of the Note may be voluntarily prepaid in whole, but not in part, upon the satisfaction of the
following conditions:
(i) not less than thirty (30) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice
shall be given to Lender specifying a date on which the prepayment shall occur (the
“Prepayment Date”);
(ii) Borrower has paid to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan through
and including the Prepayment Date together with all other sums due under this Note and the
other Loan Documents; and
(iii) Borrower has paid to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to (A) if
such prepayment occurs at any time during the period from the date the Lockout Period
expires through and including the date of the second anniversary of the date hereof (“Second
Anniversary Date”), one and one half percent (1.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan being prepaid, (B) if such prepayment occurs at any time during the period after
the Second Anniversary Date through and including the date of the third anniversary of the
date hereof (“Third Anniversary Date”), one percent (1.0%) of
-16-
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid, (C) if such prepayment
occurs at any time during the period after the Third Anniversary Date through and including
the date of the fourth anniversary of the date hereof (“Fourth Anniversary Date”), one half
of one percent (0.5%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid, or (D)
if such prepayment occurs at any time after the Fourth Anniversary Date, zero percent (0.0%)
of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid.
(b) Involuntary Prepayment. In the event of any involuntary prepayment of the Loan or
any other amount under the Note, whether in whole or in part, in connection with or following
Lender’s acceleration of the Note or otherwise, and whether the Mortgage is satisfied or released
by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by
any other means, including, without limitation, repayment of the Loan by Borrower or any other
Person pursuant to any statutory or common law right of redemption, Borrower shall, in addition to
any portion of the principal balance of the Loan prepaid (together with all interest accrued and
unpaid thereon), pay to Lender a prepayment premium in an amount equal to the greater of (i) Yield
Maintenance and (ii) (A) if such involuntary prepayment occurs during the Lockout Period, an amount
equal to two percent (2%) of the portion of the Loan being prepaid, (B) if such involuntary
prepayment occurs during the period from the date the Lockout Period expires through and including
the Second Anniversary Date, one and one half percent (1.5%) of the portion of the Loan being
prepaid, (C) if such involuntary prepayment occurs during the period after the Second Anniversary
Date through and including the Third Anniversary Date, one percent (1%) of the portion of the Loan
being prepaid, (D) if such involuntary prepayment occurs during the period after the Third
Anniversary Date through and including the Fourth Anniversary Date, one half of one percent (0.5%)
of the portion of the Loan being prepaid or (E) if such prepayment occurs at any time after the
Fourth Anniversary Date, zero percent (0.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being
prepaid. Commencing on the date which is one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Maturity Date,
no prepayment premium will be due in connection with an involuntary prepayment of the Loan or any
other amount under the Note. As used herein, “Yield Maintenance” means a prepayment premium in an
amount equal to the present value as of the Prepayment Calculation Date of a series of monthly
payments over the remaining term of the Loan each equal to the amount of interest which would be
due on the portion of the Loan being prepaid assuming a per annum interest rate equal to the
excess, if any, of the Note Rate over the Reinvestment Yield, and discounted at the Reinvestment
Yield. As used herein, “Reinvestment Yield” means the yield calculated by the linear interpolation
of the yields, as reported in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15-Selected Interest Rates
under the heading “U.S. government securities” and the sub-heading “Treasury constant maturities”
for the week ending prior to the Prepayment Calculation Date, of the U.S. Treasury constant
maturities with maturity dates (one longer and one equal to or shorter) most nearly approximating
the Maturity Date, and converted to a monthly compounded nominal yield. In the event Release H.15
is no longer published, Lender shall select a comparable publication to determine the Reinvestment
Yield. The “Prepayment Calculation Date” shall mean, as applicable, the date on which (i) Lender
applies any prepayment to the reduction of the outstanding principal amount of this Note, (ii)
Lender accelerates the Loan, in the case of a prepayment resulting from acceleration, or (iii)
Lender applies funds held under any Reserve Account, in the case of a prepayment resulting from
such an application (other than in connection with acceleration of the Loan).
-17-
(c) Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds; Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein to the contrary, and provided no Default then is continuing, Borrower shall not be
required to pay any prepayment premium in connection with any prepayment occurring as a result of
(i) the application of Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds pursuant to the terms of the
Loan Documents, (ii) the application of any interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law to the reduction of the Loan or (iii) the prepayment in full of the Loan at any time
with one hundred eighty (180) days following any election by Lender to apply any Insurance Proceeds
or Condemnation Proceeds in partial prepayment of the Loan.
(d) Open Prepayment Period. Commencing on the Fourth Anniversary Date, upon giving
Lender at least thirty (30) days (but not more than ninety (90) days) prior written notice,
Borrower may voluntarily prepay (without premium) the Note in whole (but not in part).
(e) Limitation on Partial Prepayments. In no event shall Lender have any obligation
to accept a partial prepayment.
Section 2.5. Payments after Default
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest on the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of
the Loan, (a) shall accrue at the Default Rate, and (b) Lender shall be entitled to receive and
Borrower shall pay to Lender all cash flow from the Individual Properties, such amount to be
applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such order as Lender shall determine in its sole
discretion, including, without limitation, alternating applications thereof between interest and
principal. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of
Default until the earlier of (i) the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion
thereof that is then due) and (ii) the cure of such Event of Default. 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 Mortgage. 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; the acceptance of any payment from Borrower shall not be deemed to cure or constitute a
waiver of any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under this Agreement to accelerate
and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening of any Event of Default, despite
any payment by Borrower to Lender.
Section 2.6. Usury Savings
This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall
Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate
which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of
the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower
is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a
rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Note 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
-18-
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.

Section 4.11. Enforceability
The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or

unenforceable, and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto. No Default or Event of Default exists under or with
respect to any Loan Document.
Section 4.12. Business Purposes

Individual Properties or the current and/or intended operation thereof, except as referred to or

been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or
Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.

Section 4.19. Insurance
Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certified copies of all Policies or, to the
extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, certificates of insurance with
respect to all such Policies reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set

knowledge after due inquiry, there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the
Individual Properties, as a result of a Casualty or otherwise, and whether latent or otherwise.
Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or
inadequacies in the Individual Properties, 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 bond. Borrower represents
and warrants that, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there has been no material adverse change
in any condition, fact, circumstance or event since the date of the Physical Conditions Report that
would make any information contained in the Physical Conditions Report inaccurate, incomplete or
otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise materially and adversely affects or
might materially and adversely affect the physical condition of the Individual Properties.

-32-
restrictions (type, location or exclusivity), sale of certain goods or services, and/or other

Section 5.1. Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements
(a) 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

agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording any Governmental
Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Individual Properties or any part thereof or any
monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan
-34-
Documents. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and
trade names used in connection with the operation of the Individual Properties.
(b) After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by

or Event of Default (which has not been expressly waived by Lender in writing in its sole
discretion) has occurred; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in
accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or the Individual

Borrower shall be affected in any material adverse way as a result of such proceeding; (iv)
non-compliance with the Legal Requirements shall not impose civil or criminal liability on Borrower
or Lender; (v) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding or
by Lender to ensure compliance by Borrower with the Legal Requirements; and (vi) Borrower shall
have furnished to Lender all other items reasonably requested by Lender.

with past practices and otherwise consistent with the first-class quality of the Individual
Properties. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or other
than in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.21, materially altered (except for normal
replacement of the Personal Property) without the prior written consent of Lender. If under
applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Individual Properties is or shall
become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be
discontinued or the nonconforming Improvement to be abandoned without the express written consent
of Lender.
Section 5.3. Waste
Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Individual Properties or make any change
in the use of the Individual Properties which will in any way materially increase the risk of fire
or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Individual Properties, or take any action that

anything that may in any way impair the value of the Individual Properties or the security for the
Loan. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or
exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the
subsurface of the Individual Properties, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or
extraction thereof.

(a) Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or
imposed against the Individual Properties or any part thereof prior to delinquency; provided,

complies with the terms and provisions of Section 9.4 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Lender
receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges showing that Taxes and Other Charges
were paid prior to delinquency (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such
receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to

any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Individual
Properties, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Individual Properties.

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 (i) no Default or Event of Default

accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all

under protest). 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 judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such
claimant is established or the Individual Properties (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be
in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any danger of
the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.

proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower which might materially adversely
affect Borrower’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Individual Properties.

appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Individual
Properties or any part thereof) out of such Awards or Insurance Proceeds.

sole discretion), Borrower and Guarantor shall furnish Lender with annual audited balance
sheets, profit and loss statements, statements of cash flows, and statements of change in

all Leases which are entered into pursuant to this subsection together with Borrower’s
certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this Section. No Lease shall include,
or includes as of the date hereof, any free rent or “takeover” rent provisions except as set forth
on Schedule I attached hereof.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all the obligations imposed upon the landlord under
the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of any of the Leases
as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which
Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants
and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or
performed; (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (except

any assignment of or subletting under any Leases not in accordance with their terms, without the
prior written consent of Lender; and (vii) shall maintain an appropriate type of tenant mix which

provisions of any Lease or terminate, reduce Rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or
shorten the term of, any Lease (including any guaranty, letter of credit or other credit support
with respect thereto) provided that such action (taking into account, in the case of a termination,
reduction in rent, surrender of space or shortening of term, the planned alternative use of the
affected space) does not have a materially adverse effect on the value of the Individual Properties
taken as a whole, and provided that such Lease, as amended, modified or waived, is otherwise in
compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and any subordination agreement binding upon
Lender with respect to such Lease. A termination of a Lease with a tenant who is in default beyond
applicable notice and grace periods shall not be considered an action which has a materially
adverse effect on the value of the Individual Properties taken as a whole. Any amendment,
modification, waiver, termination, rent reduction, space surrender or term shortening which does
not satisfy the requirements set forth in this subsection shall be subject to the prior approval of
Lender, at Borrower’s expense. Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender copies of amendments,

Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of this subsection.

pursuant to this subsection, such Manager shall be a Qualified Manager, it being understood and
agreed that at all times the management fee shall be subordinate to the Loan and not exceed then
prevailing market rates (or, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, not exceed three percent
(3%) of gross revenues at the Individual Properties), and Borrower shall cause such manager to

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 Lender in its sole
discretion, that (i) Borrower is not and does not maintain an “employee benefit plan” as defined in

partnership, or the managing member in the case of a limited liability company (each an “SPE
Component Entity”) of Borrower, as applicable, shall be a corporation whose sole asset is its

extent Borrower is a springing member Delaware limited liability company acceptable to Lender, so
long as Borrower maintains such formation status, no SPE Component Entity shall be required.
(c) In the event a Borrower is a single member Delaware limited liability company, the limited
liability company agreement of Borrower (the “LLC Agreement”) shall provide that (i) upon the
occurrence of any event that causes the sole member of such Borrower (“Member”) to cease to be the
member of such Borrower (other than (A) upon an assignment by Member of all of its limited
liability company interest in Borrower and the admission of the transferee in accordance with the
Loan Documents and the LLC Agreement, or (B) the resignation of Member and the admission of an
additional member of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and the LLC
Agreement), any person acting as Independent Director of such Borrower shall, without any action of

automatically be admitted to such Borrower (“Special Member”) and shall continue such Borrower
without dissolution and (ii) Special
-46-
Member may not resign from such Borrower or transfer its rights as Special Member unless (A) a
successor Special Member has been admitted to such Borrower as Special Member in accordance with
requirements of Delaware law and (B) such successor Special Member has also accepted its
appointment as an Independent Director. The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special
Member shall automatically cease to be a member of such Borrower upon the admission to such

(v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as
Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or
matter relating to, such Borrower, including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or
conversion of such Borrower; provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of
Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the
Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to such Borrower of
Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its
admission to such Borrower as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of such
Borrower.
Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of such
Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall,
within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership
of Member in such Borrower, agree in writing (i) to continue such Borrower and (ii) to the
admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a
substitute member of such Borrower, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the
continued membership of Member of such Borrower in such Borrower. Any action initiated by or
brought against Member or Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws shall not cause Member or
Special Member to cease to be a member of such Borrower and upon the occurrence of such an event,
the business of such Borrower shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide
that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to
dissolve Borrower upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or
Special Member under any Creditors Rights Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or
Special Member to cease to be a member of such Borrower.

first page of this Agreement, (d) the corporate, partnership or other organizational structure of
Borrower, each SPE Component Entity (if any), or Guarantor, (e) Borrower’s state of organization,
or (f) Borrower’s organizational identification number, without in each case notifying Lender of
such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in
the case of a change in Borrower’s structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of
Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any
-47-
organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would
adversely impact the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower
authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or financing statement amendment required by
Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest
granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form
satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the
Individual Properties, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other
trade name with respect to the Individual Properties. If Borrower does not now have an
organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification
number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such
organizational identification number or change.
Section 6.3. Business and Operations
Each Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of
the State as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and
operation of the applicable Individual Property.
Section 6.4. Independent Director
(a) The organizational documents of each SPE Component Entity (if any) or, if Borrower is a
Delaware single member limited liability company, Borrower, as applicable, shall provide that at
all times there shall be, and Borrower shall cause there to be, at least one duly appointed member
of the board of directors or one manager, as applicable (each an “Independent Director”) of such
SPE Component Entity or Borrower, as applicable, reasonably satisfactory to Lender each of whom are
not at the time of such individual’s initial appointment, and shall not have been at any time
during the preceding five (5) years, and shall not be at any time while serving as a director or
manager, as applicable, of such SPE Component Entity or Borrower, as applicable, either (i) a
stockholder, director (with the exception of serving as an Independent Director of the SPE
Component Entity or Borrower, as applicable), officer, trustee, employee, partner, member (with
exception of serving as a Special Member), attorney or counsel of Borrower, any SPE Component
Entity, or any Affiliate of either of them; (ii) a creditor, customer, supplier, or other person
who derives any of its purchases or revenues from its activities with any SPE Component Entity,
Borrower or any Affiliate of either of them; (iii) a Person controlling or under common control
with any Person excluded from serving as Independent Director under (i) or (ii); or (iv) a member
of the immediate family by blood or marriage of any Person excluded from serving as Independent
Director under (i) or (ii). A natural person who satisfies the foregoing definition other than
subparagraph (ii) shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Director of the Borrower
if such individual is an Independent Director provided by a nationally-recognized company that
provides professional independent director (a “Professional Independent Director”) and other
corporate services in the ordinary course of its business. A natural person who otherwise
satisfies the foregoing definition other than subparagraph (i) by reason of being the independent
manager of a “special purpose entity” affiliated with the Borrower shall not be disqualified from
serving as an Independent Director of the Borrower if such individual is either (i) a Professional
Independent Director or (ii) the fees that such individual earns from serving as independent
manager of affiliates of the Borrower in any given year constitute in the aggregate less than five
percent
-48-
(5%) of such individual’s annual income for that year. For purposes of this paragraph, a
“special purpose entity” is an entity, whose organizational documents contain restrictions on its
activities and impose requirements intended to preserve such entity’s separateness that are
substantially similar to those special purpose provisions contained in Section 6.1 of this
Agreement.
(b) The organizational documents of each SPE Component Entity (if any) or, if Borrower is a
Delaware single member limited liability company, Borrower, as applicable, shall provide that the
board of directors of such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (if a member-managed springing member
Delaware limited liability company), as applicable, shall not take any action which, under the
terms of any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to
any common stock, requires an unanimous vote of the board of directors of such SPE Component Entity
or of Borrower (if a member-managed springing member Delaware limited liability company), as
applicable, unless at the time of such action there shall be at least one member of the board of
directors or one manager who is an Independent Director. Such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (if
a member-managed, springing member Delaware limited liability company), as applicable, will not,
without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors including each Independent Director
or manager, as applicable, on behalf of itself or Borrower, (i) file or consent to the filing of
any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable Creditors Rights
Laws; (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official;
(iii) take any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent; or (iv) make an assignment
for the benefit of creditors.

Level Pledge (other than such Parent Level Pledges in effect on the date of this Agreement), Lender
shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 7.3, (a) no such pledges or transfers, as applicable, shall
result in a change in Control in the Guarantor or any Affiliated Manager or change in Control of
the day-to-day operation of Individual Properties, (b) after giving effect to any such pledges or
transfers, as applicable, Guarantor must continue to (i) own, directly or indirectly, at least a
fifty-one percent (51%) interest in the Borrower and any SPE Component Entity, (ii) Control the
Borrower and any SPE Component Entity and (iii) Control the day-to-day operation of the Individual
Properties, (c) after giving effect to any such pledges or transfers, as applicable, the Individual
Properties shall continue to be managed by a Qualified Manager and (d) in the case of a pledge or
transfer, as applicable, of any direct ownership
-50-
interest in Borrower or any SPE Component Entity, such pledges or transfers, as applicable
must at all times comply with the “special purpose entity” requirements in Section 6.1 hereof. The
term “
Parent Level Pledge” as used herein shall mean (i) the pledge or grant of a security interest
in any Person’s direct or indirect equity interest(s) in a Restricted Party and/or (ii) the pledge
of rights by any of Borrower’s constituent Persons to distributable cash flow from Borrower to such
constituent Persons and/or (iii) any transfer in connection with subsection (i) hereinabove by
reason of exercise of remedies, in each case, to secure Guarantor’s General Corporate Borrowings.
The term “
Guarantor’s General Corporate Borrowings” as used herein shall mean any operating debt
facility of Guarantor for an amount of $500,000,000.00 or more (now or hereafter existing, as same
may be supplemented, amended, extended, or renewed from time to time) (a) which is at all times
secured by direct or indirect pledges of ownership interests or distributable cash flow (as
applicable) in such number of entities (directly or indirectly owned by Guarantor and having
interests in individual properties) sufficient to satisfy the Approved Borrowing Base Requirements
of such operating debt facility and (b) for which the holder of such pledge is a major financial
institution (including any entity that is an “accredited investor” pursuant to Regulation D under
the Securities Act) with significant lending or operating real estate experience involving
properties similar to the Property or other regional shopping centers similar to the Property. The
term “
Approved Borrowing Base Requirements” as used herein shall mean: (i) the borrowing base
requirements as determined pursuant to Article IIA and pursuant to Subsections 6.18(ix), (x) and
(xi) of Guarantor’s existing secured credit facility (to wit, that certain First Amended And
Restated Secured
Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 29, 2005, as heretofore amended) in the
amount of $800,000,000.00 with KeyBank, National Association, as administrative agent and the
lending institutions party thereto (the “
KeyBank Borrowing Base Requirements”), or (ii) alternative
borrowing base requirements substantially similar in all material respects to the KeyBank Borrowing
Base Requirements.
Section 7.4. Lender’s Rights
Lender reserves the right to condition the consent to a Prohibited Transfer requested
hereunder upon (a) a modification of the terms hereof and an assumption of the Note and the other
Loan Documents as so modified by the proposed Prohibited Transfer, (b) the proposed transferee’s
continued compliance with the covenants set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation,
the covenants in Article 6) and the other Loan Documents, (c) a new manager for the Individual
Properties and a new management agreement satisfactory to Lender, and (d) the satisfaction of such
other conditions and/or legal opinions as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion to be in
the interest of Lender. All expenses incurred by Lender shall be payable by Borrower whether or
not Lender consents to the Prohibited Transfer. 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 Prohibited Transfer made without Lender’s consent. This
provision shall apply to each and every Prohibited Transfer, whether or not Lender has consented to
any previous Prohibited Transfer.
Section 7.5. Release on Substitution of Properties
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.5 and no more than one (1)
time with respect to the New Jersey Property and Georgia Property, respectively, during
-51-
the term of the Loan, the applicable Borrower, as the case may be, may obtain and Lender shall
provide (i) the release of the New Jersey Property and Georgia Property, as the case may be (in
each instance, the “Released Property”) from the lien or security title of the respective Mortgage
thereon (and related Loan Documents) and (ii) the release of the respective Borrower’s obligations
under the Loan Documents with respect to such Released Property (other than those obligations
expressly stated to survive), by simultaneously substituting one Permitted Substitution Property
or, pursuant to Section 7.5(b), up to two Permitted Substitution Properties (each, a “Substitute
Property” and collectively the “Substitute Properties”) for the Released Property. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at no time during the term of the Loan shall the Individual Properties comprise of
more than two individual properties (or, pursuant to Section 7.5(b), up to three individual
properties). The applicable Borrower, as the case may be, may make a written application to Lender
for Lender’s consent to any such substitution (a “Substitution”) in accordance with Section
7.5(a)(i) below. Lender’s consent and cooperation shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any
Substitution consented to by Lender shall be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of the
following conditions precedent:
(i) Borrower shall request such Substitution by written notice to Lender given at least
ninety (90) days prior to the date on which the Substitution is to occur (the “Substitution
Date”);
(ii) Borrower shall have provided to Lender all industry standard property due
diligence material similar to the due diligence material provided to Lender in connection
with the origination of the Loan (e.g., title, survey, leases, engineering report,
environmental report) with respect to each Substitute Property at least forty-five (45) days
before the Substitution Date, and such due diligence material must be satisfactory to
Lender;
(iii) Lender shall have received tenant estoppel letters, each substantially in
Lender’s standard form, from such Tenants at the Substitute Property as may be reasonably
required by Lender;
(iv) Lender shall have received subordination, non-disturbance and attornment
agreements, each substantially in Lender’s standard form (or such other form required by any
applicable lease provided the same would be satisfactory to Lender), from such Tenants at
the Substitute Property as may be reasonably required by Lender;
(v) after giving effect to the Substitution, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for all of
the Individual Properties (including the Substitution Properties) shall be no less than 1.4
to 1.0 based on the preceding six month period and annualized;
(vi) after giving effect to the Substitution, the loan-to-value ratio for all of the
Individual Properties (including the Substitution Properties) shall be no greater than fifty
percent (50%) based on the “as is where is values” of the Individual Properties (including
the Substitution Properties) as shown in current MAI appraisals dated within forty-five (45)
days of the Substitution Date in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;
-52-
(vii) no Default is then continuing or Event of Default shall have occurred (and until
such time, if ever, that such Event of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing in
its sole discretion) at the time that the Substitution request is made or on the
Substitution Date, nor will any Default or Event of Default occur immediately following the
Substitution Date;
(viii) Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver such other consents,
certificates, documents, agreements or instruments as Lender may reasonably request
(including, without limitation, a mortgage or deed of trust and assignment of leases and
rents granted by the applicable new Borrower to Lender with respect to the Substitute
Property and any modifications to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents necessitated by
the substitution and a ratification of the Guaranty);
(ix) Borrower shall deliver a certificate certifying that (A) all information delivered
to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Substitution is true, accurate
and complete in all material respects, (B) the representations and warranties of Borrower
and Guarantor contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the Substitution Date with the same effect as if made
on and as of such date;
(x) Borrower shall make such changes to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably
required by Lender in connection with the Substitution and Substitute Properties, but
without changing the Note Rate or other material economic terms;
(xi) Borrower shall certify to Lender that the requirements set forth in Article 3
herein will be re-satisfied as of the Substitution Date;
(xii) the owner of the respective Substitute Property shall be an entity wholly owned
directly or indirectly by Guarantor and structured in all respects as required by Lender in
accordance with Article 6 hereof; and
(xiii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with
such Substitution, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(b) In the case of a proposed substitution of the New Jersey Property and subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 7.5(a), should Borrower desire to enter into a contract to sell the
New Jersey Property, then Borrower shall deliver to Lender notice of such intended sale accompanied
by a copy of the proposed contract (the “New Jersey Sale Contract”), subject to any confidentiality
provisions contained therein (in which case New Jersey Borrower shall provide to Lender a version
of the New Jersey Sale Contract redacting any material economic terms, information relating to
other properties and the identity of the purchaser). Thereafter, Lender agrees to work with
Borrower in good faith to identify up to two Permitted Substitution Properties acceptable to Lender
in its reasonable discretion to substitute for the New Jersey Property in order to facilitate New
Jersey Borrower’s sale of the New Jersey Property pursuant to the New Jersey Sale Contract;
provided, however, in the event Lender and Borrower mutually agree on two Permitted Substitution
Properties to substitute in place of the New Jersey Property, in addition to satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Section 7.5(a), it shall be a further
-53-
condition precedent to the Substitution that all inspection periods under the New Jersey Sales
Contract have expired, with any xxxxxxx money posted under the New Jersey Sales Contract “hard” and
nonrefundable (except on terms typically negotiated in the event of casualty, condemnation, default
and failure of conditions precedent not performable until the closing of such sale), and that all
conditions precedent to the closing of such sale have been satisfied or waived in writing unless
such conditions precedent by their terms are not performable until the closing of such sale.
ARTICLE 8
INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION
Section 8.1. Insurance
(a) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, at all times insurance for
Borrower and each Individual Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive special form cause of loss property insurance on the Improvements and
the Personal Property (A) in an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual
replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and
footings); (B) written on a replacement cost basis and containing either an agreed amount
endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property and a waiver of all
co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $10,000 for all such
insurance coverage; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are
commonly insured against under a special form cause of loss policy, as the same shall exist
on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under
such form after the date hereof; and (E) if any of the Improvements or the use of the
Individual Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses,
providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition
Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law
Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any
portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a “special
flood hazard area” designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, flood hazard
insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the
National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the
National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake
insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the
event the Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic risk,
provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms
consistent with the special form cause of loss required under this subsection (i);
(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily
injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Individual Property, with
such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit
of not less than $2,000,000 per location and a per occurrence limit of not less than
$1,000,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to
-54-
be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such
protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and
operations; (2) products and completed operations; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket
contractual liability; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in
Article 12 and Article 14 hereof to the extent the same is available;
(iii) loss of rents insurance or business income insurance, as applicable, (A) with
loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance
provided for in subsection (i) above; and (C) which provides that after the physical loss to
the Improvements and Personal Property occurs, the loss of rents or income, as applicable,
will be insured until completion of Restoration or the expiration of twenty-four (24)
months, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the
end of such period; and (D) which contains an extended period of indemnity endorsement which
provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been
repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to
the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the
date that the Individual Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed,
whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of
such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance, as applicable,
shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on
Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Individual Property for the
succeeding period of coverage required above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to
this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by
the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided,
however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its
obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of
payment provided for in the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the
extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such loss of rents or business
income insurance, as applicable;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are
being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Individual Property coverage
form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance
covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned
commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in
subsection (i) above written in a so-called Builder’s Risk Completed Value form (1) on a
non-reporting basis, (2) against “special causes of loss” insured against pursuant to
subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Individual Property, and (4)
with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State, and employer’s
liability insurance in respect of any work or operations on or about the Individual
Property, or in connection with the Individual Property or its operation (if applicable);
-55-
(vi) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall
be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance
policy required under subsection (i) above;
(vii) excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $75,000,000 per occurrence
on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance required under
subsection (ii) above; and
(viii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in
such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such
other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar
to the Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Individual Property
is located.
The Policies required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (i) through (viii) above shall not
contain exclusions for acts of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage (with respect to either
Certified Coverage or Non-Certified Coverage), but may exclude acts of war and nuclear, chemical
and biological acts (“Acts of Terror”), or alternatively, Borrower shall have obtained and shall
maintain throughout the term of Loan affirmative coverage thereunder insuring against Acts of
Terror satisfactory to Lender in all respects and in the amounts and subject to the deductibles
described in Sections 8.1(a)(i) and 8.1(a)(iii) above (the “Terrorism Coverage”). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) if, after the Closing Date and at the expiration of
any applicable Policy, it is no longer customary for Qualified Insurers insuring properties similar
to the Individual Property to (1) exclude acts of war and/or nuclear, chemical and/or biological
acts, the Borrower shall obtain and maintain Terrorism Coverage without each of such referenced
exclusions which are no longer customarily excluded by such Qualified Insurers and (2) exclude Acts
of Terror from such Policies, then Borrower shall obtain and maintain said Policies without said
exclusion and (ii) in the event that TRIA is no longer in effect, the Terrorism Coverage for acts
similar to acts included within the Certified Coverage under TRIA shall be maintained in the amount
of full replacement cost and business income as provided in this Section 8.1.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 8.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable
policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to
the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.
The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to
do business in the State or issue policies on a non-admitted basis and at least 90% of the coverage
shall be from insurers having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the
equivalent from the other Rating Agencies) (or such other ratings promulgated from time to time by
S&P and Xxxxx’x for properties and transactions similar in type and size to the Individual Property
and the Loan). The Policies described in Section 8.1(a) shall designate Lender and its successors
and assigns as additional insureds, mortgagees and/or loss payee as deemed appropriate by Lender.
To the extent such Policies are not available as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender prior to the Closing Date an Xxxxx 28 or similar certificate of insurance evidencing the
coverages and amounts required hereunder and, upon request of Lender as soon as available after the
Closing Date, certified copies of all Policies. Not less than five (5) Business Days following the
expiration dates of any insurance
-56-
coverage in place with respect to the Individual Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an
Xxxxx 28 or similar certificate, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
premiums due in connection therewith (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available
thereafter, certified copies of all renewal Policies.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Individual Property the
amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same
protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Individual Property in compliance with the
provisions of Section 8.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 8.1(a), except for the Policy
referenced in Section 8.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender 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 8.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the
effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant
or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might
otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way
affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ (ten (10)
days’ in the case of non-payment of premium) prior written notice to Lender and any other
party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policies have not
been renewed ten (10) 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 insurance required
hereunder is 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 Individual Property,
including, without limitation, obtaining 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 Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
-57-
Section 8.2. Casualty
If any applicable Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by
fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender
and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual
Property in accordance with Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any Net Proceeds available
pursuant to Section 8.4. 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. Borrower shall adjust all claims for Insurance Proceeds in
consultation with, and approval of, Lender; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred
(and until such time, if ever, that such Event of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing
in its sole discretion), Lender shall have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of
all claims for Insurance Proceeds.
Section 8.3. Condemnation
Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any
proceeding for the Condemnation of any applicable Individual Property of which Borrower has
knowledge 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 it 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 but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time
and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not
be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the
deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not
be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to
receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any
applicable Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower
shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual
Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 8.4, whether or not Lender makes any
Net Proceeds available pursuant to Section 8.4. If the applicable Individual Property is sold,
through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have
the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or
denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall
adjust all claims for Condemnation Proceeds in consultation with, and approval of, Lender;
provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred (and until such time, if ever, that such
Event of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing in its sole discretion), Lender shall
have the exclusive right to participate in the adjustment of all claims for Condemnation Proceeds.
-58-
Section 8.4. Restoration
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of each Individual
Property:
(a) If the Insurance Proceeds shall be less than the First Threshold Amount, Borrower may
determine in its reasonable discretion whether or not to apply the Insurance Proceeds to the
Restoration.
(b) If the Condemnation Proceeds shall be less than the Second Threshold Amount, Borrower may
determine in its reasonable discretion whether or not to apply the Condemnation Proceeds to the
Restoration.
(c) If the Insurance Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than the First Threshold Amount but
less than the Third Threshold Amount, the Insurance Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to
Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4(f)(i) are met
and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to
satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
(d) If the Insurance Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Third Threshold Amount, Lender
shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make the Insurance Proceeds available for the
Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4 or to apply the Net Proceeds to
the payment of the Debt.
(e) If the Condemnation Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Second Threshold Amount,
Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make the Condemnation Proceeds available
for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4 or to apply the Net
Proceeds to the payment of the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, regardless of the amount of
the Condemnation Proceeds, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, determine whether to make the
Condemnation Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.4 or to apply the Condemnation Proceeds to the payment of the Debt if a threatened or
actual Condemnation could reasonably be expected to result in (i) abatement of twelve and one-half
percent (12.5%) or more of the rent payable under all the leases at the applicable Individual
Property or (ii) a material adverse effect on (A) the Individual Property, including, without
limitation, any uncured issues with respect to the building, parking, access or zoning requirements
applicable to the Individual Property, (B) the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of
the lien or security title of the Mortgage, as applicable, or other Loan Documents or (C) the
ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(f) The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 8.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of
all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a
result of a Casualty, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not
limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or
(ii) the net amount of the Award as a result of a Condemnation, after deduction of its reasonable
costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting
the same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
-59-
(i) Subject to Section 8.4(a)-(e) above, the Net Proceeds shall be made available to
Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions is met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred (that has not been expressly waived
by Lender in writing in its sole discretion);
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty
percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the applicable
Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of
a Casualty and the amount of damage does not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the
applicable Individual Property’s fair market value immediately prior to the
occurrence of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation
Proceeds, less than twenty percent (20%) of the land constituting the applicable
Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery
of the applicable Individual Property, and less than twenty-five percent (25%) of
the aggregate floor area of the Improvements is taken and the taking does not exceed
twenty-five percent (25%) of the applicable Individual Property’s fair market value
immediately prior to the occurrence of such taking;
(C) Leases covering in the aggregate at least eighty percent (80%) of the total
rentable space in the applicable Individual 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, and each Major Lease in effect
as of such date shall remain in full force and effect during and after the
completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for
Restoration;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable
(but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation,
whichever the case may be, occurs);
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred
with respect to the applicable Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of
any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of
the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii) above or otherwise
available;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or
before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2)
the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases or
material agreements affecting the applicable Individual Property, (3) such time as
may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation, or (4)
the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 8.1(a)(iii);
-60-
(G) the applicable Individual Property and the use thereof after the
Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Legal Requirements
and Leases;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious
and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and
Leases;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the
permanent loss of access to the applicable Individual Property or the Improvements;
(J) 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 the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to
Lender; and
(K) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by
Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable judgment to cover the
cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender until disbursements commence, and, until
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.4, shall constitute additional
security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds
shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the
course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all the
conditions precedent to such advance, including those set forth in Section 8.4(f)(i), have
been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the
extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with
the related Restoration item have been paid for in full; provided, however, that Lender will
release the portion of the Net Proceeds being held with respect to any contractor,
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the
Borrower 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 or
security title of the Mortgage, as applicable, and evidence of payment of any premium
payable for such endorsement, and (C) 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 applicable Individual Property (subject to
Borrower’s right to contest) which have not either been fully 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 issuing the Title Insurance Policy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Business Interruption
-61-
Proceeds shall be controlled by Lender at all times, shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Section 8.4 and shall be used solely for the payment of the obligations
under the Loan Documents, including the payment of Actual Operating Expenses. If required
by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Net Proceeds 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.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent
consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Restoration Consultant”). Lender shall have
the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or
obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts in
excess of $100,000 under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and
acceptance by Lender and the Restoration Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including,
without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration
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 the Restoration, as certified by the Restoration Consultant, minus the
Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten
percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration,
as certified by the Restoration Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The
Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above in this Section 8.4(f), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower
from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Restoration Consultant certifies to
Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.4(f) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the
applicable Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental
Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the
Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage;
provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being
held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration
as of the date upon which the Restoration 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 or security title of the
Mortgage, as applicable, and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such
endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has
-62-
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.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration
Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower
shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further
disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with
Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in
connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the
Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 8.4(f) shall constitute
additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(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 Restoration Consultant certifies to
Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 8.4(f), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred (and until such time,
if ever, that such Event of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing in its sole
discretion) under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(g) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.4(f)(vii) may (x) be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (y) at the sole
discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such
purposes and upon such conditions as Lender shall designate. If, pursuant to this Section 8.4,
Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, (i) the lien or security title of the Mortgage, as
applicable, shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and
actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt; and (ii) notwithstanding any other provisions
hereof, Borrower shall not be required to repair or restore the portion of the applicable
Individual Property affected by such Casualty or Condemnation to the condition or character the
applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation so long as
no Event of Default exists, but Borrower shall be required to remove all debris with respect to the
portion of the applicable Individual Property not required to be restored in a manner that is safe
and is not dangerous to health or other property and is in compliance with all applicable laws.
(h) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to any of the
Individual Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and
interest
-63-
of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the applicable Individual Property
and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure,
Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE 9
RESERVES
Section 9.1. Intentionally Omitted
Section 9.2. Termination Fee Reserve
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Tenant termination described below, Borrower agrees that Lender
shall establish an account with Lender’s Agent in the name of Lender and under the exclusive
control of Lender (“Termination Fee Account”) into which Borrower shall deposit any sum or
termination fee payable to Borrower in connection with each and every occurrence of a Tenant’s
election to exercise any early termination option contained in its respective Lease or negotiated
between Tenant and Borrower on the date of Borrower’s receipt thereof (the “Termination Fee”), only
if and to the extent that any such Termination Fee is in excess of such applicable Tenant’s base
rent, additional rent and common area maintenance charges for one calendar year. Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Termination Fee Funds.”
(b) Such Termination Fee Funds will be disbursed to Borrower from the Termination Fee Account
on a pro-rata square footage basis upon re-leasing of the applicable terminated Tenant space and
satisfaction of the Release Criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all remaining Termination Fee
Funds applicable to such terminated Tenant space shall be returned to Borrower upon (i) delivery of
evidence to Lender that ninety percent (90%) or more of the terminated Tenant space has been
re-leased and satisfaction of the Release Criteria or (ii) payment in full of the Loan.
Section 9.3. Re-leasing Reserve
(a) If at any time the Leased Occupancy Rate at any Individual Property falls to less than
eighty-five percent (85%), Lender shall require Borrower to deposit with Lender’s Agent an amount
equal to $30 per square foot for each square foot of Vacant Space that exists at the Individual
Property below a Leased Occupancy Rate of ninety percent (90%) (“Re-leasing Funds”). Such
Re-leasing Funds shall be deposited by Borrower into an account established by Lender with Lender’s
Agent in the name of Lender and under the exclusive control of Lender (“Re-leasing Account”) at the
end of the calendar quarter following the calendar quarter in which the occupancy report in form
and substance acceptable to Lender for the applicable Individual Property, which such occupancy
report shall be delivered to Lender by Borrower at the end of each calendar quarter, reflect a
Leased Occupancy Rate of less than eighty-five percent (85%).
(b) Such Re-leasing Funds will be disbursed from the Re-leasing Account in order to fund
actual re-leasing costs, tenant improvements and leasing commissions in connection with the
re-leasing of Tenant space at the applicable Individual Property and upon satisfaction of the
Release Criteria. If, after the re-leasing of a Vacant Space, the actual re-leasing costs for such
-64-
space totaled less than $30 per square foot, the remaining portion of the Re-leasing Funds
deposited for such re-leased space shall be disbursed to Borrower, so long as at the time of such
disbursement the amount of Re-leasing Funds on deposit in the Re-leasing Account are equal to or
more than $30 per square foot of Vacant Space at the applicable Individual Property below a Leased
Occupancy Rate of ninety percent (90%). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all remaining Re-leasing
Funds shall be returned to Borrower upon (i) the Leased Occupancy Rate at the applicable Individual
Property equaling eight-five percent (85%) or more and satisfaction of the Release Criteria or (ii)
payment in full of the Loan.
Section 9.4. Tax and Insurance Funds
Upon Lender’s election, Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) into an account with
Lender’s Agent in the name of Lender and under the exclusive control of Lender (hereinafter
respectively referred to as the “Tax Account” and the “Insurance Account”) on each Scheduled
Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or
estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (such sum, the
“Monthly Tax Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in the Tax Account, and (b)
except to the extent Lender has waived the insurance escrow because the insurance required
hereunder is maintained under a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender in accordance with
Section 8.1(c), one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable during
the next ensuing twelve (12) months for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon
the expiration thereof or such higher amount necessary to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds
to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
Policies (such sum, the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”) (amounts held in the Tax Account and the
Insurance Account are collectively herein referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Funds”). In the
event Lender shall elect, after the Closing Date, to collect payments in escrow for Insurance
Premiums, Borrower shall pay to Lender an initial deposit to be determined by Lender, in its sole
discretion, to increase the amounts in the Insurance Account to an amount which, together with
anticipated monthly escrow payments, shall be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums as they
become due. Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules
and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains
knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the
appropriate taxing authority. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Tax Account and
Insurance Account, respectively, and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay
the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of
Borrower by applying the Tax and Insurance Funds to the payment of such Taxes and Insurance
Premiums. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Funds shall exceed the aggregate amounts due for
Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 8.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made
to the Tax and Insurance Funds. If the Tax and Insurance Funds are not sufficient to pay the
amounts set forth above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender
shall reasonably estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency.

Section 9.5. Security Deposit Reserve
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or the occurrence of Borrower’s springing
obligation to deposit any Re-leasing Funds into the Re-leasing Account pursuant to Section 9.3
herein, Borrower agrees that Lender shall establish an account with Lender’s Agent in the name of
Lender and under the exclusive control of Lender (the “Security Deposit Account”) into which
Borrower shall promptly deposit all cash security deposits under the Leases held by Borrower or
Borrower’s agent and, in the event any security deposit is held in the form of a letter of credit,
Borrower shall promptly assign such letter of credit to Lender in a manner reasonably acceptable to
Lender. Amounts so deposited or transferred shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Security
Deposit Funds.”
Section 9.6. Reserve Funds Generally
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the
Reserve Accounts and any and all Reserve Funds now or hereafter deposited in the Reserve Accounts
as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith,
the Reserve Accounts and the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The
provisions of this Section 9.6 are intended to give Lender “control” of the Reserve Accounts and
the Account Collateral within the meaning of the UCC.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 9, upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default (and until such time, if ever, that such Event of Default is expressly waived by
Lender in writing in its sole discretion), without notice from Lender (a) Borrower shall have no
rights in respect of the Reserve Accounts, (b) Lender may liquidate and transfer any amounts then
invested pursuant to the applicable terms hereof to the Reserve Accounts or reinvest such amounts
as Lender may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted
or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other Loan Documents or to enable Lender to
exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with
respect to any Reserve Account or any Account Collateral, and (c) Lender shall have all rights and
remedies with respect to the Reserve Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account
Collateral as described in this Agreement and in the Mortgage, in addition to all of the rights and
remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in the Mortgage, may apply the amounts of such Reserve Accounts as
Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be maintained together in a separate segregated account and may
not be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(d) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge,
assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Accounts or the Reserve Funds deposited
therein or permit any lien 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.
-66-
(e) The insufficiency of any balance in any of the Reserve Accounts shall not relieve Borrower
from each of its covenants, agreements and obligations contained in this Agreement and in the other
Loan Documents.
(f) Borrower agrees to pay all the customary fees and expenses in connection with the
maintenance and operation of the Reserve Accounts, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in
Lender’s sole discretion, to direct Lender’s Agent to offset any such fees and expenses against
interest otherwise payable to Borrower on the terms of subsection (g) below. Borrower shall
indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims,
demands, liabilities, 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
Reserve Funds or the related Reserve Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the
Reserve Funds or the related Reserve Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. 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 or the
related Reserve Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim
unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(g) So long as no Event of Default has occurred (and until such time, if ever, that such Event
of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing in its sole discretion), interest and other
earnings accrued on any Reserve Account shall be added to the amounts in the Reserve Account for
the benefit of Borrower. In no event shall Lender or any Agent that at any time holds or maintains
the Reserve Account be required to select any particular account or credit funds therein at the
highest business savings or comparable rate of interest, provided that selection of the account and
the rate of interest credited to Borrower on funds deposited therein shall be consistent with the
general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or the Agent, as applicable, in establishing
similar accounts. Borrower agrees that Lender and Lender’s Agent shall report all interest to
which it is entitled under the terms hereof of Reserve Funds as the income of Borrower (and, if
Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the partners, members or beneficiaries of
Borrower, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of the Reserve Funds for federal and
applicable state and local tax purposes, except to the extent that Lender retains any interest for
its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as provided herein.
(h) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Reserve Accounts are subject to the sole
dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the
terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Reserve Account
except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein.
(i) Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender for filing a financing statement or
statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Reserve Accounts and the Account Collateral
with respect thereto in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein.
Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will
promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to
perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted
-67-
hereby or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Reserve Account or Account Collateral.

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.

ARTICLE 13
SECONDARY MARKET
Section 13.1. Transfer of Loan
Lender shall not sell, transfer or assign the Loan Documents or any of the security for the
Loan, or grant participations therein, or syndicate the Loan, to any Person which is not (a) an
Affiliate of, or Controlled by, the Xxxx Family and/or (b) one or more Institutional Lender(s).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and until such time, if
ever, that such Event of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing in its sole
-76-
discretion), at Lender’s cost, Lender may sell, transfer or assign the Loan Documents or any
of the security for the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or any interest therein), or grant
participations therein, or syndicate the Loan, to any Person or Persons from time to time. At
Lender’s cost, Lender may sell, transfer or assign the Loan Documents or any of the security for
the Loan, or grant participations therein, or syndicate the Loan, to (a) any Person which is (i) an
Affiliate of, or Controlled by, the Xxxx Family and/or (ii) one or more Institutional Lender(s), as
described in the first sentence of this Section 13.1, (b) any Person upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, as described in the second sentence of this Section 13.1), and/or (c) any
Person(s) not otherwise permitted by the first two sentences of this Section 13.1 and with the
prior written consent of Borrower, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. It shall be deemed
reasonable for Borrower to withhold consent to a proposed transfer by Lender to any entity which is
not an Institutional Investor if such entity is a publicly-listed real estate investment trust in
the business of acquiring, developing, owning, leasing and managing retail shopping centers.
Section 13.2. Right of First Offer
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the occurrence of a ROFO
Trigger Event, Lender shall deliver to Borrower written notice of the ROFO Price and Borrower shall
have ten (10) Business Days from Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s notice in which to exercise its
option to purchase the Loan (or partially paydown the Loan, if applicable and as hereinafter
described) in accordance with Section 13.2(b) below. Borrower’s failure to respond within ten (10)
Business Days shall be deemed an election by Borrower not to purchase the Loan (or partially
paydown the Loan, if applicable and as hereinafter described).
(b) Upon delivery of written notice to Lender within the ten (10) Business Day period
described in Section 13.2(a), Borrower shall be deemed to have elected and to be irrevocably
obligated to purchase the Loan in its entirety or to paydown a portion of the Loan, as applicable,
for an amount equal to the applicable ROFO Price. If such ROFO Trigger Event was an offer for
purchase of a portion of the Loan, then the ROFO Price to be paid by Borrower shall be paid in the
form of a partial paydown of the principal amount of the Note at par without any prepayment fee
assessed pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement; provided, however, if the ROFO Price is greater
than the equivalent principal amount of the Note at par, then Borrower agrees to pay to Lender the
actual ROFO Price but the principal amount of the Note shall be reduced only by the designated
portion of the Note being purchased at par and all portions of the ROFO Price above such purchased
amount shall be deemed a prepayment fee earned by Lender. Should Borrower elect to purchase the
Loan in its entirety, (1) Lender shall draft and deliver to Borrower commercially reasonable
transfer documents (without representation or warranty) necessary to effect such a transfer, and
(2) Borrower shall draft and deliver to Lender reasonable evidence of Borrower’s authority to
purchase the Loan; if the ROFO Trigger Event was an offer for purchase of a portion of the Loan,
transfer and authority documents are not applicable since such transaction as between Borrower and
Lender shall be effected as a partial paydown of the Loan as aforesaid. If Borrower elects to
exercise its ROFO but fails to close the transaction (by delivering to Lender all required
documentation and by tendering to Lender the ROFO Price) within twenty (20) Business Days after
Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s election notice, then such failure to close shall be deemed an Event
of Default and Lender shall be entitled to any and all remedies available under this Agreement, at
law and in equity, including, without limitation, (i)
-77-
declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (along with all prepayment fees assessed
pursuant to Section 2.3 of this Agreement), (ii) enforcing the terms of this Section 13.2, and
(iii) seeking damages for the Borrower’s failure to close the transaction contemplated by this
Section 13.2.
(c) If Borrower elects not to exercise its ROFO (or is deemed not to have exercised its ROFO
pursuant to Section 13.2(a)), Lender may transfer all or any portion of the Loan without regard to
the ROFO or this Section 13.2 for a purchase price of not less than ninety-five percent (95%) of
the ROFO Price for a period of six (6) months after Borrower’s election, or deemed election, not to
purchase, and upon consummation of such transfer, the ROFO and this Section 13.2 shall be of no
further force and effect with respect to the portion of the Loan transferred. If Lender intends to
accept a purchase price which is less than ninety-five percent (95%) of the applicable ROFO Price,
then a ROFO Trigger Event shall be deemed to have occurred again, and the ROFO process pursuant to
this Section 13.2 shall begin again at a ROFO Price equal to such lesser acceptable purchase price.
If the purchase and sale transaction is not consummated within the applicable six-month period,
then the Borrower’s rights and the Lender’s obligations set forth in this Section 13.2 shall not be
applicable until such time as another ROFO Trigger Event occurs.
(d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and until such time, if ever, that such Event
of Default is expressly waived by Lender in writing in its sole discretion), this Section 13.2
shall be deemed not to be in force and effect, and Lender may transfer all or any portion of the
Loan without regard to the ROFO or this Section 13.2.

result of a default under Section 4.9 or Section 5.18 of this Agreement.
Section 14.4. Provided Information Indemnification
In addition to, but without duplication of, any indemnification provided pursuant to
Article 13, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify,

ARTICLE 18
WAIVERS
Section 18.1. 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 or Guarantor
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.
Section 18.2. Modification, Waiver in Writing
No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by
Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future
notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
-83-
Section 18.3. Delay Not a Waiver
Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance
of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege
hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as
security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the
due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other
amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for
failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 18.4. Trial by Jury
BORROWER, GUARANTOR AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE
TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH
RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR
OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, GUARANTOR AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS
INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE
ACCRUE. EACH OF LENDER, GUARANTOR AND BORROWER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS
PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER, GUARANTOR AND
LENDER.
Section 18.5. Waiver of Notice
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with
respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly
provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which
Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect
to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to 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
-84-
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. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting
any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 18.7. 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 Individual Properties, 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 Individual
Properties 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 Individual
Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its
Other Obligations.

Section 20.12. Liability
If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such

Section 20.13. Cross Collateralization; Remedies
Each Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security
of the collective interest of Borrower in the Individual Properties and in reliance upon the
aggregate of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security
than the sum of each portion owned by each Borrower taken separately. Each Borrower agrees that
each Loan Document is and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other Loan
Document that (a) an Event of Default under any Loan Document shall constitute an Event of Default
under each other Loan Document; (b) each Mortgage shall secure each Note; and (c) such
cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed by any Borrower to constitute a fraudulent
conveyance and each Borrower hereby waives any claims related thereto. Each Borrower further
agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to institute a
proceeding or proceedings for the total or partial foreclosure of any Mortgage whether by court
action, power of sale or otherwise, under any applicable provision of law, for all of the Debt and
the lien and the security interest created by the other Mortgage shall continue in full force and
effect without loss of priority as a lien and security interest securing the payment of that
portion of the Debt then due and payable but still outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, any and all sums received by Lender under the Loan Documents shall be
applied to the Debt in such order and priority as Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion,
without regard to the portion of Loan allocated to any Individual Property, the principal amount of
any Note or the appraised value of any portion of the Individual Properties.
Section 20.14. Contributions
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation
-92-
to pay the Debt and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and
in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution
agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section 20.14 to allocate such benefits among
themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of
Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such
payment includes, without limitation, any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Individual
Property of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Individual Property in satisfaction of
such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b) Each Borrower waives the following:
(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other
person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue
any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against Borrower;
(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other
Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of
the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment
of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners
or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of
any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of
any other Borrower;
(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more
burdensome than that of a principal;
(v) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the
indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;
(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;
(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other
disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other person or entity or any
defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any
collateral;
(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in
connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of
Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of Title 11 of
the United States Code entitled “Bankruptcy” (as the same may be amended from time to time,
and any successor statute or statutes and all rules and regulations from
-93-
time to time promulgated thereunder, and any comparable foreign laws relating to
bankruptcy, insolvency or creditors’ rights, collectively the
“Bankruptcy Code“);
(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with
respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender
for any reason;
(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or
bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by each Note or
owing under any of the Loan Documents;
(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation
of the portion of any obligation secured by any Mortgage to be satisfied by any payment from
any other Borrower or any such party;
(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even
though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security
for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Borrower’s
rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower;
(xvi) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of Debt is secured by
real property. This means, among other things: (1) Lender may collect from Borrower without
first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower,
and (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower,
(I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is
sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and
(II) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real
property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other
Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses
Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and
(xvii) any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire
against any other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance
of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right
of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any
right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any
collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or
under contract, statute or common law.

(a) Within one hundred fifty (150) days from the date hereof, Borrower shall act in good faith
and use commercially reasonable efforts to form the Condominium Board in accordance with all
applicable laws and deliver to Lender the following items in the forms agreed to by Borrower and
Lender prior to the closing of the Loan (with such changes thereto as may be reasonably acceptable
to Lender and, with respect to clause (i), reasonably acceptable to Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and Home
Depot) (collectively, “Condo Post-Closing Obligations”): (i) all written actions and resolutions
necessary to form the Condominium Board and appoint trustees pursuant to the By-laws (including
therein, estoppel language from Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club and Home Depot) (collectively, the “Corrective
Documents”) and (ii) an updated legal opinion from Xxxxx Xxxxxx & Xxxxx PC opining that, based on
the execution of the Corrective Documents, the Condominium Board has been duly formed and is
validly existing and the execution of the Corrective Documents did not have an adverse effect on
the existence or validity of the Condominium itself. Borrower’s failure to satisfy the Condo
Post-Closing Obligations shall not constitute an Event of Default unless and until, (1) Borrower
elects not to exercise its ROFO (or is deemed not to have exercised its ROFO pursuant to Section
13.2(a)), and (2) a purchaser of all or any portion of the Loan conditions its purchase upon
satisfaction of the Condo Post-Closing Obligations, in which case, Lender shall provide a written
default notice to Borrower and Borrower’s failure to satisfy the Condo Post-Closing Obligations
shall be deemed an Event of Default unless Borrower cures such default within thirty (30) days
after Borrower’s receipt of such default notice from Lender. Upon the release of the New Jersey
Property from the lien of the respective Mortgage thereon, this Subsection 20.15(a) shall be of no
further force and effect.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender for any and all Losses arising
from the failure to form the Condominium Board or maintain the Condominium’s legal existence and
validity. Upon the release of the New Jersey Property from the lien of the respective Mortgage
thereon, this Subsection 20.15(b) shall be of no further force and effect vis-a-vis the Borrower,
but shall continue to be the obligation of Guarantor, which indemnification obligation Guarantor
shall ratify as a condition precedent to any such release of the New Jersey Property.
