Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Effective Date, the Tax and Insurance Reserve shall be funded in an amount which, when the required monthly payments are added thereto, will be sufficient to pay such charges when due. Borrower shall provide to Lender a copy of the applicable invoices at least thirty (30) days prior to (i) the date such Taxes become delinquent and (ii) the date such insurance premiums are due. If Lender at any time determines that any amounts paid into the Tax and Insurance Reserve are insufficient for the payment in full of such taxes, assessments, levies and/or insurance premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of the increased amounts required to pay all amounts due, whereupon Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lender within thirty (30) days thereafter the additional amount as stated in Lender’s notice.

10
taxes and assessments for the Properties when necessary so that the maximum tax discount available may be obtained with regard to the Properties and to pay insurance premiums for the Properties in one installment before the same become delinquent.

In making any payment from the Tax and Insurance Reserve, Lender shall be entitled to rely on any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from any public office or insurance company or agent without any inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate and without any inquiry into the accuracy, validity, enforceability or contestability of any tax, assessment, valuation, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.

Upon assignment of the Loan by Lender, any funds in the Tax and Insurance Reserve shall be turned over to the assignee and any responsibility of Lender, as assignor, with respect thereto shall terminate. If the total funds in the Tax and Insurance Reserve shall exceed the amount of payments actually applied by Lender for the purposes of the Tax and Insurance Reserve, such excess shall, at the option of Lender, either be credited by Lender on subsequent payments to be made hereunder or refunded to Borrower. If, however, the Tax and Insurance Reserve shall not contain sufficient funds to pay the sums required when the same shall become due (with respect to insurance premiums) or delinquent (with respect to Taxes), Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice thereof, deposit with Lender the full amount of any such deficiency. If Borrower shall fail to deposit with Lender the full amount of such deficiency as provided above, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and, without limiting Lender’s other rights and remedies by reason thereof, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to make such deposit and all amounts so deposited by Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date deposited by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately paid by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by the Security Instrument and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, to the extent permitted by law, apply at any time the balance then remaining in the Tax and Insurance Reserve against the indebtedness secured by the Security Instrument in whatever order Lender shall subjectively determine. No such application of the Tax and
11
Insurance Reserve shall be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default hereunder. Upon full payment of the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents in accordance with its terms or at such earlier time as Lender may elect, the balance of the Tax and Insurance Reserve then in Lender’s possession shall be paid over to Borrower and no other party shall have any right or claim thereto. “Unintentional Non-Monetary Default” means an unintentional default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents for a reason other than Borrower’s failure to pay when due any sums payable under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, which default Borrower has commenced to cure and will cause to be cured within the cure periods provided under the Loan Documents.

So long as there is no Default or Event of Default continuing and Lender has approved (in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) the New Asset (as defined below), Borrower shall have the right to apply the funds in the Cash Collateral Account for making new, first priority mortgage loans (the “New Asset”); provided, however, that the amount available for disbursement from the Cash Collateral Account for each New Asset shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the amount advanced by Borrower for such New Asset. Lender may approve such New Asset in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and thereafter, concurrently with any disbursement of any amounts from the Cash Collateral Account, the New Asset must be properly pledged to Lender in the same manner as the existing Asset Loans, in order for Borrower to receive any such disbursement. Borrower shall deliver a request for disbursement to Lender, at least twenty-one (21) days prior to the requested date of funding, together with all information necessary for Lender to evaluate the New Asset (similar to the conditions set forth in Section 3.1). Interest (if any) on the funds contained in the Cash Collateral Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be added to the Cash Collateral Account for use as provided herein.

(b) Borrower shall keep or cause each Property to be kept free from Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws), shall not install or use any underground storage tanks, shall expressly prohibit the use, generation, handling, storage, production, processing and disposal of Hazardous Substances (except those substances used by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws), and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as this Agreement continues in effect, shall not install in the Improvements or permit to be installed in the Improvements asbestos or any substance containing asbestos.
(c) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender if Borrower or any Asset Guarantor shall become aware of the possible existence of (i) any Hazardous Substances on any Property (except those substances used by Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in compliance with all Environmental Laws), or other potential environmental problem or liability, with respect to any Property, (ii) any lien, action or notice affecting any Property or Borrower or any Asset Guarantor resulting from any violation or alleged violation of the Environmental Laws, (iii) the institution of any investigation, inquiry or proceeding concerning Borrower, any Asset Guarantor or any Property pursuant to any Environmental Law or otherwise relating to Hazardous Substances, or (iv) the discovery of any occurrence, condition or state of facts which would render any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement incorrect in any respect if made at the time of such discovery or (v) that any Property is in violation of any Environmental Laws. Further, promptly following receipt of the same, Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all orders, notices, permits, applications, reports, and other communications, documents and instruments pertaining to the actual, alleged or potential presence or existence of any Hazardous Substances at, on, about, under, within in connection with any Property. Borrower shall, promptly following written request thereof by Lender, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, and regardless of the source of contamination, take all actions as shall be reasonably necessary or advisable for the clean-up of any and all portions of any Property or other affected property, including, without limitation, all investigative, monitoring, removal, containment and remedial actions in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (and in all events in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Lender), and shall further pay or cause to be paid, at no expense to Lender, all clean-up, administrative and enforcement costs of applicable governmental agencies which may be asserted against any Property. In the event Borrower fails to do so, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, cause any Property or other affected property to be freed from any Hazardous Substances or otherwise brought into conformance with Environmental Laws and any and all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after written notice from Lender itemizing the amounts thereof incurred to the date of such notice. In the event Borrower fails to pay such costs and expenses within ten (10) days after such written notice from Lender, such costs and expenses, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower on demand and shall be secured by this Agreement and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note. In furtherance of the foregoing,
28
Borrower hereby grants to Lender and Lender's agents and employees access to each Property during normal business hours and an irrevocable license to remove any items reasonably deemed by Lender to be Hazardous Substances and to do all things Lender shall deem necessary to bring any Property in conformance with Environmental Laws. Borrower covenants and agrees, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, to indemnify, defend, protect (at trial and appellate levels, and with attorneys, consultants and experts reasonably acceptable to Lender), and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all present and future liens, damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, assessments, citations, directives, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses of any kind or of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys', reasonable consultants' and reasonable experts' fees and disbursements actually incurred in investigating, defending, settling or prosecuting any claim, litigation or proceeding) (collectively, "Costs") which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or any Property, and arising directly or indirectly from or out of: (i) the violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting any Property, whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower; (ii) the actual or alleged presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances now or hereafter, on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of any Property, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower; (iii) the failure by Borrower to comply fully with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.1; (iv) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Section 7.1; or (v) the enforcement of this Section 7.1(c), including, without limitation, the cost of assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Substances from all or any portion of any Property, the cost of any actions required to be taken under this Section 7.1 in response to the presence, release or threat of release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under, within or otherwise affecting any portion of any Property to prevent or minimize such release or threat of release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future public health, safety, welfare or the environment, and costs incurred to comply with the Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of any Property. The indemnity set forth in this Section 7.1(c) shall also include, without limitation, any diminution in the value of the security afforded by any Property or any future reduction in the sales price of any Property by reason of any matter set forth in this Section 7.1(c). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower be liable for or be obligated to indemnify Lender for Costs resulting solely from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lender's rights under this Section 7.1(c) shall survive payment in full of the indebtedness secured hereby and shall be in addition to all other rights of Lender under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Upon Lender's request, at any time and from time to time after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or at such other time as Lender has reasonable grounds to believe that Hazardous Substances are or have been released, stored or disposed of on or around any Property or that any Property may be in violation of the Environmental Laws, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, an inspection or audit of any Property prepared by a hydrogeologist or environmental engineer or other appropriate consultant reasonably approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on any Property or an inspection or audit of the Improvements prepared by an engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of friable asbestos or substances containing asbestos on any Property, as applicable. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such
29
request, without waiving any other rights or remedies of Lender by reason of Borrower's failure to do so, Lender may order the same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and Lender's employees and agents access to each Property during normal business hours and an irrevocable license to undertake such inspection or audit. The cost of such inspection or audit shall be paid by Borrower within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Lender itemizing the amounts thereof incurred to the date of such notice. In the event Borrower fails to pay such cost within five (5) Business Days after such written notice from Lender, such cost, together with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate from the date incurred by Lender until actually paid by Borrower, shall be immediately due and payable to Lender by Borrower on demand and shall be secured hereby and by all of the other Loan Documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
(e) Reference is made to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement shall be read together to maximize the coverage with respect to the subject matter thereof, as determined by Lender; provided, however, the obligations of the Indemnitors (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) are not secured by the liens and security interests under this Agreement, as more fully set forth in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.
(f) If, at any time hereafter, Lead-Based Paint is suspected of being present on any Property, Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense and within twenty (20) days thereafter, to cause a qualified engineer or other expert satisfactory to Lender to perform an inspection of the Property and prepare a an assessment report describing the location and condition of the Lead-Based Paint (a “Lead-Based Paint Report”), which Lead-Based Paint Report shall be in form, scope and substance, acceptable to Lender. Borrower agrees that if at any time hereafter it is, determined that any Property contains Lead Based Paint, on or before thirty (30) days following such determination Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations, abatement and maintenance plan for the Lead Based Paint on any Property, which plan shall be prepared by an expert reasonably approved by Lender, and be in form, scope and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender (together with any Lead-Based Paint Report, the "O&M Plan") (If an O&M Plan has been prepared prior to the date hereof, Borrower agrees to diligently and continually carry out (or cause to be carried out) the provisions thereof.) Compliance with the O&M Plan shall require or be deemed to require, without limitation, the proper preparation and maintenance of all records, papers and forms required under the Environmental Laws.
(g) Borrower agrees that if at any time hereafter it is, determined that any Property contains asbestos-containing materials ("ACM's"), on or before thirty (30) days following such determination Indemnitors shall, at their sole cost and expense, develop and implement, and thereafter diligently and continuously carry out (or cause to be developed and implemented and thereafter diligently and continually to be carried out), an operations and maintenance program (the "Maintenance Program") designed by an environmental consultant, reasonably approved by Lender, with respect to the ACM's, consistent with "Guidelines for Controlling Asbestos-Containing Materials in Buildings" (ISOPIA, 1985) and other relevant guidelines, and such Maintenance
30
Program will hereafter continuously remain in effect until the Loan is repaid in full. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower shall inspect and maintain all ACM's on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM's shall be maintained in a condition that prevents exposure of occupants to ACM's at all times. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, provided a Maintenance Program is in place, Lender may reasonably require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may specify, (ii) an amendment to such Maintenance Program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, supplemental examination of any Property by consultants specified by Lender (but not more frequently than once in any calendar year unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), and (iv) variation of the Maintenance Program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.
7.2 LEGAL EFFECT OF SECTION. It is expressly understood that Borrower’s duty to indemnify Lender hereunder shall survive: (i) any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure under the Security Instrument, or transfer of any Property in lieu thereof; (ii) the release and reconveyance or cancellation of the Security Instrument; and (iii) the satisfaction of all of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 8.

8.2 PARTIAL RELEASE OF PROPERTY. After the Effective Date, Borrower shall have the right to obtain from Lender a release of each individual Asset (the "Released Property") from the lien of the Security Instrument securing Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents in connection with the sale of any of the same to a third party that is not an Affiliate of Borrower, any Asset Guarantor or any Guarantor with the Borrower in an arms‑length transaction, all upon satisfaction in full of each and all of the following conditions precedent:
(a) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a written request (each, a “Release Notice”) for such partial release not later than thirty (30) days prior to the day on which

(b) [Intentionally Omitted];
(c) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing either as of the date on which Borrower shall request such partial release and/or as of the effective date of such partial release;

(f) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall have delivered to Lender one or more endorsements to the Title Policy insuring that, after giving effect to such release, (x) the lien created hereby and insured under such title policy is a first priority lien on the remaining Properties subject only to original permitted exceptions applicable to the remaining Properties, and (y) the Title Policy is in full force and effect and unaffected by such release;
(g) [Intentionally Omitted]; and
(h) The Assets maintain (on a portfolio basis both before the release of the Released Property and after giving effect to the release of the Released Property) a “Loan-to-Value Ratio” of not more than 40%.
Neither the acceptance of any payment or the issuance of any partial release by Lender shall affect the Borrower’s obligation to pay all amounts owing under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the lien of the Security Instrument on the remaining Assets.
Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower or any Asset Guarantor, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with respect to complying with any applicable law, rule or regulation having jurisdiction over any Borrower, Asset Guarantor or any Asset in connection with the sale of any Asset (including, without limitation, Arizona Department of Real Estate regulations pertaining to residential, subdivided lot sales), it being acknowledged and agreed that Lender shall have no obligation whatsoever to incur any cost or expense or additional liability in connection with such commercially reasonable cooperation.

ARTICLE 9.
COVENANTS OF BORROWER
9.1 EXPENSES. Borrower shall pay, whether or not the closing of the Loan occurs, all of the Lender Expenses and all other out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender or any of its Affiliates, from time to time, including documentation and diligence fees and expenses, all search, audit, appraisal, recording, professional and filing fees and expenses and all other out-of-pocket charges and expenses (including UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches, if required by Lender), all servicing fees and expenses and attorneys’ fees incurred (a) in any effort to enforce, protect or collect payment of any obligations hereunder or otherwise secured by the Security Instrument or to enforce any Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, or effect collection hereunder or thereunder, (b) in connection with entering into, negotiating, preparing, reviewing and executing this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and all related agreements, documents and instruments, (c) arising in any way out of administration of the Loan including any wire transfer fees or audit expenses and a servicing fee equal to 0.1% per annum of the original, maximum principal balance of the Loan payable in arrears on each Payment Date (the “Servicing Fee”), (d) in connection with instituting, maintaining, preserving, enforcing and foreclosing on Lender’s security interests, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, (e) in connection with reviewing Borrower’s compliance with insurance requirements (both prior to the Effective Date and thereafter during the term of the Loan), (f) in defending or prosecuting any actions, claims or proceedings arising out of or relating to Lender’s transactions with Borrower, any Asset Guarantor or any Guarantor, (g) in seeking, obtaining or receiving any advice with respect to its rights and obligations under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and all related agreements, documents and instruments, or (h) in connection with any modification, restatement, supplement, amendment, waiver or extension of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any related agreement, document or instrument, and all of the same may be charged to Borrower’s account and shall be part of the obligations secured by the Security Instrument. Borrower recognizes and agrees that formal written appraisals of the Assets by a licensed independent appraiser may be required by Lender’s internal procedures and/or federal regulatory reporting requirements on an annual and/or specialized basis and that Lender may, at its option, require inspection of the Assets and Improvements by an independent supervising architect and/or cost engineering specialist: (i) at least once each month during the course of any capital improvement project/construction at any Property; (ii) upon completion of any new or remodeled Improvements; and (iii) at least semi-annually thereafter; provided, however, that the cost of any such appraisal or inspection performed in the ordinary course of administration of the Loan during any period that no Event of Default is continuing shall be paid by Lender from the Servicing Fee, it being agreed that Borrower shall pay the cost of any such appraisal or inspection performed in connection with any Event of Default or the exercise by Lender of its remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
9.2 ERISA COMPLIANCE. Borrower shall at all times comply with the provisions of ERISA with respect to any retirement or other employee benefit plan to which it is a party as employer, and as soon as possible after Borrower knows, or has reason to know, that any
33
Reportable Event (as defined in ERISA) with respect to any such plan of Borrower has occurred, it shall furnish to Lender a written statement setting forth details as to such Reportable Event and the action, if any, which Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto, together with a copy of the notice of such Reportable Event furnished to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
9.3 LEASING. Borrower shall cause all units on each Property to be leased on market rates and in all events at not less than prevailing market terms from time to time, taking into account market standard rental concessions, rent abatement and free rent. Borrower shall timely perform all obligations that are required to be performed by the landlord under the Leases. Lender acknowledges that IMH 176 has delivered to the Sardinia Tenant the Sardinia Agricultural Lease for execution, and the Sardinia Agricultural Lease, when executed, shall be deemed approved by Lender.
All Material Leases (and expansions, renewals or material modifications of Leases, and any cancellation or termination of any such Material Leases) of all or any part of any Property and Improvements shall be with Tenants approved by Lender in writing and upon terms approved in writing by Lender in its reasonable and good faith discretion prior to Borrower’s execution of any such Material Lease (or expansion, renewal or material modification of a Lease). Lender’s prior written approval shall not be required for (i) a non-material modification of a Material Lease, such as, for example, the modification of notice provisions, or (ii) any expansion, renewal, cancellation, or termination of a Material Lease for which a tenant has a pre-existing right under a Lease; provided, however, that Borrower shall provide Lender with prior written notice (unless such right may be exercised unilaterally by a Tenant, in which case prior notice need be given, but Borrower shall provide prompt notice thereof) of such modification, expansion, renewal, cancellation or termination and provide Lender with copies of any documents relating thereto promptly following execution thereof.
9.4 APPLICATION OF GROSS OPERATING INCOME. Borrower shall apply or cause to be applied all Gross Operating Income from the Assets pursuant to the Approved Budget (as applicable) and otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.
9.5 SUBDIVISION MAPS. Neither Borrower nor any Asset Guarantor shall have any right to record any final map, plat, parcel map, lot line adjustment or other subdivision map of any kind covering any portion of any Property (collectively, "Subdivision Map"), without Lender’s prior written consent, which approval may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Without limitation on the foregoing, Lender shall also have the right to approve, in its sole and absolute discretion, any changes to or amendments of the current zoning for any Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.5, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to, and approval of, any modification, amendment or restatement of any Subdivision Map (including, without limitation, any replatting of the same) or changes or amendments to the current zoning for the Property, so long as the same does not change the permitted use of any Asset as provided in Section 9.18 hereof unless the applicable Asset is non-operating, or reduce the zoned density or permitted floor area ratio of the Property and Improvements as such exist as of the date hereof.
34
9.6 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Upon Lender’s request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge and deliver or shall cause to be executed, acknowledge and delivered, any other instruments and perform any other reasonable acts necessary, desirable or proper, as determined by Lender, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or to perfect and preserve any liens created by the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall the obligations or liabilities of Borrower be increased thereby.
9.7 ASSIGNMENT. Without the prior written consent of Lender in its sole discretion, Borrower shall not assign Borrower’s interest under any of the Loan Documents, or in any monies due or to become due thereunder, and any assignment without such consent shall be void. In this regard, Borrower acknowledges that Lender would not make this Loan except in reliance on Borrower’s expertise, reputation, prior experience in owning and operating commercial real property and mortgage loans, Lender’s knowledge of Borrower, and Lender’s understanding that this Agreement is more in the nature of an agreement involving personal services than a standard loan where Lender would rely on security which already exists.
9.8 TITLE TO LOAN ASSETS.
(a) Borrower shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, accept or record any deed or other instrument of conveyance of any kind with respect to all or any portion of any property encumbered by the Asset Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, whether as a result of or in connection with a foreclosure, by deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Lender shall respond to any request by Borrower to exercise any of its remedies under the Asset Loan Documents for which Lender’s prior written consent is required within five (5) Business Days following delivery of notice thereof. If Lender fails to respond to Borrower within such five (5) Business Day period, then Lender shall be deemed to have granted its consent to Borrower’s request.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, if Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower is the successful bidder at a foreclosure sale of any of any property encumbered by the Asset Loan Documents (whether in connection with a foreclosure or otherwise), or otherwise acquires title to or an interest in all or any portion of such property, then concurrently therewith, Borrower shall cause such property to be subject to the first lien of the Loan Documents in the same manner that the Properties are subject to the Loan Documents.
9.9 TRANSFERS. By delivery of this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges that the financial standing and managerial and operational ability of Borrower are substantial and material considerations to Lender in its agreement to make the Loan and that any encumbrance or transfer of an interest in any Asset or in Borrower whether direct or indirect, will materially impair Lender’s security under the Security Instrument. To induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees Borrower shall not effect a Transfer, either directly or indirectly, or by operation of law, without in each instance first obtaining Lender’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld for any reason, or given upon such terms and conditions as Lender deems necessary or appropriate, all within Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to the extent permitted

52
of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms.

Borrower shall forward to Lender, without delay, any notices, letters or other communications delivered with respect to any Asset or to Borrower naming Lender, "Lender" or any similar designation as addressee, or which is reasonably likely to affect the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents.
12.5 ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Lender, as Borrower’s attorney‑in‑fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Lender’s or Borrower’s or any Asset Guarantor’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Lender deems appropriate to protect Lender’s interest under any of the Loan Documents.
12.6 ACTIONS.

12.7 RIGHT OF CONTEST. Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, lien, levy or assessment by any person other than Lender which would constitute an Event of Default if: (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Lender determines is not prejudicial to Lender, and does not impair the rights of Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and (b) Borrower deposits with Lender any funds or other forms of assurance which Lender in good faith reasonably determines from time to time appropriate to protect Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful. Borrower’s compliance with this Section 12.7 shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming an Event of Default.
12.8 RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower and Lender under the Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Assets, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
12.9 DELAY OUTSIDE LENDER’S CONTROL. Lender shall not be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock‑out,
55
boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Lender’s control.
12.10 ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES; ENFORCEMENT.

12.11 IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all amounts payable by Borrower to Lender shall be payable only in United States currency, immediately available funds.
12.12 LENDER’S CONSENT. Wherever in this Agreement there is a requirement for Lender’s consent, determination and/or a document to be provided or an action taken "to the satisfaction of Lender", except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, it is understood by such phrase that Lender shall exercise its consent, right or judgment in its sole and absolute discretion.
12.13 LOAN SALES AND PARTICIPATIONS; DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Borrower agrees that Lender may elect, at any time, to sell, assign or grant participations in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, and that any such sale, assignment or participation may be to one or more financial institutions, private investors, and/or other entities, at Lender’s sole discretion ("Participant"). Borrower further agrees that Lender may disseminate to any such actual or potential purchaser(s), assignee(s) or participant(s) all documents and information (including, without limitation, all financial information) which has been or is hereafter provided to or known to Lender with respect to: (a) the Assets and its operation; (b) any party connected with the Loan (including, without limitation, Borrower, any Person having any interest, whether direct or indirect, in Borrower, any constituent partner or member of Borrower, any Asset Guarantor and any Guarantor); and/or (c) any lending relationship other than the Loan which Lender may have with any party connected with the Loan. In the event of any such sale, assignment or participation, Lender and the parties to such transaction shall share in the rights and obligations of Lender as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent they agree among themselves. In connection with any such sale, assignment or participation, Borrower further agrees that the Loan may be split into two or more loans with the economic terms materially the same as provided herein and in the other Loan Documents, the Loan Documents shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of Borrower to each purchaser, assignee, or participant, and upon written request by Lender, Borrower shall enter into such amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment or participation. The indemnity obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall also apply with respect to any Participant.
56

Borrower shall cooperate in all respects with Lender in effecting any such Secondary Market Transaction and shall cooperate in all respects to implement all requirements imposed by any Investment Party or Rating Agency (each as defined below) involved therein, including, without limitation, amendments to Borrower’s organizational documents and/or the obligations evidenced by each Note and this Agreement and secured by the Security Instrument, and modifications to any Loan Documents, provided however that such shall not materially increase Borrower’s obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Borrower shall provide such information and documents relating to Borrower, any Asset Guarantor, any Guarantor, the Property and any tenants as Lender may reasonably request in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, non-consolidation, Delaware and other customary opinions.

Lender shall be permitted to share all information provided in connection with the Loan with the Investment Parties, Rating Agencies, investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the information provided to Lender in connection with the Loan may ultimately be incorporated into the offering documents for the Secondary Market Transaction and thus potential Investment Parties may also see some or all of the information with respect to the Loan, any Asset Guarantor, any Guarantor, the Assets, Borrower and the holders of direct or indirect interests in Borrower. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under any Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any right of privacy) to prohibit such disclosure. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower. Except to the extent due solely to Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender as to any losses, claims, damages or liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or any Affiliate, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission by Borrower to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information, or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Lender may publicize the existence of the Loan or Borrower’s obligations under the Loan in connection with its marketing for a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise as part of its business development.

12.32 CROSS DEFAULT; CROSS COLLATERALIZATION.

Borrower agrees that the Security Instrument, with respect to the Assets, and the REO Loan #1 Security Instrument with respect to the REO Loan #1 Assets are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any Loan Document or REO Loan #1 Loan Document shall constitute an Event of Default under all of the Loan Documents and all of the REO Loan #1 Loan Documents; (ii) each of the Security Instrument and the REO Loan #1 Security Instrument shall constitute security for the Loan and REO Loan #1 as a single blanket lien on all of the Assets and the REO Loan #1 Assets; and (iii) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
