The Exhibits contain other terms, provisions and conditions applicable to the Loans. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall
have the meanings assigned to them in Exhibit “B”. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents evidence
the agreements of Borrower and Lenders with respect to the Loans. Borrower shall comply with all of the Loan Documents.
1.2 Purpose. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used to purchase from Franklin Street Properties Corp. the existing first mortgage loan (the “Existing Loan”) encumbering the Property. This Agreement is an amendment and restatement of, and supersedes in its entirety, that certain Loan Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2011, between Borrower, as borrower, and Franklin Street Properties Corp., as lender.
1.3 Commitment to Lend. After each Lender severally advances its Pro Rata Share of the Loan proceeds to purchase the Existing Loan, Borrower shall be deemed to have borrowed from each Lender, and each Lender shall be deemed to have severally advanced its Pro Rata Share of the Loan proceeds to Borrower on the date hereof in amounts not to exceed such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans and (except for Administrative Agent with respect to Administrative Agent Advances), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and Exhibit “C” attached to this Agreement. The proceeds of the Loan will be fully advanced on the Closing Date. Each Lender’s commitment to lend shall expire and terminate automatically if the Loans are prepaid in full. The Loans are not revolving. Any amount repaid may not be reborrowed.
PAGE 1 |
1.4 Tax and Insurance Reserve Deposits. If required by Administrative Agent and provided that Borrower is in Default under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall make monthly payments in an amount estimated by Administrative Agent to pay installments of real property Taxes and Insurance Premiums for insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under the Loan Documents, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.4. If Administrative Agent has sufficient funds in the reserve deposit account to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums when they become due and payable, Administrative Agent shall pay such Taxes and Insurance Premiums in a timely manner.
1.4.1 So long as no Defaults exist and are continuing, Borrower shall not be required to fund an account for Taxes or Insurance Premiums. So long as a Default exists and is continuing, on each monthly payment date under the Note(s), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount estimated by Administrative Agent to pay all installments of Taxes levied against the Property and all Insurance Premiums for insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under the Loan Documents, in each case coming due during the upcoming twelve (12) month period. Required payments hereunder shall be added together with the regular payments under the Note(s) and with any other sums required under the Loan Documents, all of which shall be paid monthly as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Administrative Agent while a Default exists. Such funds shall be held in a separate, interest-bearing trust account in the name of Administrative Agent and all interest shall be credited to Borrower. Such funds shall not be commingled with the general funds of Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on such funds paid to or deposited with Administrative Agent as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all such funds for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes.
1.4.2 Borrower grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in all funds paid to or deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of the State, and Administrative Agent shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. Borrower shall have no right to unilaterally demand payment of or to withdraw funds deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder except as expressly permitted hereby. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may apply any funds paid to or deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder to cure the default.
1.5 Evidence of Debt. Amounts of the Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Indebtedness. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note(s) and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of the applicable Note and payments with respect thereto.
PAGE 2 |
1.6 Interest Rates. The Principal Debt from day to day outstanding which is not past due shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the following (computed as provided in Section 1.6.2 hereof) as applicable:
(a) On Base Rate Principal, on any day, the Base Rate; and
(b) On LIBOR Rate Principal, for the applicable Interest Period, the applicable LIBOR Rate.
1.6.1 Interest Rate. Unless as provided in Section 1.6.3, the Principal Debt from day to day outstanding which is not past due shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate.
1.6.2 Computations and Determinations. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Principal Debt in accordance with this Agreement and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The books and records of Administrative Agent shall be prima facie evidence of all sums owing to Lenders from time to time under this Agreement, but the failure to record any such information shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
1.6.3 Unavailability of Rate. Administrative Agent may notify Borrower if, with respect to any LIBOR Rate Principal outstanding hereunder, the London Interbank Offered Rate is not available, or if Administrative Agent determines that no adequate basis exists for determining the LIBOR Rate, or that the LIBOR Rate will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of funding or maintaining the applicable LIBOR Rate Principal for such Interest Period, or that any applicable Law, or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority, or compliance therewith by Lender, prohibits or restricts or makes impossible the making or maintaining of such LIBOR Rate Principal or the charging of interest on such LIBOR Rate Principal. If Administrative Agent so notifies Borrower, then until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, all existing affected LIBOR Rate Principal shall automatically become Base Rate Principal, either (i) on the last day of the corresponding Interest Period (if Lender determines that it may lawfully continue to fund and maintain the affected LIBOR Rate Principal to such day); or (ii) immediately (if Lender determines that it may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain the affected LIBOR Rate Principal to such day) and in such case Borrower shall pay to Lender the Consequential Loss, if any, pursuant to Section 1.7 hereof.
PAGE 3 |
1.6.4 Increased Cost and Reduced Return. If at any time after the date hereof, any Lender (which shall include, for purposes of this Section 1.6.4, any corporation controlling such Lender) determines that the adoption or modification of any applicable Law regarding taxation, Lender’s required levels of reserves, deposits, insurance or capital (including any allocation of capital requirements or conditions), or similar requirements, or any interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by such Lender with any of such requirements that is not due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the failure of such Lender to comply with any Law or requirement, has or would have the effect of (a) increasing such Lender’s costs related to the Indebtedness, or (b) reducing the yield or rate of return of such Lender on the Indebtedness, to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for the adoption or modification of any such requirements, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of any request by such Lender, pay to such Lender such additional amounts as (in such Lender’s sole judgment, after good faith and reasonable computation) will compensate such Lender for such increase in costs or reduction in yield or rate of return of such Lender. Failure by such Lender to demand payment of any additional amounts payable hereunder within one hundred eighty (180) days after Lender incurs such increased cost or reduced return shall constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand payment of any such amounts at any subsequent time. Nothing herein contained shall be construed or shall so operate as to require Borrower to pay any interest, fees, costs or charges greater than is permitted by applicable Law.
1.6.5 Default Rate. So long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, the Principal Debt from time to time outstanding shall bear interest at the Default Rate (as defined below) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. “Default Rate” means an interest rate equal to (i) the Base Rate, if any, applicable to Base Rate Principal plus (ii) four percent (4%) per annum; provided, however, that with respect to a LIBOR Rate Principal, the Default Rate shall be an interest rate equal to the interest rate (including any LIBOR Rate) otherwise applicable to such LIBOR Rate Principal plus four percent (4%) per annum.
1.6.6 Replacement of Lender. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 1.6.4 or due to a change in its LIBOR Reserve Percentage then, so long as no Default shall then be continuing, Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, pursuant to the form of Assignment and Assumption attached hereto as Exhibit “L” and in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 6.5, including the consent right of Administrative Agent, all of its interests, rights and obligations under the Agreement and the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that (i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the processing and recordation fee specified in Section 6.5, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loan, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, from the assignee (to the extent of outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) and Borrower (in the case of all other amounts), and (iii) such assignment does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitled Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
PAGE 4 |
1.7 Voluntary Prepayments.
1.7.1 Borrower may prepay the principal balance of the Loans, in full at any time or in part from time to time, provided that: (i) Administrative Agent shall have actually received from Borrower prior irrevocable written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) of Borrower’s intent to prepay, the amount of principal which will be prepaid (the “Prepaid Principal”), and the date on which the prepayment will be made; (ii) each prepayment shall be in the amount of $100,000 or a larger integral multiple of $100,000 (unless the prepayment retires the outstanding balance of this Note in full); (iii) each prepayment shall be in the amount of 100% of the Prepaid Principal, plus accrued unpaid interest thereon to the date of prepayment, plus any other sums which have become due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents on or before the date of prepayment but have not been paid; and (iv) no portion of LIBOR Rate Principal may be prepaid except on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, unless (X) the prior written consent of Administrative Agent is obtained which consent, if given, shall provide, without limitation, the manner and order in which the prepayment is to be applied to the Indebtedness, and (Y) Borrower pays to Lender any Consequential Loss as a result thereof, in accordance with Section 1.7.2 below.
1.7.2 Within fifteen (15) days after request by Lender (or at the time of any prepayment), Borrower shall pay to Lenders such amount or amounts as will compensate Lenders for any loss, cost, expense, penalty, claim or liability, including any loss incurred in obtaining, prepaying, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties and any loss of revenue, profit or yield, as determined by Lenders in their judgment reasonably exercised (together, “Consequential Loss”) incurred by Lenders with respect to any LIBOR Rate, including any LIBOR Rate Principal as a result of: (i) the failure of Borrower to make any payment on the date or in the amount specified in any Prepayment Notice from Borrower to Administrative Agent; (ii) the failure of Borrower to borrow, continue or convert into LIBOR Rate Principal on the date or in the amount specified in any notice given by Borrower to Administrative Agent; (iii) the early termination of any Interest Period for any reason; or (iv) the payment or prepayment of any amount on a date other than the date such amount is required or permitted to be paid or prepaid. Borrower agrees to pay all Consequential Loss upon any prepayment of LIBOR Rate Principal, whether voluntary or involuntary, whether effected by a credit bid at foreclosure, or whether by reason of acceleration upon an Event of Default or upon any transfer or conveyance of any right, title or interest in the Property giving Administrative Agent the right to accelerate the maturity of the Loans as provided in the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of the Consequential Loss shall never be less than zero or greater than is permitted by applicable Law. Administrative Agent shall provide a notice to Borrower setting forth Administrative Agent’s determination of any Consequential Loss, which notice shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error. Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide interim calculations of such Consequential Loss in any notice of default or notice of sale for information purposes, but the exact amount of such Consequential Loss shall be calculated only upon the actual prepayment of LIBOR Rate Principal as described herein. The Consequential Loss shall be included in the total indebtedness secured by the Mortgage for all purposes, including in connection with a foreclosure sale. Administrative Agent may include the amount of the Consequential Loss in any credit bid Administrative Agent may make at a foreclosure sale. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the funding or maintaining of the Loan or any portion thereof. The obligations of Borrower under this Section shall survive any termination of the Loan Documents and payment of the Note(s) and shall not be waived by any delay by Administrative Agent in seeking such compensation.
PAGE 5 |
1.8 Mandatory Prepayments. In circumstances where Borrower has failed to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00, in accordance with Section 2.16.1, Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days of a Determination Date, prepay the Principal Debt of the Loans in an amount sufficient to cause a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 2.00 to 1.00 to be met. Any amount repaid may not be reborrowed.
1.9 Late Charge. If Borrower shall fail to make any payment due hereunder or under the terms of any Note within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment is due, Borrower shall pay to the applicable Lender or Lenders on demand a late charge equal to four percent (4%) of such payment. Such fifteen (15) day period shall not be construed as in any way extending the due date of any payment. The “late charge” is imposed for the purpose of defraying the expenses of a Lender incident to handling such defaulting payment. This charge shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy Lenders may have and is in addition to any fees and charges of any agents or attorneys which Administrative Agent or Lenders may employ upon the occurrence of a Default, whether authorized herein or by Law.
1.10 Additional Taxes.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 1.10, any and all payments by Borrower to or for the account of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, Excluded Taxes (all non-Excluded Taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Additional Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Additional Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Administrative Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within 30 days after the date of such payment, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent (which shall forward the same to such Lender) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(b) In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes or charges or similar levies other than Excluded Taxes or taxes which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
(c) If Borrower shall be required by the Laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States to deduct any Additional Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to Administrative Agent or any Lender, Borrower shall also pay to Administrative Agent (for the account of such Lender) or to such Lender, at the time interest is paid, such additional amount that such Lender specifies is necessary to preserve the after-tax yield (after factoring in United States (federal and state) taxes imposed on or measured by net income) the Lender would have received if such deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) had not been made.
PAGE 6 |
(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender for the full amount of Additional Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Additional Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section) paid by Administrative Agent and such Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, in each case whether or not such Additional Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Payment under this subsection (d) shall be made within 30 days after the date the Lender or the Administrative Agent makes a demand therefor. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section shall survive termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of all the other Indebtedness and shall remain in effect until ninety (90) days after the applicable statute of limitation (including any waivers and extensions) have expired.
1.11 Payment Schedule and Maturity Date. The entire principal balance of the Loans then unpaid and all accrued interest then unpaid shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. Accrued unpaid interest shall be due and payable (a) with respect to LIBOR Rate Principal, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Principal until all principal and accrued interest owing on the Loans shall have been fully paid and satisfied and (b) with respect to Base Rate Principal on the last day of the first calendar month after the date of this Agreement and on the last day of each succeeding calendar month thereafter until all principal and accrued interest owing on the Loans shall have been fully paid and satisfied.
1.12 Payments.
(a) All payments by Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrower hereunder shall be made to Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the date specified herein. Payments received no later than 1:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) shall be distributed to each Lender on date received and payments received after 1:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) shall be forwarded the next Business Day. If Administrative Agent fails to timely pay any amount to any Lender in accordance with this paragraph, Administrative Agent shall pay to such Lender interest at the Federal Funds Rate on such amount, for each day from the day such amount was to be paid until it is paid to such Lender.
(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, all payments by Borrower or any Lender shall be made to Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent’s Office not later than the time for such type of payment specified in this Agreement. All payments received after such time shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments shall be made in immediately available funds in lawful money of the United States of America. Whenever any payment falls due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
PAGE 7 |
(c) Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document for the account of any Lender, specify to Administrative Agent (which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof) the Loans (for which payment shall be applied to the Lenders on a pro rata basis as provided herein) or other amounts to which such payment is to be applied (and if the Borrower fails to so specify, or if a Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment in accordance with Section 5.11 for application in such manner as it or the Required Lenders may determine to be appropriate).
(d) Upon satisfaction of any applicable terms and conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall promptly make any amounts received in accordance with the prior subsection available in like funds received by wire transfer to such Lender at the address specified in the Schedule of Lenders.
(e) Unless Borrower or any Lender has notified Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to Administrative Agent, that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be required to do so) in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the person or entity entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds, then:
(i) if Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and
(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender or, if applicable, Electing Lender or Lenders shall forthwith on demand pay to Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by Administrative Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to such amount under the Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights which Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or to Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
1.13 Administrative Agent Advances.
(a) Administrative Agent is authorized, from time to time, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to expend funds, on behalf of Lenders (“Administrative Agent Advances”), (i) to pay any costs, fees and expenses as described in Section 6.10 herein, and (ii) when Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Loan collateral or any portion thereof (including those with respect to Taxes, Insurance Premiums, operation, management, improvements, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition) (A) subject to Section 5.5, after the occurrence of a Default, and (B) subject to Section 5.10, after acquisition of all or a portion of the Loan collateral by foreclosure or otherwise.
(b) Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute obligatory advances of Lenders under this Agreement, shall be repayable by Lenders on demand and secured by the Loan collateral, and if unpaid by Lenders as set forth below shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount under the Loans or if no longer applicable, at the Base Rate. Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each Administrative Agent Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of its making of an Administrative Agent Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Administrative Agent Advance available to Administrative Agent, in same day funds, to such account of Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent may designate, on or before 3:00 p.m. (Administrative Agent’s Time) on the day which is two (2) Business Days after Administrative Agent provides Lenders with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance.
1.14 Defaulting Lender.
1.14.1 Notice and Cure of Lender Default; Election Period; Electing Lenders. In connection with any Administrative Agent Advance made hereunder, Administrative Agent shall notify (such notice being referred to as the “Default Notice”) each non-Defaulting Lender if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender. Each non-Defaulting Lender shall have the right, but in no event or under any circumstance the obligation, to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount, provided that within twenty (20) days after the date of the Default Notice (the “Election Period”), such non-Defaulting Lender or Lenders (each such Lender, an “Electing Lender”) irrevocably commit(s) by notice in writing (an “Election Notice”) to Administrative Agent and the other Lenders to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount and to assume the Defaulting Lender’s obligations with respect to the advancing of the entire undisbursed portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Administrative Agent Advance obligations under this Agreement as and when required to be advanced hereunder (such entire undisbursed portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Administrative Agent Advance obligations under this Agreement, including its portion of the Payment Amount that is the subject of the default, is hereinafter referred to as the “Defaulting Lender Obligation”). If Administrative Agent receives more than one Election Notice within the Election Period, then the commitment to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount and the Defaulting Lender Obligation shall be apportioned pro rata among the Electing Lenders in the proportion that the amount of each such Electing Lender’s Commitment bears to the total Commitments of all Electing
PAGE 9 |
Lenders. If the Defaulting Lender fails to pay the Defaulting Lender Payment Amount within the Election Period, the Electing Lender or Lenders, as applicable, shall be automatically obligated to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount and Defaulting Lender Obligation (and Defaulting Lender shall no longer be entitled to fund such Defaulting Lender Amount and Defaulting Lender Obligation) within three (3) Business Days following the expiration of the Election Period to reimburse Administrative Agent or make payment to Borrower, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulting Lender Amount, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement for its portion of the Defaulting Lender Payment Amount pursuant to Section 5.11.
1.14.2 Indemnity. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by or on behalf of Borrower to Administrative Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit nor shall a Defaulting Lender be entitled to the sharing of any payments hereunder or under any Note in each case until all Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts are paid in full. Amounts payable to a Defaulting Lender shall be paid by Administrative Agent to reimburse Administrative Agent and any Electing Lender pro rata for all Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents, a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero. A Defaulting Lender shall have no right to participate in any discussions among and/or decisions by Lenders hereunder and/or under the other Loan Documents. Further, any Defaulting Lender shall be bound by any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders under, any Loan Document which is made subsequent to the Defaulting Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender. This Section shall remain effective with respect to a Defaulting Lender until such time as the Defaulting Lender shall no longer be in default of any of its obligations under this Agreement by curing such default by payment of all Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts (i) within the Election Period, or (ii) after the Election Period with the consent of the non-Defaulting Lenders. Such Defaulting Lender nonetheless shall be bound by any amendment to or waiver of any provision of, or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders under any Loan Document which is made subsequent to that Lender’s becoming a Defaulting Lender and prior to such cure or waiver. The operation of this subsection or the subsection above alone shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any non-Defaulting Lender, or relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Furthermore, nothing contained in this Section shall release or in any way limit a Defaulting Lender’s obligations as a Lender hereunder and/or under any other of the Loan Documents. Further, a Defaulting Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each of the non-Defaulting Lenders from any claim, loss, or costs incurred by Administrative Agent and/or the non-Defaulting Lenders as a result of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all additional losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent and any non-Defaulting Lender as a result of and/or in connection with (i) a non-Defaulting Lender’s acting as an Electing Lender, (ii) any enforcement action brought by Administrative Agent against a Defaulting Lender, and (iii) any action brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders. The indemnification provided above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

1.14.3 [Intentionally Omitted].
1.14.4 No Election. In the event that no Lender elects to commit to fund the Defaulting Lender Amount and Defaulting Lender Obligations within the Election Period, Administrative Agent shall, upon the expiration of the Election Period, so notify each Lender.
1.15 Several Obligations; No Liability, No Release. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Administrative Agent (if any) to make any Payment Amounts shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Pro Rata Shares. Except as may be specifically provided in this Agreement, no Lender shall have any liability for the acts of any other Lender. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make the Loans or reimbursements for other Payment Amounts, nor to take any other action on its behalf hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein. The failure of any Lender to pay to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of a Payment Amount shall not relieve any other Lender of any obligation hereunder to pay to Administrative Agent its Pro Rata Share of such Payment Amounts as and when required herein, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so fund its Pro Rata Share of the Payment Amount. In furtherance of the foregoing, Lenders shall comply with their obligation to pay Administrative Agent their Pro Rata Share of such Payment Amounts regardless of (i) the occurrence of any Default hereunder or under any Loan Document; (ii) any failure of consideration, absence of consideration, misrepresentation, fraud, or any other event, failure, deficiency, breach or irregularity of any nature whatsoever in the Loan Documents; or (iii) any Bankruptcy Action or other like event with regard to Borrower. The obligation of Lenders to pay to such Payment Amounts are in all regards independent of any claims between Administrative Agent and any Lender.

Subject to Borrower’s right to contest set forth in this Section 2.2, to the extent that Borrower directly pays such Taxes, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent upon written request receipts for the payment of such Taxes and Other Charges within ten (10) days after the date the same would have become delinquent if not paid.

In the event of a transfer of the Property to FSP Transferee, a merger by Borrower with FSP Transferee, or an acquisition of Borrower by FSP Transferee, this Section 2.16 shall be construed to apply only with respect to the Property and shall not be based on the overall financial condition of Franklin Street Properties Corp. For purposes of Section 2.16.2, any FSP Transferee shall maintain a subaccount in order to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of Section 2.16.2.
2.17 Insurance. Borrower shall, at all times, maintain the following insurance on the Property and the Improvements at its sole cost and expense:
2.17.1 Environmental insurance policy or policies satisfactory to Administrative Agent and naming Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as an additional insured.
2.17.2 Insurance against Casualty to the Property under a policy or policies covering such risks as are presently included in “special form” (also known as “all risk”) coverage, including such risks as are ordinarily insured against by similar businesses, but in any event including fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, damage from aircraft, smoke, vandalism, malicious mischief and acts of terrorism. Such insurance shall name Administrative Agent as mortgagee and loss payee. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent, such insurance shall be for the full insurable value of the Property on a replacement cost basis, with a deductible amount, not greater than the deductible amount in effect as of the date hereof (unless otherwise approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). No policy of insurance shall be written such that the proceeds thereof will produce less than the minimum coverage required by this Section by reason of co-insurance provisions or otherwise. The term “full insurable value” means one hundred percent (100%) of the actual replacement cost of the Property, including tenant improvements (excluding foundation and excavation costs and costs of underground flues, pipes, drains and other uninsurable items), it being acknowledged that such insurance coverage for certain tenant improvements may be provided by tenants pursuant to the terms of their Leases.
2.17.3 Comprehensive (also known as commercial) general liability insurance on an “occurrence” basis against claims for “personal injury” liability and liability for death, bodily injury and damage to property, products and completed operations, in limits satisfactory to Administrative Agent with respect to any one occurrence and the aggregate of all occurrences during any given annual policy period. Such insurance shall name Administrative Agent as an additional insured.
2.17.4 During any period of construction of tenant improvements, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, such insurance as may be required by Administrative Agent of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of materials stored at or upon the Property. During any period of other construction upon the Property, Borrower shall maintain, or cause others to maintain, builder’s risk insurance (non-reporting form) of the type customarily carried in the case of similar construction for one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of work in place and materials stored at or upon the Property.

2.17.5 If at any time any portion of any structure on the Property is insurable against Casualty by flood and is located in a Special Flood Hazard Area under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, as amended, a flood insurance policy on the structure and Borrower owned contents in form and amount acceptable to Administrative Agent but in no amount less than the amount sufficient to meet the requirements of applicable Law as such requirements may from time to time be in effect.
2.17.6 Loss of rental value insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months of the projected gross income of the Property and an extended period of indemnity endorsement providing an additional twelve (12) months’ loss of rental value or business interruption insurance after the Property has been restored or until the projected gross income returns to the level that existed prior to the loss, whichever is first to occur.
2.17.7 Such other and further insurance as may be required from time to time by Administrative Agent in order to comply with regular requirements and practices of Administrative Agent in similar transactions including, if required by Administrative Agent, boiler and machinery insurance, pollution liability insurance, wind insurance and earthquake insurance, so long as any such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums as determined by Administrative Agent from time to time.
2.17.8 Administrative Agent may retain, at Borrower’s sole expense, an independent insurance consultant to evaluate the sufficiency of the insurance to be carried by Borrower and to advise the Administrative Agent with respect to such other insurance as may be necessary and prudent to protect the Lenders’ security for repayment for the Loans; provided however that, so long and no Default is continuing, Borrower shall only be obligated to pay for such independent evaluation one (1) time per calendar year.
2.17.9 Each policy of insurance (i) shall be issued by one or more insurance companies each of which must have an A.M. Best Company financial and performance rating of A-IX or better and are qualified or authorized by the Laws of the State of Minnesota to assume the risks covered by such policy, (ii) with respect to the property insurance described under the preceding Subsections, shall have attached thereto standard non-contributing, non-reporting mortgagee clauses in favor of and entitling Administrative Agent without contribution to collect any and all proceeds payable under such insurance, either as sole payee or as joint payee with Borrower, (iii) shall provide that such policy shall not be canceled or modified for nonpayment of premiums without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, or for any other reason without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, and (iv) shall provide that any loss otherwise payable thereunder shall be payable notwithstanding any act or negligence of Borrower which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or a part of such insurance payment. Borrower shall promptly pay all premiums when due on such insurance and, not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of each such policy, Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent acceptable evidence of insurance, such as either (i) a certificate of insurance with evidence of payment furnished later when billed and paid, (ii) a renewal policy or policies marked “premium paid”, or (iii) other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent reflecting that all required insurance is current and in force. Borrower will immediately give Notice to Administrative Agent of any cancellation of, or change in, any insurance policy. Administrative Agent shall not, because of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for (A) the existence, nonexistence, form or legal sufficiency thereof, (B) the solvency of any insurer, or (C) the payment of losses. Borrower may satisfy any insurance requirement hereunder by providing one or more “blanket” insurance policies, subject to Administrative Agent’s reasonable approval in each instance as to limits, coverages, forms, deductibles, inception and expiration dates, and cancellation provisions.

2.17.10 Proceeds from Casualty or Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Administrative Agent of any casualty or any condemnation or condemnation that is threatened in a written notice that is received by Borrower. If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent is authorized, at its sole and absolute option, to commence, appear in and prosecute, in its own or Borrower’s name, any action or proceeding relating to any condemnation or casualty, and to make proof of loss for and to settle or compromise any claim in connection therewith. In such case when an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to receive all condemnation awards and insurance proceeds (the “Net Proceeds”), and may deduct therefrom all of its expenses. However, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall diligently assert its rights and remedies with respect to each claim and promptly pursue the settlement and compromise of each claim subject to Administrative Agent’s approval with respect to any such settlement and compromise with a value greater than $2,000,000, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of any condemnation award or insurance proceeds to which Lender is entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Property shall have been sold pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage, Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive such funds (a) to the extent of any remaining Indebtedness after such sale with interest thereon, and (b) to the extent necessary to reimburse Administrative Agent and Lender for their expenses. If any condemnation awards or insurance proceeds are paid to Borrower and are to be paid to Administrative Agent pursuant to the applicable provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall receive the same in trust for Administrative Agent. Within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of any condemnation awards or insurance proceeds that are to be paid to Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver such awards or proceeds to Administrative Agent in the form in which they were received, together with any endorsements or documents that may be necessary to effectively negotiate or transfer the same to Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver from time to time, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such further instruments or documents as may be requested by Administrative Agent to confirm the grant and assignment to Lender of any condemnation awards or insurance proceeds.
(b) Net Proceeds must be utilized either for payment of the Obligations or for the restoration of the Property. Net Proceeds shall be utilized for the restoration of the Property only if no Event of Default shall exist and only if in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, the Net Proceeds, together with other funds deposited with Administrative Agent for that purpose, are sufficient to pay the cost of the restoration pursuant to a budget and plans and specifications reasonably approved by Administrative Agent, and (iii) the restoration can be completed prior to the final maturity of the Loan and prior to the date required by any permanent loan commitment or any purchase and sale agreement or by the Target Lease. Otherwise, Net Proceeds shall be utilized for payment of the Obligations.
PAGE 21 |
(c) If Net Proceeds are to be utilized for the restoration of the Property, the Net Proceeds, together with any other funds deposited with Administrative Agent for that purpose, must be deposited in a Borrower’s deposit account, which shall be an interest-bearing account, with all accrued interest to become part of Borrower’s deposit. Borrower agrees that it shall include all interest and earnings on any such deposit as its income (and, if Borrower is a partnership or other pass-through entity, the income of its partners, members or beneficiaries, as the case may be), and shall be the owner of all funds on deposit in the Borrower’s deposit account for federal and applicable state and local tax purposes. Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to manage and control all funds in the Borrower’s deposit account, but Administrative Agent shall have no fiduciary duty with respect to such funds. Administrative Agent will advance the deposited funds from time to time to Borrower for the payment of costs of restoration of the Property as the same are incurred from time to time upon presentation of evidence reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent that such portion of the restoration completed to date has been completed satisfactorily and lien free, accompanied by bills or statements for such costs and customary lien waivers. Any account fees and charges may be deducted from the balance, if any, in the Borrower’s deposit account. Borrower grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in the Borrower’s deposit account and all funds hereafter deposited to such deposit account, and any proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations. Such security interest shall be governed by the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota, and Administrative Agent shall have available to it all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party thereunder. The Borrower’s deposit account may be established and held in such name or names as Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, including in the name of Administrative Agent.
2.17.11 In the event of a transfer of the Property to FSP Transferee, a merger by Borrower with FSP Transferee, or an acquisition of Borrower by FSP Transferee, this Section 2.17 shall be construed to apply only with respect to the Property.
2.18 Transfers, Encumbrances, Etc. Except in each case as permitted by the Loan Documents, such as a transfer of the Property to a FSP Transferee, Borrower shall not, voluntarily or involuntarily, directly or indirectly, sell, convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of, grant easements or other rights with respect to, obtain a zoning reclassification or variance with respect to, or mortgage, encumber or create a Lien or security interest in, the Property or any portion therein or the income or any other revenues therefrom or permit or suffer any such action to be taken.
2.19 Ownership, Merger, Consolidation, Purchase or Sale of Assets, Etc. Except as permitted by this Agreement, such as a merger of Borrower and FSP Transferee or an acquisition of Borrower by FSP Transferee, without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, Borrower shall not, directly or indirectly, change, or permit to be changed, the structure or ownership of Borrower from that existing on the date hereof, consolidate with, be acquired by, or merge into or with any Person, or convey, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the property of Borrower, acquire any property other than the Property, or change the shareholders of Borrower from that existing on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may transfer shares of preferred stock in Borrower without notice to or the consent of the Required Lenders so long as there is only one (1) share of common stock in Borrower and such one (1) share of common stock is held by Franklin Street Properties Corp., a Maryland corporation, or a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Street Properties Corp.

Borrower shall comply with any applicable Law affecting the Property or any part thereof and shall furnish Administrative Agent, on demand, proof of compliance reasonably satisfactory in all respects to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to challenge or appeal any such Law so long as (a) Borrower shall prosecute such challenge or appeal in good faith, at its own expense and by appropriate legal proceedings, (b) Administrative Agent shall have received assurance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (i) such contest will not result in the imposition of any civil or criminal liability or penalty and (ii) neither the value of nor the use of such Property will be impaired or curtailed thereby, (c) Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be required in the proceeding or as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, to insure the cost of compliance, including all interest and penalties in connection therewith, which shall be not less than 110% of the maximum liability of Borrower as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, and (d) the subject matter of the applicable Law will be addressed to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent promptly after such contest but in any event prior to the time the security granted to Administrative Agent in the Property shall be subjected to any Lien or otherwise jeopardized in the sole opinion of Administrative Agent. The Property shall not be dependent on any other property or premises or any interest therein other than the Property to fulfill any material requirement of any Legal Requirement, except to the extent such Legal Requirement is fulfilled pursuant to an REA. Borrower shall not permit, by act or omission, any building or other improvement not subject to the Lien of the Mortgage to rely upon the Property or any interest therein to fulfill any material Legal Requirement, except to the extent such Legal Requirement is fulfilled pursuant to an REA.

Borrower shall conduct business only in its own name and shall not change its name, identity, or organization structure, or the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business (other than as expressly permitted by the Loan Documents) unless Borrower (a) shall have obtained the prior written consent of Administrative Agent to such change (which is not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (b) shall have taken all actions necessary or reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to file or amend any financing statement or continuation statement reasonably required to assure perfection and continuation of perfection of security interests under the Loan Documents.

Borrower is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, foreign estate or nonresident alien or a disregarded entity owned by any of them (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), and if requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower will provide a certification certifying such status, together with such additional information as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
3.12 Flood Zone.

3.13 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending, or to the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened, against or affecting Borrower and/or the Property which, in each case, if adversely determined, shall materially affect the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or against the Property or involving the validity or enforceability of the Mortgage or the priority of the Lien thereof, at law or in equity, or before any court or Governmental Authority, and Borrower is not in default or violation with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court of Governmental Authority.

3.14 No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery or performance of, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement, the Mortgage, the Notes or any other Loan Documents will result in a breach of, or constitute a default under any other mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or credit agreement, articles of organization, operating agreement, corporate charter, bylaws, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or any of its property may be bound or affected.

3.18 Condemnation. Borrower has not received any written notice of, nor has any actual knowledge of, any actual or proposed exercise of the power of eminent domain or other taking by any Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental body or agency of all or any portion of the Property or any interest therein.
3.19 Physical Condition. Except as set forth in the “Property Condition Report” delivered on or before the Closing Date, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Property, including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, all buildings, improvements, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Except as set forth in such “Property Condition Report”, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, there exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, as a result of a casualty or otherwise. Borrower has not received any written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any material defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

Other than as disclosed in the Title Policy or the Survey, Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Liens, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Liens, individually or in the aggregate, materially interferes with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by
PAGE 30 |
the Loan Documents, materially and adversely impairs the use or the operation of the Property or materially impairs Borrower’s ability to pay their obligations in a timely manner.

3.22 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and delivered to Administrative Agent certificates of insurance for the Property reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other insurance requirements set forth in the Loan Documents.

In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to provide to Administrative Agent or any Lender any additional information that such Person deems reasonably necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and terrorism.

PAGE 34 |
Borrower hereby appoints Administrative Agent as Borrower’s attorney in fact, which power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution if Administrative Agent so elects, to do any of the following in Borrower’s name upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default: (i) endorse the name of Borrower on any checks or drafts representing proceeds of any insurance policies, or other checks or instruments payable to Borrower with respect to the Property; (ii) prosecute or defend any action or proceeding incident to the Property; and (iii) pay, settle, or compromise all bills and claims so as to clear title to the Property. Any amounts expended by Administrative Agent itself or on behalf of Lenders to construct or complete the Improvements or in connection with the exercise of its remedies herein shall be deemed to have been advanced to Borrower hereunder as a demand obligation owing by Borrower to Administrative Agent or Lenders as applicable and shall constitute a portion of the Indebtedness, regardless of whether such amounts exceed any limits for Indebtedness otherwise set forth herein. Neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall have any liability to Borrower for the sufficiency or adequacy of any such actions taken by Administrative Agent.
No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or Lenders to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon the happening of a Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or any acquiescence therein. No delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or Lenders to exercise any option for acceleration of the maturity of the Indebtedness, or for foreclosure of the Mortgage following any Default as aforesaid, or any other option granted to Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder in any one or more instances, or the acceptances by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any partial payment on account of the Indebtedness, shall constitute a waiver of any such Default, and each such option shall remain continuously in full force and effect. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to Administrative Agent and/or Lenders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedies provided for in any Note or any of the other Loan Documents, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder, or under any Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or now or hereafter existing at Law or in equity or by statute. Every right, power and remedy given to Administrative Agent and Lenders by this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be concurrent, and may be pursued separately, successively or together against Borrower, or the Property or any part thereof, or any personal property granted as security under the Loan Documents, and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed expedient by the Required Lenders.
Regardless of how a Lender may treat payments received from the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents for the purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Indebtedness, payments shall be applied as elected by Lenders. No application of payments will cure any Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

Article 5 - ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
5.1 Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 5.9) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(b) [Intentionally Omitted].
(c) No individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to amend or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the obligations of Borrower or any other party pursuant to the Loan Documents, or otherwise, except for the Administrative Agent to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. All such rights, on behalf of Administrative Agent or any Lender or Lenders, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of Administrative Agent for the pro rata benefit of the Lenders. Such rights, however, are subject to the rights of a Lender or Lenders, as expressly set forth in this Agreement, to approve matters or direct Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking action as set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights, or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Administrative Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of Administrative Agent Advances, and (iii) the exercise of remedies pursuant to, but subject to, Article 4 or pursuant to any other Loan Document, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.
(d) In case of the pendency of any Bankruptcy Action, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loans shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and the Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
PAGE 36 |
(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 6.10 allowed in such judicial proceeding); and
(ii) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Administrative Agent under Section 6.10.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of the Lenders except as approved by Required Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by Required Lenders in any such proceeding.
5.2 Delegation of Duties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultant experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects with reasonable care.
5.3 Liability of Administrative Agent. No Agent-Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any subsidiary or Affiliate of Borrower, or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Administrative Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
PAGE 37 |
5.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any party to the Loan Documents), independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of Required Lenders or all Lenders unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence (or the deemed concurrence) of the Required Lenders or all Lenders if required hereunder as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders. In the absence of written instructions from the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders, as expressly required hereunder, Administrative Agent may take or not take any action, at its discretion, unless this Agreement specifically requires the consent of the Required Lenders or such greater number of Lenders.
5.5 Notice of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, unless Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default that Administrative Agent determines will have a Material Adverse Effect. Administrative Agent will notify Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article 4; provided, however, that unless and until Administrative Agent has received any such request, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of Lenders.
5.6 Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Administrative Agent.
(a) Each Lender acknowledges that none of Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of Borrower shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lenders as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information
PAGE 38 |
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower.
(b) Administrative Agent upon its receipt shall provide each Lender such notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent herein. To the extent not already available to a Lender, Administrative Agent shall also provide the Lender and/or make available for the Lender’s inspection during reasonable business hours and at the Lender’s expense, upon the Lender’s written request therefor: (i) copies of the Loan Documents; (ii) such information as is then in Administrative Agent’s possession in respect of the current status of principal and interest payments and accruals in respect of the Loan; (iii) copies of all current financial statements in respect of Borrower or other person liable for payment or performance by Borrower of any obligations under the Loan Documents, then in Administrative Agent’s possession with respect to the Loans; and (iv) other current factual information then in Administrative Agent’s possession with respect to the Loans and bearing on the continuing creditworthiness of Borrower, or any of their respective Affiliates; provided that nothing contained in this Section shall impose any liability upon Administrative Agent for its failure to provide a Lender any of such Loan Documents, information, or financial statements, unless such failure constitutes willful misconduct or gross negligence on Administrative Agent’s part; and provided further that Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to provide any Lender with any information in violation of Law or any contractual restrictions on the disclosure thereof (provided such contractual restrictions shall not apply to distributing to a Lender factual and financial information expressly required to be provided herein). Except as set forth above, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lenders with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any of its Affiliates which may come into the possession of any of Agent-Related Persons.
5.7 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, to the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, each Lender shall reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorney fees) incurred by Administrative Agent as described in Section 6.10. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Indebtedness hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent.
PAGE 39 |
5.8 Administrative Agent in Individual Capacity. Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any party to the Loan Documents and their respective Affiliates as though Administrative Agent were not Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that Borrower and Bank of America, N.A. or its Affiliate have entered or may enter into Swap Transactions. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Bank of America, N.A. or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any party to the Loan Documents, or their respective Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such parties or such parties’ Affiliates) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loans, Bank of America, N.A. shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lenders and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not Administrative Agent or party to Swap Transactions, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Bank of America, N.A. in its individual capacity.
5.9 Successor Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may, and at the request of the Required Lenders as a result of Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in performing its duties under this Agreement shall, resign as Administrative Agent upon 30 days’ notice to Lenders. If Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders a successor administrative agent for Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall be consented to by the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) at all times other than during the continuance of a Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be required). If no successor administrative agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with Lenders and obtaining Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (provided that during the continuance of a Default, no such approval shall be required), a successor administrative agent from among Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative agent hereunder, such successor administrative agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent hereunder shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent or any other Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article and other applicable Sections of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

(a) If all or any portion of the Loan collateral is acquired by foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, Administrative Agent shall take title to the collateral in its name or by an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, but for the benefit of all Lenders in their Pro Rata Shares on the date of the foreclosure sale or recordation of the deed in lieu of foreclosure (the “Acquisition Date”). Administrative Agent and all Lenders hereby expressly waive and relinquish any right of partition with respect to any collateral so acquired. After any collateral is acquired, Administrative Agent shall appoint and retain one or more persons (individually and collectively, “Property Manager”) experienced in the management, leasing, sale and/or dispositions of similar properties.
After consulting with the Property Manager, Administrative Agent shall prepare a written plan for the operation, management, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition of the Loan collateral and a budget for the aforesaid, which may include a reasonable management fee payable to Administrative Agent (the “Business Plan”). Administrative Agent will deliver the Business Plan not later than the sixtieth (60th) day after the Acquisition Date to each Lender with a written request for approval of the Business Plan. If the Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent and the Property Manager shall adhere to the Business Plan until a different Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders. Administrative Agent may propose an amendment to the Business Plan as it deems appropriate, which shall also be subject to Required Lender approval. If the Business Plan (as may be amended) proposed by Administrative Agent is not approved by the Required Lenders, (or if sixty (60) days have elapsed following the Acquisition Date without a Business Plan being proposed by Administrative Agent), any Lender may propose an alternative Business Plan, which Administrative Agent shall submit to all Lenders for their approval. If an alternative Business Plan is approved by the Required Lenders, Administrative Agent may appoint one of the approving Lenders to implement the alternative Business Plan. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, unless in violation of an approved Business Plan or otherwise in an emergency situation, Administrative Agent shall, subject to subsection (a) of this Section, have the right but not the obligation to take any action in connection with the Loan collateral (including those with respect to Taxes, Insurance Premiums, completion of construction, operation, management, improvement, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition), or any portion thereof.
(b) Upon request by Administrative Agent or Borrower at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to sell, transfer or release any such liens of particular types or items of Loan collateral pursuant to this Section; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any document necessary to evidence such release, transfer or sale on terms that, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the transfer, release or sale without recourse, representation or warranty, and (ii) such transfer, release or sale shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower other than those expressly being released.
PAGE 41 |
(c) If only two (2) Lenders exist at the time Administrative Agent receives a purchase offer for Loan collateral for which one of the Lenders does not consent within ten (10) Business Days after notification from Administrative Agent, the consenting Lender may offer (“Purchase Offer”) to purchase all of non-consenting Lender’s right, title and interest in the collateral for a purchase price equal to non-consenting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the net proceeds anticipated from such sale of such collateral (as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, including the undiscounted face principal amount of any purchase money obligation not payable at closing) (“Net Sales Proceeds”). Within ten (10) Business Days thereafter the non-consenting Lender shall be deemed to have accepted such Purchase Offer unless the non-consenting Lender notifies Administrative Agent that it elects to purchase all of the consenting Lender’s right, title and interest in the collateral for a purchase price payable by the non-consenting Lender in an amount equal to the consenting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Net Sales Proceeds. Any amount payable hereunder by a Lender shall be due on the earlier to occur of the closing of the sale of the collateral or 90 days after the Purchase Offer, regardless of whether the collateral has been sold.
5.11 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise provided below with respect to Defaulting Lenders, aggregate principal and interest payments, payments for Indemnified Liabilities and/or foreclosure or sale of the collateral, and net operating income from the collateral during any period it is owned by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders (“Payments”) shall be apportioned pro rata among Lenders and payments of any fees (other than fees designated for Administrative Agent’s separate account) shall, as applicable, be apportioned pro rata among Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Payments due and payable to Defaulting Lenders shall be due and payable to and be apportioned pro rata among Administrative Agent and Electing Lenders. Such apportionment shall be in the proportion that the Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts paid by them bears to the total Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts of such Defaulting Lender. Such apportionment shall be made until the Administrative Agent and Lenders have been paid in full for the Defaulting Lender Payment Amounts. All pro rata Payments shall be remitted to Administrative Agent and all such payments not constituting payment of specific fees, and all proceeds of the Loan collateral received by Administrative Agent, shall be applied first, to pay any fees, indemnities, costs, expenses (including those in Section 5.7) and reimbursements then due to Administrative Agent from Borrower; second, to pay any fees, costs, expenses and reimbursements then due to Lenders from Borrower; third, to pay pro rata interest and late charges due in respect of the Indebtedness and Administrative Agent Advances; fourth, to pay or prepay pro rata principal of and to secure any Administrative Agent Advances; fifth, to pay any Loans outstanding; sixth, to pay any indebtedness of Borrower under Swap Transactions; and last, to Borrower, if required by law, or Lenders in Pro Rata Share percentages equal to their percentages at the termination of the Aggregate Commitments.
5.12 Benefit. The terms and conditions of this Article are inserted for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent and Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, without prejudicing Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights to later assert them in whole or in part.
5.13 Co Agents; Lead Managers. None of the Lenders or other persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co agent,” “book manager,” or “lead manager,” “arranger,” “lead arranger” or “co-arranger” shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement other than, in the case of such lenders, those applicable to all Lenders as such. Without limiting the foregoing, none of Lenders or other persons so identified as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent,” “co-agent” or “lead manager” shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of Lenders or other persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder.

Article 6 - GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6.1 Consents; Borrower’s Indemnity. Except where otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, in any instance where the approval, consent or the exercise of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ judgment is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be (a) within the sole discretion of Administrative Agent or Lenders; (b) deemed to have been given only by a specific writing intended for the purpose given and executed by Administrative Agent or Lenders; and (c) free from any limitation or requirement of reasonableness. Notwithstanding any approvals or consents by Administrative Agent or Lenders, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation or responsibility whatsoever for the adequacy, form or content of any budget, any appraisal, any contract, any Lease, or any other matter incident to the Property. Any inspection, appraisal or audit of the Property or the books and records of Borrower, or the procuring of documents and financial and other information, by or on behalf of Administrative Agent shall be for Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ protection only, and shall not constitute an assumption of responsibility to Borrower or anyone else with regard to the condition, value, maintenance or operation of the Property, or relieve Borrower of any of Borrower’s obligations. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any duty to supervise or to inspect the Property. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable or responsible for, and Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any claim, action, loss or cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs but excluding consequential or indirect damages unless such consequential or indirect damages are incurred and required to be paid by Administrative Agent or a Lender to a third-party) arising from or relating to (i) any defect in the Property or the Improvements, (ii) any failure to protect or insure the Improvements, (iii) in connection with the protection and preservation of the Loan collateral (including those with respect to filing, registration and recording fees, recordation and transfer taxes, title search or examination fees, engineer fees, Taxes, Insurance Premiums, operation, management, improvements, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition), (iv) the performance of any obligation of Borrower hereunder, (v) any transaction, act, omission, event or circumstance in any way connected with the Property including, but not limited to, any bodily injury, death or property damage occurring in, upon or in the vicinity of the Property through any cause whatsoever at any time or (vi) any Lease; (b) any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (i) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered by Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) any Commitment or Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (iii) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; (c) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action arising out of or relating to the use of Information (as defined in Section 6.6) or other materials obtained through internet, Intralinks or other similar information transmission systems
PAGE 43 |
in connection with this Agreement, except if as a result of such Indemnitee’s breach of the terms of Section 6.6; and (d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorney fees and costs) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, or as a result of the preparation of any defense in connection with any foregoing claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding, in all cases, whether or not an Indemnitee is a party to such claim, demand, action, cause of action or proceeding and whether it is defeated, successful or withdrawn, (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee (or its Affiliates, directors, officers, agents, attorneys and/or employees). Nothing, including any advance or acceptance of any document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by Administrative Agent or Lenders. Inspection shall not constitute an acknowledgment or representation by Administrative Agent or any Lender that there has been or will be compliance with the Loan Documents, or applicable Laws, governmental requirements and restrictive covenants. Administrative Agent’s failure to inspect shall not constitute a waiver of any of Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights under the Loan Documents or at Law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s indemnity obligations under this Section 6.1 shall not apply to events or circumstances occurring after the payoff of the Loans.
6.2 Miscellaneous. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, all of which are identical, and all of which counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The Loan Documents are for the sole benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower and are not for the benefit of any third party. A determination that any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable or invalid shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision and the determination that the application of any provision of this Agreement to any person or circumstance is illegal or unenforceable shall not affect the enforceability or validity of such provision as it may apply to other persons, entities or circumstances. Time shall be of the essence with respect to Borrower’s, Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents. This Agreement, and its validity, enforcement and interpretation, shall be governed by New York law pursuant to Section 5-1401 of General Obligations of the Laws of the State of New York (without regard to any conflict of Laws principles) and applicable United States federal Law.
6.3 Notices.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, and other communications required or which any party desires to give under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be in writing.

Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given and received either (i) at the time of personal delivery or, (ii) in the case of courier or mail, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address and in the manner provided herein, or, (iii) in the case of facsimile, upon receipt, or (iv) in the case of electronic mail upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient; provided, however, that service of a notice required by any applicable statute shall be considered complete when the requirements of that statute are met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of change of address shall be effective except upon actual receipt. This Section shall not be construed in any way to affect or impair any waiver of notice or demand provided in any Loan Document or to require giving of notice or demand to or upon any person in any situation or for any reason. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall be entitled to deal exclusively with Administrative Agent and Borrower’s delivery of any notice, report, document, information or other item to Administrative Agent shall be deemed, with respect to Borrower as having been timely delivered to any Lender to the extent Borrower shall be obligated to send the same to any Lender hereunder.
6.3.2 Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. The Loan Documents may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all parties to the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.
6.3.3 Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly given by or on behalf of Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify each Agent-Related Person and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such person on each notice purportedly given by or on
PAGE 45 |
behalf of Borrower. If a Lender does not notify or inform Administrative Agent of whether or not it consents to, or approves of or agrees to any matter of any nature whatsoever with respect to which its consent, approval or agreement is required under the express provisions of this Agreement or with respect to which its consent, approval or agreement is otherwise requested by Administrative Agent, in connection with the Loans or any matter pertaining to the Loans, within ten (10) Business Days after such consent, approval or agreement is requested by Administrative Agent, such Lender shall be deemed to have given its consent, approval or agreement, as the case may be, with respect to the matter in question; provided that such deeming provision shall run solely to the benefit of Administrative Agent and the other Lenders and in no event shall run to the benefit of Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates.
6.4 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, to a depository (including Administrative Agent, any Lender or its or their Affiliates) for returned items or insufficient collected funds, or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.
6.5 Successors and Assigns.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender except as otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower may (i) transfer the Property to, (ii) merge with, or (iii) be acquired by Franklin Street Properties Corp., or a wholly owned subsidiary of Franklin Street Properties Corp. (a “FSP Transferee”), and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, provided that:
PAGE 46 |
(i) FSP Transferee assumes and agrees to pay the Obligations as and when due and, prior to or concurrently with the closing of such transfer, FSP Transferee shall execute, without any cost or expense to Administrative Agent, such documents and agreements as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said assumption;
(ii) Borrower and FSP Transferee, without any cost to Administrative Agent, shall furnish any information requested by Administrative Agent for the preparation of, and shall authorize Administrative Agent to file, new financing statements and financing statement amendments and other documents to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and shall execute any additional documents reasonably requested by Administrative Agent;

FSP Transferee and such constituent partners, members or shareholders of Transferee (as the case may be), as Administrative Agent shall require, shall comply with the covenants set forth in Article 2 hereof, to the extent applicable to the FSP Transferee; provided, however, (x) the covenants contained in Sections 2.3, 2.8, 2.9, 2.12, 2.16, 2.17, 2.20, 2.21, 2.26, 2.27, 2.28, 2.29 and 2.30 shall apply only with respect to the Property or shall apply as expressly set forth in such Sections in the event Borrower (i) transfers the Property to FSP Transferee; (ii) merges with FSP Transferee; or (iii) is acquired by FSP Transferee, (y) the FSP Transferee shall not be required to comply with Section 2.22 (Special Purpose Entity) or 2.25 (Amendments to Organizational Documents) with respect to compliance with the Special Purposes Entity requirements; and (z) Franklin Street Properties Corp. shall not be required to comply with Section 2.24 (Additional Indebtedness).

PAGE 47 |
(vii) If the FSP Transferee is not Franklin Street Properties Corp., then Franklin Street Properties Corp. shall execute a joinder to this Agreement, thereby agreeing to be bound by the provisions of Section 7.1.2 hereof.
(c) Any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that:
(i) except in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and Pro Rata Share of the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund as defined in subsection (i) of this Section with respect to a Lender, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes its Pro Rata Share of the Loans outstanding) subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent, shall not be less than $10,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Loans and the Commitment assigned;
(iii) any assignment of a Commitment must be approved by Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default has occurred and is then continuing, Borrower, unless the person that is the proposed assignee is itself a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund thereof (whether or not the proposed assignee would otherwise qualify as an Eligible Assignee); and
(iv) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement arising or relating to the period following the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement with respect to Borrower’s obligations surviving termination of this Agreement). Upon request, Administrative Agent shall prepare and Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note (“Replacement Note”) to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (e) of this Section.
PAGE 48 |
(d) Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of each Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders may treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of, but with prior notice to Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or its Pro Rata Share of the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) except to the extent consented to by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion with respect to each participation, any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.
(f) Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(g) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 1.7, 1.8 or 1.10 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant.
PAGE 49 |
(h) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto and no such pledge or assignment shall result in any increased cost or expense to Borrower under Section 1.7, 1.8 or 1.10, increase the liabilities or obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or diminish the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
(i) If the consent of Borrower to an assignment or to an assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment threshold specified in clause (i) of the provision to the first sentence of subsection (c) above), Borrower shall be deemed to have given its consent ten (10) Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by Borrower prior to such tenth Business Day.
(j) Borrower acknowledges that Bank of America, N.A. may elect to syndicate a portion of the Loans to one or more Lenders provided that each such Lender is an Eligible Assignee (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower will take all actions as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assist Arranger in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request of Arranger (i) facilitate the review of the Loans and the Property by any prospective lender; (ii) assist Arranger and otherwise cooperate with Arranger in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) deliver updated information on Borrower and the Property; (iv) make representatives of Borrower available at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to meet with prospective lenders at tours of the Property and bank meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective lender; and (vi) provide Arranger with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that such cooperation with the Syndication shall be at no cost or expense to Borrower (other than Borrower’s own expenses) except to the extent provided in the Fee Letter.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the Loan and Loan Documents.
Administrative Agent and Lenders acknowledge and agree that Borrower (i) is a public reporting company with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”); (ii) does not need to seek approval from or give notice to Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any filing with the SEC; and (iii) is permitted to “go private” at any time, without notice to or approval from Administrative Agent or any Lender.
6.7 Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, Administrative Agent and each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower any such notice being waived by Borrower, to set-off and apply any and
PAGE 51 |
all deposits, general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, any time owing by Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all Indebtedness of Borrower, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Indebtedness may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable depositor indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.
6.8 Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the portions of the Loans advanced by it any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the portions of the Loans made by them, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such portions of the Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 6.4 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered without further interest thereon. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off), but subject to Section 6.7 with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation, provided that such participant shall not be entitled to obtain an amount greater than its applicable Lender would be entitled to. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.
6.9 Amendments; Survival. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to amend (whether pursuant to a separate intercreditor agreement or otherwise) any of the terms, conditions or agreements set forth in Article 5 (other than with respect to the rights granted to Borrower pursuant to Section 5.9, which shall, to the extent applicable, require the Borrower’s consent) or as to any other matter in the Loan Documents respecting payments to Administrative Agent or Lenders or the required number of the Lenders to approve or disapprove any matter or to take or refrain from taking any action, without the consent of Borrower or any other person or the execution by Borrower or any other person of any such amendment or intercreditor

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment terminated pursuant to Section 4.2), without the written consent of such Lender (it being understood that a waiver of a Default shall not constitute an extension or increase in any Lender’s Commitment);
(b) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment or mandatory prepayment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any portion of the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate and/or late charges for periods of up to thirty days, and only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate or late charges thereafter, or to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or “late charges”;
(d) change the percentage of the combined Commitments or of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans which is required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender;

(f) amend this Section, or Section 6.8, without the written consent of each Lender;
(g) release the liability of Borrower without the written consent of each Lender (except as permitted by Section 2.20(c));
(h) permit the sale, transfer, pledge, mortgage or assignment of any material Loan collateral or any direct or indirect interest in Borrower, except as expressly permitted under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender; or
PAGE 53 |
(i) transfer or release any lien on, or after foreclosure or other acquisition of title by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders transfer or sell, any Loan collateral except as permitted in Section 5.10, without the written consent of each Lender;
and provided further that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that the Commitment of such Lender may not be increased without the consent of such Lender.
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Indebtedness is paid or otherwise satisfied in full and all of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ obligations under this Agreement are terminated; and all representations and warranties and all provisions herein for indemnity of the Indemnitees, Administrative Agent and Lenders (and any other provisions herein specified to survive) shall survive payment in full, satisfaction or discharge of the Indebtedness, the resignation or removal of Administrative Agent or replacement of any Lender, and any release or termination of this Agreement or of any other Loan Documents.

6.11 Tax Forms.
(a) (i) Each Lender, and each holder of a participation interest herein, that is not a “United States person” (a “Foreign Lender”) within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver to Administrative Agent, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding (or upon accepting an assignment or receiving a participation interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either Form W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to such Foreign Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from, or reduction of, withholding on all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or Form W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) of the United States Internal Revenue Service or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent that such Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to Section 881(c) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, each such Foreign Lender shall (A) promptly submit to Administrative Agent such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and Administrative Agent of any available exemption from or reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, (B) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (C) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lenders, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office, if any) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws that Borrower makes any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.
(ii) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Lender), shall deliver to the Administrative Agent on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Administrative Agent (in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender.
PAGE 55 |
(iii) Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount to any Foreign Lender under Section 1.10, (A) with respect to any Additional Taxes required to be deducted or withheld on the basis of the information, certificates or statements of exemption such Lender transmits with an United States Internal Revenue Service Form X-0XXX, X-0XXX or W-8IMY pursuant to this subsection (a) of this Section, or (B) if such Lender shall have failed to satisfy the foregoing provisions of this subsection (a); provided that if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of this subsection (a) on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this subsection (a) shall relieve Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 1.10 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate.
(iv) The Administrative Agent may, without reduction, withhold any Additional Taxes required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this subsection (a).
(b) Upon the request of Administrative Agent, each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Administrative Agent two duly signed completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9. If such Lender fails to deliver such forms, then Administrative Agent may withhold from any interest payment to such Lender an amount equivalent to the applicable back-up withholding tax imposed by the Code, and Borrower shall not be required to pay such Lender any amounts attributable to Additional Taxes resulting therefrom.
(c) If any Governmental Authority asserts that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest and costs and expenses (including attorney fees) of Administrative Agent. The obligation of Lenders under this subsection shall survive the removal or replacement of a Lender, the payment of all Indebtedness, the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent and termination of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document.
PAGE 56 |

Borrower will, upon Administrative Agent’s request, (a) promptly correct any defect, error or omission in any Loan Document; (b) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure, record or file such further instruments and do such further acts as Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary, desirable or proper to carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents and to identify and subject to the liens and security interest of the Loan Documents any property intended to be covered thereby, including any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements, or appurtenances to the Property; (c) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure, file or record any document or instrument Administrative Agent deems reasonably necessary, desirable, or proper to protect the liens or the security interest under the Loan Documents against the rights or interests of third persons; and (d) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such further acts deemed reasonably necessary, desirable or proper by Administrative Agent to comply with the requirements of any agency having jurisdiction over Administrative Agent. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, upon request by Administrative Agent or any Lender, Borrower will, at Borrower’s expense, provide any and all further instruments, certificates and other documents as may, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent or such Lender, be necessary or desirable in order to verify Borrower’s identity and background in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or such Lender.
6.13 Inducement to Lenders. The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (a) are made to induce Lenders to make the Loans and extend any other credit to or for the account of the Borrower pursuant hereto, and Administrative Agent and Lenders are relying thereon, and will continue to rely thereon, and (b) shall survive any bankruptcy proceedings involving Borrower or the Property, foreclosure, or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
6.14 Forum. Each party to this Agreement hereby irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the jurisdiction of any state court, or any United States federal court, sitting in the State specified in Section 6.2 of this Agreement over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Indebtedness.

The unpaid amount of the Loans and the amount of any other credit extended by Administrative Agent or Lenders to or for the account of Borrower set forth on the books and records of Administrative Agent shall be presumptive evidence of the amount thereof owing and unpaid, absent manifest error, but failure to record any such amount on Administrative Agent’s books and records shall not limit or affect the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents to make payments on the Loans when due.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this _____ day of July, 2012, by and between TARGET CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (“Tenant”), whose address is 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Real Estate Portfolio Management, FSP 00 XXXXX XXXXX XXXXXX CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”), whose address is c/o FSP Property Management LLC, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000, and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association, as administrative agent (“Lender”), whose address is ________________________.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF FACTS:
A. Lender has agreed to make a first mortgage loan (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan”) to Borrower, repayment of which is to be secured by a Mortgage and Security Agreement and Fixture Financing Statement [(if applicable) and an Assignment of Leases and Rents] (hereinafter [collectively] referred to as the “Mortgage”) on certain real estate as more fully described in Exhibit A attached hereto and the improvements thereon (hereinafter referred to as the “Mortgaged Property”).
B. The Mortgage has been recorded in the office of the Registrar of Titles in the County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota, as Document No. ______________ [(if applicable) and Document No. _______________].
C. Tenant is the tenant under a lease dated February 29, 2012 (said lease and all amendments thereto being hereinafter referred to as the “Lease”), made by Borrower, as landlord, pursuant to which Tenant has leased a portion of the Mortgaged Property, said portion being more fully described in the Lease and the Memorandum of Lease referred to in Recital D below and hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”.
D. A Memorandum of Lease evidencing the Lease has been recorded in the office of the Registrar of Titles, County of Hennepin, State of Minnesota as Document No. 4932800.
E. As a condition precedent to Lender’s disbursement of Loan proceeds, Lender has required that Tenant subordinate the Lease and its interest in the Premises to the lien of the Mortgage.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the sum of One and 00/100 Dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each party, it is agreed as follows:
Exhibit H-1 |
1. SUBORDINATION AND NON-DISTURBANCE. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, Tenant hereby agrees that the Lease and the rights of Tenant in and to the Premises are subject and subordinate to the Mortgage, and to all amendments, supplements, modifications, renewals and extensions thereof, as fully and with the same effect as if the Mortgage had been duly executed, acknowledged and recorded prior to the execution of the Lease and delivery of possession of the Premises to Tenant; provided, however, that Lender agrees and consents to the terms and provisions of the Lease and agrees that Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease, and Tenant’s possession of the Premises, shall not be terminated, diminished or interfered with by Lender in the exercise of any of Lender’s rights under the Mortgage so long as Tenant is not in default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure periods. Lender agrees not to join Tenant as a party defendant in any action or proceeding foreclosing the Mortgage unless such joinder is necessary to foreclose the Mortgage and then only for such purpose and not for the purpose of terminating the Lease. This subordination relates solely to the Mortgage and is not effective with respect to any other lien, including without limitation, any other lien to which the Mortgage is (or later becomes) subordinate. In furtherance of the foregoing, Tenant’s rights and privileges under the Lease shall be senior to those of any other instruments recorded, hereafter recorded or otherwise subordinated to the Mortgage, as if the Lease had not been subordinated to the Mortgage.
2. ATTORNMENT. If the interest of Borrower in the Premises shall be transferred by reason of foreclosure or other proceedings brought by Lender under the Mortgage, including a deed in lieu of foreclosure, Tenant shall be bound to the successor to Borrower’s interest (hereinafter referred to as “Owner”) under all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease for the balance of the term thereof remaining and any extensions or renewals thereof which may be exercised in accordance with any option therefor in the Lease, and Tenant does hereby attorn to Owner as Tenant’s landlord, said attornment to be effective and self-operative immediately without the execution of any further instruments on the part of either Tenant or Owner; provided, however, Tenant, upon the written request of Owner, will enter into a separate attornment agreement consistent with this Agreement within twenty-one (21) days after such request. From and after such attornment, Owner shall be bound to Tenant under all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Lease as a direct indenture of Lease with the same force and effect as if originally entered into between Tenant and Owner subject to the provisions of Section 5 below; provided, however, neither Lender nor Owner shall be:
a. personally liable for any damage sustained by Tenant as a result of any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Borrower), which constitutes a default under the Lease incurred by Tenant prior to the date Lender or Owner, as the case may be, becomes the owner of the Mortgaged Property; or
b. subject to any offsets or defenses as are expressly afforded Tenant under the Lease against any prior landlord (including Borrower), if any, unless Lender has been given written notice thereof and the same time to cure as afforded the landlord under the Lease; or
c. bound by any rent or additional rent which is payable on a monthly basis and which Tenant might have paid for more than one (1) month in advance to any prior landlord (including Borrower), unless such prepayment is required under the Lease; or
Exhibit H-2 |
d. bound by any material amendment or modification of the Lease, including, without limitation, any thereof which would change the term of the Lease, the fixed rent specified therein, or decrease the size of the Premises, made without Lender’s prior written consent; or
3. LENDER’S RIGHT TO CURE LEASE DEFAULTS. In the event of a default by Borrower or other occurrence under the Lease that would give rise to an offset against rent payable pursuant to the Lease or a right to terminate the Lease, Tenant will give Lender notice of such default or occurrence at the address of Lender as set forth above and will give Lender such time as is provided to Borrower under the Lease to cure such default or rectify such occurrence. Tenant agrees that, except in the event of an emergency, notwithstanding any provision of the Lease to the contrary, it will not be entitled to terminate the Lease, or to xxxxx or offset against the rent, or to exercise any other right or remedy until Lender has been given notice of default and an opportunity to cure the same as provided herein. The failure of Tenant to give any such notice to Lender shall not be deemed a default hereunder or under the Lease; provided however, that no such notice shall be deemed to have been given or effective as to Lender unless and until such notice is given to Lender in accordance with this Section 3. Lender agrees to give Tenant notice of any acquisition by Lender of Borrower’s interest in the Lease within thirty (30) days after the acquisition thereof.
4. ASSIGNMENT OF LEASES. Borrower has by an assignment of leases and rents (hereinafter referred to as the “Assignment of Leases”) that is a part of the Mortgage, assigned Borrower’s interest in the rents and payments due under the Lease to Lender as security for repayment of the Loan. If in the future there is a default by Borrower in the performance and observance of the terms of the Mortgage, Lender may, at its option under the Assignment of Leases, require that all rents and other payments due under the Lease be paid directly to Lender by delivering a written notice to Tenant. The Assignment of Leases does not diminish any obligations of Borrower under the Lease or impose any such obligations on Lender.
5. PAYMENTS TO OWNER OR LENDER. Upon written notification to Tenant from Owner after attornment pursuant to Section 2 above or from Lender after a default under the Mortgage pursuant to Section 4 above, demanding that rent and other payments be made to such party in accordance with such provisions, Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Tenant, notwithstanding any contrary instruction, direction or assertion of Borrower, as landlord under the Lease, and Tenant hereby agrees, to pay to Owner or Lender, as the case may be, all payments due under the terms of the Lease commencing with the month following receipt of such demand from Owner or Lender. As an inducement for Tenant’s agreement to pay as aforesaid, Owner or Lender, as the case may be, agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold Tenant harmless from any liability it may suffer as a result of compliance with such party’s written instructions to make such payment. Borrower, as landlord under the Lease, also hereby releases and discharges Tenant of and from any liability under the Lease with respect to any such payments paid to Owner or Lender after Tenant’s receipt of a payment notice and agrees that Tenant shall be entitled to rely on any such payment notice without duty of inquiry and shall be under no duty to controvert or challenge any such notice.
6. WARRANTIES. Each of Lender, Borrower and Tenant warrants and represents to the other two parties that it has the full capacity, right, power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, and all required actions and approvals therefor have been duly taken and obtained.
Exhibit H-3 |
7. BORROWER’S INDEMNITY. If Tenant becomes a party to any litigation by reason of Lender’s enforcement of any rights granted by the Mortgage and Tenant is not in default under the terms and conditions of the Lease, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Tenant harmless against any loss, damage, liability (or any claims in respect to the aforementioned), costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatever nature caused by or resulting from Lender’s enforcement of the rights granted Lender under the Mortgage.
8. Scope of Mortgage. Neither the Mortgage, the Assignment of Leases nor any other related document shall cover or be construed as subjecting in any manner to the lien thereof, any personal property or trade fixtures at any time furnished or installed by or for Tenant or its subtenants or licensees on the Premises regardless of the manner or mode of attachment thereof.
9. RELEASE. If Tenant requests in writing that Lender indicate whether the Mortgage has been released, terminated or satisfied, Lender shall respond to such written request within thirty (30) business days of such request. Upon recording in the real property records where the Premises are located of a written full release, satisfaction or reconveyance of the Mortgage authorized by Lender, this Agreement shall automatically terminate without the need for further action.
10. AMENDMENT. This Agreement may not be modified orally or in any manner other than by a written instrument signed by the parties hereto or their successors in interest.
11. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement and each and every covenant, agreement and other provision hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, administrators, representatives, successors and assigns.
12. CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement is made and executed under and in all respects is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State where the Premises are located.
13. CAPTIONS AND HEADINGS. The captions and headings of the various sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and are not to be construed as confining or limiting in any way the scope or intent of the provisions hereof. Whenever the context requires or permits, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular and the masculine, feminine and neuter shall be freely interchangeable.
14. NOTICES. Any notice which any party hereto may desire or may be required to give to any other party shall be in writing to the addresses as set forth above, or to such other place any party hereto may designate by at least ten (10) days’ written notice, and such notice shall be deemed to have been given as of the date such notice is (i) delivered to the party intended, (ii) delivered to the current address of the party intended, or (iii) rejected at the current address of the party intended, provided such notice was prepaid.

EXHIBIT “O”
SWAP CONTRACTS
1. Swap Documentation. Within the timeframes required by Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty, Borrower shall deliver to Swap Counterparty the following documents and other items, executed and acknowledged as appropriate, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and Swap Counterparty: (a) Master Agreement in the form published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. and related schedule in the form agreed upon between Borrower (or its Affiliate) and Swap Counterparty; (b) a confirmation under the foregoing, if applicable; and (c) if Borrower (or its Affiliate) is anything other than a natural person, evidence of due authorization to enter into transactions under the foregoing Swap Contract with Swap Counterparty, together with evidence of due authorization and execution of any Swap Contract; and such other title endorsements, documents, instruments and agreements as Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty may require to evidence satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section.
2. Conveyance and Security Interest. To secure Borrower’s Obligations, Borrower hereby transfers, assigns and transfers to Administrative Agent, and grants to Administrative Agent a security interest in, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest, but not its obligations, duties or liabilities for any breach, in, under and to the Swap Contract, any and all amounts received by Borrower in connection therewith or to which Borrower is entitled thereunder, and all proceeds of the foregoing.
3. Cross-Default. It shall be a Default under this Agreement if any Event of Default occurs as defined under any Swap Contract as to which Borrower (or its Affiliate) is the Defaulting Party, or if any Termination Event occurs under any Swap Contract as to which Borrower (or its Affiliate) is an Affected Party. As used in this Section, the terms “Defaulting Party,” “Termination Event” and “Affected Party” have the meanings ascribed to them in the Swap Contract.
4. Remedies; Cure Rights. In addition to any and all other remedies to which Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty are entitled at law or in equity, Swap Counterparty shall have the right, to the extent so provided in any Swap Contract or any Master Agreement relating thereto, (a) to declare an Event of Default, termination event or other similar event thereunder and to designate an Early Termination Date as defined under the Master Agreement, and (b) to determine net termination amounts in accordance with the Swap Contract and to setoff amounts between Swap Contracts. Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower (or its Affiliate) such action as Administrative Agent may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any default under any Swap Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower (or its Affiliate) or Swap Counterparty thereunder; provided, however, that before the occurrence of a Default under this Agreement, Administrative Agent shall give prior written notice to Borrower before taking any such action. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes Administrative Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable, to exercise, at the election of Administrative Agent, any and all rights and remedies of Borrower (or its Affiliate) under the Swap Contract, including making any
Exhibit O-1 |
payments thereunder and consummating any transactions contemplated thereby, and to take any action that Administrative Agent may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, and generally to take any and all such action in relation thereto as Administrative Agent shall deem advisable. Administrative Agent shall not incur any liability if any action so taken by Administrative Agent or on its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid. Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Administrative Agent is not hereby assuming any duties or obligations of Borrower (or its Affiliate) to make payments to Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract or under any other Loan Document. Such payment duties and obligations remain the responsibility of Borrower (or its Affiliate) notwithstanding any language in this Agreement.
5. Continuation After Sale or Refinancing. So long as no Event of Default exists, in the event of a sale or refinancing of the Property, Borrower may elect to continue the Swap Contract after such sale or refinancing provided that, at the time of such sale of refinancing, Borrower shall, either (i) cause the counterparty under such Swap Contract to be replaced with Franklin Street Properties Corp. or another successor counterparty, which successor counterparty shall have a credit quality similar to Borrower, in Administrative Agent’s determination, and otherwise be acceptable to Administrative Agent, or (ii) post cash collateral equal to an amount necessary to support the then-potential credit exposure of the Swap Transaction for the remaining term of the Swap Contract, as determined by Administrative Agent.
6. Automatic Deduction and Credit.
(a) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, Borrower shall maintain the Checking Account in good standing with Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty a security interest in the Checking Account, and any other accounts and deposit accounts from which Borrower may from time to time authorize Administrative Agent to debit payments due on the Loan and the Swap Contracts. Borrower is granting this security interest to Administrative Agent and Swap Counterparty for the purpose of securing the Obligations.
(b) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, all monthly payments owed by Borrower under the Note will be automatically deducted on their due dates from the Checking Account. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent will not automatically deduct the principal payment at maturity from the Checking Account.
(c) At all times when any Swap Contract is in effect, all payments owed by Borrower (or its Affiliate) under any Swap Contract will be automatically deducted on their due dates from the Checking Account. The preceding sentence includes Borrower’s authorization for Administrative Agent to debit from the Checking Account any monetary obligation owed by Borrower (or its Affiliate) to Swap Counterparty following any Early Termination Date, as defined under the Master Agreement. Swap Counterparty is hereby authorized to apply the amounts so debited to the obligations of Borrower (or its Affiliate) under the applicable Swap Contract.
