Borrowers shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section 2.3.2, Section 2.3.3 and Section 2.4 below. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; second, to Principal; and third, to and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is
22 | ||
|
accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each, a "Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment"), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.
2.3.3 Defeasance
(a) Conditions to Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrowers shall have the right on any Payment Date after the Lockout Release Date and prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the entire amount of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (a "Defeasance Event"), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(1) Borrowers shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice specifying a Payment Date (the "Defeasance Date") on which the Defeasance Event is expected to occur.
(2) Borrowers shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of interest due on the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date and (B) all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(3) Borrowers shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.3.3;
(4) Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral;
(5) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrowers that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications,
23 | ||
|
assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that (i) Lender has a legal and valid perfected security interest in the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) if a securitization has occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such 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 a Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.3.3, (iii) the Defeasance Event will not result in a significant modification and will not be an exchange of the Note for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iv) delivery of the Defeasance Collateral and the grant of a security interest therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law and (v) a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower;
(6) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies a Rating Comfort Letter as to the Defeasance Event;
(7) Borrowers shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied;
(8) Borrowers shall deliver an agreed upon procedures letter from a "big four" or other nationally recognized public accounting firm acceptable to Lender (or any other accounting firm that is reputable and experienced in preparing such procedure letters and reports and reasonably acceptable to Lender) verifying that the Defeasance Collateral will generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments, (ii) the revenue from the Defeasance Collateral will be applied within four months of receipt towards payments of Debt Service, (iii) the securities that comprise the Defeasance Collateral are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption and (iv) the interest income to Borrowers (or the Successor Borrower, if applicable) from the Defeasance Collateral will not in any tax year materially exceed the interest expense associated with the defeased Loan;
(9) Borrowers shall deliver such other certificates, opinions, documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and
(10) Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and expenses.
(b) Defeasance Collateral Account
. On or before the date on which Borrowers deliver the Defeasance Collateral, Borrowers shall open at any Eligible Institution the defeasance collateral account (the "Defeasance Collateral Account") which shall at all times be an Eligible Account. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender on each Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to Principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or Principal shall be retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for the Loan. Borrowers shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter an agreement with Borrowers and Lender, satisfactory to Lender
24 | ||
|
in its sole discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. The Successor Borrower shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued on Defeasance Collateral for federal, state and local income tax purposes in its income tax return. Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral Account. Neither Borrower (provided that a Successor Borrower has assumed the Loan) nor Lender shall in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.
(c) Successor Borrower. In connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.3.3, Borrowers shall, if required by the Rating Agencies or if Borrowers elect to do so, establish or designate a successor entity (the "Successor Borrower") which shall be a Single Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity and which shall be approved by the Rating Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower may, at Borrowers’ option, be an Affiliate of Borrowers unless the Rating Agencies shall require otherwise. Borrowers shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, together with the Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrowers shall be relieved of their obligations under the Debt and the Loan Documents (other than those obligations which are expressly stated to survive the payment in full of the Loan). Borrowers shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement (unless such requirement shall be waived by the applicable Rating Agencies). Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.
2.3.4 Optional Prepayments. From and after the third Payment Date prior to the Stated Maturity Date (the "Permitted Prepayment Date"), Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Principal in whole but not in part, provided that Borrowers give Lender at least 15 days’ prior written notice thereof. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrowers shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not including, the next Payment Date. Any such prepayment shall be made without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.3.5 Prepayments After Default. If after an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrowers, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.3.1 and Borrowers, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Yield Maintenance Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Section 2.4 Release of Property
.
2.4.1 Release on Defeasance. If Borrowers have elected to defease the Note and the requirements of Section 2.3.3 and this Section 2.4 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrowers shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to
25 | ||
|
the Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located. In addition, Borrowers shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrowers in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrowers shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.
2.4.2 Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrowers, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrowers, assign to Borrowers’ designee (without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released.
Section 2.5 Payments and Computations
.
2.5.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrowers shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrowers. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrowers on the date on which it is due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender (within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor) an amount equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the "Late Payment Charge"), 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. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 3
CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES
Section 3.1 Cash Management Arrangements
. Borrowers shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by non-residential tenants of the Property into an Eligible Account (the "Clearing Account") maintained by Borrowers at a local bank selected by Borrowers, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the "Clearing Bank") as more fully described in the
26 | ||
|
Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by any Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within one Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the applicable Clearing Bank on a daily basis into the Borrowers’ operating account at such Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the "Deposit Account") and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as "Subaccounts"). The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrowers shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrowers shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
Section 3.2 Required Repairs
.
3.2.1 Completion of Required Repairs. Borrowers shall perform and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial work at the Property described in the "Category 1 Immediate" column set forth on Schedule 1 (the "Required Repairs") within six (6) months of the date hereof or such shorter period of time for such item set forth on Schedule 1.
3.2.2 Required Repairs Reserves. Borrowers shall deposit with Lender on the date hereof the sum of $305,875 which shall be held by Lender for Required Repairs and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount (the "Required Repairs Subaccount"). Lender shall make disbursements from the Required Repairs Subaccount as requested by Borrowers, and approved by Lender in its sole discretion, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period of no less than $1,000.00 upon delivery by Borrowers of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender for requests in excess of $50,000.00 for a single item, conditional lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment. Lender may issue joint checks payable to Borrowers (or any Borrower) and the contractor or other person to whom payment is due with respect to any requested payment. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of repairs of items in excess of $50,000.00 for which reimbursement or payment is sought. Upon completion of Required Repairs, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender shall disburse to Borrowers any and all funds remaining on deposit in the Required Repairs Subaccount.
Section 3.3 Taxes and Insurance
3.3.1 . Borrowers shall pay to Lender (i) (A) on the date hereof, an amount equal to $496,220 and (B) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes 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 at least thirty (30) days prior to their Delinquency Date, and (ii) (A) on the date hereof, an amount equal to $139,078.00 (the "Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Installment") and (B) (1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (2) with respect to any
27 | ||
|
Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth 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 (i) and (ii) above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Impound Fund"). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the "Tax and Insurance Subaccount"). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1 hereof and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Impound 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 Impound Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund shall become part of the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund and shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 3.3. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrowers shall provide, at Borrowers’ expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the Term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.3, with respect to the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit, and the required monthly payments required under clause (ii) above through the end of the current policy year, the parties agree as follows: For the period from the date hereof through August 1, 2005, the Property will be covered by a blanket insurance policy as described in Section 7.1.4, but instead of participating in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, Borrowers will pay their allocable share of the Insurance Premiums in a single installment, due approximately 30 days after the date hereof. Borrowers’ allocable share of the annual Insurance Premiums for the blanket policy for the period from the date hereof through August 1, 2005 is the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit. Borrowers have deposited the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund on the date hereof (as set forth in clause (ii)(A) in the immediately preceding paragraph); Borrowers will notify Lender in writing at least ten (10) days in advance of the date when such Insurance Premium is due, whereupon Lender will apply such amount to the payment of Borrowers’ allocable share of the blanket policy Insurance Premium. On the Payment Dates in May, June and July of 2005, Borrowers will pay to Lender for deposit in the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund the sum of $22,877.68 per month. On each Payment Date commencing with the
28 | ||
|
Payment Date occurring in August, 2005, Borrowers shall make payments into the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund as set forth in the preceding paragraph.
Section 3.4 Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount
. Borrowers shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the "Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount") in accordance with the provisions of Article 7. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7.
Section 3.5 Security Deposits
. Borrowers shall keep all security deposits under Leases at a separately designated account under Borrowers’ control at the Clearing Bank (and in the case of a letter of credit, assigned with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of a Borrower (such account, the "Security Deposit Account"). After the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Borrowers shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the "Security Deposit Subaccount") subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrowers together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of the applicable Borrower under the applicable Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that a Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).
Section 3.6 Cash Collateral Subaccount
. If a Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the "Cash Collateral Subaccount") as cash collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Account and not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrowers upon the termination of such Cash Management Period. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment of Principal (together which the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto). Additionally, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time subsequent to the second Calculation Date following the commencement of a DSCR Cash Management Period (whether or not an Event of Default is then continuing), in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount towards a partial Defeasance of the Loan (together with any Defeasance costs associated therewith), and Borrowers shall execute such documents and take such other actions necessary to satisfy the Defeasance requirements set forth in Section 2.3.3 hereof.
29 | ||
|
Section 3.7 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds
. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrowers of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all such Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the "Cash Management Accounts"). Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account until such Rents are released to Borrower from the Clearing Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. No Borrower shall, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the direction of Borrowers, Lender shall deposit the amounts held in the Cash Management Account in Permitted Investments selected by Borrowers. All investment earnings which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrowers and shall be taxable to Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Lender shall not be responsible for any losses resulting from the investment of the Funds or for obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such investment. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Cash Management Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrowers.
Section 3.8 Property Cash Flow Allocation
. (2) During any Cash Management Period, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority: (i) First, to make payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3; (ii) Second, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement; (iii) Third, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.8(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents); (iv) Fourth, to Borrowers the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Budget for the following month as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses and Approved Capital Expenses at the Property for such month; (v) Fifth, after the consummation of a Securitization, to pay the pro rata portion of the expenses described in Section 9.1.4; and (vi) Lastly, to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.6.
30 | ||
|
(b) The failure of Borrowers to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.8(a) in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.8, after the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.
ARTICLE 4
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrowers represent and warrant to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:
Section 4.1 Organization; Special Purpose
. Each Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Each Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Each Borrower is a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
Section 4.2 Authorization; Valid Execution and Delivery; Enforceability
. Borrowers have taken all necessary actions for the authorization of the borrowing on account of the Loan and for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, that those members of Borrowers whose approval is required by the terms of Borrowers’ organizational documents have duly approved the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized execution and delivery thereof by the respective signatories. To the best of each Borrower’s knowledge, no other consent by any local, state or federal agency is required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents. All of the Loan Documents requiring execution by any Borrower have been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Borrower. All of the Loan Documents constitute valid, legal and binding obligations of each Borrower and are fully enforceable against each Borrower in accordance with their terms by Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns, subject only to bankruptcy laws, and general principles of equity, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, receivership or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors. All consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings with any court or governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrowers have been obtained or made.
Section 4.3 No Conflict/Violation of Law
. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrowers will not cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the organizational documents of any Borrower, any Guarantor or any general
31 | ||
|
partner or managing member of any Borrower or any Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the obligations imposed on Borrowers under the Loan Documents will not cause any Borrower to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under the provisions of any agreement, judgment or order to which a Borrower is a party or by which a Borrower is bound.
Section 4.4 No Litigation
. Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 2, to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations or governmental investigations against the Property, an adverse outcome of which would materially affect any Borrower’s performance under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section 4.5 No Defenses
. The Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render this Agreement or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.
Section 4.6 Title
. Borrowers have good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, and good title to the Equipment, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents. The possession of the Property has been peaceful and undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned to the best of Borrowers’ knowledge. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrowers to pay in full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or (2) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of the Property as currently being operated or the value of the Property. Upon the execution by Borrowers and the recording of the Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements or amendments thereto, the Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid security interest in the Equipment subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.
Section 4.7 No Insolvency or Judgment; No Bankruptcy Filing
. Neither any Borrower, nor any general partner or member of any Borrower, nor any Guarantor of the Loan is currently (a) the subject of or a party to any completed or pending bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject of any judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in which the Property is located or in any other court located in the United States. The Loan will not render any Borrower nor any general partner or member of any Borrower insolvent. As used herein, the term "insolvent" means that the sum total of all of an entity’s liabilities (whether secured or unsecured, contingent or fixed, or liquidated or unliquidated) is in excess of the value of all such entity’s non-exempt assets, i.e., all of the assets of the entity that are available to satisfy claims of creditors. No Borrower is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a "Bankruptcy Proceeding"), and no Borrower has knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.
32 | ||
|
In addition, except as described on Schedule 2 attached hereto, neither any Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of either has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.
Section 4.8 Misstatements of Fact
. No statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact known to any Borrower or its Affiliates necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to any Borrower which has not been disclosed which materially adversely affects, nor as far as such Borrower can reasonably foresee, might materially adversely affect the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower.

If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or paid from escrow accounts established hereunder) shall at any time exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (1) cash, (2) U.S. Treasury securities, (3) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and with respect to which the applicable Rating Agencies

Nothing herein shall prevent Borrowers from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or cure. The obligations and liabilities of Borrowers under this Section 5.8.1 shall survive any termination, satisfaction, or assignment of the Mortgage and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; provided that such obligations and liabilities of Borrowers shall not survive after the date Lender or its Affiliates take title to the Property pursuant to foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

Borrowers shall permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection with any actual or alleged violation of Environmental Law or the presence of Hazardous Substance at the Property, and Borrowers shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith. Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time while the Loan is outstanding but not more frequently than once per calendar year, unless Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or audit of the Property, Borrowers shall provide at Borrowers’ sole expense, (i) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist or licensed environmental engineer approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property, and (ii) an inspection or audit of the Property

If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within sixty (60) days after such request Lender may order same, and Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable prior notice to Borrowers and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with tenants or occupants thereof. The cost of such inspection or audit obtained by Lender upon Borrowers’ failure to do so shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be due and payable by Borrowers to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to the Debt. In the event that any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for Asbestos or any Hazardous Substance, Borrowers shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at Borrower’s expense upon request of Lender. In the event that any investigation, site monitoring, containment cleanup, removal, restoration, or other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law (the "Remedial Work"), Borrowers shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work, provided that in any event Borrowers shall complete such Remedial Work within the time required by applicable Environmental Law, and provided, further, that Borrowers’ obligation to perform Remedial Work shall be without prejudice to any rights Borrowers may have against responsible parties. All Remedial Work shall be performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrowers including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrowers from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable for such Remedial Work. In the event Borrowers shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be due and payable by Borrowers to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to the Debt.

Leases executed after the date hereof shall not contain any provisions which adversely affect the Property or which might adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Loan without the prior written consent of Lender. Each tenant shall conduct business only in that portion of the Property covered by its Lease. Upon request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.
5.10.2 Borrowers shall not, without the prior consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or conditioned (i) enter into any Material Lease of all or any part of the Property, (ii) cancel, terminate (other than as a result of a tenant default thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify the terms of any Material Lease unless such action is required by the terms thereof, or accept a surrender thereof, (iii) consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Material Lease not in accordance with its terms, (iv) cancel, terminate, abridge or otherwise modify any guaranty of any Material Lease or the terms thereof, (v) accept prepayments of installments of Rents for a period of more than one (1) month in advance (other than estimated payments of reimbursable expenses paid by tenants pursuant to their Leases) or (vi) further assign the whole or any part of the Leases or the Rents. If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent under this Section 5.10.2 within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed granted, provided that such request shall have been accompanied by all information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate such request and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted. In the event that Lender refuses to grant any such consent, Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such refusal.

5.10.3 Borrowers (i) shall observe and perform all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor, grantor or licensor, as applicable, under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrowers shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee, grantee or licensee, as applicable, thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof (unless by reason of default thereunder); (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents (other than estimated payments of reimbursable expenses paid by tenants
47 | ||
|
pursuant to their Leases) more than one (1) month in advance; (v) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents; (vi) shall, upon request of Lender, request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant at the Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided that Borrowers shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than two (2) times in any calendar year; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Property as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.
5.10.4 All security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrowers at such commercial or savings bank or banks and shall be held in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrowers is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable legal requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall (if issued after the date hereof) be fully assignable to Lender and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrowers shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrowers’ compliance with the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrowers shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by any applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.
5.10.5 Master Lease. The Xxxxxxx North Borrower and Master Lease Tenant have entered into the Master Lease, pursuant to which Master Lease Tenant leases from the Xxxxxxx North Borrower the entirety of the Master Lease Space, which Master Lease provides for annual triple net rent and recoveries of $20 per square foot (the "Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries"). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.10 to the contrary, Xxxxxxx North Borrower may approve the assignment of the Master Lease or partial release of the Master Lease Tenant from all or any portion of the Master Lease Space or the Master Lease, provided (i) such assignment or partial release shall be evidenced by a written modification or amendment of the Master Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.10, (ii) that any space as to which Master Lease Tenant is released is the subject, in each case, of a new direct Lease entered into between the Xxxxxxx North Borrower and a tenant in accordance with this Section 5.10, and (iii) to the extent that the per square foot contract rent and recoveries under any such direct Lease is less than the Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries under the Master Lease, the per square foot contract rent and recoveries under the Master Lease with respect to the remaining space demised thereunder will be automatically increased (pursuant to a written modification or amendment of the Master Lease in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.10) to the extent necessary so that the aggregate contract rent and recoveries payable with respect to the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease and all such new direct Leases shall be equal to or greater than Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries originally payable with respect to the entirety of the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that if (i) Master Lease Tenant seeks a release from the Master Lease in accordance with this Section 5.10.5 and (ii) the aggregate per square foot contract rent and recoveries under all the resultant new direct Leases is less than the Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries originally payable with respect to the
48 | ||
|
entirety of the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease, then in no event shall Xxxxxxx North Borrower release Master Lease Tenant from its tenancy obligations under the Master Lease. Thus, at least a portion of the Master Lease Space must either be (i) subleased or (ii) retained as space leased directly by Master Lease Tenant under the Master Lease, such that, in either case, Master Lease Tenant shall still be obligated to pay to the Xxxxxxx North Borrower, under the Master Lease, (x) the Minimum PSF Rent and Recoveries originally payable with respect to the entirety of the Master Lease Space under the Master Lease less (y) the aggregate contract rent and recoveries payable with respect to such new direct Leases. No Lender consent or approval shall be required regarding any subleases entered into by Master Lease Tenant concerning the Master Lease Space.
Section 5.11 Estoppel Statement
. After request by Lender, Borrowers shall within ten days furnish Lender with a statement addressed to Lender, its successors and assigns, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the unpaid Principal, (ii) the Interest Rate, (iii) the date installments of interest and/or Principal were last paid, (iv) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, and (v) that the Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

Borrowers shall cause the Manager to enter into an assignment and subordination of the management agreement in form satisfactory to Lender (the "Subordination of Management Agreement"). The Subordination of Management Agreement shall assign and subordinate the Manager’s interests in the Property and all fees and other rights of the Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement to the rights of Lender. Upon an Event of Default, Borrowers shall, at Lender’s request made at any time while such Event of Default continues, terminate, or cause the termination of, the Management Agreement. Borrowers shall not enter into any agreement relating to the management of the Property with any party without the express written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to the extent that such manager is an affiliate of Borrowers); provided, however, with respect to a new manager such consent may also be conditioned upon Borrowers delivering (i) a Rating Comfort Letter with respect to such new manager and management agreement (other than a Qualified Manager that is Controlled (in the sense of clause (ii) of the defined term "Control") by the REIT), and (ii) evidence satisfactory to Lender (which shall include, at the request of Lender, a legal non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender) that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrowers, their shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, after the engagement of the new manager are in accordance with the requirements of the Rating Agencies.

At such time as the Manager may be removed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, a replacement manager and management agreement acceptable to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies in their sole discretion shall assume management of the Property and shall receive a property management fee not to exceed the then current market rates.
Section 5.13 Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity

Section 5.18 Zoning
. Borrowers shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result

52 | ||
|
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and that Lender will continue to rely on Borrowers’ ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt.

Borrowers agree to bear and shall pay or reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, title search costs and title insurance endorsement premiums) incurred by Lender in connection with the review, approval and documentation of any such Transfer.

The amount of such rental interruption insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Subject to the rights of Lender and subject to the provisions of Section 7.4.1(j) below, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrowers of their obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such rental interruption insurance;

7.1.2 Policies. All insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the "Policies" or in the singular, the "Policy" and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies (or a "cut-through" endorsement, approved
67 | ||
|
by Lender, with respect to any such Policy) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and, except in the case of flood hazard insurance and earthquake insurance, having either (i) a claims paying ability rating of
"A-" or better by S&P and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx’x or (ii) if the Policies are provided through a syndicate of companies, (A) at least 75% of the coverage and first layer of coverage shall have a claims paying ability rating of "A, X" or better (and the equivalent thereof) by A.M. Best’s Key Rating Guide ("Best"), (B) no more than 15% of the Policies shall have a claims paying ability rating of "A, VIII" or less by Best and (C) no more than 10% of the Policies shall have a claims paying ability rating of "A , VII" or less by Best’s. The Policies described in Section 7.1.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee and Lender shall be an additional named insured, as its interests may appear. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder shall be delivered by Borrowers to Lender.
7.1.3 Insurance Premiums. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, Borrowers shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the "Insurance Premiums") as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrowers are not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof). If Borrowers are required to furnish such evidence and receipts pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrowers do not furnish such evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrowers agree to reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender, Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices of owners of property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located and as may be available at commercially reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that the Policies, delivered with respect to the Property as of the date hereof satisfy the requirements of this Section 7. Such approval shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination of such Policies, provided that there is not a downgrade by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Best of any insurer providing such Policies and, as a result thereof, Borrowers fail to satisfy the rating criteria set forth in Section 7.1.2. Any renewal or replacement of such Policies, however, shall require Lender’s approval as provided above in this Section 7.1.2 unless (i) the companies providing such renewal or replacement Policies are licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located and have a claims paying ability rating by S&P, Xxxxx’x and Best’s Insurance Reports that satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 7.1.2 above or that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.5 below, such rating is no less than the rating as of the date hereof of the company providing the insurance approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (ii) the coverage provided by such renewal or replacement Policies is no less than the coverage approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such renewal or replacement Policies contain in all material respects the same terms and conditions as the Policies approved by Lender as of the date hereof and (iv) Lender
68 | ||
|
has not notified Borrowers in accordance with this Section 7.1 that the requirements for the Policies have changed since the date hereof.
7.1.4 Blanket Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section 7.1 may be effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Property and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided that any blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of general liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such blanket Policy that is allocated exclusively to the Property and shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Section 7. Lender hereby confirms that it approves (i) the terms of the existing Property Insurance Sharing Agreement among Borrowers and certain of their Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance Premiums are financed through one or more finance companies (individually and/or collectively, the "Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement") to whom Borrowers pays Borrowers’ allocable share of the annual initial deposit and the monthly payments due for each blanket Policy to the applicable finance company (with respect to each blanket Policy, such monthly payment, together with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share of the annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such Policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date, each, a "Financing Installment").
Section 7.2 Casualty
.
7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. 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 thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrowers, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such insurance proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction (a "Casualty Restoration"), all to be effected in accordance with applicable law
7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an "Insured Casualty") occurs where the loss does not exceed $1,300,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrowers are hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $1,300,000 (a "Significant Casualty"), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrowers and agree with the insurer(s) in a commercially reasonable manner on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrowers or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrowers shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint Lender as their attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender within ten (10) days following demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier
69 | ||
|
makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrowers propose be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrowers, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrowers have demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds, together with any portion of the amount treated as business or rental interruption insurance that will be paid to Lender, will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
Section 7.3 Condemnation
.
7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (a "Condemnation") and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrowers, regardless of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant to Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation (a "Condemnation Restoration", together with a Casualty Restoration, collectively a "Restoration"), all to be effected in accordance with applicable law.
7.3.2 Collection of Award. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrowers’ attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment ("Award") for any taking accomplished through a Condemnation (a "Taking") and to make any commercially reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with any such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall have the right, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to compromise and collect or receive any award that does not exceed $1,300,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public or quasi-public authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such a Taking), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note. Borrowers shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrowers to be paid directly to Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Award shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrowers to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

(d) Unless such amounts are payable to Borrowers pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account for the benefit of Borrowers (which interest shall be added to and become a part of the Net Proceeds) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

(e) All plans and specifications required in connection with any Restoration following a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $3,000,000 or more shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "Casualty Consultant") provided that if the correspondence from Borrowers to Lender requesting approval of any such plans and specifications (or contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in connection therewith) contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page stating that "IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 15 BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN", and if Lender fails to respond to such request for approval in writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Lender of such written request, the related plans and specifications and all information reasonably required in order to adequately review the same, then such approval will be deemed given. 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 any Restoration following a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $3,500,000 or more, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrowers.

The term "Casualty Retainage" shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed.

73 | ||
|
subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the 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.
(g) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(h) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency (the "Net Proceeds Deficiency") with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with this Section 7.4.

7.4.2 Application to Debt. All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrowers as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4.1(i) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt 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 Borrowers for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.

Section 8.2 Remedies
.
8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrowers and in and to the Property including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrowers), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrowers) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrowers hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. 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 any Borrower under the Loan Documents 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, or be automatically, 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. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers agree that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any
77 | ||
|
other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrowers 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. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrowers ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrowers fail to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein (including the covenant set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1) and such failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrowers’ receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor and, if not paid, shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrowers of any such failure.

|
Agreement or other Loan Documents, Borrowers and their respective affiliates shall use reasonable efforts to comply with the requests of the holder of the Note or to take such action as may be required by a purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or other potential investor (collectively, the "Investor") or by the Rating Agencies in connection with one or more sales, transfers or assignments of the Loan (or portions thereof or interests therein), or grants of participation interests therein, in connection with one or more securitizations of such Note, or portions thereof or interests therein (each such sale and/or securitization, a "Securitization") involving the issuance of rated or unrated single-class or multi-class securities (the "Securities") secured by or evidencing direct or indirect ownership interests in, among other things, the Note (or any portion thereof or interests therein) and the Loan Agreement. Such efforts, with respect to each Securitization may include, without limitation, to:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, the OP, the REIT (the OP and the REIT being individually or collectively referred to herein as the "Parent") and the manager of the Property as reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (including, without limitation, existing audited or unaudited financial statements or at no expense to Borrowers or any Parent, audited or unaudited financial statements), (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property (iii) at no expense to Borrowers or any Parent, perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspections, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies, and/or Investors in the Securities, or as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the tenants or occupants thereof (such information in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) being collectively referred to as the "Provided Information"), together with appropriate verification and/or consents with respect to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(b) prepare a presentation for the Rating Agencies describing Borrowers, Parent, the Property, management of the Property and such other matters as are customary for securitizations such as the Securitization, in each case as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities or as may be reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization;
(c) cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies, Investors and/or other participants in the Securitization and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Property, Borrowers, Parent and their respective affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities;
79 | ||
|
(d) work with and, if requested, supervise third-party service providers engaged by Borrowers to obtain, collect and deliver information reasonably required by the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization;
(e) if required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(f) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrowers, Parent, the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities and as are 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 Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents; and
(g) execute such amendments to the Note, Loan Agreement, other Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities or otherwise to effect one or more Securitizations (including, without limitation, such amendments as shall be necessary or advisable to sever the Note (and/or any then existing component thereof) into one or more notes and/or one or more components and allocate Principal amounts thereof in order to effectuate one or more sales of the Note (and/or the resulting notes or components thereof) and/or to correspond to the related classes of Securities in one or more Securitizations so long as, in all such cases, the overall duration-weighted interest rate over all of the notes and components shall equal the Interest Rate); provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to modify or amend the Note, Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (i) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrowers or their Affiliates, (ii) modify or amend the loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the Loan or (iii) otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrowers or the other parties pursuant to the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, event of default or remedy provisions of the Loan Documents or the organizational documents of Borrower or its Affiliate).
9.1.2 Costs and Expenses. Borrowers, the REIT and their Affiliates will bear their own internal costs of cooperation required by this Agreement in connection with any Securitization, but Lender shall be responsible for all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with any Securitization after the closing of the Loan.
9.1.3 Indemnification. Each Borrower and its respective Affiliates understand that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with each Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheets, structured term sheets and computational materials (each, a "Disclosure Document") 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"),
80 | ||
|
or provided or made available to Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies and service providers relating to such Securitization. In the event that such Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, each Borrower, and its respective Affiliates 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; provided, however, that this provision shall be limited to those portions of the Disclosure Statement that described Borrowers or any of their Affiliates, the Property, the Loan or the other Loan Documents.
(a) In the case of each Securitization, each Borrower agrees to cooperate in connection with (i) the preparation of a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum and/or (ii) the preparation of a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and (iii) the execution of an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrowers have carefully examined in each such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, all sections containing information relating to the Property, Parent, Borrowers, any Affiliates of Parent, Borrowers, or the Loan, and that such information included therein (collectively, the "Securitization Information"), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact known to Borrowers that is necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.1.3, Lender hereunder shall include its officers, directors and employees), the Person who acts as depositor, issuer and/or registrant who may have filed a registration statement relating to the Securitization, each underwriter or placement agent involved in the Securitization, each of their respective directors and officers and each Person who controls such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the "Indemnified Group"), for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "Liabilities") to which any of the Indemnified Group 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 Securitization Information which untrue or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have been given an opportunity to review the Securitization Information, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Person in the Indemnified Group for any legal or other expenses incurred by each such Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities for which an indemnity is owed hereunder; provided, however, that Borrowers will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any Provided Information or upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact known to Borrowers that is required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or any other information furnished to Lender or any other Person in the Indemnified Group by Borrowers or an affiliate in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting of the Debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrowers, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and Property condition reports with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have.
81 | ||
|
(b) In the case of each Securitization, in connection with filings under the Exchange Act, each Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) each Person in the Indemnified Group for Liabilities to which each such Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or an alleged untrue statement in the Provided Information or an omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact known to Borrowers that is necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have been given an opportunity to review such filings under the Exchange Act and (ii) each Person in the Indemnified Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by each such Person in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities for which an indemnity is owed hereunder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by a party seeking indemnification hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of which a claim is to be made under this Section 9.1.3, such party will notify Borrowers in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrowers will not relieve Borrowers from any liability which Borrowers may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrowers. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrowers of the commencement thereof, Borrowers will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that Borrowers may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from Borrowers to such indemnified party hereunder, Borrowers shall be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and Borrowers and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to Borrowers, the indemnified party or parties 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 party or parties. Borrowers shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to Borrower that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which any indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.3 is for any reason held to be unenforceable, unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities which would otherwise be indemnifiable hereunder, Borrowers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities; provided, however, that if any indemnified party is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) it shall not be entitled to contribution from Borrower if Borrower was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which a claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or
82 | ||
|
omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(e) The liabilities and obligations of Borrowers and its Affiliates hereunder shall survive the termination of the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(f) Each Person in the Indemnified Group is an intended third party beneficiary of the obligations of Borrowers herein.
9.1.4 Rating Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on Securities. The pro rata expenses of such surveillance will be paid for by Borrowers based on the applicable percentage of such expenses determined by dividing the then outstanding Principal by the then aggregate outstanding amount of the pool created in the Securitization which includes the Loan.
9.1.5 Severance of Loan. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Securitization), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the Principal balance of the Loan among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrowers (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding Principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding Principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. If requested by Lender, Borrowers (and Borrowers’ constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

(g) any security deposits collected by Borrowers or any affiliate thereof 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.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents (i) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, (ii) the covenant of Borrowers set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1 shall be fully recourse to Borrowers (but not its members (other than Guarantor) or other direct or indirect constituent members or partners or any other Person), (iii) the covenant of Borrowers set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.24 shall be fully recourse to Borrowers (but not its members (other than Guarantor) or other direct or indirect constituent members or partners or any other Person), and (iv) the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrowers (but not its members (other than Guarantor) or other direct or indirect constituent members or partners or any other Person) in the event that: (A) the first full Monthly Payment Amount (as defined in the Note) under the Note is not paid when due; (B) other than in connection with a default under subsection (x) of the definition of Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity set forth in Schedule 5 hereof, any Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such failure results in the substantive consolidation of a Borrower with another Person; (C) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, any Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property; (D) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, any Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Property or any interest therein as and to the extent required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (E) (1) a receiver (other than a receiver appointed by Lender), liquidator or trustee of any Borrower or Guarantor shall be appointed which is not dismissed within ninety (90) days, or (2) if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by any Borrower or Guarantor, or (3) if Borrower or Guarantor files an answer consenting to, or otherwise joining in, any involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law filed against it by any other Person, or is found pursuant to a final, unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have solicited or caused to be solicited creditors to file any involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law against any Borrower or Guarantor, or (4) if any Borrower or Guarantor are found, pursuant to a final unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to have been in collusion with creditors that initiate a bankruptcy action or proceeding against a Borrower or Guarantor.

Section 10.9 Headings/Exhibits
. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.10 Severability
. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.11 Preferences
. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrowers make a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt 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. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
Section 10.12 Waiver of Notice
. Borrowers shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or
88 | ||
|
any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrowers.
Section 10.13 Remedies of Borrowers
. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, each Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Each Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrowers’ behalf.
Section 10.14 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, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses
. Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which any Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrowers.
Section 10.16 Publicity
. All news releases, publicity or advertising through any media intended to reach the general public (collectively, "Public Releases") issued by Borrowers or their Affiliates that refer to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Indemnified Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Securitization shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any Public Releases without Borrowers’ approval.
Section 10.17 No Usury
. Borrowers and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render
89 | ||
|
usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrowers results in Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrowers’ and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrowers), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
Section 10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents
. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
Section 10.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries
. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section 10.20 Yield Maintenance Premium
. Each Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, each Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrowers, by a Person on behalf of Borrowers, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Each Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrowers’ obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if
90 | ||
|
required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Each Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrowers to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
Section 10.21 Assignment
. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. No Borrower may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents except as specifically provided in Sections 5.26.5 and 5.26.6 of this Agreement.
Section 10.22 Set-Off
. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrowers, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrowers hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 10.23 Counterparts
. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.24 Partial Release
.
(a) The parties acknowledge that the Release Parcels are being encumbered by the Lien of the Mortgage solely by reason of the fact that the Release Parcels have not been legally subdivided and are not a separate legal lot and that it is the intent of the parties to release the Release Parcels upon the completion of the subdivision and Borrowers’ compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.24. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, Borrowers shall have the right to obtain a release of the lien of the Mortgage (and related Loan Documents) as to the Release Parcels for development by the transferee of such Release Parcels (which may be an Affiliate of Borrowers), upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
