As to the nonpayment of interest, there shall be a ten (10) day grace period without any requirement of notice from Agent, except that as to a required principal reduction to comply with the Loan To Value Ratio Covenant in Section 9.18 or the Debt Service Coverage Ratio Covenant in Section 9.19, there shall be no grace period except as stated therein.
11.2.3 Other Monetary Defaults. All other monetary defaults shall have a ten (10) day grace period following notice from Agent, or, if shorter, a grace period without notice until five (5) Business Days before the last day on which payment is required to be made in order to avoid: (i) the cancellation or lapse of required insurance, or (ii) a tax sale or the imposition of late charges or penalties in respect of taxes or other municipal charges.
11.2.4 Nonmonetary Defaults Capable of Cure. As to nonmonetary defaults which are reasonably capable of being cured or remedied, unless there is a specific shorter or longer grace period provided for in this Loan Agreement or in another Loan
Document, there shall be a thirty (30) day grace period following notice from Agent or, if such default would reasonably require more than thirty (30) days to cure or remedy, such longer period of time not to exceed a total of one hundred twenty (120) days from Agent’s notice as may be reasonably required so long as Borrower shall commence reasonable actions to remedy or cure the default within thirty (30) days following such notice and shall diligently prosecute such curative action to completion within such one hundred twenty (120) day period. However, where there is an emergency situation in which there is danger to person or property such curative action shall be commenced as promptly as possible. As to breaches of warranties and representations (other than those related to financial information or construction documents) there shall be a thirty (30) day grace period following notice from Agent.
11.3 Certain Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur:
11.3.1 Withhold Loan Advance. The Lenders shall not have any obligation to make any further Loans hereunder (and for the purpose of withholding Loans the Lenders may treat as an Event of Default an event which has occurred without regard to notice or grace periods, if any, but if there is in fact a cure within an applicable grace period, Lenders shall not thereafter withhold the Loan on account thereof);
11.3.2 Accelerate Debt. Agent may, and upon the direction of the Majority Lenders shall, declare the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage immediately due and payable (provided that in the case of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy filed by Borrower or (after the expiration of the grace period if any set forth in Section 11.1.3 above) an involuntary petition in bankruptcy filed against Borrower, such acceleration shall be automatic); and
11.3.3 Pursue Remedies. May pursue any and all remedies provided for hereunder, or under any one or more of the other Loan Documents.
11.3.4 Written Waivers. If a Default or an Event of Default is waived by the Majority Lenders or the Agent, in their sole discretion, pursuant to a specific written instrument executed by an authorized officer of Agent, the Default or Event of Default so waived shall be deemed to have never occurred.
12. ADDITIONAL REMEDIES.
12.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not the indebtedness evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage shall be due and payable or Agent shall have instituted any foreclosure or other action for the enforcement of the Mortgage or the Note, Agent may, and shall upon the direction of the Majority Lenders, in addition to any other remedies which Agent may have hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, and in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion:

Exercise the rights of Borrower under any contract or other agreement in any way relating to the Property and take over and use all or any part of the labor, materials, supplies and equipment contracted for by Borrower, whether or not previously incorporated into the realty; and
12.1.4 Other Actions. In connection with any work or action undertaken by Agent pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents,
(i) engage builders, contractors, architects, engineers and others for the purpose of furnishing labor, materials and equipment,
(ii) pay, settle or compromise all bills or claims which may become liens against the property constituting the Collateral, or which have been or may be incurred in any manner in connection with the Property or for the discharge of liens, encumbrances or defects in the title of the Property or the Collateral,
(iii) take or refrain from taking such action hereunder as Agent may from time to time determine, and
(iv) engage marketing and leasing agents and real estate brokers to advertise, lease or sell portions or all of the Property or other Collateral upon such terms and conditions as Agent may in good faith determine.
12.2 Reimbursement. Borrower shall be liable to Agent and each of the Lenders for all sums paid or incurred pursuant to any of the Loan Documents whether the same shall be paid or incurred pursuant to this Section or otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Agent or any Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever shall be paid by Borrower to Agent upon demand with interest at the Default Rate as provided in this Agreement or the Note from the date of payment by Agent or any Lender (which payment date is at least 30 days after invoice to Borrower) to the date of payment to Agent and repayment of such sums with such interest shall be secured by the applicable Security Documents.
12.3 Power of Attorney. For the purpose of exercising the rights granted by this Section 12, as well as any and all other rights and remedies of Agent, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Agent (or any agent designated by Agent) its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, upon and following any Event of Default, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do and perform any acts permitted hereunder or by law in the name and on behalf of Borrower.
13. SECURITY INTEREST.
13.1 Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants to Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, a lien and security interest and as security for all liabilities and obligations to the Lenders, whether now existing or hereafter arising, upon and against all deposits, credits, collateral and property,
now or hereafter in the possession, custody, safekeeping or control of Agent or any Lender or any entity under the control of Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc, or in transit to any of them.
14. CASUALTY AND TAKING.
14.1 Casualty and Obligation To Repair. In the event of any damage or destruction to a Property or the other Collateral by reason of fire or other hazard or casualty (collectively, a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give written notice thereof to Agent and each of the Lenders as quickly as reasonably possible and proceed with reasonable diligence, in full compliance with all Legal Requirements and the other requirements of the Loan Documents, to repair, restore, rebuild or replace the affected property (collectively, the “Repair Work”).
14.2 Adjustment of Claims. All insurance claims shall be adjusted by Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, but subject to Agent’s prior written approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that if any Event of Default exists under any of the Loan Documents, Agent shall have the right to adjust and compromise such claims without the approval of Borrower.
14.3 Payment and Application of Insurance Proceeds. All proceeds of insurance in excess of $250,000.00 shall be paid to Agent and, if delivered to Agent, at Agent’s option, be either applied to Borrower’s Obligations (without prepayment premium, breakage costs or Cost Maintenance Fees) or released, in whole or in part, to pay for the actual cost of repair, restoration, rebuilding or replacement (collectively, “Cost To Repair”) as more fully set forth below. If the Cost To Repair does not exceed $250,000.00, Agent shall release so much of the insurance proceeds as may be required to pay for the actual Cost to Repair in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall also release so much of the insurance proceeds as may be required to pay the actual Cost To Repair if:
(i) In Agent’s good faith judgment such proceeds together with any additional funds as may be deposited with and pledged to Agent are sufficient to pay the Cost To Repair;
(ii) In Agent’s good faith judgment the Repair Work is likely to be completed prior to the Maturity Date;
(iii) No Event of Default exists under the Loan Documents; and
(iv) Each tenant under a Major Lease which might otherwise have a right to terminate its lease on account of such Casualty shall have waived its right to so terminate conditioned upon the Repair Work being completed within a reasonable period of time acceptable to Agent, all such that at completion of the Repair Work the Loan to Value Ratio shall not be less than 75% and the Debt Service Coverage shall be at least 1.25:1 (taking into account any business or rental interruption coverage), as reasonably projected by Agent.
Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, if Agent shall apply the insurance proceeds to the Obligations (which application shall be made in accordance with the Note), then Borrower shall have the right (but not the obligation) to prepay the
balance of the Loan subject to the prepayment premium, breakage costs and Cost Maintenance Fees set forth in the Note.
14.4 Conditions To Release of Insurance Proceeds. If Agent elects or is required to release insurance proceeds, Agent may impose reasonable conditions on such release which shall include, but not be limited to, the following:
(i) Prior written approval by Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed of plans, specifications, cost estimates, contracts and bonds for the restoration or repair of the loss or damage;
(ii) Waivers of lien, architect’s certificates, contractor’s sworn statements and other evidence of costs, payments and completion as Agent may reasonably require;
(iii) If the Cost To Repair does not exceed $250,000.00, the funds to pay therefor shall be released to Borrower, otherwise, funds shall be released upon final completion of the Repair Work, unless Borrower requests earlier funding, in which event partial monthly disbursements equal to 95% of the value of the work completed shall be made prior to final completion of the repair, restoration or replacement and the balance of the disbursements shall be made upon full completion and the receipt by Agent of satisfactory evidence of payment and release of all liens, provided further that Agent shall release funds for the payment of any contract, subcontract or materialman that has completed all of such contract’s work in accordance with its contract upon reasonably satisfactory evidence of completion and delivery of appropriate lien waivers;
(iv) Determination by Agent that the undisbursed balance of such proceeds on deposit with Agent, together with additional funds deposited for the purpose, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the remaining Cost To Repair, free and clear of all liens and claims for lien;
(v) All work to comply with the standards, quality of construction and Legal Requirements applicable to the original construction of the Property;
(vi) each tenant of the Property which might otherwise have a right to terminate its lease on account of such Casualty shall have waived its right to so terminate conditioned only upon the Repair Work being completed within a reasonable period of time acceptable to Agent or such period as is expressly provided in the applicable leases, whichever is longer, so long as the period does not exceed the period for which rent loss insurance is available all such that upon completion of the Repair Work the Loan To Value Ratio shall be satisfied and the Debt Service Coverage covenant as projected by Agent will be complied with; and
(vii) the absence of any Default under any Loan Documents.
Nothing herein shall limit Borrower’s right to prepay the Loan at any time.
14.5 Taking. If there is any condemnation for public use of the Property or of any Collateral, the awards on account thereof shall be paid to Agent and shall be applied to
Borrower’s obligations, or released to Borrower to pay for the Cost To Repair, in the same manner and subject to the same thresholds and limitations set forth in Sections 14.3 and 14.4 hereof and such taking or condemnation shall not be deemed a violation of Section 9.7.
15. THE AGENT AND THE LENDERS.
15.1 Appointment of Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc as Agent of such Lender to act as specified herein and in the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Agent to take such actions, exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to or conferred upon the Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article 15. The Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, nor shall it have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Agent. Except as set forth herein, the provisions of this Article 15 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof.
15.2 Administration of Loans by Agent. The Agent shall be responsible for administering the Loans on a day-to-day basis. In the exercise of such administrative duties, the Agent shall use the same diligence and standard of care that is customarily used by the Agent with respect to similar loans held by the Agent solely for its own account. Borrower may rely, without inquiry, on any waiver or action by Agent under the Loan Documents if Agent indicates such waiver or action is taken as Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
Each Lender delegates to the Agent the full right and authority on its behalf to take the following specific actions in connection with its administration of the Loans:
(i) to fund the Loans in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, but only to the extent of immediately available funds provided to the Agent by the respective Lenders for such purpose;
(ii) to receive all payments of principal, interest, fees and other charges paid by, or on behalf of, the Borrower and, except for fees to which the Agent is entitled pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise, to distribute all such funds to the respective Lenders as provided for hereunder;
(iii) to keep and maintain complete and accurate files and records of all material matters pertaining to the Loans, and make such files and records available for inspection and copying by each Lender and its respective employees and agents during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent; and
(iv) to do or omit doing all such other actions as may be reasonably necessary or incident to the implementation, administration and servicing of the Loans and the rights and duties delegated hereinabove.
15.3 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through its agent or attorneys-in-fact, and shall be entitled to the advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties hereunder or under the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be responsible to the other Lenders for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
15.4 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be liable to any other Lenders for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except for its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (i) any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by the Borrower or any of its officers or agents contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or other document delivered in connection therewith; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements contained in, or the conditions of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) the state or condition of any properties of the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder constituting Collateral for the Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, or any information contained in the books or records of the Borrower; (iv) the validity, enforceability, collectibility, effectiveness or genuineness of this Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other certificate, document or instrument furnished in connection therewith; or (v) the validity, priority or perfection of any lien securing or purporting to secure the Obligations or the value or sufficiency of any of the Collateral.
15.5 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, or other document or writing believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or persons, and upon the advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Majority Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of the taking or failing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with any written request of the Majority Lenders, and each such request of the Majority Lenders, and any action taken or failure to act by the Agent pursuant thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required in any event to act, or to refrain from acting, in any manner which is contrary to the Loan Documents or to applicable law.
15.6 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default unless the Agent has actual knowledge of the same or has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Agent obtains such actual knowledge or receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice
thereof to each of the Lenders. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Majority Lenders. Unless and until the Agent shall have received such direction, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders.
15.7 Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on the financial statements prepared by the Borrower and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, and financial and other condition of the Borrower and has made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in determining whether or not conditions precedent to closing any Loan hereunder have been satisfied and in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
15.8 Agent’s Reimbursement and Indemnification. The Lenders agree to reimburse and indemnify the Agent, ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments, for (i) any amounts not reimbursed by the Borrower for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement by the Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) any other expenses incurred by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, amendment, waiver and/or enforcement of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, action, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any other document delivered in connection therewith or any transaction contemplated thereby, or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent that they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for any purpose shall, in the opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the action indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished.
15.9 Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its Commitment as a Lender, and the Loans made by it and the Note issued to it, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder and under any other Loan Document as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its individual capacity. The Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it were not the Agent hereunder.
15.10 Successor Agent. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower. The Majority Lenders, for good cause, may remove Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Agent, the Borrower and the other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving notice of resignation or the Majority Lenders’ giving notice of removal, as the case may be, then the retiring Agent may appoint, on behalf of the Borrower and the Lenders, a successor Agent. Each such successor Agent shall be a financial institution which meets the requirements of an Eligible Assignee. Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article 15 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent hereunder.
15.11 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In the case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent shall, at the request, or may, upon the consent, of the Majority Lenders, and provided that the Lenders have given to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents respecting the foreclosure of mortgages, the sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Collateral and the exercise of any other legal or equitable rights or remedies as it may have hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise by virtue of applicable law, or to refrain from so acting if similarly requested by the Majority Lenders. The Agent shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting upon the instruction of the Majority Lenders, and such instruction shall be binding upon all the Lenders. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such foreclosure, sale or other disposition or the exercise of any other right or remedy, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all costs and liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such direction, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. The Agent may, in its discretion but without obligation, in the absence of direction from the Majority Lenders, take such interim actions as it believes necessary to preserve the rights of the Lenders hereunder and in and to any Collateral securing the Obligations, including but not limited to petitioning a court for injunctive relief, appointment of a receiver or preservation of the proceeds of any Collateral. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, including without limitation the Notes, other than through the Agent.
15.12 Respecting Loans and Payments.
15.12.1 Procedures for Loans. Agent shall give written notice to each Lender of each request for a conversion of an existing Loan from a Variable Rate Advance to a LIBO Rate Advance, by facsimile transmission, hand delivery or overnight courier, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any LIBO Rate
Advance or conversion to a LIBO Rate Advance, or (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any Variable Rate Advance. Each such notice shall be accompanied by a written summary of the request for a Loan and shall specify (a) the date of the requested Loan, (b) the aggregate amount of the requested Loan, (c) each Lender’s pro rata share of the requested Loan, and (d) the applicable interest rate selected by Borrower with respect to such Loan, or any portion thereof, together with the applicable Interest Period, if any, selected, or deemed selected, by Borrower. Each Lender shall, before 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date set forth in any such request for a Loan, make available to Agent, at an account to be designated by Agent at Anglo Irish Bank Corporation plc, in same day funds, each Lender’s ratable portion of the requested Loan. After Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon Agent’s determination that the applicable conditions to making the requested Loan have been fulfilled, Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower as provided for in this Loan Agreement. Within a reasonable period of time following the making of each Loan, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following such Loan, Agent shall deliver to each Lender a copy of Borrower’s request for Loans. Promptly after receipt by Agent of written request from any Lender, Agent shall deliver to the requesting Lender the accompanying certifications and such other instruments, documents, certifications and approvals delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Agent in support of the requested Loan.
15.12.2 Nature of Obligations of Lenders. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Failure of any Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder shall not result in any other Lender becoming obligated to advance more than its Commitment Percentage of the Loans, nor shall such failure release or diminish the obligations of any other Lender to fund its Commitment Percentage provided herein.
15.12.3 Payments to Agent. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans or the Notes shall be made to the Agent by the Borrower or any other obligor or guarantor for the account of the Lenders in immediately available funds as provided in the Notes and this Agreement. The Agent agrees promptly to distribute to each Lender, on the same Business Day upon which each such payment is made if possible, such Lender’s proportionate share of each such payment in immediately available funds, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. The Agent shall upon each distribution promptly notify Borrower of such distribution and each Lender of the amounts distributed to it applicable to principal of, and interest on, the proportionate share held by the applicable Lender. Each payment to the Agent under the first sentence of this Section 15.12.3 shall constitute a payment by the Borrower to each Lender in the amount of such Lender’s proportionate share of such payment, and any such payment to the Agent shall not be considered outstanding for any purpose after the date of such payment by the Borrower to the Agent without regard to whether or when the Agent makes distribution thereof as provided above. If any payment received by the Agent from the Borrower is insufficient to pay both all accrued interest and all principal then due and owing, the Agent shall first apply such payment to all outstanding interest until paid in full and shall then apply the remainder of such payment to all principal then due and owing, and shall distribute the payment to each Lender accordingly.
15.12.4 Distribution of Liquidation Proceeds. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Agent shall distribute all Liquidation Proceeds in the order and manner set forth below:
First: To the Agent, towards any fees and any expenses for which the Agent is entitled to reimbursement under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not theretofore paid to the Agent.
Second: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been reimbursed for all expenses which such Lenders have previously paid to the Agent and not theretofore paid to such Lenders.
Third: To all applicable Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all other amounts due to such Lenders under the Loans including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred directly by such Lenders to the extent such costs and expenses are reimbursable to such Lenders by the Borrower under the Loan Documents.
Fourth: To all Lenders in accordance with their proportional share based upon their respective Commitment Percentages until all Lenders have been paid in full all principal and interest due to such Lenders under the Loans, with each Lender applying such proceeds for purposes of this Agreement to the outstanding principal balance due to such Lender and to accrued and unpaid interest due under the Loans, in such order or preference as the Agent may determine.
Fifth: To the Borrower or such third parties as may be entitled to claim Liquidation Proceeds.
15.12.5 Adjustments. If, after Agent has paid each Lender’s proportionate share of any payment received or applied by Agent in respect of the Loans, that payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or paid over by Agent, whether pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law, sharing of payments clause of any loan agreement or otherwise, such Lender shall, at Agent’s request, promptly return its proportionate share of such payment or application to Agent, together with the Lender’s proportionate share of any interest or other amount required to be paid by Agent with respect to such payment or application.
15.12.6 Distribution by Agent. If in the opinion of the Agent distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve any liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction or has been resolved by the mutual consent of all Lenders. In addition, the Agent may request full and complete indemnity, in form and substance satisfactory to it, prior to making any such distribution. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either
repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over to the same in such manner and to such persons as shall be determined by such court.
15.12.7 Actions by Agent. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any sale of the Collateral or other disposition and shall indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all liabilities incurred in respect to all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions provided that Agent need not comply with any such directions to the extent Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such directions would constitute a violation of the obligations undertaken by the Agent and/or Lenders under the Loan Documents, or will constitute a violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation applicable to the Agent.
15.13 Delinquent Lender. If for any reason any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations under the Agreement, including without limitation its obligation to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan, expenses or setoff (a “Delinquent Lender”) and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days of receipt from the Agent of written notice thereof, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Agent, other Lenders, the Borrower or any other party at law or in equity, and not at limitation thereof, (i) such Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of, or decision-making rights related to, the Loans, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal, and (ii) a Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments due to it from the Borrower, whether on account of the outstanding Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining non-delinquent Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their proportionate shares of the outstanding Loans until, as a result of application of such assigned payments the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all the outstanding Loans shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency. The Delinquent Lender’s decision-making and participation rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its pro rata share of any Loans or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
The non-delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to acquire for no cash consideration, (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right) the Delinquent Lender’s Commitment to fund future Loans (the “Future Commitment”). Upon any such purchase of the pro rata share of any Delinquent Lender’s Future Commitment, the Delinquent Lender’s share in future Loans and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and funds advanced by Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of an Delinquent Lender’s failure to timely fund its pro rata share of a Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

12. CapEx Escrow Account. The following shall be added as a new Section 9.22 of the Senior Loan Agreement:
CapEx Escrow Account. The Borrowers shall open and maintain an interest-bearing deposit account with the Agent (the “CapEx Escrow Account”). Borrowers shall, on a monthly basis commencing as of March 1, 2009 and on the first day of each month thereafter, deposit into the CapEx Escrow Account a sum of money in cash equal to the CapEx Escrow Payment Amount. All such deposited sums shall stand as additional security for the Obligations and shall not be removed or withdrawn therefrom except as permitted in this Section 9.22. As used herein, the term “CapEx Escrow Payment Amount” means the successive monthly payment amounts set forth on the schedule (the “CapEx Schedule”) attached hereto as Exhibit A; provided however, that (a) following a partial prepayment of principal on the Senior Loan made on account of a Partial Release pursuant to Section 9.21 of the Senior Loan Agreement, or (b) a partial prepayment of principal on the Senior Loan (including payments made from condemnation or casualty
proceeds) in excess of $500,000.00, the remaining CapEx Escrow Payment Amounts shall be adjusted in accordance with a revised CapEx Schedule to be provided by Agent.
(a) No Default. During the continuance of an Event of Default, no funds may be withdrawn from the CapEx Escrow Account and Agent may apply or set off all funds in the CapEx Escrow Account against the Obligations and otherwise take such actions reasonably necessary for Agent and Lenders to realize on such application or set off.
(b) CapEx/TI/LC Costs. Subject to Agent’s prior approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, funds may be withdrawn by the Borrowers to pay third parties for, or reimburse Borrowers for capital expenditures, repairs or tenant improvements with respect to any Property (hereinafter, collectively the “Work”) or leasing costs with respect to the leasing of any Property (but not including costs relating to the obtaining possession of any Property) (the “LC Costs”) subject to the following conditions:
(i) Withdrawals for reimbursements to the Borrowers or to pay third party invoices may be made from the CapEx Escrow Account at the Borrowers’ request to Agent, not more frequently than twice a month, on the basis of written requests in accordance with the method described in this Section 9.22. Agent shall act upon such requests by the Borrowers (including any requests for pre-approval of Work or LC Costs described in paragraphs (ii) and (iii), respectively, within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of the written request for such withdrawal, which action may include, without limitation, approval of the requested withdrawal or specifying the basis for not approving the request and, where applicable, requesting additional information and supporting documentation.
(ii) All requests by the Borrowers for reimbursement or to pay third party invoices for Work performed shall be accompanied with invoices or paid receipts for the Work performed. With respect to any request for withdrawals from the CapEx Escrow Account for Work to be performed in excess of the lower of $200,000 or 10% of the Value of the Property for which the request is being made, the Borrowers shall also include in their written request, for Agent’s review and approval, those items reasonably requested by Agent pertaining to the Work to be performed, including, without limitation: (i) a reasonably detailed budget (the “Budget”) and estimated schedule for the subject Work; (ii) if applicable, plans and specifications; (iii) to the extent available at the time of submission, all applicable contracts or invoices which may include all relevant construction, architect, or engineer services to be performed and (iv) if applicable, copies of all final licenses and permits (to be delivered after completion of the Work, if applicable, and not in any request for approval). Borrowers may request Agent’s pre-approval of the scope of Work to be performed and the Budget for such Work by submitting such a request to Agent, which pre-approval by Agent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. Once Agent has pre-approved the scope and Budget for such Work, as long as there has been no material modification to such Budget or scope, requests for withdrawals to reimburse payments made by the applicable Borrower with respect to such Work or to pay third party invoices for Work performed will be granted, subject to Agent’s receipt of invoices or receipts for the Work performed and the Consultant’s approval, if required under paragraph (iv) below.
(iii) With respect to any request for withdrawals from the CapEx Escrow Account for reimbursement of any LC Costs or payment of any LC Costs then due, the Borrowers shall provide to Agent for review and approval those items reasonably requested by Agent pertaining to any LC Costs to be paid or reimbursed, including, without limitation, detailed invoices, proposed leases (if not already provided to Agent) or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Agent. Borrowers may request Agent’s pre-approval of any LC Costs before the applicable Borrower incurs such costs or executes any leases with respect to such LC Costs by submitting such a request to Agent, which pre-approval by Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any LC Costs that are set forth in any Lease approved (or deemed approved) by Agent pursuant to Section 9.17 of the Senior Loan Agreement shall not require Agent’s additional approval hereunder and shall be funded from the CapEx Escrow Account, subject to Agent’s receipt of the paid invoices and receipts for reimbursement therefor, or other acceptable evidence that payment of such LC Costs is then due.
(iv) With respect to any request for withdrawals from the CapEx Escrow Account for Work to be performed or LC Costs to be paid in excess of the lower of $200,000 or 10% of the Value of the Property for which the request is being made, Agent shall have the right to employ one or more independent engineers, architects, builders or other construction specialists, environmental advisors, scientists, accountants, and attorneys to act as an advisor to Agent, and to any Lender, in connection with the proposed withdrawal to be made from the CapEx Escrow Account (each of which shall be a “Consultant”). The reasonable costs and fees of each Consultant permitted hereunder shall be paid by Borrower upon billing therefor and, if not so paid within thirty (30) days, may be paid directly by Agent on behalf of the Lenders through a withdrawal from the CapEx Escrow Account. Upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, subject to the provisions of the Leases, Borrower shall provide Consultants with continuing access to all aspects of the Work being performed.
(v) Neither Agent nor any Lender nor any of their Consultants shall have liability to Borrowers or any contractor, architect, engineer or other Person working directly or indirectly for or at the request of any Borrower on account of (i) services performed by such Consultant; (ii) any failure or neglect (absent gross negligence or willful misconduct) by any such
Consultant to properly perform services; or (iii) any approval or disapproval of work, construction documents, plans and specifications, requisitions or other matters (except that Agent may not unreasonably withhold, condition or deny its consent). Neither Agent, nor any such Consultant, nor any Lender, shall have any obligation regarding proper performance of the Work.
(vi) Agent reserves the right to review the Work to be performed on a periodic basis and the LC Costs to be withdrawn. Amounts withdrawn shall not exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the actual costs incurred by Borrowers or paid by Borrowers in completing the Work or for the LC Costs to be paid. All Work performed by the Borrowers shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with applicable legal requirements, without defects.
(c) Borrowers agree and acknowledge that Agent is not obligated to permit the withdrawal of any funds from the CapEx Escrow Account except as provided herein. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that any permission for the withdrawal of the funds for any Work shall be conditioned upon receipt by Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of such additional items as Agent may reasonably require to confirm the validity and priority of its mortgage on the subject Property, including but not limited, in the event of any Work in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), to a title examination and endorsement to the Agent’s title policy confirming the validity and priority of its mortgage and security interest hereunder.
(d) Borrowers further agree and acknowledge that permission for withdrawal of the funds from the CapEx Escrow Account shall be conditioned upon certification, by the applicable Borrower with respect to the Property for which funds are requested, that no event then exists or fails to exist which is or which, solely with the passage of time or the giving of notice (or both), would be an Event of Default. Each requisition for permission to withdraw funds shall be in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent and shall be signed by the applicable Borrower setting forth the amount and purpose of the withdrawal. If costs for any Work or LC Costs exceed the amount approved by Agent to be withdrawn from the CapEx Escrow Account, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to advance all funds necessary to complete the Work or to pay for the LC Costs prior to the last withdrawal to be made by the applicable Borrower with respect to the applicable Work to be performed or the applicable LC Costs to be paid.
(e) The parties agree that amounts funded into the CapEx Escrow Account shall not be considered Operating Expenses for the purposes of Section 9.19.1(v) of the Senior Loan Agreement, provided however, that withdrawals from the CapEx Escrow Account on account of any expenditures that are Operating Expenses under Section 9.19.1(v) shall continue to be considered Operating Expenses under Section 9.19.1(v) for purposes of any relevant calculations.
13. Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective as of the Effective Date at such time when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(a) All action on the part of each Borrower and each other party necessary for the valid execution, delivery and performance by each Borrower of this Agreement, that certain Ninth Modification to Bridge Loan Agreement dated as of the date hereof, and all other documentation, instruments, and agreements to be executed in connection herewith shall have been duly and effectively taken and evidence thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Agent shall have been provided to the Agent.
