occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and (C) such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying that Lender is entitled to receive payments hereunder without deduction or withholding of any Loan Taxes. However, in the event that any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or in the interpretation or application thereof (a “Law Change”), has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery pursuant to the preceding sentence would otherwise be required which renders such form inapplicable, or which would prevent Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form, or if such Law Change results in Lender being unable to deliver a Form W-9 (or other satisfactory evidence that it is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax), Lender shall not be obligated to deliver such forms but shall, promptly following such Law Change, but in any event prior to the time the next payment hereunder is due following such Law Change, advise Borrower in writing whether it is capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of Loan Taxes. In the event of such Law Change, Borrower shall have the obligation to make Lender whole and to “gross-up” under Section 2.5(a) hereof, despite the failure by Lender to deliver such forms.
(d) If Lender receives a refund in respect of Loan Taxes paid by Borrower, it shall promptly pay such refund, together with any other amounts paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.5(a) hereof in connection with such refunded Loan Taxes, to Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower agrees to promptly return such refund to Lender if it receives notice from Lender that it is required to repay such refund. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to require Lender to seek any refund and Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower to do so.
(e) All amounts payable under this Section 2.5 shall constitute additional interest hereunder and shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.5 shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage.

In the event the Imputed Debt Service Ratio has not been satisfied with as set forth above, an Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred unless Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days of written notice from Lender, has deposited funds equal to the Cure Amount in the Deposit Account or provided Lender with an unconditional standby letter of credit (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, issued by a bank satisfactory to Lender) equal to the Cure Amount. The “Cure Amount” shall mean an amount, as reasonably determined by Lender, equal to the amount which would have resulted in compliance with this covenant. Failure to do so shall constitute an Event of Default and a Sweep Event shall have occurred and the provisions of Section 6.8 shall be applicable. Such deposit or letter of credit shall be returned to Borrower, provided that no Default or Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, and further, provided that the Imputed Debt Service Ratio covenant was satisfied during the prior fiscal quarter, upon Borrower’s written request.

Borrower shall cause the REIT and the Managing Member to establish and maintain deposit accounts with Lender and cause all capital contributions due the REIT and the Managing Member or received by the REIT and the Managing Member to be deposited therein (the “Capital Accounts”). If the principal payment due under Section 2.4(b) of the Note is not made when due, neither the Managing Member nor the REIT shall have any further access to the Capital Accounts or any funds on deposit therein, and Lender may setoff all funds on deposit therein. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in any Loan Document, from and after the time that Borrower makes the principal payment under Section 2.4(b) of the Note (provided such payment is made on or before the date when due and, further provided that no other Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), Lender shall have no further rights with respect to the Capital Accounts, including without limitation setoff rights or otherwise, and the Capital Account is expressly not an “Account” under Section 6.1 of this Loan Agreement, under Section 1.1(o) of the Deed of Trust, or under any other provision of any Loan Document which may grant a security interest therein.

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the Gross Revenue from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its Obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property and Liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply, coverage all in form and substance and with limits, terms and conditions acceptable to Lender including (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form, including coverage for 100% of the total insurable costs of construction (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsections (i), (iii), (vi), (xi) and Section 5.1.1(h), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance acceptable to Lender evidencing the Policies, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Lender’s approval and shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a). Lender shall have determined, based on a review of the schedule of locations and values that the amount of such coverage is sufficient in light of the other risks and properties insured under the blanket policy.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as a named insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property coverages, including but not limited to boiler and machinery, terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Additionally, if Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(h) If any of the Policies include any exclusions for loss, cost, damage or liability caused by “terrorism” or “terrorist acts”, Borrower shall obtain and maintain terrorism coverage to cover such exclusion(s) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 (a “Qualified Carrier”) or, in the event that such terrorism coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such terrorism coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such terrorism coverage.

Certified copies of the Policies shall be delivered to Lender, at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies.

In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1) above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.
Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1 Casualty. If the Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, submit proof of loss if not submitted promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments; provided, however, if Borrower fails to settle and adjust such claim within sixty (60) days after the Casualty, Lender shall have the right to settle and adjust such claim at Borrower’s cost and without Borrower’s consent. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.
EAST\53909776.4
43
5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
5.2.3 Casualty and Condemnation Proceeds. Payments received on account of the business interruption insurance specified in subsection 5.1.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty or Condemnation shall be deposited directly with Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied repay the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay off the Loan in full.

Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held for the benefit of Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iii) Leases requiring payment of annual rent equal to ninety percent (90%) of the Gross Revenue received by Borrower during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation and all Leases shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation.
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Borrower;

EAST\53909776.4
45
(vii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements.
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit with Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (iii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanics’ or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements.

All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
EAST\53909776.4
46
(d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to
EAST\53909776.4
47
Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in subsection 5.3.2(h).
(h) 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 Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate.
ARTICLE 6: CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS
Section 6.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Borrower shall cause all Rents and other Gross Revenue to be transmitted directly into an operating deposit account (the “Deposit Account”) established and maintained by Borrower with Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of
EAST\53909776.4
56
Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 11.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under any Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 11.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 11.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 11.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
EAST\53909776.4
61
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any Bankruptcy Action; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s election in its sole discretion, from any amounts in the Deposit Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any default or breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by Borrower; (iv) ownership of the Mortgage, the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property; (viii) any failure of the Property to comply with any Legal Requirement; (ix) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof, or any liability asserted against Lender with respect thereto; and (x) the claims of any lessee of any portion of the Property or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease; (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such
EAST\53909776.4
62
Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender. The provisions of Section 11.13(a) and this Section 11.13(b) shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage.
Section 11.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan (and disburse Reserve Funds) hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or make any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.

Section 11.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
EAST\53909776.4
64
Section 11.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including the Summary of Discussion Points (as amended) between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 11.23 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement or any other Loan Documents as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder and thereunder shall be joint and several.
Section 11.24 Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 11.25 Assignments and Participations.
(a) Lender may assign, sell, pledge, participate, transfer or delegate, as applicable, to one or more Persons all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower may not assign, transfer or delegate its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without Lender’s prior written consent. Any attempted assignment, delegation or transfer shall be null and void.
(b) Upon the execution and delivery of any assignment and acceptance of Lender’s rights hereunder and the other Loan Documents, from and after the effective date specified in such assignment and acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder as specified therein.
(c) Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall remain the holder of any Note for all purposes of this Agreement, and (iv) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under and in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 11.25, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignees or participants, as the case may be, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates or to any aspect of the Loan that has been furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Section 11.27 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in accordance with Legal Requirements, in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
