2.2 Interest; Monthly Payments.
26
2.2.1 Generally. From and after the date hereof, interest on the outstanding Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date hereof, Xxxxxxxx shall pay interest on the Principal from the date hereof through and including November 30, 2022. On January 1, 2023 and each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Commencement Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the Principal accrued at the Interest Rate during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date (the “Monthly Interest Payment Amount”). On the Amortization Commencement Date and each Payment Date thereafter for the remainder of the Term, Principal and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be payable in monthly installments (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”); which amount is based on the Interest Rate and a thirty (30) year amortization schedule. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the preceding Interest Period and the remainder of such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the Principal. All accrued and unpaid interest and Principal shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. All monthly payments required hereunder shall be paid by pre-authorized ACH debit from a bank account established and maintained by Borrower specifically for such purpose.
2.2.2 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such underlying Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.3 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within ten (10) Business Days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, operation of law or otherwise, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (or any portion thereof) (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.2.2 and Section 7.3.2(e) hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Condemnation Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1 above. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, which was not caused by the Casualty or Condemnation, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Prepayment Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.

3. RESERVES
3.1 Cash Management Arrangements.
(a) Borrower shall and shall cause Manager to at all times cause all Rents (including Rents in the nature of sums payable by issuers of credit cards accepted at the Property or on-line travel agencies) to be transmitted directly into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Borrower or Manager receive any Rents, then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Loan and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (iii) Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts into the Clearing Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept
31
by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into Borrower’s operating account at MVB Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Cash Management Bank controlled by Lender (the “Cash Management Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement (provided that, if the Cash Management Account is not open on the date that the first Cash Management Period commences, then such funds shall, at the election of Lender, be swept by the Clearing Bank into an account as directed by Xxxxxx or retained in the Clearing Account, in either case, until such time that the Cash Management Account is opened). Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Account, and/or, if applicable, the Servicer’s account, which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). The Cash Management Account and any Subaccounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
(b) Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, Borrower or Manager shall deliver a notice in the form of Schedule 8 attached hereto to each existing non-residential Tenant at the Property (the “Tenant Direction Letter”), directing such non-residential Tenants to remit their rent checks directly to the Clearing Account in accordance with such Tenant Direction Letter, and shall also deliver a Tenant Direction Letter to each future non-residential Tenant at the Property.
(c) Within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, Borrower or Manager shall, pursuant to an instruction letter in form substantially similar to the form of Schedule 9 attached hereto (or the standard form of the applicable credit card company, as reasonably acceptable to Lender) (the “Credit Card Direction Letter”), instruct each of the credit card companies or credit card processing companies with which Borrower or Manager will or has entered into merchant’s or other credit card agreements relating to the Property that, effective immediately, all credit card receipts with respect to the Property, in accordance with such merchant’s agreements or otherwise, shall be transferred instead by wire transfer or the ACH system to the Clearing Bank for deposit in the Clearing Account. Borrower or Manager shall also promptly deliver a Credit Card Direction Letter to any new credit card companies or credit card processing companies with which Borrower or Manager enters into merchant’s or other credit card agreements with respect to the Property.
3.2 Property Cash Flow Allocation.
(a) During the continuance of a Cash Management Period, all amounts deposited into the Cash Management Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:
(i) First, to make payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount if and as required under Section 3.3 hereof;
(ii) Second, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Cash Management Bank;
32
(iii) Third, to Lender to pay the Monthly Interest Payment Amount or Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, as applicable, due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.2(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);
(iv) Fourth, to make payments into the Common Charges Subaccount if and as required under Section 3.10 hereof;
(v) Fifth, to make payments into the Capital Expense Reserve Subaccount if and as required under Section 3.5(a) hereof;
(vi) Sixth, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount (including, without limitation, an amount for the payment of management fees to Manager in an amount not to exceed the Management Fee Cap) and any then-current Approved Additional Operating Expenses shall be disbursed to Borrower (or to an account designated by Borrower);
(vii) Seventh, if the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, to make payments in the amount of the Monthly Mezzanine Debt Service Payment and any other amounts due under the Mezzanine Loan to Mezzanine Lender in accordance with the Mezzanine Lender Payment Instruction applicable to such Payment Date; provided, however, if Mezzanine Lender and Investor are then under common ownership or Control, no payments under this clause (vii) shall be made; and
(viii) Lastly, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) above (the “Available Cash”) on such Payment Date shall be deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.6 hereof.
(b) The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.2(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Cash Management Account for such payments, the failure by the Cash Management Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.2 or elsewhere in the Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Cash Management Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect. Xxxxxx’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
3.3 Escrow Deposits.
(a) Borrower shall deposit with Lender (i) $0 on the date hereof on account of Property Taxes, (ii) $58,912.00 on the date hereof on account of Insurance Premiums, and (iii) on each Payment Date, (x) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Property Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next twelve (12) months (initially $0 per month) in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Property Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their
33
respective due dates and (y) (1) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable (initially $0 per month) for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof and (2) to the extent such amounts are not included in Common Charges, one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual amount of insurance premiums payable by Borrower to the Condo Association with respect to the Policies maintained by the Condo Association pursuant to the Condominium Documents (if any) (any such premiums, the “Common Charges Insurance Premiums”), in each case, in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies and all such Common Charges Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the date such Common Charges Insurance Premiums are payable to the Condo Association. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance Subaccount”).
(b) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Common Charges Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Common Charges Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Xxxxxxxx’s right to contest Property Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. In making any payment relating to Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums and/or Common Charges Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Property Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums and Common Charges Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Property Taxes, Insurance Premiums or Common Charges Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount.
3.4 Holdback Cash Collateral Subaccount. Borrower shall deposit with Lender $500,000 on the date hereof and Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Holdback Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on the Payment Date following the Calculation Date when the Debt Yield first equals or exceeds 8.5%, any funds in the Holdback Cash Collateral Subaccount shall be disbursed to Borrower. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default to apply all sums then on deposit in the Holdback Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto).
3.5 Capital Expense Reserve.
(a) Borrower shall deposit with Lender (i) $0 on the date hereof and (ii) on each Payment Date an amount initially equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the product obtained by multiplying $150 by the aggregate number of residential units of space in the Property (initially $7,750 per month) and Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Capital Expense
34
Reserve Subaccount”). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Xxxxxxxx, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment required under this Section 3.5 from time to time in its reasonable discretion to address unanticipated changes at the Property (based upon its then current underwriting standards).
(b) Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Expense Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month, and provided that the first such disbursement may not occur prior to the date that is forty five (45) days after the date hereof), in increments of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) with respect to any disbursement exceeding $150,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full if due, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, (B) lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender unless the requested disbursement shall be used to pay for such Approved Capital Expense directly (and not to reimburse Borrower for the Approved Capital Expense previously paid for by Borrower), in which case Borrower shall be required to deliver such items with respect to the Approved Capital Expense which was the subject of the previous disbursement and conditional lien waivers with respect to the requested items to be paid for from the requested disbursement, (C) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender or otherwise constituting Permitted Encumbrances and (D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request (including, if required by Lender for any Approved Capital Expense at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement exceeding $150,000, a report from Xxxxxx’s Construction Consultant) that the Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Any such disbursement of more than $25,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by direct check payable to the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.
3.6 Cash Collateral Subaccount. If a Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Subaccount and not previously disbursed or applied shall, upon the termination of such Cash Management Period, be applied and disbursed in accordance with Section 3.2(a) hereof. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time (a) during the continuance of an Event of Default or (b) subsequent to the second Calculation Date following the commencement of a Cash Management Period (whether or not an Event of Default is then continuing), to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as
35
Lender shall elect, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto).
3.7 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, and all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management System Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Xxxxxx a continuing security interest in, and agrees to and to cause Manager to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (a) payment of such Rents to Lender or (b) deposit of such Rents into the Cash Management System Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Xxxxxx, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management System Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management System Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Xxxxxx’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents. Cash Management System Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Xxxxxx. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management System Account (other than the Tax Subaccount and the Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.
3.8 Security Deposits. Borrower shall keep and hold all security deposits under residential Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and at a separately designated account under Xxxxxxxx’s control (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower. After the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Xxxxxx’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under residential Leases, to be held in an account by Xxxxxx (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the residential Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if
36
permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Xxxxxx as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Xxxxxx’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).
3.9 Pre-Paid Rent Reserve. Lender hereby expressly acknowledges that, given the nature of the type of tenants and leasing which is contemplated hereunder in connection with the operation of the Property by Borrower as student housing, pre-paid Rent will be from time to time paid by tenants to Borrower, and Xxxxxx hereby agrees that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, subject to the reserve and escrow requirements provided for below, such receipt of pre-paid Rent shall not be prohibited under the terms of this Agreement, nor shall the payment and receipt of such pre-paid Rent be or constitute an Event of Default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, as a condition and requirement for such receipt of pre-paid Rent, all such Rent which is paid to Borrower and which is applicable to a period more than one (1) month in advance of its due date shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender and shall be deposited by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Pre-Paid Rent Reserve Subaccount”); and upon the date or dates any such pre-paid Rent becomes due and payable under the terms of any Lease, such amount shall be distributed by Lender from such Pre-Paid Rent Reserve Subaccount to the Clearing Account in payment thereof.
3.10 Common Charges Reserve.
(a) To the extent Common Charges are established and payable pursuant to the terms of the Condominium Documents (the parties hereto acknowledging that as of the date hereof, no such Common Charges have been established), Borrower shall thereafter deposit with Lender on each Payment Date, an amount equal to the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for Common Charges (other than Common Charges Insurance Premiums, which shall be escrowed pursuant to Section 3.3 above) (initially $0 per month) (plus any other amounts that may be due for such Common Charges which are not included in the Approved Annual Budget). Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “Common Charges Subaccount”). If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Common Charges Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the amounts due or to become due for Common Charges due under the Condominium Documents, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Common Charges Subaccount.
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Common Charges Funds on deposit in the Common Charges Subaccount may be used by Xxxxxx, at Xxxxxx’s sole and absolute election and discretion, for the payment of Common Charges or other operating expenses for the Property. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Common Charges may, at Lender’s option, be made by direct check payable to the payee of such Common Charges.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 hereto with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:
4.1 Organization; Special Purpose.
37
(a) Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and in each other jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations.
(b) Borrower and Sole Member has at all times since its formation been, and as of the date hereof is, a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Xxxxxxxx has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under the Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated thereby. The Loan Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 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, and none of Borrower or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Xxxxxxxx and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with any provision of any law or regulation to which Borrower is subject, or 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 (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of its properties. Xxxxxxxx’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Xxxxxxxx’s performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgage, or the exercise of any remedies by Xxxxxx. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of, or compliance by Borrower with, the Loan Documents or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any court or Governmental Authority now pending or threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Key Principal, Manager or the Property, in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority, which, if adversely determined, might have a Material Adverse Effect.
38
4.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might have a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default might have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default, and has not received notice of any event or condition that with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute a default, in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the Property is bound, and to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no defaults under any such agreement by any other party thereto.
4.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer Taxes, deed stamps, intangible Taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. To Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, the Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Property and (ii) valid and perfected first priority 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. All mortgage, mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar Taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, including the Mortgage, have been paid or are being paid simultaneously herewith. All Taxes and governmental assessments due and owing in respect of the Property have been paid, or an escrow of funds in an amount sufficient to cover such payments has been established hereunder or are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. The Permitted Encumbrances, individually or in the aggregate, do not (a) to Borrower’s knowledge, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage and this Agreement, (b) materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or (c) impair Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Xxxxxxxx’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. There are no mechanics’, materialman’s or other similar Liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien on the Property. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. To Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, the Survey does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. To Borrower’s knowledge, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances affecting the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property, except those which are set forth on the Survey and insured against by the Title Insurance Policy. To Borrower’s knowledge, each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. There are no pending or, to Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, proposed special or other
39
assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither Borrower nor any of Borrower’s Constituents are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Xxxxxxxx has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons. In addition, neither Borrower, Guarantor nor any principal nor Key Principal of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.
4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might have a Material Adverse Effect. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Xxxxxxxx, Guarantor and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Guarantor and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for Taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.9 Tax Filings. To the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state, commonwealth, district and local Taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower. Borrower’s Tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and Taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
4.10 ERISA; No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate do not sponsor, are not obligated to contribute to, and are not themselves an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975 of the Code, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified in application by Section 3(42) of ERISA, (iii) Borrower and Guarantor are not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower or Guarantor are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains, sponsors or contributes to, or has any obligations with respect to, a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning
40
of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA). Neither Borrower nor Guarantor has engaged in any transaction in connection with which it could be subject to either a material civil penalty assessed pursuant to the provisions of Section 502 of ERISA or a material Tax imposed under the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code.
4.11 Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including the Improvements) and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking, building and applicable zoning and land use laws, codes, regulations and ordinances). Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has not committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause Borrower to forfeit the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. The Property is used exclusively for student housing use, retail use, and other appurtenant and related uses. Except to the extent set forth in the Zoning Report, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Xxxxxxxx, threatened in writing with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of Borrower for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property for its current use (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
4.12 Physical Condition. Except as may be expressly set forth in the Physical Conditions Report or on Schedule 13 hereto, or has otherwise been disclosed in writing to Lender by Borrower, the Property, including all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other material defects or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has not received written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards, or, if so located the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 hereof is in full force and effect with respect to the Property. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
4.13 Leases.

(a) The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll.
(b) There are no defaults by Borrower under the Material Leases, or defaults under any other Leases that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no material defaults by any Tenants under the existing Leases except as shown on the Rent Roll nor by any guarantors under the existing Lease Guaranties. The existing Leases, including the existing Lease Guaranties, are in full force and effect.
(c) To Borrower’s knowledge, none of the Tenants now occupying 10% or more of the rentable space at the Property or having a current Lease affecting 10% or more of such rentable space is the subject of any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding or any other debtor-creditor proceeding.
(d) No existing Lease may be amended, terminated or canceled unilaterally by a Tenant, and no Tenant may be released from its obligations, except in the event of material casualty or Condemnation.
(e) Except as set forth on the Rent Roll, Borrower has not accepted any payment of rent more than one month in advance of its due date, nor any security deposit in an amount exceeding one month’s rent.
(f) Borrower has delivered to Lender true, correct and complete copies of all existing Leases, including all existing modifications and amendments, and including all existing Lease Guaranties). All agreements between the landlord and Tenant or between the landlord and any guarantor pertaining to any of such Leases are set forth in writing and are included in such copies that have been so delivered.
(g) Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender or except to any prior unaffiliated lender in connection with any prior loan that has been repaid in full and the obligations under which have been fully and finally extinguished, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.
4.14 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Xxxxxxxx’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will be, greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond
42
its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower).
4.15 Ownership of Borrower. The organizational chart attached as Schedule 1 hereto, relating to Borrower and certain Affiliates and other parties, is true, complete and correct on and as of the date hereof and shows all Persons holding direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower. Xxxxxxxx has delivered to Lender true and correct copies of all Borrower’s organizational documents and except as expressly approved by Xxxxxx in writing, there have been no changes in Borrower’s Constituents since the date that such documents were delivered by Xxxxxxxx.
4.16 Purchase Options. Neither the Property nor any part thereof are subject to any purchase options, rights of first refusal, rights of first offer or other similar rights in favor of any Person.
4.17 Management Agreement. Each Management Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto.
4.18 Name; Principal Place of Business. Borrower does not use and will not use any trade name and has not done and will not do business under any name other than its actual name set forth herein. The principal place of business of Borrower is its primary address for notices as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, and Borrower has no other place of business.
4.19 Other Debt. There is no indebtedness with respect to the Property or Borrower (directly or indirectly) or any excess cash flow or any residual interest therein, whether secured or unsecured, including, but not limited to, any mezzanine or preferred equity financing, other than Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted Indebtedness and the Preferred Equity Investment.
4.20 Assignment of Leases and Rents. The assignment of leases and rents set forth in the Mortgage creates a valid assignment of, or a valid security interest in, certain rights under the Leases, subject only to a license granted to Borrower to exercise certain rights and to perform certain obligations of the lessor under the Leases, including the right to operate the Property. No Person other than Xxxxxx has any interest in or assignment of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable thereunder.
4.21 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certificates of all of the Policies, with all premiums prepaid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No claims have been made under any of the Policies, and no Person, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any of the Policies.
4.22 No Foreign Person or Prohibited Person; Source of Funds. No Borrower Control Person is a “foreign person” within the meaning of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Code. No Borrower Control Person is a Prohibited Person or receives any of its revenue or capital from business conducted in or with Sanctioned Countries.
43
4.23 Operations Agreements. Each Operations Agreement is in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor, to Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, any other party to any Operations Agreement, is in default thereunder, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. Except as described herein, the REA has not been modified, amended or supplemented.
4.24 Illegal Activity/Patriot Act.
(a) No portion of the Property has been or will be purchased with proceeds of any illegal activity. The Property is not being used by Borrower for the production, distribution or sale of marijuana, cannabis or their byproducts and to Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant is using the Property for such purpose.
(b) Neither Borrower nor any of Borrower’s Constituents is or will be held, by a person or entity that appears on a list of individuals and/or entities for which transactions are prohibited by the US Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control or any similar list maintained by any other Governmental Authority, with respect to which entering into transactions with such person or entity would violate the Patriot Act or regulations or any Presidential Executive Order or any other similar applicable law, ordinance, order, rule or regulation and Borrower shall provide evidence as reasonably requested by Xxxxxx from time to time, to confirm compliance.

(d) No party is in default under any of the terms or provisions of the Condominium Documents and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute an event of default by Borrower under any of the Condominium Documents.
(b) Xxxxxxxx has delivered to Lender a true and correct copy of each of the Condominium Documents, certified by Borrower, together with true and correct copies of all amendments and modifications thereof.
(c) There are currently no Common Charges or other charges, fees, assessments and reserves under the Condominium Documents that are payable by Borrower.
(d) The Condo Association does not currently maintain property insurance coverage as set forth under Section 8 of the Bylaws. In the event that, following the date hereof,
44
the Condo Association maintains property insurance coverage, Lender shall be named as mortgagee on all such property insurance policies.
(e) The Condo Association does not currently have a Board of Directors. The Unit Owners have appointed Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx to act as agent on behalf of the Condo Association.
All of the representations and warranties in this Article 4 and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf, provided, however, that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Environmental Indemnity above shall survive in perpetuity.
5. COVENANTS
Until the end of the Term, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Xxxxxx that:
5.1 Existence. Borrower shall (i) do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, and franchises, (ii) continue to engage in the business presently conducted by it, (iii) obtain and maintain all Licenses and all applicable governmental authorizations, and (iv) qualify to do business and remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction, in each case as and to the extent required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property.
5.2 Property Taxes and Other Charges. Unless otherwise paid to Lender as provided in Section 3.1, Borrower shall pay all Property Taxes and Other Charges. The Property Taxes and Other Charges shall be paid not later than the dates on which the same would become delinquent and Borrower shall produce to Lender receipts of the imposing authority, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender, evidencing the payment of the Property Taxes and Other Charges in full. Borrower may elect by appropriate legal action to contest any Property Tax or Other Charge, provided, however, Borrower shall first deposit cash with Lender as a reserve in an amount which Lender determines is sufficient to pay the Property Tax or Other Charge plus all fines, interest, penalties and costs which may become due pending the determination of the contest. If Borrower deposits this sum with Lender, Borrower shall not be required to pay the applicable Property Tax or Other Charge provided that the contest operates to prevent enforcement or collection of the applicable Property Tax or Other Charge, and the sale and forfeiture of, the Property, and is prosecuted with due diligence and continuity. Upon termination of any proceeding or contest, Borrower shall pay the amount of the Imposition as finally determined in the proceeding or contest. Provided that there is not then an Event of Default, the monies which have been deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section shall be applied toward such payment and the excess, if any, shall be returned to Borrower.
5.3 Access to Property. Borrower shall permit agents, representatives, consultants and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof during normal business hours upon forty-eight (48) hours’ notice (except in the event of an emergency or if an Event of Default exists) (which may be given verbally). If Lender reasonably believes that there is a violation of Legal Requirements or there then exists an Event of Default, subject to the rights of Tenants under
45
Leases, Lender or its agents, representatives, consultants and employees as part of any inspection may take soil, air, water, building material and other samples from the Property.
5.4 Repairs; Maintenance and Compliance; Alterations.

For the purposes hereof, except for Required Repairs, any alteration that (i) affects the structural elements of the Property or (ii) will cost in excess of $350,000 shall be considered to be a substantial alteration requiring Xxxxxx’s consent. Lender may condition its consent to any such alteration on (a) receipt of acceptable plans and specifications, (b) review and approval of contractors and architects and (c) Borrower posting security with Xxxxxx, in an amount estimated by Xxxxxx as necessary to cover the costs and expenses of the alteration. Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable fees of any architect, engineer or other professional engaged by Xxxxxx) incurred by Xxxxxx in reviewing plans and specifications or in making any determinations necessary to implement the provisions of this Section 5.4.2.

If requested by Borrower, Lender will review and grant conditional approvals of Proposed Material Leases or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Material Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional material terms are added that had not
47
previously been considered and approved by Lender in connection with such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not enter into a proposed Lease with a tenant that has stated an intention to use its demised premises for the production, distribution or sale of marijuana, cannabis or their byproducts (including, but not limited to, cannabidiol) or a proposed renewal (other than and except for a renewal as of right by the underlying tenant), extension or modification of an existing Lease with such a tenant without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender.

(c) Provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, to the extent, if any, that Xxxxxx’s prior written approval is required pursuant to this Section 5.9.2, such request for approval shall be deemed approved if (i) the first correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting such approval or consent is in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous (in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14)) legend at the top of the first page
48
thereof stating that “CONSENT SOUGHT - FIRST NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT UNDER SECTION 5.9.2 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 22, 2022, AND ENTERED INTO IN CONNECTION WITH THE LOAN MADE TO BSR MIDTOWN CURRENT LLC.

Borrower may from time to time, including upon a Management Takeover Event, appoint a successor manager to manage the Property, provided that such successor manager is a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement. If at any time a new manager is appointed pursuant to this Section 5.11.2, and such new manager is an Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new substantive non-consolidation opinion letter in which Borrower is “paired” with such new manager.
5.12 Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower shall at all times be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

Each such insurance policy shall (i) be in an amount equal to 100% full replacement cost of the Improvements without deduction for depreciation, (ii) have deductibles no greater than $25,000 or five percent (5%) for catastrophic perils such as wind/hail, Named Storm, and earthquake per occurrence, (iii) be paid annually in advance and (iv) be issued on a replacement cost basis containing either no coinsurance or an agreed amount endorsement waiving any coinsurance provision, and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure. Lender shall be named Mortgagee and Xxxxxx’s Loss Payable under a Standard Mortgagee Clause, or equivalent.
(b) Intentionally Left Blank.
(c) Liability insurance with no exclusion for terrorism including (i) commercial general liability insurance; (ii) liquor liability insurance, if the Property is a hotel and liquor is sold anywhere on the premises; and (iii) excess liability/umbrella insurance. Such commercial general liability insurance shall provide minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate (with a “per location” aggregate if other locations are covered under the same policy) for each policy year, with a maximum deductible or self-insured retention of $25,000; with at least $5,000,000 in excess liability/umbrella insurance for any and all covered claims. The policies described in this clause (c) shall include coverage for “Personal and Advertising Injury,” “Contractual Liability” (covering, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender as required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents), and “Products and Completed Operations.” All liability policies shall name Xxxxxx as Additional Insured on a primary and non-contributory basis for ongoing and completed operations (as applicable).

66
restoration, plus a six-month Extended Period of Indemnity which provides that after the physical loss to the Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or until the limit for such coverage as required above is exhausted, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such loss of rents or business income insurance shall be increased each year at renewal during the Term, as and when the estimated or actual Rents or business income exposure increases.
(e) Equipment breakdown insurance, formerly known as boiler and machinery insurance, covering all pressure vessels, underground piping, mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, as well as any resulting physical damage to the building improvements, including all tenant improvements and betterments and loss of rents or business income that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the lease, on a replacement cost basis and in an amount acceptable to Lender.
(f) Worker’s compensation coverage for any employees of Xxxxxxxx, as required by any Legal Requirement.
(g) During any period of restoration, renovation or construction, and if such work is excluded under the property and/or general or excess/umbrella liability insurance policies, builder’s risk or course of construction insurance on a so called completed value basis in an amount equal to not less than 100% of the full replacement cost of the Property, and liability insurance coverage on terms consistent with the coverage requirements set forth in Section 7.1.1(a) and (c) above, in form and substance acceptable to Lender.
(h) Ordinance and law coverage covering the value of the undamaged portion, demolition and debris removal and the increased cost of construction in amounts satisfactory to Lender.
(i) Such other insurance (including but not limited to pollution legal liability insurance, earthquake insurance, mine subsidence insurance,, and windstorm insurance if windstorm insurance is excluded under the “all risk” or “special form” policy) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Xxxxxx in order to protect its interests.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in clauses (a) and (d) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage as part of its property insurance Policy against loss or damage by terrorist acts, both foreign and domestic, in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus loss of rents and/or business income insurance required in clause (d) above; provided that such coverage is available. There shall also be no exclusion for acts of terrorism under the general liability and excess liability/umbrella Policies. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the policies required by clauses (a) and (d) above and/or the general liability and excess liability/umbrella Policies required by clause (c) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as stand-alone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property under clause (a) above, the loss of rents and/or business interruption coverage under clause (d) and general liability and excess liability/umbrella coverage under clause (c) above; provided that such coverage is available. Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under
67
this clause (j) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 7.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage.
7.1.2 Policies. All policies of insurance (collectively, the “Policies”) required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 above shall (i) be issued by companies approved by Lender and authorized to do business in the State, and must have (x) a general policy rating of A.M. Best “A-” or better and a financial class of VIII or better by A.M. Best (so called “Cut-through” endorsements shall not be permitted) and (y) if there are any Securities issued with respect to this Loan which have been assigned a rating by a Rating Agency, a claims paying ability rating by such Rating Agency equal to or greater than the rating of the highest class of the Securities; (ii) name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the mortgagee (in the case of property insurance), loss payee (in the case of business interruption/loss of rents coverage) and an additional insured (in the case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance) a Non-Contributory Standard New York Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Lender; (v) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of the property Policies, and ten (10) days’ in the event of non-payment of premium, and Borrower or its management company as first named insured shall receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of liability Policies, and ten (10) days’ in the event of non-payment of premium, and (C) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policies upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (vi) in the event any insurance policy (except for workers’ compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (vii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within ten (10) days after request by Xxxxxx. Within thirty (30) days after request by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxxx, taking into consideration changes in the value of money
68
over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like. Lender agrees that the Policies may be in the form of a blanket policy provided that (A) such blanket policy otherwise meets the requirements set forth in this Section 7.1, (B) Lender shall be satisfied by evidence required by Lender that the blanket policy provides the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (C) Borrower shall, upon written request of Lender, provide Lender with a complete schedule of locations and values for properties associated with such blanket policy (any such blanket policy that satisfies the foregoing conditions, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”).
7.1.3 Condominium. If, at any time and from time to time during the Loan, the insurance policies that are required to be maintained by the Condo Association on the Common Elements do not fully comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 7.1 or are not otherwise acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, then Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing and Borrower shall promptly, at its sole cost and expense, either procure and maintain or cause the Condo Association to procure and maintain either (x) “primary” insurance coverage in the event that the Condo Association does not provide the applicable insurance coverage required in this Section 7.1 or (y) “excess and contingent” insurance coverage over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then in existence, in the event that the Condo Association does not have the sufficient insurance coverage required under Section 7.1, as shall be necessary to bring such insurance coverage into full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 7.1.
7.2 Casualty.
7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction, and exercise its rights under the Condominium Documents to cause the Condo Association to restore the common elements of the Condominium, as applicable.
7.2.2 Insurance Proceeds. Borrower assigns to Lender all Net Insurance Proceeds which Borrower is entitled to receive in connection with a casualty whether or not such insurance is required under this Agreement. In the event of any Casualty, and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Lender has determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security, (ii) the Restoration can be accomplished in full compliance with all Legal Requirements to the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the casualty and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the casualty, and (3) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with any requirements under the Condominium Documents, and the Condominium Documents shall at all times during the Restoration and from and after the completion thereof remain in full force and effect, without default by Borrower thereunder, the Net Insurance Proceeds shall be applied to the Restoration in accordance with the terms of Section 7.4 hereof.

Upon Xxxxxxxx’s satisfaction and completion of the Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Lender shall pay any remaining Net Insurance Proceeds then held by Lender to Borrower. In the event that the
69
conditions for Restoration set forth in this Section 7.2.2 have not been met, Lender may, at its option, apply the Net Insurance Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt in such order as Lender may determine and Lender may declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable. After payment in full of the Debt, any remaining Net Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to Borrower.
7.3 Condemnation.
7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.3.2 Collection of Award.
(a) Xxxxxx is hereby irrevocably appointed as Xxxxxxxx’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation.
(b) Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to 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 in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.
(c) Borrower assigns to Lender all Awards which Xxxxxxxx is entitled to receive. In the event of any Condemnation, and provided (1) an Event of Default does not currently exist, and (2) Lender has determined that (i) there has not been an Impairment of the Security, (ii) the Restoration of any portion of the Property that has not been taken can be accomplished in full compliance with all Requirements to the same condition, character and general utility as nearly as possible to that existing prior to the taking and at least equal in value as that existing prior to the taking, and (iii) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with any requirements under the Condominium Documents, and the Condominium Documents shall at all times during the Restoration and from and after the completion thereof remain in full force and effect, without default by Borrower thereunder, then Borrower shall commence and diligently
70
pursue to completion the Restoration. Lender shall hold and disburse the Net Condemnation Proceeds to the Restoration.
(d) In the event the Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration, Borrower shall comply with the requirements for Restoration as set forth in Section 7.4 hereof. Upon Xxxxxxxx’s satisfaction and completion of the Restoration and upon confirmation that there is no Event of Default then existing, Lender shall pay any remaining Net Condemnation Proceeds then held by Xxxxxx to Borrower.
(e) In the event that the conditions for Restoration set forth in this Section 7.3.2 have not been met, Lender may, at its option, apply the Net Condemnation Proceeds to the reduction of the Debt in such order as Lender may determine and Xxxxxx may declare the entire Debt immediately due and payable. After payment in full of the Debt, any remaining Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be paid to Borrower.
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds are to be used for the Restoration pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof, then the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Net Insurance Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Net Insurance Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service and other reserve payments required hereunder, as reasonably determined by Xxxxxx.
7.4.2 Procedure for Application to Restoration.
(a) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds held by Lender in an amount less than $500,000 (the “Casualty Threshold”) and the cost of completing Restoration shall be less than the Casualty Threshold, the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds held by Lender in an amount equal to or greater than the Casualty Threshold, such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed from time to time upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement
71
of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Xxxxxxxx’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Net Insurance Proceeds or Net Condemnation Proceeds remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Xxxxxx to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien.
7.5 Condominium Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing Sections 7.2 through 7.4, to the extent the Condominium Documents require that all or any portion of any insurance proceeds or Awards be paid to the Board of Directors and that the Board of Directors hold or otherwise control such insurance proceeds or Awards and complete a Restoration, then the obligations of Borrower to deliver (or cause to be delivered) insurance proceeds or Awards to Lender and to complete such Restoration shall be deemed satisfied provided that: (i) Borrower exercises its rights as Unit Owner (through voting, appointment of members or the Board of Directors and any rights otherwise available to Borrower under the Condominium Documents) to cause the Board of Directors to comply with its obligations regarding the Restoration; (ii) Borrower applies any insurance proceeds or Awards otherwise received by Borrower in accordance with this Article 7 and completes the Restoration of any portions of the Property that the Board of Directors is not required to restore; and (iii) Borrower complies with any requirements applicable to Borrower as Unit Owner under the Condominium Documents in order to enable Lender to obtain all rights to which mortgagees of commercial units in the Condominium are entitled under the Condominium Documents with respect to the insurance proceeds and Awards and other matters described in this Article 7; provided, however, that if the Condominium Documents are hereafter terminated, the provisions of this Section 7.5 shall automatically cease to be of any force or effect.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its 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 in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Xxxxxxxx agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance.
(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Xxxxxx in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of Principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding Principal, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Principal as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens 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 Xxxxxx, a severance agreement and such other documents as Xxxxxx 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 such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
75
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Xxxxxx shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management System Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Xxxxxx’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
9. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
9.1 Sale of Mortgage. Subject to Section 9.4 below, Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan, or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization, and which may also include the issuance of collateralized debt obligations, collateralized loan obligations and collateralized mortgage obligations (the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are each hereinafter referred to as a “Secondary Market Transaction” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”. Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”). At Lender’s election, each note and/or component comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, or investor in the Loan or in the Securities (collectively, “Loan Investors”) or any prospective Loan Investor or any Rating Agency rating the Securities, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, any Guarantor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable.
9.2 Cooperation. Subject to Section 9.4 below, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender, prospective Loan Investors, and the Rating Agencies in furnishing such information and providing such other assistance, reports and legal opinions as Lender may reasonably request in connection with any such transaction. In addition, Xxxxxxxx acknowledges that Lender may release or disclose to prospective Loan Investors and the Rating Agencies originals or copies of the Loan
76
Documents, the Guaranty, if any, title information, engineering reports, financial statements, operating statements, appraisals, Leases, rent rolls, and all other materials, documents and information in Lender’s possession or which Xxxxxx is entitled to receive under the Loan Documents, and the Guaranty, if any, with respect to the Loan, Borrower, any Guarantor or the Property. Borrower shall also furnish to prospective Loan Investors or the Rating Agencies all information reasonably requested by Xxxxxx or requested by any prospective Loan Investor or Rating Agency in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest concerning (a) the Property, (b) the Leases, and (c) the financial condition of Borrower or any Guarantor.
9.3 Severance of Loan. Subject to Section 9.4 below, Lender, without in any way limiting Xxxxxx’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components), (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure) (provided that, while the existing Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, Lender shall not create an additional mezzanine loan), in each such case described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines, and (v) modify the Loan Documents with respect to the newly created Notes or components of the Note or Notes such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such amendment described above shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan, or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification (provided, however, that it is agreed that partial prepayments of principal, (i) resulting from a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment or (ii) made during the continuance of an Event of Default, may cause the weighted average Interest Rate to change over time due to the non-pro rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, participations or counterparts). If requested by Xxxxxx, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.
77
9.4 Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall not be required to incur any material costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under this Article 9, other than expenses of Xxxxxxxx’s counsel, accountants and consultants.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the 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 and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Xxxxxxxx’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender.

(h) the failure to pay Property Taxes, provided Borrower shall not be liable (i) to the extent funds to pay such amounts are available in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount, Lender is otherwise obligated to (and has the right to) make such payments, and Lender failed to pay same, or (ii) if Gross Income from Operations are insufficient to pay same;
(i) subject to Borrower’s right to contest in accordance with the Loan Documents, the failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges incurred by Borrower that can create Liens on any portion of the Property (provided, there shall be no liability under this clause (i) to the extent caused by (x) a failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges due to insufficient Gross Income from Operations having been generated from the Property or (y) if reserve funds held by Xxxxxx and specifically allocated for such amount have not been made available to Borrower by Lender to pay such outstanding amounts in violation of this Agreement);
(j) any security deposits (including letters of credit), advance deposits or any other deposits collected by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents;

If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Xxxxxxxx agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages in respect of such claim, and Xxxxxxxx’s sole remedy with respect to such claim shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment (in addition to other defenses to the extent expressly permitted hereunder) unless Xxxxxx’s actions are arbitrary and capricious (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction). Any action or proceeding to determine whether Xxxxxx has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment (in addition to other defenses to the extent expressly permitted hereunder). Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf in accordance with the rights granted to Lender in the Loan Documents, except to the extent of any Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, and without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Any assignee of Xxxxxx’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, 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
85
such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, a loan purchaser, Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Xxxxxxxx’s approval; provided, however, all news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to Fortress shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, public filings that Guarantor is required by applicable law to file shall not be considered to violate this Section 10.16 or require the consent of Lender.
10.17 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Xxxxxx’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Xxxxxx shall be credited against the Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the
86
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 Xxxxxx’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Xxxxxx 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.
10.19 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx intend that the relationships created under the 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 Xxxxxxxx and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Xxxxxx and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document 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 therein.
10.20 Prepayment Premium. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal become due and owing to Lender on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date (including any payments due under the Guaranty, to the extent applicable), for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary, including as a result of any acceleration of the Loan pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise or after an Event of Default, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Xxxxxxxx agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 2.3.2 or Article 7 hereof, during the continuance of an Event of Default and/or at any time from and after the acceleration of the Debt by the terms of this Agreement, operation of law or otherwise, any payments of Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, shall include the Prepayment Premium applicable to such Principal; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed to imply that the Loan may be voluntarily prepaid in any manner or under any circumstance other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Such Prepayment Premium shall be required together with such repayment of Principal whether payment is made by Borrower, by Guarantor (if applicable pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty) or by any other Person on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Xxxxxx at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Prepayment Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Xxxxxxxx also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Prepayment Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific
87
material part of the consideration given by Xxxxxxxx to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
10.21 Assignments and Participations.
(a) In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Xxxxxx and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
(b) If Xxxxxx sells a participation interest in the Loan, Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Xxxxxx shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
(c) Lender or its designee, acting for this purpose solely as a non-fiduciary agent of Xxxxxxxx, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
10.22 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Xxxxxxxx, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or
88
different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.
10.24 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Xxxxxx agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
10.25 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument. Documents executed, scanned (in .PDF or similar reprographic format), and/or executed electronically using electronic signature software in accordance with the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, Title 15, United States Code, Sections 7001 et seq., the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act and any applicable state law (collectively, the “E-Signature Laws”) (each a method of “Electronic Execution”) and transmitted electronically shall be deemed original signatures for purposes of this Agreement and all matters related thereto, with such Electronic Execution having the same legal and binding effect as original signatures. Any document accepted, executed or agreed to in conformity with such E-Signature Laws will be binding on all parties as if the same were physically executed. Therefore, the Parties (a) consent to the Electronic Execution of this Agreement and the use of electronic signatures, (b) intend to be bound by the signatures on any document delivered via Electronic Execution, (c) are aware that the other party will rely on such Electronic Execution and (d) waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on an Electronic Execution of this Agreement.
10.26 Negation of Implied Right to Cure Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents providing that certain rights, remedies or privileges are only available to Lender during the “continuance” of an Event of Default (or words of similar import), Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that it does not have the right to cure an Event of Default once the same has occurred under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender has delivered Borrower written notice of such Event of Default, in each case without the consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld, delayed or denied by Xxxxxx in its sole and absolute discretion.
10.27 Other Business Activities. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P., each of which have interests in a variety of investment vehicles and
89
portfolio companies, some of whom may have business relationships with Borrower or its Affiliates, (b) none of the provisions of this Agreement shall in any way limit the activities of The Blackstone Group L.P. and its Affiliates, investment vehicles or portfolio companies who are not parties to this Agreement (collectively, the “Other Entities”), and (c) the business activities of the Other Entities shall not affect Borrower’s obligations and liabilities hereunder.
10.28 Certain Payments From Mezzanine Lender. Xxxxxx has advised Borrower that, pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, Mezzanine Lender may be required in certain circumstances to turn over to Lender certain payments received by Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx from Mezzanine Borrower or from Guarantor. If Mezzanine Lender turns over any such payments to Lender, then, (a) upon notice to Borrower of any such turn over and the amount thereof, the amount of such payments shall be deemed to have been contributed as a capital contribution from Mezzanine Borrower to Borrower and then paid by Borrower to Lender on account of the Loan, and (b) Lender shall apply such amount as an optional prepayment in accordance with the Section 2.3.3 hereof.
10.29 Lead Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, if at any time there are multiple Lenders hereunder, such Xxxxxxx shall deliver a written notice to Borrower designating one lender as the “Lead Lender” (such Xxxxxx, at all times thereafter and until resignation or replacement of such Lender by written notice to Xxxxxxxx, the “Lead Lender”). As of the date hereof, the initial Lead Lender is American General Life Insurance Company, and such initial Lead Lender (or one of its Affiliates) shall continue to be the “Lead Lender” hereunder; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply after the earlier to occur of (a) such initial Lead Lender (or one of its Affiliates) no longer holding any portion of the Loan, and (b) the occurrence of any Event of Default. Each Lender hereby appoints Lead Lender to serve as non-fiduciary administrative agent and collateral agent for all Lenders and hereby agrees that Lead Lender shall be the sole party authorized to grant or withhold consents or approvals hereunder on behalf of the Lenders (subject, in each case, to appointment of a servicer to receive such notices, requests and other communications and/or to grant or withhold consents or approvals, as the case may be). No Lender shall have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any one or more co-lender agreements may at any time be entered into between the Lenders (each, a “Co-Lender Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, Lenders shall agree upon rights of Lenders as among themselves and the manner in which Lead Lender shall administer the Loan. Any Co-Lender Agreement will be solely for the benefit of the Lenders, and neither Borrower nor Guarantor nor any other Person shall be a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions therein, or have any rights thereunder or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. None of Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor shall have the right to acquire a portion of the Loan or any mezzanine loan created pursuant to Section 9.3 hereof, and, in furtherance thereof, any Co-Lender Agreement, intercreditor agreement, or other agreement by and among Lenders and/or holders of the Loan and/or any mezzanine loan may restrict such Person’s rights with respect to the Loan and/or any mezzanine loan (including restricting their decision-making and voting rights). No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates the contents of any Co-Lender Agreement. Borrower and Guarantors obligations under the Loan
90
Documents are and will be independent of any Co-Lender Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the provisions thereof (although Borrower acknowledges that with respect to certain approvals, calculations and other decisions hereunder, any Co-Lender Agreement may require Lead Lender to consult with or receive the approval of one or more Lenders prior to providing its own approval or determination regarding the same).
