2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Xxxxxxxx may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payments.
(a) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the period through and including April 5, 2024. In addition, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Payment Date occurring in May, 2024 and on each Payment Date thereafter to but excluding the Maturity Date. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each payment and prepayment under this Agreement shall be applied on a pro rata and pari passu basis to each Note, first to accrued and unpaid interest and then (as applicable) to the portion of the principal allocable to each Note. Any amounts recovered by or paid to Lender during the continuance of an Event of Default may be applied to the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) All payments and other amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, defense or irrespective of, and without deduction for, counterclaims.
45
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) the Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Accrual Period in which the related Payment Date occurs.
2.2.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through and including the Maturity Date.
2.2.4 Payments after Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (a) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was delinquent taking into account any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Debt (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Debt upon the happening and during the continuance of any Event of Default.
2.2.5 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due (other than any principal due on the Maturity Date), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment; provided, however, the failure by Deposit Bank during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period to disburse any payments due to Lender and/or allocate such funds to the appropriate Reserve Account in violation of the Loan Documents shall not result in a late payment charge under this Section 2.2.5. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
46
2.2.7 Indemnified Taxes.
(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes, excluding (i) Indemnified Taxes measured by Xxxxxx’s net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) taxes measured by Xxxxxx’s overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is resident or engaged in business, and (iii) withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America, any state, commonwealth, protectorate territory or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of the failure of Lender which is a Non-U.S. Entity to comply with the terms of paragraph (b) below. If any non-excluded Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non-excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Indemnified Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.
(b) In the event that Lender or any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Entity”) Xxxxxx agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of such forms, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the Non-U.S. Entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
47
2.2.8 Invalidated Payments. If any payment received by Lender is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, and is required to be returned by Lender, then the obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated, notwithstanding that the Note may have been marked satisfied and returned to Borrower or otherwise canceled, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.
2.2.9 New Payment Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than one (1) time during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date other than the sixth (6th) day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on not less than sixty (60) days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: shall not (x) increase any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder (other than to a de minimis extent), (y) change the Maturity Date or (z) modify the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, except that the first (1st) payment of interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the Interest Rate for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date. In addition, in the event that Lender elects to change the Payment Date to a New Payment Date pursuant to this Section 2.2.9, Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, change the Accrual Period to a corresponding period of thirty-one (31) days or less selected by Xxxxxx (a “New Interest Accrual Period”), and in the event that Lender elects to change the Accrual Period to a New Interest Accrual Period, the first (1st) payment of interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be adjusted accordingly to accommodate such change in the Accrual Period.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.
(b) After the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in full (but not in part), provided that (i) [intentionally omitted], (ii) Borrower submits a notice to Lender setting forth the projected date of prepayment (the “Prepayment Date”), which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, (iii) Borrower pays to Lender (A) the unpaid principal amount of the Note, (B) all interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of the Note to and including the date of prepayment, (C) all other sums due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium (or, if an Event of Default then exists, the Yield Maintenance Default Premium pursuant to Section 2.3.3), and (E) if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Accrual Period extends beyond the date of prepayment. If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.1, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.3.1 shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. A notice of prepayment may be revoked by Borrower or Borrower may change the repayment date if written notice of such revocation or change is delivered by Borrower to Lender on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the repayment date set forth in the notice of prepayment and Borrower pays any reasonable actual third-party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such revocation.
(c) After the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in part in connection with a Debt Yield Cure – Partial Prepayment or a prepayment pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(i)(C) hereof, provided that (i) no Event of Default then exists, (ii) Borrower submits the notice to Lender described in Section 2.3.1(b)(ii) above to Lender setting forth the Prepayment Date, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, (iii) Borrower pays to Lender (A) the amount described in the definition of “Debt Yield Cure – Partial Prepayment” in Article I hereof, or the amount needed to achieve the Debt Service Coverage Ratio required by Section 6.4(b)(i)(C) (as applicable), (B) all interest accrued and unpaid on the principal balance of the Note being prepaid, including the date of prepayment, (C) all other sums due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (D) if such prepayment occurs prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to the amount being prepaid, and (E) if such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Accrual Period extends beyond the date of prepayment. If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.1, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.3.1 shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date. A notice of prepayment may be revoked by Borrower or Borrower may change the repayment date if written notice of such revocation or change is delivered by Borrower to Lender on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the repayment date set forth in the notice of prepayment and Borrower pays any reasonable actual third-party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such revocation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall also have the right to prepay the Debt in part in accordance with Section 2.5.2 hereof.
(d) In addition to Xxxxxxxx’s right to prepay pursuant to Section 2.3.1(b) and (c) above and Section 2.5.2 below, Borrower shall also have the right to voluntarily defease the Loan pursuant to Section 2.4 and Section 2.5.2 hereof.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, prepayments during an Event of Default are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 2.3.3 hereof.
48
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the Payment Date immediately following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated (and does not elect) to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note together with all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the last day of the Accrual Period related to the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Payment Date, through and including the last day of the Accrual Period related to such Payment Date) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2.
2.3.3 Prepayment During Existence of Event of Default. Except in connection with a repayment pursuant to Section 2.3.2 or Section 2.5.2 hereof, if, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower tenders payment of all or any part of the Debt, or if all or any portion of the Debt is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, (i) the Yield Maintenance Default Premium if such tender or recovery occurs on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date, or the Yield Maintenance Premium if such tender or recovery occurs after the Permitted Prepayment Date and prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, (ii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of prepayment, together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Default Rate through and including the end of the Accrual Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Accrual Period extends beyond the date of prepayment and (iii) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on or prior to the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower.

Section 2.4 Defeasance.
2.4.1 Voluntary Defeasance.
(a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist (other than an Event of Default that will be cured by such defeasance in accordance with Section 2.5.2 hereof, and provided that Xxxxxx has not applied for the appointment of a receiver, declared the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable or commenced a foreclosure action), Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Permitted Defeasance Date to voluntarily defease all of the Loan, or a portion thereof in connection with a release of one or more Individual Properties pursuant to Section 2.5.2 hereof, by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Total Defeasance Event” with respect to the defeasance of the entire Loan and a “Partial Defeasance Event” with respect to a defeasance of only a portion of the Loan in connection with the release of an Individual Property pursuant to Section 2.5.2 hereof):
(i) Borrower shall provide not less than fifteen (15) (but not more than ninety (90)) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Business Day on which the defeasance will occur (with respect to a Total Defeasance Event such date being the “Total Defeasance Date” and with respect to a Partial Defeasance Event, such date being the “Partial Defeasance Date”), provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to cancel such notice by providing Lender with notice of cancellation not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled Total Defeasance Date or Partial Defeasance Date, as appliable, provided that Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred as a result of such cancellation;
(ii) If the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, then Borrower shall pay to Lender the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on the Payment Date next following the Defeasance Date (the “Post Defeasance Payment Date”);
(iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents;
(iv) Borrower shall deliver to Lender the Defeasance Deposit applicable to the Defeasance Event;
(v) In connection with a Partial Defeasance Event, Borrower shall cooperate and execute all necessary documents to modify this Agreement and to amend and restate the Note and issue two (2) substitute notes (or, if there is more than one note prior to such Partial Defeasance Event, such number of notes required to split all such notes, and the splitting of such notes shall be pro rata), one (1) note having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note and a maturity date equal to the Maturity Date (the “Defeased Note”), which Defeased Note shall set forth that portion of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount that shall be due thereunder on each Payment Date, and the other note having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the Note (the “Undefeased Note”), which Undefeased Note shall set forth that portion of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due thereunder on each Payment Date and which together with the Defeased Note(s) shall total the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on each Payment Date. The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall otherwise have terms identical to the Note, except that a Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance Event;
50
(vi) Borrower shall execute and deliver a security agreement, in a form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender, creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the Defeasance Collateral purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4 (the “Security Agreement”);
(vii) Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel for Borrower in a form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender stating, among other things, that Borrower has legally and validly transferred and assigned the Defeasance Collateral and all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note (or the Defeased Note, as applicable) to the Successor Borrower, that Xxxxxx has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the Defeasance Collateral delivered by Xxxxxxxx and that any REMIC Trust formed pursuant to a Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of such Defeasance Event;
(viii) if a Securitization has occurred, (A) Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such defeasance and release will not result in a downgrading or withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect for the Securities immediately prior to such Defeasance Event, and (B) if required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the applicable Rating Agencies;
(ix) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.4.1(a) have been satisfied;
(x) Borrower shall deliver a certificate of an Approved Accountant certifying that the Defeasance Collateral purchased with the Defeasance Deposit generates monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(xi) Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request which are necessary to effectuate the Defeasance Event; and
(xii) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including, without limitation, (A) any costs and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Security Instrument as provided in Section 2.5 hereof, (B) Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, (C) the costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies, (D) any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note, or otherwise required to accomplish the defeasance and (E) the costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx, Servicer and any trustee, including attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the defeasance fee charged by the Servicer, exclusive of its actual out-of-pocket expenses, shall not exceed an aggregate amount of (1) $10,000 with respect to each Partial Defeasance Event or (2) $25,000 with respect to any Total Defeasance Event.
51
(b) In no event shall Lender have any obligation to notify Borrower that the Permitted Defeasance Date has occurred with respect to the Loan, except that Lender shall notify Borrower whether or not the Permitted Defeasance Date has occurred with respect to the Loan after receiving Borrower’s notice described in Section 2.4(a)(i) hereof; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to so notify Borrower shall not impose any liability upon Lender or grant Borrower any right to defease the Loan on or prior to the occurrence of the Permitted Defeasance Date.
(c) In connection with each Defeasance Event, Borrower retains the right to direct the purchase of U.S. Obligations (the “Defeasance Collateral”), subject to the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, which provide payments on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive scheduled Payment Dates after the Post Defeasance Payment Date upon which interest and (if applicable) principal payments are required under this Agreement and the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable), and in amounts equal to or more than the scheduled payments due on such Payment Dates under this Agreement and the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) (including, without limitation, scheduled payments of principal (if any), interest, servicing fees (if any), and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents on such Payment Dates) and assuming the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) is repaid in full on the Permitted Par Prepayment Date (the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the Defeasance Collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Xxxxxx or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent institutional lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book entry transfers and pledges through the book entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the Defeasance Collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such security interests. Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the Defeasance Collateral may be made directly to the Cash Management Account (unless otherwise directed by Xxxxxx) and applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable). Any portion of the Defeasance Deposit in excess of the amount necessary to purchase the Defeasance Collateral required by this Section 2.4 and satisfy Borrower’s other obligations under this Section 2.4 and Section 2.5 hereof shall be remitted to Borrower.
52
2.4.2 Successor Borrower. In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) which shall be a single purpose bankruptcy remote entity (meeting the requirements of Section 4.1.30 below, as applicable) with two (2) Independent Directors approved by Xxxxxx, and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents and the other Loan Documents, except with respect to those obligations which are expressly stated to survive. Borrower shall pay $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) and the Security Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note (as applicable) in accordance with this Section 2.4.2, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx, including Xxxxxx’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, actually incurred in connection therewith.
Section 2.5 Release of Property. Except as set forth in Section 2.4 hereof and this Section 2.5 (and without limiting the terms of the next sentence), no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Xxxxxxxx, upon payment in full of the Debt and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Security Instrument.
2.5.1 Release of All Property.
(a) After the Permitted Defeasance Date, if Xxxxxxxx has elected to defease the entire Loan, and after the Permitted Prepayment Date, if Xxxxxxxx has elected to prepay the entire Loan, and all the applicable requirements of Section 2.4 hereof and this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, all of the Property shall be released from the Lien of the respective Security Instruments.
(b) In connection with the release of the Security Instruments, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Defeasance Date or prepayment date (as applicable), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for each Individual Property for execution by Xxxxxx. Each such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Individual Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses Lender and Servicer incur arising from such release (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Borrower shall pay, in connection with such release, all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other reasonable expenses payable in connection therewith.

(c) Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt (or upon the occurrence of a Total Defeasance Event) in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, in lieu of applying monies as a full repayment of the Debt, and in lieu of releasing the Lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, in consideration of an amount equal to that necessary for a full repayment of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, endorse the Note, and assign the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (if the same is so requested), without representation or warranty by or recourse to Lender (other than representations relating to due execution and authority), to a lender designated by Xxxxxxxx, and Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower or such lender such instruments and other documents as shall be reasonably necessary, in compliance with all applicable laws, to evidence any such assignment of the Security Instrument and the Loan (including, if applicable, any of the note splitter agreements, Assigned Loan Documents and other documents referenced in Section 2.5.2(n) hereof). Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for any reasonable out of pocket costs and expenses Lender and Servicer incur arising from such assignment (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Borrower shall pay, in connection with such assignment all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other reasonable expenses in connection with therewith.
2.5.2 Release of Individual Property. No release of an Individual Property shall occur on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date (or prior to the date that is ninety (90) days following the Permitted Prepayment Date, if Lender delivers a written notice to Borrower on or prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date stating that a Securitization is imminently pending). Thereafter, Borrower shall have the right at any time to obtain the release (the “Partial Release”) of any one or more of the Individual Properties (individually and collectively, as the context requires, the “Released Property”) from the lien of the applicable Security Instrument thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Released Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction (or written waiver by Lender or Servicer) of each of the following conditions precedent:
(a) Borrower shall provide Lender with fifteen (15) days (or a shorter period of time if permitted by Lender in its sole discretion) prior written notice of the proposed Partial Release (the date of Xxxxxx’s receipt of such notice shall be referred to herein as a “Partial Release Notice Date,” and the proposed date of such Partial Release the “Partial Release Date”).
(b) Any and all sums due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents on each of the Partial Release Notice Date and the date of consummation of the Partial Release, shall be fully paid and no Event of Default (other than an Event of Default which applies only to the Released Property and Lender has determined in its reasonable discretion that such Partial Release will result in a cure of such Event of Default) shall be continuing as of the Partial Release Notice Date or the date of consummation of the Partial Release.
(c) Borrower shall have paid or reimbursed Lender for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the Partial Release (including without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, recording costs, Rating Agency fees and the current fee then being assessed by Servicer to all similarly situated borrowers to effect such release).
54
(d) Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such Partial Release, a release of lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Released Property for execution by Xxxxxx. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Released Property is located and shall contain standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation as may reasonably be required to satisfy the Prudent Lender Standard in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (iii) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Individual Properties subject to the Loan Documents not being released).
(e) To the extent there is one Clearing Account in the name of one Borrower utilized for all of the Property (rather than a separate Clearing Account for each Individual Property), and such Borrower is released from the obligations of the Loan Documents pursuant to this Section 2.5.2, then the name of the Clearing Account shall be changed to the name of a different Borrower.
(f) Subsequent to such release, each remaining Borrower shall continue to be a Special Purpose Entity pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 4.1.30 hereof.
(g) To the extent that the proposed Released Property is owned by a Borrower that also owns another Individual Property (or Properties) that remains subject to the lien of the Security Instrument, then such Released Property shall, in connection with such Partial Release, be sold or transferred to a Person other than such Borrower.
(h) If requested in writing by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall provide updated title reports for the remaining Individual Properties confirming no change in the priority of each of the unreleased Security Instruments on such remaining Individual Properties.
(i) If required under the operative documents with respect to any Securitization, Lender shall have received evidence in writing from any applicable Rating Agency to the effect that the proposed Partial Release will not result in a qualification, reduction, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned in such Securitization, or a waiver from any such rating agency stating that it has declined to review the Partial Release.
(j) If a Securitization has occurred, the Partial Release shall be permitted under REMIC Requirements in effect as of the consummation of the Partial Release, and, if reasonably required by Lender to confirm the same, Borrower shall (i) deliver to Lender opinions of counsel satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard (including an Additional Insolvency Opinion) and acceptable to the Rating Agencies (issued by counsel satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard and acceptable to the Rating Agencies) (1) stating that the Partial Release will not cause (A) the Loan to cease to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, either under the provisions of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860G-2(a)(8) or 1.860G-2(b) (as such regulations may be amended or superseded from time to time) or under any other provision of the Code or otherwise, and (B) the failure of any REMIC Trust or any other entity that holds the Note to maintain its tax status and (2) with respect to such other matters as may be required by Xxxxxx and (ii) pay all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies in connection with the Partial Release, including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket costs counsel fees.
55
(k) As of the date of consummation of the Partial Release, after giving effect to the release of the lien of the Security Instrument(s) encumbering the applicable Released Property the Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to the remaining Individual Properties (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month period) shall be no less than (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Closing Date or (ii) if the Released Property is a Distressed Property, 1.80 to 1.00; provided, however, that Borrower will have the right to satisfy the foregoing applicable test in this Section 2.5.2(k) by prepaying, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.1 hereof and in addition to the Adjusted Release Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.5.2(m) below, an additional portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount sufficient, when applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, to cause such applicable Debt Service Coverage Ratio test to be satisfied.
(l) As of the date of consummation of the Partial Release, after giving effect to the release of the lien of the Security Instrument(s) encumbering the applicable Released Property the Debt Yield with respect to the remaining Individual Properties (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month period) shall be no less than (i) the Debt Yield as of the Closing Date or (ii) if the Released Property is a Distressed Property, ten and 75/100 percent (10.75%); provided, however, that Borrower will have the right to satisfy the foregoing applicable test in this Section 2.5.2(l) by prepaying, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.1 hereof and in addition to the Adjusted Release Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.5.2(m) below, an additional portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount sufficient, when applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, to cause such applicable Debt Yield test to be satisfied.
(m) Borrower shall either, (i) provided the Partial Release Date is after the Permitted Defeasance Date, have satisfied all of the requirements of Section 2.4 (or Lender shall have waived any such requirements in writing) hereof for a Partial Defeasance Event and partially defease the Loan in an amount equal to or greater than the Adjusted Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property, and such defeasance shall be deemed a voluntary defeasance for all purposes hereunder, or (ii) have paid to Lender the Adjusted Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property together with the Individual Property Release Yield Maintenance Premium and all other amounts payable in connection with such voluntary prepayment due hereunder, including without limitation that if the Adjusted Release Amount is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, Borrower shall pay interest on the entire principal balance of the Loan for the full Accrual Period during which payment of the Adjusted Release Amount occurs. Any portion of the Adjusted Release Amount applied to the principal amount of the Debt shall be applied first, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount attributable to the Released Property to zero and second, pro rata to reduce the Allocated Loan Amounts of each of the other remaining Individual Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender has applied the Net Proceeds from a Casualty or Condemnation of an Individual Property to the repayment of the Debt and a Partial Release of such Individual Property is thereafter completed, (1) the Adjusted Release Amount for such Individual Property shall be reduced by the amount of such Net Proceeds so applied, and (2) no Yield Maintenance Premium or similar sum shall be due in connection therewith.
56
(n) If, in connection with a Partial Release effectuated by a partial prepayment (and not a Partial Defeasance Event), Borrower advises Lender that it desires Lender to assign the applicable Security Instrument and other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Assigned Loan Documents”) encumbering the Released Properties that are the subject of a Partial Release (collectively, the “Assigned Properties”) to a Person designated by Xxxxxxxx (the “Partial Assignee Lender”), then Lender shall (a) cooperate in all reasonable respects with Borrower (i) to split and sever each promissory note constituting the Note into two Notes, with one such Note (each, a “Remaining Note”) continuing to evidence the portion of the Loan secured by the Individual Properties that are not Assigned Properties (collectively, the “Remaining Properties”), and the other such Note (each, an “Assigned Note”) securing the portion of the Loan to be secured by the Assigned Properties, and (ii) to assign the Assigned Note and the Assigned Loan Documents to the Partial Assignee Lender, with assignments of the recorded Assigned Loan Documents in recordable form and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Partial Assignee Lender, (b) deliver to the Partial Assignee Lender or as directed by Xxxxxxxx the originally executed Assigned Note, (c) execute and deliver to the Partial Assignee Lender or as directed by Xxxxxxxx, (i) an allonge with respect to the Assigned Note, (ii) executed assignments of the recorded Assigned Loan Documents (and the original applicable Assigned Loan Documents or a certified copy of record to the assignee thereof), and (iii) such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, termination, severance and release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements and terminations of rent direction notices to Tenants and other third parties), all in recordable form as may reasonably be requested by Borrower to evidence such assignment; provided, however, that such assignment shall be made without representation, warranty or covenant by Xxxxxx (other than that Lender is the lawful owner of such Assigned Note and the Assigned Loan Documents, and Xxxxxx has the power to assign the same and the outstanding principal balance thereof). In connection with any assignment effected in accordance with this paragraph, Borrower shall deliver such documents and agreements as may be reasonably required by Xxxxxx.
(o) Borrower shall deliver to Lender such additional information and documentation with respect to such Partial Release as Lender may reasonably request and shall deliver or take, as the case may be, any other documents, items or actions reasonably requested by Xxxxxx in connection with such release; provided, however, no such documents or actions shall increase Borrower’s liability or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents, other than to a de minimis extent.
(p) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.5.2, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and the Loan to Value Ratio (as determined by Lender in its sole discretion using any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and excluding the value of personal property and going concern value) exceeds 125% immediately after the release of the applicable Individual Property, no release will be permitted unless the principal balance of the Loan is paid down by the greater of (i) the Adjusted Release Amount and (ii) an amount such that the Loan to Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) after the release of the applicable Individual Property is not greater than 125% immediately after the release of the applicable Individual Property, unless Xxxxxx receives an opinion of counsel that, if this clause (ii) is not followed, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the release of the applicable Individual Property.
57
(q) If Borrower effectuates a Partial Release of the Old Mill Road Property while the Main Street Property remains subject to the lien of the Security Instrument, then, as a condition to the Partial Release of the Old Mill Road Property, Borrower shall enter into and record a reciprocal easement agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, among other things grants ingress and egress rights and easements for parking and access that provide the Main Street Property with ingress, egress, parking and access comparable to that existing as of the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5.2, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that after the Securitization of the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein), with respect to any Lender approval or similar discretionary rights over any matters contained in this Section 2.5.2, such rights shall be construed such that Lender shall only be permitted to withhold its consent or approval with respect to any such matters if the same fails to meet the Prudent Lender Standard.
Section 2.6 Clearing Account/Cash Management.
2.6.1 Clearing Account.
(a) During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall establish and maintain an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) with Clearing Bank for the benefit of Lender, which Clearing Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Subject to Section 2.5.2(e), the Clearing Account shall be entitled in the name of ARC AMWCHKS001, LLC Et. Al. for the benefit of Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority security interest in the Clearing Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and shall take all actions reasonably necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Clearing Account, including (at Xxxxxx’s request) filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Clearing Account. All actual, reasonable costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Clearing Account shall be paid by Xxxxxxxx. All monies on deposit in the Clearing Account shall be deemed additional security for the Debt. The Clearing Account Agreement and Clearing Account shall remain in effect until the Loan has been repaid in full.
(b) Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, (i) within ten (10) days of the Closing Date with respect to Leases in existence on the date hereof and (ii) simultaneously with the execution of any Lease entered into after the date hereof, deliver Tenant Direction Letters to all Tenants, directing such Tenants to deliver all Rents payable under their respective Leases directly to the Clearing Account. Without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx (except in connection with the delivery to Tenants of a Released Property following satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.5.2 with respect to such Released Property), neither Borrower nor Manager shall (i) terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Tenant Direction Letter in any manner or (ii) direct or cause any Tenant to pay any amount in any manner other than as provided in the Tenant Direction Letter. Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, deposit all amounts received by Borrower or Manager constituting Rents into the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof. Until so deposited, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager. Notwithstanding the foregoing terms of this Section 2.6.1 or anything to the contrary in the other Loan Documents (including the Cash Management Agreement), and without limiting Borrower’s obligation to cause all amounts received by Borrower or Manager constituting Rents to be deposited into the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof, Borrower shall not be required to send Tenant Direction Letters to the Tenants that use VersaPay to pay their Rent, provided that Borrower shall (using VersaPay) direct all such Rent to the Clearing Account.
58
(c) The Clearing Account Agreement shall provide that Clearing Bank shall transfer on each Business Day all amounts on deposit in the Clearing Account at the direction of Borrower (including a transfer to Borrower) unless a Cash Sweep Period is in effect, in which case such funds shall be transferred to the Cash Management Account.
(d) During the continuance of an Event of Default or any Bankruptcy Action of Borrower, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in the Clearing Account to the payment of the Debt in any order in its discretion. Upon cessation (or waiver) of such Event of Default or Bankruptcy Action, all such funds (to the extent same have not been applied to the Debt) shall be returned to the Clearing Account.
(e) The Clearing Account shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower, Manager or Clearing Bank.
(f) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Clearing Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(g) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, and demands, and actual out-of-pocket liabilities, losses, damages (excluding, consequential, punitive, special, exemplary and indirect damages, except to the extent such damages are actually paid or payable to a third-party), obligations and reasonable, actual costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Clearing Account or the Clearing Account Agreement (unless arising from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender).
59
(h) Upon (i) Clearing Bank ceasing to be an Eligible Institution or, with respect to KeyBank, if KeyBank is downgraded below BBB by S&P or the equivalent by another Rating Agency, (ii) the Clearing Account ceasing to be an Eligible Account, (iii) any resignation by Clearing Bank or termination of the Clearing Account Agreement in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof or (iv) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s written request, (A) terminate the existing Clearing Account Agreement, (B) appoint a new Clearing Bank (which such Clearing Bank shall (I) be an Eligible Institution, (II) other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Xxxxxxxx and approved by Lender and (III) during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Lender), (C) cause such Clearing Bank to open a new Clearing Account (which such account shall be an Eligible Account) and enter into a new Clearing Account Agreement with Lender on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous Clearing Account Agreement and (D) send any notices required pursuant to the terms hereof relating to such new Clearing Account Agreement and Clearing Account and new Tenant Direction Letters.
2.6.2 Cash Management Account.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event, a segregated Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) shall be established and maintained with Deposit Bank in Borrower’s name for the benefit of Lender, which Cash Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and shall take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account, including, at Xxxxxx’s request, filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and all reasonable costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.
(b) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(c) All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account during the continuance of an Event of Default or any Bankruptcy Action of Borrower may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine. Upon cessation (or waiver) of such Event of Default or Bankruptcy Action, all such funds (to the extent same have not been applied to the Debt) shall be returned to the Clearing Account.
(d) Xxxxxxxx hereby agrees that Lender may, at no cost or expense of Borrower, modify the Cash Management Agreement for the sole purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower.
60
2.6.3 Payments Received under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, during a Cash Sweep Period, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to this Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.
ARTICLE III. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
ARTICLE IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. Borrower (as to itself and not as to all Borrowers, as the context may require) represents and warrants as of the date hereof that:
4.1.1 Organization. Each Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own the applicable Individual Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Individual Property is located and each other jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all material rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the applicable Individual Property and activities incidental thereto and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the applicable Individual Property. As of the Closing Date, direct and indirect ownership interests in Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III. The direct and indirect ownership interests in Borrower or the Property do not include any Prohibited Entity/Ownership Structure.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Xxxxxxxx has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Xxxxxxxx will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of the Property or Borrower’s assets is subject, nor, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
61
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, arbitrations, or governmental investigations by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending, filed, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or the Property or any portion thereof, which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect (a) title to the Property or any portion thereof; (b) the validity or enforceability of the Security Instruments; (c) Xxxxxxxx’s ability to perform under the Loan; (d) Guarantor’s ability to perform under the Guaranty; (e) the use, operation or value of the Property or any portion thereof; (f) the principal benefit of the security intended to be provided by the Loan Documents; (g) the current ability of the Property to generate Net Cash Flow sufficient to service the Loan; or (h) the current principal use of the Property or any portion thereof.
4.1.5 Agreements. Other than any exceptions reflected on the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property (or any portion thereof), or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property (or any portion thereof) is bound. Borrower has no Indebtedness under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other written agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property (or any portion thereof) is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business or the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as may be expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (or any portion thereof) as currently used or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. To the best of Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, each Security Instrument, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To the best of Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
62
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Xxxxxxxx’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Person Controlling Borrower in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any Person Controlling Borrower in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its Persons Controlling Borrower are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially and adversely affects, or, based on Borrower’s reasonable determination, would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower (provided that the foregoing is meant to relate specifically to Borrower and the Property and not, by way of example only, to the economy of the United States or the location of the Property or the medical profession).
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which, as of the date hereof, prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the exercise by Xxxxxx of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
63
4.1.10 Compliance. Except as disclosed in the separate zoning report for each Individual Property delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and each Individual Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Xxxxxxxx’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Xxxxxxxx’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Except as disclosed in the separate property condition report or zoning report for each Individual Property delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, the Improvements at each Individual Property were in material compliance with applicable law on the Closing Date.
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) except for financial data with respect to dates prior to the date Borrower acquired title to the applicable Individual Property, accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower and the Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Property (or any portion thereof) or the current operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12 Condemnation.

From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Security Instrument encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower (as to itself and not as to all Borrowers, as the context may require) hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
72
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits, authorizations, and franchises and comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property, including all regulations, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy. Borrower has never, and shall not in the future, commit, and Borrower shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property shall commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep each Individual Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents. Borrower shall keep each Individual Property insured, or shall cause each Individual Property to be insured, at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Legal Requirements and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Legal Requirements if such violation would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Borrowers or the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the applicable Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the applicable Individual Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the applicable Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the date the same shall become delinquent; provided, however, Xxxxxxxx’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Upon Xxxxxx’s written request therefor from time to time, Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date same shall become delinquent (provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Except for any Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower shall not suffer and shall cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall pay for all utility services provided to the Property prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; and (v) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Xxxxxx, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Xxxxxx to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Security Instrument being primed by any related Lien.
73
5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened in writing against Borrower or Guarantor which would reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect Borrowers’ or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.

Subject to the rights of tenants, Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Property or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice.

5.1.5 Notice of Material Adverse Change. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse change in Borrower’s or Guarantor’s condition, financial or otherwise of which Borrower has knowledge; provided, however, that this Section 5.1.5 shall not apply so long as the REIT remains subject to filing periodic reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (i.e., Forms 10-K, 10Q and 8-K) and the REIT remains in Control of Borrower.

(a) permit Lender to inspect at Borrower’s offices all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument in Borrower’s possession or readily available to it at no material out-of-pocket cost (subject, however, with respect to those which are by their nature confidential or subject to a privilege of confidentiality, to Lender’s delivery of a confidentiality agreement acceptable to Lender in it’s reasonable discretion) required to be furnished by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or which are reasonably requested by Xxxxxx in connection therewith;
(b) execute and deliver to Lender such customary documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other customary acts necessary, to evidence, preserve or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require; and

(g) For the partial year period commencing on the date hereof, and for each Fiscal Year thereafter, Xxxxxxxx shall submit to Lender a draft Annual Budget not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If a Cash Sweep Period exists, the Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s written approval (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”), not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed written description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget.

(h) If Borrower must incur an extraordinary operating expense or capital expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Xxxxxx’s approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Xxxxxx’s approval of an Extraordinary Expense shall be deemed given if the first correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting such approval contains a conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE. IF YOU FAIL TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE SUCH EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE IN WRITING WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS, XXXXXXXX MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE”, and any customary information and documents in Borrower’s possession reasonably requested by Xxxxxx in writing prior to the expiration of such seven (7) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered to Lender and, if Xxxxxx fails to approve or disapprove in writing within the seven (7) Business Day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from Borrower in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” requesting approval containing a conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE.

All such work shall be conducted by licensed and reputable contractors pursuant to written plans approved by the agency or authority in question (if applicable), under proper permits and licenses (if applicable) with such insurance coverage as is customarily maintained by prudent property owners in similar situations. If the cost of the work exceeds $1,000,000, then Lender shall have the right of prior approval over the environmental contractor and plans, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses of the remedial work shall be promptly paid by Xxxxxxxx. In the event Xxxxxxxx fails to undertake the remedial work, or fails to complete the same within a reasonable time period after the same is undertaken, and if Lender is of the good faith opinion that Xxxxxx’s security in the applicable Individual Property is jeopardized thereby, then Lender shall have the right to undertake or complete the remedial work itself.

Upon written request by Xxxxxx, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Major Leases not previously delivered to Lender. Borrower shall not be required to obtain Lender’s prior written approval for, nor provide Lender notice or copies of, any Leases (or any alterations, modifications, changes, extensions, terminations, expansions, renewals or supplements thereof) that are not Major Leases. All renewals of existing Leases and all proposed new Leases shall provide for rental rates (to the extent not already set forth in the Lease) comparable to existing local market rates for similar properties. All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms. All new Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to any loan documents encumbering the Individual Property subject to such Lease(s); provided, however, such subordination may be contingent upon the execution of a subordination and non-disturbance agreement. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce and may amend or terminate the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property (or any portion thereof) involved; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits or first month’s Rent in connection with a new Lease); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; provided, however that (notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents) Borrower shall not be required to obtain Lender’s prior written approval for, nor provide Lender notice or copies of, any Lease, or any alterations, modifications, changes, extensions, terminations, expansions, renewals or supplements of or to any Lease, in each case, that is not a Major Lease; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require, provided that same do not increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under such Leases or the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all new Leases and all amendments, modifications, extensions, and renewals of existing Leases with Tenants that are Affiliates of Borrower shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not be permitted to terminate or accept a surrender any Major Lease without the prior written consent of Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx agrees to enter into a subordination, non-disturbance agreement with tenants with respect to any Lease in a form substantially similar to the subordination, non-disturbance agreements entered into in connection with the closing of the Loan. Borrower shall deliver to Lender written notice of any Tenant event of default (after expiration of any notice and cure periods) under a Major Lease promptly following Borrower obtaining actual knowledge of the same.
85
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender’s prior approval is required for any Major Lease (or any modification or other matter with respect to such Major Lease requiring Lender’s approval under this Section 5.1.20), such approval shall be deemed given if the first correspondence from Borrower to Xxxxxx requesting such approval contains a conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A MAJOR LEASE. IF YOU FAIL TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE SUCH MAJOR LEASE IN WRITING WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS, XXXXXXXX MAY DELIVER A DEEMED APPROVAL NOTICE”, and any customary information and documents in Borrower’s possession reasonably requested by Xxxxxx in writing prior to the expiration of such seven (7) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered to Lender and, if Lender fails to approve or disapprove such Major Lease within the seven (7) Business Day period, a second notice is delivered to Lender from Borrower in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” requesting approval containing a conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “THIS IS A REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF A MAJOR LEASE. IF YOU FAIL TO APPROVE OR DISAPPROVE SUCH MAJOR LEASE IN WRITING WITHIN THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN” and Lender fails to approve or disapprove such Major Lease within the three (3) Business Day period.

Borrower shall obtain Xxxxxx’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, Xxxxxx’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alteration performed by or on behalf of any Tenant, subtenant or licensee that does not require the consent of Borrower (as landlord) under the applicable Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or the value of any Individual Property, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to or in accordance with the terms of any Lease executed on or before the date hereof (or, after the date hereof, which are approved or deemed approved or which do not require Lender approval hereunder), (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to or in accordance with the terms and provisions of a Lease and not materially and adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements (unless the Tenant is obligated to maintain or repair any structural components of any Improvements pursuant to its Lease), (c) alterations performed in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (d) alterations required to comply with Legal Requirements or the terms of the Loan Documents or (e) alterations the aggregate cost of which is less than the Threshold Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 5.1.21, Xxxxxx’s consent shall not be required in connection with the FCA Fire Protection Work. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable by Borrower with respect to alterations to the Improvements with respect to an Individual Property or any portion thereof (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases or paid with insurance or condemnation proceeds or reserves established pursuant to the Loan Documents) shall at any time exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating reasonably acceptable to Lender and that, at Lender’s option (if a Securitization has occurred), the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization or (D) a completion and performance bond or an irrevocable Letter of Credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or Letter of Credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is reasonably acceptable to Lender and that, at Xxxxxx’s option (if a Securitization has occurred), the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or class thereof in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (or any portion thereof) by Borrower (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations. Lender shall return such security to Borrower when the remaining cost for the applicable alteration triggering the security is reduced below the Threshold.

(xi) Prior to any release of Guarantor, one (1) or more substitute guarantors reasonably acceptable to Lender shall have assumed all of the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor under the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity executed by Guarantor or execute a replacement guaranty and environmental indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Lender; with the understanding that a substitute guarantor that qualifies as a Qualified Replacement Guarantor will be acceptable to Lender.

In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements or Personal Property is currently or at any time in the future located in an area identified by (A) the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Federal Register as an area having special flood hazards and/or (B) the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards (“SFHA”) pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”) flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to (1) the maximum limit of coverage available for the Individual Property, under the Flood Insurance Acts plus (2) such greater amounts as Lender shall require with deductibles no greater than the maximum limit of coverage available under the Flood Insurance Acts, and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (but in any event, in an amount not less than 150% of the “probable maximum loss”) of the Individual Property plus business income, in the event the applicable Individual Property is located in seismic zone 3 or 4 and the PML/SEL of the Property, as determined by an engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender, is 20% or greater (based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance), provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);
101
(ii) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsections 6.1(a) (i), (iii), (iv) and (x)herein; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from the operation of the applicable Individual Property (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of casualty; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of 365 days from the date that the applicable Individual Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such business income or rental loss 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 income from the applicable Individual Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6.1 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Xxxxxx as additional reserves hereunder pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and, in the event that the proceeds of such business income or rental loss insurance are paid in a lump sum in advance, in the absence of an Event of Default, Lender shall disburse a portion thereof (calculated based upon aggregate amount of such proceeds divided by the number of Payment Dates occurring during the time period reasonably determined by Lender to be required to restore the damage caused by the related casualty) on each Payment Date to the Clearing Account; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
102
(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the applicable Individual Property property and liability coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) commercial general liability and umbrella/excess liability insurance, covering claims related to the structural construction, repairs or alterations being made at such Individual Property which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability and umbrella/excess liability insurance policies and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the applicable Individual Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(viii) umbrella and excess liability insurance in a combined amount not less than $100,000,000.00 per occurrence, on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, including without limitation supplemental coverage for employer liability, if applicable, and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of such supplemental coverages in clauses (vi) and (vii) above;
(ix) intentionally omitted;
(x) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (viii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism (as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, or its subsequent extensions or reauthorizations, or replacement act), on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii), (v) and (viii) above at all times during the term of the Loan; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two (2) times the amount of the Insurance Premiums that are payable in respect of the property and rental loss and/or business income insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism, earthquake components and catastrophic premium surcharges of such property and rental loss and/or business income insurance) on the date of this Agreement, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount; and
(xi) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other insurance, including without limitation sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the applicable Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
104
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to form and substance including without limitation insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies approved to do business in the State and having a rating of “A-:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a portion of the coverage required hereunder with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (“Otherwise Rated Insurers”) in their current participation amounts and positions within the syndicate provided that (1) if the Loan is part of a Secondary Market Transaction where S&P rates any of the issued securities or classes of certificates in connection with such Securitization, Borrower shall replace the Otherwise Rated Insurers at renewal with insurance companies meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove and/or (2) if, prior to renewal, the current AM Best rating of any such Otherwise Rated Insurer is withdrawn or downgraded, Borrower shall replace any Otherwise Rated Insurer with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (and, upon the written request of Lender, copies of such Policies) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any proposed or actual modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies pursuant to Section 6.1(e) hereof.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Lender’s approval and shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the applicable Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”). To the extent that the Policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth in Section 6.1(a)(x) for the Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis. Lender shall determine 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. Any material changes to such blanket policies, or an aggregation of the insured values covered under such blanket policies, including but not limited to the reduction or erosion of windstorm / named storm and, if required, flood and earthquake limits, or the addition of locations that are subject to the perils of windstorm / named storm and, if required, flood and earthquake, shall be subject to Lender’s review and approval and confirmation from the applicable Rating Agencies that such material change to the blanket policy shall not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings then assigned to the Securities from each applicable Rating Agency (which shall be provided at such Rating Agency’s sole discretion). Upon request, Borrower shall provide to Lender such information as requested by Lender, which shall include a Probable Maximum Loss (PML) report(s) for named storm and earthquake in form and substance acceptable to Lender.
105
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall name Borrower as a named insured, and with respect to liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vi) and (vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including without limitation terrorism, boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown, loss of rents/business income, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Xxxxxx providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. All Policies shall include a waiver of subrogation in favor of Xxxxxx when permitted by law.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) With respect to the Policies of property insurance, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that 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, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Xxxxxx, except at least ten (10) days written notice to Lender for non-payment of premiums;
(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 to take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the applicable Individual Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate after five (5) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender reasonably deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. 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 Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of any transfer of title to the Property in connection with a foreclosure, or similar action, of a Security Instrument, 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 Lender, the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such foreclosure or other transfer of title.
(h) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 6.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”); provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have (1) received Lender’s prior written consent thereto and (2) confirmed that Xxxxxx received confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such Non-Conforming Policy shall not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the ratings then assigned to the Securities from each applicable Rating Agency. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby reserves the right to deny its consent to any Non-Conforming Policy regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to the same on any prior occasion.
106
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender as soon as reasonably practicable after Borrower becomes aware of such Casualty and shall promptly commence or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property (or any portion thereof) as reasonably practicable after Xxxxxxxx becomes aware of such Condemnation and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Xxxxxxxx shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it 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 taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Xxxxxx, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of any Individual Property is taken by a condemning authority, Xxxxxxxx shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the applicable Individual 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.
107
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $500,000, Lender shall permit such amount to be paid directly to Borrower and shall waive the requirement for Lender to be named as “loss payee” with respect to such payment. If the Net Proceeds shall be $500,000 or greater, but less than the Availability Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Availability Threshold, the Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.4(b)(i)(A), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), and (I) hereof are met and Xxxxxxxx delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold, and provided that such Restoration is permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 means: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (ix) (excluding in the case of such item (ix), any such insurance proceeds payable to third parties for liability or tort claims) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met (or waived in writing by Lender or Servicer):

108
(C) Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, shall make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto (utilizing the Net Proceeds and any applicable Net Proceeds Deficiency), and (1) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation; provided, however, this clause shall not apply if any Leases were naturally expiring by their terms during the period of Restoration, (2) Lender is satisfied in its reasonable judgment that the net operating income for the Individual Property will be equal to or greater than that which exists prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii), or (3) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is reasonably expected to be 1.75:1.00 or greater after the Restoration; provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to satisfy the foregoing test in this Section 6.4(b)(i)(C) by prepaying, in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.3.1 hereof, a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount sufficient to cause such Debt Service Coverage Ratio test to be satisfied. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” means (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%);
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than one hundred twenty (120) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion (for the purposes of this clause the filing of an application for a building permit in accordance with all Legal Requirements shall be deemed to be commencement of the Restoration provided Borrower diligently pursues obtaining such permit and promptly commences the physical Restoration following the issuance of the building permit);
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled Monthly Debt Service Payment Amounts, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease or Property Document related to the Individual Property which suffered the Casualty or Condemnation, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
109
(G) the Restoration is permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and Property Documents, subject to any existing non-conforming status that is not prohibited in relation to the Restoration;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the permanent loss of access to the applicable Individual Property or the Improvements;
(J) the applicable Property Documents will remain in full force and effect during and after the Restoration and a Property Document Event shall not occur as a result of the applicable Casualty, Condemnation and/or Restoration;
(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lendxx x xigned detailed budget approved in writing by Borrxxxx’x architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lendxx’x approval; and
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent (including any Letter of Credit) deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lendxx’x reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lendxx xx, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the applicable Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the applicable Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, in all respects by Lendxx xxx by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lendxx (xxe “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lendxx xxx the Casualty Consultant, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including reasonable outside counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
110
(iv) 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, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” means 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 until the Restoration is fifty percent (50%) complete and five percent (5%) thereafter. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably 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 shall release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lendxx xx by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lendxx xxxeives evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender evidencing that the applicable Title Insurance Policy continues to insure the priority of the lien of the applicable Security Instrument over any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien related to the Restoration. 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.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
111
(vii) Provided no continuing Event of Default shall then exist, after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender shall be (1) if a Cash Sweep Period then exists, deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, and (2) if no Cash Sweep Period then exists, disbursed to Borrower.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.3.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its reasonable 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 approve, in its reasonable discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property (or any portion thereof) in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property 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.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if Lender applies any Net Proceeds to the repayment of the Debt and such Net Proceeds are not sufficient to obtain the release of the Individual Property subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, Borrower may, in its sole discretion, repay a portion of the Loan in an amount equal to the difference between the applicable Adjusted Release Amount and the Net Proceeds applied to repay the Loan, and satisfy all of the other conditions for Partial Release contained in Section 2.5.2 of this Agreement, Lender shall release the lien of the Security Instrument from the applicable Individual Property, and no Yield Maintenance Premium or similar sum shall be due in connection therewith.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, with respect to a Casualty or a Condemnation, for so long as the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a Securitization, if the loan to value ratio (such value to be determined by the Lender in its sole discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method using only the portion of the Property which constitutes acceptable real estate collateral under the Code for a REMIC Trust) immediately after such Condemnation or Casualty, as the case may be, and prior to any Restoration (but taking into account any planned Restoration of the Property as if such planned Restoration were completed) is more than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (and no Yield Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection therewith), in order to meet the foregoing loan to value ratio unless Borrower delivers to Lender an opinion of counsel, acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, that if such amount is not paid, such Securitization will not fail to meet applicable federal income tax qualification requirements or subject such Securitization to tax; provided, however, that if the immediately preceding provisions are no longer applicable under legal requirements relating to a REMIC Trust, Borrower shall comply with all legal requirements relating to a Casualty or Condemnation then in effect.

In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a completed Partial Release, upon Borrxxxx’x written request, Lendxx xxxll recalculate the monthly deposit required pursuant to (B) above taking into account the Individual Properties securing the Loan following such completed Partial Release and the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months with respect to such Individual Properties.
113
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums for an Individual Property into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as:
(i) Borrower maintains blanket policies of insurance in accordance with Section 6.1 hereof, unless Lender elects to require such deposits of Insurance Premiums following (1) the issuance by any insurer or its agent of any notice of cancellation, termination, or lapse of any insurance coverage required under Section 6.1 hereof, (2) any cancellation, termination, or lapse of any insurance coverage required under Section 6.1 hereof whether or not any notice is issued, (3) Lender having not received from Borrower evidence of insurance coverages as required by and in accordance with the terms of Section 6.1 hereof, or (4) the occurrence of any Event of Default; or

If any condition in the preceding sentence has not been satisfied, Borrower shall be required to commence making monthly deposits with respect solely to the applicable Individual Property for Insurance Premiums in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.2.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lender shall waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits for the payment of Taxes and Other Charges for an Individual Property into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) such Individual Property is leased to a single Tenant, (iii) the Tenant at such Individual Property occupies one or more entire tax parcel(s) and is required pursuant to the applicable Lease to pay all Taxes and Other Charges due with respect to the Individual Property directly to the applicable taxing authorities and actually does pay such Taxes and Other Charges directly, (iv) Borrower provides to Lender satisfactory evidence on an ongoing basis of payment of Taxes and Other Charges with respect to such Individual Property prior to the date such Taxes and Other Charges become delinquent, (v) the Lease at such Individual Property is in full force and effect and there is no default thereunder and (vi) no Cash Sweep Period is in effect. If any condition in the preceding sentence has not been satisfied, Borrower shall be required to commence making monthly deposits with respect solely to the applicable Individual Property for Taxes and Other Charges in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.2.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Xxxxxxxx agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, subject to applicable law, (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instruments have been foreclosed, sold or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Xxxxxxxx and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its 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 one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.
128
(c) If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right 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 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 Xxxxxx, 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; provided, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, that Borrower shall not be required to execute and deliver Severed Loan Documents which increase Borrower’s obligations and/or liabilities under the Loan Documents or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or Severed Loan Documents, other than to a de minimum extent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Xxxxxx of Xxxxxx’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date and no Severed Loan Documents shall increase in any manner Borrower’s obligations, decrease Borrower’s rights or modify in a manner adverse to Borrower any financial obligations of Borrower.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. 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. Xxxxxx’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Xxxxxx’s 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.

The transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as a “Securitization”. Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”.
(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Securitizations, including, without limitation, to:
(i) provide (A) updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, and Manager, (B) updated budgets relating to the Property, and (C) updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies (provided, however, to the extent such updated information relates to a Tenant, Xxxxxxxx’s obligation shall be limited to enforcing Borrower’s rights under the applicable Leases and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such information in connection therewith);
(ii) provide new and/or updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Xxxxxx, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to substantive non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, matters of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies, true sale, true lease and any other opinion customary in Securitizations or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property, applicable Property Documents, Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies;
130
(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Securitization, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require; and

(c) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender from time to time such financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary, advisable or appropriate for complying with any applicable legal requirements (including those applicable to Lender or any Servicer (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, Regulation AB)) within the timeframes necessary, advisable or appropriate in order to comply with such legal requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Loan is included in a Securitization that is subject to the disclosure requirements of Regulation AB, Lender shall provide Borrower prompt written notification thereof and thereafter Borrower shall furnish, or cause to be furnished, via email or regular mail deposited with the US Postal Service, to Lender: (i) on or before the day that is forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of the first, second and third calendar quarters, the estimated Net Operating Income for the Property for the most recent calendar quarter; and (ii) on or before the day that is seventy-five (75) calendar days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the estimated Net Operating Income for the Property for the most recent Fiscal Year.
131
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, following the Closing Date (i) all costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx, its successors, assigns or Affiliates in connection with this Section 9.1 and Sections 5.1.18, 9.2(c), 9.7 and 10.29, including in connection with any Securitization and any exercise of a Mezzanine Option (collectively, the “Securitization/Loan Component Provisions”) shall be paid by Xxxxxx, its successors, assigns or Affiliates, and (ii) all reasonable third-party costs and expenses (including legal fees and expenses) and any taxes (such as transfer taxes or controlling interest taxes resulting from the creation of additional ownership entities within the organizational structure of Borrower pursuant to the terms of Section 9.7 hereof) incurred by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s or Guarantor’s compliance with their obligations, or requests made by Lender, under the Securitization/Loan Component Provisions shall be paid by Lender; provided, however, Borrower shall be responsible for Borrower’s and Guarantor’s legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with such compliance up to the amount of $20,000 (in the aggregate between the Closing Date and Maturity Date), and Xxxxxx shall reimburse Borrower for any legal fees and expenses in excess of that amount. Nothing in the preceding sentence, however, shall limit Borrower’s obligations to pay any costs and expenses (or be deemed to require Lender to pay or reimburse Borrower for any costs and expenses) which are otherwise the responsibility of Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents (other than the Securitization/Loan Component Provisions). Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the $20,000 cap described above shall not be applicable to, and Borrower shall be obligated to pay (1) all costs and expenses of Lender and its successors, assigns or Affiliates described in clause (i) above, solely to the extent the same were incurred prior to the Closing Date and are set forth on the closing/settlement statement (approved by Borrower and Lender on or prior to the Closing Date) as a Borrower obligation, and (2) any costs and expenses of Borrower or Guarantor under clause (ii) above to the extent incurred prior to the Closing Date.
Section 9.2 Disclosure.
(a) Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party) understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, any other Borrower Party and/or their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be (i) included in (A) the Disclosure Documents and (B) filings under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act and (ii) made available to Investors, the Rating Agencies and service providers, in each case, in connection with any Securitization.
(b) Subject to Section 9.3 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender and/or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and/or affiliates may become subject in connection with (x) any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that such indemnification obligation does not specifically relate to a comment made with respect to any applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information which Lender failed to accept in substance) and (y) after a Securitization, any indemnity obligations incurred by Lender or Servicer in connection with any required confirmation from the applicable Rating Agencies.
132
(c) Borrower and Guarantor agree to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Xxxxxx and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager, Guarantor and all other aspects of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender. (“Lender Affiliate”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Lender Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and Lender Affiliate, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender Affiliate or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that such indemnification obligation does not specifically relate to a comment made with respect to any applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information which Lender failed to accept in substance) and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Xxxxxx, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to (but not in duplication of) any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(d) In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, Borrower, and Guarantor agree to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that such indemnification obligation does not specifically relate to a comment made with respect to any applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information which Lender failed to accept in substance) and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Xxxxxx, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
133
(e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party). In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel xxxxxxxxxxxx to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. Failure by Borrower and/or any Borrower Party to comply with the provisions of Section 9.1 and/or Section 9.2 within the timeframes specified therein and/or as otherwise required by Lender shall, at Xxxxxx’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default. Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Borrower Party) hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to take any actions required of any Borrower Party under Sections 9.1, 9.2 and/or 9.7 in the event any Borrower Party fails to do the same, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) except as may otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Article 9, each Borrower Party shall bear its own cost of compliance with this Article (including, without limitation, the costs of any ongoing financial reporting or similar provisions contained herein) and (ii) to the extent that the timeframes for compliance with such ongoing financial reporting and similar provisions are shorter than the timeframes allowed for comparable reporting obligations under Section 5.1.11 hereof (if any), the timeframes under this Article 9 shall control.
134

(a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or any officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, principal, employee of Borrower or any direct or indirect owner of Borrower (provided that the foregoing shall not limit in any manner, the liability of any Guarantor), except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property (or any portion thereof), the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty, indemnity or similar agreement or undertaking made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Security Instrument and any other Loan Documents; or (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Security Instrument (if required by applicable law and provided such deficiency judgment is not enforced personally against Borrower or any officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, principal, employee of Borrower or any direct or indirect owner of Borrower (excluding Guarantor under the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity, as applicable)) or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property (or any portion thereof).

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower or Guarantor;
(iii) arson or any intentional material physical waste of the Property, provided, however, that if Borrower does not have sufficient cash flow on a current basis to prevent waste, any waste shall not be deemed intentional and Borrower shall have no liability under this clause (iii);

(vii) failure to maintain insurance or to pay taxes and assessments, or to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges or judgments that can create Liens on any portion of the Property (unless Lender is escrowing funds therefor and fails to make such payments or has taken possession of the Property following an Event of Default, has received all Rents from the Property applicable to the period for which such insurance, taxes or other items are due, and thereafter fails to make such payments), it being acknowledged that if Borrower does not have sufficient cash flow on a current basis to maintain insurance or to pay taxes and assessments or to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges or judgments (unless such charges were incurred following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) that create Liens on any portion of the Property, Borrower shall have no liability under this clause (vii);
(viii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were (A) applied or returned to Tenants in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof or (B) previously delivered to Lender to be applied to repay the Loan;

Notwithstanding the forgoing, following the transfer of the Note to a Securitization, the Servicer for such Securitization to which the Note is transferred shall be deemed the agent of the holder(s) of the Note, and such Servicer shall be Borrower’s point of contact in connection with all matters related to the administration, servicing and payment of the Loan.
Section 9.7 Mezzanine Financing. Lender shall have the right at any time to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and one or more mezzanine loans (the “Mezzanine Loan(s)”). The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, the Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to the Mezzanine Borrower(s); Mezzanine Borrower(s) will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) to Borrower and Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
140
(a) Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan(s) and the Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), (ii) the initial weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall initially on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) and (iii) the initial debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Mezzanine Loan note(s) shall initially on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s). The Mezzanine Loan(s) will be made pursuant to Lender’s standard mezzanine loan documents (as such documents may be revised as a result of reasonable negotiation). The Mezzanine Loan(s) will be subordinate to the Mortgage Loan and will be governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement between the holders of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s).
(b) The borrower(s) under the Mezzanine Loan(s) (“Mezzanine Borrower(s)”) shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and otherwise acceptable to Lender that shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Borrower. The direct equity holder(s) of Mezzanine Borrower(s) (such holder(s) the “Second Level SPE”) shall be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity pursuant to applicable Rating Agency criteria and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mezzanine Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Borrower and Mezzanine Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower, Second Level SPE and Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to divide the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and one or more Mezzanine Loan(s) and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, (i) the delivery of non-consolidation opinions; (ii) the modification of organizational documents and Loan Documents, provided that Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document or organizational documents if any such changes shall increase Borrower’s or Guarantor’s or their Affiliates’ obligations or decrease Borrower’s or Guarantor’s or their Affiliates’ rights under the Loan Documents or organizational documents (in each case, other than to a de minimis extent); (iii) authorize Lender to file any UCC-1 Financing Statements reasonably required by Lender to perfect its security interest in the collateral pledged as security for the Mezzanine Loan(s); (iv) execute such other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection with the creation of the Mezzanine Loan(s), including, without limitation, a guaranty substantially similar in form and substance to the Guaranty delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan, an environmental indemnity substantially similar in form and substance to the Environmental Indemnity delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan and a conditional assignment of management agreement substantially similar in form and substance to the Assignment of Management Agreement delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan; (v) deliver appropriate authorization, execution and enforceability opinions with respect to the Mezzanine Loan(s) and amendments to the Mortgage Loan; (vi) documents and/or instruments related to the Property Documents and (vii) deliver a “UCC-9”, “Eagle 9” or equivalent UCC title insurance policy, satisfactory to Lender, insuring the perfection and priority of the lien on the collateral pledged as security for the Mezzanine Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Mezzanine Loan have any features of “preferred equity.”
141
(d) All costs and expenses incurred by Xxxxxx, Borrower or Guarantor in connection with this Section 9.7 shall be paid in accordance with Section 9.1.1(d) hereof.

Any actual, reasonable cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
147
(b) Subject to Section 9.3, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding consequential, punitive, special, exemplary and indirect damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, or any liability for any Indemnified Liabilities specifically relating to the condition of any Individual Property to the extent arising from events first occurring from and after Lender (or its designee or transferee) takes title to the Property by foreclosure, deed-in-lieu thereof or otherwise. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(c) Separate from the Securitization costs specifically set forth in Section 9.1.1(d) hereof, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that results from an action or request of Borrower and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

(a) Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Xxxxxx will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Xxxxxx’s discretion, Xxxxxx deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

149

Lender shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Xxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx and their respective successors and assigns forever.

Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is (or will be) a person with whom Xxxxxx is restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not knowingly engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be knowingly associated with such persons.

This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterpart shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement.

Section 10.28 Intentionally Omitted.
153
Section 10.29 Xxxxxx’s Right to Unwind Cross-Collateralization/Cross-Default. Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time or in connection with a repurchase by Lender of any portion of the Loan in connection with a Securitization, to unilaterally require the release of any Individual Property or Borrower from the cross-defaulting and the cross-collateralization provisions effected pursuant to the grant of the Security Instrument from each Borrower and secured by the lien of the applicable Security Instrument. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in executing all documents as may be required in connection with splitting the Loan into two or more loans which shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower shall promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender or its designee any replacement or substitute loan agreements, promissory notes, security instruments and other loan documents, title, hazard and liability insurance policies, opinions of counsel and other documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request in order to effectuate the foregoing.
Section 10.30 Contributions and Waivers.
(a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, each individual Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each individual Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and in consideration therefor each individual Borrower shall allocate such benefits among themselves and fairly and equitably make contributions among each individual Borrower in the event any payment is made by an individual Borrower hereunder to Lender which is in excess of the amount attributable to that individual Borrower or its portion of its Individual Property (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section 10.30, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any collateral of an individual Borrower and application of proceeds of such collateral in satisfaction of such individual Borrower’s obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents).
(b) Each individual Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Debt only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any State law.
(c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among each individual Borrower in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other individual Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Debt, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section 10.30.
(d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of an individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such individual Borrower and its affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (a) such individual Borrower and (b) to the other individual Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other individual Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their interest in one or more of the Properties to secure the Debt of such individual Borrower to Lender.
154
(e) Each individual Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (A) the (i) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such individual Borrower to the total amount of Debt, multiplied by (ii) the amount of Debt paid by such Funding Borrower, or (B) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the Individual Property of such individual Borrower over the total liabilities of such individual Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions).
(f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on account of the other individual Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any individual Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section 10.30 above, that individual Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other individual Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section.
(g) Each individual Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of such individual Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing.
(h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by an individual Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.30 shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of the individual Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section 10.30 shall limit or affect in any way the obligations of any individual Borrower to Lender under the Note or any other Loan Documents.
(i) Each individual Borrower waives:
(i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other individual Borrower or any other person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Xxxxxx at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Xxxxxx’s power before proceeding against such individual Borrower;
(ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other individual Borrower, any guarantor of any other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other individual Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note and any of the other Loan Documents;
(iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other individual Borrower or any principal of any other individual Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other individual Borrower or any principal of any other individual Borrower;
155
(iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
(v) any defense based upon any failure by Xxxxxx to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Xxxxxx to perfect a lien on any collateral;
(vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind except as set forth in the Loan Documents;
(vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition any collateral to any other individual Borrower or to any other person or entity or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;
(viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including, without limitation, any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;
(ix) any defense based upon any election by Xxxxxx, in any bankruptcy proceeding, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(6)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;
(x) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xi) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;
(xii) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(xiii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Xxxxxx for any reason;
(xiv) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; and
(xv) any defense or benefit based upon an individual Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the applicable Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other individual Borrower or any such party.
156
(j) Each individual Borrower waives:
(i) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Xxxxxx even though the election of remedies, such as nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed such individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other individual Borrower;
(ii) all rights and defenses that such individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (i) Lender may, subject to Section 9.3 hereof, collect from such individual Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other individual Borrower, (ii) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other individual Borrower, (a) except as provided by applicable law, the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, (b) Lender may, subject to Section 9.3 hereof, collect from such individual Borrower even if any other individual Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such individual Borrower may have to collect from any other individual Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such individual Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and
(iii) any claim or other right which individual Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other individual Borrower or any other person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Note, the Security Instruments or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other individual Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
Section 10.31 Co-Lenders.
(a) At all times (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
(b) Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon the other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
157
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender hereby appoints Lead Lender to serve as non-fiduciary administrative agent and collateral agent for all Lenders and hereby agrees that Lead Lender shall be the sole Lender to whom payments, notices, requests and other communications shall be addressed and from whom notices, requests and communications shall be received (subject, in each case, to appointment of a Servicer, to receive such payments and send and receive such notices, requests and other communications). No Lender shall have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
(d) Bank of Montreal or an Affiliate thereof that owns a portion of the Loan shall be the initial “Lead Lender” (provided, however, that following the first securitization of any portion of the Loan, the “Lead Lender” shall mean and refer to such securitization (subject to the appointment of the servicer thereunder pursuant to the terms of the Lender Documents)), provided that at any time (i) during the continuance of an Event of Default or (ii) pursuant to the terms of any of the Lender Documents, the Lead Lender may, without the consent of Borrower or any of its Affiliates, resign or be replaced with a single Lender that is either then the sole Lender or is a Lender that has otherwise been designated as the replacement Lead Lender under the Lender Documents. Lender shall provide Borrower with notice of any resignation or replacement as described in the immediately preceding sentence within thirty (30) days following such resignation or replacement. Upon the appointment of any successor Lead Xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx, such successor Lead Xxxxxx shall succeed to and become the Lead Lender hereunder and any further resignation or replacement of any successor Lead Lender shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 10.31(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Xxxxxxxx acknowledges and agrees that if the Loan is sold by any Lender such that the Loan is held by a single Lender, then automatically, and without any further action by any such Lender, all references to Lead Lender hereunder shall be deemed to refer to such single Lender (or affiliate appointed thereby) that holds the Loan. Lender shall provide Borrower with notice of any sale as described in the immediately preceding sentence within thirty (30) days following such sale.
