2.2.3

Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month (the “Accrual Period”). For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Accrual Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding
-29-
Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of (i) in the event of a non-monetary default, the cure of such Event of Default by Borrower, and (ii) in the event of a monetary default, the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default and Lender retains its rights under the Note and this Agreement to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default.

If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal
-30-
Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to enter into Leases or modify existing Leases demising a portion of any Individual Property less than or equal to the Relevant Leasing Threshold without Lender’s prior written approval provided such Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, and further provided that such Leases shall provide that (x) they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable Individual Property, (y) the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Mortgage Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale, and (z) the tenant shall deliver all Rents payable thereunder directly to the Lockbox Account (or, such Lease is accompanied by a Tenant Direction Letter countersigned by the tenant and the applicable Individual Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, directing such tenant to deliver all Rents payable thereunder directly to the Lockbox Account).
(b)
Borrower will not permit Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner to enter into a Lease or modify an existing Lease covering all or substantially all of any Individual Property without the prior written approval of Lender, which approval may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUESTED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS. LENDER’S FAILURE TO RESPOND WITHIN SUCH TIME PERIOD WILL ENABLE BORROWER TO DELIVER A SECOND NOTICE REQUESTING LENDER’S CONSENT”.

(f)
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to (i) observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that, subject to the terms of this Section 5.1.20, no termination by Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted without the written consent of Lender which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; (iii) not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Documents); (v) not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (vi) 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 the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and/or Maryland Owner’s financial condition, the value of the applicable Individual Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the Closing Date, or any Lease executed after the Closing Date (to a
-62-
Lessee that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner) for which Lender’s approval was not required or was given, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the Restoration of an Individual Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (d) any alteration which costs less than both (i) the Threshold Amount (in the aggregate for all current alterations at the related Individual Property), and (ii) together with all other alterations currently being performed at the Properties, the Aggregate Threshold Amount, provided that, in all of the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), Borrower causes Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, to comply with the Alteration Conditions. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at any Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower, upon Lender’s request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such total unpaid amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) 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, or (D) a completion bond or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is 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 class thereof in connection with any Securitization. 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 applicable Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations work and use the deposit to restore the applicable Individual Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of such Individual Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to deposit such security, provided that (1) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does deposit such security under the Mortgage Loan, (2) Senior Mezzanine Borrower is required to and does deposit such security under the Senior Mezzanine Loan and (3) Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of the deposit of such security with Mortgage Lender or with Senior Mezzanine Lender.

If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after five (5) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion 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 Collateral and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owing to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgages. The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s and Maryland Owner’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner makes or any claim that is made against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner in connection with any Individual Property.

Section 7.1
Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to perform the Required Repairs (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement), in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
Section 7.2
Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund.
Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender
-80-
sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”). The Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and all other payments due hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgages. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund, 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) or from Borrower 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; provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts to which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund. The Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase their 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 or Insurance Premiums. Any Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums into the Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund so long as (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) Borrower has provided Lender with satisfactory evidence (as determined by Lender) that each Individual Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy covering substantially all real property owned directly or indirectly by Indemnitor, including, without limitation, the Properties.
7.2.1
. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Reserve Fund under Section 7.2 above, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is in compliance with Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or Senior Mezzanine Borrower in compliance with Section 7.2 of the Senior Mezzanine Loan

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”. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account at any given time shall not exceed Two Million Six Hundred Seventeen Thousand Three Hundred Two and No/100 Dollars ($2,617,302.00) in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, 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 Properties.
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 an Individual Property, replacement of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund or the Rollover Reserve Fund.
(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(e)) as determined by Lender.

In the case of 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 $100,000 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 applicable Individual 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)

(b)
Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 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, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to 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 such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to grant Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants. 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 Pledge Agreement. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such 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 but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.

Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any 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 any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f)
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner to 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 each Individual 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 each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower and Maryland Owner 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 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g)
Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 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 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, materialmen’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 applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or
-85-
materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to such Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j)
All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual 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 or any Ground Lease, 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

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; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. 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 any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

(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.

7.3.6
Indemnification. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and

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.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)
With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, 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 interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
-94-
(c)
Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion 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 following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3
Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
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 in Lender’s sole discretion. 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.

In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Collateral as provided for in this Section 9.1.5, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to amount of the New Note applicable to such Affected Collateral and the new loan secured by such Affected Collateral and evidenced by the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Allocated Loan Amount. Subsequent to the release of the Affected Collateral from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section 9.1.5, the balances of the components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount of the Affected Collateral. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall otherwise cooperate with Lender in its attempt to satisfy all requirements necessary in order for Lender to obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Collateral from the Securitization and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, which requirements shall include, without limitation: (A) delivery of evidence that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower owning an Individual Property other than the Affected Collateral following such release have not been adversely affected and are in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which evidence may include a “bring-down” of the Insolvency Opinion); and (B) the execution of such documents and instruments and delivery by Lender of such opinions of counsel as are typical for similar transactions, including, an opinion of counsel that the release of the Affected Collateral will not be a “significant modification” of this Loan within the meaning of Section 1.860G2(b) of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and that all other requirements applicable, if any, to a REMIC Trust, have been satisfied or have not otherwise been violated.
9.1.6

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 actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.

(viii)
any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to any Individual Property which are not delivered to Mortgage Lender upon a foreclosure of such Individual 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; and
(ix)
any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Section 4 of the Pledge Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) 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 Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Pledge Agreement or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event of: (1) the first full monthly payment under the Note not being paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), (2) the failure of Borrower to cause Maryland Owner or any Individual Mortgage Borrower to permit on-site inspections of any Individual Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, (3) the failure of Borrower to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Maryland Owner or the applicable Individual Mortgage Borrower, provided Maryland Owner or such Individual Mortgage Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), (4) the failure of any of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Maryland Owner, Senior Mezzanine Borrower or Principal to maintain its respective status as a Single Purpose Entity or the breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof, Section 4.1.30 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or Section 4.1.30 of the Senior Mezzanine Loan Agreement, as applicable, (5) Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Principal, any Individual Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (6) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against any Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Maryland Owner from any Person; (7) Borrower, Senior Mezzanine Borrower, any Individual Mortgage Borrower, Principal

Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (1), (2), (3), (10) or (11) above (which Lender is not obligated to accept and may reject or accept in its sole and absolute discretion), the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger.
Section 9.5
Termination of Manager.
If (a) an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured, (b) Manager shall become subject to a Bankruptcy Action, (c) Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, (d) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, as determined by Lender, shall be less than 1.05 to 1.00 based on the trailing twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the date of such determination, provided that such Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not less than 1.05 to 1.00 by reason of Market Conditions, or (e) Manager is not managing the related Individual Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the related Individual Property, then, in the case of (a), (b), (c), (d) or (e), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, cause Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner, as applicable, to terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager with a Qualifying Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such Qualifying Manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.
Section 9.6
Servicer.
At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, servicer, special servicer/trustee (any such master servicer, servicer, special servicer/trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “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 and/or a special servicing agreement (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer
-107-
under the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay (i) any liquidation fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any workout fees or special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, which fees shall be due and payable by Borrower on a periodic or continuing basis in accordance with the Servicing Agreement, and (iii) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties and/or Collateral (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) required under the Servicing Agreement or that a Servicer may otherwise require under the Servicing Agreement (other than the cost of annual inspections to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement). Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Servicer proposes to transfer the servicing of the Loan to a Servicer that is a special servicer based on Servicer’s judgment that a Default in the payment of Debt Service is reasonably foreseeable, Servicer shall use good faith efforts to consult with Borrower before transferring the servicing of the Loan, except in those instances in which Servicer determines in its sole discretion that the failure to so transfer the servicing of the Loan would materially and adversely affect the holders of the Securities of the Loan or the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower acknowledge and agree that any such consultation shall be conducted on a non-binding basis and any decision by Servicer to transfer the Loan to a special servicer shall be final and binding on, and shall not be subject to challenge by, Borrower.
Section 9.7
Splitting the Loan.
At the election of Lender in its sole discretion or in connection with a repurchase by Lender of any portion of the Loan under the operative documents for any Securitization, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as requested by Lender, (a) additional executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its sole discretion. Borrower hereby agrees to be responsible for all third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.

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 Collateral, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, 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 Collateral 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 Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any part of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any part of the Collateral or any combination of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral or combination of Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

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.

-116-
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
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the final and entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements or understandings among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties hereto or thereto.

Section 10.24
Section 10.25
Certain 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;
(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;
(c )
the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
(d)
the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Mortgage Borrower or Maryland Owner of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of any Individual Property).
The rights described above in this Section 10.25 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
-117-
Section 10.26
(a)
On or prior to the Closing Date, the holders of each Note (each, a “Co-Lender”) shall designate either a single Co-Lender or the Servicer to act on behalf of all such Persons holding an interest in the Loan (the “Mezzanine Lender Agent”). The Mezzanine Lender Agent shall have the sole right to receive any notices which are required to be given or which may be given to the Lender pursuant to this Agreement and to exercise any approval rights and powers given to the Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, for the avoidance of doubt, all other rights of Lender under this Agreement including, without limitation, the exercise of Lender’s remedies under this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, may be exercised by one or more Co-Lenders and/or Servicer as the Co-Lenders may elect in their sole discretion. Once a Mezzanine Lender Agent has been designated hereunder with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such designation until it has received written notice from a Co-Lender or the servicer of a different Person to act as the Mezzanine Lender Agent for Loan.
(b)
Following the Closing Date (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) neither Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of the other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective ratable share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for principal and interest payments, payment of prepayment fees, exits fees, default interest or any other amounts due hereunder, including costs, expenses, damages or advances each as set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its ratable share.
Section 10.27
The Servicer (or in the case of participants, the applicable Lender), as non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a record that identifies each owner (including successors, assignees, and participants) of an interest in the Loan, including the name and address of the owner, and each owner's rights to principal and stated interest (the “Register”), and shall record all transfers of an interest in the Loan, including each assignment and participation, in the Register. Servicer (or in the case of participants, the applicable Lender) as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, will update the Register to reflect a transfer. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Lenders and the Servicer may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The parties intend for the Loan to be in registered form for tax purposes and to the extent of any conflict with this Section 10.27, this Section 10.27 shall be construed in accordance with that intent.
