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the
Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan
to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower
constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full
power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name
of
Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power
coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers
said attorney in fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the
Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the
Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the
Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements;
(iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and
inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or
compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against
the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the
Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and
certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the
contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings
in
connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property;
and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf
to
fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing
in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making
or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition
to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii)
obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to
demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any
Replacement.
(f) Borrower
shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without
limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making
Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during
normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases)
to
inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in
connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such
Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any
Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to cause all contractors and subcontractors
to
cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons
described above in connection with inspections described in this Section
7.3.4(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section
7.3.3.
-
70 -
(g) Lender
may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s reasonable expense prior
to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order
to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is
sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an
appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may
require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified
professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts
from
the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the reasonable
out of pocket expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such
inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified
professional.
(h) The
Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item
comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or
completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or
other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement
which
have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before
each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require
Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective
to
the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or
materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the
Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the
Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage
and
any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All
Replacements shall materially comply with all applicable Legal Requirements
of
all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and
applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable
building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements
of insurance underwriters.
(k) In
addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall
provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s
risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required
under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All
such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard
mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so
endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to
Lender.
7.3.4. Failure
to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of
Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision
of
this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after
notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default,
Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any
purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided
in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or
toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender
may
determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and
apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights
and
remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
-
71 -
(b) Nothing
in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the
Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the
Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5. Balance
in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance
in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its
obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan
Documents.
7.3.6. Indemnification. Borrower
shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, actual losses, damages,
obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the
performance of the Replacements, except to the extent caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Borrower shall assign to
Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities
supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided,
however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event
of
Default has occurred and remains uncured.
Section
7.4. Unfunded
Tenant Allowances; Rollover Reserve Funds.
7.4.1. Unfunded
Tenant Allowance Funds. On the date hereof Borrower has deposited
with Lender the principal sum of $7,018,725.00 (the “Unfunded Tenant
Allowance Amount”) in an account with Lender (the
“Unfunded Tenant Allowance Funds”). Lender
shall disburse to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of written
request thereof portions of the Unfunded Tenant Allowance Amount in connection
with the obligation of Borrower to pay for Unfunded Tenant Allowances pursuant
to a Lease as set forth on Schedule IV hereto upon delivery to Lender of an
Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender certifying to
Lender that the amount requested by Borrower to be released by Lender is then
due and payable to a tenant in accordance with such tenant’s applicable
Lease.
7.4.2. Rollover
Funds. On the date hereof Borrower has deposited with Lender the
principal sum of $2,518,275.00 (the “Rollover Reserve
Amount”) in an account with Lender (the “Rollover
Reserve Funds”). Lender shall disburse portions of the
Rollover Reserve Amount for tenant improvement and leasing commission
obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses shall be approved
by Lender in its reasonable discretion. Lender shall make
disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of
no
less than $10,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of a written request therefor
accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if
required by Lender, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing
materials and/or services in connection with the requested
payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at
Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify
completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought.
Section
7.5. Reserve
Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower
grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the
Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each reserve
account
-
72 -
as
additional security for payment and performance of the
Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the
Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the
Obligations. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and
remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of
the
Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Debt in any order in its
discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and
may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) Borrower
shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign
or grant any security interest in any Reserve Funds or the monies deposited
therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to
be
made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender
as
the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The
Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest
at a
money market rate selected by Lender. Provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest or other earnings
on
any of the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Funds, which shall belong to Lender) shall be added to and become a part of
such
Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies
comprising such Reserve Funds. Borrower shall have the right to
direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted
Investments, provided that (i) such investments are then regularly
offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such
investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules,
regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is
not
later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for
payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv)
no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower
shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other
tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with
the
exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds). No other
investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in
this
Section 7.5. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs
associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted
Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings
on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall
not
be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly
on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of
return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted
Investments.
(d) Borrower
shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all
actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, actual damages,
obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the
Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds
were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and
claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or
other
services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds;
provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or
claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

above) and at any time
thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant
to this Agreement and the other 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 Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and
Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided
in
the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including all rights

Section
8.2. Remedies.
(a) 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
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by,
or
applicable to, Borrower 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 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,
singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as Lender may determine, 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 herein or in the other
Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower
agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by
applicable law (i) Lender shall not be 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 and the Mortgage has
been
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt
or
the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) 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 (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such
denominations as Lender shall determine for purposes of evidencing and enforcing
its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute
and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender,
a
severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order
to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby
absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney,
coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all
documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower
ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof;
provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such
documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given
to
Borrower by Lender of Lender’s
-
76 -
intent
to
exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in
connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i)
Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed
Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any
representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents
and
any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents
will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(c) Except
as limited by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time
to
partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured
by
the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender, including the
following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any
applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of
principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such
delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less
than
the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage
to
recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured
by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more
partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to
secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously
recovered.
(d) Any
amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after
an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest
and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan
Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender
determines.
(e) The
rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative
and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have
against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers
and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such
time
and in such order as Lender may determine. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall
impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to
time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver
of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

securitizations
of rated single or multi-class securities (the
“Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership
interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool
of
assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations
and/or securitizations, collectively, a

any such reallocation or modification shall equal the amount of the Outstanding
Principal Balance of the Loan immediately prior to such reallocation or

the other Loan Documents shall not be adversely affected. At the
request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by

by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily
adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or
the
Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization, including

letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably

(v) make
such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization
with respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as
may
be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and 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 Loan
Documents;
-
78 -
(vi) execute
such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the
Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new
component notes to replace the original Note or modify the original Note, this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect multiple components of the
Loan (and such new notes or modified Note shall have the same initial weighted
average coupon of the original Note and provide for the same total amortization
payments, but each such new note or modified Note may have different interest
rates and provide for varying amortization payments), and modify the Cash
Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that
the
pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of
Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies
shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating
levels for the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be
required to modify any of the Loan Documents if such modification or amendment
would (A) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrower or (B) modify
or
amend the Loan term, weighted average interest rate, amortization or any other
economic term of the Loan or otherwise materially adversely increase the
obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan
Documents, including modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, events of
default, or remedy provisions, or the organizational documents of Borrower
or
its Affiliates;
(vii) if
requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower,
Guarantor, Manager and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final

be
used by Lender or any Affiliate thereof; and
(viii) supply
to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports as may be in
the
possession or control of Borrower or its Affiliates in form and substance
required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
(b) Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred Guarantor in
connection with Borrower complying with requests made under clause (a) of this
Section 9.1, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for its own
legal fees and other associated expenses.
(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 9.1(a) hereof to the contrary, and without
limiting the provisions of Section 9.7.1 and/or 9.7.2 hereof,
Borrower covenants and agrees that after the Closing Date and prior to a
Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest
rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances of each of
the
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan between each other and to require the payment of
the
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated
by
Lender; provided, however, that (i) the weighted average interest
rate of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan following any such reallocation or
modification shall not be changed from the weighted average interest rate in
effect immediately preceding such reallocation or modification, (ii) the
aggregate principal balance of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan following any
such reallocation or modification shall equal the aggregate principal balance
of
the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to such reallocation or
modification, and (iii) Borrower’s rights and

obligations
any other material term of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall
not be materially adversely affected.
(d) In
connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a portion of the Loan,
Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including payment
dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc) under the Loan Documents,
by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a
“Re-Dating”). Borrower shall cooperate with
Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If Borrower fails to cooperate
with Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender
is hereby appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to
execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the
Re-Dating.
(e) All
reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower, Guarantor or
Lender in connection with Borrower complying with requests made under clauses
(c) and (d) of this Section 9.1 (including the fees and
expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.
Section
9.2. Securitization
Indemnification.
(a) Borrower
understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in
Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization 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 and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to
investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies,
and
service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that
the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all
Securities, Borrower 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.
(b) The
Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization,
an
indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons
have
carefully examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents regarding the
Property, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan (to the extent such information
relates to or includes any Provided Information) (collectively with the Provided
Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), and
(B) that the Covered Disclosure Information does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in
order
to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which
they
were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender,
any
Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the
Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with
the
Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement
agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any
other
co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities
issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors,
partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person
or
entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an
“Indemnified Person” and collectively, the
“Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims,
damages,
liabilities, costs or
-
80 -
expenses
(including legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations
(collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such
Indemnified Person 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 any of the Disclosure Documents, but only to the extent based
upon Provided Information, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has
had an opportunity to review the Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
the
statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each
Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified
Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending
the
Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any
liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the
indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall
be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement described
in
clause (i) above is provided.
(c) In
connection with filings under the Exchange Act, the Indemnifying Persons jointly
and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities
to
which any such Indemnified Person 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 in the Provided Information, or the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided
Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not
expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has had an opportunity
to review such filing under the Exchange Act, and (ii) to reimburse each
Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or
investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the
commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying
Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action;
provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying
Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the
indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that
it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that
the
failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the
provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action
shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any
Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified
Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such
Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection
with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence;
provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include
both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified
Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified
-
81 -
Person
shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available
to
it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those
available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall
have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and
to
otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct
its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and
disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement
hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to
substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to
the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder
to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be
liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such
Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal
defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without
the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld),
no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any
judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any
Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit
or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable
prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each
Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding. As long as an Indemnifying Person has
complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such
Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any
Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(f) The
Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought
pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be
unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person
harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this
Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such
Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities
for
which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is
insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the
relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such
Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such
indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided
by
clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as
is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(x)
but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand,
and
all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable
considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be
entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable
for
such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that
in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons
collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by
underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons
in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
-
82 -
(g) The
Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and
reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply
whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims
or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the
Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section
9.2.
(h) The
rights liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the
Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the
Obligations.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation
to
act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with
respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section
9.3. Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
9.4. Exculpation. Subject
to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrower (or any of Borrower’s members, managers partners
shareholders, or Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, collectively, the
“Borrower Parties”) to perform and observe the
obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be
sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action,
an
action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding
to
enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this
Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the
Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein,
any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against
Borrower or the Borrower Parties only to the extent of Borrower’s or the
Borrower Parties’ interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other
collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement,
the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for,
seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or the Borrower Parties
in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with,
the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan
Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a)
constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or
secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name
Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale
under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty
made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender
thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a
receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute
a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against Borrower
in
order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or commencing any
other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its
remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender
to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or
otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability,
claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the
following:
-
83 -
(i) fraud
or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Guarantor in connection
with
the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO;
(ii) the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower, Guarantor or any other
Restricted Party;
(iii) the
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision
in
the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws,
hazardous substances or asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect
thereto in any Loan Document;
(iv) wrongful
removal or destruction by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower of any portion
of the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default or any intentional
physical waste of the Property by Borrower of any Affiliate thereof,
provided, however, that such physical waste shall exclude wear and
tear to the Property that occurs in the ordinary course of business of the
Property;
(v) any
Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of
the
Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct
of
criminal activity by Borrower or any Restricted Party in connection
therewith;
(vi) any
misrepresentation, miscertification or breach of warranty by Borrower or
Guarantor with respect to any representation, warranty or certification
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document
executed in connection therewith, pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or
otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to
release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow)
or to take other action with respect to the Collateral (as defined in the
Mortgage);
(vii) the
misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its
Affiliates of (A) any Insurance Proceeds, (B) any Condemnation Proceeds, or
(C)
any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance; provided such amounts are
not
applied to the payment of the Loan or the Operating Expenses of the
Property;
(viii) failure
to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens
on
any portion of the Property that are superior to the Lien of the Mortgage,
unless such charges are being contested in accordance herewith;
(ix) any
security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected by Borrower
or any Affiliate thereof with respect to the Property which are not delivered
to
Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except
to
the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms
and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of
Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
or
(x) if
Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, fails to provide
financial information specifically required by this Agreement or fails to
-
84 -
appoint
a
new Manager upon the request of Lender, each as required by, and in accordance
with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan
Documents, (A) 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 secured
by
the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all
of
the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Borrower shall
be
personally liable for the payment of the Debt (1) in the event of: (a) Borrower
filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal
or
state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition
against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state
bankruptcy or insolvency law by any other Person in which Borrower colludes
with
or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited
petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any
Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing
in
or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person
under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency
law; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application
for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower
or any portion of the Property; or (e) Borrower making an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding,
its
insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (2) if the first
Monthly Interest Payment is not paid when due; (3) if Borrower fails to maintain
its status as a Special Purpose Entity as required by and in accordance with
the
terms of this Agreement and there is a substantive consolidation of Borrower
with any other Person; (4) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to
any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property as required by
this
Agreement or the Mortgage; or (5) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior
consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the
Mortgage.
Section
9.5. Matters
Concerning Manager. If (i) at any time, the Debt Service Coverage
Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period is less than 1.0
to
1.0, (ii) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (iii) at Maturity the
Debt is not repaid in full, (iv) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent
or (v) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any
applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender,
terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager with a Qualified Manager
pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed
that the management fee for such Qualified Manager shall not exceed then
prevailing market rates. In the event such Qualified Manager is an
Affiliated Manager, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender
an
Additional Insolvency Opinion with respect to such Qualified
Manager.
Section
9.6. Servicer. At
the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the
“Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate
all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the
“Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and
Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or
any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement
or
for the payment of the regular monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under
the Servicing Agreement.

Section
9.7. Restructuring
of Loan.
9.7.1. Mezzanine
Loan.
(a) Lender
and Borrower have contemporaneously with the negotiation of the Loan Documents
also negotiated a complete set of all of the material mezzanine loan documents,
true, correct and complete copies of which are attached as Exhibits 1-12 hereto
(the “Proposed Mezzanine Loan
Documents”). The Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents have
been negotiated in anticipation of Lender, subsequent to the Closing Date,
splitting off a portion of the Loan to create, and enter into, a mezzanine
loan
(the “Anticipated Mezzanine Loan”), which Anticipated
Mezzanine Loan: (i) shall be on substantially the same terms as the Loan (to
the
extent applicable to a mezzanine loan) as embodied in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (to the extent applicable to a mezzanine loan), except
that, without limitation, the non-default interest rate applicable to such
Anticipated Mezzanine Loan may be greater than the Interest Rate, so long as
the
weighted non-default interest rate of the Loan and such Anticipated Mezzanine
Loan shall, at the time of the creation of such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan,
equal the Interest Rate; (ii) shall have a maturity date of not earlier than
the
Maturity Date for the Loan; and (iii) shall be made utilizing the Proposed
Mezzanine Loan Documents, together with such other ancillary documents and
deliveries as are customary or necessary in Lender's reasonable judgment and,
to
the extent applicable, are either in substantially the same form as were
executed and delivered in connection with the Loan or are otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Mezzanine Borrower. From and after the consummation, if
ever, of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall
thereafter be referred to herein and in the other Loan Documents as the
“Mezzanine Loan”.
(b) In
connection with the negotiation and consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine
Loan, Borrower shall, and shall cause Mezzanine Borrower to, cooperate with
all
reasonable requests of Lender in order to create the Anticipated Mezzanine
Loan,
including (i) negotiating, executing and delivering loan documents in form
and
substance identical to the Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents, and to the extent
additional documentation is required, in a form substantially similar to the
parallel Loan Document, containing representations, warranties and covenants
substantially identical to those set forth in the Loan Documents or otherwise
reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Borrower, and (ii) causing Mezzanine
Borrower's counsel to deliver such legal opinions as Lender shall reasonably
request, all in form and substance substantially identical to those provided
in
connection with the Loan or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine
Borrower.
(c) Borrower
shall expeditiously and in good faith negotiate, execute and/or deliver, or
cause Mezzanine Borrower to negotiate, execute and/or deliver, any material
agreement, document, title insurance coverage, opinion letter or other item
contemplated by this Section 9.7.1 or otherwise reasonably requested by
Lender in connection with the consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine
Loan.
(d) Until
such time, if ever, as the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall be consummated,
(i)
all references in this Agreement (other than the references made in this
Section 9.7.1) and the other Loan Documents to the Mezzanine Loan, the
Mezzanine Borrower, the Mezzanine Lender, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the
Intercreditor Agreement or any other
-
86 -
terms
related to any thereof, including the Mezzanine Cash Management Account,
Mezzanine Debt, a Mezzanine Default, a Mezzanine Event of Default, the Mezzanine
Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan Outstanding
Principal Balance, and/or the Mezzanine Reserve Funds shall be deemed removed
herefrom and therefrom and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
be
interpreted as though such references do not exist herein or therein, (ii)
Article 11 of this Agreement shall be deemed omitted herefrom, (iii) any
distributions or payments that are payable to Borrower upon the condition that
the Mezzanine Loan has been repaid in full, shall be paid to Borrower, (iv)
the
calculations of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall assume no debt service
is
payable on account of the Mezzanine Loan, and (v) the application of payments
of
principal under Section 2.4.5 shall be made in the same fashion as if the
Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Debt had been paid in full, it being expressly
acknowledged and agreed by Borrower, however, that at all times from and after
the Closing Date, whether or not an Anticipated Mezzanine Loan has been
consummated, the provisions of Section 5.2.10(d)(C) hereof and
Sections 5.2.10(h)(i) and (ii) hereof with respect to Mezzanine
Borrower shall continue to apply.
(e) Upon
the consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, this Agreement shall be
amended to eliminate this Section 9.7.1 and the definitions set forth
herein and, where appropriate, to (i) insert the appropriate amount of the
Loan
and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) insert appropriate dates for the Mezzanine Loan
Documents, (iii) insert appropriate numeric values for the calculations of
the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio, (iv) insert revised definitions of the Mezzanine
Loan and the Intercreditor Agreement, making reference to the actual date of
execution, and (v) make such other changes as are appropriate and consistent
with the consummated Mezzanine Loan.
(f) Borrower
acknowledges that, upon consummation, Lender intends to sell the Mezzanine
Loan,
which sale may occur coincident with the closing of the Mezzanine Loan or at
some time thereafter. In connection with any such sale of the Mezzanine Loan,
Borrower agrees that it shall, and it shall cause Mezzanine Borrower to,
cooperate with all reasonable requests of the purchaser, including agreeing
to
such amendments to the Mezzanine Loan Documents as such purchaser shall request,
so long as such amendments do not increase in more than a de minimis
amount the obligations of Mezzanine Borrower under the Mezzanine Loan Documents
or reduce in more than a de minimis amount the rights of Mezzanine Borrower
under the Mezzanine Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
neither Borrower nor Mezzanine Borrower shall have any obligation to agree
to
any amendment to the Mezzanine Loan Documents that changes the overall economic
terms of the Mezzanine Loan from those existing before any such
amendment.
(g) Borrower’s
failure, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request, to execute and/or
deliver, or to cause Mezzanine Borrower to execute and/or deliver, the Proposed
Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any other agreement, document, opinion, letter
or other item contemplated by this Section 9.7.1 or otherwise reasonably
requested by Lender in connection with the consummation of an Anticipated
Mezzanine Loan, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
9.7.2. Future
Restructuring. Without limiting the generality of Section
9.7.1 hereof and in addition thereto, at any time prior to the
Securitization of the entire Loan, Lender,
-
87 -
without
in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its discretion, shall
have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into
multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior
notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring
may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan or the restructuring
of a portion of the Loan to either the Mezzanine Loan or one or more additional
mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the
owners of the direct and/or indirect equity interests in Borrower, secured
by a
pledge of such interests, and/or the reallocation of a portion of the Mezzanine
Loan to the Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan or the establishment of different
interest rates, floor interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan,
the
Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan, the
Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may
be
designated by Lender; provided that (i) the total amounts of the Loan,
the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans shall equal the amount of the
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to the restructuring and the
economic terms of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans
shall
be the same as the economic terms of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan prior
to
such Restructuring, (ii) except in the case of an Event of Default under, or
prepayment of, the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan,
the
weighted interest rate of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine
Loans, if any, shall, at the time of the restructuring, equal the weighted
average interest rate of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, and (iii) except
in
the case of an Event of Default under, or a prepayment of, the Loan, the
Mezzanine Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan, the debt service payments on
the
Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans shall equal the debt
service payments which would have been payable under the Loan and the Mezzanine
Loan had the restructuring not occurred. Borrower shall cooperate
with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and
the
Mezzanine Loan and create any New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall,
upon
ten (10) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include
the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery,
(A) execute and deliver such documents, including in the case of any New
Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and
security agreement, and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (B) cause
Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (C) create such
bankruptcy remote borrower under each New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the
case
of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably
required by Lender or required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith,
all
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including the severance
of this Agreement, the Mortgage and other Loan Documents if
requested. Borrower’s failure to comply with its obligation under
this Section 9.7 within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt
of notice of such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under this
Agreement.
9.7.3. Multiple
Notes.
(a) Pursuant
to Section 9.1(a) hereof, Lender and Borrower anticipate that subsequent
to the Closing Date Lender may restructure the Loan into Multiple Notes by
obtaining Borrower’s execution of such Multiple Notes and the execution of an
amendment to this Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement
Amendment”). Such Multiple Notes: (i) shall be on
substantially the same terms as the Note executed on the Closing Date, as
governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that, without
limitation, pursuant to such Loan Agreement Amendment, the non-default interest
rate applicable to one or more of the Multiple
-
88 -
Notes
may
be greater than the Interest Rate, so long as the weighted non-default interest
rate of all the Multiple Notes shall, at the time of the creation of such
Multiple Notes, equal the Interest Rate; (ii) shall have a maturity date of
not
earlier than the Maturity Date for the Loan; and (iii) shall be in a form of
Note identical, except as to amount, as the Note, together with such other
ancillary documents and deliveries as are customary or necessary in Lender's
reasonable judgment (including an enforceability opinion from Borrower’s counsel
with respect to the new Multiple Notes and the Loan Agreement Amendment) and,
to
the extent applicable, are either in substantially the same form as were
executed and delivered in connection with the Loan or are otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Borrower. From and after the execution, if ever, of the
Multiple Notes, Lender shall cancel the original Note and return it to
Borrower.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 9.1(a) hereof to the contrary, and without
limiting the provisions of this Section 9.7.3, Borrower covenants and
agrees that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall
have the right to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the
amortization and principal balances of each of the Multiple Notes and to require
the payment of the Multiple Notes in such order of priority as may be designated
by Lender; provided, however, that (i) the weighted average
interest rate of the Multiple Notes following any such reallocation or
modification shall not be changed from the weighted average interest rate in
effect immediately preceding such reallocation or modification, and (ii) the
principal balances of each of the Multiple Notes following any such reallocation
or modification shall equal the amount of the Outstanding Principal Balance
of
the Loan immediately prior to such reallocation or
modification. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Lender
has expressly reserved the right to repay the principal amount of the Multiple
Notes in a disproportionate manner reflecting the relative priority, if any,
of
such Multiple Notes on account of prepayments of principal (i) occurring upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) made
from Net Proceeds, or (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an
Event of Default, made from the application of Reserve Funds, Rents, all as
contemplated under Section 2.4.3 hereof; and as a result thereof the
weighted average interest rate of the Loan may be changed.
(c) Borrower
shall expeditiously and in good faith negotiate, execute and/or deliver, any
material agreement, document, title insurance coverage, opinion letter or other
item contemplated by this Section 9.7.3, or otherwise reasonably
requested by Lender in connection with the consummation of the Multiple
Notes.
(d) Borrower
acknowledges that, upon execution, Lender intends to sell one or more of the
Multiple Notes, which sale may occur coincident with the execution of the
Multiple Notes or at some time thereafter. In connection with any such sale
of
one or more of the Multiple Notes, Borrower agrees that it shall cooperate
with
all reasonable requests of the purchaser, including agreeing to such amendments
to the Loan Documents as such purchaser shall request, so long as such
amendments do not increase in more than a de minimis amount the
obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or reduce in more than a de
minimis amount the rights of Borrower under the Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not have any
obligation to agree to any amendment to the Multiple Notes that changes the
overall economic terms of the Loan from those existing before any such
amendment.

(e) Borrower’s
failure, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request, to execute and/or
deliver the Multiple Notes, the Loan Agreement Amendment and/or any other
agreement, document, opinion, letter or other item contemplated by this
Section 9.7.3 or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection
with the consummation of the Multiple Notes, shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder.
9.7.4. Costs
and Expenses. Except as may be required in connection with a
Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, Borrower shall not be
obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
any
restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.7, but Borrower shall be
responsible for its own legal fees and other associated expenses.

are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute
a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section
10.9. 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
10.10. Preferences. 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 or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds
or any part thereof are 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
Obligations hereunder 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.
Section
10.11. Waiver
of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be
entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect
to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically

with
respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal
Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section
10.12. Remedies
of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made
that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting
in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably
or
promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable
for
any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to
commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory
judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to
determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action
seeking declaratory judgment.
Section
10.13. Expenses;
Indemnity.
(a) Borrower
covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender
upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in
connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of
this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions
by
counsel for Borrower (including any opinions reasonably requested by Lender
as
to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
with respect to the Property); (ii) except as expressly provided under the
terms
of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower’s ongoing performance of
and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in
this Agreement and the other
-
94 -
Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date,
including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements;
(iii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all
agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date;
(iv) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement and/or
the
other Loan Documents, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications
to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters
requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents ;
(vi)
the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable
fees
and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions,
and
other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor
of
Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing
or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in
prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each
case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii)
enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or
in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency
or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall
not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent
the
same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first
occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to the
Property. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid
from any amounts in the Lockbox Account.
(b) Borrower
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all
other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for
Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated
a
party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender
in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its
Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained
in,
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use
of
the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall
not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified
Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first
occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to the
Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because
it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion
that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment
and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Except
as expressly set forth herein, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or,
if
Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable fees and expenses
incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of
the
Loan, the
-
95 -
Loan
Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval,
waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall
be
entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent
to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or
confirmation.
Section
10.14. Schedules
and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed
hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the
same
effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section
10.15. Offsets,
Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in
and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the
same
free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated
to
such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such
documents, and no such unrelated 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 unrelated
offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby
expressly waived by Borrower.
Section
10.16. No
Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower
and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein
or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership,
tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender
nor
to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee,
beneficiary or lender.
(b) This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender
and
Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right
to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the
obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing
to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or any disbursement
of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof
and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary
of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in
part
by Lender if Lender determines it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section
10.17. Publicity. All
news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through
any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan
Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or to
any
of its Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of
Lender.
Section
10.18. Waiver
of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a
marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with
interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or
-
96 -
to
a sale
in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage,
and
agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling
of
assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a
sale
of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different
resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt
out
of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant
whatsoever.
Section
10.19. Waiver
of Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a
counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding
brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section
10.20. Conflict;
Construction of Documents; Reliance. 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 they were represented by competent counsel in connection with
the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such
Loan
Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that,
with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and
advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent,
subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any
limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to
it
under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which
govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary
or
Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower,
and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take
any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of
any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender
engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate
transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section
10.21. Brokers
and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has
dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents,
agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any
way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted
on
behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the
expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Debt.
Section
10.22. Prior
Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among
or
between such parties, whether oral or written, including the “Application
Letter” dated February 28, 2007, between Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P. and
Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.

Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the
right to routinely consult with and advise 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 and upon reasonable advance notice
(which may be given verbally);
(b) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books
and
records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice (which may

and

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).
The
rights described above in this Section 10.23 may be exercised by any entity
which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the
interests in Lender.

to obtain from Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to

status of the Mezzanine Loan and compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the

of the Mezzanine Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by
Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mezzanine Lender is not
legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to
deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates
but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this
provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Borrower
and Mezzanine Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information
requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine Loan and the
compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan
Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions,
or
causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including
reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is
brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against
Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or
circumstances relating to the Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any
material respect by Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted
from such estoppel executed by Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower.
Section
11.3. Reserve
Funds. Borrower and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (a) all of the
Obligations have been satisfied, (b) there is any amount remaining in the
Reserve Funds, and (c) the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is
outstanding, then Lender will not pay any such remaining amount in the Reserve
Funds to Borrower, but rather shall deliver such amount to Mezzanine Lender
to
be held in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan
Documents.
Section
11.4. Intercreditor
Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any
intercreditor agreement entered into between Lender and Mezzanine Lender, will
be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mezzanine Lender, and that neither
Borrower nor Mezzanine Borrower shall be intended third-party beneficiaries
of
any of the provisions therein, shall have no rights thereunder and shall not
be
entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender
and Mezzanine Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the
contents of the intercreditor agreement. Borrower’s obligations
hereunder are and will be independent of such intercreditor agreement and shall
remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
