26
(c) Determination of Interest Rate.
(i) The Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (A) the LIBOR Rate with
respect to the applicable Interest Accrual Period for a LIBOR Loan or (B) the Base Rate for
a Base Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions
hereof. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall

Rate for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Any change in the rate of interest
hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of

shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower and each Lender absent manifest error) that by
reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Administrative Agent shall forthwith give
notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower and each Lender
at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period. If such
notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of
the then current Interest Accrual Period, to a Base Rate Loan.
(iv) If, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a

conclusive and binding upon Borrower and each Lender absent manifest error) that the
event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable,
Administrative Agent shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in
writing, to Borrower and each Lender at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the
related Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Base Rate
Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual
Period.
(v) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and
without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected,
withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become
effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as

the jurisdiction under the laws of which Administrative Agent or any Lender is organized or
any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or imposed by the
jurisdiction of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s applicable lending office where
Administrative Agent or any Lender is resident or engaged in business or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein. If any Foreign Taxes are required to be
withheld from any amounts payable to Administrative Agent
27
and/or Lenders hereunder, the amounts so payable to the applicable party shall,
following prompt written notice of such increase to Borrower, be increased to the extent
necessary to yield to Administrative Agent and/or such Lenders, as applicable (after payment
of all Foreign Taxes), interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or
in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to
applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to
Administrative Agent an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof
showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Administrative Agent and
each Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by
Administrative Agent and/or any Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay
any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower
to remit to Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence.
(vi) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or
application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lenders to make or maintain a
LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (A) the obligation of Lenders hereunder to make a LIBOR
Loan or to convert a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any
outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Base Rate Loan on the last day
of the then current Interest Accrual Period or within such earlier period as required by
law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such
Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any
reasonable costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to
lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Such
notice (which shall be sent by Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender) of such costs,
as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(vii) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation
or application thereof, or compliance by Administrative Agent and/or any Lender with any
request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any
central bank or other Governmental Authority:
|
(A) |
|
shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve,
special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by,
or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans
by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
office of any Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of
LIBOR hereunder; |
|
|
(B) |
|
shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on any Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a
level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption,
change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with
respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be
material; or |
28
|
(C) |
|
shall hereafter impose on Administrative Agent and/or any
Lender any other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR |
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative
Agent and/or any Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan or to reduce any
amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for its account or
the account of such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, for such additional cost or reduced amount
receivable which Administrative Agent or such Lender deems to be material as determined by
Administrative Agent or such Lender. If Administrative Agent or such Lender becomes entitled to
claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Administrative Agent (for itself or on
behalf of any such Lender) shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days notice
specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the
additional amount required to fully compensate Administrative Agent and/or such Lender for such
additional cost or reduced amount together with a certificate as to any additional costs or amounts
payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Administrative Agent (for itself or on
behalf of any such Lender) to Borrower (which certificate shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error). Subject to the terms of Section 12.5 hereof, this provision shall survive payment
of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the
Loan Documents.
(viii) Subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, Borrower agrees to indemnify Administrative
Agent and each Lender and to hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss or
expense which Administrative Agent and/or any Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (A) any
default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without
limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by any Lender to lenders
of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (B) any prepayment (whether
voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Accrual
Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable
by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and
(C) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest
Rate from the LIBOR Rate to the Base Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal
amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Accrual Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest
or fees payable by any Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan
hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively
as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Administrative Agent or
any Lender from any loss or expense arising from Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence. Subject to the terms of Section 12.5 hereof, this provision shall
survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(ix) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be entitled to claim compensation
pursuant to this subsection for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in
29
amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or
which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Administrative Agent (for itself and/or on
behalf of any Lender) notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such
claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Administrative Agent
and/or such Lender, as applicable, under this subsection, which statement shall be conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.
(x) Administrative Agent and Lenders will use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with
legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or
reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under this subsection, including, if
requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or affiliate of the
applicable Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to
the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such
increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (A) would
not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower
and (B) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to the applicable Lender as determined by
such Lender in its sole discretion.
(xi) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Lender organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside the United States of America becomes a party hereto, such Lender shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as
required by the IRS Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal
Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly
completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to it
hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax
and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax under the Code. Each such Lender
shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the
date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower and Administrative Agent and (y) obtain
such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall not be
required to pay any amount pursuant to subsection (v) above to any Lender that is organized under
the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America if such Lender fails to comply
with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Lender fails to deliver the above forms or
other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from such payment to such Lender
such amounts as are required by the IRS Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the
Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or
other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and
expenses (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the
allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the
Administrative Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the repayment
of Debt and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.
30
(d) 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 Applicable 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.
(e) 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 Administrative Agent or any 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 (but not subject to any Prepayment
Premium or Spread Maintenance Premium) and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums
paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use or forbearance 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 2.6 Loan Payments.
(a) Payment Before Maturity. Borrower shall make a payment to Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the
Closing Date through the last day of the Interest Accrual Period in which the Closing Date occurs
(unless the Closing Date is on a Monthly Payment Date, in which case no such separate payment of
interest shall be due). Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender
on each Monthly Payment Date the interest accrued on the Loan for the preceding Interest Accrual
Period (each such payment, the “Monthly Payment Amount”).
(b) Payment on Maturity. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account
of each 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 Security Instrument
and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due 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 Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender promptly following demand therefor an amount equal to the lesser of five
percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by Applicable Law in order to
defray the expense incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in handling and processing such
delinquent payment and to compensate Administrative Agents and Lenders for the loss of the use of
such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the
other Loan Documents.
31
(d) Method and Place of Payment.
(i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein and subject to the provisions of
Section 9.5 hereof, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be
made to Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M., California time, on the date when
due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately
available funds at Administrative Agent’s office, and any funds received by Administrative
Agent after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the
next succeeding Business Day.
(ii) Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender
under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid by Administrative Agent to such Lender by
wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions
provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of
such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event the
Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender on the Business Day on which
Administrative Agent is in receipt of such amounts (provided the same are received on such
Business Day not later than 11:00 A.M., California time), the Administrative Agent shall pay
interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to
time in effect beginning on such Business Day.
(iii) 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
deemed to be the immediately succeeding Business Day.
(iv) 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.
Section 2.7 Prepayments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. Prior to the Lockout Release Date, the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part. After the Lockout Release
Date, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, at its option and
upon not less than thirty (30) days prior revocable notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to
Administrative Agent, prepay the Debt in whole but not in part; provided that such prepayment is
accompanied by the Prepayment Premium, if any. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to
accept any prepayment for the account of Lenders unless it is accompanied by the Prepayment
Premium, if any, due in connection therewith. Any prepayment received by Administrative Agent on
a date other than the last day of any Interest Accrual Period shall include interest which would
have accrued from such date of prepayment through and including the last day of the Interest
Accrual Period during which such prepayment is being made (such amounts, the “Interest
Shortfall”). Additionally, Borrower shall pay the Prepayment Premium, any Interest Rate
Protection Breakage Costs and any Breakage Costs in connection with any prepayment of the Loan.
Any partial prepayment made in accordance with this Section 2.7 shall be applied in accordance
with the definition of Allocated Loan
32
Amount. Borrower hereby agrees that in the event Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and
fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with the Prepayment Notice and the terms of this Section
2.7 (a “Prepayment Failure”), Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and Lenders from and
against, and shall be responsible for, all Losses (including any breakage costs) incurred by
Administrative Agent and Lenders with respect to any such Prepayment Failure, provided that such
indemnity shall not, as to Administrative Agent or any Lender, be available to the extent that
such Losses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, illegal acts, bad faith or willful misconduct
of such Person.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Administrative Agent actually
receives a distribution of Net Proceeds for the account of Lenders, and if such Net Proceeds are
not made available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding principal
balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together
with any applicable Interest Shortfall, any Interest Rate Protection Breakage Costs and any
Breakage Costs and such prepayment shall be applied to the Debt in accordance with Section 7.4(c)
hereof. Any prepayment received by Administrative Agent, pursuant to this Section 2.7(b), on a
date other than the last day of an Interest Accrual Period, at Borrower’s request, shall be held
by Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Loan in an interest-bearing account
(bearing interest at a rate established by Administrative Agent or its servicing agent, which may
or may not be the highest rate then available), with such interest accruing to the benefit of
Borrower (and shall be taxable to Borrower), with such prepayment being applied by Administrative
Agent on the last day of the Interest Rate Accrual Period in which such prepayment was received.
No Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section
2.7(b).
(c) Prepayments After Default. If during the continuance of an Event of Default (and
prior to the Lockout Release Date), payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is
tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, then Borrower, such
purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay, in addition to the outstanding principal
balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, (i)
an amount equal to the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the outstanding principal balance of
the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied and (y) the Spread Maintenance Premium, (ii) any Interest
Shortfall, (iii) any Breakage Costs, and (iv) any Interest Rate Protection Breakage Costs.
Section 2.8 Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
(a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an
Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price. The
Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall be for a period
equal to the term of the Loan and (iv) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the
principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit
directly into the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate
Protection Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be
deemed to exist if the Properties are transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure
33
or deed-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate
Protection Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under
the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent an executed
counterpart of such Interest Rate Protection Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the
assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and require that payments be
deposited directly into the Cash Management Account).
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the
Interest Rate Protection Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate
Protection Agreement to Borrower or Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall be
deposited immediately into the Cash Management Account. Borrower shall take all actions
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Administrative Agent’s and any Lender’s
rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty
and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement;
(ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement by the
Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and
34

Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally,
and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(f) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent any losses (including, without limitation,
loss of bargain), costs (including, without limitation, cost of funding), and reasonable expenses

Section 2.9 Releases. Except as set forth in this Section 2.9, no repayment or prepayment of
all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result
in, the release of any lien of any Security Instrument on any Individual Property.
(a) Release of Individual Property. On and after the Lockout Release Date, Borrower
may obtain the release of an Individual Property (the “Released Property”) from the lien of the
applicable Security Instrument (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s
obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Released Property (other than those
expressly stated to survive) (such release, a “Partial Release”), upon the satisfaction of each of
the following conditions:
35
(i) Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with not less than ten (10) Business
Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by Administrative Agent) prior written
notice of the proposed Partial Release (a “Partial Release Notice”), which such Partial
Release Notice shall be revocable by Borrower at any time without penalty so long as
Borrower reimburses Administrative Agent and Lenders for any reasonable costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the requested Partial Release;
(ii) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the
applicable Partial Release is requested or at the time that the applicable Partial Release
occurs;
(iii) Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, not less than ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date of the Partial Release, a release of lien (and related Loan
Documents) for the Released Property for execution by Administrative Agent. Such release
shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Released Property is
located and shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender.
In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Administrative Agent reasonably
requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with the Partial Release, together with
an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (A) is in compliance with all
Legal Requirements, (B) will effect the Partial Release in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, and (C) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the liens, security
interests and other rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Loan Documents not
being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Properties subject to the
Loan Documents not being released);
(iv) Borrower shall prepay the Loan in accordance with the applicable terms and
conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 2.7 hereof, in an amount equal to
the Adjusted Release Amount applicable to the Released Property and shall pay any Prepayment
Premium, Interest Shortfall, Breakage Costs, Interest Rate Protection Breakage Costs, and
all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents in
connection with such partial prepayment. Such prepayment in the amount of the applicable
Adjusted Release Amount shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, be
applied (A) first, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount of the Released Property to zero and
(B) second, pro-rata to reduce the Allocated Loan Amounts of each Unreleased Property
(defined below);
(v) After giving effect to the Partial Release, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the
Properties then remaining subject to the applicable Security Instruments (collectively, the
“Unreleased Properties” and, each, an “Unreleased Property”) shall be equal to or greater
than 1.15 to 1.00;
(vi) After giving effect to the Partial Release, the Loan-to-Value Ratio for the
Unreleased Properties shall be no greater than fifty-nine percent (59%) based upon updated
Appraisals for each of the Unreleased Properties);
(vii) Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with reasonable evidence that, other
than the Security Instrument, and any other liens permitted under this
36
Agreement, there are
no liens, mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments, as the case may be,
encumbering the remaining Property remaining subject to the lien of the Security Instrument
which would have priority over the lien and security interest of the remaining Security
Instrument, which evidence may be in the form of a “bring down” or “date down” or other
permitted endorsement of the title insurance policy issued by the title company in
connection with the origination of the Loan;
(viii) Borrower shall deliver such other documentation, instruments and/or other
information with respect to the Partial Release that Lender reasonably requests; and
(ix) Borrower shall pay all of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the Partial Release, including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and Appraisal costs.
(b) Release on 100% Condemnation or Casualty. In the event of a Casualty or
Condemnation whereby Net Proceeds are applied to the Debt pursuant to the terms of Section 7.4
hereof, if the Debt is reduced as the result of Administrative Agent’s receipt of proceeds with
respect to a Condemnation or Casualty affecting one hundred percent (100%) of an Individual
Property such that the Allocated Loan Amount for such Individual Property with respect to which
the insurance proceeds or Award received is reduced to zero at Requisite Lenders’ discretion
(which must include the consent of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) as contemplated
in the definition of “Allocated Loan Amount” in Section 1.1 of this Agreement, such Individual
Property shall thereupon be released by Administrative Agent from the lien of the applicable
Security Instrument (and related Loan Documents).
Section 2.10 Release Upon payment in full of the Debt, and satisfaction of all the
covenants, warranties, undertakings and agreements made in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents (including, without limitation, repayment in full of the principal, interest and other
amounts owing under the Note), and all obligations, if any, of Lenders for future advances have
been terminated, then, and in that event only, Administrative Agent shall release upon Borrower’s
request and at Borrower’s cost and expense, without representation or warranty, the Property or
that portion thereof then held hereunder. The recitals of any matters or facts in any release
executed hereunder shall be conclusive proof of the truthfulness thereof. To the extent permitted
by law, the release may describe the grantee as “the person or persons legally entitled thereto”.
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to determine the rights of persons claiming to be
rightful grantees of any release. When the Property has been fully released, the last such
release shall operate as a reassignment of all future rents, issues and profits of the Property to
the person or persons legally entitled thereto
Section 2.11 Pro Rata Treatment.
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) the borrowing from Lenders under Section
2.2 shall be made from the Lenders and each payment of the fees under this Agreement shall be paid
for the account of Lenders and/or Administrative Agent, as applicable, (b) each payment or
prepayment of principal of the Loan by the Borrower shall be made for the account
37
of the Lenders
pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Individual Loan
Commitments held by them, and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made
for the account of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on their Individual
Loan Commitments then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
Section 2.12 Sharing of Payments, Etc.
If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of its Note or of interest thereon through
the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim, or by any other means (including
direct payment), and such payment results in such Lender receiving a greater payment than it would
have been entitled to had such payment been paid directly to Administrative Agent for disbursement
to Lenders, then such Lender shall promptly purchase for cash from the other Lenders participations
in the Loan in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share ratably the benefit of such payment. To such end
Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold
or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that
any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Individual Loan Commitments
owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or
similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder
of the Loan in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender
to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the
Borrower.
Section 2.13 Several Obligations.
No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform any obligation
to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to perform
any obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any
other Lender to make or to perform any obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
The liability of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint.

“affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (c) subject to any other federal or
state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
Section 3.27 Fraudulent Conveyance. Borrower (a) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan
Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (b) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving
effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately
following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The
fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the
maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as
conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that
it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and
other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
Section 3.28 Embargoed Person. To Borrower’s knowledge, as of the date hereof and at all
times throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any transfers of interests
permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, (a) none of the funds or other assets of Borrower or
Guarantor constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any person,
entity or government subject to trade restrictions under U.S. law, including but not limited to,
the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1701 et seq., The Trading with the
Enemy Act, 50 U.S.C. App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder
with the result that the investment in Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly
or indirectly), is prohibited by Applicable Law or the Loan made by Lenders is in violation of
Applicable Law (“Embargoed Person”); (b) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature
whatsoever in Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower
and/or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by Applicable Law
or the Loan is in violation of Applicable Law; and (c) none of the funds of Borrower or Guarantor,
as applicable, have been derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in
Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by
Applicable Law or the Loan is in violation of Applicable Law.
45
With respect to parties owning
direct or indirect interests in Guarantor, Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that
Borrower has relied exclusively on its U.S. broker-dealer network to implement the normal and
customary investor screening practices mandated by Applicable Law and FINRA regulations in making
the foregoing representation.

Attorney General of the United States or any other department, agency or office of the United
States claiming a violation or possible violation of the Patriot Act; (v) not listed as a Specially
Designated Terrorist or as a “blocked” person on any lists maintained by the OFAC pursuant to the
Patriot Act or any other list of terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to any
of the rules and regulations of the OFAC issued pursuant to the Patriot Act or on any other list of
terrorists or terrorist organizations maintained pursuant to the Patriot Act; (vi) not a person who
has been determined by competent authority to be subject to any of the prohibitions contained in
the Patriot Act; and (vii) not owned or controlled by or now acting and or will knowingly in the
future act for or on behalf of any person named in the Annex or any other list promulgated under
the Patriot Act or any other person who has been determined to be subject to the prohibitions

Guarantor, Administrative Agent and each Lender acknowledges that Borrower has relied exclusively
on its U.S. broker-dealer network to implement the normal and customary investor screening
practices mandated by Applicable Law and FINRA regulations in making the foregoing representation.
Borrower covenants and agrees that in the event Borrower receives any notice that Borrower or
Guarantor (or any of their respective beneficial owners, affiliates or participants) or any Person
that has an interest in the Property become listed on the Annex or any other list promulgated under
the Patriot Act or is indicted, arraigned, or custodially detained on charges involving money
laundering or predicate crimes to money laundering, Borrower shall immediately notify
Administrative Agent. At Requisite Lenders’ option (which must include the consent of any Lender
then acting as Administrative Agent), it shall be an Event of Default hereunder if Borrower,
Guarantor or any other party to any Loan Document becomes listed on any list promulgated under the
Patriot Act or is indicted, arraigned or custodially detained on charges involving money laundering
or predicate crimes to money laundering.
46
(b) The Patriot Act requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain
information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such
financial institution. Consequently, Administrative Agent (for itself and/or as Administrative
Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and the Borrower shall provide to
Administrative Agent, the Borrower’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other
identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent and/or any such Lender
to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a
deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan
or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

there are no conditions which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a default thereunder. To Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule

Section 3.34 No Change in Facts or Circumstances.
All information submitted by Borrower or Guarantor to Administrative Agent and Lenders and in

connection with the Loan or in satisfaction of the terms thereof and all statements of fact made by
Borrower and/or Guarantor in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, are accurate, complete
and correct in all material respects. There has been no material adverse change in any condition,
fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or
otherwise misleading in any material respect or that would otherwise have a Material Adverse
Effect.
Borrower agrees that, unless expressly provided otherwise, and subject to the effect of any
Partial Release, all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in this Article 3

ARTICLE 4.
BORROWER COVENANTS
From the date hereof (but subject to the effect of any Partial Release) and until payment and
performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument,
the Note and the other Loan Documents or the earlier release of the lien of the Security Instrument
(and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Security
Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with
Administrative Agent and each Lender that:
Section 4.1 Existence. Each Borrower will continuously maintain (a) its existence and shall
not dissolve or permit its dissolution, (b) its rights to do business in the applicable State and
(c) its franchises and trade names, if any.
Section 4.2 Applicable Law.
(a) Borrower shall promptly comply and shall cause the Property to comply, in all material
respects, with all Applicable Law affecting the Property, or the use thereof, including, without
limitation, all Environmental Laws.
(b) Borrower shall from time to time, upon Administrative Agent’s request, provide
Administrative Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the
Property complies with all Applicable Law or is exempt from compliance with Applicable Law.
(c) Borrower shall give prompt notice to Administrative Agent of the receipt by Borrower of
any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Law and upon learning of the commencement of
any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Law.
(d) After prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the validity of any Applicable Law, the applicability of any Applicable Law to
Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Applicable Law, provided that (i) no Event
of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and
shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be permitted by and conducted
in accordance with all Applicable Law; (iii) neither the applicable Individual Property nor any

49
Borrower shall furnish such security as may be
required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, to insure

therewith. Administrative Agent may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to cause
compliance with such Applicable Law at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative
Agent, the validity, applicability or violation of such Applicable Law is finally established or
the applicable Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of
being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2(d), to the extent any Lease with a
Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such
Tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in
accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.2(d), the provisions set forth in such Lease
shall govern and control. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event
that a Tenant under any Lease exercises its right to contest thereunder and agrees to deliver to
Administrative Agent any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as
it relates to such Tenant’s right to contest.
Section 4.3 Maintenance and Use of Property. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The
Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or altered (except for
normal replacement of the Personal Property or as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 4.21
hereof) without the consent of Requisite Lenders (which must include the consent of any Lender
then acting as Administrative Agent), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Subject to the terms and conditions of, and the rights of Tenants under, the Leases (and
any applicable SNDA), Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property

Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private
restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the
uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof. If under applicable zoning provisions
the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will
not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or the nonconforming Improvement to be
abandoned without the express written consent of Requisite Lenders (which must include the consent
of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.
Section 4.4 Waste. Borrower shall not, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause
each Tenant occupying the Property (or any portion thereof) to not, commit or suffer any waste of
the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially
increase the risk of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any
action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be
done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security
50
for the
Loan. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Requisite Lenders (which must
include the consent of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent), but subject to the
Permitted Encumbrances, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or
production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Property, regardless of the
depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.
Section 4.5 Taxes and Other Charges.
(a) Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter
levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to delinquency;
provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay, or cause to be paid, Taxes and Other
Charges shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of
Section 8.6 hereof. Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent receipts for the payment of the
Taxes and the Other Charges or other evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the Taxes
and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than five (5) Business Days
prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid
(provided, however, that (i) Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes
and Other Charges in the event that such Taxes and Other Charges have been paid by Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 8.6 hereof and (ii) if the Tenant under a Lease is required to pay such
Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable Governmental Authority and Borrower timely
requests and diligently pursues evidence of such payment, and further provided that no enforcement
action has been commenced by the applicable Governmental Authority resulting from Tenant’s failure
to pay Taxes or Other Charges, then Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to
provide such evidence to Administrative Agent). Borrower shall not suffer any lien or charge
whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property (or any portion thereof),
other than Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any
lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property (or any
portion thereof), and shall promptly pay, or cause to be paid, for all utility services provided to
the Property (or any portion thereof).
(b) After prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other
Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such
proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other
instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such
proceeding shall be permitted by and conducted in accordance with all Applicable Law; (iii) neither
the applicable Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of
being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final
determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs,
interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall
suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Individual
Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be reasonably required in the
proceeding, or deliver to Administrative Agent such reserve deposits as may be requested by
Administrative Agent, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all
interest and penalties thereon. Administrative Agent may pay over any such cash
51
deposit or part
thereof held by Administrative Agent to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the
reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, the entitlement of such claimant is established or
the applicable Individual Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of
being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost or there shall be any danger of the lien of the
Security Instrument being primed by any related lien.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.5(b), to the extent the Lease with a
Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such
Tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in
accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.5(b), the provisions set forth in such Lease
shall govern and control. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event
that a Tenant under any Lease exercises its right to contest thereunder and agrees to deliver to
Administrative Agent any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as
it relates to such Tenant’s right to contest.
Section 4.6 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Administrative Agent
upon learning of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing
against Borrower, any Tenant or any Individual Property which might have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.7 Access to Property. Subject to the terms and conditions of, and the rights of
Tenants under, the Leases (and any applicable SNDA), Borrower shall permit agents, representatives
and employees of Administrative Agent and each Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof
at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice. Any such inspection shall be at the expense of
the inspecting party unless an Event of Default is continuing in which event the cost of such
inspection shall be paid by Borrower.
Section 4.8 Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly advise Administrative Agent of any
material adverse change in Borrower’s and/or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or of
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which Borrower has knowledge.
Section 4.9 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Except with respect to any claim by Borrower
against Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, Borrower shall cooperate fully with Administrative
Agent and each Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental
Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender
hereunder or any rights obtained by Administrative Agent and/or any Lender under any of the Note,
the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit
Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, at their election, to participate in any such proceedings.
Section 4.10 Performance by Borrower. Borrower shall in a timely manner observe, perform and
fulfill in all material respects each and every covenant, term and provision to be observed and
performed by Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan
Documents and any other agreement or instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property and any
amendments, modifications of changes thereto.
52
Section 4.11 Awards. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Leases (and any applicable
SNDA), Borrower shall cooperate with Administrative Agent in obtaining for the benefit of Lenders
the benefits of any Awards or insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable to Borrower in
connection with the Property, and Administrative Agent shall be reimbursed for any reasonable
expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, and the payment by Administrative Agent of the actual expense of an appraisal on
behalf of Borrower in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part
thereof) out of such Awards or insurance proceeds.
Section 4.12 Books and Records.
(a) Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with GAAP (or
such other basis of accounting acceptable to Administrative Agent and consistently applied), and
furnish to Administrative Agent for distribution to each of the Lenders:
(i) quarterly certified rent rolls (in the form approved by Administrative Agent in

and dated by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, within forty-five (45) days after the end of

such calendar year presented on a monthly basis consistent with the annual operating
statement described above for each Individual Property, including cash flow projections for
the upcoming year and all proposed capital replacements and improvements, which such budget
shall not take effect until approved by Administrative Agent (each such annual budget,
individually and/or collectively (as the context may require), an “Annual Budget”).
Administrative Agent’s failure to approve an Annual Budget within thirty (30) days after
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Annual
53
Budget shall be deemed to constitute
Administrative Agent’s approval of such Annual Budget, provided that said written request to
Administrative Agent conspicuously states in 12 point or larger bold type “PURSUANT TO
SECTION 4.12(a)(v) OF THE
LOAN AGREEMENT, BORROWER’S REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF THE
ANNUAL BUDGET SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT DOES NOT DECLINE APPROVAL IN
WRITING OR REQUEST ADDITIONAL INFORMATION IN WRITING WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF THIS
LETTER.”
(vi) [Intentionally omitted]; and

received from tenants and any other information requested by Administrative Agent, in
reasonable detail and certified by a Responsible Officer of Borrower to be true and
complete, but no more frequently than quarterly; and

institution, along with any authority or release necessary for Administrative Agent to
obtain information regarding such accounts directly from such financial institutions.
(c) Within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s request (on its own behalf or on
behalf of any Lender), Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent (and shall cause Guarantor to
furnish to Administrative Agent) with such other additional financial or management information
(including State and Federal tax returns) as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by
Administrative Agent or any Lender in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent, each Lender and their agents convenient facilities
for the examination and audit of any such books and records.

since the date of
such financial statement except as disclosed by Borrower in a writing delivered to Administrative
Agent. Borrower agrees that all Required Financial Items shall not contain any misrepresentation
or omission of a material fact.
(e) Borrower acknowledges the importance to Administrative Agent and Lenders of the timely
delivery of each of the items required by this Section 4.12 (each, a “Required Financial Item”
and, collectively, the “Required Financial Items”). In the event Borrower fails to deliver to
Administrative Agent any of the Required Financial Items within ten (10) Business Days after
Administrative Agent’s delivery of notice to Borrower of Borrower’s failure to deliver the
Required Financial Items (each such event, a “Reporting Failure”), in addition to constituting an
Event of Default hereunder and without limiting Administrative Agent and Lenders’ other rights and
remedies with respect to the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay upon
demand to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders the sum of $1,000.00 per occurrence for
each Reporting Failure. It shall constitute a further Event of Default hereunder if any such
payment is not received by Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days of the date on which such
payment is so demanded and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to the exercise of all of its
rights and remedies provided hereunder.
Section 4.13 Estoppel Certificates.
(a) After request by Administrative Agent, Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days of such

which the Rents thereunder have been paid pursuant to the Leases, (xi) whether or not, to
Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry of the Manager, any of the lessees under the Leases are in
default under the Leases, and, if any of the lessees are in default, setting forth the specific
nature of all such defaults, (xii) the amount of security deposits held by Borrower under each
Lease and that such amounts are consistent with the amounts required under each Lease, and (xiii)
as to any other matters reasonably requested by Administrative Agent and reasonably related to the
Leases, the obligations created and evidenced hereby and by the Security Instrument or the
Property. It being understood that Administrative Agent shall not exercise its right, pursuant to
this subsection, more than two (2) times during each calendar year unless there is an Event of
Default or a sale, participation or assignment to an Assignee or Participant, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Administrative Agent for
the benefit of Lenders, promptly upon request, duly executed estoppel certificates
55
from any one or
more Tenants as required by Administrative Agent attesting to such facts regarding the Lease as
Administrative Agent may require, including, but not limited to, attestations that each Lease
covered thereby is in full force and effect with no defaults thereunder on the part of any party,
that none of the Rents have been paid more than one month in advance, except as security, and that
the lessee claims no defense or offset against the full and timely performance of its obligations
under the Lease. It being understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
subsection (b), (1) to the extent that a particular Lease provides for a specific form of estoppel
Administrative Agent shall accept such estoppel in the Lease to satisfy this subsection (b) and
(2) Administrative Agent shall not exercise its right, pursuant to this subsection, more than two
(2) times during each calendar year unless there is an Event of Default or a sale, participation
or assignment to an Assignee or Participant, as applicable.
(c) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Administrative Agent for
the benefit of Lenders, promptly upon request, estoppel certificates from each party under the
Property Documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. It being
understood that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (c), (1) to the
extent that a particular Property Document provides for a specific form of estoppel Administrative
Agent shall accept such estoppel to satisfy this subsection (c) and (2) Administrative Agent shall
not exercise its right, pursuant to this subsection, more than two (2) times during each calendar
year unless there is an Event of Default or a sale, participation or assignment to an Assignee or
Participant, as applicable.
Section 4.14 Leases and Rents.
(a) All Leases and renewals of Leases (provided, however, that any renewal of existing Leases
shall be subject to the terms of such Lease and any applicable SNDA) executed after the date
hereof shall (i) provide for rental rates reasonably comparable to existing local market rates for
similar properties, (ii) be on commercially reasonable terms with unaffiliated, third parties
(unless otherwise consented to by Lender), (iii) provide that such Lease is subordinate to the
Security Instrument and that the lessee will attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure
sale, (iv) not contain any terms which would have a Material Adverse Effect and (v) with respect
to any Major Lease, shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval as provided herein.
Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Requisite Lenders’ (which must include
the approval of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent), such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, enter into, enter into any agreement with respect
to (including, without limitation, any non-disturbance agreement), renew, extend, amend, modify,
permit any assignment of, waive any provisions of, release any party to, terminate, exercise any
recapture rights with respect to, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or
shorten the term of, in each case, any Major Lease; provided, however, that such consent shall not
be required to the extent that the Major Lease provides for an extension or renewal that may be
exercised in the Tenant’s discretion. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall execute
and deliver a Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement on Administrative Agent’s
then current standard form (or such other reasonable form requested by such Tenants and reasonably
approved by Administrative Agent) to Tenants under future Major Leases approved by Requisite
Lenders (as set forth above) promptly upon request with such commercially
56
reasonable changes as
may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, as are reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent.
(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform in all material respects 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, (A) Borrower
shall deliver written notice of Borrower’s anticipated enforcement action with respect to any
Major Lease not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the taking of such enforcement action
and (B) Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Requisite
Lenders’ prior approval (which must include the approval by any Lender then acting as
Administrative Agent), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (iii)
shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security
deposits); (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 Applicable Law. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Administrative
Agent with executed copies of all Leases.
(c) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall not willfully
withhold from Administrative Agent any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment,
modification, waiver of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or
shortening of the term of, any Major Lease during the term of the Loan. Borrower further agrees
to provide Administrative Agent with written notice of a Tenant “going dark” under such Tenant’s
Lease within five (5) Business Days after Borrower learns that such Tenant “goes dark”.
(d) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent in writing, within two (2) Business Days
following receipt thereof, of Borrower’s receipt of any termination fee or payment (“Lease Event
Payment”) paid by any Tenant under any Lease in consideration of any termination, modification or
amendment or settlement of any Lease or any release or discharge of any Tenant under any Lease
from any obligation thereunder (a “Lease Event”). Borrower further covenants and agrees that (i)
Borrower shall hold any such Lease Event Payment in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of Lenders, and (ii) (A) in the event such Lease Event Payment is less than
$50,000.00 and such Lease Event does not have a Material Adverse Effect, such Lease Event Payment
shall be payable to Borrower or (B) in the event such Lease Event Payment equals or exceeds
$50,000.00 or such Lease Event has a Material Adverse Effect, such Lease Event Payment shall be
placed by Borrower in reserve with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, to be
disbursed by Administrative Agent for tenant improvement and leasing commission costs with respect
to the applicable Individual Property and/or for payment of the Debt (without any Prepayment
Premium or Spread Maintenance Premium being due in connection therewith) or otherwise in
connection with the Loan and/or the applicable Individual Property, as so determined by
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion.
(e) If Borrower shall materially default in the performance or observance of any term,
covenant or condition of any Lease and shall fail to cure the same prior to the expiration of any
applicable cure period provided thereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be
57
under no
obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to
cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of such Lease on the part of Borrower to be
performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and
under such Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. If any party to any Lease shall
deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default under such Lease, such notice shall constitute
full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in
reliance thereon.
Section 4.15 Management Agreement.
(a) Borrower shall (i) diligently perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants
and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed, observed and
enforced to the end that all things shall be done which are necessary to keep unimpaired the
rights of Borrower under the Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of
the giving 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 and deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice.
Without Requisite Lenders’ prior written consent (which must include the consent of any Lender
then acting as Administrative Agent), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed, Borrower shall not surrender the Management Agreement, consent to the assignment by
Manager of its interest under the Management Agreement, or terminate or cancel the Management
Agreement as it relates to each Individual Property or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend
the Management Agreement as it relates to each Individual Property, in any respect, either orally
or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as
further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms,
covenants and conditions of this Agreement, all the rights, privileges and prerogatives of
Borrower to surrender the Management Agreement or to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend the Management Agreement as it relates to each Individual Property in
any respect, and any such surrender of the Management Agreement or termination, cancellation,
modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Management Agreement without the
consents required pursuant to this Section 4.15(a) shall be void and of no force and effect;
provided that, Borrower shall not be required to obtain Administrative Agent’s consent with
respect to any non-material changes, supplements, alterations or amendments to the Management
Agreement. If Borrower shall default 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 the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and
without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent
shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or
take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the
Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed
or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the
Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default. Administrative Agent and any
Person designated by Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, subject to the terms
and conditions of, and the rights of Tenants, under the Leases (and any applicable SNDA), the
right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any
58
such action. If Manager shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice sent to
Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection
to Administrative Agent and Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative
Agent or any Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall notify Administrative
Agent if Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an affiliate any or all of its management
responsibilities under the Management Agreement with respect to each Individual Property.
Borrower shall, from time to time, use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Manager
under the Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by
Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested by
Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender. Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if
any, to extend or renew the term of the Management Agreement upon demand by Administrative Agent
(as directed by Requisite Lenders (which must include any Lender then acting as Administrative
Agent)) made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be
exercised, and, should Borrower so fail to exercise such option, Borrower hereby expressly
authorizes and appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in
the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be
deemed to be coupled with an interest. Any sums expended by Administrative Agent pursuant to this
paragraph shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date such cost is incurred to the date
of payment to Administrative Agent shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be
secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be
immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent or any Lender therefor.
(b) Without limitation of the foregoing, if any Individual Property is removed from the
application of the Management Agreement pursuant to the Assignment of Management Agreement or for
any other reason, then Requisite Lenders (which must include the approval of any Lender then
acting as Administrative Agent), at their option, may require Borrower to engage, in accordance
with the terms and conditions set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a new manager
(the “New Manager”) to manage the applicable Individual Property, which such New Manager shall be
a Qualified Manager. New Manager shall be engaged by Borrower pursuant to a written management
agreement that complies with the terms hereof and of the Assignment of Management Agreement and is
otherwise satisfactory to Requisite Lenders (which must include any Lender then acting as
Administrative Agent) in all respects. New Manager and Borrower shall execute an Assignment of
Management Agreement in the form then used by Administrative Agent. To the extent that such New
Manager is an Affiliated Manager, Borrower’s engagement of such New Manager shall, if required by
Administrative Agent, be subject to Borrower’s delivery to Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of Lenders, of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management
agreement.
(c) The parties hereto agree that, as of the date hereof, Manager (Xxxx Realty Advisors,
Inc., an Arizona corporation) is an Affiliated Manager. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth in Section 4.15(a) above, Borrower and/or Guarantor may, without Administrative Agent’s
or any Lender’s consent, remove the Property from the Management Agreement provided the Property
remains managed at all times by a Qualified Manager and the provisions of Section 4.15(b) are
otherwise satisfied. Further, in the event that Manager (Xxxx Realty Advisors, Inc., an Arizona
corporation) is no longer an Affiliated Manager, then
59
Borrower and/or Guarantor shall replace Manager with a Qualified Manager and otherwise
satisfy the provisions of Section 4.15(b).
Section 4.16 Payment for Labor and Materials.
(a) Subject to Section 4.16(b), Borrower will promptly pay, or cause to be paid pursuant to
the terms of any applicable Lease, when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and
specifically fabricated materials incurred by Borrower in connection with the Property (any such
bills and costs, a “Work Charge”) and never permit to exist in respect of the Property or any part
thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests
hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part
thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security
interests created hereby and by the Security Instrument, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) After prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with
due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Borrower or
to any Individual Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same,
provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be
permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which
Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be
conducted in accordance with all Applicable Law; (iii) neither the applicable Individual Property
nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent and present danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination
thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable
or unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the
applicable Individual Property or Borrower shall have paid the same (or shall have caused the same
to be paid) under protest; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) such security
as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, to
insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection
therewith. Administrative Agent may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay
for such Work Charge at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, the
validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the applicable
Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent and present
danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.16(b), to the extent the Lease with a
Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such
Tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in
accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are
inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.16(b), the provisions set forth in such Lease
shall govern and control. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent in writing in the event
that a Tenant under any Lease exercises its right to contest thereunder and agrees to deliver to
Administrative Agent any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant to such Lease as
it relates to such Tenant’s right to contest.
60
Section 4.17 Performance of Other Agreements. Borrower shall observe and perform in all material respects
each and every term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement
or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property, or given by Borrower to
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, for the purpose of further securing the Debt and
any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.
Section 4.18 Debt Cancellation. Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any material
claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any
Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.
Section 4.19 ERISA
(a) Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action
taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender of any of
their rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or
administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b) Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent such
certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested
by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee
benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or other retirement arrangement, which is
subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code, or a “governmental plan” within the
meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating
investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of
the following circumstances is true:
|
(A) |
|
Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities,
within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101(b)(2); |
|
|
(B) |
|
Less than 25 percent of each outstanding class of equity
interests in Borrower are held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning
of § 3(42) of ERISA or 29 C.F.R.§ 2510.3 101(f)(2); or |
|
|
(C) |
|
Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate
operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R § 2510.3 101(c) or (e) or an
investment company registered under The Investment Company Act of 1940. |
Section 4.20 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of
any Individual Property with (a) any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the
applicable Individual Property, or (b) any portion of the applicable Individual Property which may
be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes
which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the
real property portion of the applicable Individual Property.
61
Section 4.21 Alterations. Requisite Lenders’ prior approval (which must include the approval of any Lender
then acting as Administrative Agent) shall be required in connection with any alterations to any
Improvements (a) that may have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the cost of which (including any
related alteration, improvement or replacement) is reasonably anticipated to exceed the applicable
Alteration Threshold or (c) that are structural in nature; provided, however, that with respect to
items (a) and (b) above, such approval may be granted or withheld in their reasonable discretion,
and with respect to item (c) above, such approval may be granted or withheld in their sole
discretion. If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to any
alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the applicable Alteration Threshold for
any Individual Property, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent as security for
the payment of such amounts (the “Alteration Security”) and as additional security for Borrower’s
obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following as determined by Borrower: (i) cash, (ii)
U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities acceptable to Administrative Agent, or (iv) a completion
bond acceptable to Administrative Agent. 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 over the Alteration Threshold. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence to
the contrary, in the event a Lease permits the Tenant thereunder to perform alterations without
Borrower’s consent or approval or without any requirement to deliver any Alteration Security as
required hereunder, and such Tenant maintains a long term unsecured debt rating of “BBB+” or better
by S&P (or an equivalent rating by the other Rating Agencies), then such Alteration Security shall
not be required hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.21, to the extent the Lease with a
Tenant remains in effect and such Tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such
Tenant shall have the right to perform any alternations explicitly set forth in such Lease (which
do not require Borrower’s consent) in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent
such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 4.21, the provisions
set forth in such Lease shall govern and control.
Section 4.22 Property Document Covenants. Borrower agrees that without the Requisite Lenders’ prior
written consent (which must include the consent of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower will not enter
into any new Property Documents or execute modifications to any existing Property Documents if such
new Property Document or such modifications will have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall
enforce, shall comply with, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of the
parties to each Property Document to comply with all of the terms and conditions contained in such
Property Document in all material respects.
|

modify, terminate or cancel any material provisions of the Development Agreements without the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

Further, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to confirm that the Immediate Repairs
have been completed within sixty (60) days of the date hereof and, if such repairs have not yet
been completed, Borrower shall promptly deliver to each applicable Tenant a follow-up notice that
such repairs are required to be completed.

least once each year thereafter based on the greatest of: (x) Borrower’s reasonable estimate
of the gross income from the applicable Individual Property and (y) the highest gross income
received with respect to such Individual Property during the term of the Loan for any full
calendar year prior to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined, in each
case for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period and (D) containing an extended period of
indemnity endorsement which provides that after the
72
physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued
loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at
prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the applicable
Individual Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first
occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The
net amount of the loss of rents and/or business interruption insurance proceeds, after

applicable aggregate Rent Loss Proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such
monthly installment of Rent Loss Proceeds from such Eligible Account into the Cash
Management Account each month during the performance of such Restoration;

(b) All insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from
time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Administrative
Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business
in the state in which the applicable Individual Property is located and approved by Administrative
Agent. The insurance companies must have a general policy
74
rating of A or better and a financial class of X or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc., and a

this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer, or (ii) separate insurance
concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 7.1(a) to

Borrower obtains (or causes to be obtained) separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy,
Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the same and shall cause certified copies of each
Policy to be delivered as required in Subsection 7.1(a). Any blanket insurance Policy remains
subject to review and approval by Administrative Agent based on the schedule of locations and
values. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to each Individual Property the
amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same
protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Individual Property in compliance with
the provisions of Section 7.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 7.1(a), except for
the Policy referenced in Subsection 7.1(a)(v), shall name Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may

negligence by Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or by any Tenant under any Lease or
other occupant, (B) [Intentionally omitted], (C) exercise by
75
Administrative Agent of any of its rights or remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document, or (D) 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 Administrative Agent and Lenders are
concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby), terminated or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to
Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an insured;
(iii) each “All-Risk” or “Special Perils” Policy shall provide that (A) the issuers
thereof shall give written notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed
ten (10) days prior to its expiration and (B) Administrative Agent is permitted to make
payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to
non-payment of Insurance Premiums;
(iv) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any Insurance
Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and

for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage.
(f) [Intentionally omitted].
(g) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all
insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the
right, after five (5) Business Days prior notice to Borrower (unless Administrative Agent has a
reasonable belief that one or more of the Policies is not in full force and effect or will expire
in less than five (5) Business Days), to take such action as Administrative Agent reasonably deems
necessary to protect the Lenders’ interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the
obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion deems
appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or
in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative
Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear
interest at the Default Rate. In the event Administrative Agent obtains insurance coverage on
behalf of Borrower pursuant to this subsection (g), Borrower shall be permitted to cancel such
insurance coverages provided Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent evidence of Borrower’s
compliance with this Article 7, which such evidence shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s
prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(h) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument 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 then in force concerning the Property (other than those Policies
that are blanket Policies or liability Policies not solely covering the Property) and all proceeds
payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
76
Lenders, or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other
transfer of title.
(i) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding
provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower
maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other
related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance
companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a
“Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or
permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have received
Administrative Agent’s prior written consent thereto.
(j) Borrower hereby represents that, as of the date hereof, none of the insurance policies
required in this Section 7.1 (such insurance policies, the “Applicable Policies”) exclude coverage
for Acts of Terror (defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in
the event that, after the date hereof, any Applicable Policy excludes coverage for Acts of Terror,
Borrower shall obtain and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained) coverage for such
excluded Acts of Terror (the “Terrorism Coverage”), which such Terrorism Coverage shall comply
with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without
limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided, that, Administrative Agent, at
Administrative Agent’s option, may reasonably require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained
the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above. As used above, “Acts of
Terror” shall mean acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the
Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Program Authorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended,
“TRIA”) remains in full force and effect, the provisions of TRIA shall determine what is deemed to
be included within this definition of “Acts of Terror” (provided TRIA continues to cover both
domestic and foreign acts of terrorism).
(k) Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby agree that the Policies maintained by Borrower as
of the date hereof are acceptable and satisfy the requirements set forth in this Article 7.
Section 7.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by
fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to
Administrative Agent and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the
repair and restoration of the applicable Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition
the applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations
as may be reasonably approved by Administrative Agent (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance
with Section 7.4. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs of such Restoration whether
or not such costs are covered by insurance. Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated
to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
77
Section 7.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent notice of the actual or
threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property (or any portion
thereof) of which Borrower has actual knowledge and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of
any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Administrative Agent may
participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Administrative
Agent all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its
expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent,
its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such
proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through
Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of the exercise of such taking), 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 and the Debt shall not
be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent,
after the deduction of reasonable expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the
Debt. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the
condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or
rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a
condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of
the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4. If the Property (or any
portion thereof) is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, of the Award, Administrative Agent 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 Debt.
Section 7.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any
Individual Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of
completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be
disbursed by Administrative Agent to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions
set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a written
undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the
Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs
of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold,
Administrative Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 7.4.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the
following conditions are met:
|
(A) |
|
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; |
|
|
(B) |
|
(1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less
than forty percent (40%) of each of (i) fair market value of the applicable
Individual Property as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, and (ii) |
78
|
|
|
rentable area of the applicable Individual Property has been damaged,
destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event
the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%)
of each of (i) the fair market value of the applicable Individual Property
as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent and (ii) rentable area of
the applicable Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the
perimeter or periphery of the applicable Individual Property, no material
portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking does not
materially impair the existing access to the applicable Individual Property; |
|
|
(C) |
|
Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to
or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total rentable space in the
applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and
delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect
during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the
occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and
Borrower furnishes to Administrative Agent evidence satisfactory to
Administrative Agent that all Tenants under Major Leases shall continue to
operate their respective space at the applicable Individual Property after the
completion of the Restoration; |
|
|
(D) |
|
Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably
practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of
a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including,
without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws; |
|
|
(E) |
|
Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that any operating
deficits which will be incurred with respect to the applicable Individual
Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation
will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage
referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower; |
|
|
(F) |
|
Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that, upon the
completion of the Restoration, the Reimbursements and Other Operating Income
and Underwritable Cash Flow of the applicable Individual Property will be
restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating
expenses of the applicable Individual Property; |
|
|
(G) |
|
Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration
will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months
prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the expiration of the insurance coverage
referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) such time as may be required
under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair
and |
79
|
|
|
restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in
immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation; |
|
|
(H) |
|
Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of Lenders, a completion guaranty in form and substance
satisfactory to Administrative Agent and its counsel pursuant to the provisions
of which Borrower shall guaranty to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, the lien-free completion by Borrower of the Restoration in accordance
with the provisions of this Subsection 7.4(b); |
|
|
(I) |
|
the applicable Individual Property and the use thereof after
the Restoration will be in material compliance with and permitted under the
Property Documents and all Applicable Law; |
|
|
(J) |
|
the Property Documents will remain in full force and effect
during and after the Restoration and a Property Document Event shall not occur
as a result of the applicable Casualty, Condemnation and/or Restoration; and |
|
|
(K) |
|
the Restoration shall be done and completed in a reasonably
expeditious and diligent fashion and in material compliance with the Property
Documents and all Applicable Law. |
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, in an interest-bearing account (bearing interest at a rate established by
Administrative Agent or its servicing agent, which may or may not be the highest rate then
available), and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b),
shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this
Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds
(other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as
directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt
of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (A) 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 related Restoration item have been paid for in full,
and (B) 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 applicable Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to
the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by the title company issuing the
Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be
subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Administrative Agent and by an
independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty
Consultant”), such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits,
licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The
identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in
80
the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Administrative Agent
and the Casualty Consultant, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection
with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation,
reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s reasonable fees,
shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower shall have the right to settle all claims under the
Policies (subject to Administrative Agent’s approval of the final settlement, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), provided that (a) no Event of
Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates
a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which
such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of
such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall, at its election,
have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event
of a Casualty.
(iv) In no event shall Administrative Agent 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, minus
the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Subsection
7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as
part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that Net Proceeds representing 50% of
the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with
respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50%
of the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 7.4(b), be less
than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and
materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall not be released
until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 7.4(b) and that all
approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all
appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Administrative Agent
receives evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration
have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided,
however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Restoration 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 Administrative
Agent 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, and 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 Administrative Agent or by
the title company insuring the lien of the Security Instrument. If required by
Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be
approved by
81
the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net
Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of Lenders, before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.
The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall be held by
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and shall be disbursed for costs actually
incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the
disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b)
shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this
Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders,
after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by
Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Administrative Agent to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, provided no Event
of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security
Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained
and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and
payable, in such order, priority, and proportions as Administrative Agent in its discretion shall
deem proper. If Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the
Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by
Administrative Agent and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Debt.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 7, to the extent any Lease
remains in effect and the Tenant thereunder remains liable for the obligations under such Lease,
the restoration of the Property and disposition of any amounts, awards or payments payable with
respect to any Casualty or Condemnation relating to the applicable Individual Property shall be
governed by the applicable Lease (as amended by the applicable SNDA). Borrower agrees to notify
Administrative Agent in writing in the event that a Tenant under any Lease exercises any right
relating to any Casualty or Condemnation thereunder and agrees to
82
deliver to Administrative Agent any correspondence received or delivered by Borrower pursuant
to such Lease as it relates to any Casualty or Condemnation.
ARTICLE 8.

Section 8.1 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 8.2 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 8.3 Leasing Reserve Funds.
(a) Borrower shall deposit into an Eligible Account held by Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders (the “Leasing Reserve Account”) on each Monthly Payment Date occurring after
the occurrence of a Downgrade Trigger with respect to any Downgrade Tenant, the sum of $100,000.00
per month for each such Downgrade Tenant (the “Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposit”) until such time
as the balance in the Leasing Reserve Account allocable to such Downgrade Tenant equals the
then-current annual base rent for such Downgrade Tenant under its Lease (the “Leasing Reserve
Cap”) whereupon (provided no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing) further
deposits shall be suspended with respect to such Downgrade Tenant. Deposits into the Leasing
Reserve Account shall be for tenant improvements and leasing commissions that may be incurred
following the date hereof. Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.3 are referred to herein
as the “Leasing Reserve Funds”. So long as no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall
disburse funds from the Leasing Reserve Account to Borrower monthly, on a space by space basis.
The portion of the Leasing Reserve Funds to be disbursed with respect to any space shall be equal
to the lesser of (i) the actual costs incurred for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and
other leasing costs for such space pursuant to evidence as required by Section 8.3(c) hereof, and
(ii) an amount determined by multiplying (x) the total number of rentable square feet contained in
such space by (y) the average per square foot base rent paid by the applicable prior Tenant
immediately preceding the termination or expiration of the such Tenant’s Lease, calculated based
on the total square footage of space occupied by such Tenant and the total annual aggregate base
rent.
(b) With respect to the Leasing Reserve Funds, Administrative Agent shall disburse funds to
Borrower only upon Administrative Agent’s receipt and approval of each of the following items with
respect to the applicable space, which Borrower agrees are reasonable:

and the location and total net rentable square feet contained in the applicable space;
(ii) a complete copy of a fully executed new lease of the applicable space or a renewal

at market rent, certified by Borrower to be such;
83
(iii) with respect to any disbursement which, when added to all prior disbursements,
equals ninety-five percent (95%) or less of the Leasing Reserve Funds allocated to such
space:
|
(A) |
|
the Cost Breakdown of the Work; |
|
|
(B) |
|
a certification of an authorized officer of Borrower that: |
(1) the Cost Breakdown is accurate and all Work shown in the Cost
Breakdown has been completed lien-free, in a workmanlike manner and
in accordance with the requirements of the Lease and all applicable
laws;
(2) Borrower has actually paid or incurred the Leasing Costs to be
paid or reimbursed from the disbursement; and
(3) the Leasing Costs to be paid or reimbursed from the disbursement
are not in excess of the market-rates for these items;
|
(C) |
|
paid receipts with respect to all prior advances evidencing
that the Work for which a prior advance has been made has been fully paid; |
|
|
(D) |
|
lien waivers with respect to all prior advances evidencing that
such Work has been paid for with such prior advances and has been completed
lien free; |
|
|
(E) |
|
[Intentionally omitted]; and |
|
|
(F) |
|
If reasonably required by Administrative Agent, such other
evidence as may be reasonably necessary to verify the current accuracy of the
certification and any inspection report, the costs of which shall be paid by
Borrower; |
(iv)
with respect to any disbursement which, when added to all prior disbursements,
equals more than ninety-five percent (95%) of the original Reserve Funds allowed to such
space the following additional items shall be required:
|
(A) |
|
a current estoppel certificate executed by the tenant of the
space which shall include, without limitation, their acknowledgment that: |
(1) the Lease is in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor
the tenant is in default thereunder;
(2) all Work required under the Lease have been satisfactorily
completed and all tenant allowances required to be paid under the
Lease have been paid in full and the tenant claims no offset rights
or rent credits with respect to such Work;
84
(3) all conditions to the tenant’s occupancy of the space and the
payment of rent have been satisfied;
(4) the tenant is in actual occupancy of and conducting business in
the space; and
(5) the tenant is paying unabated rent without any offset rights or
rent credits;
|
(B) |
|
if reasonably required by Administrative Agent, such other
evidence as may be necessary to verify the current accuracy of the estoppel
certificate, the costs of which shall be paid by Borrower; and |
|
|
(C) |
|
Borrower shall complete the lien-free performance or
installation of the Work in a workmanlike manner and in accordance with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations. |
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent
shall disburse to Borrower the portion of the Leasing Reserve Funds allocable to a given
Individual Property ten (10) Business Days following delivery to Administrative Agent of evidence
of the occurrence of the Downgrade Cure with respect to such Individual Property, whereupon no
further Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposits shall be required hereunder (unless a Downgrade Trigger
shall thereafter occur).
Section 8.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 8.5 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 8.6 Tax and Insurance Funds. (a) In addition to the initial deposits, if any, with respect to
Taxes and Insurance Premiums made by Borrower to Lender on the Closing Date to be held in Eligible
Accounts by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and hereinafter respectively referred
to as the “Tax Account” and the “Insurance Account”, Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to
Administrative Agent on each Monthly Payment Date (i) except as provided in Section 8.6(b) below
one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by
Administrative Agent to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (the “Monthly Tax
Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in the Tax Account, and (ii) except as
provided in Section 8.6(c) below, one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the
Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration
thereof (the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in the
Insurance Account (amounts held in the Tax Account and the Insurance Account are collectively
herein referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Funds”). In the event Administrative Agent shall
elect as provided above, after the Closing Date, to collect payments in escrow for Insurance
Premiums, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an initial
deposit to be determined by Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, to increase the amounts
in the Insurance Account to an amount which, together with anticipated monthly escrow payments,
shall be sufficient to pay all Insurance Premiums as they become due. Borrower agrees to promptly
notify Administrative Agent of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment
of any Taxes and
85
Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Administrative Agent or
its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Provided
there are sufficient amounts in the Tax Account and Insurance Account, respectively, and no Event
of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums prior to the
delinquency thereof on behalf of Borrower by applying the Tax and Insurance Funds to the payment of
such Taxes and Insurance Premiums. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Funds shall exceed the
amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 7.1 hereof,
Administrative Agent shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess
against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Funds. If the Tax and Insurance Funds
are not sufficient to pay the amounts set forth above, Borrower shall promptly pay to
Administrative Agent, upon demand, an amount which Administrative Agent shall reasonably estimate
as sufficient to make up the deficiency.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
Borrower shall not be required to make Monthly Tax Deposits into the Tax Account for Taxes provided
(i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing and (ii) Borrower delivers to Administrative
Agent satisfactory evidence of payment of Taxes in accordance with the terms of Section 4.5(a)
hereof. Borrower shall immediately make all deposits for Taxes as required by this Section 8.6
within three (3) Business Days of receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of Borrower’s failure
to comply with (i) or (ii) above.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
Borrower shall not be required to make Monthly Insurance Deposits into the Insurance Account
provided (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the liability and
casualty policies maintained by Borrower covering the Property are part of a blanket or umbrella
policy approved by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, including, without
limitation, approval of the schedule of locations and values and (iii) Borrower provides
Administrative Agent evidence of renewal of such policy and paid receipts for the payment of the
Insurance Premiums in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(b) hereof. Borrower shall
immediately commence making all Monthly Insurance Deposits into the Insurance Account, as required
by this Section 8.6, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of notice from Administrative Agent
of Borrower’s failure to comply with items (i), (ii), or (iii) above.
Section 8.7 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 8.8 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 8.9 The Accounts Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a first-priority
perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and any and all sums now or hereafter
deposited in the Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or
applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute
additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 8.9 are intended to give Lenders
and/or Administrative Agent “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral within the
meaning of the UCC. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the
86
Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Administrative Agent and
Lenders, their authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall
have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except with the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent or as otherwise provided herein. The funds on deposit in the Accounts shall
not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent.
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent,
further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited
therein or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1
Financing Statements, except those naming Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as the
secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, shall have the right to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in
connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral with respect thereto in the form
required to properly perfect Lenders’ security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time
and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary
or desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect
any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation,
any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Lenders, to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Account or Account Collateral.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from
Administrative Agent, (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts, (ii)
Administrative Agent may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted Investments
pursuant to the applicable terms hereof, if any, to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other
Permitted Investments as Administrative Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or
protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other
Loan Documents or to enable Administrative Agent and Lenders to exercise and enforce their rights
and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Account or any Account
Collateral, and (iii) Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have all rights and remedies with
respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account Collateral as described
in this Agreement and in the Security Instrument, in addition to all of the rights and remedies
available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or in the Security Instrument, may apply the amounts of such Accounts
in such order, priority and proportions as set forth in Section 10.2(g) herein or as Lenders shall
otherwise determine, in their sole discretion.
(d) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the
obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any
event or circumstance whatsoever.

(e) Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and hold Administrative
Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands,
liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and
reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts,
the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were
established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of Administrative Agent, such Lender, or their applicable agents or employees.
Borrower shall assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, all rights and claims
Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be
paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Administrative Agent and Lenders may
not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f) Borrower and Administrative Agent shall maintain each applicable Account as an Eligible
Account, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent. In the event
that Administrative Agent no longer satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower
shall cooperate with Administrative Agent in transferring the applicable Accounts to an
institution that satisfies such criteria. Borrower hereby grants Administrative Agent power of
attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with respect to any such transfers
and the establishment of accounts with a successor institution.
(g) Interest accrued on any Account other than an Interest Bearing Account shall not be
required to be remitted either to Borrower or to any Account and may instead be retained by
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lender. Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Accounts
shall be invested in Permitted Investments as provided for in Section 8.9(h) hereof. Interest
accrued, if any, on sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be remitted to and
become part of the applicable Account. All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable
Account shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein
applicable to such Account; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, at its election,
retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default.
(h) Sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall, upon Borrower’s written request,
be invested in Permitted Investments provided (i) such investments are then customarily offered by
Administrative Agent for accounts which are of the same size, category and type as the Interest
Bearing Accounts and which are maintained in connection with loans of the same size, category and
type as the Loan (IN THIS REGARD, BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT,
(A) ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT CUSTOMARILY OFFERS, AS AN INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY FOR SUCH ACCOUNTS, ONLY
THE RIGHT TO RECEIVE INTEREST ON SUMS ON DEPOSIT IN SUCH ACCOUNTS AT THE BANKRATE MONITOR NATIONAL
INDEX OF MONEY MARKET ACCOUNTS DEPOSIT YIELD, AS THE SAME MAY VARY FROM TIME TO TIME, AND (B)
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT DOES NOT EXPECT TO CUSTOMARILY OFFER ANY OTHER INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR
SUCH ACCOUNTS), (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, State and local rules,
regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the
date on which sums in the Interest Bearing Accounts
88
are required to be disbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iv) no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing. All income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments
shall be property of Borrower and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
Administrative Agent to hold any income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments as
part of the applicable Interest Bearing Account. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any
federal, State or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted
Investments. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall
be permitted. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any loss sustained
on the investment of any funds in the Interest Bearing Accounts.
(i) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain,
liable to Administrative Agent and Lenders for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection
with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any
monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Administrative Agent in connection with
the administration of the Accounts and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to
Administrative Agent and Lenders as reasonably needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights
and remedies of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 9.
CASH MANAGEMENT
Section 9.1 Establishment of Accounts.
(a) Borrower shall, simultaneously herewith, establish an Eligible Account (the “Restricted
Account”) pursuant to the Restricted Account Agreement in the name of the Borrower for the sole
and exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders), together with their
successors and assigns, as secured party, into which Borrower shall deposit, or cause to be
deposited, all revenue generated by the Property. Pursuant to the Restricted Account Agreement,
funds on deposit in the Restricted Account shall be transferred on each Business Day to the Cash
Management Account.
(b) Simultaneously herewith, Borrower shall establish an Eligible Account (the “Cash
Management Account”) with Administrative Agent in the name of the Borrower for the sole and
exclusive benefit of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders), together with their
successors and assigns, as secured party. Borrower shall also establish with Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall deposit, or cause
to be deposited, the amounts required for the payment of Debt Service under the Loan (the “Debt
Service Account”). Borrower shall also establish with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, the
Monthly Swap Payment, if any, in an amount as determined by the Counterparty and provided to
Administrative Agent in writing (the “Swap Payment Account”).
89
Section 9.2 Deposits into Restricted Account; Maintenance of Restricted Account.
(a) Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that, so long as the Debt remains
outstanding, (i) Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, immediately deposit all revenue
derived from the Property and received by Borrower or Manager, as the case may be, into the
Restricted Account; (ii) Borrower shall instruct Manager to immediately deposit all revenue
derived from the Property collected by Manager, if any, pursuant to the Management Agreement (or
otherwise) into the Restricted Account; (iii) (A) on the Closing Date, Borrower shall send a
notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, to all Tenants now
occupying space at the Property directing them to pay all rent and other sums due under the Lease
to which they are a party into the Restricted Account (such notice, the “Tenant Direction
Notice”), (B) simultaneously with the execution of any Lease entered into on or after the date
hereof in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall furnish each
Tenant under each such Lease the Tenant Direction Notice and (C) Borrower shall continue to send
the aforesaid Tenant Direction Notices until each addressee thereof complies with the terms
thereof; (iv) there shall be no other accounts maintained by Borrower, Manager or any other Person
affiliated with Borrower or Manager into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the
Property are directly deposited; and (v) neither Borrower, Manager nor any other Person affiliated
with Borrower or Manager shall open any other such account with respect to the direct deposit of
income in connection with the Property. Until deposited into the Restricted Account, any Rents
and other revenues from the Property held by Borrower shall be deemed to be collateral and shall
be held in trust by it for the benefit, and as the property, of Administrative Agent (for the
benefit of Lenders) pursuant to the Security Instrument and shall not be commingled with any other
funds or property of Borrower. Borrower warrants and covenants that it shall not rescind,
withdraw or change any notices or instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to this Section
9.2 without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.
(b) Borrower shall maintain the Restricted Account for the term of the Loan, which Restricted
Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of
Lenders) (subject to the terms hereof and of the Restricted Account Agreement). The Restricted
Account shall have a title evidencing the foregoing in a manner reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby grants to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders)
a first-priority security interest in the Restricted Account and all deposits at any time
contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions reasonably necessary to
maintain in favor of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) a perfected first priority
security interest in the Restricted Account, including, without limitation, authorizing the filing
of UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof to perfect Administrative Agent’s (for the
benefit of Lenders) security interest in the same. All reasonable costs and expenses for
establishing and maintaining the Restricted Account (or any successor thereto) shall be paid by
Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Restricted Account shall be deemed
additional security for the Debt. Borrower shall not alter or modify either the Restricted
Account or the Restricted Account Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Restricted Account
or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy
to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of Lenders, as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. The Restricted
Account (i) shall be an Eligible
90
Account and (ii) shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Bank. Upon
(A) Bank ceasing to be an Eligible Institution, (B) the Restricted Account ceasing to be an
Eligible Account, (C) any resignation by Bank or termination of the Restricted Account Agreement
by Bank or Administrative Agent and/or (D) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of Administrative Agent’s request, (1) agree to terminate
the existing Restricted Account Agreement, (2) appoint a new Bank (which such Bank shall (I) be an
Eligible Institution, (II) other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected
by Borrower and approved by Administrative Agent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned and (III) during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by
Administrative Agent), (3) cause such Bank to open a new Restricted Account (which such account
shall be an Eligible Account) and enter into a new Restricted Account Agreement with
Administrative Agent on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous Restricted
Account Agreement and (4) send new Tenant Direction Notices and the other notices required
pursuant to the terms hereof relating to such new Restricted Account Agreement and Restricted
Account. Borrower constitutes and appoints Administrative Agent its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the foregoing in the
name of Borrower in the event Borrower fails to do the same after prior notice from Administrative
Agent. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot
be revoked.
Section 9.3 Disbursements from the Cash Management Account. On each Monthly Payment Date, provided no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent, shall allocate all funds, if
any, on deposit in the Cash Management Account and disburse such funds in the following amounts and
order of priority:
(a) First, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Tax Deposit, if any, due for the then
applicable Monthly Payment Date, if any, shall be deposited in the Tax Account;
(b) Second, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Insurance Deposit, if any, due for the then
applicable Monthly Payment Date, if any, shall be deposited in the Insurance Account;
(c) Third, funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate and late payment
charges, if any, shall be deposited into the Debt Service Account;
(d) Fourth, funds sufficient to pay the Debt Service due on the then applicable Monthly
Payment Date shall be deposited in the Debt Service Account;
(e) Fifth, funds sufficient to pay the Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposit, if any, for the then
applicable Monthly Payment Date, if any, shall be deposited in the Leasing Reserve Account;
(f) Sixth, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Swap Payment, if any, due on the applicable
Monthly Payment Date shall be deposited in the Swap Payment Account; and
(g) Seventh, provided no Event of Default exists, all amounts remaining in the Cash
Management Account after deposits for items (a) through (f) above shall be disbursed to Borrower,
with two (2) Business Days of the Monthly Payment Date, pursuant to written instructions provided
by Borrower to Administrative Agent from time to time.
91
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Section 8.9(c) shall apply with respect to disbursements from
the Cash Management Account.
Section 9.4 Withdrawals from the Debt Service Account. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an
Event of Default, funds on deposit in the Debt Service Account, if any, shall be used to pay Debt
Service when due, together with any late payment charges or interest accruing at the Default Rate.
Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, funds on deposit in the Swap
Payment Account, if any, shall be used to pay the Monthly Swap Payment if and when due pursuant to
the written direction of Borrower.
Section 9.5 Payments Received Under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts
due for the Tax Account, the Insurance Account and the Leasing Reserve Account shall (provided
Administrative Agent is not prohibited from withdrawing or applying any funds in the applicable
Accounts by operation of law or otherwise) be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are
on deposit in the Restricted Account (provided that the Bank under the Restricted Account Agreement
is Administrative Agent) or the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates
each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders.
ARTICLE 10.

Section 10.2 Remedies.
(a) Subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with
respect to Borrower only) and at any time thereafter Administrative Agent may, and shall at the
direction of Requisite Lenders (which must include any Lender then acting as Administrative
Agent), in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it and Lenders pursuant to this
Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity,
take such action, without notice or demand, that Administrative Agent or Lenders (if
Administrative Agent is so directed by Requisite Lenders (which must include any Lender then
acting as Administrative Agent)) deem advisable to protect and enforce Administrative Agent’s and
Lenders’ rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the
Debt (other than the Interest Rate Protection Breakage Costs) to be immediately due and payable,
and Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may enforce or avail itself of any or all
rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other
Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or
remedies available at law or in equity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless
and until Administrative Agent shall have received directions from Requisite Lenders as set forth
above, Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect
to any Default or Event of Default as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion,
subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f)
above (with respect to Borrower only), the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents (other than the Interest
Rate Protection Breakage Costs) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable,
without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand,
95
anything contained herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan
Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or
more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Administrative Agent and
Lenders against Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan
Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be
exercised by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, and in accordance with Subsection (a)
above, 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 Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders and in accordance
with Subsection (a) above, shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, the
Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such
actions taken by Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, and in accordance with Subsection (a)
above, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Lenders, has determined, or as Administrative Agent has otherwise been directed by
Requisite Lenders (which must include any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent), in their
sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, without impairing or otherwise
affecting the other rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders permitted by
Applicable Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note
or the other Loan Documents, subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof. 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.
(c) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other
Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Administrative Agent to resort to any Individual
Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual
Property, and Administrative Agent may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any part
thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Administrative Agent
shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any
manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined
by Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent may (or
shall at the direction of Requisite Lenders (which must include the consent of any Lender then
acting as Administrative Agent)) foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such
delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Administrative Agent elects to (or is directed by
Requisite Lenders (which must include the consent of any Lender then acting as Administrative
Agent) to) accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan,
Administrative Agent may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of
the principal balance of the Loan as Administrative Agent
96
may (or may be directed to pursuant to the terms hereof) accelerate and such other sums
secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Administrative Agent may elect (or may be
directed to elect pursuant to the terms hereof). Notwithstanding one or more partial
foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of
sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered. Any and all sums received
by Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders under the Loan Documents following an Event of
Default shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as set forth in Subsection (g)
herein or as otherwise determined by Lenders, in their sole discretion.
(d) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative
Agent upon approval from each of the Lenders, shall have the right from time to time to sever the
Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments and other
security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lenders shall determine
in their sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its and Lenders’ rights and
remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders, from time to time, promptly after the request of Administrative Agent, a
severance agreement and such other documents as Administrative Agent shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints
Administrative Agent 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,
Administrative Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5)
days after notice has been given to Borrower by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s
intent to exercise its rights under such power. 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 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.
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an
Event of Default may be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or
principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order,
priority and proportions as set forth in Subsection (g) herein or as Lenders shall otherwise
determine in their sole discretion.
(f) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative
Agent 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 Administrative Agent may deem necessary. Subject to the rights of Tenants under
the Leases, Administrative Agent is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or
appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect the Lenders’ interest in the
Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees
to the extent permitted by
97
Applicable Law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the
Debt and shall be due and payable to Administrative Agent for itself or for the account of any
Lender, as applicable, upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent
and/or any Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing
in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for
the period after such cost or expense was incurred through and including the date of payment to
Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as applicable. All
such costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and/or any 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 Administrative Agent and Lenders
under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative
Agent therefor.
(g) If an Event of Default exists and maturity of the Debt has been accelerated, all payments
received by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of
or interest on the Debt or any other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder or thereunder,
shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(i) First, to Administrative Agent in an amount equal to any Protective Advances that
have not been reimbursed to Administrative Agent, any accrued and unpaid Administrative
Agent Fees and any other amounts due to Administrative Agent from Borrower pursuant to the
terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, those costs and
expenses due from Borrower pursuant to Sections 17.7 and 17.8 hereof;
(ii) Second, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) in respect of Fees and
expenses due from Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents;
(iii) Third, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) for payments of interest
(including, but not limited to, any interest accrued at the Default Rate) on each Individual

in an amount equal to the Counterparty’s Pro-Rata Portion and (B) to Lenders (other than any
Defaulting Lender) for payments of principal on each Individual Loan Commitment in an amount
equal to the Lender’s Pro-Rata Portion to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders
in accordance with their Pro Rata Share;

the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in such order as Lenders may determine in their sole
discretion;

ARTICLE 11.
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS
Section 11.1 Appointment and Authorization.
Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not
in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to
enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that,
except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with
the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders
of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall
be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on
the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”,
“Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent
is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under
agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market
custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly
upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements,
certificates, notices and other documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms
hereof that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. The
Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where
appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished
to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower,
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly
provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement of the Loan
Documents or collection of the Debt, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite
Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement),
and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Debt;
99
provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative
Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise or may
refrain from exercising any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon
the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders (which must include
any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise
and unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received directions from Requisite Lenders
(which must include any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent), Administrative Agent may take
such action, or refrain from taking such action, permitted under the Loan Documents with respect to
any Default or Event of Default as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.
Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or
refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with
the instructions of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, or where applicable, all
the Lenders.
Section 11.2 Xxxxx Fargo as Lender.
Xxxxx Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any
other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly
indicated, include Xxxxx Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Xxxxx Fargo and its
affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend
money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage
in any kind of business with the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as
if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further,
the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the
Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for
the same to the other Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Xxxxx
Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, and
other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor
of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them.
Section 11.3 Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.
(a) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of
any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default,
to take any action with respect to the Property or Loan Documents which may be necessary to
perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Property granted pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents.
(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its
discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon the Property
(i) upon indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Debt; (ii) as expressly permitted
by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and
100
(iii) if otherwise approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such
greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide).
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the
Administrative Agent’s authority to release the Property pursuant to this Section.
(c) Upon any sale of the Property which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to)
execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Property
that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s
opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any
consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty. In the event of
any sale or transfer of the Property, or any foreclosure with respect to the Property, the
Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the
Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d) The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or
to any other Person to assure that the Property exists or is owned by the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent
herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected,
protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue
exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the
rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or
in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Property, or
any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may
deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or
liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
(e) The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance
with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances
with respect to each Individual Property up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay Taxes
imposed upon such Individual Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay Insurance Premiums related to
such Individual Property; and (iii) $500,000.00. Protective Advances in excess of said sum for any
Individual Property shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to
pay on demand all Protective Advances.
Section 11.4 Post-Foreclosure Plans. If all or any portion of the Property is acquired by the
Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu
of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Debt, the title to such
Property, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a
nominee or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all
Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for the Property (a
“Post-Foreclosure Plan”), and provide a copy of such Post Foreclosure Plan to each Lender. The
Post-Foreclosure Plan shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders
101
(which must include the approval of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent). A
Lender’s failure to raise an objection to a proposed Post-Foreclosure Plan within ten (10) Business
Days of delivery by Administrative Agent to Lender of such Post-Foreclosure Plan shall be deemed to
constitute Lender’s approval of such Post-Foreclosure Plan. In accordance with the approved
Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer,
complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Property acquired, and shall administer all
transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a property manager, leasing
agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of the Property,
and the collecting of Rents and other sums from the Property and paying the expenses of such
Property. Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Property, which are not
specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto,
shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (which must include the consent of any
Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan.
Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its Pro Rata Share of all
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved
Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance,
leasing and sale of the Property. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to
be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for the Property,
and each Lender shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days from receipt of such
statement) contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for the Property, and such other
expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary
pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net
operating income from the Property, the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved
Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders. All such
distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.
The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to the Property is obtained by the Administrative
Agent or its nominee, the Property will not be held as a permanent investment but will be
liquidated as soon as practicable. The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell the Property,
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall
determine (which must include the consent of any Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) to be
most advantageous to the Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection
with the disposition of the Property in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall
name the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such
case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such
purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata
Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this
Article 11 insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.
Section 11.5 Approvals of Lenders. All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender
requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the
form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or
issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall
advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or
shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably
requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written
materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the
102
Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d)
shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect
thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically
objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable
written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such
lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan
Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively
approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
Section 11.6 Notice of Defaults.
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or
the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or
Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding
any Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event
of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”.
Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
Section 11.7 Administrative Agent’s Reliance. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers,
agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or
therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult
with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party),
independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such
counsel, accountants or experts. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors,
officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or
any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement,
warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty
to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or
inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be
responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto or any Property covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any
Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders in any such Property; (d) shall have
any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties
contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or
statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
103
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or
other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given
by the proper party or parties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the
Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible
for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 11.8 Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the
Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the
obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata
Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at
any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity
as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan
Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided,
however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent
resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided,
however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders
(or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross
negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly
upon demand for its Pro Rata Share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether
through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the
rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by
the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect the Debt, any
“lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and
any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any
Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the
Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the
Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by
the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually
and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so
entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loan
and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of
this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable
Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable
Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with
each Lender making any such payment.
104
Section 11.9 Lender Credit Decision, Etc. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel,
attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and
that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Affiliate of Borrower and/or any Loan Party, shall be deemed
to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent,
any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the
other Loan Parties, and Affiliates of Borrower and/or any Loan Party, and inquiries of such
Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan
Parties, and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be
delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information
as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel
to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents,
and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.
The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or
observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document
referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other
investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Affiliate of Borrower and/or any Loan
Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be
furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with
any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other
condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof
which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the
Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to
such Lender.
Section 11.10 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as
Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a
successor Administrative Agent, which, provided no Event of Default is continuing, such successor
Administrative Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If no successor Administrative
Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall
have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s
giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the
Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be
willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor
Administrative Agent shall thereupon
105
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current
Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 11 shall continue to inure to its benefit as
to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may
assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving the
Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
Section 11.11 Titled Agents. Each of the Syndication Agent and Documentation Agent (each a “Titled Agent”)
in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including,
without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of the Loan, nor any duties as an
agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and
imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to Administrative Agent, any
Lender, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the
Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the
Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 11.12 Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in
writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to all of the Lenders required hereinabove
to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement
or any of the other Loan Documents. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not
expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No
course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any
Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of
Default is cured by Borrower to Administrative Agent’s satisfaction, exercised by Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion (it being specifically understood that after an Event of Default,
Administrative Agent is not obligated to accept such cure) or waived in writing in accordance with
the terms of this Section. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan
Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances, unless such notice or demand is otherwise
specifically required herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Section 11.13 Defaulting Lenders. If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse
to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a
party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation or, if no time period is
specified, if such failure or refusal continues for a period of two (2) Business Days after notice
from the Administrative Agent, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available
to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting
Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to
direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the
calculation of Requisite Lenders or
106
unanimous Lender consent, as applicable, shall be suspended during the pendency of such
failure or refusal. If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to the Administrative
Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving
effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or
otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting
Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until
the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to
apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise
payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to
bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Administrative
Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment shall not be paid to such
Defaulting Lender and shall be held by the Administrative Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender
upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default. Furthermore, a Defaulting Lender shall
indemnify and hold harmless Borrower, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders from any
claim, loss, or costs incurred by Borrower, Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders as a
result of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement,
including, without limitation, any and all additional losses, damages, costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Borrower, Administrative Agent and any
Lender as a result of and/or in connection with (i) any enforcement action brought by
Administrative Agent against a Defaulting Lender and (ii) any action brought against Administrative
Agent and/or Lenders. The indemnification provided above shall survive any termination of this
Agreement.
Section 11.14 Participations. (a) Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one
or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the
portion of the Debt owing to such Lender, at no expense to Borrower. Except as otherwise expressly
stated herein, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a
Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder,
and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement
pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender
shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder
including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it
will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Individual
Loan Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or portions
thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An
assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Sections 11.15 below shall be given effect
for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance
with this Section 11.14. Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 11.14, the Borrower agrees that
each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Subsections 2.5(c)(v), (vi), (vii), and
(viii) to the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to Section 11.15. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall
be entitled to the benefits of
107
Section 17.6 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to
Section 2.12 as though it were a Lender.
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Subsection
2.5(c)(v), (vi), (vii), or (viii) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive
with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a
Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.5(c)(v)
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant
agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 2.5(c)(ix) and (xi) as though it
were a Lender.
Section 11.15 Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent at any
time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights
and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) any partial assignment

obligations hereunder.

contrary, if any consent, approval or determination given by Requisite Lenders must include the

Other Charges (other than amounts paid to Administrative Agent for Taxes or Other Charges in

other deposits collected with respect to the Property to Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Lenders, upon a foreclosure of the Property (or any portion thereof) or action in lieu

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;

Section 14.2 Funds Transfer Disbursements.
(a) Generally. The Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the
proceeds of the Loan made by Lenders and any Reserve Funds being disbursed to Borrower pursuant to
Article 8 hereof as requested by an authorized representative of Borrower to any of
116
the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. Borrower agrees to be
bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower or (ii) made in
Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with
these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Borrower further agrees
and acknowledges that Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or
identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer
even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than
named by Borrower. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any
actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. If Administrative Agent takes any
actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or
takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees
that no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions Administrative Agent will
not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the
future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures
authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between Administrative Agent
and Borrower. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any
funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days
after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such transfer.
(b) Funds Transfer. Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the
funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. Administrative Agent may
delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of
this authorization, (ii) require use of a bank prohibited by any Governmental Authority, (iii)
cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk
control program or guideline, or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to
violate any Applicable Law or regulation.
(c) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
be liable to Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others,
including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which
Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall
be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused
by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government,
labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or
punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or
(y) Administrative Agent, such Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of
these damages in any situation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any
representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth herein.
Section 14.3 Electronic Delivery of Certain Information. If requested by Administrative Agent,
documents required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered,
in addition to the method set forth in Section 14.1 above, by electronic communication and
delivery, including the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which Administrative Agent and
each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party
117
website such as xxx.Xxxxx.xxx <xxxx://xxx.Xxxxx.xxx> or a website sponsored or hosted by
Administrative Agent), provided that no Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it cannot or
does not want to receive electronic communications. Administrative Agent may, in its discretion,
agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to
procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices
delivered electronically by Borrower may be posted by Administrative Agent on a commercial website
and Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of said posting and shall provide a link thereto.
It being understood that the posting of said documents shall constitute notice and delivery of
such documents to Lenders by Administrative Agent as required hereunder and delivery shall be
deemed properly given pursuant to Section 14.1 as of the date of said posting by Administrative
Agent. Notwithstanding anything contained herein but subject to the terms and provisions of
Section 4.12(d) hereof, in every instance Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of any
Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent and shall deliver paper copies of all documents to
Administrative Agent until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by
Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders). Except for the Officer’s Certificate, Administrative
Agent shall have no obligation to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically
and, in any event, shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by the Borrower with any such
request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of
paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents.
Section 14.4 Possession of Documents. Each Lender shall maintain possession of its own Note.
Administrative Agent shall hold all other Loan Documents and related documents in its possession
and maintain separate records and accounts with respect to the Loan, reflecting the interests of
Lenders in the Loan, and shall permit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) and their
representatives access at all reasonable times during normal business hours to inspect such Loan
Documents, related documents, records and accounts.

Section 15.4 Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.
(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which
deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a
tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Administrative Agent’s, for the benefit of
Lenders interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon,
if any. If Administrative Agent is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by
Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Administrative Agent or Lenders or unenforceable or
provide the basis for a defense of usury then Administrative Agent shall have the option by
written notice of not less than ninety (90) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of
the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part
thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the
Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument
or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by Applicable Law,
Administrative Agent shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days,
to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(c) If at any time the United States of America, any state thereof or any subdivision of any
such state shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Security
Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same,
Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
Section 15.5 Conversion to Registered Form. At the request of Administrative Agent on behalf
of any Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the
“Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent which shall maintain, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the
registration and transfer of the applicable Note in a manner that shall cause the applicable Note
to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code. The
option to convert the applicable Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any
agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable
approval of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender. Borrower may revoke the
appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the
appointment of a replacement Registrar. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from
Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the applicable Note and any other
Loan Documents.
ARTICLE 16.
WAIVERS
Section 16.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. Subject to the terms of Article 13 hereof, the
rights, powers and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Administrative Agent and
Lenders may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the
120
Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued
singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent and
Lenders may determine in their 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.
Section 16.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension,
discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the
Note and the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no
notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in
the same, similar or other circumstances (unless such notice or demand is otherwise specifically
required herein or under any of the other Loan Documents).
Section 16.3 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of
Administrative Agent or any Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition,
covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement,
the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument given as
security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial
exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the
due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other
Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any
right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the
Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to
effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 16.4 Waiver of Trial by Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER,
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDERS, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR
COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN,
THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR BORROWER.
Section 16.5 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature
whatsoever from Administrative Agent or Lenders except (a) with respect to matters for
121
which this Agreement specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by
Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower and (b) with respect to matters for which
Administrative Agent or any Lender are required by Applicable Law to give notice, and Borrower
hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Administrative Agent or any Lender
with respect to any matter for which (i) this Agreement does not specifically and expressly provide
for the giving of notice by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower and (ii) Administrative
Agent or any Lender are not required under Applicable Law to give notice.
Section 16.6 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that
Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably
delayed acting in any case where by Applicable Law or under this Agreement, the Security
Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, such Lender, Administrative Agent or such agent,
as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that
Administrative Agent, Lenders and their agents shall not be liable for any monetary damages, and
Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or
declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether
Administrative Agent or any Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking
declaratory judgment. Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that, in such event, it shall
cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
Section 16.7 Marshalling and Other Matters. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted
by Applicable Law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and
redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale
under the Security Instrument of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.
Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any
order or decree of foreclosure of the Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of
each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of
the Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.
Section 16.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law,
Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law,
the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of
its obligations hereunder, under the Note, Security Instrument or other Loan Documents.
Section 16.9 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a
counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding
brought against it by Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their agents.
Section 16.10 Sole Discretion of Administrative Agent and Lenders. Wherever pursuant to this
Agreement (a) Administrative Agent and/or any Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or
disapprove, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Administrative Agent and/or any
Lender, or (c) any other decision or determination is to be made by Administrative Agent and/or any
Lender, the decision to approve or disapprove all decisions that
122
arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, and all other decisions and
determinations made by Administrative Agent and/or any Lender, shall be in the sole discretion of
Administrative Agent and/or such Lender, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically
provided herein.

enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All
conditions to the obligations of Lenders to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and
exclusively for the benefit of Lenders and no other Person (other than Administrative Agent) shall
have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be
entitled to assume that Lenders 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 (other than Administrative Agent), any or all of which may be
freely waived in whole or in part by Lenders if, in Lenders’ sole discretion, Lenders deem it
advisable or desirable to do so.
(c) The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners
of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property,

Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s
certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey,
appraisal, or insurance policy, neither Administrative Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed to have
warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and
such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect
thereto by Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the
Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent and
127
Lenders are expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations
and warranties set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the
Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Administrative Agent or any
Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Administrative Agent and Lenders prior to the
date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lenders in
making the Loan; and that Lenders would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement,
the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties
and representations as set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement.
(g) Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to
Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course
of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary
duty owing by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, Borrower, or any other Loan Party.
Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review
or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or
operations.

with respect thereto.

provisions of this Agreement and the Security Instrument, the Note or 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 this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and

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 Administrative Agent or any Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of
Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall not be subject to any
limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to them under this
Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents or any other agreements
or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by Administrative Agent, Lenders or

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 Administrative Agent’s and
any Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative
Agent and Lenders engage 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.

superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan
Documents.
Section 17.15 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one person, the obligations and liabilities of
each such person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders and their respective successors
and assigns forever.
129
Section 17.16 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate
originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. The failure of any party
hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other
signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 17.17
Delay Outside Lender’s Control. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable in any
way to Borrower or any third party for Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to perform
or delay in performing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent
or any Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such
Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Documents) if such failure to perform
or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction,
or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion,
insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in
the sole judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God
or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s control.
Section 17.18 Actions. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent or any Lender, in exercising the rights,
duties or liabilities of Administrative Agent, Lenders or Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, may commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to
affect the Property, the Improvements, this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents and Borrower
shall promptly reimburse Administrative Agent or such Lender upon demand for all reasonable
expenses so incurred or paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.
Section 17.19 Form of Documents. The form and substance of all documents, instruments, and forms of
evidence to be delivered to Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement and any of the
other Loan Documents shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s approval and shall not be modified,
superseded or terminated in any respect without Administrative Agent’s prior written approval.
Section 17.20 Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ Agents. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may
designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s
agents, employees or independent contractors. Provided Borrower would have been responsible for
the costs if such acts of such agent or independent contractor were to be performed by
Administrative Agent or an agent of Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents, or Borrower is otherwise obligated to pay such costs pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents, Borrower shall pay the reasonable costs of such agent or independent contractor either
directly to such Person or to Administrative Agent in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable.
130
Section 17.21 Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lenders have made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of
their collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties
taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual
Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, the Security Instruments) are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted
with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of Loan Documents shall constitute an
Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall
constitute an Event of Default under each Security Instrument; (iii) each Security Instrument
shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the
Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be
deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto.
(b) 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 Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of
alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not
to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse
order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other
matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent, on behalf of
Lenders, under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt
without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Administrative Agent, on
behalf of Lenders, to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its
successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Security
Instruments, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate
sale of the Properties or require Lenders to exhaust their remedies against any Individual
Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual
Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does
hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Administrative Agent, pursuant to the
terms hereof, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the
Properties.
Section 17.22 Contribution.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to
pay the Debt and perform its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(collectively, the “Obligations”) and in consideration therefor each Borrower desires to enter
into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to
allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make
contributions among each of the Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual
Borrower hereunder to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders (such payment being
referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of
recourse by Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Property of a Borrower and application
of proceeds of such Property in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the
Loan Documents).
131
(b) Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such
total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the
Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable
provisions of any state law.
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event
that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding
Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all
other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in
discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of
determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its affiliates from
extensions of credit made by Lenders to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers
hereunder and under the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or
mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lenders.
(e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of
(i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations,
multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five
percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the
total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due
in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a
Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other
Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to
any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement
Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers
in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other
Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event
that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant
to this Section above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of
such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in
accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall
constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of
this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to
Administrative Agent and Lenders, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in
cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any
Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents.
132
(i) To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Borrower waives:
(i) any right to require Administrative Agent and Lenders to proceed against any other
Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by
Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders at any time or to pursue any other remedy in
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s power before proceeding against Borrower;
(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other
Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of
the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment
of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners
or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of
any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of
any other Borrower;
(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more
burdensome than that of a principal;
(v) any defense based upon any failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender to obtain
collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Administrative Agent or any Lender to perfect
a lien on any collateral;
(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind, other than notices that are
required to be given to such Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to give
notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other
person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale
or disposition of any collateral;
(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to
comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any
collateral, including any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to conduct a
commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the
Bankruptcy Code;
(x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Administrative
Agent or any Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy
proceeding;
133
(xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under
Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of
Administrative Agent and/or Lenders for any reason;
(xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or
bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing
under any of the Loan Documents;
(xiv) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation
of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any
payment from any other Borrower or any such party;
(xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative
Agent and Lenders even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure
with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents,
has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower;
and
(xvi) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured
by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions
of the Loan Documents): (1) Administrative Agent may collect from Borrower without first
foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, and
(2) if Administrative Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other
Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the
sale price and (II) Administrative Agent may collect from Borrower even if any other
Borrower, having its the real property collateral foreclosed upon, has destroyed any right
Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and
irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is
secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein,
any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any
other Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any
obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (1) any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (2) any right
to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders against any
other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or
right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
(j) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for
the benefit of Administrative Agent and each Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by
reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be
effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any
Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each
134
Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each
Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers
in connection herewith or otherwise)).
