2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) acquire the Property, including, without limitation, acquisition transaction costs, (ii) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (iii) pay all past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (iv) deposit the Reserve Funds, to the extent applicable, (v) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan incurred by Lender, (vi) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, as approved by Lender and (vii) retain the balance, if any.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the date hereof up to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Intentionally Omitted.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.4 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the period from the eleventh (11th) day of the calendar month immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date through and including the tenth (10th) day of the calendar month in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs.
2.2.5 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payments.

Commencing on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in March 2006 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a payment (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”) to Lender of interest only in arrears at the Interest Rate based on the outstanding amount of the Loan. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each payment shall be applied to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Loan.
2.3.2 Intentionally Omitted.
19
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due Lender under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (a “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. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Solely for purposes of determining whether an Event of Default has occurred or a Late Payment Charge is payable, payments from the Accounts shall be deemed to be made, provided sufficient funds are on deposit in the Accounts for the purposes intended on the date such payments are due and Borrower has not attempted to prevent or delay any disbursement by Agent of any such amounts from the Accounts.
(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the Business Day immediately preceding such day.
(c) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
2.3.6 Payments After Event of Default. Any amounts received by Lender following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of interest and/or principal of Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part), provided the following conditions are satisfied: (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (b) Borrower provides Lender with not less than fifteen (15) days prior notice of the date of such prepayment (or such shorter period of time as
20
may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion); (c) such prepayment is made on a Monthly Payment Date; (d) if such prepayment is made prior to the Monthly Payment Date in November 2010, Borrower shall also pay to Lender the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, if such prepayment is made on or after the Monthly Payment Date in November 2010, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be payable by Borrower to Lender; and (e) if any prepayment is received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date, such prepayment shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date and such amounts (i.e., principal and interest prepaid by Borrower) shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account at an Eligible Institution, with interest accruing on such amounts to the benefit of Borrower, and such amounts prepaid shall be applied to the Loan on the next Monthly Payment Date, with any interest on such funds paid to Borrower on such date provided no Event of Default then exists.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender is not required to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with interest that would have accrued on such amounts through the next Monthly Payment Date and shall have the option to prepay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest thereon within 180 days of Lender’s determination to apply Net Proceeds to the Loan. The full amount of any such prepayment shall be applied to the Loan and any amount of such prepayment in excess of that required to pay the Debt in full shall be distributed in the following order of priority: (i) if any portion of the Mezzanine Loan, if any, is outstanding, to the Mezzanine Lender to be applied in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, and (ii) if no portion of any Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, to Borrower. No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, 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 2.4.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay to Lender the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, plus, if any such prepayment is made prior to November 11, 2010, a payment equal to the greater of (a) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal amount being prepaid or (b) the Yield Maintenance Premium. The full amount of any such prepayment shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
21
Section 2.5 Release.
2.5.1 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release or assign (without recourse, representation or warranty) the Liens of the Mortgage and other Loan Documents on the Property.

Lender shall execute and deliver a Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form annexed as Schedule IV to Tenants under future Major Leases approved or deemed approved by Lender promptly upon request (and, if requested by any Tenants under Leases other than Major Leases, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to execute and deliver such Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements to such Tenants) with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, and which are reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not terminate (other than due to a monetary default by the tenant under a Major Lease) or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits), except as approved by Lender or as provided in Leases that exist as of the date hereof and, if the amount of any such prepaid Rent shall equal or exceed $250,000 for any Lease, then as a condition to any approval by Lender for Borrower to collect such Rents more than one (1) month in advance, Lender may require that Borrower deposit all such prepaid Rents with Lender to be held in an interest-bearing account and applied to the Debt as it comes due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents during the period
39
represented by the prepaid Rent; (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Legal Requirements. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.1.9:
(i) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9, Borrower shall have the right to submit a term sheet of such transaction to Lender for Lender’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such term sheet submitted to Lender shall set forth all material terms of the proposed transaction including, without limitation, identity of tenant, square footage, term, rent, rent credits, abatements, work allowances and tenant improvements to be constructed by Borrower. Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within eight (8) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval or consent of such term sheet. If Lender fails to respond to such request within eight (8) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend in bold letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within five (5) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approval, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such term sheet if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period;
(ii) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Lender has not previously approved (or deemed approved) a term sheet pursuant to Section 4.1.9(c)(i) above, Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within eight (8) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for such approval or consent. If Lender fails to respond to such request within eight (8) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend in bold letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within five (5) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approval, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which Lender’s consent or approval was sought if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period;
(iii) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Lender has previously approved (or deemed approved) a term sheet pursuant to Section 4.1.9(c)(i) above, Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for such approval or consent. If Lender fails to respond to such request within five (5) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend in bold letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within five (5) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approval, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which Lender’s consent or approval was sought if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, provided that there have been no material deviations from the term sheet and that the aggregate economics of the transaction are not materially less favorable to Borrower than as set forth in the term sheet;
(iv) in the event that Lender shall have approved (or be deemed to have approved) a term sheet submitted by Borrower with respect to a certain Lease, Lender shall not
40
withhold its approval or consent with respect to such Lease on the basis of any provisions of such Lease dealing with the items contained in the approved term sheet; and
(v) Borrower shall have the right, without the consent or approval of Lender in any instance, to terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease that is not a Major Lease.
4.1.10 Alterations. Except for the Elevator Renovation Program, the Lender’s prior approval shall be required in connection with any alterations to any Improvements (except tenant improvements under any Lease approved or deemed approved by Lender or under any Lease for which approval was not required by Lender under this Agreement) (a) that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the ongoing revenues and expenses of the Property or (b) the cost of which (including any related alteration, improvement or replacement) is reasonably anticipated to exceed the Alteration Threshold, which approval may be granted or withheld in Lender’s reasonable discretion. If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold (except for the Elevator Renovation Program), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following (such security, “Alteration Security”): (i) cash, (ii) Letters of Credit (iii) U.S. Obligations, (iv) other securities acceptable to Lender, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same, or (v) a completion bond, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Alteration Security held by Lender in accordance with this Section 4.1.10 shall be returned to Borrower in the event that Borrower provides Lender with reasonably satisfactory evidence that (x) the aggregate unpaid amount with respect to the alteration to which such Alteration Security relates is less than the Alteration Threshold and (y) after the release of such Alteration Security, adequate Alteration Security shall remain on deposit with Lender with respect any other alterations then undertaken by Borrower in accordance with this Section 4.1.10.

Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the partners of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.
4.2.7 Zoning.

4.2.11 ERISA.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular, the “Policy”) and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, or as soon as available, but in no event later than seven (7) days following such date of expiration, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender; provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish receipts for payment of Insurance Premiums in the event that such Insurance Premiums are payable by Lender pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof and sufficient funds have been deposited with Lender for the payment thereof in the manner required by Section 6.3.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same
47
protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Sections 5.1.1(a)(v), (viii) and (x), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance and resulting loss of business income or rental income, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing Mortgagee or Lender Loss Payee clause or endorsement in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender subject to the provisions of Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 hereof. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (a)(viii) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ (or ten (10) days’ for non-payment of any premium) written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property
48
and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(h) Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.1.1(a)(i) to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain Policies which do not contain exclusions for “fire following” to the extent that insurance coverage is available without such exclusions.
5.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P and, to the extent rated by Xxxxx’x and or Fitch, the equivalent rating from each of Xxxxx’x and/or Fitch, as applicable (provided, however, that the Policies for general liability insurance set forth in subsections (a)(ii), (a)(v), (a)(vii) and (a)(viii) above shall be issued by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P and, to the extent rated by Xxxxx’x and or Fitch, the equivalent rating from each of Xxxxx’x and/or Fitch, as applicable). If a Securitization occurs, (i) the foregoing required insurance company rating by a Rating Agency not rating any Securities shall be disregarded and (ii) if the insurance company complies with the aforesaid S&P required rating (and S&P is rating the Securities) and the other Rating Agencies rating the Securities do not rate the insurance company, such insurance company shall be deemed acceptable with respect to such Rating Agency not rating such insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the Policies with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (an “Otherwise Rated Insurer”), provided Borrower obtains a “cut-through” endorsement (that is, an endorsement which permits recovery against the provider of such endorsement) with respect to any Otherwise Rated Insurer from an insurance company which meets the claims paying ability ratings required above. Moreover, if Borrower desires to maintain insurance required hereunder from an insurance company which does not meet the claims paying ability ratings set forth herein but the parent of such insurance company, which owns at least fifty-one percent (51%) of such insurance company, maintains such ratings, Borrower may use such insurance companies if approved by the Rating Agencies (such approval may be conditioned on items required by the Rating Agencies including a requirement that the parent guarantee the obligations of such insurance company).
Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1 Casualty. If the Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall, subject to Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authorities, promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no
49
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.
5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall, subject to Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authorities, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the outstanding Debt.
5.2.3 Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 5.1.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) to be used to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount as it becomes due under the Loan Documents. Provided no Event of Default exists and Lender reasonably determines that sufficient other funds will remain available for the payment of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, all business interruption insurance proceeds remaining after the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be released to Mezzanine Lender, if a Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, or to Borrower, if no Mezzanine Loan is outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such business interruption insurance proceeds are paid to Lender in a lump sum, then, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall disburse on a monthly basis (i) if a Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, to Mezzanine
50
Lender, or (ii) if no Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, to Borrower, a portion of such proceeds in an amount equal to the amount of such proceeds which represent the Rents for such month less the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on the Monthly Payment Date in such month. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.
Section 5.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.
5.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the Net Proceeds (less any business interruption proceeds) shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, subject to Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authorities, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Article V. If any Net Proceeds (other than business interruption insurance proceeds released to Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2.3) are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
5.3.2 Major Casualty or Condemnation. (a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the Net Proceeds (less any business interruption proceeds) are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;
(iii) Leases (other than Leases expiring on their own terms at the end of their then-current term) requiring payment of annual rent equal to seventy percent (70%) of the Gross Revenue received by Borrower during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(iv) Borrower shall commence the initial proceedings to commence Restoration (commencement for purposes hereof shall be deemed to include the filing for a building permit or other initial permits with respect to such Restoration) as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation,
51
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender shall be satisfied in its good faith opinion that the Property shall produce sufficient cash flow to pay all Operating Expenses and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Borrower;
(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Major Lease, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), unless Borrower deposits sufficient additional funds with Lender as determined by Lender in good faith;
(vii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in material compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements in all material respects; and
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements.
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied in all material respects, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full (subject to applicable retainage amounts), and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after
52
taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to reasonable approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, 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.
(e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
53
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the good faith opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account 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 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.
(h) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any Yield Maintenance Premium in connection with such payment), whether or not then due and payable, first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Upon payment in full of the Debt and in the event a Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, any remaining Net Proceeds shall be paid to Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with the Mezzanine Loan Agreement.

In the event that a Letter of Credit is delivered in lieu of any portion of the Tax Funds or the Insurance Funds, Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of Taxes or Insurance Premiums, as applicable, and Lender shall not be responsible therefor.
(b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than thirty (30) days notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any such Letter of Credit. Upon thirty (30) days notice to Lender, Borrower may replace a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the applicable Reserve Fund if a Letter of Credit has been outstanding for more than six (6) months. Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount that would have accumulated in the applicable Reserve Fund and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter of Credit had not been delivered.
(c) Borrower shall provide Lender with notice of any increases in the annual payments for Taxes and Insurance Premiums thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such increase and any applicable Letter of Credit shall be increased by such increased amount at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such increase.
Section 6.12 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.
6.12.1 Security for Debt. Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the Yield Maintenance Premium. On the Maturity Date, any such Letter of Credit may be applied to reduce the Debt.
6.12.2 Additional Rights of Lender. In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (d) if
61
Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
VII. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Section 7.1 The Management Agreement. Borrower shall cause Manager to manage the Property in accordance with the Management Agreement and Lender acknowledges that the Management Agreement has been approved by Lender. Borrower shall (i) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed and (ii) promptly notify Lender of any notice to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed and observed. If Borrower shall default, beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting Lender’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Management Agreement, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed.
Section 7.2 Prohibition Against Termination or Modification. Borrower shall not surrender, terminate, cancel or materially modify the Management Agreement, or enter into any other agreement relating to the management or operation of the Property with Manager or any other Person, or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, in each case without the express consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, the Borrower shall have the right at any time upon at least thirty (30) days notice to Lender to replace the Manager with a new property manager provided (i) no Event of Default exists or shall occur as a result of such replacement, (ii) either (A) such replacement property manager is a Qualified Manager or (B) if such replacement property manager is not a Qualified Manager and a Securitization has occurred, Borrower delivers to Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation as to such new property manager and property management agreement, and (iii) the property management agreement entered into between the Borrower and such replacement property manager shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If any new property manager is an Affiliate of Borrower, then, as a further condition to the replacement of the Manager, Borrower shall be required to deliver to Lender a non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender (or, in the event that a Securitization shall have occurred, acceptable to the Rating Agencies). Any such new property manager and Borrower shall, as a further condition to the replacement of the Manager, execute a subordination of management agreement in the form delivered in connection with the Loan.
62

If a Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, Borrower shall not be permitted to transfer the Property unless Borrower obtains the prior written consent of Mezzanine Lender to the extent required by the Mezzanine Loan Agreement. In the event that such conveyance is a transfer of the Property in its entirety to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, the current Guarantor shall be released from and relieved of any of its obligations under (x) the Guaranty arising or occurring after the date of such conveyance or transfer (other than for any acts or events which were caused by or arise out of any acts, events or omissions of Guarantor, Borrower or its Affiliates occurring prior to such conveyance) and (y) the Environmental Indemnity (other than for any claims against such Guarantor existing on the date of such conveyance or transfer) provided that, and as a condition to such release, (1) Borrower delivers to Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such replacement Guarantor, (2) an Affiliate of the transferee of the Property approved by the Lender (in its reasonable discretion) assumes the obligations of the current Guarantor under the Guaranty (as to any acts or events which occur after the conveyance or transfer) and the Environmental Indemnity (as to any liability thereunder other than for any claims against the previous Guarantor existing on the date of such conveyance or transfer) and (3) if applicable but subject to the provisions in subsection

Section 8.2 Permitted Transfers of Interest in Borrower.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, the restrictions on transfers and other conveyances (excluding pledges) of direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower (including, without limitation, direct or indirect interests in Beacon Entity) set forth herein, in the Mortgage or in any other Loan Document shall not apply to the transfer (excluding pledges) of direct or indirect interests in Borrower (including, without limitation, direct or indirect interests in Beacon Entity) provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such transfer, (iii) Lender shall have received such documents, certificates and legal opinions as it may reasonably request, (iv) after such transfer Borrower shall maintain its status as a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity under criteria established herein, (v) if after giving effect to such transfer and all prior transfers, more than forty nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in Borrower are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than a forty nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in Borrower as of the Closing Date, Lender shall receive a non-consolidation opinion reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies and (vi) following such transfer (x) Beacon Entity owns directly or indirectly twenty five percent (25%) or more of the interests in Borrower and directly or indirectly controls Borrower or (y) Permitted Transferees own in the aggregate directly or indirectly fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the interests in Borrower and directly or indirectly controls Borrower, provided Mezzanine Lender, if any, approves such Permitted Transferee in accordance with and to the extent required by the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, or (z) another Person (A) which Lender has approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and if any Securities are outstanding, with respect to which Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation; and which Mezzanine Lender, if any, has approved in accordance with and to the extent required by the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, and (B) owns in the aggregate directly or indirectly fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the interests in Borrower and directly or indirectly controls Borrower. For purposes of this Section 8.2, “control” shall mean the ability to control the day to day and general management decisions regarding the Property. In the event that any such conveyance or transfer of any direct or indirect interests in Borrower results in the then current Guarantor and its Affiliates owning directly or indirectly no legal or beneficial interests in Borrower, then the current Guarantor shall be released from and relieved of any of its obligations under the (x) the Guaranty arising or occurring after the date of such conveyance or transfer (other than for any acts or events which were caused by or arise out of any acts, events or omissions of Guarantor, Borrower or its Affiliates occurring prior to such conveyance) and (y) the Environmental Indemnity (other than for any claims against such Guarantor existing on the date of such conveyance or transfer) provided that, and as a condition to such release, (1) Borrower delivers to Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to such replacement Guarantor, (2) an Affiliate of the transferee of the Property approved by the Lender (in its reasonable discretion) assumes the obligations of the current Guarantor under the Guaranty (as to any acts or events which occur after the conveyance or transfer) and the Environmental Indemnity (as to any liability thereunder other than for any claims against the previous Guarantor existing on the date
64

IX. SALE AND SECURITIZATION OF MORTGAGE
Section 9.1 Sale of Mortgage and Securitization.
(a) Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization (the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization.” Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”).

(i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the Property and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender and the Rating Agencies, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with
65
respect to the Property and Borrower and Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies;
(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require and consistent with the facts covered by the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement; and
(iv) execute amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (A) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Note, (B) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan or (C) otherwise materially increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall (unless Borrower shall otherwise be required to deliver any of the foregoing under another provision of this Agreement at its cost and expense) (x) pay the costs and expenses incurred by Lender with respect to the issuance of any Securities and any other costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with a Securitization and (y) reimburse Borrower for all reasonable third party fees (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Borrower’s attorneys) actually incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s cooperation with Lender pursuant to this Section 9.1(b).
(c) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with the following financial statements:
(i) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Property collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (x) the selected financial data relating to Borrower or the Property or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (y) the financial statements relating to Borrower or the Property required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than forty (40) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than eighty-five (85) days after the end of each
66
Fiscal Year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(ii) All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in Section 9.1(c)(i)(y) above shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and, if available to Borrower on a commercially reasonable basis, to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All other financial data and financial statements (i.e., unaudited) provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating the financial information attached thereto is true, accurate and complete in all material respects, but with no obligation to certify as to compliance with Regulation AB.
(iii) If requested by Lender in connection with a securitization, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine in good faith to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender to meet disclosure or rating agency requirements.
(iv) In the event Lender determines in good faith, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(c)(ii) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines in good faith to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
(v) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a diskette, and (iii) if
67
requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using a Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files). Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Property and Borrower that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 9.1(c)(v) in connection with the Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.
Lender shall (unless Borrower shall otherwise be required to deliver any of the foregoing under another provision of this Agreement at its cost and expense) reimburse Borrower for all reasonable third party fees (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Borrower’s attorneys) actually incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower’s delivery of financial statements and other materials requested by Lender pursuant to this Section 9.1(c).
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, an “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 and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.
(b) Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined the sections of the Disclosure Documents delivered by Lender to Borrower relating solely to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, and the Manager (the “Specified Sections”), and that such Specified Sections do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or specifying such untrue statement (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be required to review any other sections of the Disclosure Document other than the Specified Sections), (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Xxxxxx Brothers Inc. (“Xxxxxx Brothers”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Xxxxxx Brothers Group”), Xxxxxx Brothers, any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Xxxxxx Brothers or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as
68
the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Specified Sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such Specified Sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be responsible for any losses which would not have been suffered if Lender had corrected any statements contained in the Specified Sections identified by Borrower in writing to have been untrue or misleading) and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender in its capacity as “lender” hereunder by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property and provided further, however, that with respect to statements made in such Specified Sections that are based upon information provided by third parties, Borrower will be liable only if Borrower knew that such information was false or omitted to state a material fact known to Borrower and necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) In connection with Exchange Act Filings, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Specified Sections a material fact required to be stated in the Specified Sections in order to make the statements in the Specified Sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Xxxxxx Brothers Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) 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 the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such
69
indemnified party shall pay 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 the indemnifying party 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 additional to those available to the indemnifying party, 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 at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party 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 it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who 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) Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or 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.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

specified in subsections (i) to (xii) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such 30-day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days plus time permitted for Excusable Delays; or
(xv) if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition under any Loan Document is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of an Event of Default Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clause (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 10.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. 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 sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been
72
foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Debt and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in,
73
defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
XI. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 11.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefore.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
Section 11.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
77
Section 11.9 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 11.10 Preferences. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 11.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 11.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing 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.
Section 11.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date but not for periodic normal site visits and only for out-of-pocket costs; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of
78
counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation or otherwise, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid to Lender pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, directors, agents, employees (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) (the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding consequential damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Lender Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Lender Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnitees hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnitees.
Section 11.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
79
Section 11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.
Section 11.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of
80
the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 11.22 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any appropriate action or proceeding in order to fully realize on any security given by Borrower in connection with the Loan or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to
81
exercise its remedies against such security; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage (excluding consequential damages), cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(b) the willful misconduct of Borrower;
(c) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(d) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;
(e) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any Rents during the existence of an Event of Default;
(f) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Property;
(g) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such 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;
(h) Borrower’s indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2 hereof;
(i) the Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law;
(j) an Affiliate, officer, director, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower filing, or joining in the filing of, an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or the soliciting, or causing to be solicited, petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person;
(k) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting, or causing to be solicited, petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person;
82
(l) any Affiliate of Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property;

Section 11.28 Security Interest in Parking Lease. If and to the extent permitted under the Parking Lease, Borrower hereby grants to Lender, to secure its obligations under the Loan Documents, a security interest in the Parking Lease. In the event that it is determined that the foregoing grant of security interest is not permitted by the Parking Lease, then the foregoing grant shall be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever, all as if the same was never granted.
