The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

A natural person who otherwise satisfies the foregoing definition except for being the Independent Director of a “special purpose entity” affiliated with Borrower or SPC Party shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Director of Borrower or SPC Party if such “special purpose entity” does not own a direct or indirect equity interest in Borrower or in any co-borrower of Borrower and if such individual is an independent director provided by a nationally-recognized company that provides professional independent directors.

(u) Borrower will compensate each of its consultants and agents from its funds for services provided to it and pay from its own assets all obligations of any kind that it incurs.

(aa) Neither Borrower GP will engage in any business other than being and acting as general partner of Propco Borrower or Opco Borrower, as the case may be, and will conduct and operate its business as presently conducted.

(dd) Neither Borrower GP will form, acquire or hold any subsidiary or own any equity interest in any other entity other than Propco Borrower or Opco Borrower, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the covenants, representations or warranties set forth in this Section 3.1.24, elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall be violated by reason of the Cross Guaranty or the fact that the Borrower and Cross Borrower have obligated themselves, and encumbered their respective Properties (as defined herein and in the Cross Loan Agreement) and other assets, for the Loan and the Cross Loan, respectively.
3.1.25 Tax Filings. To the extent required, Borrower timely has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and has paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower.
3.1.26 Solvency. Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (h) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.

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 Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness 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).

In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements at any Individual Property is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Allocated Loan Amount of such Individual Property or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under 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; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event any Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under this subsection

62
operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of coverage required for business income insurance pursuant to this Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) shall be included in the coverage amounts specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(i) above. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(xi) (A) during any period of the term of the Loan that TRIA is in effect, if “acts of terrorism” or other similar acts or events are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s all risk insurance policy (including business income), Borrower shall obtain an
63
endorsement to such policy insuring against all “certified acts of terrorism” as defined by TRIA in an amount equal to the Release Amount applicable to the Individual Property with the highest then-outstanding Allocated Loan Amount.

(b) during any period of the term of the Loan that TRIA is not in effect, or the endorsement referred to in (A) above is not available, if “acts of terrorism” or other similar acts are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s all risk insurance policy or business income insurance coverage, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy or a separate policy from an insurance provider, insuring against all such excluded acts or events, to the extent such policy or endorsement is available, in an amount determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion (but in no event greater than the Release Amount applicable to the Individual Property with the highest then-outstanding Allocated Loan Amount, plus required business income coverage); provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to pay annual premiums in excess of $41,000 for such coverage. The endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and shall meet Rating Agency criteria for securitized loans; and
(xii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located, provided such insurance is generally available at commercially reasonable premiums.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Borrower shall have the right to effect the coverages required hereunder under one or more blanket insurance Policies that cover the Property as well as other properties of Borrower’s Affiliates, provided that any blanket insurance Policy shall provide substantially the same protection required hereunder in respect of the Property as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) taking into account the geographic diversity of the Property.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and Section 5.1.1(a)(x), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as
64
the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (a)(viii) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) (i) 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, upon ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(ii) The following language applies solely with respect to the Individual Property located in the State of Oregon, and shall be in lieu of the language contained in clause (i) of this Section 5.1(f): UNLESS BORROWER PROVIDES LENDER WITH EVIDENCE OF THE INSURANCE COVERAGE AS REQUIRED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE LENDER MAY PURCHASE SUCH INSURANCE AT BORROWER’S EXPENSE TO PROTECT LENDER’S INTEREST. THIS INSURANCE MAY, BUT NEED NOT, ALSO PROTECT BORROWER’S INTEREST. IF THE COLLATERAL BECOMES DAMAGED, THE COVERAGE LENDER PURCHASES MAY NOT PAY ANY CLAIM BORROWER MAKES OR ANY CLAIM MADE AGAINST BORROWER. BORROWER MAY LATER CANCEL THIS COVERAGE BY PROVIDING EVIDENCE THAT BORROWER HAS OBTAINED PROPERTY COVERAGE ELSEWHERE.
BORROWER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REASONABLE COST OF ANY SUCH INSURANCE PURCHASED BY LENDER. THE COST OF THIS INSURANCE MAY BE ADDED TO THE LOAN BALANCE. IF THIS COST IS ADDED TO THE LOAN
65
BALANCE, THE INTEREST RATE PAYABLE UNDER THE UNDERLYING LOAN WILL APPLY TO THE ADDED AMOUNT. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE COVERAGE MAY BE THE DATE BORROWER’S PRIOR COVERAGE LAPSED OR THE DATE BORROWER FAILED TO PROVIDE PROOF OF COVERAGE.
THE COVERAGE LENDER PURCHASES MAY BE CONSIDERABLY MORE EXPENSIVE THAN INSURANCE BORROWER CAN OBTAIN ON BORROWER’S OWN AND MAY NOT SATISFY ANY NEED FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OR ANY MANDATORY LIABILITY INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS IMPOSED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property 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.
5.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies permitted to do business in the State in which each Individual Property is located. For so long as five (5) or more insurance carriers are providing the Policies, at least sixty percent (60%) of such coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P with the remaining forty percent (40%) of such coverage being provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB-” or better by S&P; provided, however, with respect to the first One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) of coverage under such Policies, not more than twenty percent (20%) of such coverage shall be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating lower than “A-” by S&P (but in no event lower than “BBB-” by S&P). In the event that four (4) or fewer insurance carriers are providing the Policies, at least seventy-five percent (75%) of such coverage shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, with the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of such coverage being provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB-” or better by S&P. If a Securitization occurs, (i) the foregoing required insurance company rating by a Rating Agency not rating any Securities shall be disregarded and (ii) if the insurance company complies with the aforesaid S&P required rating (and S&P is rating the Securities) and the other Rating Agencies rating the Securities do not rate the insurance company, such insurance company shall be deemed acceptable with respect to such Rating Agency not rating such insurance company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the Policies with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (an “Otherwise Rated Insurer”), provided Borrower obtains a “cut-through” endorsement (that is, an endorsement which permits recovery against the provider of such endorsement) with respect to any Otherwise Rated Insurer from an insurance company which meets the claims paying ability ratings required above. Moreover, if Borrower desires to maintain insurance required hereunder from an insurance company which does not meet the claims paying ability ratings set forth herein but the parent of such insurance company, which owns at least fifty-one percent (51%) of such insurance company, maintains such ratings, Borrower may use such insurance companies if approved by the Rating Agencies (such approval
66
may be conditioned on items required by the Rating Agencies including a requirement that the parent guarantee the obligations of such insurance company).
5.1.3 Current Insurance. Lender hereby acknowledges that the insurance coverages under the certificates of insurance delivered to Lender in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement are currently acceptable to Lender as of the date hereof for the periods covered under the policies described in said certificates for purposes of this Section 5.1.
Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore such Individual Property to the precise condition of such Individual Property prior to such Casualty provided the Individual Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.
5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and
67
in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. If any Individual Property is sold by or on behalf of Lender subsequent to acceleration, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
5.2.3 Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Section 5.1.l(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost Rents that would have been due under Leases or Service Contracts existing on the date of such Casualty, and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases or Service Contracts that had not yet been executed and delivered at the time of such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the insurance company would have been due under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by the insurance company reflect a replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) only to the extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Sections 3.3(a)(i) through (vi) of the Cash Management Agreement. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.
Section 5.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.
5.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to any Individual Property and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
5.3.2 Major Casualty or Condemnation. (a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to any Individual Property and the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
68
(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at such Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting such Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;
(iii) The projected aggregate Gross Revenue for the Property after completion of the Restoration (as reasonably determined by Lender) shall not be reduced as a result of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation by more than twenty percent (20%) as compared to the Gross Revenue received by Borrower during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding such Casualty or Condemnation.
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds (including sums received from the proceeds of the coverage required pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a)(iii)), or (B) other funds of Borrower;
(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease covering 25% or more of the applicable Individual Property or (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable;
(vii) such Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to such Individual Property or the related Improvements (except if the same is effectively replaced).
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account (with such interest being credited to such account) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be
69
paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property arising out of the Restoration which have not been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender, discharged of record or fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy (or another reputable title company satisfactory to Lender).
(c) The Restoration shall be completed in a first class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonable practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Individual Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to such Individual Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Individual Property to the precise condition of such Individual Property prior to such Casualty provided the Individual Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(d) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by Borrower, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by Borrower, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until Borrower certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which Borrower certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has substantially completed all work in a satisfactory manner and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy (or another reputable title company satisfactory to Lender), and Lender receives an
70
endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(e) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are reasonably 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 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.
(h) Subject to Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.4.2, all Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation, if (1) any Lease of all or any portion of an Individual Property covering at least 25% of the total square footage of such Individual Property and/or any contract for services at an Individual Property (a “Service Contract”) for which the payments thereunder constitute at least 25% of the Gross Revenue generated by such Individual Property requires Borrower to restore such Individual Property after such Casualty or Condemnation, (2) no default (beyond any applicable notice and/or grace periods) shall have occurred and be continuing under such Lease or Service Contract and (3) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then Lender shall disburse the Net Proceeds or Award in accordance with the disbursement provisions specified in Section 5.3.2(b)-(g) to Borrower (without Borrower having to satisfy the conditions specified in Section 5.3.2(a)) to facilitate Borrower’s compliance therewith.

83
Party), or (ii) such Transfer, together with all other Transfers of direct or indirect interest in Borrower or any SPC Party, whether in a single Transfer or in a series of Transfers and whether or not effected simultaneously, results in a transfer of more than 49% of the aggregate ownership interests in Borrower or any SPC Party, an acceptable non-consolidation opinion is delivered to Lender and to each of the Rating Agencies concerning, as applicable, Borrower, each SPC Party, Transferee and/or their respective owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall in any way restrict or prohibit, nor shall any notice to Lender or consent of Lender or Rating Agency Confirmation (except as expressly provided below) be required in connection with (A) the transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or issuance of any ownership interests or securities in VNO, VRLP, CEI, CRE, YAA, YAP or YCI or any Public Company (or of any Persons owning an interest in any of the foregoing), (B) the merger or consolidation of VNO, VRLP, CEI, CRE, YAA, YAP or YCI or any Public Company with or into any other Person (or of any Persons owning an interest in any of the foregoing), or a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of VNO, VRLP, CEI, CRE, YAA, YAP or YCI or of any Public Company (or of any Persons owning an interest in any of the foregoing), (C) the transfer, mortgage, pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance of any ownership interests or securities in Guarantor between or among VNO, VRLP, CEI, CRE, YAA, YAP and YCI (or one or more entities owned and controlled by any one or more of the foregoing), (D) the issuance of any ownership interests or securities in Guarantor so long as Guarantor (or its permitted successor) or its direct or indirect owner is or, in connection with such issuance, becomes, a Public Company, and (E) the merger or consolidation of Guarantor or its direct or indirect owner with or into any other Person, provided that the surviving entity of such merger or consolidation or its direct or indirect owner is a Public Company; provided further that, if, after giving effect to any transaction described under clause (D) or (E), VNO, VRLP, CEI, CRE, YAA, YAP and/or YCI would own in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, less than fifty-one percent (51%) interest of Borrower or any SPC Party or would not control Borrower and each SPC Party, Borrower shall have obtained a Rating Agency Confirmation.
IX. SALE AND SECURITIZATION OF MORTGAGE
Section 9.1 Sale of Mortgage and Securitization; Loan Components; Mezzanine Loans. (a) Subject to the limitations in Section 11.27, Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof as a whole loan, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single-asset securitization or a pooled-loan securitization. The transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”. Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”.
(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to 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 Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation, to:
84
(i) (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (B) provide updated budgets relating to the Property and (C) provide updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies;
(ii) provide opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale or any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Property and Borrower and Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies;
(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction if such closing date is more than six (6) months after the date hereof, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may reasonably require, in each case, with such modifications as are necessary to make such representations and warranties true in all material respects; and
(iv) execute amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend (A) any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Note, or (B) any Loan Document or organizational document of Borrower if in the reasonable judgment of Borrower the same would modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan, increase Borrower’s obligations or liabilities thereunder in any material respect, adversely effect any right of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect or have a material adverse effect on the manner in which Borrower operates its business.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees that, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan or create one or more new mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more new mezzanine borrowers) (each a “Resizing Event”). Lender agrees that such new notes, modified notes or mezzanine notes shall immediately after the Resizing Event have the same initial weighted average interest rate as the original note immediately prior to such Resizing Event. Such new notes, modified notes or mezzanine notes may allocate principal and interest rates of the Loan between or among such new components and/or mezzanine loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion; provided that, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, all prepayments with respect to such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes shall be applied on a pro rata basis. In connection with any Resizing Event, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify and amend the Cash Management Agreement, and execute
85
amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents reasonably requested by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document or organizational document of Borrower if in the reasonable judgment of Borrower the same would increase Borrower’s monetary obligations, modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan, increase Borrower’s other obligations or liabilities thereunder in any material respect, adversely affect any right of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect or have a material adverse effect on the manner in which Borrower operates its business.
(d) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (other than the first $4,592 of legal fees) actually incurred by Borrower or its Affiliates in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender and (ii) Lender shall pay all other costs and expenses incurred by any other parties in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 9.1.
(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents shall restrict Lender from requesting that Borrower deliver to Lender information regarding tenants or customers at the Property and the impact such tenants or customers have or may have on the Gross Revenue of the Property; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to deliver specific information concerning the specific pricing structure applicable to any tenant or customer..
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering document (each, an “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 19337 as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.

86
directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and Lender, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively; the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, other than those arising out of the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of any of the foregoing proposed indemnitees (collectively, the “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 of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the 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 (except that (x) Borrower’s obligation to indemnify in respect of any information contained in such sections that is derived in part from information provided by Borrower and in part from information provided by others unrelated to or not employed by Borrower shall be limited to any untrue statement or omission of material fact therein known to Borrower that results from an error in any information provided (or which should have been provided) by Borrower which Borrower has been given the opportunity to examine and reasonably and promptly approve (Borrower hereby confirms that it has reviewed and approved each of the appraisals, engineering, environmental and asbestos reports prepared by third parties in connection with the Loan) and (y) Borrower shall have no responsibility for the failure of any member of the Underwriting Group to accurately transcribe written information supplied by Borrower or the refusal of any member of the Underwriting Group to include any written information supplied by Borrower after an explicit direction from Borrower to do so) and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities to the extent that such legal or other expenses are incurred in connection with matters for which Borrower has agreed to indemnify the Underwriter Group herein; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and major customer lists with respect to the Property and not subsequently retracted or modified in whole or in part so as to eliminate the misstatement or omission in question prior to any Securitization. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c) Intentionally Omitted.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the
87
indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in. circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In addition, no right of contribution may be enforced by any party who shall have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the actions or omissions that led to such liability against any party who was not guilty of such gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with the actions or omissions that led to such liability. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the applicable Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; (iii) the responsibilities and obligations of Borrower specified herein; and (iv) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 10.2 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 the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all
91
liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof, provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall contain only provisions which are substantially similar to those contained in the Loan Documents (except to reflect reductions in principal) and which do not have any material adverse effect on Borrower’s rights or obligations thereunder in any material respect or increase Borrower’s monetary obligations thereunder in any material respect or the operation of its business and any representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the date hereof.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest anchor principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the misapplication of any amounts recovered and applied by Lender in its sole discretion.
92
Section 10.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary in respect of such Event of Default. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
Section 10.4 Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
XI. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
Section 11.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender (which discretion shall be exercised in good faith) and shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefore.

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
Section 11.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 11.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the
97
extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 11.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 11.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 11.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the date hereof, (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation or otherwise upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, bad faith,
98
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender Any costs due and payable to Lender which are not paid by Borrower within ten (10) days after written demand therefore may be paid to Lender pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, directors, agents, employees (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) (the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Lender Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Lender Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnitees hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, had faith, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by any Lender Indemnitees.
Section 11.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 11.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the
99
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 Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising (other than any of the foregoing effectuated in connection with a Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan by Lender) by each of Lender or Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Borrower or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and (except in connection with a Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan) Borrower (except that no Lender approval shall be required for Borrower’s or its Affiliate’s press release, if any, in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement), which approval, in any case, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 11.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 11.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under
100
any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower and Lender each hereby represent that it has not dealt independently of the other with any financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other party harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of such party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 11.22 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (0 constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize on any security given by Borrower in connection with the Loan or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against such security which, in any event, shall only be enforced against such security; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with any of the following:
101

(vi) 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 applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(vii) Borrower’s indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2 hereof; and
(viii) intentionally omitted
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (i) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary Lien encumbering the Property; (ii) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Property or any interest therein as required by the Mortgage or this Agreement; (iii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iv) an Affiliate, officer, director, trustee, or representative which controls, directly or indirectly, Borrower files, or joins in the filing of; an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) intentionally omitted; (vi) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any
102
involuntary petition from any Person; (vii) any Affiliate, officer, director, trustee, or representative which controls Borrower consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; (viii) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due or (ix) Borrower, any SPC Party or any Borrower GP breaches any of the representations, warranties or covenants applicable to it under Section 3.1.24 and (C) if the Pasco Event occurs, (i) prior to the foreclosure by Lender of the Pasco Property or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect thereto or any other acquisition of title to the Pasco Property by Lender, in each case pursuant to an exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents, pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, the Release Amount for the Pasco Property and any and all other amounts then due, including but not limited to, the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith, shall be fully recourse to Borrower, and (ii) following the foreclosure by Lender of the Pasco Property or the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure with respect thereto or any other acquisition of title to the Pasco Property by Lender, in each case pursuant to an exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents, pursuant to a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise, the excess of (I) the Allocated Loan Amount and any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith over (II) the amount actually received by Lender upon payment of the purchase price by Simplot for the Pasco Property, shall be fully recourse to Borrower.
Section 11.24 Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement, or for the payment of any monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, subject to the express provisions contained elsewhere in this Agreement (including provisions specifying either an amount, or that no amount, should be payable), Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any customary and reasonable servicing fees charged in connection with any requests made by Borrower during the term of the Loan, including, but not limited to, approvals, consents, amendments or waivers contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise.
(b) Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
103
(c) Provided Borrower shall have been given notice of Servicer’s address by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other instruments which Borrower may or shall be required to deliver to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (and no delivery of such notices or other instruments by Borrower shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, unless the Loan is being transferred to a “special servicer” or is then being “specially serviced” (in which case Borrower may be required to deal with one primary Servicer and one “special servicer”), Borrower shall be required to deal with only one Servicer acting on behalf of all Persons comprising Lender and Cross Lender (the “primary Servicer”), with respect to any consents, approvals or notices required or permitted from, or to, Servicer, Lender or Cross Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood that such primary Servicer may need to consult with other Persons that hold a portion of Lender’s and/or Cross Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan or with the Rating Agencies in connection with any such consent, approval or notice and that a so-called “special servicer” may act as such primary Servicer). Lender may replace such primary Servicer with another primary Servicer at any time in Lender’s sole discretion. As of the date hereof, Wachovia Bank, N.A., in its capacity as servicer under a Servicing Agreement with Lender, is hereby designated as the primary Servicer and unless and until Borrower is notified by all Persons comprising Lender of a new primary Servicer, Borrower shall be permitted to rely conclusively and irrevocably on such designation.
Section 11.25 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.
Section 11.26 Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including, without limitation, the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 11.27 Assignments and Participations. (a) The Lender may assign to one or more Persons other than (as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) any Excluded Lender Transferee all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (it being agreed that the foregoing shall not apply to the holder of any Securities issued in a pooled-loan Securitization).
(b) Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons other than (as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) any Excluded Lender Transferee in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Loan Agreement (it being agreed that the foregoing shall not apply to the holder of any Securities issued in a pooled-loan Securitization); provided, however, that (i) Lender’s obligations under this Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.5, Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Lender shall

(e) Lender or an agent of Lender shall maintain a register (the “Register”) on which it will record the Loans made hereunder, and each Assignment and Acceptance and participation. The Register shall include the names and addresses of Lenders (including all assignees, successors and Participants), and the commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to each such Lender.

(g) It shall be a condition to the Securitization of any portion of the Loan and/or the Cross Loan into different securitization pools that the Loan and the Cross Loan shall be uncrossed so that an Event of Default under and as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement shall no longer be an Event of Default hereunder and that an Event of Default hereunder shall no longer be a Cross Event of Default, and that the lien of the Mortgage and the Security Agreement will no longer secure the Cross Loan pursuant to the Cross Guaranty (as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement) and the Cross Mortgage and Cross Security Agreement will no longer secure the Loan pursuant to the Cross Guaranty.
(h) It shall be a condition to the assignment of more than fifty percent (50%) of the Loan to any Person which is not an Affiliate of Lender and whereby the Loan and the
105
Cross Loan shall be majority-owned by Persons which are not Affiliates that either (i) the Loan and the Cross Loan shall be uncrossed so that an Event of Default under and as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement shall no longer be an Event of Default hereunder and that an Event of Default hereunder shall no longer be a Cross Event of Default, and that the lien of the Mortgage and the Security Agreement will no longer secure the Cross Loan pursuant to the Cross Guaranty (as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement) and the Cross Mortgage and the Cross Security Agreement will no longer secure the Loan pursuant to the Cross Guaranty or (ii) the holders of the Loan and the holders of the Cross Loan shall enter into a co-lender arrangement pursuant to which one holder of the Loan or holder of the Cross Loan shall be designated as a directing lender and shall be the Person designated to act on behalf of the Lender and the Cross Lender with respect to the Loan and shall have the sole right to receive any notices which are required to be given to the Lender, or which are required to be given by the Lender to the Borrower or any other party pursuant to this Agreement, and to exercise the rights and powers given to the Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, approval rights, primary Servicer appointment rights, and the ability to exercise rights and remedies hereunder. Promptly after entering into such co-lender arrangement, notice of the designation of a directing lender shall be delivered to Borrower, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on such designation. Such directing lender designation shall be irrevocable without Borrower’s approval unless and until a replacement directing lender is designated therefor.
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Borrower or its Affiliates in connection with Borrower’s cooperation with Lender in effecting any of the actions contemplated pursuant to either or both of clauses (g) or (h) of this Section 11.27 shall be borne by Lender.
Section 11.28 Cross Default; Cross-Collateralization. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the additional security of the collateral securing the Cross Loan and in reliance upon the aggregate of the collateral securing the Loan and the collateral securing the Cross Loan taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the collateral securing the Loan and the collateral securing the Cross Loan taken separately, and that the Mortgage and certain other Loan Documents secure both the Loan and the Cross Guaranty (as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement), and the Cross Mortgage and certain other Loan Documents (as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement) secure both the Cross Guaranty and the Cross Loan. Borrower agrees that the Loan and the Cross Loan are and will be cross-defaulted with each other so that a Cross Event of Default shall constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents which secure the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender in its sole discretion may, and in such event shall cause Cross Lender to, uncross the Loan with the Cross Loan at any time, and upon the release of the Cross Borrowers under the Cross Guaranty and the Borrowers under the Cross Guaranty (as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement), the foregoing cross-default of the Loan and the Cross Loan shall terminate and be of no further force or effect such that a Cross Event of Default shall no longer constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents and an Event of Default under the Loan Documents shall no longer constitute a Cross Event of Default under and as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement. Upon the release of the Cross Borrowers under the Cross Guaranty, and the Borrowers under the Cross Guaranty (as defined in the Cross Loan Agreement) as provided in this Section 11.28 and in Section 11-28 of the Cross Loan Agreement, Lender and Cross
106
Lender, at their sole cost and expense, with the cooperation of Borrower and its Affiliates in the Cross Loan, including Cross Borrowers, shall execute and deliver, or shall cause to be executed and delivered, such documents and instruments as are reasonably necessary and appropriate to evidence the same and to effect the release and discharge of record the lien created by each of the Mortgage and Security Agreement in favor of the Cross Lender and the Cross Mortgage and the Cross Security Agreement in favor of Lender, including but not limited to UCC-3 termination statements. For the purpose of clarity, upon the release or substitution of an Individual’ Property pursuant to this Agreement, such Individual Property shall no longer be collateral for the benefit of the Cross Lender pursuant to the Cross Guaranty Substitution. After the Closing Date, but prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may obtain a release of the Lien of a Mortgage (and the related Loan Documents) encumbering an Individual Property (a “Substituted Property”) by substituting therefor another property of like kind and quality acquired by Borrower (individually, a “Substitute Property” and collectively, the “Substitute Properties”), provided that the following conditions precedent are satisfied:
(a) Lender shall have received at least thirty (30) days prior written notice requesting the substitution and identifying the Substitute Property and the Substituted Property.
(b) The Allocated Loan Amount of the Substituted Property, when taken together with the Allocated Loan Amounts of all other Substituted Properties substituted pursuant to this Section 11.29, does not exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of the original principal balance of the Loan.
(c) After giving effect to the proposed substitution, no Event of Default shall be continuing.
(d) The Substitute Property shall not have suffered a Casualty or Condemnation which has not been fully restored.
(e) If the Loan is part of a Securitization, Lender shall have received an Appraisal of the Substitute Property, dated no more than sixty (60) days prior to the substitution date, prepared by a senior commercial appraiser of the American Appraisal Institute acceptable to the Rating Agencies.
(f) Intentionally omitted.
(g) Lender shall have received a current survey for the Substitute Property, certified to the title insurance company and Lender and their respective successors and assigns, in substantially the same form and content as the certification of the survey of the Substituted Property prepared by a professional land surveyor licensed in the state in which the Substitute Property is located and acceptable to the Rating Agencies, in accordance with the 1999 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys. Such survey shall reflect the same legal description contained in the title insurance policy relating to such Substitute Property and shall include, among other things, a metes and bounds description of the real property comprising part of such Substitute Property (unless such real property has been satisfactorily designated by lot number on a recorded plat). The surveyor’s seal shall be affixed
107
to such survey and, if customary, such survey shall certify whether any portion of the surveyed property or the improvements thereon is located in a “‘one-hundred -year flood hazard area.”
(h) Lender shall have received a Phase I environmental report acceptable to a reasonably prudent lender and, if recommended under the Phase I environmental report, a Phase II environmental report acceptable to a reasonably prudent lender, which concludes that the Substitute Property does not contain any Hazardous Substances (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) requiring remediation under any Environmental Law (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) and is not subject to any known risk of contamination from any off-site Hazardous Substance.
(i) Lender shall have received a Physical Conditions Report with respect to the Substitute Property stating that the Substitute Property is in good condition and repair and free of damage or waste. If the Physical Conditions Report recommends that any repairs be made with respect to the Substitute Property, such Physical Conditions Report shall include an estimate of the cost of such recommended repairs and, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 6.1.2, Borrower shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to one hundred fifteen percent (115%) of such estimated cost in the event such estimated cost exceeds $50,000, which deposit shall constitute “Required Repair Funds”, and shall be released to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1.
(j) Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to a reasonably prudent lender that the Substitute Property and its use comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, zoning, subdivision and building laws) and such compliance shall be confirmed by delivery to Lender of report from the Planning and Zoning Resource Corporation or such other similar consultant which in the ordinary course of its business provides zoning analyses and reports to institutional lenders.
(k) Lender shall have received valid certificates of insurance indicating that the requirements for the policies of insurance required for an Individual Property hereunder have been satisfied with respect to the Substitute Property and evidence of the payment of all premiums payable for the existing policy period (or if such Substitute Property is being added to Borrower’s existing policies, that such amounts have been escrowed with Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 6.3).
(n) After giving effect to the substitution, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Loan for the Property (excluding the Substituted Property and including the Substitute Property) is not less than the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the trailing twelve (12) full calendar months as of the date immediately preceding the substitution; provided that, Borrower shall be permitted to defease a portion of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.5.2 in order to satisfy the Debt Service Coverage Ratio test set forth in this clause (n);
108
(o) (i) The Individual Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Substitute Property is not greater than the lesser of the Individual Loan-to-Value Ratio of the Substituted Property (A) as of the Closing Date and (B) immediately prior to the substitution, which determination, with respect to (x) the Substitute Property, if based on an Appraisal pursuant to the definition of “Individual Loan-to-Value Ratio”, shall be based on the Appraisal described in clause (e) above and, (y) the Substituted Property, (I) if the determination is as of the Closing Date and is based on an Appraisal pursuant to the definition of “Individual Loan-to-Value Ratio”, shall be based on the Appraisal delivered at closing and, (II) if the determination is as of immediately prior to date of substitution and is based on an Appraisal pursuant to the definition of “Individual Loan-to-Value Ratio”, shall be based on a new Appraisal dated no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to such substitution, or, (ii) if Borrower is unable to satisfy the foregoing test, after giving effect to such substitution, the Loan-to-Value Ratio for the Property (excluding the Substituted Property and including the Substitute Property) is not greater than the lesser of (A) the Loan-to-Value Ratio as of the Closing Date, which, if based on Appraisals pursuant to the definition of “Loan-to-Value Ratio”, shall be based on the Appraisals delivered at closing, and (B) the Loan-to-Value Ratio as of the date immediately preceding such substitution, which, if based on Appraisals pursuant to the definition of “Loan-to-Value Ratio”, shall be based on Appraisals dated no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such substitution.
(p) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the substitution with respect to the Substitute Property and, if the Loan is part of a Securitization, containing any other representations and warranties with respect to the Substitute Property as the Rating Agencies may require, such certificate to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Rating Agencies.
(q) Borrower shall (i) have executed, acknowledged and delivered to Lender (A) a Mortgage, an Assignment of Leases and two UCC-1 Financing Statements with respect to the Substitute Property, together with a letter from Borrower countersigned by a title insurance company acknowledging receipt of such Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and UCC-1 Financing Statements and agreeing to record or file, as applicable, such Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and one of the UCC-1 Financing Statements in the real estate records for the county in which the Substitute Property is located and to file one of the UCC-1 Financing Statements in the office of the Secretary of State (or other central filing office) of the state of its organization, so as to effectively create upon such recording and filing valid and enforceable Liens upon the Substitute Property, of the requisite priority, in favor of Lender (or such other trustee as may be desired under local law), subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and (B) an Environmental Indemnity with respect to the Substitute Property and (ii) have caused Guarantor to acknowledge and confirm its obligations under (A) any guaranty executed and delivered by Guarantor in connection with the Loan and (B) the Environmental Indemnity. The Mortgage, Assignment of Leases, UCC-1 Financing Statements and Environmental Indemnity shall be the same in form and substance as the counterparts of such documents executed and delivered with respect to the Substituted Property subject to modifications reflecting the Substitute Property as the Individual Property that is the subject of such documents and such modifications reflecting the laws of the state in which the Substitute Property is located as shall be recommended for similar transactions by the
109
counsel admitted to practice in such state and delivering the opinion as to the enforceability of such documents required pursuant to subsection (u) below. The Mortgage encumbering the Substitute Property shall secure all amounts evidenced by the Note, provided that in the event that the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located imposes a mortgage recording, intangibles or similar tax and does not permit the allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of determining the amount of such tax payable, the principal amount secured by such Mortgage shall be equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Allocated Loan Amount of the Substitute Property. The amount of the Loan allocated to the Substitute Property (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Substitute Allocated Loan Amount”) shall equal the Allocated Loan Amount of the Substituted Property immediately prior to the substitution and the Allocated UCF Amount of the Substitute Property shall be equal to the Allocated UCF Amount of the Substituted Property immediately prior to the substitution. Further, Lender shall, in its reasonable discretion, provide an Allocated Capital Expenditure Amount for the Substitute Property, which Allocated Capital Expenditure Amount shall be equal to $0.03 per cubic foot of such Substitute Property and which, when aggregated with the Allocated Capital Expenditure Amounts of each remaining Individual Property, shall not exceed the Capital Expenditure Maximum Amount. Schedule VI will be deemed to be modified to reflect any such changes to the Allocated Loan Amount, Allocated UCF Amount and Allocated Capital Expenditure Amount for each Individual Property subsequent to a substitution.
(r) Lender shall have received (i) unless Borrower shall have elected to provide title insurance in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount as set forth in clause (A) of Section 11.29(q), a “tie-in” or similar endorsement, but only to the extent available in such jurisdiction, to each title insurance policy insuring the Lien of an existing Mortgage (which shall be tied in as of the Closing Date) with respect to such existing Mortgages and as of the date of the substitution with respect to the title insurance policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage with respect to the Substitute Property and (ii) a title insurance policy (or a marked, signed and redated commitment to issue such title insurance policy) insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Substitute Property, issued by the title company that issued the title insurance policies insuring the Lien of the existing Mortgages and dated as of the date of the substitution, with reinsurance and direct access agreements that replace such agreements issued in connection with the title insurance policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Substituted Property. The title insurance policy issued with respect to the Substitute Property shall (A) at Borrower’s option, provide coverage in the amount of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount if the “tie-in” or similar endorsement described above is available or, in lieu of a tie-in endorsement, in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount, (B) insure Lender that the relevant Mortgage creates a valid first lien on the Substitute Property encumbered thereby, free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any endorsements), (C) contain such endorsements and affirmative coverages reasonably requested by Lender, but only to the extent the same are available in the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located, and (D) name Lender as the insured. Lender also shall have received copies of paid receipts or other evidence showing that all premiums in respect of such endorsements and title insurance policies have been paid.
110
(s) Lender shall have received (i) an endorsement to the title insurance policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Substitute Property insuring that the Substitute Property constitutes a separate tax lot or, if such an endorsement is not available in the state in which the Substitute Property is located, a letter from the title insurance company issuing such Title Insurance Policy stating that the Substitute Policy constitutes a separate tax lot or (ii) a letter from the appropriate taxing authority stating that the Substitute Property constitutes a separate tax lot or other evidence satisfactory to a reasonably prudent lender as to same.
(t) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender (i) updates certified by Borrower of all organizational documentation related to Borrower and/or the formation, structure, existence, good standing and/or qualification to do business delivered to Lender on the Closing Date; (ii) good standing certificates, certificates of qualification to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located (if required in such jurisdiction); and (iii) resolutions of Borrower authorizing the substitution and any actions taken in connection with such substitution.
(u) Lender shall have received the following opinions of Borrower’s counsel: (i) an opinion or opinions of counsel, admitted to practice under the laws of the state in which the Substitute Property is located, stating that the Loan Documents governed by such state law delivered with respect to the Substitute Property are valid and enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the laws applicable to creditors’ rights and equitable principles, and that Borrower is qualified to do business and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction where the Substitute Property is located or that Borrower is not required by applicable law to qualify to do business in such jurisdiction; (ii) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies, if the Loan is part of a Securitization, or reasonably acceptable to the Lender, if the Loan is not part of a Securitization, stating that the Loan Documents delivered with respect to the Substitute Property pursuant to clause (i) above were duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Borrower; (iii) an opinion of counsel acceptable to, the Rating Agencies if the Loan is part of a Securitization, or the Lender if the Loan is not part of a Securitization, stating either (x) that subjecting the Substitute Property to the Lien of the related Mortgage and the execution and delivery of the related Loan Documents do not and will not affect or impair the ability of Lender to enforce its remedies under all of the Loan Documents or (y) this Agreement, after giving effect to the Loan Documents executed in connection with the substitution, shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms; (iv) an update of the Insolvency Opinion indicating that the substitution does not affect the opinions set forth therein; and (v) if the Loan is part of a Securitization, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies that the substitution does not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan under Section 1001 of the Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by the REMIC Trust holding the Loan. Such opinions, to the extent applicable, shall be substantially in the respective forms approved by Lender in connection with the origination of the Loan, and shall contain customary assumptions and qualifications.
(v) To the extent such escrows would be required pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in Article VI, Borrower shall have paid, or escrowed with Lender, all Basic Carrying Costs relating to the Substitute Property, including without limitation, (i) accrued but unpaid insurance premiums relating to each of the individual Properties and the Substitute Property, and (ii) currently due and payable Taxes (including any in arrears) relating to each of
111
the Individual Properties and the Substitute Property and (iii) currently due and payable maintenance charges and other impositions relating to each of the Individual Properties and Substitute Property after taking into account Reserve Funds held in connection with the Substituted Property and available as Reserve Funds for the Substitute Property.
(w) Lender shall have received such other amendments and modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as would be requested by a reasonably prudent lender originating commercial loans for securitization similar to the Loan in order to reflect and effect the substitution and to protect and preserve the Liens and security interests of Lender in the Substitute Property.
(x) Lender shall have received such other and further approvals, opinions, documents and information in connection with the substitution as requested by the Rating Agencies if the Loan is part of a Securitization.

(aa) Borrower shall submit to Lender for its review, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date of such substitution, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Substituted Property to be executed by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate for the jurisdiction in which the Substituted Property is located and that contains standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation that a reasonably prudent lender originating commercial loans for securitization similar to the Loan would require to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(bb) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 11.29 have been satisfied.
(cc) Borrower shall have paid or reimbursed Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) in connection with the substitution. Borrower shall have paid all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses (including, without limitation, mortgage and intangibles taxes and documentary stamp taxes) payable in connection with the substitution. If the Loan is part of a Securitization, Borrower shall have paid all costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies incurred in connection with the substitution.
(dd) Upon the satisfaction of the foregoing conditions precedent, Lender will release its Lien from the Substituted Property (or assign such Lien, as applicable) and the Substitute Property shall be deemed to be an Individual Property for purposes of this Agreement and the Substitute Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Substitute Property shall be
112
deemed to be the Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Substitute Property for all purposes hereunder.
Following the substitution of a Substituted Property in exchange for a Substitute Property in accordance with this Section 11.29, Lender shall adjust (if applicable) the amounts thereafter required to be deposited by Borrower into the Reserve Funds to reflect amounts required solely for the remaining Individual Properties and the Substitute Property after giving effect to such substitution.
Section 11.30 Partial Release – Expansion.
