On any Payment Date after the Closing Date until the Payment Date that is three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the “Open Prepayment Date”), Borrower may, at its option and upon no less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”), prepay the Debt in whole or in part provided that Borrower shall, simultaneously with such prepayment, pay the Yield Maintenance Premium.

If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall have the right to revoke a notice of prepayment by delivering written notice to Lender at any time before such prepayment is to be made and provided that Borrower reimburses Lender for any costs, expenses or losses incurred by Lender in connection with such notice and subsequent revocation thereof.

No Yield Maintenance Premium or other premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment due to the application of Net Proceeds made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.2 shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Event of Default. If following an Event of Default payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall (a) include interest at the Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan from the date the Event of Default occurred through the last calendar day of the Interest Period within which such tender or recovery occurs and (b) be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower, and shall in all instances include (i) the Yield Maintenance Premium if such prepayment is made prior to the Open Prepayment Date, (ii) all interest which would have accrued for the full Accrual Period during which the
-41-
prepayment occurs, and (iii) any other amounts due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents.

Section 2.5. Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of any Security Instrument on any Individual Property.

-52-
(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments (unless due to Lender’s or Servicer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct), as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(c) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.

IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
-53-
Section 4.1. Borrower Representations. Each Individual Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof as to itself and the applicable Individual Property (and each reference to Borrower below in this Section 4.1 shall be to each Individual Borrower) that:
4.1.1 Organization. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own the related Individual Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Each Individual Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its interest in the applicable Individual Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of such Individual Borrower is the ownership of its interest in, management and operation of the related Individual Property. The direct and indirect ownership interests in each Individual Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III. Each Individual Borrower (a) has complied in all respects with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, limited partnership agreement, articles of organization and limited liability company operating agreement, as applicable; (b) has maintained complete books and records and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (c) has obeyed all formalities required to maintain its status as, and at all times has held itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including, but not limited to, any Affiliate thereof); and (d) has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its interest in the applicable property, as now conducted or owned, and as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power and authority to do business in the State. Its signatory hereto has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents on behalf of such Individual Borrower.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by each Individual Borrower of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
-54-
Agreement or any other Loan Documents to which it is a party has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or any Individual Property, might result in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction for which a default or violation by Borrower is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any Individual Property is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Properties are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (w) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, (b) obligations under or expressly permitted by the Loan Documents or (c) obligations being repaid as of the date hereof.
4.1.6 Title. Each Individual Borrower has fee simple title to the real property comprising its applicable Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Security Instruments, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. Each Individual Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of each Individual Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed such Individual Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Individual Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than such Individual
-55-
Borrower’s probable liabilities immediately following the making of the Loan. Each of such Individual Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor Guarantor in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or Guarantor.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. (a) Each of Borrower, Guarantor and their ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable law relating to any Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability for a Prohibited Transaction (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code). No ERISA Event or termination of any Plan has occurred in the past six (6) years or is reasonably expected to occur and no notice of termination has been filed in the past six (6) years by or with the PBGC with respect to any Plan established or maintained by Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate. Neither Borrower, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate is or was a party to any Multiemployer Plan other than a CBA Multiemployer Plan. With respect to each Foreign Benefit Arrangement and with respect to each Foreign Plan, (i) any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Benefit Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices, (ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan or the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) each Foreign Plan that is required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.
(a) Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is, and neither shall become an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which
-56-
is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of and subject to Section 4975 of the Code). Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and transactions by or with Borrower or Guarantor are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”). The execution of this Agreement, the making of the Loan and the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents, are not and will not give rise to an unexempt Prohibited Transaction within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and are not prohibited or otherwise restricted by Similar Law.
4.1.10 Compliance. Except as disclosed in the Zoning Reports, Borrower and the Properties (including the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes and Prescribed Laws to the extent applicable. The Individual Properties located at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and 00000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX have all certificates of occupancy required under all applicable Legal Requirements for the use and occupancy of the buildings located on such Individual Properties. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. On the Closing Date, the Improvements at each Individual Property were in material compliance with Legal Requirements.
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data with respect to Borrower, the Properties and Guarantor that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor and the Properties, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property.
-57-
4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Each Individual Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Individual Property for its respective intended uses.

All roads necessary for the use of each Individual Property for its current respective purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.
4.1.20 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender acceptable evidence of insurance with premiums paid as due and current thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement.

4.1.25 Boundaries. Except as otherwise shown on the Survey, all of the improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each Individual Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Individual Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon any Individual Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon any Individual Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the applicable Property except those which are insured against by the applicable Title Insurance Policy.

The copies of the Leases and any related guaranty (including all amendments thereto) delivered to Lender are accurate, true and complete, and there are no oral agreements with respect thereto. Borrower is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases. No Person has any possessory interest in any Individual Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases or
-59-
subleases permitted thereunder. The current Leases are in full force and effect and Landlord has not delivered notice of default to any Tenant that remains outstanding beyond the expiration of all notice and cure periods thereunder by either party.

All (a) Major Leases executed after the date hereof, (b) amendments, modifications, renewals or extensions (except to the extent such extension is as-of-right in such Major Lease) of any Major Lease and (c) terminations (other than in connection with a default by a Tenant in the payment of base rent or other material rent which continues for ninety (90) days or longer) or any acceptance of a surrender (other than a surrender by the Tenant which is expressly permitted as a unilateral act of such Tenant by any Major Lease) of any Major Lease, shall in each case be subject to the prior written approval by Lender, which approval, absent the existence of an Event of Default, shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases. Security deposits of Tenants under all Leases shall be held in compliance in all material respects with Legal Requirements and any provisions in Leases relating thereto. Such security deposits may be commingled with other accounts of Borrower if and to the extent permitted by applicable law, provided that Borrower shall maintain books and records of sufficient detail to identify all security deposits of Tenants separate and apart from any other payments received from Tenants and shall provide such information to Lender upon written request thereof. Upon the occurrence of a monetary Event of Default and acceleration of the Loan, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request and subject to applicable Legal Requirements, deposit with Lender the security deposits of the Tenants (and any interest theretofore earned on such security deposits and actually received by Borrower), and any bonds or other instruments held by Borrower in lieu of cash security (including, without limitation, letters of credit), that Borrower had not returned to the applicable Tenants or applied in accordance with the express terms of the applicable Lease (and failure to do so shall constitute a misappropriation of funds). Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Lease, all renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates and be entered into as a result of arm’s-length negotiations upon commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Security Instruments encumbering the applicable Individual Property and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower shall (i) observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) enforce and may amend or terminate the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Leases shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant’s material default or except as expressly permitted by a Tenant pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease; (iii) not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than first month’s Rent or security deposits); (iv) not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

In the event that (A) Borrower has delivered to Lender a written request for Lender’s approval of a Lease or other leasing matter requiring Lender consent under this Section 5.1.21 together with a summary of the business terms
-76-
of such Lease or other leasing matter and any documents or information required to be provided by Borrower under the Loan Documents in connection with Lender’s review of the proposed matter, by a method which provides evidence of delivery, (B) Lender has failed to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such request and supporting documents, and (C) Borrower has delivered to Lender by such method a second copy of such request with such supporting documents and information required above, then, if Lender has failed to respond to such second request within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of such second request and such supporting documents and information, such request shall be deemed approved; provided that each such request included a legend prominently displayed at the top of the first page thereof in solid capital letters in bold face type of a font size not less than fourteen (14) as follows: “WARNING: IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO OR EXPRESSLY DENY THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN [TEN (10)/FIVE (5)] BUSINESS DAYS AFTER YOUR RECEIPT, YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THIS REQUEST.” Borrower shall reimburse Lender for Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such leasing matter.
5.1.22 Alterations. Subject to this Section 5.1.22, Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior consent to any alterations by Borrower to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except with respect to alterations that may have a Material Adverse Effect, in which case Lender’s consent shall be in Lender’s sole discretion. Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations (a) to be undertaken by a Tenant and for which Borrower does not have approval rights under the applicable Lease, (b) that will not have a Material Adverse Effect and do not affect the structural integrity of the Improvements, or (c) are performed in connection with the Restoration of an Individual Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at an Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases or otherwise undertaken pursuant to the express terms of a Lease) shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, then, in either case, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that, at Lender’s option, the Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to, or (iv) a Letter of Credit. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases or otherwise undertaken pursuant to the express terms of a Lease) over the Alteration Threshold and Lender shall make such funds available to Borrower up to one time per month on a progress payment basis to pay for such alterations upon satisfaction of customary disbursement requirements and, promptly upon completion of such alterations, shall deliver any remaining funds then being held by Lender to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior consent prior to the commencement of construction of a building on any portion of the 70.99 acre parcel of land shown on Exhibit B attached hereto which constitutes a portion of the Individual Property located at 0000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx.

Upon Lender’s request, Borrower and Guarantor shall deliver to Lender any certification or other evidence as may be reasonably requested by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion confirming the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower in lieu of the foregoing shall comply with the requirements of any applicable regulatory agency or other Governmental Authority with respect to the representations, covenants and warranties in this Section 5.1.24 relating to direct or indirect owners of Guarantor only (i.e. such limitation shall not be applicable to the other parties covered by this Section 5.1.24). Neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor any of their Affiliates will (i) conduct any business, nor engage in any transaction or dealing, with any Embargoed Person, (ii) engage in or conspire to engage in any transaction that evades or avoids or the purpose of such transaction is for the avoiding any of the prohibitions of EO 13224. Borrower hereby agrees to, upon written request of Lender, deliver to Lender any such certification or other evidence as reasonably requested by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion confirming that (A) neither Borrower nor Guarantor is an Embargoed Person and (B) neither Borrower nor Guarantor has engaged in any business transactions or dealings with an Embargoed Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of an Embargoed Person.

Borrower will timely file or cause to be filed all federal income and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed by it and will pay or cause to be paid all federal income and other material taxes and related liabilities required to be paid by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower sets aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. Borrower will not permit any Liens for Impositions to be imposed on or with respect to any of its income or assets, other than Liens for Impositions not yet due and payable and for which Borrower sets aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.
5.1.2 Changes in the Legal Requirements Regarding Taxation. If any Legal Requirement or other law, order, requirement or regulation of any Governmental Authority is enacted or adopted or amended after the date the Loan is funded which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under the Loan Documents, or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower must pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable without any Yield Maintenance Premium, penalty or fee.
5.1.3 No Credits on Account of the Obligations. Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Obligations for any payment of Taxes assessed against the Property and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property for real estate tax purposes because of the Loan Documents or the Obligations. If Legal Requirements or other laws, orders, requirements or regulations require such claim, credit or deduction, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable without any Yield Maintenance Premium, penalty or fee.

5.1.5 Appraisals. Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or updated appraisal of the Properties or any Individual Property from time to time, provided, however, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall do so not more often than once in every twelve (12) month period. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in this regard and shall be provided a copy of any appraisals ordered by Lender, provided that Borrower execute a release and any other documentation reasonably required by Lender as a condition precedent to obtaining a copy of the appraisal at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. If the appraisal is obtained in connection with an Event of Default being outstanding, Borrower shall pay for any such appraisal upon Lender’s request.

Upon Lender’s request, each Individual Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, execute and deliver additional security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the applicable Individual Property as a result of such change. Each Individual Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrower keeps its books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium or recording, including software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, has been for the preceding four months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Borrower) and will continue to be the address of Borrower set forth at the introductory paragraph of this Agreement (unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such change). Each Individual Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any change in its organizational identification number. If each Individual Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, it shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number.
5.2.9 ERISA. (a) Neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law.
(a) Each of Borrower and Guarantor further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (A) neither Borrower nor Guarantor is subject to any state statute regulating investment of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental
-82-
plans which is a Similar Law and (B) with respect to each of Borrower and Guarantor, one or more of the following circumstances is true:
(i) Equity interests therein are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(b)(2) as modified by Section 3 (42) of ERISA;
(ii) Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total value of each outstanding class of equity interests therein are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(f)(2), as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA; or
(iii) Such Person qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c) or (e).

As soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) days after Borrower knows that any ERISA Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, Lender will be provided with a statement, signed by an Authorized Representative of Borrower and/or Guarantor, describing said ERISA Event and the action which Borrower and/or Guarantor, or an ERISA Affiliate thereof, proposes to take with respect thereto.
5.2.10 Transfers. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its stockholders, general partners, members, principals and, if Borrower is a trust, beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Properties in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on the same as a means of maintaining the value of the Properties as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or should Borrower default in the performance of the obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties.
(a) Without the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 5.2.10, no Individual Borrower shall, nor shall permit any Restricted Party to, do any of the following (individually or collectively, a “Transfer”), (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) any Individual Property or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, (ii) enter into a PACE Loan, or (iii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party, other than pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to Tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.21.

part of any Individual Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation’s stock or the creation or issuance of new stock; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a general partner or the Sale or Pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of limited partnership interests or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited partnership interest or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the Sale or Pledge of the membership interest of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such membership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing membership interests or the creation or issuance of new non-managing membership interests; (vi) if a Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the Sale or Pledge of the legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial interests; (vii) the removal or the resignation of the Manager (including, without limitation, an Affiliated Manager) other than in accordance with Section 5.1.23 hereof; and (viii) if Borrower enters into, or the Properties are subjected to, any PACE Loan.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2.10, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to the penultimate sentence of this clause (d), Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with one or a series of Transfers, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct or indirect interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party (provided that any such Transfers by any Advisor Party that is not a Restricted Party of direct or indirect interests in Guarantor shall not be required to satisfy the conditions in the remainder of this sentence), nor shall the same constitute a Transfer prohibited by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that, in the case of each such Transfer, (w) no such Transfer shall result in a change of Control in a Borrower or Guarantor, (x) the Properties shall be managed by a Qualified Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or a Replacement Management Agreement, (y) if, as a result of the consummation of such Transfer, the organizational chart of Borrower attached hereto as Schedule III would no longer be accurate, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an updated organizational chart, together with an Officer’s Certificate, certifying that such updated organizational chart is true, correct and complete, and (z) in the event of any such Transfer resulting in any Person and its Affiliates that did not own in the aggregate more than ten percent (10%) of the direct or indirect interests in Borrower prior to such transfer, owning in excess of ten percent (10%) of the ownership interest in Borrower, Borrower shall provide to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to such transfer, the name and identity of each proposed transferee, together with the names of its controlling principals, the social security number or employee identification number of such transferee and controlling principals, and such transferee’s and controlling principal’s home address or principal place of business, and home or business telephone number and (A) the proposed transferee must satisfy Lender’s then current “know your customer” standards and (B) Borrower shall have provided to Lender an Officer’s Certificate identifying the
-84-
name and address of the proposed transferee and affirming that such proposed transferee is not a Embargoed Person. If after giving effect to any such Transfer, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in a Restricted Party are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such Restricted Party as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall, no less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the effective date of any such Transfer, deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion generally in form and substance consistent with the Insolvency Opinion provided to Lender on the Closing Date or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies. In addition, (i) at all times (except in connection with the one-time assumption of the Loan pursuant to subsection (h) below), Guarantor must continue to Control Borrower, and own, directly or indirectly, at least a fifty-one percent (51%) legal and beneficial interest in Borrower and (ii) in no event shall the Advisor Parties own more than five percent (5%) in the aggregate of the interests in Guarantor, Borrower or any subsidiary of Guarantor that owns a direct or indirect interest in Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein but without limiting the restrictions on Transfers of direct and indirect interests in Borrower, no withdrawal, removal or replacement of any advisor to Guarantor or REIT or the transfer or pledge of the direct or indirect equity interests in such advisor shall be deemed a Transfer or a change in Control or a violation of any provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents provided, that, Borrower and Guarantor shall provide to Lender reasonable prior written notice of such withdrawal, removal or replacement of such Person’s advisor.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with a Permitted Pledge.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Lender’s consent nor notice to Lender shall be required in connection with the issuance of any share or stock or any sale or transfer by a shareholder of any shares of REIT or any other corporation or REIT the shares of which are publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other nationally or internationally recognized securities exchange or quoted on a nationally or internationally recognized automated quotation system, including, without limitation, NASDAQ, nor shall any such sale, transfer or issuance of stock constitute a Transfer prohibited by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents provided that after such sale, transfer or issuance of stock or units in REIT or such other publicly traded real estate investment trust or corporation, such entity continues to be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange or any other nationally or internationally recognized securities exchange or quoted on a nationally or internationally recognized automated quotation system.
(f) No Transfer of the Properties and assumption of the Loan shall occur during the period that is sixty (60) days prior to and sixty (60) days after a Securitization. At any other time upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, Borrower shall have the one-time right to convey the Properties to a new borrower (or new borrowers) (collectively, a “Transferee”) in connection with a sale of all of the Properties to such Transferee and have Transferee assume all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents, subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) unless the Transferee
-85-
is a Qualified Transferee, Lender shall have consented to such Transferee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (iii) if reasonably required by Lender, a modification of the terms hereof, the Note, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents provided, that, any such modification shall not increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower or increase the rights or decrease the obligations of Lender under any of the Loan Documents; (iv) an assumption of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents as so modified by Transferee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof; (v) payment of all of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer including, without limitation, the cost of any third party reports, legal fees and expenses, application fees, Rating Agency fees and expenses or reasonably required legal opinions; (vi) the payment of an assumption fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (vii) the delivery of an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting the proposed transfer generally in form and substance consistent with the Insolvency Opinion provided to Lender at the closing of this Loan or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (viii) Transferee’s continued compliance with the representations and covenants set forth in Section 4.1.9, Section 4.1.30, Section 4.1.35, Section 5.1.24 and Section 5.2.9 hereof; (ix) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that Transferee is a Special Purpose Entity in accordance with the then current standards of Lender and the Rating Agencies; (x) prior to any release of Guarantor, a substitute guarantor reasonably acceptable to Lender and satisfying the Guarantor Financial Covenants shall have assumed the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity executed by Guarantor or executed a replacement guaranty and environmental indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Lender and delivered an Additional Insolvency Opinion covering the replacement guarantor, whereupon the previous Guarantor shall be released from any further liability under the Guaranty for acts that arise from and after the date of such Transfer and such substitute guarantors shall be the “Guarantor” for all purposes set forth in this Agreement; (xi) if required by Lender after a Securitization, Transferee shall be approved by the Rating Agencies rating the Securities, which approval, if required by Lender, shall take the form of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the assumption of the Loan; (xii) delivery of (A) all organizational documentation reasonably requested by Lender, which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and, following a Securitization, satisfactory to the Rating Agencies and (B) all certificates, agreements and legal opinions reasonably required by Lender and consistent with those provided in connection with the closing of the Loan, (xiii) Borrower shall deliver, at its sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Properties and naming Transferee as owner of the Properties, which endorsement shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement, the Properties shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or Liens other than those contained in the Title Policy issued on the date hereof and the Permitted Encumbrances, and (xiv) the Properties shall be managed by a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement.
(g) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s consent. The provisions of this Section 5.2.10 shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.

(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such
-87-
insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence (and, if on a blanket insurance Policy, containing an “Aggregate Per Location” endorsement); and (B) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 8 of the Security Instruments to the extent the same is available;

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from each Individual Property for the succeeding twenty-four (24) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7.1 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to (I) the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Notes or (II) Operating Expenses set forth in the Approved Annual Budget or, if no such Approved Annual Budget exists, as approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the current property and liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply, (A) commercial general liability and umbrella/excess liability insurance, covering claims related to the structural construction, repairs or alterations being made at the Property which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the below mentioned commercial general liability and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies and (B) the insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a)(i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form in amounts acceptable to Lender (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) above, (3) including permission to occupy each Individual Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

If “acts of terrorism” or other similar acts or events or “fire following” such acts or events are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy or policies required under Sections 6.1(a)(i) and (iii) above, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy or policies, or a separate policy insuring against all such excluded acts or events and “fire following” such acts or events in an amount not less than the sum of one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost” and the business income/rent loss insurance required in Section 6.1(a)(iii) above); provided that such endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (“TRIPRA”) is in effect (including any extensions thereof or if another federal governmental program is in effect relating to “acts of terrorism” which provides substantially similar protections as TRIPRA), Lender shall accept terrorism insurance which insures against “covered acts” as defined by TRIPRA (or such other program) as full compliance with this Section 6.1(a)(ix) as it relates to the risks that are required to be covered hereunder but only in the event that TRIPRA (or such other program) continues to cover both domestic and foreign acts of terrorism; and
(x) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable
-89-
hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to any Individual Property located in or around the region in which any Individual Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies approved to do business in the State and having a rating of (1) “A:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and (2) “A” or better by S&P (and if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securities, “A2” or better by Moody’s) or by a syndicate of insurers through which (A) at least 75% of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least 60% of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securities, “A2” or better by Moody’s) and (B) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better by S&P (and if Xxxxx’x is rating the Securities, “Baa2” or better by Moody’s). The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (to be followed by complete copies of the Policies maintained by the Borrower upon issuance), accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) as determined by Lender. Further, to the extent the Policies are maintained pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Individual Property or Properties (the “Radius”), the limits of such blanket insurance Policy must be sufficient to maintain property and terrorism coverage as set forth in this Section 6.1 for the Individual Property or Properties as well as each other location within the Radius that is covered by such blanket insurance Policy calculated on a total insured value basis.
(d) All Policies maintained by Borrower and provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) shall name Borrower as the named insured and, in the case of liability coverages, shall name Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and all property insurance Policies described in Section 6.1(a) shall name Lender as a mortgagee and loss payee and shall contain a standard non‑contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
-90-
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall:
(i) with respect to the Policies of property insurance, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned and (2) the Policies shall not be cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;
(ii) with respect to the Policies of liability insurance, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender. If issuer will not or cannot provide the notices required herein this clause (ii), Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and
(iii) not contain any clauses that would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after ten (10) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instruments and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1, if, at any time and from time to time during the Term, the insurance policies maintained by any tenants under the Tenant Leases together with insurance policies maintained by Borrower do not (collectively) fully comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 6.1, then Borrower shall immediately notify Lender thereof in writing and Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, immediately procure and maintain either (x) "primary" insurance coverage in the event that the tenants do not provide the applicable insurance coverage required in this Section 6.1 or (y) “excess and contingent” insurance coverage in the event that any tenant does not have the sufficient insurance coverage required under this Section 6.1, in each case, in “concurrent form” with the policies obtained pursuant to the Tenant Leases, over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then in existence, as shall be necessary to bring the insurance coverage for each Property into full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 6.1.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.1, (A) solely with respect to PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC Tenant”), which occupies the
-91-
Individual Property located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, to the extent that: (i) the PNC Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) no default beyond any applicable notice and cure period has occurred and is continuing under the PNC Lease (iii) PNC Tenant, or any guarantor under the PNC Lease, remains fully liable for the obligations and liabilities under the PNC Lease and maintains a credit rating from S&P of at least “A-”, (iv) such PNC Lease will remain in full force and effect following a Casualty or, upon termination of the PNC Lease, PNC Tenant must turn over all insurance proceeds and (v) Borrower shall have provided to Lender, evidence satisfactory to Lender of such coverage, PNC Tenant may provide an all other perils deductible not to exceed $2,500,000; (B) solely with respect to FedEx Ground Package System, Inc., which occupies the Individual Property located at 000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, to the extent that: (i) the FedEx Ground Package System Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) no default beyond any applicable notice and cure period has occurred and is continuing under the FedEx Ground Package System Lease (iii) such FedEx Ground Package System Lease will remain in full force and effect following a Casualty or, upon termination of the FedEx Ground Package System Lease, FedEx Ground Package System Tenant must turn over all insurance proceeds and (iv) Borrower shall have provided to Lender, evidence satisfactory to Lender of such coverage, FedEx Ground Package System, Inc. may provide an all other perils deductible not to exceed $2,500,000.
Section 6.2. Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement) with respect to any Casualty with respect to any Individual Property in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3. Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings in which the Award or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and reasonably cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for
-92-
its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4. Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a) If (i) the Net Proceeds are less than the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property, and (y) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), but not more than five percent (5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan at any one time, and (ii) the costs of completing the Restoration are less than the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property, and (y) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), but not more than five percent (5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan at any one time, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower thereafter shall expeditiously commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If (i) the Net Proceeds are equal to or more than the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property, and (y) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or more than five percent (5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan at any one time or (ii) the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or more than the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the applicable Individual Property, and (y) One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or more than five percent (5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan at any one time, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable third party counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
-93-
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than ninety percent (90%) of the total rentable space in the Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense;
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after issuance of building permits with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will be incurred with respect to the Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
-94-
(I) intentionally omitted;
(J) intentionally omitted;
(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; and
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are reasonably sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender (and such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the general contractor engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which it has been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender (and such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as
-95-
certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall be reduced to five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred upon receipt by Lender of satisfactory evidence that fifty percent (50%) of the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed (subject only to non-material punchlist items) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the related Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the related Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the related Security Instruments and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that
-96-
all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Lockbox Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Notes, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be deposited into the Lockbox Account as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instruments with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title of an Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e) In addition to the foregoing, in connection with any partial Condemnation or any Casualty, if (i) any Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Allocated Loan Amount in respect of the applicable Individual Property or (ii) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Net Proceeds shall be equal to or greater than the five percent (5%) of the Allocated Loan Amount and Lender does not disburse the Net Proceeds to Borrower for Restoration due to Borrower’s failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof using commercially reasonable efforts, then Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect not to proceed with a Restoration and to voluntarily prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price of the applicable Individual Property (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) utilizing the Net Proceeds (together with other funds of the Borrower if such Net Proceeds are less than the Release Price and any interest shortfall in connection therewith) and obtain the release of the applicable Individual Property from the lien of the Security Instruments thereon and related Loan Documents, provided that (i) Borrower shall have satisfied each of the requirements of Section 2.5 hereof, and (ii) Borrower shall consummate the Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment on or before the Payment Date occurring following the date the Net Proceeds shall be available to Borrower for such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment provided that Borrower has delivered notice to Lender no later than the date of such application of Net Proceeds that it intends to make such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment. For the avoidance of doubt, unless such payment is made following the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium or penalty or charge shall be due with respect to a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 6.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instruments following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Properties), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Properties is greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (such value to be determined,
-97-
in Lender’s reasonable discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by an amount equal to the lesser of the following amounts: (i) the Net Proceeds or (ii) a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Security Instruments. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the Net Proceeds, if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 6.4. Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender).
(g) Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 6.1(a)(iii) and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 6.1(a)(iii) above (“BI/Rent Loss Proceeds”) with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Lockbox Account to the extent the BI/Rent Loss Proceeds reflects a replacement for lost Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty and to the extent reasonably necessary to make the payments described in the following sentence. Lender shall use the BI/Rent Loss Proceeds each month until the Restoration is complete to pay debt service, make the required monthly Reserve Account deposits and pay Operating Expenses and other expenses pursuant to the Approved Annual Budget or otherwise as reasonably approved by Lender pursuant to Section 2.6 for the applicable Payment Date. In no event shall Lender make a lump sum disbursement of BI/Rent Loss Proceeds for a period in excess of one (1) month. Any BI/Rent Loss Proceeds remaining upon the completion of the Restoration shall be promptly distributed to Borrower. All Net Proceeds other than BI/Rent Loss Proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with this Section 6.4.
VII. RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Period, Borrower shall deliver to Lender to be held in escrow and disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.2, on each Payment Date during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (ii) subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.2, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the
-98-
expiration of the Policies (amounts so deposited hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds” and the account into which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”). Provided no Event of Default then exists, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to the Approved Annual Budget, Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Security Instruments. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes), or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to the Approved Annual Budget, Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account (a) after the Debt has been paid in full shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 7.7(e) below, (b) after the Cash Sweep Period has ended shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 7.6.2 below, or (c) that is related to a Release Property pursuant to Section 2.5.2 or a Replaced Property pursuant to Section 2.5.3 shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.5.2 or Section 2.5.3, as applicable. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if insurance for the Property is provided through a blanket insurance Policy acceptable to Lender, Borrower shall not be required to fund the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account with funds for Insurance Premiums pursuant to clause (ii) above except during the continuation of an Event of Default.
Section 7.3. Replacement Reserve Funds.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on each Payment Date during the continuance of such Cash Sweep Period, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the product of $0.25 multiplied by the total number of aggregate rentable square feet comprising all of the Properties then subject to the lien of the Security Instruments (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender to be due for replacements, capital expenditures in accordance with any Approved Annual Budget, and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Any amount remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account (a) after the Debt has been paid in full shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 7.7(e) below, (b) after the Cash Sweep Period has ended shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 7.6.2 below, or (c) that is related to a Release Property pursuant to
-99-
Section 2.5.2 or a Replaced Property pursuant to Section 2.5.3 shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 2.5.2 or Section 2.5.3, as applicable.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual Property, replacements of inventory or for any costs which are to be reimbursed from the Rollover Reserve Funds.
(a) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual reasonably approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, as reasonably determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if an Event of Default then is continuing.
(b) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form reasonably specified or reasonably approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall provide an Officer’s Certificate stating that all such Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property to which Replacements are being provided. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts.
(c) At the request of Borrower, Lender will issue checks (or at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, funds through wire payment), payable to Borrower or the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $50,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials (which lien waivers may be conditioned upon receipt of such funds). Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the applicable Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (which lien waivers may be conditioned upon receipt of such amounts paid pursuant to the request for payment).
-100-
(d) A request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the applicable Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the such Individual Property, (B) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (C) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (D) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor (which lien waivers may be conditioned upon receipt of such amounts paid pursuant to the request for payment).
(e) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $15,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Individual Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the respective Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(a) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders in excess of $25,000.00 with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(b) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to cause Borrower to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Funds toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, in order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent there are not sufficient Replacement Reserve Funds therefor, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instruments. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower if Lender has accelerated the Loan following an Event of Default. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and
-101-
cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents for such Replacements; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Funds to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(e) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, during the continuance of an Event of Default, to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this subsection (f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(f) Lender may require an inspection of the Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the reasonable expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(g) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
-102-
(h) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in excess of $25,000.00, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Security Instruments and that title to the applicable Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Security Instruments and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(i) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(j) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Funds (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Funds on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4. Rollover Reserve Funds.
7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Account.

Instruments (the “Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit”), and (b) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Lease Sweep Period, provided no Cash Sweep Period or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Payment Date during the continuance of such Lease Sweep Period, the amounts required under Section 2.6.2(b)(ix)(B) hereof. In addition, Borrower shall deliver to Lender for deposit into the Rollover Reserve Account all funds received by Borrower in connection with any cancellation, termination or surrender of any Lease, including, but not limited to, any surrender or cancellation fees, buy-out fees, or reimbursements for tenant improvements and leasing commissions (“Lease Termination Payments”).

Each such draw request shall be accompanied by copies of invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender for requests in excess of $25,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Properties at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $25,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lease Termination Payments shall be remitted to Borrower in the event (i) the demised premises under the related cancelled, terminated or surrendered Lease has been re-let in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the replacement tenant is in occupancy of such demised premises and paying full, unabated rent, and (iii) all tenant improvements and leasing commissions have been paid with respect to the applicable demised premises.

-104-
improvements, tenant allowances and leasing commissions payable by Borrower under such Lease or portion thereof remaining in the Rollover Reserve Account shall remain on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Account for disbursement pursuant to Section 7.4.2(a) and shall not be returned to Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.4.2(c), and (ii) if a Lease Sweep Period is cured pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of “Lease Sweep Event Cure” and any Tenant is still dark, the funds deposited into the Rollover Reserve Account with respect to such dark Tenant shall not be returned to Borrower pursuant to this Section 7.4.2(c) until such Tenant is no longer dark or a replacement Tenant reasonably acceptable to Lender (it being agreed that a Tenant having a lower investment grade rating shall not in and of itself cause such Tenant to not be reasonably acceptable provided such difference would not be deemed material to a prudent lender) has executed a new Lease on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender for the applicable demised premises, in which case the funds on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Account shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 7.4.2(c).
Section 7.5. Unfunded Obligations Account.
7.5.1 Deposits to Unfunded Obligations Account. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date a deposit in the amount of $0.00, which is the amount reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for the Unfunded Obligations.

Section 7.6. Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds.
7.6.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account. During a Cash Sweep Period, all Excess Cash Flow shall be held in a subaccount of the Cash Management Account (or such other account as Lender or its Servicer may require), and shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan. Amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”.
7.6.2 Disbursements from Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure and provided no additional Cash Sweep Period or Event of Default then exists, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall promptly be delivered to Borrower. Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full or the Loan has been paid in full shall promptly be paid to Borrower. If a Cash Sweep Period and Lease Sweep Period exist simultaneously and a Cash Sweep Event Cure occurs, all cash flow attributable to the Lease(s) which caused the Lease Sweep Event shall be transferred from the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account to the Rollover Reserve Account to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof.
Section 7.7. Reserve Funds, Generally. (a) Borrower grants to Lender a first- priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Accounts and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(a) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(b) The Reserve Accounts shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement. All interest or other earnings on a Reserve Account (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Account and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Account. All interest or other earnings on the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall be for the account of Lender or Servicer in consideration of its administration of such Tax and Insurance Reserve Account. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided (a) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (b) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (c) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds
-106-
were created and (d) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds). No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Reserve Accounts shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.7. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender and Servicer shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(c) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds, the Reserve Accounts or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Accounts were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned promptly thereafter to Borrower.
Section 7.8. Letters of Credit.
(a) Delivery of Letters of Credit.
(i) In lieu of making all or any cash deposits to any of the Reserve Accounts, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8. Additionally, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8 to replace cash deposits previously made to the Reserve Accounts. The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the Replacement Reserve Account, the Rollover Reserve Account and the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account, as applicable, shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate amount which Borrower is required to have on deposit in such Reserve Account pursuant to this Agreement. The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the Tax and Insurance Reserve Account shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate which Borrower would be required to deposit in such Reserve Account over the next three (3) month period. In the event that a Letter of Credit is delivered in lieu of any portion of the Tax and Insurance Reserve Funds, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of Taxes or Insurance Premiums, as applicable, and Lender shall not be responsible therefor. In lieu of making the deposits of Excess Cash Flow to the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account, Borrower has the right, every three (3) months, to deliver a Letter of Credit to Lender in an amount equal to three (3) months of funds that Borrower reasonably
-107-
anticipates (as reasonably approved by Lender) would otherwise be deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account during the impending three month period. Additionally, Borrower shall have the right to substitute a Letter of Credit for cash on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account in which event upon receipt of such Letter of Credit, Lender shall cause cash in an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit to be delivered promptly to Borrower.
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any such Letter of Credit. No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit. In the event that any disbursement of any Reserve Funds relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder (or an amendment to the original Letter of Credit to reduce the amount accordingly) and (ii) Lender, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, promptly returning such original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the applicable Reserve Funds such that no further sums are required to be deposited in the applicable Reserve Funds. Upon ten (10) days’ notice to Lender, Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the applicable Reserve Account if a Letter of Credit has been outstanding for more than six (6) months. Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount that would have accumulated in the applicable Reserve Account and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter of Credit had not been delivered.
(iii) Borrower shall provide Lender with notice of any increases in the annual payments for Taxes or Insurance Premiums thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such increase and if applicable any applicable Letter of Credit shall be increased by such increased amount at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such increase.
(iv) In the event Borrower delivers to Lender a Letter of Credit pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.8 after the Closing Date, Borrower shall have no reimbursement obligations with respect to such Letter of Credit, and such Letter of Credit shall be deemed a contribution to Borrower and shall be accompanied by the execution and delivery of a contribution agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender. After the Closing Date, the aggregate amount of any Letters of Credit delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document (together with any guarantees, other than non-recourse guarantees) shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The applicant under each Letter of Credit shall be required, until such time as the Debt has been paid in full, to waive, release and abrogate any and all rights it may have under any agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the applicant to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Borrower or any other Person
-108-
liable for payment of the amounts which the Letter of Credit is intended to cover for any draw made on any such Letter of Credit or otherwise.
(b) Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to either (a) draw upon any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part of such funds to the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine or (b) hold amounts so drawn as additional security for the payment of the Debt. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the Yield Maintenance Premium if applied prior to the Open Prepayment Date.
(c) Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit unless upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth in clauses (i) through (iii), Borrower has delivered a cash deposit to Lender in the amount of the Letter of Credit to replace such Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the Issuing Bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) upon receipt of notice from the Issuing Bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (iii) if the Issuing Bank shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower fails to deliver a replacement Letter of Credit within fifteen (15) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of notice from Lender that the Issuing Bank is no longer an Eligible Institution. If Lender draws on the Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 7.8(c) and no Event of Default exists and is continuing, then Lender shall apply the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to Borrower’s reserve obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender shall not be obligated to draw upon any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower as a result of the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn upon the Letter of Credit. Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any Letter of Credit.

-112-
may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any or all of the Properties, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(a)(vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(a) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan following an Event of Default, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the remaining Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.
-113-
(b) Following an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Notes and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until an Event of Default has occurred and Lender has accelerated the Loan. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after and during the continuation of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon the Property to cure such Event of Default, and Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect the Property or the priority of the Lien granted by the Security Instruments.
(a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Lender has commenced the exercise of its remedies in connection therewith, Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property and may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the Lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Debt, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt.
(b) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
-114-
Section 8.3. Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

(b) In connection with any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that (x) the Indemnifying Person will be liable in any such case under Section 9.2(c) only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to any Co-Lender by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Person in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document, (y) the Indemnifying Person shall not be obligated to provide the certification set forth herein or be liable hereunder if such Indemnifying Person has not been afforded reasonable time under the circumstances to review and comment on the applicable sections of the applicable Disclosure Document, and (z) no Indemnifying Person shall be liable in connection with the above with respect to any statement or omission or any failure of a Co-Lender to accurately transcribe any portion of the Covered Disclosure Information provided by such Indemnifying Person.

The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person.

(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion
-124-
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) above but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (i) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation and (ii) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt as to matters that arise due to facts or circumstances existing prior to satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3. Increased Costs Due to Capital and Liquidity Requirements. If Lender determines that, as a consequence of this Agreement or the loan made by Lender, any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy) and Lender is making the same determination for similarly situated borrowers and similar loans, then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
Section 9.4. Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Notes, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Notes, this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents, or any other

collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Notes, this Agreement, the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Notes, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Security Instruments; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of the Guaranty or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; or (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Security Instruments (in which event such deficiency judgment shall be used solely to realize on such Collateral) or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Properties.
(a) Nothing contained herein shall in any manner or way release, affect or impair the right of Lender to recover, and Borrower shall be fully and personally liable and subject to legal action, for any loss, cost, expense, damage, claim or other obligation (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred or suffered by Lender arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

(viii) intentionally omitted;
(ix) a breach of Section 9.2 and/or Section 10.21 hereof;
(x) the failure to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents or the failure to maintain the Policies required pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents in full force and effect, in each case to the extent that there is sufficient cash flow from the Properties (on an aggregate basis) to pay therefor or funds are available in the Tax and Insurance Reserve Accounts to pay the same;
(xi) if Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, in any judicial or quasi-judicial case, action or proceeding relating to the Debt brought by Lender (a) contests the validity or enforceability of the Loan Documents or (b) directly or indirectly contests or intentionally hinders, delays or obstructs the pursuit of any rights or remedies by Lender (including the commencement and/or prosecution of a foreclosure action, judicial or non-judicial, the appointment of a receiver for the Property or any portion thereof or any enforcement of the terms of the Assignment of Leases) after an Event of Default; provided, however, that there shall be no liability to Borrower under this subsection for raising and pursuing good faith actions or defenses;
(xii) intentionally omitted;
(xiii) any material amendment or modification of any Lease affecting any Individual Property in violation of the terms of this Agreement or any cancellation or termination of any Lease (other than a termination of a Lease due to the Tenant’s unilateral right to terminate as set forth in such Lease at the time of Lender’s approval or deemed approval thereof) in violation of the terms of the Loan Documents;
(xiv) the failure by any Individual Borrower to comply with any representation, warranty or covenant set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof;

-127-
extent required under the Loan Documents during the period commencing on the date Tenant notifies Borrower that it does not intend to renew such Lease and ending on the date the Lease Sweep Period pursuant to such subsection (b) of the definition of “Lease Sweep Event” actually commences hereunder.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Loan Documents, (I) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Security Instruments or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents and (II) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event of any of the following: (A) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (B) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which Borrower or Guarantor colludes with, or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (C) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (D) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Properties other than at Lender’s request; (E) Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors other than at Lender’s request, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding other than at Lender’s request, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (F) if any Individual Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity and such failure results in the substantive consolidation of such Individual Borrower with any other Person in connection with any federal or state bankruptcy proceeding; (G) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness not permitted under the Loan Documents or voluntary Lien encumbering the Properties, other than as expressly permitted without Lender’s consent pursuant to the Loan Documents; and/or (H) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer to the extent such consent is required by this Agreement or the Security Instruments.
Section 9.5. Matters Concerning Manager. If (i) the Loan is accelerated after the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) the Manager shall become subject to a Bankruptcy Action or (iii) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Section 9.6. Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other
-128-
agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer; provided, however, except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.6, Borrower shall not be responsible for the regular monthly master servicing fee or trustee fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or any fees or expenses required to be borne by, and not reimbursable to, Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for (a) interest payable on advances made by Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments (to the extent charges are due pursuant to Sections 2.2.4 and 2.3.5 and interest at the Default Rate actually paid by Borrower in respect of such payments are insufficient to pay the same) or expenses paid by Servicer or trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property (including, without limitation, payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums) and (b) all actual out-of-pocket reasonable costs and expenses, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees payable by Lender to Servicer (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result of or in connection with the following: (i) as a result of an Event of Default under the Loan or the Loan becoming specially serviced, an enforcement, refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” of the Loan Documents or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (ii) following an Event of Default or the Loan becoming specially serviced, any liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees that are due and payable to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or the trustee, which fees may be due and payable under the Servicing Agreement on a periodic or continuing basis; (iii) following an Event of Default or the Loan becoming specially serviced, the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Property (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer or the trustee may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or required under the terms and conditions of this Agreement); or (iv) any special requests made by Borrower or Guarantor during the term of the Loan including, without limitation, in connection with a prepayment, assumption or modification of the Loan not otherwise provided for in this Agreement.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party.

The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, each Co-Lender upon receipt of notice from such Co-Lender for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Co-Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by such Co-Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) each Co-Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any reasonable requests made pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents with which Borrower is required to comply pursuant to the other terms of the Loan Documents; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan, all as provided herein; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of Borrower or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties (including any fees and expenses reasonably incurred by or payable to Servicer or a trustee in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon Servicer’s anticipation of a Default or Event of Default, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing
-134-
Borrowers’ defaults under the Loan Documents), or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any other amounts required under Section 9.6; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Co-Lender and its officers, directors, agents, employees and affiliates and/or subsidiaries involved in a Securitization of the Loan (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) and any Person who is or will have been involved in the origination of the Loan, any Person who is or will have been involved in the servicing of the Loan secured hereby, any Person in whose name the encumbrance created by the Security Instruments is or will have been recorded, any Person who may hold or acquire or will have held a full or partial direct interest in the Loan (collectively, the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not a Lender Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Lender Indemnitee in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (ii) any breach by Borrower of its obligations related to the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Lender Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency following a Securitization pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and the Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
(c) In no event shall Borrower have any liability under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document for special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages.
-135-
Section 10.14. Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, any Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17. Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Credit Suisse, or any of their Affiliates may be made without Lender’s prior approval (but subject to Lender's prior review and comment) so long as such news release or publicity (1) is consistent with past practices of Borrower, Guarantor and their Affiliates for commercial real estate loans and (2) does not refer in any manner to a potential Securitization of the Loan. Any news release or publicity that does not satisfy both clauses (1) and (2) of the preceding sentence shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to disclose in any filing required by applicable regulatory agencies or any other Governmental Authority any information required by such regulatory agency or other Governmental Authority upon reasonable prompt written notice to Lender.
-136-
Section 10.18. Cross Default; Cross Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Security Instruments are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any Security Instrument shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Security Instruments which secure the Notes; (ii) an Event of Default under any Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Notes as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Notes; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 10.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations
-137-
of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein other than as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22. Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Term Sheet dated August 23, 2017 between REIT and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23. Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart that is executed by the party against whom enforcement of this Agreement is sought. Handwritten signatures to this Agreement transmitted by telecopy or electronic transmission (for example, through use of a Portable Document Format or “PDF” file) shall be valid and effective to bind the party so signing
Section 10.25. Cumulative Rights. All of the rights of Lender under this Agreement hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in such combination as Lender may determine in its sole judgment.
Section 10.26. Reliance on Third Parties. Lender may perform any of its responsibilities hereunder through one or more agents, attorneys or independent contractors. In addition, Lender may conclusively rely upon the advice or determinations of any such agents,
-138-
attorneys or independent contractors in performing any discretionary function under the terms of this Agreement.
Section 10.27. Consent of Holder. Wherever this Agreement refers to Lender’s consent or discretion or other rights, such references to Lender shall be deemed to refer to any holder of the Loan. The holder of the Loan may from time to time appoint a trustee or Servicer, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon written instructions executed by a purported officer of the holder of the Loan as to the extent of authority delegated to any such trustee or Servicer from time to time and determinations made by such trustee or Servicer to the extent identified a within the delegated authority of such trustee or Servicer, unless and until such instructions are superseded by further written instructions from the holder of the Loan.
Section 10.28. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 10.29. EU Bail-in Requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any agreement, arrangement or understanding between Borrower and Lender, Borrower, Guarantor, any Affiliated Manager, and Lender acknowledge and accept that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b) the effect of any Bail-In Action in relation to any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i) a reduction, in full or in part, or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii) a conversion of all, or part of, any such liability into shares, other securities or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
Section 10.30. Contributions and Waivers.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each other Individual Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform its Obligations and, in consideration therefor, each Individual Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among
-139-
themselves as set forth in this Section 10.30 to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Individual Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section 10.30, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any collateral of any Individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such collateral in satisfaction of such Individual Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Individual Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an Individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 10.30.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any Individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Individual Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such Individual Borrower and (b) to the other Individual Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Individual Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their Property to secure the Obligations of such Individual Borrower to Lender.
(e) Each Individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Individual Borrower to the total amount of the Obligations, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Individual Borrower over the total liabilities of such Individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Individual Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other Individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 10.30 above, that Individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be
-140-
entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each Individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the Individual Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an Individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.30 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all Individual Borrowers to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents are paid in full. Nothing contained in this Section 10.30 shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Individual Borrower to Lender under the Notes or any other Loan Documents.
(i) Each Individual Borrower waives (to the extent not prohibited by applicable law):
(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Individual Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against such Individual Borrower;
(ii) any defense based upon the statute of limitations with respect to any other Individual Borrower;
(iii) so long as the Loan is outstanding, any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Notes, this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents;
(iv) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Individual Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;
(v) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Individual Borrower; and
(vi) any defense or benefit based upon such Individual Borrower’s resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Security Instruments to be satisfied by any payment from any other Individual Borrower or any such party.
(j) Each Individual Borrower waives:
(i) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such
-141-
Individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Individual Borrower;
(ii) all rights and defenses that such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property such that: (i) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real property or personal property pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property pledged by any other Individual Borrower, (a) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which such real property collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the real property collateral is worth more than the sale price, (b) Lender may collect from such Individual Borrower even if any other Individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Individual Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and
(iii) any claim or other right which such Individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Individual Borrower that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Notes, this Agreement, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
Section 10.31. Co-Lenders.
(a) Borrower and Lender each hereby acknowledge and agree that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, (i) all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, Borrower shall be required to request such consent and approval from Column (or the Servicer, if applicable) only and not the other Lender, (ii) and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to Column, in which case, upon the delivery of same, shall be deemed to have been delivered to each Co-Lender, and Column shall be responsible for the distribution of such deliveries to the Co-Lender, and (iii) any consent or waiver from Column (or the Servicer, if applicable) only and not the other Lender shall be effective for all Co-Lenders.
(b) Each Co-Lender agrees that, prior to the Securitization of the entire Loan, (i) any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall name Column as the sole beneficiary thereunder for the benefit of the Co-Lenders, and (ii) each Co-Lender authorizes Column to, and Column hereby agrees to, act as its agent with regard to the servicing and administration of all such Letters of Credit, and in the event Column draws upon any such Letter of Credit, each Co-Lender authorizes Column to, and Column hereby agrees to, deposit the proceeds into the Cash Management
-142-
Account or into the applicable Reserve Account in the manner set forth herein. Upon the Securitization of the entire Loan, each Co-Lender authorizes Column to, and Column hereby agrees to, assign to the controlling Trustee or Servicer on its behalf) all of Column’s right, title and interest in and to each Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that is then in Column’s possession, whereupon without any further action by any of the Co-Lenders Column shall be released from any and all liability relating in any way to such Letter(s) of Credit.
(c) (i) The liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, and (ii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share. Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
