ARTICLE II.
GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow.
Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make
and Borrower hereby agrees to accept Advances in respect of the Building Loan as more particularly
set forth in Section 2.10.
2.1.2 No Reborrowings.
Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Building Loan may not be
reborrowed.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Building Loan shall be evidenced by the Building Loan Note and secured by the Building
Loan Mortgage, the Building Loan Assignment of Leases and the other Building Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower hereby agrees that Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Building Loan to pay or
reimburse itself for Building Loan Costs actually incurred in connection with demolition and the
construction of the Project Improvements if and to the extent that such Building Loan Costs are
reflected in the Building Loan Budget, subject to reallocation pursuant to Sections 2.1.6,
2.1.7 and 5.1.33 (or other reallocations approved by Lender in its sole
discretion).
34
2.1.5 Advances. Lender shall not be required to Advance funds hereunder for any category or line item of
Building Loan Costs in excess of the amount specified for such line item or category in the
Building Loan Budget, subject to Sections 2.1.6, 2.1.7 and 5.1.33 (or other
reallocations approved by Lender in its sole discretion). No Advances shall be made to pay for
Affiliate Fees.
2.1.6 Cost Overruns. If Borrower becomes aware of any change in actual or projected Project-Related Costs which
will increase any one or more category or line item of costs reflected in the Development Budget,
Borrower shall immediately notify Lender in writing and promptly submit to Lender for its approval
a revised Development Budget. Any reallocation of any category or line items in the Development
Budget in connection with cost overruns shall be subject to Lender’s approval in Lender’s sole
discretion except as set forth in Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33, provided, however,
under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted, or Lender obligated to approve, the
reallocation of line items from the Building Loan Budget to the Project Loan Budget. Lender shall
have no obligation to make any further Advances unless and until the revised Development Budget so
submitted by Borrower is approved by Lender and Borrower has satisfied its obligations with respect
to any resulting Shortfall under Section 2.1.10. Lender reserves the right to approve or
disapprove any revised Development Budget in its sole and absolute discretion (except with respect
to reallocations in accordance with Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33).
2.1.7 Contingency Reserve. Following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions, and subject to the prior
approval of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower may revise the Building Loan Budget to move (i)
amounts available under any Line Item for Hard Costs that are designated to “Contingency” to other
Line Items for Hard Costs in the Building Loan Budget, or (ii) amounts available under any Line
Item for Soft Costs that are designated “Contingency” to other Line Items for Soft Costs in the
Building Loan Budget. Any cost savings shall be allocated in accordance with Section
5.1.33 hereof. In no event may the Contingency Line Item of the Building Loan Budget be
reallocated to any Line Item in the Project Loan Budget. The Contingency Line Item in the Building
Loan Budget for Hard Costs shall contain at least five percent (5%) of the total projected Hard
Costs, separate from the Contingency Line Items in the Project Loan Budget.
2.1.8 Stored Materials. Lender shall not be required to disburse any funds for any materials, machinery or other
Personal Property not yet incorporated into the Project Improvements (the “Stored Materials”),
unless the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender bills of sale or other evidence reasonably satisfactory
to Lender of the cost of, and, subject to the payment therefor, Borrower’s title in and to such
Stored Materials;
(b) The Stored Materials are identified to the Property and Borrower, are segregated so as to
adequately give notice to all third parties of Borrower’s title in and to such materials, and are
components in substantially final form ready for incorporation into the Project Improvements;
35
(c) The Stored Materials are stored at the Property or at such other third-party owned and
operated site as Lender shall reasonably approve, and are protected against theft and damage in a
manner satisfactory to Lender, including, if requested by Lender, storage in a bonded warehouse in
the greater metropolitan area in which the Property is located;
(d) The Stored Materials will be paid for in full with the funds to be disbursed, and all lien
rights or claims of the supplier will be released upon full payment;
(e) Lender has or will have upon payment with disbursed funds a perfected, first priority
security interest in the Stored Materials;
(f) The Stored Materials are insured for an amount equal to their replacement costs in
accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement;
(g) The aggregate cost of Stored Materials stored at the Property is approved by the
Construction Consultant and, if required by Lender, the Construction Consultant shall certify that
it has inspected such Stored Materials and they are in good condition and suitable for use in
connection with the Project Improvements; and
(h) The aggregate cost of Stored Materials stored on the Property at any one time shall not
exceed ten percent (10%) of the maximum amount of the Loan and the aggregate cost of Stored
Materials stored off the Property at any one time shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the maximum
amount of the Loan.
2.1.9 Amount of Advances. In no event shall any Advance exceed the full amount of Building Loan Costs theretofore
paid or to be paid with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Building Loan Costs incurred by
Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) the applicable
Retainage for each Contract and Subcontract, and (ii) the aggregate amount of any Advances
previously made by Lender. It is further understood that the Retainage described above is intended
to provide a contingency fund protecting Lender against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill
any obligations under the Loan Documents, and that Lender may charge amounts to pay for Building
Loan Costs against such Retainage in the event Lender is required or elects to expend funds to cure
any Default or Event of Default, in either instance, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. No Advance of the Loan by Lender shall be deemed
to be an approval or acceptance by the Lender of any work performed thereon or the materials
furnished with respect thereto.
2.1.10 Loan-In-Balance. As used herein, a “Shortfall” shall mean, as to any Line Item in the Development Budget as
of any date, the amount determined by Lender, in Lender’s sole but reasonable judgment, by which
(A) the cost of completing or satisfying such Line Item, exceeds (B) the remaining undisbursed
portion of the Loan allocated to such Line Item in the Development Budget plus any sums deposited
with Lender pursuant to this Section 2.1.10 to pay for such Line Item and not previously
disbursed plus any Reserve Funds to the extent such Reserve Funds are available hereunder for the
payment of such Line Item. From time to time and at any time during the Construction Period,
Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to notify Borrower that it has determined a
Shortfall exists as to any one or more Line Items. If Lender at any time shall so notify Borrower,
Borrower shall, at its option within
36
five (5) days of Lender’s notification as aforesaid, either:
(i) deposit with Lender an amount equal to such Shortfall, which Lender disburse to Borrower to the
satisfaction of the costs of such Line Item prior to advancing any further Loan proceeds on account
of such costs; (ii) post an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit in the amount of such Shortfall,
in favor of Lender; (iii) to the extent permitted under Sections 2.1.7 and 5.1.33,
and following the satisfaction of the Initial Advance Conditions allocate the Contingency Reserve,
with respect to the Line Item(s) in question, to the Shortfall, and provided, further that the
amount of the remaining Contingency Reserve for such Line Item(s) (following the allocation to the
Shortfall) is sufficient for such Line Item(s), as determined by Lender in its sole discretion; and
(iv) to the extent permitted under Section 5.1.33, and then only following the satisfaction
of the Initial Advance Conditions, reallocate cost savings from the Development Budget in respect
of the Loan (or other reallocations which are approved by Lender, in its sole discretion) in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but only to the extent such cost savings can be
allocated to the related Line Items. Borrower hereby agrees that Lender shall have a lien on and
security interest in, for the benefit of Lender, any sums deposited pursuant to clause (i)
above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the
aforesaid costs as approved by Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to make any further
Advances of proceeds of the Loan as to any Line Item until the sums required to be deposited
pursuant to clause (i) above as to such Line Item have been exhausted, or until Borrower
has posted an irrevocable standby Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii) above, as the
case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back “in balance”. Any such sums not used as
provided in said clause (i) shall be released to Borrower when and to the extent that
Lender reasonably determines that the amount thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the
remaining Project-Related Costs over the undisbursed balance of the Loan, provided, however, that
should an Event of Default occur, Lender, in its sole discretion, may apply such amounts either to
the remaining Project-Related Costs or to the immediate reduction of outstanding principal and/or
interest under the Note.
2.1.11 Quality of Work. No Advance or any portion thereof shall be made with respect to defective work or to any
contractor that has performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as
confirmed by the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lender may disburse all or part of
any Advance before the sum shall become due if Lender believes it advisable to do so, and all such
Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.12 Required Equity Funds. All Required Equity Funds shall be contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested by
Borrower in the Property, for Project—Related Costs set forth on the approved Development Budget)
before the Closing Date.
2.1.13
Trust Fund. Pursuant to Section 13 of the
New York Lien Law, Borrower shall receive the Advances
hereunder and shall hold the right to receive the Advances as a trust fund to be applied first for
the purpose of paying the Costs of the Improvements and shall apply the Advances first to the
payment of the Cost of the Improvements on the Property before using any part of the total of the
same for any other purpose.
2.1.14 Final Project Report and Development Budget. Attached hereto as Schedule II is Borrower’s detailed and definitive budget of all
Project-Related Costs to be incurred by Borrower during the Construction Term and that will be
disbursed out of Loan
37
proceeds subject to availability and satisfaction of all applicable
conditions to Advances hereunder and under the Project Loan Agreement, being so indicated,
delineated by each category of Project-Related Costs (each a “Line Item” or “Budget Line”) and
further broken down to segregate Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs, which budget has been
approved by Lender and Construction Consultant (the “Development Budget”). The portion of the
Development Budget that includes only Building Loan Costs is referred to herein as the “Building
Loan Budget” and the portion of the Development Budget that includes only Project Loan Costs is
referred to herein as the “Project Loan Budget.”
2.1.15 Miscellaneous.
(a) The making of an Advance by Lender shall not constitute Lender’s approval or acceptance of
the construction theretofore completed. Lender’s inspection and approval of the Plans and
Specifications, the construction of the Project Improvements, or the workmanship and materials used
therein, shall impose no liability of any kind on Lender, the sole obligation of Lender as the
result of such inspection and approval being to make the Advances if and to the extent, required by
this Agreement.
(b) ALL POTENTIAL LIENORS ARE HEREBY CAUTIONED TO EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE
EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. NO POTENTIAL LIENOR SHOULD EXPECT LENDER TO MAKE ADVANCES OF THE
LOAN IN AMOUNTS AND AT TIMES SUCH THAT IT WILL NOT BE NECESSARY FOR EACH SUCH POTENTIAL LIENOR TO
EXERCISE SOUND BUSINESS JUDGMENT IN THE EXTENSION OF CREDIT TO BORROWER. MOREOVER, ALL POTENTIAL
LIENORS ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE
NEW YORK LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT
“NOTHING IN THIS
SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE THE PROPER
APPLICATION OF SUCH ADVANCES BY THE OWNER,” AND LENDER DOES NOT IMPOSE SUCH AN OBLIGATION ON
ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from (and include)
the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate calculated as set forth in
Section 2.2.2 below.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying
(a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b)
a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the
outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all
accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan
Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due
without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
38
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition
that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of
the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of
being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance
due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate,
as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all
previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in
reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed
to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout
the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on
account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect
and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from and including the Closing Date up to and
including December 31, 2007, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions
of Section 2.2 hereof, and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date
occurring in February, 2008 and thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall
make a payment to Lender equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be
applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the Interest Rate, for such
related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this
Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto.
Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, on the 15th calendar day of the month
preceding each Payment Date during the Construction Term: (a) if and to the extent undrawn funds
remain available for Advance under the Project Loan from the Interest Reserve Line Item of the
Project Loan Budget, and provided that that no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists
under any of the Loan Documents or would occur as a result of such Project Loan Advance, the
Monthly Debt Service Amount then due and owing shall be advanced by Lender by a Project Loan
Advance under Interest Reserve Line Item of the Project Loan Budget; and (b) if no amount remains
available under the Interest Reserve Line Item but and to the extent Interest Reserve Funds are on
deposit in the Interest Reserve Account, and no Event of Default or monetary Default then exists
under any of the Loan Documents, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount then due and payable shall
be paid by application of funds from the Interest Reserve Account. Borrower and Lender acknowledge
and agree that Lender may automatically make a Project Loan Advance or apply Interest Reserve Funds
on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account on each Payment Date occurring during the Construction
Term, in either instance, in accordance with this Section 2.3.1, without the need for
Borrower to submit a Draw Request or otherwise request such an Advance or application.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and
shall end on and include December 31, 2007. Thereafter
39
each Interest Period shall commence on the
first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end
on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month. For purposes of making payments
hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment
is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately
preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest
shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and
including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other
deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the
Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (including the
amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is
due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of
such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in
handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of
such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan
Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5
Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this
Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M.,
New York City time, on
the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by
Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next
succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2,
Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity
Date. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower
shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of
the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such
prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, commencing after the
Payment Date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date (the “Open Period Date”), or on any
Payment Date thereafter (or on any date thereafter, provided that interest is paid through the next
Payment Date), Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any
Net Proceeds, if Lender is not
40
obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the
Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to
Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a
prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan
together with accrued interest through the end of the related Interest Period and any other
sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided,
however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds
to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than
following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any
prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by
Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next
occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary
prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section
2.4.1 hereof and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield
Maintenance Default Premium.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date. If the Permitted Release Date
has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole
(but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be
made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal
to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of
determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the
Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any
prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection
therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date,
Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the
amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such
prepayment.
2.4.5 Application of Prepayments to Components. Any prepayment of the principal of the Loan, in whole or in part, voluntary or involuntary,
shall be applied (a) first, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance of the Project
Loan until reduced to zero, and (b) second, to the reduction of the outstanding principal balance
of the Building Loan until reduced to zero. Subsequent to any Event of Default, any payment of
principal from whatever source may be applied by Lender between the various components of the Loan
in Lender’s sole discretion.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance
(a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time
after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntary prepayments are
permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by
and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Defeasance Event”)
41
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the
Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the
principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date. If for any
reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall also pay
interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the Payment
Date immediately preceding the next Payment Date, provided,
however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term interest
computed from the date of such prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment
Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to
this sentence;
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled
interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the
Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Borrower shall use the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations
in accordance with Section 2.5.1(b) below;
(v) Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security agreement, in
form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender
creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations
purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 2.5 (the “Security Agreement”);
(vi) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is
standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary
qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that
Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the U.S. Obligations and
all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note to the Successor
Borrower, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the
Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations delivered by Borrower and that any
REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its
status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of
Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(vii) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the
applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a
downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect
immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued in connection
with the Securitization which are then outstanding. If required by the applicable
Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be
delivered an Additional Insolvency Opinion with respect to the Successor
Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating
Agencies;
42
(viii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the
requirements set forth in this Section 2.5.1(a) have been satisfied;
(ix) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of Borrower’s independent certified
public accountant certifying that the U.S. Obligations purchased with the
Defeasance Deposit generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled
Defeasance Payments;
(x) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or instruments
as Lender may reasonably request; and
(xi) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in
connection with the Defeasance Event, including (A) any costs and expenses
associated with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage as provided in Section
2.6 hereof, (B) reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the Defeasance Event, (C) the costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies, (D)
any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due
in connection with the transfer of the Note, or otherwise required to accomplish
the defeasance and (E) the costs and expenses of Servicer and any trustee,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
(b) In connection with the Defeasance Event, Borrower shall use the Defeasance Deposit to
purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all
successive scheduled Payment Dates after the Defeasance Date upon which interest and principal
payments are required under this Agreement and the Note, and in amounts equal to the scheduled
payments due on such Payment Dates under this Agreement and the Note (including, without
limitation, scheduled payments of principal, interest, servicing fees (if any), and any other
amounts due under the Loan Documents on such Payment Dates) and assuming the Note is prepaid in
full on the Open Period Date (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant to the
Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments
received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to the Clearing Account (unless otherwise
directed by Lender) and applied to satisfy the Debt Service obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement and the Note. Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to

Borrower shall not commingle such funds with other funds of Borrower.
2.14.4 Direct Advances to Third Parties. Lender may make, at Lender’s option, any or all Advances directly or through the Title

Lender), provided that
58
Borrower shall theretofore have received notice from Lender that such expenses have been
incurred and Borrower shall have failed to reimburse Lender for said expenses beyond any grace
periods provided for said reimbursement under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or (z) following the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, any other sums
due to Lender under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, all to the extent
that the same are not paid by the respective due dates thereof, and (vi) any other Person to whom
Lender in good faith determines payment is due and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Lender
shall be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the
same. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an
irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the Loan directly to any such Person or
through the Title Company to such Persons in accordance with this Section 2.14.4 as amounts
become due and payable to them hereunder and any portion of the Loan so disbursed by Lender shall
be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made receives the same.
No further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct Advances to such
relevant Person, and all such Advances shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lender hereunder
and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents as fully as if made directly to
Borrower.
2.14.5 One Advance Per Month. Lender shall have no obligation to make Advances of the Loan more often than once in each
calendar month except that Lender, in its sole discretion, shall have the right but not the
obligation, to make additional advances per month for interest, fees and expenses due under the
Loan Documents.
2.14.6 Advances Do Not Constitute a Waiver. No Advance shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lender’s obligation to
make further Advances nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any
Advance have the effect of precluding Lender from thereafter declaring such inability to be an
Event of Default hereunder.
2.14.7 Trust Fund Provisions. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall be subject to the trust fund provisions of
Section 13 of the Lien Law. The affidavit attached hereto as Exhibit D is made
pursuant to and in compliance with Section 22 of the Lien Law, and, if so indicated in said

Borrower prior to the Initial Advance hereunder but subsequent to the commencement of the
construction and equipping of the Improvements for items constituting Costs of the Improvement.

Document, Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes Lender to make any
disbursements of proceeds of the Loan or of any Reserve Funds held by Lender to Guarantor in
accordance with the Guaranty of Completion.
Section 2.15 Plan Review Process.
(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that neither Lender nor the Construction
Consultant’s approval of any Plans and Specifications (or any revisions thereto), nor its
inspection of the performance of the construction, nor its right to inspect such work, shall
59
impose upon Lender and/or Construction Consultant any obligation or liability whatsoever with
respect thereto, including, without limitation, any obligation or liability that might arise as a
result of such work not being performed in accordance with applicable laws and/or requirements of
public authorities or with the Plans and Specifications (and revisions thereto) approved by Lender
and Construction Consultant or otherwise. The review or approval by Lender and Construction
Consultant of any Plans and Specifications or any revisions thereto is solely for Lender’s benefit,
and is without any representation or warranty whatsoever with respect to the adequacy, correctness
or efficiency thereof or otherwise. The granting by Lender and/or Construction Consultant of its
approval of any Plans and Specifications or any revisions thereto, shall not in any manner
constitute or be deemed to constitute a judgment or acknowledgment by Lender as to their legality

4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real
property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and
clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted
Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of
the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage, when
properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first
priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the
Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments
of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case
subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant

and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.
The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the
Loan, 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 making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small
capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not
intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they
mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the
amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has
been filed against Borrower or any Guarantor in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor
any Guarantor in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors
or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any
Guarantor is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or
property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition
against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement
or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a
66

3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other

contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or
unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and
reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as a

condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

such percentage to be expressed on both a per year and cumulative basis, and (v) a schedule audited
by such independent certified public accountant reconciling Net Operating Income to Net Cash Flow
(the “Net Cash Flow Schedule”), which shall itemize all adjustments made to Net Operating Income to
arrive at Net Cash Flow deemed material by such independent certified public accountant. Together
with Borrower’s annual financial statements, Borrower shall furnish to Lender an Officer’s
Certificate certifying as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which
constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Borrower, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the

expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Expense”), then

in connection with any Securitization, (D) a completion and performance bond, or (E) a Letter of
Credit. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with
respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or
reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such
security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.

around the region in which the Property is located.
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) All insurance provided for in this Section 6.1 shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and, to the
extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss
payees and insureds. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly
limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than fifteen (15)
days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of
insurance evidencing the Policies and within thirty (30) days after commencement of the new or
renewal Policy evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the
“Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(f) Prior to the renewal or replacement of any Policy (the “Existing Policy”), any required
insurance may be procured under a blanket insurance Policy covering the Property and other
properties or assets of Borrower or its affiliates, provided that any such blanket insurance Policy
shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required
hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only
the Property in compliance with the provisions of this Article VI. Lender, in its
reasonable discretion, shall determine whether such blanket Policies provide sufficient limits of
insurance.
(g) Unless otherwise specified, all Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by this
Article VI shall, in the case of property damage, builder’s risk, boiler and machinery,

so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause or its equivalent in favor of Lender
(including Lender as mortgagee and loss payee) providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable
to Lender for the ratable benefit of Lenders and providing thirty (30) days’ advance notice of
cancellation to Lender.
(h) All Property insurance also shall include a co-insurance waiver and Agreed Amount
Endorsement. The amount of any deductible under any Policy must be reasonably acceptable to
Lender. Without the Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not name any Person other than
the Lender, as loss payee, as it pertains to the Property, nor shall Borrower carry separate or
additional insurance coverage covering the improvements at the Property concurrent in form or
contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Agreement or; provided that, if
blanket policies are obtained, this sentence shall not apply to
106
property covered by such blanket
policies other than the improvements at the Property and such tenant improvements and betterments
that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the applicable Lease.
(i) Each Policy shall contain a provision whereby the insurer: (i) agrees that such Policy
shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage, deductible, and limits of such Policy shall not
be modified, other provisions of such Policy shall not be modified if such Policy, after giving
effect to such modification, would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such Policy
shall not be so modified, canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each case, at least thirty
(30) days prior written notice to Lender, (ii) waives any right to claim any Insurance Premiums and
commissions against Lender or any Lender, provided that the Policy need not waive the requirement
that the Insurance Premiums be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the
insured and (iii) provides that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the
continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums. In the
event any Policy (except for general public and other liability and Workers Compensation insurance)
shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such Policy shall not be invalidated by and shall
insure Lender for the benefit of Lenders 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 Property 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 Mortgage or any other Loan Document.
(j) Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums for the Policies as the same become due and
payable. Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of the Policies required to be
maintained pursuant to this Article VI; provided, however, Lender shall not
be deemed by reason of the custody of such Policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof.
Borrower also shall deliver to Lender within ten (10) days after Lender’s request, a statement
setting forth the particulars as to all such Policies, indicating that all Insurance Premiums due
thereon have been paid and that the same are in full force and effect. Not later than fifteen (15)
days prior to the expiration date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certificate of
insurance evidencing renewal of coverage as required herein. Not later than thirty (30) days after
the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence of
payment of Insurance Premiums for such renewal or replacement Policies satisfactory to the Lender
and not later than sixty (60) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies,
Borrower shall deliver to Lender an original or certified copy (as required pursuant to this
paragraph) of a renewal or replacement Policy or Policies.
(k) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is maintained in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right (but not the
obligation), upon notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect
Lenders’ interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance
coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days notice to
Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems
necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All
Insurance Premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance
and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be
secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
107
(l) In the event of foreclosure of the Building Loan Mortgage and/or the Project Loan Mortgage
or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Total Debt,
all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then
in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the
purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of
title.
6.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies
authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a
claims paying ability rating of “A/VII” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. and “A- or better
(and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one
of which shall be S&P if they are rating the Securities and one of which will be Moody’s if they
are rating the Securities), or if only one (1) Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by
such Rating Agency.
Section 6.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
6.2.1 Casualty. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Agreement shall mean: (i) the net amount of
all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1.1 (b)(1), (b)(iii),

collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its
reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in
collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be. If the Property shall be
damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall
give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently
prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the
condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty with such alterations as may be
reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.
Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net
Proceeds. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by
Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance
companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of
completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and 00/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit
such participation.
6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened commencement of any
proceeding for the Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property
and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such
proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time
deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower
shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender,
its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such
proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Total Debt at
the time and in the manner provided for its
108
payment in the Building Loan Note and the Project Loan
Note and in this Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement. Lenders shall not be limited to the
interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of
the Award interest and additional interest (if any)
at the rate or rates provided in this Agreement or in the Building Loan Note or in the Project
Loan Agreement or in the Project Loan Note, as applicable and the Debt shall not be reduced until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses
of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. If the Property or any portion thereof
is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute
the Restoration of the Property pursuant to this Section 6.2 and otherwise comply with the
provisions of hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the
receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment
on the Building Loan Note or the Project Loan Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to
receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Total Debt. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Section 6.2 or this Agreement to the contrary, Lender may, in its sole
discretion, elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any Condemnation Proceeds (after deduction of
Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the Total
Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds
available to Borrower for the restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this
Agreement restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. If the
Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for restoration or repair, the Condemnation
Proceeds shall be disbursed upon satisfaction of and in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in this Section 6.2.
6.2.3 Application of Net Proceeds.
(a) Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the
Property, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Proceeds are, except as otherwise
herein provided, hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and all Net Proceeds shall, except as
otherwise herein provided, be paid to Lender. Borrower shall, in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for
Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Net Proceeds as
herein provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Net
Proceeds which do not One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Restoration Threshold”).
Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the
right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which would in
Lender’s reasonable judgment result in Net Proceeds which exceed the Restoration Threshold and
Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by
Lender to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and
expenses incurred by Lender on behalf of Lenders (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in
any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid
within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of a request for reimbursement by Lender,
accompanied by reasonable back-up documentation, in connection with the settlement of any claim for
Proceeds and the seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the
foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are
109
received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower
pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender for the
ratable benefit of Lenders and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay
for the cost of the Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof, and to the extent such
Proceeds exceed the Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and
held by Lender to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Article VI. If an Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file any insurance claim
for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days, or to prosecute same with commercially reasonable
diligence following Borrower’s receipt of written notice to do so from Lender, Borrower hereby
irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to
file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender
and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including
payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this
sentence). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but excluding all
situations requiring prepayment of the Note, to the extent any Proceeds (either singly or when
aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to the Property) do not exceed the
Restoration Threshold, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower to be applied to
restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof. As soon as reasonably practicable
after receipt of the Net Proceeds Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due
diligence: (x) the Completion of the Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the Improvements; of (y) the
Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if such Casualty or Condemnation occurs
after the Completion of the Improvements.

satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement. If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the
Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration, or Completion of the
Improvements, as applicable, is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall

than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such
land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion
of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;
(iii) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or
greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the

the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable

time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A)
all requirements set forth in Section 6.2.4(a) have been satisfied, (B) all relevant
conditions to the making of Advances of the Building Loan shall have been satisfied with respect to

(except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection
with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (D) there exist no notices of pendency, stop
orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens
of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been

insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(d) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject
to prior approval by Lender and by an independent architect selected by Lender
112
(which shall be the Construction Consultant if the Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the
Improvements) (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the
Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall
be subject to approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by
Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant’s reasonable fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(e) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess
of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of
the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term
“Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred
for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the
Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth above, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower
from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty
Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the
Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 and
all applicable Legal Requirements and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of
the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full
or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release
the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or
materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work
and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s,
subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers

or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company issuing the Title
Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the
continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for
such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(f) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(g) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the
opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the
balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection
with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds
Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and
113
shall be disbursed for
costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the
disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.2.4
shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(h) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that
the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2.4,
and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection
with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to
be disbursed in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement provided no Event of Default shall
have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.
(i) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to this Article VI may be retained and
applied by Lender toward the payment of the Total Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 whether or
not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion
shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in
part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
Section 6.3 Application of Net Proceeds. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may
withdraw all the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof and the remaining balance, if any,
of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender and may apply the such Net Proceeds and Net
Proceeds Deficiency either to the payment of Restoration or to payment of the Total Debt in such
order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to
withdraw and apply such Net Proceeds and Net Proceeds Deficiency shall be in addition to all other
rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Building Loan Documents.
ARTICLE VII.
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance of the Project Loan, Borrower shall deposit with
Lender an amount (the “Initial Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance
Premiums and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable from and after the Closing Date
through and including the date that the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit is payable, which
shall be funded from the Project Loan Advance. At least thirty (30) day prior to the first
anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount (the “Second Tax and
Insurance Escrow Deposit”) equal to the Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges that Lender
estimates will be payable from and after the first anniversary of the date hereof through and
including the last day of the Construction Term. Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Project Loan Agreement concerning Advances, the Second Tax and Insurance Escrow Deposit shall be
funded from an Advance of like amount under the Project Loan. Simultaneously with the Final
Advance, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount that, when added to the amounts payable under the
next sentence, will be sufficient to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all
114
Taxes and
Other Charges payable on the next due date thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to their
respective due dates, and to pay all Insurance
Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the next renewal of the coverage afforded
by the Policies upon the expiration thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the Policies. In addition, Borrower shall pay to Lender (or shall cause Lender to advance) on each
Payment Date occurring after the Construction Term (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other
Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order
to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty
(30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums
that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon
the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such
Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts
in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and
shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from
the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to
Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into
the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the
amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges
and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made
to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund
after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender
reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to
pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender
shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments (or,
if such determination is made during the Construction Term, Borrower shall deposit the full amount
of such deficiency within 5 days of such notice) to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is
sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes
and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits with Lender for
Insurance Premiums shall be suspended for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and Borrower provides Lender with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender
that all insurance coverages required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement are being maintained in full force and effect through one or more blanket insurance
policies (provided that any such blanket insurance policies provide the same level of coverage
which would otherwise be provided by a stand-alone policy). Borrower shall provide evidence
reasonably acceptable to Lender on an annual basis thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the
existing insurance that the insurance has been renewed and will provide notice of cancellation for
non-payment. In the event Borrower fails to provide such evidence or an Event of Default occurs,
however, Borrower will thereafter be required to make deposits with Lender for Insurance Premiums
as provided herein.
Section 7.2 Interest Reserve.
115
7.2.1 Deposit of Interest Reserve Funds. Simultaneously with the Initial Advance of
the Project Loan, Borrower shall deposit the sum of $[_________] with Lender (the “Initial
Interest Reserve Deposit”), which shall be funded from the Initial Advance of the Project Loan. In
addition, pursuant to Section 5.1.28(d), Borrower may be obligated to deposit an Additional
Interest Reserve Deposit and in the event that Lender determines in its sole discretion that the
Interest Reserve Funds on deposit in the Interest Reserve Account are insufficient, Borrower shall
deposit with Lender an amount equal to the deficiency in the Interest Reserve Funds as determined
by Lender (each an “Interest Reserve Deposit”, each such amount so deposited shall hereinafter be
referred to as the “Interest Reserve Fund”). The account in which the Interest Reserve Fund are
held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Interest Reserve Account”. In lieu of making
the Interest Reserve Deposits with Lender, Borrower shall have the right to deliver to Lender an
irrevocable Letter of Credit acceptable to Lender in the amount of the Interest Reserve Deposit.
7.2.2 Release of Interest Reserve Funds. Provided no Event of Default or monetary
Default exists and no amounts remain available for Advance under the Interest Reserve Line Item of
the Project Loan Budget, on each Payment Date, Lender shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds to
payments of the Monthly Debt Service Payment due on such date.
7.2.3 Application of Interest Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Interest Reserve Funds and if Lender does so,
shall apply the Interest Reserve Funds either to the payment of interest due on the Loan or toward
payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Interest Reserve Funds shall be in
addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. From and after Completion of the Improvements, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment
Date an amount equal to $1,375.00 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) for replacements and
repairs required to be made to the Property (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so
deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account
in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve
Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve
Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the
Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its
reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and
operation of the Property.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower
only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from
the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the
Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are a Tenant’s obligation.
116
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set
forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve
Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower
therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of
Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender. In no
event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default
or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form
specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the
disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement
includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped
by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific
items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement
for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all
Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any
Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. Each request for disbursement shall
include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or
services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in
connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to
Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each
request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion
of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of
completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which
a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement
Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower
and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment
is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may
require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the
Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require
Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or
subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than Twenty-Five Thousand and
00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien
waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all
work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that
contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the
current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier,
subcontractor, mechanic or
materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the
date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds Twenty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($25,000.00), (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant
to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in
117
advance such periodic
payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after
completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires
payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is
made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property,
(C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds
remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such
Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or
subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to
amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account
more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final
disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than Ten Thousand
and 00/100 Dollars ($10,000.00).
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in
condition and repair consistent with other first class, self-storage facilities in the same market
segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any
portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and
workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such
Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders over
Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers,
subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the
Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not
being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in
a workmanlike or timely manner, after notice and a reasonable period to cure, Lender shall have the
option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing
contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the
Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement,
upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to
Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to
Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and
perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ
watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not
from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower
and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true
and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such
Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled
with an interest and cannot be revoked.
118
Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i)
to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such
Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be
necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors,
subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to
pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the
Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for
clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which
may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or
proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and
(vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of
this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or
completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement
Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any
Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete
any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without
limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements
pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours
(subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements
and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings
relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any
Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and
subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described
above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion
of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a
monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the
Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be
conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may
require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable
to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower
shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted
by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a
part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear
of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of
this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower
to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement,
which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other
119
liens of any nature have been
placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to
the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any
other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental
Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including,
without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and
requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or
cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability
insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a
particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss
payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be
delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with
any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days
after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the
Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to
completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or
replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion and
priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the
Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(a) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the
Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Total Debt or in any
specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve
Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan
Documents.
Section 7.4 Punch List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve.
7.4.1 Establishment of Deferred Maintenance Reserve. In the event that, following the Completion of the Improvements but prior to the Final
Advance, Lender determines that any Punch List Items remain to be completed or if Lender determines
that any condition (a “Deferred Maintenance Condition”) exists at the Property which requires
maintenance or correction, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to 150% of Lender’s
good faith estimate of the cost to perform any Punch List Items plus 125% of Lender’s good
faith estimate of the cost of performing such Deferred Maintenance Condition (the “Punch List and
Deferred Maintenance Reserve Deposit”, such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to
as the “Punch List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds”).
120
7.4.2 Performance of Punch List Items and Deferred Maintenance. Borrower shall correct the Punch List Items and Deferred Maintenance Conditions in a
diligent, workmanlike manner and shall complete the same within a reasonable time period. Upon the
request of Borrower from time to time (but not more often than once per calendar month), Lender
shall cause disbursements to Borrower from the Punch List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds to
reimburse Borrower for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in order to correct Punch List Items
and Deferred Maintenance Conditions, upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following
conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least thirty (30)
days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Punch List
Items and Deferred Maintenance Conditions to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by
Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and
remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers’ Certificate (i) stating that all the
Punch List Items and Deferred Maintenance Conditions to be funded by the requested disbursement
have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal,
state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any
license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or
complete the Punch List Items and Deferred Maintenance Conditions, (ii) identifying each Person
that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Punch List Items and Deferred Maintenance
Conditions to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has
been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers’ Certificate to be
accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (d) 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, and (e) Lender shall have received such
other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the
requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement
to Borrower. Lender may condition the making of a requested disbursement on (1) reasonable
evidence establishing that Borrower has applied any amounts previously received by it in accordance
with this Section 7.4 for the expenses to which specific draws made hereunder relate, (2)
reasonably satisfactory site inspections, and (3) receipt
of lien releases and waivers from any contractors, subcontractors and others with respect to
such amounts. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account
with respect to the Property unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than
Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the
Required Repair Account is less than Twenty-five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($25,000.00), in which
case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such
disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section
7.4.2.
7.4.3 Release of Deferred Maintenance Funds. Upon substantial completion (as reasonably determined by Lender) of any Punch List Item or
Deferred Maintenance Condition, and provided no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender shall,
on the first following Payment Date, release to Borrower the remainder of the portion of the Punch
List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds held for such Punch List Item or Deferred Maintenance
Condition.
Section 7.5
Intentionally Omitted.
121
Section 7.6 Excess Cash Flow. Any Excess Cash Flow that, pursuant to the Cash
Management Agreement, is required to be deposited to the Excess Cash Flow Reserve (such funds
“Excess Cash Flow Funds”) shall be deposited in an
account (the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”)
and held by Lender as additional security for the payment and performance by Borrower of its
obligations hereunder and other the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.7 Operating Reserve.
7.7.1 Deposit of Operating Reserve Funds. In the event that, following the Completion
of the Improvements, Lender determines that the Gross Income from Operations is not sufficient to
pay the Operating Expenses of the Property and the Total Debt Service, Borrower shall deposit with
Lender an amount equal Lender’s good faith estimate of the shortfall in Gross Income from
Operations until such time that Lender determines that the Property will achieve a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1.0 (the “Operating Reserve Deposit”, such amounts so deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as the “Operating Reserve Funds”). The account in which the Interest
Reserve Fund are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Operating Reserve Account”.
7.7.2 Release of Operating Reserve Funds. Provide no Event of Default or monetary
Default exists, in the event that the amounts on deposit in the Cash Management Account are not
sufficient to make the payments required under Section 3.4(a) through (g), of the
Cash Management Agreement on each Payment Date, Lender shall apply the Operating Reserve Funds to
payments of the such items.
7.7.3 Application of Operating Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all the Operating Reserve Funds and if Lender does so,
shall apply the Operating Reserve Funds toward payment of the Total Debt in such order, proportion
and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply
the Operating Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to
Lender under the Loan Documents.
7.7.4 Release of Operating Reserve Funds. Provided that no Event of Default or
Monetary Default then exists if Lender determines that the Property has achieved a Debt Service
Coverage Ratio of 1.20 to 1.0 for two consecutive Debt Service Coverage Ratio Determination Dates,
Lender shall release to Borrower any amount remaining in the Operating Reserve Account.
Section 7.8 Reserve Funds, Generally. Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the
Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional
security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve
Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender,
apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Total Debt in
any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be
commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible
Account in Permitted Investments in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Cash Management
Agreement. Interest earned on the
122
Replacement Reserve Funds shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall
be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund. Any interest on
the Cash Collateral Reserve Funds, the Punch List and Deferred Maintenance Reserve Funds, the
Operating Reserve Funds, the Interest Reserve Funds and the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall
not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to
Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other
tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower. Borrower
shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant
any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or
encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements,
except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Lender shall
not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds.
Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions,
suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including
litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected
with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were
established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all
persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or
secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim
unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
Section 7.9 Letter of Credit Rights. Any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by Lender
as additional security for the Loan. Lender shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of Credit
immediately and without further notice:
(a) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default;
(b) if Borrower fails to deliver to Lender, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of any Letter of Credit (including any renewal or extension thereof), a renewal or
extension of such Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit; or
(c) if the institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Approved Bank and Borrower
fails to deliver to Lender a replacement Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within thirty (30)
days of the date that such institution ceased to be an Approved Bank.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in
equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of
the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of
the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting
the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein
or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees
that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to 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 and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized
upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan
Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of
any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the
Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition,
Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and
for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower
defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of
principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or
(ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of
the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan
as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect.
Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the
127
Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the
Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed
Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for
purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall
execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance
agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance
described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to
effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue
thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power
until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent
to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses
incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan
Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or
covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained
in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not
exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s
rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to
exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy,
right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may
be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX.

respect to the Property, Borrower, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested
by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered
by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the
representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(f) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender, prospective
investors and/or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization;
(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower,

spread and apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between the components in a
manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion) and modify the Cash Management Agreement with
respect to the newly created components 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, provided that the same do not materially increase Borrower’s obligations and/or
liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan
Documents.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees that Lender may hereafter convert any portion of the Loan to
subordinate financing, including one or more tranches of mezzanine debt, preferred equity,
subordinate debt or participation in such loan, subordinate to such loan (collectively,
“Subordinate Financing”), provided, however, such Subordinate Financing and the Loan following the
creation of the Subordinate Financing shall, in the aggregate, initially have the same fully funded
weighted average interest rate as the fully funded interest rate of the Loan prior to the creation
of such Subordinate Financing, but such Subordinate Financing may subsequently change the weighted
average spread and Lender may apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan and the
Subordinate Financing in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion. If the Subordinate
Financing takes the form of a mezzanine loan, a mezzanine borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower”) may
be created which will own one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests in the Borrower. One
hundred percent (100%) of the ownership and economic interests in the Mezzanine Borrower may, at
Lender’s discretion, be required to be pledged as security for such tranches of Subordinate
Financing, if any. A default with the related Loan shall be a default under the respective
Subordinate Financing. Such Subordinate Financing shall be subject to an intercreditor agreement
by and between the Lender and the subordinate lender(s).
9.1.3 Costs of Subordinate Financing. Borrower shall be responsible for all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with any Subordinate Financing, (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) including
without limitation (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of any mezzanine loan
documents (“Mezzanine Loan Documents”) and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower and Mezzanine
Borrower; (ii) Mezzanine Borrower’s and Lender’s ongoing performance under and compliance with the
Mezzanine Loan Documents, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance
requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any
consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications of or under any Mezzanine Loan Document and
any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (iv) filing and recording of any Mezzanine Loan
Documents; (v) title insurance (including any applicable mezzanine endorsements or UCC endorsements
or policies), surveys, inspections and appraisals; (vi) the creation, perfection or
130
protection of Lender’s Liens in the collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan Documents
(including fees and expenses for title and lien searches, intangibles taxes, personal property
taxes, recording taxes, due diligence expenses, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs of
appraisals, environmental reports and Construction Consultant, surveys and engineering reports);
and (vii) fees charged by Rating Agencies in connection with the creation of the Subordinate
Financing, or any modification of the Loan or the Subordinate Financing.
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in
Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”), or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or
provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating
Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure
Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate
with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material
respects.
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an
indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined
the Disclosure Documents, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,”
“Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and
Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage
Loan,” and (ii) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent
such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the
Properties, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the
“Covered Disclosure Information”) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) jointly and severally indemnifying
Lender, BSCMI (whether or not it is the Lender), any Affiliate of BSCMI that has filed any
registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in
connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of BSCMI that acts as an underwriter, placement
agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters,
co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each
of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and
Affiliates and each Person or entity who Controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”),
for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation legal
fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which
any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered
Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person
for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they
131
are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will
be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification
and reimbursement obligations provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be
effective, valid and binding obligations of the Indemnifying Persons whether or not an
indemnification agreement described in clause (A) above is provided.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally
agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person
may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the
omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered
Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading
and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement
of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against
any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the
commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person
shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of
this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such
failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve
it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the
provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an
Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person
shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any
Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim
or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any
such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified
Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are
any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in
addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall
have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise
participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The
Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for
fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and
shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and
disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is
required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable
for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall
have reasonably concluded
132
that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those
available to another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior written consent of BSCMI (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or
potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall
have given BSCMI reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional
release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action,
suit or proceedings. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend
and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by
any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought
pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any
reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the
Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on
the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities
for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on
the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such
indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the
Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as
any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2,
(A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from
any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the
Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified
Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by
the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement
obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person
is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further
agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section
9.2.
(h) The liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons
under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction
and discharge of the Debt.
133
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no
obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to
the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3 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 Note, this Agreement, the
Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be
sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific
performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize
upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other 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 Borrower’s interest in the
Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for,
seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or
by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other
Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver,
release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b)
impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for
foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any
guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder;
(d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement
of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency
judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to
commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies
against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability
and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage,
cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees
and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in
connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification
provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning
environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of
Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of
Default;
134
(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any Insurance
Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B)
any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation of all or a portion of the
Property, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents paid more
than one month in advance;
(vi) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can
create Liens on any portion of the Property;
(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected
with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure
of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security
deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the
Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such
foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; or
(viii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or
indemnification provision in the Guaranty of Completion or Guaranty of Recourse
Carveouts.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan
Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for
the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B)
the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary
petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b)
the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other
Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, in which Borrower colludes with, or otherwise
assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any
involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to
or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other
Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d)
Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; or (e)
Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any
legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (ii) if the
first full monthly payment of interest on the Note is not paid when due; ; (iii) if Borrower fails
to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity, after the Guaranty Notice (as defined in the
Guaranty of Recourse Carveouts) if Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property,
fails to provide financial information, or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request
of Lender as permitted under this Agreement, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms
and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior
written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property; or (v) if Borrower
fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the
Mortgage.

“Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement

included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement
for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as

such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any
and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the

thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under
139
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent
of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds
had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except
with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters
for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving
of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with
respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and
expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably
or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary
damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive
relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to
determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory
judgment.

the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of
furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions
requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with
Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without
limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s
ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date;
(iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents,
amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any

Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan;
140
and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (including any fees
incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a
Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any
such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal
acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may
be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(a) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all
other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be
designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any
manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any
material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
(ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder
to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and
hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law
or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy
under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by
Lender.
(b) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender
for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any consent, approval,
waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such
fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver
or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this
Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are
unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such
documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by
Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such
right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
141
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to
create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between
Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee,
beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to
the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make
the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall
under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may
be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media
intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced
by the Loan Documents, to Lender, BSCMI, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior
written approval of Lender.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and
assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and
others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under
any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation,
homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for
the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of
Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every
other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory
counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. 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 they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and
execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle
of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. 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
142
recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not
be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it
under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by
virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity
interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to
raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s
exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business
of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as
adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers,
underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders, in connection with the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s
attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that
such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated
herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination
of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties
hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior
agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation,
the Commitment Letter dated June 28, 2007 between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each
Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the
significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower;
provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings
should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to
call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and
records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c) the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation,
Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports,
including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management
report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
143
(d) the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including
any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other
than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property and/or construction of
the Project Improvements).
The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which
owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 MERS. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MERS”), serves as
mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender
and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgage and
the Assignments of Leases. MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender. If
necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender
to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and
sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release,
discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage. Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan
Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns. The relationship of
Mortgagor and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times
remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of
nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Mortgagee neither undertakes nor assumes
any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.
