(c) Section 18(a) of the Note shall be amended and restated as follows:
“(a) Nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to impair, limit or prejudice Holder’s rights in foreclosure proceedings or in any ancillary proceedings brought to facilitate Holder’s foreclosure on the Property or any portion thereof or to exercise any specific rights or remedies afforded Holder under any other provisions of the Loan Documents or by law or in equity, subject to the non-recourse provisions set forth below, to recover under any guarantee given in connection with the Loan or to pursue any personal liability of Maker or any Guarantor under the Guaranty Agreement, the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or the ERISA indemnity provisions of the Mortgage. Except as expressly hereinafter set forth, the recourse of Holder with respect to the obligations evidenced by this Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents (except for the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) shall be solely to the Property, Chattels and Intangible Personalty (as such terms are defined in the Mortgage). Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Note, the Mortgage or in any other Loan Document, nothing shall be deemed in any way to impair, limit or prejudice the rights of Holder to collect or recover from Maker (but not any member, manager, officer, director or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, with the exclusion of the Guarantors) and
Guarantors: (i) damages or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Holder as a result of any intentional waste by Maker; (ii) any condemnation award or insurance proceeds attributable to the Property which were not paid to Holder or used to restore the Property in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage; (iii) any Rents, profits, security deposits, advances, rebates, prepaid rents or other similar sums attributable to the Property collected by or for Maker (x) following an Event of Default under any Loan Document and not properly applied to the reasonable fixed and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, payments due on this Note and other sums due under the Loan Documents or (y) to the extent not deposited into the Lockbox Account; (iv) any security deposits collected by or for Maker and not applied in accordance with the applicable Leases (as such term is defined in the Mortgage); (v) the amount of any accrued taxes, assessments, and/or utility charges affecting the Property (whether or not the same have been billed to Maker) that are either unpaid by Maker or advanced by Holder under the Mortgage, except, in respect of the Property, to the extent of any of the foregoing accruing after the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Property; (vi) any sums expended by Holder in fulfilling the obligations of Maker, as lessor, under any Lease affecting the Property; (vii) the amount of any loss suffered by Holder (that would otherwise be covered by insurance and available to Holder in accordance with the Loan Documents) as a result of Maker’s failure to maintain any insurance required under the terms of any Loan Document; (viii) losses, damages and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Holder as a result of any fraud or material misrepresentation by Maker in connection with the Property or any of the Loan Documents, and (ix) the amount of any losses, damages and costs suffered by Holder as a result of Maker’s making any REIT Distributions (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii)(I) of the Cash Management Agreement following a REIT Triggering Event (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement), provided that such amount shall not exceed the amount of such REIT Distributions made to Maker under Section 4(a)(ii)(I) of the Cash Management Agreement, which amounts would have been deposited into the Excess Cash Subaccount (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) for application pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement if such REIT Distributions were not permitted under Section 4(a)(ii)(I) of the Cash Management Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the matters set forth in this paragraph (a) shall be fully recourse to Maker (but not any member, manager, officer, director or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, with the exclusion of the Guarantors) and Guarantor. For the purposes of this Section 18(a), the “Termination Date” is, in respect of the Property, the earliest of (x) the date that Maker tenders to Holder or Holder’s designee a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of the Property, subject to no title exceptions other than real estate taxes and assessments, the Permitted Exceptions (as defined in the applicable Mortgage) and such additional exceptions approved by Holder pursuant to the Loan Documents or which are otherwise acceptable to Holder in its reasonable discretion, together with such ancillary conveyances, releases and other documentation that are customarily delivered in connection with a deed-in-
lieu of foreclosure transaction, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Holder, and such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is accepted by Holder in its sole discretion (y) the date that Maker tenders to Holder a stipulation to entry of judgment of foreclosure in respect of the Property, and (z) the date Holder, any Affiliate of Holder, or any other party takes title to the Property in connection with a foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage that encumbers the Property. If Maker elects to deliver a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of the Property, Holder shall retain the right to determine whether to accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or to proceed with foreclosure proceedings and, upon Holder making such election, Maker shall execute and deliver to Holder an appropriate deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of the Property, as Holder shall have elected; provided, however, that if Holder chooses to proceed with foreclosure proceedings in respect of the Property, the Termination Date shall nonetheless be the earliest of the date specified in clause (x), (y) and (z) above, provided further that if Maker thereafter fails to cooperate with Holder in respect of Holder’s exercise of any and all remedies available at law or in equity to Holder (including, without limitation, foreclosure), then the Termination Date shall be the earlier of the date specified in clause (y) or (z) above.”
(d) Section 18(b) of the Note shall be amended and restated as follows:
