policy with respect to said materials; (v) Borrower either owns or will, after
the payment of the bills and invoices therefor (which payment in full shall
occur promptly after the disbursement of the Loan for such materials), own such
materials free and clear of all Liens of any nature whatsoever, which ownership
shall be established contemporaneously with or promptly after such disbursement
by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent; (vi) Borrower executes and
delivers to Agent such additional security documents as Agent shall reasonably
deem necessary to create and perfect a first priority lien in the Stored

materials shall in no event at any time exceed the actual Hard Costs incurred by
Borrower for such materials as verified by Construction Consultant pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement; (viii) the conditions set forth in Section
2.1.9(e) below have been satisfied; and (ix) if required by Agent, the Architect
or the Construction Consultant shall certify that it has inspected such
materials and they are in good condition and suitable for use in connection with
the Project.
(b) Off-Site Stored Materials. Lenders shall in no event or
under any circumstances have any obligation to make any disbursement of the
Building Loan for materials which are stored off-site unless the conditions set
forth in subsections (a) and (e) of this Section 2.1.9 have been satisfied with
respect to the materials stored off-site (other than the requirement of clause
(ii) contained in Section 2.1.9(a) with respect to the storage of materials
on-site) and all such materials covered by any Advance hereunder are stored at a
location, other than the Property, reasonably acceptable to Agent and
Construction Consultant and are (i) stored in a designated and secure area,
conspicuously marked to show that they are the subject of a security interest by
Agent and said stored off-site materials will not be moved except in connection
with their delivery to the Property or to another storage location that conform
with the requirements of this subsection (b); and (ii) effectively segregated

(c) Finally Assembled, Fully Fabricated Major Building
Materials. (i) Lenders shall from time to time make Advances in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement for the purchase of certain finally assembled, fully
fabricated major building materials, which are ready for delivery to the
Property but are temporarily stored at off-site locations other than the
Property (collectively, "MAJOR BUILDING MATERIALS"), approved by Construction
Consultant prior to the delivery to the Property or incorporation into the
Improvements of such Major Building Materials; provided, however, that in the
case of each such disbursement, the conditions contained in Section 2.1.9(a)
above have been satisfied with respect to the Major Building Materials, other
than the requirement of clause (ii) contained therein with respect to the
storage of such materials on site, and Agent shall have received (A) a written
statement from the
-38-
manufacturer or xxxxxx of such Major Building Materials (or a provision in the
purchase order therefor to such effect) that Agent, Construction Consultant and
either of their agents may fully inspect such Major Building Materials at all
reasonable times and (B) evidence that the conditions set forth in Section
2.1.9(e) below have been satisfied.
(ii) Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion, but
not the obligation, to request that Borrower deliver or cause to be
delivered to Agent the following documents within five (5) Business
Days after the date on which any Advance for Major Building Materials
is made: (A) bills of lading, warehouse receipts, delivery receipts or
other documents of title with respect to the Major Building Materials
for which such advance is made, which shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Agent in all respects; (B) a Certificate of
Borrower in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent in all
respects to the effect that such Major Building Materials are either
owned or will be owned by Borrower upon payment of the bills and
invoices therefor (which payment in full shall occur promptly after
disbursement of the Advance for such materials) outright, free and
clear of all Liens, other than liens and security interest in favor of
Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, and that Borrower has
complied with all of the terms of this subsection (c). No advance for
Major Building Materials shall be made unless the Major Building
Materials covered thereby are stored at a location, other than the
Property, acceptable to Agent and Construction Consultant, and are (y)
stored in a designated and secure area, conspicuously marked to show
that they are the subject of a security interest by Agent and said
Major Building Materials will not be moved except in connection with
their delivery to the Property or to another storage location that
conforms with the requirements of this subsection (c); and (z)
effectively segregated (to the extent reasonably possible) from all
other materials of whatever kind located at the off-site location in
question.
(d) Deposits. Lenders shall make Advances of the Building Loan
in accordance with this Agreement to pay for deposits (collectively,
"PREFABRICATION DEPOSITS") that Borrower is required to post towards materials
not yet fully fabricated (i.e., not ready for installation at the Property or
incorporation into the Improvements) and other materials that are required in
connection with the construction and equipping of the Improvements
(collectively, "PREFABRICATED MATERIALS") but for which title has not yet passed
to Borrower and, accordingly, a perfected security interest cannot be given to
Agent, provided that, the aggregate amount of such disbursements of the Building
Loan proceeds for Prefabrication Deposits shall in no event at any time exceed
$10,000,000 less the aggregate amounts previously paid by Borrower for
Prefabrication Deposits as part of its Required Equity to the extent that the
Prefabricated Materials for which such Prefabrication Deposits were paid by
Borrower as part of its Required Equity are still Prefabricated Materials, (it
being understood that once title has passed to Borrower and the conditions set
forth in Section 2.1.9(a) or (b) or (c) above are satisfied, then the
disbursements of the Loan therefor shall not be applied against the aforesaid
amount for Prefabrication Deposits).
(e) Limited Amount. The aggregate amount of such disbursements
of the Building Loan for such materials which are stored on-site together with
any materials which are stored off-site (including, but not limited to, Major
Building Materials) and together with any Prefabricated Materials for which
Prefabrication Deposits for which such disbursements were
-39-
made and which is outstanding at any given time shall in no event exceed
$50,000,000 less the aggregate amounts previously paid by Borrower for Stored
Materials (including Major Building Materials) and Prefabricated Deposits on
account of Prefabricated Materials as part of its Required Equity to the extent
that such Stored Materials and such Prefabricated Materials have as of the date
of such disbursement not yet been incorporated into the Improvements (it being
understood that once the Stored Materials and/or Major Building Materials and/or
Prefabricated Materials are incorporated into the Project, the cost thereof
shall not be applied to the limit described in this Section 2.1.9(e)).
2.1.10 AMOUNT OF ADVANCES. (a) In no event shall any Advance
exceed the full amount of Building Loan Costs theretofore paid or to be paid
with the proceeds of such Advance plus any Building Loan Costs incurred by
Borrower through the date of the Draw Request for such Advance minus (i) with
respect to any such Building Loan Costs that are Hard Costs of construction, the
applicable Retainage for each contract and subcontract and (ii) the aggregate
amount of any Advances previously made by Lenders. It is further understood that
the Retainage described above is intended to provide a contingency fund
protecting Lenders against failure of Borrower or Guarantor to fulfill any
obligations under the Building Loan Documents, and that Lenders may charge
amounts against such Retainage in the event Lenders are required or elect to
expend funds to cure any Default or Event of Default in accordance with the
terms hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents.
(b) The Retainage shall be advanced on a contract-by-contract
basis after final completion of all construction work provided for under such
contract, subject to reasonable approval thereof by the Construction Consultant
and receipt by Agent of final lien waiver(s) for said contract.
(c) No Advance of the Building Loan by the Lenders shall be
deemed to be an approval or acceptance by the Lenders of any work performed
thereon or the materials furnished with respect thereto.
2.1.11 LOAN BALANCING. If at any time Agent notifies Borrower
that, in Agent's sole but reasonable judgment, the undisbursed proceeds of the
Building Loan and Supplemental Loan are insufficient to pay the remaining Hard
Costs and Soft Costs and the undisbursed proceeds of the Project Loan are
insufficient to pay the remaining Project Loan Costs (the amount of such
deficiency being herein referred to as the "SHORTFALL") or, if at any time after
a Casualty or Condemnation shall have occurred, Agent notifies Borrower that, in
Agent's sole but reasonable judgment, the undisbursed proceeds of the Building
Loan and Supplemental Loan together with any Net Proceeds actually received by
Agent and not yet disbursed by Agent for Restoration and together with the
undisbursed proceeds of the Project Loan are insufficient to pay the remaining
Hard Costs and Soft Costs and (with respect to Project Loan proceeds only)
Project Loan Costs to achieve Completion of the Improvements or completion of
the Restoration (as the case may be), then, in any such case, Borrower shall, at
its option, either (i) within ten (10) Business Days of Agent's notification as
aforesaid, deposit with Agent an amount equal to such deficiency, which Agent
shall from time to time apply, or allow Borrower to apply, to such costs; (ii)
pay for such Hard Costs and Soft Costs and, if relevant Project Loan Costs or
costs of Restoration, as incurred, in the amount of such deficiency so that the
amount of the Building Loan and Supplemental Loan which remains to be disbursed
shall be sufficient to pay all remaining Hard Costs and Soft Costs and the
amount of the Project Loan which remains to be disbursed shall be sufficient to
pay
-40-
all remaining Project Loan Costs to achieve Completion of the Improvements (and,
if relevant, when added to the amount of any Net Proceeds actually received by
Agent and not yet disbursed by Agent for Restoration, to achieve completion of
the Restoration), and Borrower shall furnish Agent with such evidence thereof as
Agent shall reasonably require; or (iii) post a Letter of Credit in the amount
of such deficiency. Borrower hereby agrees that Agent, for the benefit of
Lenders, shall have a lien on and security interest in any sums deposited
pursuant to clause (i) above and that Borrower shall have no right to withdraw
any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs as approved by
Agent. Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to make any further advances
of proceeds of the Loan or to disburse any Net Proceeds to Borrower (subject to
and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Article V hereof
and the corresponding provisions of the Supplemental Loan Agreement and the
Project Loan Agreement, to the extent applicable), until the sums required to be
deposited pursuant to clause (i) above have been deposited, Borrower has
actually paid such Hard Costs and Soft Costs and Project Loan Costs, as the case
may be, (and, if relevant, the costs of Restoration) pursuant to clause (ii)
above, or until Borrower has posted a Letter of Credit pursuant to clause (iii)
above, as the case may be, and, in any such case, the Loan is back "in balance."
Any such sums not used as provided in said clause (i) shall be released to
Borrower when and to the extent that Agent reasonably determines that the amount
thereof is more than the excess, if any, of the total remaining costs of
completion of the Improvements over the undisbursed balance of the Loan,
provided, however, that should an Event of Default occur and be continuing,
Agent shall, at the option of the Majority Lenders, apply such amounts either to
the costs of completion of the Improvements or to the immediate reduction of
outstanding principal and/or interest under the Note.
2.1.12 QUALITY OF WORK. No Advance or any portion thereof
shall be made with respect to defective work or to any contractor that has
performed work that is defective and that has not been cured, as confirmed by
the report of the Construction Consultant, but Lenders may disburse all or part
of any Advance before the sum shall become due if Agent believes it advisable to
do so, and all such Advances or parts thereof shall be deemed to have been made
pursuant to this Agreement.
2.1.13 REQUIRED EQUITY. All Required Equity shall be
contributed (i.e., expended by Borrower and invested in the Property for
Building Loan Costs and Project Loan Costs or any other approved cost in
connection with the construction of the Improvements) before any Advances other
than the Initial Advance of the Building Loan, or any advances of the
Supplemental Loan or the Project Loan shall be made. Borrower shall not be
deemed to have contributed Required Equity with respect to any expenditures made
by Borrower for Building Loan Costs or Project Loan Costs unless at the time
that Borrower is establishing the amount of its Required Equity Borrower would
have been entitled to an Advance under this Agreement or the corresponding
provisions of the Supplemental Loan Agreement (and a disbursement under the Cash
Collateral Agreement) and the Project Loan Agreement, as the case may be, for
such expenditures (assuming for this purpose only that the requirements of this
Section 2.1.13 and of Section 2.1.11 of this Agreement and the corresponding
provisions, if any, in the Supplemental Loan Agreement, Cash Collateral
Agreement and Project Loan Agreement are satisfied). Agent acknowledges that as
of the Closing Date Borrower has contributed $87,338,207 of the Required Equity.
-41-
SECTION 2.2 INTEREST RATE.
2.2.1 INTEREST.
(a) Applicable Interest Rate. The outstanding principal amount
of the Building Loan shall bear interest, as provided below, at the Applicable
Interest Rate from time to time in effect based upon the LIBO Adjusted Rate or
the Base Rate, as Borrower may select as provided below, and Borrower may
convert any portion of the principal amount of the Building Loan from one type
to another as provided herein; provided, that the portion of the principal
amount of the Building Loan converted as aforesaid shall not be less than the
minimum amount set forth in Section 2.2.2.
(b) Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest and fees
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual
number of days elapsed to the relevant Payment Date, including the first day and
excluding the last day (i.e., the relevant Payment Date) and shall be payable in
arrears on the first Business Day of the calendar month immediately following
the Closing Date and, thereafter, monthly on the first Business Day of each
calendar month during the term of the Loan. If a LIBOR Loan or a Base Rate Loan
is repaid on the same day on which it is made one (1) day's interest shall be
paid on such Loan as well as any amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.2.7. Any
change in the Prime Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be effective as of the
day on which such change in rate occurs. Each determination of an interest rate
by Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on Borrower in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, interest payable at the Default Rate following an Event of Default
shall be payable from time to time on demand of Agent and in any event, upon the
payment or prepayment of any principal of any portion of the Loan, accrued,
unpaid interest on the principal amount so paid or prepaid shall be due and
payable.
(c) Conversion and Continuation Options.
(i) Base Rate Loan to LIBOR Loan. Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.2.2, Borrower may elect pursuant to a Rate Request to convert
all or any portion of the outstanding Base Rate Loan to LIBOR Loans
provided that no Loan may be converted to a LIBOR Loan: (i) when any
Event of Default has occurred under any of the Loan Documents and is
continuing and Agent has determined that such a conversion is not
appropriate; or (ii) after the date which is one month prior to the
Maturity Date.
(ii) LIBOR Loan to Base Rate Loan. Borrower may elect pursuant
to a Rate Request to convert all or any portion of the outstanding
LIBOR Loans upon the expiration date of its then current Interest
Period to a Base Rate Loan.
(iii) LIBOR Loan to LIBOR Loan. Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.2.2, any LIBOR Loan may be continued upon the expiration date
of its then current Interest Period by Borrower pursuant to a Rate
Request, provided that no LIBOR Loan may be continued: (i) when any
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and Agent has
determined that such a continuation is not appropriate or (ii) after
the date that is one month prior to the Maturity Date. If Borrower
fails to submit a Rate Request to Agent in
-42-
accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the outstanding LIBOR
Loan shall automatically be continued as a one month LIBOR Loan unless
the remaining term of the Loan is less than one month in which case the
outstanding LIBOR Loan shall automatically be continued as a Bate Rate
Loan.
2.2.2 MINIMUM AMOUNTS AND MAXIMUM NUMBER OF INTEREST PERIODS.
All borrowings, conversions and continuations of the Loan and all selections of
Interest Periods, except for borrowings for interest on the Loan and/or fees and
expenses of Agent and Lenders, shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to
such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal
amount of each LIBOR Loan shall be at least equal to $1,000,000. No more than
six (6) LIBOR Loan Interest Periods and one (1) Base Rate Loan in the aggregate
may be outstanding at any time under this Agreement, the Supplemental Loan
Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement and the Note.
2.2.3 CERTAIN NOTICES. Notices by Borrower to Agent of
borrowings hereunder, optional prepayments of the Building Loan, selection of
the duration of Interest Periods, and conversion to or continuation of a LIBOR
Loan or a Base Rate Loan shall be irrevocable and shall be effective only if
received by Agent in writing or telephonically not later than 11:00 a.m. New
York time (and if telephonically, also confirmed in writing by 5:00 p.m. New
York time) on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the relevant
occurrence specified below:
Notice Prior Notice Requirements
Borrowing (including initial selection of Base 3 London Business Days
Rate Loan/LIBOR Loan/Cost of Funds Rate for LIBOR Loan
Loan/Interest Period for each borrowing)
1 Business Day for Base
Rate Loan (and, with
respect to the Initial
Advance only, if a LIBOR
Loan)
Optional Prepayment 5 Business Days
Selection of duration of Interest Period 3 London Business Days
Conversion to LIBOR Loan or Base Rate Loan 3 London Business Days
or continuation as LIBOR Loan
Each notice of optional prepayment shall specify the amount of the Building Loan
to be prepaid, the date of prepayment (which shall be a Business Day) and such
other details as Agent may reasonably request. Notwithstanding the foregoing or
anything else to the contrary contained herein, Agent and Lenders shall have the
right to apply any prepayment of the Loan, regardless of how specified by
Borrower, in such order and priority as between the Building Loan, the
-43-
Supplemental Loan and the Project Loan as Agent shall designate in its sole
discretion. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that it is Agent's and Lenders'
expectation that prepayments shall be applied first in payment of the Project
Loan, then in payment of the Supplemental Loan and, lastly, in payment of the
Building Loan.
2.2.4 ADDITIONAL COSTS. (a) If interest is based on a LIBO
Adjusted Rate, Borrower shall pay to Agent from time to time, within ten (10)
days after demand therefor by Agent, such amounts as each Lender may reasonably
determine to be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any costs that such
Lender reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of
any portion of the Loan as a LIBOR Loan or its obligation to make any portion of
the Loan as a LIBOR Loan hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by
such Lender hereunder in respect of a LIBOR Loan or such obligation (such
increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called
"ADDITIONAL COSTS"), in each case resulting from and limited to the amounts
necessary to compensate each Lender for any Regulatory Change (I) which affects
similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally and is not
applicable to such Lender primarily by reason of such Lender's particular
conduct or condition and (II) which:
(i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to
such Lender under this Agreement or the Note (other than Excluded
Taxes); or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or
similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement utilized in
the determination of the LIBO Rate) relating to any extensions of
credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities
of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any such deposits
referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate"), or any commitment of
such Lender (including, without limitation, the commitment of such
Lender hereunder); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or
the Building Loan Note (or any of such extensions of credit or
liabilities referred to in subdivision (ii) above).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2.4,
Additional Costs may be imposed on Borrower by Agent on behalf of each Lender
only if such Additional Costs are generally being imposed by such Lender on
similarly situated borrowers (as reasonably determined by such Lender).
(b) Without limiting the effect of the provisions of clause
(a) of this Section 2.2.4 (but without duplication), in the event that, by
reason of any Regulatory Change which affects similarly situated banks or
financial institutions generally and is not applicable to a Lender primarily by
reason of such Lender's particular conduct or condition, any Lender incurs
Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of
the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that
includes deposits by reference to which the LIBO Rate is determined as provided
in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such
Lender that includes the portion of the Building Loan evidenced by such Lender's
Note, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to Agent and Borrower, the
obligation of such Lender to make or continue such portion of the Building Loan
based on the
-44-
LIBO Adjusted Rate hereunder shall be suspended effective on the last day of the
then current Interest Period, until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in
effect and the portion of the Building Loan evidenced by such Lender's Building
Loan Note shall, during such suspension, bear interest at the Base Rate plus the
Base Rate Margin.
(c) Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 2.2.4 (but without duplication), Borrower shall pay to each Lender
from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may reasonably
determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication,
the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs
that it reasonably determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender
(or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company of such Lender),
pursuant to any law or regulation or any interpretation, directive or request
(whether or not having the force of law) of any Governmental Authority (i)
following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital
guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law) applying
to a class of banks including such Lender, hereafter issued by any government or
governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the
Basle Accord (including, without limitation, the Final Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R.
Part 208, Appendix A; 00 X.X.X. Xxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx X) and the Final Risk-Based
Capital Guidelines of the office of the Comptroller of the Currency (12 C.F.R.
Part 3, Appendix A)), of capital in respect of the commitment to lend or the
Ratable Share of the Building Loan of such Lender (such compensation to include,
without limitation, an amount equal to the reduction of the rate of return on
capital of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding
company of such Lender) to a level below that which such Lender (or any
Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company of such Lender) would
have achieved but for such increase in capital due to such law, regulation,
interpretation, directive or request), after taking into consideration such
Lender's policies and practices and the policies and practices of such Lender's
holding company with respect to capital adequacy. For purposes of this Section
2.2.4(c), "BASLE ACCORD" shall mean the proposals for risk-based capital
framework described by the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and
Supervisory Practices in its paper entitled "International Convergence of
Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" dated July 1988, as amended, modified
and supplemented and in effect from time to time or any replacement thereof.
(d) Each Lender shall notify Agent and Borrower of any event
occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling Lender to compensation
under clause (a) or (c) of this Section 2.2.4 as promptly as practicable, and
shall designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loan if such
designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation
and will not, in the reasonable opinion of such Lender, be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. Such Lender shall furnish to Borrower a
certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender
for compensation under clause (a) or (c) of this Section 2.2.4. Determinations
and allocations by each Lender for purposes of this Section 2.2.4 of the effect
of any Regulatory Change pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section
2.2.4, or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to subsection (c) of this
Section 2.2.4, on its costs or rate of return of maintaining its Ratable Share
of the Building Loan or its obligation to make such Building Loan, or on amounts
receivable by it in respect of the Building Loan, and of the amounts required to
compensate each Lender under this Section 2.2.4, shall constitute prima facie
evidence thereof. Each Lender shall confirm to Borrower at the time
-45-
it makes any claim under this Section 2.2.4 that the methods of determination
and allocation used by it in determining the amount of such claim are reasonably
consistent with such Lender's treatment of customers similar to Borrower (as
reasonably determined by such Lender). In the event any Lender makes a request
for compensation under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.2.4, Borrower
shall, upon payment of the amount of compensation so requested, have the right
to prepay the Loan in full, without penalty or premium but subject to payment of
all amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 2.2.7, on the last day of any
then current Interest Period with respect to which such compensation has been
requested. Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.2.4 for any additional costs incurred more than 90 days prior to
the date that such Lender knew of the changes giving rise to such increased
costs and of such Lender's intention to claim compensation therefor under this
Section.
2.2.5 LIBO RATE. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of any LIBO Adjusted Rate
for any Interest Period,
(a) any Lender reasonably determines that quotations of
interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of "LIBO
Rate" are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant
maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for any LIBOR Loan as
provided herein; or
(b) any Lender reasonably determines that by reason of
circumstances affecting the London interbank market the relevant rates of
interest referred to in the definition of "LIBO Rate" upon the basis of which
the rate of interest for the LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period is to be
determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lender of making
or maintaining a LIBOR Loan for such Interest Period;
then such Lender shall give Borrower and Agent prompt notice thereof and, so
long as such condition remains in effect, such Lender shall be under no
obligation to make its Ratable Share of any such LIBOR Loan but shall remain
obligated to make its Ratable Share of a Base Rate Loan for a corresponding
amount, or if any portion of the Loan is already outstanding as a LIBOR Loan,
such portion shall, commencing immediately after the end of the then current
Interest Period, bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin. Each
such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Agent upon the cessation of any
facts and circumstances which resulted in suspension under this Section 2.2.5,
whereupon Borrower's right to cause the Building Loan or any portion thereof to
be a LIBOR Loan shall be reinstated.
2.2.6 ILLEGALITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its
Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain its
Ratable Share of the Building Loan, then such Lender shall promptly notify
Borrower and Agent thereof and such Lender's obligation to make its Ratable
Share of the Building Loan shall be suspended (provided that, if requested by
Borrower, such Lender's Ratable Share of the Building Loan shall automatically
be converted to a Base Rate Loan if doing so would enable such Lender to
lawfully honor its obligation to make or maintain its Ratable Share of the
Building Loan) until such time as such Lender may again make its Ratable Share
of the Building Loan and Borrower shall, if required by applicable law, upon the
request of such Lender, prepay a portion of the Building Loan equal to the
Ratable Share of such Lender together with accrued interest thereon, but without
compensation to such Lender pursuant
-46-
to Section 2.2.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Lender shall, as promptly
as practicable, designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loan if
doing so would enable it to lawfully honor its obligation to make or maintain
its Ratable Share of the Loan.
2.2.7 BREAKAGE COSTS. (a) Borrower agrees to compensate each
Lender for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (a) a default
by Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of a LIBOR
Loan after such Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) a default by Borrower in making any
prepayment of a LIBOR Loan after such Borrower has given a notice thereof in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a
prepayment (mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan for any reason (including,
without limitation, the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan pursuant to
Section 9.1, the payment of Contingent Amortization pursuant to Section 4.1.11
or a prepayment of the Loan in connection with a release of a Residential Unit
pursuant to Section 4.1.37), other than a prepayment of the Loan pursuant to
Section 2.2.6, on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with
respect thereto.
(b) Each such Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate
setting forth the basis and amount of each request by Lender for compensation
under this Section 2.2.7, which certificate shall provide reasonable detail as
to the calculation of such loss, cost or expense. Such certificate shall
constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of such loss, cost or expense,
which shall be calculated by such Lender on a reasonable and customary basis,
consistent with the basis on which such calculations are then being made by
similarly situated banks or financial institutions generally.
2.2.8 WITHHOLDING TAXES. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender
such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any
amount due hereunder or under any of the other Building Loan Documents to such
Lender, after deduction for or withholding of any present or future tax imposed
by the United States (subject, in either case, to the provisions of this Section
2.2.8), excluding Excluded Taxes of such Lender, will be the amount that would
be required to be paid hereunder or thereunder in the absence of such deduction
or withholding. Each Lender shall provide Borrower with a form prescribed by the
United States Internal Revenue Service (currently, Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN)
certifying such Lender's exemption from United States withholding taxes with
respect to all payments to be made to such Lender under this Agreement and any
other Building Loan Document at the date of such certificate, and if any Lender
fails to provide Borrower with the prescribed form referred to in the preceding
sentence, indicating that such payments are not subject to United States
withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced to zero by an
applicable tax treaty, Borrower may withhold taxes from payments to or for the
account of such Lender at the applicable statutory rate and shall not be
obligated to pay any additional amounts described
-47-
in the first sentence of this Section in respect of the Building Loan; provided,
that this sentence shall be inapplicable to such Lender in the event that such
Lender is not able to make the certification set forth in such prescribed form
as a result of a change in United States federal income tax law, regulation or
judicial or administrative interpretation occurring after the date hereof, or of
an amendment, modification or revocation of an applicable tax treaty or a change
in official position regarding the application or interpretation thereof, in
each case, occurring after the date hereof. In the event that Borrower is
obligated to pay any additional amounts described in the first sentence of this
section in respect of the Building Loan, Lender shall make commercially
reasonable efforts to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office

Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall
Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Building

as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of
this Agreement or the other Building Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time
required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at
a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the
Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to
the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal
Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on

Agent or Lenders for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under
the Building Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of

equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by
Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate
Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount

Area shall not have all been issued and the originals of the same delivered to
Agent together with an assignment of each such Certificate executed in blank and
undated in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent by such time as Borrower begins
to pour the concrete for the Residential Component, Agent and Lenders shall have
no obligation to advance any undisbursed proceeds of the Loan until such time as
such Certificates of Eligibility for Zoning Bonus for not less than the total
Bonus Area shall have all been issued and the originals of the same delivered to
Agent together with an assignment of each such Certificate executed in blank and
undated in form reasonably satisfactory to Agent.

SECTION 2.10 BORROWING PROCEDURES.
2.10.1 DRAW REQUESTS. Borrower shall submit to Agent and the
Construction Consultant a Draw Request (substantially in the forms attached
hereto as SCHEDULES II through IX) ("BORROWER'S REQUISITION") not less than
eight (8) Business Days prior to the date upon which a disbursement of the Loan
is requested (the "BORROWING DATE") and no more frequently than once in each
calendar month (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2.10.2). As
part of each Draw Request, Borrower shall submit, as notice of its intention to
borrow funds, a Borrower's Requisition Letter in the form set forth in SCHEDULE
II, which shall be executed by one of the Authorized Representatives. Each
Borrower's Requisition Letter shall be accompanied by: (i) a Borrower's
Requisition Spreadsheet in the form set forth in SCHEDULE IV (it being
understood, however, that once the guaranteed maximum price shall have been
approved by Lender as herein provided, Borrower shall be required to show on
such Spreadsheet only a single Budget Line for Hard Costs); (ii) a completed
Application and Certificate for Payment (AIA Document G702) attached hereto as
SCHEDULE VI that is executed by the Construction Manager and Architect; (iii) a
Borrowing Certificate in the form set forth in SCHEDULE VIII; (iv) Payment
Receipts in the form set forth in SCHEDULE IX from
-61-
the Construction Manager and Trade Contractors, evidencing that they have been
paid in full for all work performed and/or materials supplied to the date of the
preceding advance, except for Retainage provided for in this Agreement; (v) at
the request of Agent, current requisitions for payment from Trade Contractors
and/or any of their subcontractors allocable to the Improvements; (vi) such
other information and documents as may be reasonably requested or required by
Agent or the Construction Consultant with respect to the Hard Costs covered by
such Draw Request; and (vii) invoices, statements or such other information and
documentation as Agent shall reasonably request or require with respect to any
Soft Costs covered by such Draw Request. All such requests and requisitions for
payment shall have been approved by Borrower and, with respect to Hard Costs,
recommended for payment by the Construction Consultant.
2.10.2 ONE ADVANCE PER MONTH. Agent and Lenders shall have no
obligation to make Advances of the Loan more often than once in each calendar
month except that Agent, in its sole discretion, shall have the right but not
the obligation, to make and to require the Lenders to make additional advances
per month for interest, fees and expenses due under the Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and Lenders agree to make more frequent
Advances to pay for the following Hard Costs: steel and any other Hard Costs for
which Borrower reasonably requests more than one advance per month, provided
that for each additional Advance during any calendar month, Borrower shall pay
to Agent an additional administration fee of $2,000 (in addition to the
Administrative Fee payable to Agent for such month pursuant to the Loan Fee
Letter), and provided further that in no event shall Agent and Lenders have any
obligation to make advances of the Loan more than twice in each calendar month.
2.10.3 ADVANCES TO PAY INTEREST, FEES AND EXPENSES. Borrower hereby
requests that Agent and Lenders make an Advance on each (i) Payment Date to pay
interest due at such time; (ii) Fee Payment Date to pay fees under the Loan
Documents that are then due to Agent, Lenders and/or Construction Consultant, as
applicable; and (iii) Borrowing Date to pay expenses and other reimbursables
under the Loan Documents that are then due and payable hereunder in accordance
with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, (A) all positive Net Cash Flow (excluding Net Sales Proceeds)
from the Property, to the extent that Agent determines that it is sufficient and
available to pay for such interest and fees, shall be used to for the same
before proceeds of the Building Loan are disbursed for such purposes, (B) the
amounts otherwise to be funded by Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.10.3 for
interest on the Building Loan shall be reduced by any payments received under
the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and (C) Lenders shall have no obligation
to make any such disbursement for interest or fees unless the conditions set
forth in Section 2.9.2(c) are satisfied and no material Default and no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Neither the provisions of this
Section 2.10.3 nor the provisions of Section 2.8 are intended to limit or
derogate from Borrower's and Guarantor's absolute and unconditional obligation
to pay such interest and fees regardless of whether Loan proceeds are available
or advanced therefor to the extent (if any) provided in the applicable
Guaranties.
2.10.4 PROCEDURE OF ADVANCES. (a) Each Draw Request shall be
submitted to Agent and the Construction Consultant at least eight (8) Business
Days prior to the Borrowing Date for the requested Advance, and no more
frequently than monthly except as otherwise provided in Section 2.10.2. Not less
than three (3) London Business Days prior to the Borrowing
-62-
Date, Agent shall deliver written notice to each Lender at the address specified
by each Lender from time to time which notice shall include the Borrowing Date
and such Lender's Ratable Share of such Advance. Agent shall include with such
notice a copy of the Draw Request, to the extent not previously delivered and to
the extent in Agent's possession, and Agent shall promptly deliver to each
Lender all items in respect of such Advance received by Agent after the date of
such notice. Lenders shall make the requested Advance on the Borrowing Date so
long as all conditions to such Advance are satisfied or waived. Unless otherwise
notified by Agent, each Lender may assume that all conditions to such Advance
are satisfied or waived on the Borrowing Date.
(b) Not later than 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Borrowing
Date, each Lender shall make available for the account of Agent at its address
referred to in Section 10.6, in same day funds, such Lender's ratable portion of
such Advance. After Agent's receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the
applicable conditions in Article II, Agent will make such funds available to
Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.10.
(c) Unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to
the Borrowing Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such
Lender's ratable portion of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such portion available to Agent on the Borrowing Date in accordance with
Section 2.10.4(b), and Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to Borrower on the Borrowing Date a corresponding amount. If and to
the extent that any of Lenders (the "DEFAULTING LENDER") shall not have so made
such ratable portion available to Agent (individually, a "DEFICIENCY," and
collectively, "DEFICIENCIES"), and Agent has advanced such amount to Borrower,
such Defaulting Lender agrees to repay to Agent forthwith on demand such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
such amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid
to Agent at the Default Rate. If such Defaulting Lender shall repay to Agent
such corresponding amount, such amount (excluding interest) so repaid shall
constitute such Defaulting Lender's ratable portion of the Advance. Each of the
Lenders agrees that Borrower or any of the other Lenders shall have the right to
proceed directly against any Defaulting Lender in respect of any right or claim
arising out of the default of such Defaulting Lender hereunder. If there shall
be a Deficiency in respect of any Lender, the other Lenders, or any of them,
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to advance all or any part of the
ratable portion of an Advance that should have been made by the Defaulting
Lender, and the Defaulting Lender agrees to repay upon demand to each of the
Lenders who has advanced a portion of the Deficiency the amount advanced on
behalf of the Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon at the Default
Rate. If more than one Lender elects to advance a portion of the Deficiency such
Lenders' advances shall be made based on the relative Ratable Shares of the Loan
of each advancing Lender or as otherwise agreed to by such Lenders. In the event
the Defaulting Lender fails to advance or repay the Deficiency (with interest at
the Default Rate, if applicable) on or prior to the date of the next succeeding
Advance, the entire interest of said Defaulting Lender in the Loan shall be
subordinate to the interests of the other Lenders and all payments otherwise
payable to the Defaulting Lender shall be used to advance or repay the
Deficiency, as applicable, until such time such Defaulting Lender advances or
repays all Deficiencies (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable)
and Borrower or Agent shall have the right to require such Defaulting Lender to
assign its interest in the Loan to an Eligible Institution or other assignee
satisfactory to Agent in its sole discretion (subject, nevertheless, to Section
10.24).
-63-
(d) The failure of any Lender to pay any Deficiency shall not
relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its
ratable portion of the Advance on the Borrowing Date, but no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any Lender to make its ratable portion of the
Advance to be made by such other Lender on the Borrowing Date; provided,
however, that Lenders shall be obligated to fund the balance or the then current
Advance (i.e., excluding the Deficiency) in the manner required hereunder. In
the event the following occurs, Lenders, in the sole discretion of Agent, shall
have the right to make no further Advances under the Loan: any and all
Deficiencies in respect of prior Advances made more than thirty (30) days prior
to the current Advance have not been funded by (A) the Defaulting Lender(s)
responsible therefor or (B) one or more of the other Lenders or (C) Borrower
with its own equity. In such event, the Building Loan Amount shall be
permanently reduced by any and all Deficiencies unless and until funded as
provided in clauses (A) or (B) above or a substitute lender, reasonably
acceptable to Lenders other than the Defaulting Lender(s), pays such
Deficiency(ies). If pursuant to this Section, Lenders are not obligated to make
an Advance, Agent may (subject to subsection (e) below) nonetheless make a
determination that Lenders shall make such Advances and all Lenders shall be
bound by such determination.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any decision by Agent to make
Advances hereunder when Borrower is not entitled to receive such an Advance
because an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and any decision by
Agent to refuse to make any Advance hereunder because an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing shall be a Major Decision requiring the consent of
all Lenders.
(f) If included in a Borrower's Requisition, Agent will make an
Advance directly into the imprest account of the Construction Manager in
accordance with the provisions of the Construction Management Agreement
provided, at no time, shall the outstanding unapplied balance in such imprest
account exceed $4,000,000.
2.10.5 FUNDS ADVANCED. Each Advance shall be made by Agent by wire
transfer to Borrower's Designated Account or as provided in Section 2.10.6. All
proceeds of all Advances shall be used by Borrower only for the purposes for
which such Advances were made. Borrower shall not commingle such funds with
other funds of Borrower.
2.10.6 DIRECT ADVANCES TO THIRD PARTIES. At Agent's option, Agent
may direct Lenders to make any or all Advances directly or through the Title
Company to (i) Construction Manager or any Trade Contractor for construction
expenses which shall theretofore have been approved by Agent and for which
Borrower shall have failed to make payment, provided that Agent shall not so
direct Lenders to make such Advances directly to any such Persons without
Borrower's prior consent unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) Borrower's Architect to pay its fees to the extent funds are
allocated thereto in the Building Loan Budget (subject to reallocation as
provided herein), (iii) the Construction Consultant to pay its fees in
accordance with the terms hereof, (iv) Agent's counsel to pay its fees in
accordance with the terms hereof, provided that Borrower shall theretofore have
received notice from Agent or such Lender that such fees have been incurred and
Borrower shall have failed to reimburse such Lender for such fees beyond any
grace periods provided for said reimbursement under the Building Loan Note, this
Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents, (v) each Lender to pay
(x) any installment of interest due under the Building Loan Note, (y) any
expenses
-64-
incurred by such Lender which are reimbursable by Borrower under the Building
Loan Documents (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and other fees and expenses incurred by
such Lender in accordance with the terms hereof), provided that Borrower shall
theretofore have received notice from Agent or such Lender that such expenses
have been incurred and Borrower shall have failed to reimburse such Lender for
such expenses beyond any grace periods provided for said reimbursement under the
Building Loan Note, this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents,
or (z) following an Event of Default, any other sums due to any Lender under the
Building Loan Note, this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents,
all to the extent that the same are not paid by the respective due dates
thereof, and in each case subject to the approval of Agent, (vi) any other
Person to whom Agent in good faith determines payment is due and for which
Borrower shall have failed to make payment, provided that Agent shall not so
direct Lenders to make such Advances directly to any such Persons without
Borrower's prior consent unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; and any portion of the Building Loan so disbursed by Lenders shall
be deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made
receives the same. Agent shall give each Lender not less than three (3) London
Business Days' Notice of the amount of interest due each Lender on each interest
due date, which notice shall include the Interest Period(s), and the portion of
the Building Loan which relates thereto and the Applicable Interest Rate for
each Interest Period; and (vii) to Vornado pursuant to the Guaranty of
Completion. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does,
constitute an irrevocable authorization so to advance the proceeds of the
Building Loan directly or through the Title Company to such Persons in
accordance with this Section 2.10.6 as amounts become due and payable to them
hereunder and any portion of the Building Loan so disbursed by Lenders shall be
deemed disbursed as of the date on which the Person to whom payment is made
receives the same. No further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to
warrant such direct Advances to such relevant Person, and all such Advances
shall satisfy pro tanto the obligations of Lenders hereunder and shall be
secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and the other Building Loan Documents as
fully as if made directly to Borrower.
2.10.7 ADVANCES DURING EXTENSION PERIODS. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Lenders shall have no obligation to make any
Advance during the Extension Periods, except for (a) interest on the Building
Loan, (b) tenant improvements and leasing commissions in respect of approved
Leases, (c) punch list items in respect of the Base Building Work, if funds
allocated in the Building Loan Budget remain available to be advanced under this
Agreement for such purposes and subject to all the conditions to Advances
therefor, including, without limitation, Section 2.1.11 and (d) Basic
Residential Buildout Work, if funds allocated in the Building Loan Budget remain
available to be advanced under this Agreement for such purposes and subject to
all the conditions to Advances therefor, including, without limitation, Section
2.1.11. Lenders will also continue to make Advances available to Borrower during
the First Extension Period to pay for costs reflected on the Building Loan
Budget incurred by Borrower prior to the Initial Maturity Date in connection
with the Base Building Work provided that the foregoing is not intended to limit
Borrower's obligation to achieve Completion of the Base Building Work by the
Initial Maturity Date.
2.10.8 ADVANCES DO NOT CONSTITUTE A WAIVER. No Advance shall
constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Lenders' obligation to make
further Advances nor, in the
-65-
event Borrower is unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any Advance have
the effect of precluding Agent from thereafter declaring such inability to be an
Event of Default hereunder.
2.10.9 TRUST FUND PROVISIONS. All proceeds advanced hereunder shall
be subject to the trust fund provisions of Section 13 of the Lien Law. The
affidavit attached hereto as EXHIBIT F is made pursuant to and in compliance
with Section 22 of the Lien Law, and, if so indicated in said affidavit,
Building Loan proceeds will be used, in part, for reimbursement for payments
made by Borrower prior to the Initial Advance hereunder but subsequent to the
commencement of the construction and equipping of the Improvements for items
constituting Costs of the Improvement.
2.10.10 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
2.10.11 ADVANCES AND DISBURSEMENTS UNDER COMPLETION GUARANTY.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally authorizes
Agent and Lenders to make any disbursements of proceeds of the Building Loan in
accordance with the Guaranty of Completion. Borrower agrees that (i) any such
disbursement of Building Loan Proceeds to Vornado shall be secured by the
Building Loan Mortgage and shall constitute part of the Debt, and (ii) Vornado
shall have the right to exercise all of the rights of Borrower hereunder
(including, without limitation, the right to make requests for Advances, to
satisfy conditions precedent thereto, to make change orders, and to re-allocate
Line Items on the Budget in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the
Guaranty of Completion).

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents by it, and has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all the transactions
contemplated hereby.
3.1.2 PROCEEDINGS. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute a legal,
valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and by general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in
a proceeding in equity or at law).
-66-
3.1.3 NO CONFLICTS. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents by Borrower and the performance of its obligations
hereunder and thereunder will not conflict with any provision of any law or
regulation to which Borrower is subject, or conflict with, result in a breach
of, or constitute a default under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of
any of Borrower's organizational documents or any agreement or instrument to
which Borrower is a party or by which it is bound, or any order or decree
applicable to Borrower, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien on
any of Borrower's assets or property (other than pursuant to the Loan
Documents).
3.1.4 LITIGATION. There is no action, suit, proceeding or
investigation pending or, to Borrower's knowledge, threatened against Borrower
and/or Guarantor in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority,
or labor controversy affecting Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective
properties, businesses, assets or revenues, which, individually or in the
aggregate, would reasonably be expected to (i) materially and adversely affect
the ability of Borrower to carry out the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, (ii) materially and adversely affect the value of the Property, (iii)

to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any
Governmental Authority, which default would be reasonably expected to have
consequences that would materially and adversely affect the condition (financial
or other) or operations of Borrower or its properties or would be reasonably
expected to have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its
performance hereunder.
3.1.6 CONSENTS. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any
court or Governmental Authority or other Person is required for the execution,
delivery and performance by Borrower of, or compliance by Borrower with, this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, other
than those which have been obtained by Borrower.

Property or impair Borrower's ability to perform its obligations under the
Building Loan Documents in a timely manner. Notwithstanding anything herein

forth shall be for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders, and their successors and
assigns and not the Title Company.

Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects
with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, land use
and building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or
violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental
Authority, the violation of which would be reasonably expected to materially
adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower.
Borrower has not committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the
right to cause Borrower to forfeit the Property or any part thereof or any
monies paid in performance of Borrower's obligations under any of the Loan
Documents. Subject to Borrower's obtaining the necessary Certificates of
Eligibility for Zoning Bonus for the Additional Development Rights, all

being made or deemed remade has been taken to permit construction of the
Improvements according to the Plans and Specifications and full use of the
Improvements for their intended purpose under applicable Legal Requirements,
except, with respect to use of the Improvements, for the absence of a
certificate of occupancy prior to the completion of the Improvements. Subject to
the need for Borrower to obtain the necessary Certificates of Eligibility for
Zoning Bonus for the Additional Development Rights, Borrower, has all necessary
certificates, licenses, authorizations, registrations, permits and/or approvals
that are now necessary for the construction of the Improvements or any part
thereof in accordance with the Plans and Specifications or the commencement or
continuance of construction thereon, as the case may be, including but not
limited to, where appropriate, all required environmental permits, all of which
as of the date of the signing hereof are in full force and effect and not, to
the knowledge of Borrower, subject to any revocation, amendment, release,

the balance of such Fiscal Year to Agent for its reasonable approval.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent's approval shall not be required with
respect to the Residential Component after the Condominium Conversion occurs.
(j) Each Borrower shall furnish to Agent, within five (5) Business

further detailed information with respect to the operation of the Property and
the financial affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Agent.

(k) Agent shall have the right to distribute to Lenders each of the
items required by this Section 4.1.6 (each, a "REQUIRED FINANCIAL ITEM"), as
well as any and all financial information submitted by Tenants subject to the
restrictions, if any, imposed under the related Lease, including, but not
limited to, the specific restrictions contained in the Bloomberg Lease.
4.1.7 TITLE TO THE PROPERTY. Borrower will warrant and defend the
validity and priority of the Liens of the Building Loan Mortgage and the
Assignment of Leases on the Property and the Lien created pursuant to the Cash
Collateral Agreement on the Cash Collateral against the claims of all Persons

The Title Company, in its capacity as subrogee to Lenders' rights against
Borrower, shall not have the right to enforce this Section 4.1.7 against
Borrower.
4.1.8 ESTOPPEL STATEMENT. (a) After request by Agent, Borrower shall
within five (5) Business Days furnish Agent with a statement, duly acknowledged
and certified, stating (i) the unpaid principal amount of the Building Loan
Note, the Supplemental Loan Note and the Project Loan Note, respectively, (ii)
the Applicable Interest Rate of the Note, (iii) the date installments of
interest and/or principal were last paid on the Note, (iv) any offsets or
defenses to the payment of the Total Debt, if any, and (v) that this Agreement,
the Supplemental Loan Agreement and the Project Loan Agreement and the other
Loan Documents have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such
modification.
(b) After request by Borrower, Agent shall within ten (10) Business
Days furnish Borrower with a written statement that (i) the unpaid principal
amount of the Building Loan Note, the Supplemental Loan Note and the Project
Loan Note, respectively, (ii) the Applicable Interest Rate of the Note, (iii)
the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid on the Note,
and (iv) that this Agreement, the Supplemental Loan Agreement and the Project
Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents have not been modified or if
modified, giving particulars of such modification, provided that Borrower shall
not have the right to request such certificate from Agent more frequently than
two (2) times in any calendar year..
(c) After request by Agent, Borrower shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Agent an estoppel certificate from
each Tenant under any Lease; provided that such certificate may be in the form
required under such Lease; provided further that Borrower shall not be required
to use such efforts to obtain and deliver such certificates more frequently than
two (2) times in any calendar year.
4.1.9 LEASES. (a) All Leases and all renewals of Leases executed
after the date hereof shall (i) provide for a Net Effective Annual Rent at a
minimum Net Effective Annual Rental Rate on a per square foot basis as reflected
on SCHEDULE XXXII as such minimum Net Effective Annual Rental Rates may be
changed from time to time with the approval of Agent, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld provided that the same reflect then market conditions
and tenant improvements, tenant allowances and leasing commissions consistent
with the undisbursed amounts reserved for such anticipated costs in the Loan
Budget (unless Borrower otherwise complies with the balancing requirements of
Section 2.1.11) for such tenant improvements, tenant allowances and leasing
commissions), (ii) otherwise be on commercially reasonable terms, (iii) provide
that such Lease is subordinate to the Mortgage (which, in the case of a Major
Lease or any office Lease for an entire floor or any other retail Lease that is
expressly
-83-
approved by Agent, may be conditioned upon Agent's entering into a
Subordination, Non-disturbance and Attornment agreement in accordance with
Section 4.1.9(b) and that, upon the foreclosure of the Mortgage, sale by power
of sale thereunder or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, the Tenant will attorn to the
transferee of the Property; (iv) be prepared on the Approved Lease Form with
such modifications as are consistent with the market and that result from
arms-length negotiations that Borrower conducts in good faith; (v) be with
unaffiliated third party tenants, (vi) not contain any terms which would
materially adversely affect Agent's and/or Lenders' rights under the Loan
Documents, (vi) be for a minimum term of five (5) years (exclusive of any
renewals), and (vii) not require the payment or assumption by Borrower of any
lease take-over obligations of the Tenant under such Lease except to the extent
expressly consented to by Agent in advance (not to be unreasonably withheld)
(the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) above are collectively
referred to as the "LEASING PARAMETERS"). No leases of the Residential Component
or any space therein, or of any Residential Units shall be entered into without
Agent's prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that
such space will achieve a minimum weighted average effective rental rate of
$50.00 psf and Agent reasonably determines that Borrower's election to rent the
Residential Component or any space therein would not impair Borrower's ability
to repay the Loan upon maturity. Agent acknowledges having received and approved
Borrower's Approved Lease Form for office space at the Property and Agent agrees
that such form, with such changes as shall be reasonably necessary to reflect
that fact that the premises demised thereunder is for retail use rather than
office use, shall be acceptable to Agent provided that such changes shall be
submitted to Agent for its reasonable approval prior to Borrower's using such
form at the Property for retail space.
(b) All Major Leases and all renewals, amendments and modifications
thereof executed after the date hereof shall, prior to execution, be subject to
Agent's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld provided that the
proposed Tenant is creditworthy (as determined by Agent in its reasonable
discretion) and such Lease complies with the Leasing Parameters. Upon request,
Agent shall enter into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement
(substantially in the form annexed hereto as SCHEDULE XXVIII) with any Tenant,
for any approved Major Lease or for any other office Lease for an entire floor
of space in the Building or for any other retail Lease provided in each case
that Agent shall have expressly approved such Lease (not to be unreasonably
withheld) regardless of whether such approval would otherwise have been required
hereunder. Borrower shall not permit or consent to the assignment of any Major
Lease without Agent's prior consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless and
except to the extent the right to assign without Borrower's consent is already
reserved to the tenant thereunder in any Major Lease in existence on the date of
this Agreement or the right to assign without Borrower's consent under a
specific circumstance (such as mergers or consolidations) is included within the
approved Leasing Parameters.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Section 4.1.9:
(i) whenever Agent's approval or consent is required pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 4.1.9, Borrower shall have the right to submit
a term sheet of such transaction to Agent for Agent's approval, such
approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any such term sheet
submitted to Agent shall set forth all material terms of the proposed
transaction, including, without limitation, identity of tenant, square
footage, term, rent, rent credits, abatements, work allowances and tenant
improvements to
-84-
be constructed by Borrower and shall be accompanied by financial
information and statements for the proposed tenant if available to
Borrower at such time. Agent shall use good faith efforts to respond
within ten (10) Business Days after Agent's receipt of Borrower's written
request for approval or consent of such term sheet and, if available, such
tenant financials. If Agent fails to respond to such request within ten
(10) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second written request by Notice
(specially marked in accordance with Section 10.6) and Agent fails to
respond to such second request before the expiration of five (5) Business
Days after Agent's receipt of such second request, then such proposed
terms as set forth on such proposed term sheet shall be deemed to have
been consented to or approved;
(ii) whenever Agent's approval or consent is required pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Lender has not
previously approved a term sheet and tenant financials pursuant to Section
4.1.9(c)(i) above, Agent shall use good faith efforts to respond within
ten (10) Business Days after Agent's receipt of Borrower's written request
for such approval or consent. If Agent fails to respond to such request
within ten (10) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second written request
by Notice (specially marked in accordance with Section 10.6) and Agent
fails to respond to such second request before the expiration of five (5)
Business Days after Agent's receipt of such second request, Agent shall be
deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which Agent's
consent or approval was sought;
(iii) whenever Agent's approval or consent is required pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Agent has
previously approved a term sheet pursuant to Section 4.1.9(c)(i) above,
Agent shall use good faith efforts to respond within five (5) Business
Days after Agent's receipt of Borrower's written request for such approval
or consent together with the proposed Lease, provided that such request
shall be accompanied by tenant financials unless previously furnished to
Agent with the term sheet. If Agent fails to respond to such request
within five (5) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second written request
by Notice (specially marked as provided in Section 10.6), Agent shall be
deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which Lender's
consent or approval was sought if Agent fails to respond to such second
request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period,
provided that there have been no material deviations from the term sheet
and that the aggregate economics of the transaction are no less favorable
to Borrower than as set forth in the term sheet;
(iv) in the event that Agent shall have approved (or be deemed to
have approved) a term sheet submitted by Borrower with respect to a
certain Lease, Agent shall not withhold its approval or consent with
respect to such Lease on the basis of any provisions of such Lease dealing
with the items contained in the approved term sheet (it being understood
that nothing in this clause (iv) limits Agent's obligation to approve
Major Leases or renewals, amendments and modifications thereof under
Section 4.1.9(b)); and
(v) Borrower shall have the right, without the consent or approval
of Lender in any instance, to terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease
(except for a Required Lease) in the case of a bona fide breach or default
by a Tenant of a material obligation
-85-
under its Lease which breach has continued beyond the expiration of any
applicable notice, grace or cure period or, with the approval of Agent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld) for any other bona fide sound
business reason.
(d) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed
upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall
enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the
part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially
reasonable manner; provided, however, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to
Section 4.1.9(c)(v), Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of any
Lease without Agent's prior approval (which approval in all cases other than a
Required Lease, shall not be unreasonably withheld); (iii) shall not collect any
of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits
and the first month's rent upon signing); (iv) shall not execute any assignment
of lessor's interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the
Loan Documents); and (v) shall not alter, modify or change any Lease (unless as
changed such Lease would nevertheless satisfy the Leasing Parameters then in
effect hereunder and such Lease is not a Major Lease, is not a Lease as to which
Agent shall have entered into a Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment
Agreement or a Lease as to which Agent's approval was initially required) or
grant any option for additional space or term (unless the grant of any such
option if exercised would not constitute a Major Lease or require the approval
of Agent under this Section 4.1.9 had it been entered into as a direct lease
rather than an option), without in each case the prior approval of Agent, which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(e) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Agent with executed copies
of all Leases, certified as true and complete by Borrower.
(f) Upon request, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Borrower will cause any and all tenant security deposits, whether cash or cash
equivalents, to be maintained with or held by Agent. Agent shall hold such
deposits in an account that complies with applicable Legal Requirements.
4.1.10 ALTERATIONS. Upon completion of the Improvements, Agent's
prior approval shall be required in connection with any alterations to any
Improvements that may (a) have a material adverse effect on Borrower's financial
condition, the value of the related Property or the Pro Forma NOI, (b) result in
a reduction of the square footage of the improvements and/or (c) adversely
affect the use or operation of the related Improvements, provided that Agent's
prior approval shall not be required in connection with any alterations to any
improvements in the Residential Component after any Condominium Conversion
occurs or to any tenant improvements pursuant to Leases which have been approved
(or deemed approved) by Agent or for which no approval was required in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts
incurred and to be incurred with respect to any alterations to the Improvements
or after any Condominium Conversion to the Commercial Component shall at any
time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Agent
as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for
Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash,
(ii) U.S. Obligations or (iii) other securities (including a Letter of Credit)
acceptable in all respects to Agent. Such security shall be in an amount equal
to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be
-86-
incurred with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other than such
amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the
Alteration Threshold. The provisions of this Section 4.1.10 shall not pertain
with respect to a Restoration for which the provisions of Article V are intended
to govern.
4.1.11 FINANCIAL COVENANTS. During each Extension Period, the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for the Property, calculated as of the first day of each
calendar quarter during each Extension Period (each such day, a "DETERMINATION
DATE"), shall not be less than 1.3 to 1.0 (the "MINIMUM DSCR"). If on any
Determination Date the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property shall be
less than the Minimum DSCR (a "TRIGGER EVENT"), Borrower shall deposit with
Agent all Net Cash Flow received by Borrower during the period (the "CASH TRAP
PERIOD") while the Trigger Event continues and until such time as such Trigger
Event has not existed for a period of six (6) consecutive months, and such Net
Cash Flow shall be held by Agent pursuant to Section 6.1 (the amounts deposited
with Agent pursuant to this Section 4.1.11 are referred to herein as the "NCF
FUNDS"). In the event that a Trigger Event shall continue for a period of three
(3) consecutive calendar quarters (including the calendar quarter in which the
Trigger Event occurs) (a "CONTINGENT AMORTIZATION TRIGGER EVENT"), the NCF Funds
being held by Agent and all NCF Funds thereafter received by Agent during the
Cash Trap Period shall be applied by Agent first to the payment of any accrued
and unpaid interest on the Loan and then to reduce the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan until and to the extent necessary to restore the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for the Property to the required Minimum DSCR for a
period of six (6) consecutive months following the Contingent Amortization
Trigger Event. All such payments shall be applied to reduce the outstanding
principal balance of the Project Loan, the Supplemental Loan and/or the Building
Loan in such order and in such priority as Agent shall determine in its sole
discretion. The failure of the Property to maintain a Debt Service Coverage
Ratio on any Determination Date of at least the Minimum DSCR shall not
constitute a Default unless Borrower fails to thereafter deposit all Net Cash
Flow during the Cash Trap Period as required herein.
4.1.12 UPDATED APPRAISAL. Upon the written request of Agent,
Borrower shall promptly reimburse Agent for the reasonable cost of an updated
appraisal of the Property as Agent may require, in form and substance and
conducted by an appraiser satisfactory to Agent and its internal appraisal staff
in all respects; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to
reimburse Agent for an updated FIRREA standard appraisal of the Property more
frequently than once every two (2) years.
4.1.13 FACILITY FEE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE. Borrower shall pay to
Agent the Up-Front Fee and the Administrative Fee in accordance with the Loan
Fee Letter.
4.1.14 INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AGREEMENT. (a) Not later than six
(6) months following the Closing Date, or within ten (10) Business Days after
request of Agent if prior to such time the 30-day LIBO Rate shall be greater
than 5.5%, Borrower shall obtain and at all times thereafter during the initial
term of the Loan, Borrower shall maintain in effect an Interest Rate Protection
Agreement having a term coterminous with the initial term of the Loan, with an
initial notional amount equal to the amount of the Loan or, if the Loan is not
then fully funded, having an increasing notional amount, with increases to be
based on the draw schedule for the Loan (with the intent that, to the extent
reasonably practicable, the notional amount applicable
-87-
from time to time shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and
that if it does not, Borrower shall, upon request by Agent, amend the Interest
Rate Protection Agreement to increase the notional amounts) and with a
Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Agent having a Minimum Counterparty
Rating. If Borrower obtains one (1) interest rate cap, the LIBOR strike rate
under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be equal to or less than the
Capped LIBOR Rate calculated on an annual basis, or if Borrower obtains more
than one (1) interest rate cap, the blended LIBOR strike rate under the Interest
Rate Protection Agreement, as determined by Lender, shall be equal to or less
than the Capped LIBOR Rate. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be in
form and substance substantially similar to the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement in effect as of the date hereof. In the event of any downgrade or
withdrawal of the rating of such Counterparty by any Rating Agency below a
credit rating from S&P and Fitch of at least "A" and from Xxxxx'x of at least
"A2", Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Protection Agreement not later
than thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade
or withdrawal with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in
this Section 4.1.14) from a Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Lender having
a Minimum Counterparty Rating. Borrower shall have the right to pay the premium
for the Interest Rate Protection Agreement from the Interest Reserve.
(b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the
terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement. Borrower shall
take all action reasonably requested by Agent to enforce Agent's rights under
the Interest Rate Protection Agreements in the event of a default by
Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights
thereunder.
(c) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Agent, pursuant to an
Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement substantially in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT C-2, all of its right, title and interest to receive
any and all payments under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement (and any
related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Agent an executed counterpart of
such Interest Rate Protection Agreements, notify the Counterparty of such
collateral assignment and obtain the agreement (either in such Interest Rate
Protection Agreement or by separate instrument) of such Counterparty to make any
payments to become payable under or pursuant to the Agreement directly to Agent
until such time as the Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement is
terminated or otherwise canceled. At such time as the Loan is repaid in full,
all of Agent's right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement shall terminate and Agent shall execute and deliver at Borrower's sole
cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Agent's release
of the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and to notify the Counterparty of
such release. If Agent receives any payments under the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement (other than a payment by reason of a termination event thereunder or
any other payment during the existence of an Event of Default), Agent shall have
the right to hold the same, deposit the same in a cash collateral account as
additional security for the Loan and to apply same to the payment of accrued and
unpaid interest on any Payment Date. If Agent receives any payments under the
Interest Rate Protection Agreement during the existence of an Event of Default
or by reason of a termination event under the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement, Agent shall have the right to hold same, to deposit same in such cash
collateral account or to apply same to any portion of the Debt in any order it
desires or, if the Interest Rate Protection Agreement has been partially or
wholly terminated, to apply same to the
-88-
cost of acquiring another interest rate protection agreement in form and
substance, and from a counterparty, satisfactory to Agent in all respects.
(d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to
Agent the Interest Rate Protection Agreement as and when required hereunder,
Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Protection Agreements and the cost incurred
by Agent in purchasing the Interest Rate Protection Agreements shall be paid by
Borrower to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such
cost was incurred by Agent until such cost is paid to Agent.
(e) Borrower's failure to comply with any or all of the foregoing
covenants set forth in this Section 4.1.14 (within ten (10) Business Days after
notice thereof is given by Agent to Borrower) shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder.
4.1.15 CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT. Borrower shall (i) enforce
the Construction Management Agreement in the best interests of the Improvements
using sound business judgment, (ii) waive none of the material obligations of
any of the parties thereunder, (iii) do no act which would relieve Construction
Manager from its material obligations to construct the Improvements according to
the Plans and Specifications and (iv) make no amendments to or change orders
under the Construction Management Agreement, except as permitted under Section
4.2.13, without the prior approval of Agent which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall from time to time, upon request by Agent,
use reasonable efforts to cause Construction Manager to provide Agent with
reports in regard to the status of construction of the Improvements, in such
form and detail as reasonably requested by Agent.
4.1.16 ARCHITECT'S CONTRACT. Borrower shall (i) enforce the
Architect's Contract in the best interest of the Improvements using sound
business judgment, (ii) waive none of the material obligations of Borrower's
Architect thereunder, (iii) do no act which would relieve Borrower's Architect
from its material obligations under the Architect's Contract and (iv) make no
amendments to the Architect's Contract without the prior approval of Agent which
approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower shall from time to time,
upon request by Agent, cause Borrower's Architect to provide Agent with reports
in regard to the status of construction of the Improvements, in such form and
detail as reasonably requested by Agent.
4.1.17 INSURANCE. Borrower shall maintain in effect at all times
while Borrower is indebted to Lenders for the Loan the insurance policies
required by this Agreement. The proceeds of any insurance shall be applied in

with any opinion expressed, advice given or information, certificate or report
furnished or provided by the Construction Consultant to Agent or any other
person or party, and (v) Agent reserves the right to replace the Construction
Consultant with another construction consultant at any time and without prior

(b) To review Draw Requests and change orders; and
(c) To make periodic inspections (approximately at the date of each

The fees of the Construction Consultant shall be paid by Borrower
within thirty (30) days after billing therefor and expenses incurred by Agent on

4.1.25 CORRECTION OF DEFECTS. Borrower shall promptly correct all
defects in the Improvements or any departure in any material respect from the
Plans and Specifications not previously approved by Agent to the extent required
hereunder. Borrower agrees that the advance of any proceeds of the Building Loan

Specifications are discovered by, or brought to the attention of, Agent shall
not constitute a waiver of Agent's right to require compliance with this
covenant.
4.1.26 BOOKS AND RECORDS. Borrower shall keep and maintain detailed,
complete and accurate books, records and accounts reflecting all items of income
and expense of Borrower in connection with the Property and the construction of

permitted under Article VIII, Borrower shall not subject the Property or any
part thereof to any easement, restriction or covenant (including any restriction
or exclusive use provision in any lease or other occupancy agreement) without
the prior approval of Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Agent
agrees that it will subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage to any easement,
restriction or covenant approved by Agent. With respect to any and all existing
easements, restrictions, covenants or operating agreements which benefit or
burden the Property and any easement, restriction or covenant to which the
Property may hereafter be subjected in accordance with the provisions hereof,

Advance (subject, however, to Section 2.9.1(e)(xiv).
4.1.33 OWNERSHIP OF PERSONALTY. Borrower shall furnish to Agent, if
Agent so requests, photocopies of the fully executed contracts, bills of sale,

after their incorporation in the Improvements, unless authorized by Agent in
writing and in advance or otherwise permitted in accordance with Section 4.2.14.
4.1.36 FURTHER ASSURANCE OF TITLE. Borrower shall further assure
title as follows: If at any time Agent has reason to believe in its reasonable
opinion that any Advance is not secured or will or may not be secured by the
Building Loan Mortgage as a first priority lien or security interest on the
Improvements (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances), then Borrower shall,
within ten (10) days after written notice from Agent, do all things and matters
necessary (including execution and delivery to Agent of all further documents
and performance of all other acts which Agent reasonably deems necessary or
appropriate) to assure to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent that any Advance
previously made hereunder or to be made hereunder is secured or will be secured
by the Building Loan Mortgage as a first priority lien or security interest with
respect to the Improvements (subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances).
Lenders, at Agent's option, may decline to make further Advances hereunder until
Agent has received such assurance. The Title Company, in its capacity as
subrogee to Lenders' rights against Borrower, shall not have the right to
enforce this Section 4.1.36 against Borrower.
4.1.37 CONDOMINIUM. The provisions of this Section 4.1.37 shall
apply in the event that Borrower elects to convert the Property to a condominium
form of ownership:
(a) Borrower shall submit to Agent an offering plan, which offering
plan and all documents contained therein have been reasonably approved by Agent
(the "OFFERING PLAN"), for the establishment of condominium ownership of the
Property, prior to Borrower's submitting said Offering Plan to the New York
State Department of Law for review and acceptance for filing. To the extent
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower shall include in the
-94-
Offering Plan and/or other appropriate Condominium Documents a provision that
for the purpose of Section 339-cc of the New York Real Property Law, the
specified percentage of unit owners means such percentage in common interest in
the aggregate and not such percentage in number of units in the aggregate.
Borrower shall, subject to Agent's prior approval (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed), promptly submit all amendments and supplements to such
plan required by Legal Requirements to the New York State Department of Law.
Borrower promptly shall obtain acceptance for filing of the Offering Plan, as so
amended or supplemented, by the New York State Department of Law. If Agent
disapproves an amendment, it shall furnish Borrower with a written statement
setting forth the reasons for disapproval. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Agent's consent shall not be required for price change amendments that increase
prices or for immaterial or ministerial amendments that are otherwise required
by the Department of Law or amendments required to conform to changes in the
Condominium Act (including any regulations promulgated thereunder).
(b) The form of Qualifying Contract contained in the Offering Plan
shall be subject to Agent's approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. If permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Qualifying
Contract shall provide that it may be terminated by Borrower in the event that a
material Casualty (including any Casualty that affects 25% or more of the
Building) shall occur prior to the closing of title thereunder.
(c) Borrower shall cause the Condominium Documents to comply with
all applicable Legal Requirements.
(d) Borrower shall comply with all Legal Requirements in connection
with the offering and sale of Residential Units.

agent set forth in the Offering Plan, or another escrow agent reasonably
acceptable to Agent, and shall not withdraw such deposits for any purpose except
as expressly provided in the applicable Qualifying Contract, or in accordance
with Legal Requirements or the Condominium Documents. Borrower shall assign its
rights therein to Agent pursuant to the Conditional Assignment of Condominium
Documents. If permitted under applicable law, Borrower shall designate Agent as
the depository bank with respect to escrow agent's holding of such deposits,
provided that Agent pays a market rate of interest on such deposits. Without
limiting the foregoing, Borrower shall not permit the proceeds of any such
deposits to be used to pay for construction or other costs related to the
Improvements, except to the extent that such deposit was expressly agreed to be
used for additional custom work under the applicable Qualifying Contract subject
to compliance with Legal Requirements.
(f) If the purchaser under any Qualifying Contract shall default in
performance of its obligations thereunder beyond all applicable grace, notice
and cure periods and Borrower shall retain the deposit thereunder as liquidated
damages, Borrower shall give prompt notice to Agent of such retention and shall
prepay the Loan in an amount equal to such deposit (net of collection and
brokerage expenses, if any); provided that until such time as Borrower shall
have retained the first $140,000,000 of Required Release Prices in accordance
with Section 4.1.37(j)(i)(H), Borrower shall have the right to retain such
deposits to be applied against
-95-
Borrower's right to retain the first $140,000,000 of Required Release Prices as
hereinafter provided. Borrower shall be required to retain any such deposit in
respect of any Qualifying Contract that was necessary in order to satisfy the
conditions set forth in Section 2.1.5(b)(ix) or Section 2.1.5(c)(iv).
(g) Without the prior written consent of Agent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld), Borrower shall not:
(i) prior to a Condominium Conversion, amend, modify, supplement or
terminate any of the Condominium Documents, other than an amendment,
modification or supplement which merely increases the price of any
Residential Unit or that is otherwise required by the Department of Law or
amendments required to conform to changes in the Condominium Act
(including any regulations promulgated thereunder), but, in any case,
Agent shall be given notice of any such amendment, modification or
supplement and shall not vote its shares to do any of the foregoing after
a Condominium Conversion without such consent and notice;
(ii) sell or offer for sale any Residential Units except in
compliance with the Condominium Documents and all applicable Legal
Requirements;
(iii) enter into any contract for the sale of any Residential Unit
unless (A) the same is a bona fide, unconditional (subject to clause (G)
of this paragraph) contract in the form included in the Offering Plan with
such changes to such form as may be negotiated by Borrower in good faith
and on an arm's length basis, provided that such changes shall not
contravene any of the requirements provided for in this Agreement for such
contract to qualify as a Qualifying Contract or otherwise materially
adversely affect Agent or Lenders, (B) the purchaser thereunder is not an
affiliate of Borrower except as otherwise permitted under Section
4.1.37(g)(vi), (C) the sale price is greater than or equal to the Minimum
Release Price, (D) the sale price is payable in full by bank or certified
check or wire transfer of immediately available funds at closing, (E) the
Offering Plan has been accepted for filing with the New York State
Department of Law, (F) the purchaser under be required to deposit with the
escrow agent under the Offering Plan a cash amount equal to not less than
ten percent (10%) of the purchase price (or a letter of credit in such
amount) and such contract shall provide that such amount shall be retained
by Borrower as liquidated damages upon default beyond all applicable
grace, notice and cure periods by the purchaser of its purchase obligation
under such contract and (G) such contract shall be subject to no
conditions (other than financing contingencies and completion of
construction) upon the purchaser's obligation (except for customary title
conditions and Legal Requirements, including rights of rescission required
by law);
(iv) (A) amend, modify or supplement any Qualifying Contract in any
material manner or in any manner which would materially adversely affect
Borrower, Agent, Lenders or the Property, or terminate any Qualifying
Contract (except for default on the part of a purchaser thereto but with
prompt notice to Agent), or permit any of the foregoing actions to be
taken or (B) release any deposit under any Qualifying Contract, except in
each case, in accordance with the terms of such Qualifying Contract and
this Agreement or as otherwise required by Legal Requirements or the
Department of Law or
-96-
amendments required to conform to changes in the Condominium Act
(including any regulations promulgated thereunder);
(v) declare the Offering Plan effective before Borrower has entered
into Qualifying Contracts for at least 25% percent of the Residential
Units (which, for purposes hereof, shall not include contracts of sale
with Vornado or any other Affiliate of Borrower unless Agent shall have
consented thereto) or abandon or materially change its plan for submission
of the Property to the condominium form of ownership except that to the
extent permitted by Legal Requirements, if requested to by Agent, Borrower
shall terminate, rescind and take such steps as shall be necessary to
unwind the Condominium Conversion with respect to the Property if prior to
the sale of the first Residential Unit, a Casualty occurs, the Bloomberg
Lease terminates by reason of such Casualty and pursuant to the
Condominium Act the Building is nevertheless required to be restored; or
(vi) enter into any contract for sale of any Residential Units to
Vornado or any other Affiliate of Borrower unless (A) such contract would
otherwise qualify as a Qualifying Contract, and (B) such contracts are on
market arms-length terms; except that (I) for the purposes of Sections
2.1.5(b) and (c) not more than 10% of the Qualifying Contracts or Required
Release Prices shall be or relate to contracts with Vornado or any other
Affiliate of Borrower or Vornado and (II) the requirements of clause (B)
shall not apply with respect to up to 10% of the Residential Units
provided the Minimum Release Price for any such affiliated contract that
is not on market arms-length terms shall equal $800 per square foot of
space in the applicable Residential Unit.
(h) Agent shall, on Borrower's written request, contemporaneously
with Agent's release of the first Residential Unit from the liens of the
Mortgage, subordinate the lien of the Building Loan Mortgage, Supplemental Loan
Mortgage and the Project Loan Mortgage to the declaration of condominium for the
Land and Improvements and shall execute the appropriate instruments (reasonably
satisfactory in all respects to Agent) in recordable form to effect such
subordination, upon the satisfaction of the conditions enumerated below (so that
after giving effect to the filing of such subordination, the Mortgage
constitutes a lien only on the applicable Residential Units and the
corresponding interests in the common elements). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Agent shall subordinate the liens of the Mortgage to such declaration of
condominium at such earlier time, if any, that Borrower is required to file the
declaration of condominium pursuant to the Bloomberg Lease, provided that each
of the "Commencement Dates" under (and as defined in) the Bloomberg Lease shall
already have occurred and provided further that Borrower agrees that until the
sale of the first Residential Unit, Agent's and Lenders' rights under this
Agreement, including, without limitation, under Article V of this Agreement
shall not be impaired by such earlier filing.
(i) Agent shall have received and approved (not to be unreasonably
withheld) in all respects the Condominium Documents (to the extent not
previously approved in writing by Agent) which shall be in proper form for
recording or filing, as necessary, in the appropriate offices;
(ii) the title policy or policies insuring the Building Loan
Mortgage, Supplemental Loan Mortgage and the Project Loan Mortgage shall
have been endorsed to
-97-
provide affirmative insurance, to the effect that the Property constitutes
a condominium validly created under the Condominium Act and Agent shall
have received such endorsement' from the Title Company;
(iii) Borrower shall have duly executed and delivered, or caused to
be duly executed and delivered, to Agent (a) a conditional assignment of
Borrower's or the declarant's (if the declarant under the applicable
Condominium Documents is other than Borrower) rights under the Condominium
Documents ("CONDITIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF CONDOMINIUM DOCUMENTS") in the form
of SCHEDULE XXIV, (b) conditional resignations of the officers and members
of the board of directors of the applicable condominium association who
have been appointed or elected by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower in
the form of SCHEDULE XXV and (c) a letter from the person (if other than
Agent) who, pursuant to the Offering Plan, shall hold the deposits in
escrow under any contract of sale of any Residential Units in the form of
SCHEDULE XXVI;
(iv) Agent shall have received an opinion (upon which Agent and
Lenders and their respective successors and assigns may rely) from counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Agent to the effect that (A) the Condominium
Documents satisfy all applicable requirements of Governmental Authorities
and have been duly executed, (B) all requirements of any applicable
statute, rule or ordinance relating to the formation of the condominium
have been duly satisfied and, assuming the recording of the declaration of
condominium and the subordination of the Building Loan Mortgage,
Supplemental Loan Mortgage and Project Loan Mortgage to the declaration of
condominium, the condominium has been duly and validly created and is
existing in full force and effect and no filing, registration or other
compliance with any federal or state securities law or other Legal
Requirement will be required in connection with the sale of Residential
Units in New York State, or if such filing is necessary, that the
applicable Legal Requirement governing the same has been fully complied
with and (C) the assignment, resignations and agreements referred to in
clause (iii) of this subsection have each been duly authorized, executed
and delivered by the respective parties thereto and are enforceable
against said parties in accordance with their respective terms (the form
of opinion attached hereto as SCHEDULE XXIX is acceptable to Agent);
(v) the Offering Plan for the condominium (A) has been accepted by
all Governmental Authorities whose acceptance is required under any Legal
Requirements, and (B) has become effective; and
(vi) the condominium association which shall be created by the
Condominium Documents shall have furnished to Agent, at no cost or expense
to Agent, a blanket fire insurance policy with extended coverage naming
Agent, said condominium association, and purchasers of each Residential
Unit, as their respective interests may appear, as the insureds, covering
all of the Improvements for the full replacement value (other than
foundations); said fire insurance shall at all times be an amount equal to
100% of the insurable value of the Improvements (other than foundations)
and shall otherwise comply with the applicable conditions contained in
Article V of this Agreement and the other Building Loan Documents.
-98-

(j) (i) Provided that no Event of Default exists under this
Agreement, Agent shall release one or more Residential Units from the lien of
the Building Loan Mortgage, Supplemental Loan Mortgage and Project Loan Mortgage

UCC-1 financing statements executed by Borrower in favor of Agent covering such
Units) and deliver to Borrower a duly executed release(s) in recordable form, a
UCC-3 release of security interest and other such documents as may be reasonably
required to release the Residential Unit(s) from the lien and/or security

(C) Agent shall have received a copy of an executed
Qualifying Contract with reference to such Unit;
(D) Agent shall have received not less than five (5)
Business Days prior written notice of the proposed release

of such Unit and the Required Release Price;
(E) contemporaneously with such release there shall be a
sale of such Unit pursuant to an approved form of Qualifying
Contract;
(F) the Residential Unit to be released will constitute
one or more tax lots separate and distinct from the tax lot or
lots applicable to the remaining portion of the Property
encumbered by the liens of the Mortgage;
(G) neither the release from the liens of the Mortgage
nor the conveyance to the transferee of such Unit will violate
any applicable zoning or subdivision laws;
(H) Agent shall have received in cash or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds or by certified or
bank check payable to Agent the greatest of (x) the Minimum
Release Price for such Unit, (y) ninety percent (90%) of the
Gross Sales Proceeds for such Unit or (z) the Net Sales
Proceeds (the amount described in clause (x), (y) or (z), as
applicable, in respect of each Residential Unit being the
"REQUIRED RELEASE PRICE"), provided that so long as no
material Default and no
-99-
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and
provided further that at the time in question the ratio of (I)
Proforma NOI to (II) the sum of (1) the outstanding principal
balance of the Loan as of the first day of the First Extension
Period, and (2) the portion of the Loan that Lenders remain
obligated to fund (assuming that Borrower satisfies the
conditions precedent thereto), equals or exceeds 13%, Borrower
shall be entitled to receive and retain the Required Release

provide for, inter alia, (i) cross easements between the two parcels comprising

against either Commercial Owner or Residential Owner, Borrower agrees that it
will not adopt a foreclosure or bankruptcy strategy or interpose defenses
(including, without limitation, any defenses that the assets of Borrower must be
marshaled) which would oppose or contravene or otherwise interfere with the

sale as though both such parcels were but a single parcel owned by one owner.
Borrower acknowledges in connection with the foregoing that Agent and Lenders
(A) have entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Agreements and Lenders
have agreed to make the Loan in reliance on their ability to treat the Property
for collateral purposes as though it were a single parcel, (B) would not have
made a loan against either parcel independently of the other and (C) are
permitting the continued subdivision of the Property as two parcels with
separate ownership in each Borrower merely to accommodate Borrower's tax and
organizational needs. In furtherance of the foregoing, and in consideration for
Lenders agreeing to make the Loan, each Borrower agrees to include a provision
in its Organizational Documents that if either Borrower is involved in a
bankruptcy proceeding (voluntary or involuntary), at the request of Agent, the
other Borrower will file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy and support Agent in
seeking on behalf of Lenders or will itself seek on its own behalf procedural
consolidation of both proceedings, and such provision may not be amended or
modified without the consent of Agent (and will expressly so provide).

Contracts listed on SCHEDULE XXII satisfy the foregoing requirements of this
Section 4.2.6. Borrower shall not amend or permit the amendment of any Affiliate

instance, result in an increase or decrease in the cost of the

all such change orders (not previously approved by Agent and
Construction Consultant or not required in order to comply with the
Bloomberg Lease and required to be paid for by Bloomberg or for which
Borrower has deposited such incremental cost as hereinafter provided to
the extent of such incremental cost) at any given time, result in an
increase or decrease in the cost of the
-106-
Improvements of more than $10,000,000 then any and all subsequent
change orders (excluding any change order that Bloomberg has the right
to request under the Bloomberg Lease provided that Bloomberg is
required to pay for the same and any such change order for which
Borrower has deposited such incremental cost as hereinafter provided to
the extent of such incremental cost), regardless of amount, must be
previously approved by Agent and Construction Consultant as provided in
this Section 4.2.13 unless Borrower deposits with Agent the incremental
cost of such change order to the extent the same exceeds $10,000,000.
Any amounts deposited by Borrower hereunder in connection with a change
order shall be held by Agent in accordance with Section 2.1.11 and

accordance with Section 10.6) together with a copy of such proposed change
order, and Agent fails to respond to such second request before the expiration
of three (3) Business Days after Agent's receipt of such second request, then
such proposed change order shall be deemed consented to or approved on the terms
proposed.

Specifications (with such modifications as are reflected conceptually in the

guaranteed maximum price attachment to the Construction Management Agreement
approved by Agent and Construction Consultant. Borrower shall cause to be

reasonably acceptable to Agent prior to such Person's
commencement of work at the Property of such Person's own
coverage that meets the requirements set forth herein).
(ii) At all times after substantial completion of the Improvements:
(A) Insurance against loss customarily included under
standard "All Risk" policies including flood, earthquake,
vandalism, and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery, and
such other insurable hazards as, under good insurance
practices, from time to time are insured against for other
-110-
property and buildings similar to the Property in nature, use,
location, height, and type of construction (it being agreed
that the aforesaid coverage for flood and earthquake may a
$100,000,000 sublimit). Such insurance Policy shall also
insure costs of demolition and increased cost of construction
(which insurance for demolition and increased cost of
construction may contain a sublimit of $5,000,000). The amount
of such insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the replacement cost value of the improvements at
the Property. Each such insurance Policy shall contain an
agreed amount replacement cost endorsement and shall cover,
without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments
(except to the extent that the Tenant is required to insure
the same pursuant to the applicable Lease) on a replacement
cost basis. If the insurance required under this paragraph is
not obtained by blanket insurance policies, the insurance
policy shall be endorsed to also provide guaranteed building
replacement cost to the improvements at the Property and such
tenant improvements and betterments in an amount to be subject
to the approval of Agent, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Agent shall be named Loss Payee on a
Standard Mortgagee Endorsement.
(B) Rent loss and/or business interruption insurance
in an amount not less than the amount of gross rents payable
in a 12 month period and which shall provide an Extended
Period of Indemnity Endorsement for 180 days on an actual loss
sustained basis, provided that Borrower shall maintain such
insurance in an amount not less than the amount of gross rents
payable in a 24 month period and which shall provide an
Extended Period of Indemnity Endorsement for 180 days on an
actual loss sustained basis if such additional 12 month period
of coverage is available at an additional annual premium not
to exceed $300,000. Agent shall be named as Loss Payee as
respects this coverage.
(C) Comprehensive Boiler and Machinery coverage, with
a $20,000,000 minimum limit for all mechanical and electrical
equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements
loss, with exclusions for testing removed. Such coverage shall
include, without limitation, all tenant improvements and
betterments (except to the extent that the Tenant is required
to insure the same pursuant to the applicable Lease) and
include, without limitation, coverage for rental interruption
insurance on an actual loss sustained basis with an Extended
Period of Indemnity Endorsement for 180 days.
(iii) At all times during the term of the Loan:
(A) Public Liability insurance, including, without
limitation, Commercial General Liability insurance; Owned
Hired and Non-Owned Auto Liability; and Umbrella Liability
coverage for Personal Injury, Bodily Injury, Death, Accident
and Property Damage, providing in
-111-
combination no less than $50,000,000 per occurrence and in the
annual aggregate on per project basis, if aggregate limits are
shared with other locations the amount of Umbrella Liability
insurance to be provided shall be not less than $75,000,000.
The policies described in this paragraph shall cover, without
limitation: elevators, escalators, independent contractors,
Contractual Liability (covering, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, Borrower's obligation to indemnify Agent and
the Lenders as required under this Agreement), Products and
Completed Operations Liability coverage.
(B) Workers Compensation and Disability insurance as
required by applicable law.
(C) Such other types and amounts of insurance with
respect to the Property and the operation thereof that are
commonly maintained in the case of other properties and
buildings similar to the Property in nature, use, location,
height, and type of construction, as may from time to time be
reasonably required by Agent.
(iv) After the conversion of the Property to Condominium form
of ownership, Borrower shall cause the Condominium Association to
maintain the insurance provided for in this Section 5.1.1(a) until the
Loan is repaid in full.
(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 reasonable approval of Agent as to deductibles, loss payees and
insureds. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the
Policies theretofore furnished to Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing
the Policies and within thirty (30) days after commencement of the new or
renewal Policy evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent of payment of the
premiums due thereunder (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS"), shall be delivered by
Borrower to Agent in accordance with paragraph (g) below.
(c) Any required insurance may be procured under a blanket
insurance Policy covering the Property and other properties or assets of
Borrower or its affiliates, provided that any such blanket insurance Policy
shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to
time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would
a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions
of Section 5.1.1(a). Agent, in its reasonable discretion, shall determine
whether such blanket Policies provide sufficient limits of insurance.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by
Section 5.1.1(a) shall name Borrower as the insured and Agent (for the ratable
benefit of Lenders and their successors and/or assigns) as the additional
insured, and in the case of property damage, builder's risk, boiler and
machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York
standard non-contributing mortgagee clause or its equivalent in favor of Agent
(including Agent as mortgagee and loss payee) providing that the loss thereunder
shall be payable to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders and providing
thirty (30) days' advance
-112-
notice of cancellation to Agent. Loss of Rental Income insurance shall name
Agent (for the ratable benefit of Lenders and their successors and/or assigns)
as loss payee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower elects to convert the
Property to condominium form of ownership in accordance with Section 4.1.37,
from and after the Condominium Conversion, Agent's rights under this paragraph
(d) shall be subject to the terms of the declaration of condominium; however,
Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to designate Agent as the "Insurance
Trustee" under the Condominium Documents until the Loan is repaid in full.
(e) All Policies shall contain coverage for tenant
improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the
applicable Lease. All Property insurance also shall include a co-insurance
waiver and Agreed Amount Endorsement. The amount of any deductible under any
Policy must be reasonably acceptable to Agent. Without Agent's prior written
consent, Borrower shall not name any Person other than Agent, as loss payee, as
it pertains to the Property, nor shall Borrower carry separate or additional
insurance coverage covering the improvements at the Property concurrent in form
or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Agreement or;
provided that, if blanket policies are obtained, this sentence shall not apply
to property covered by such blanket policies other than the improvements at the
Property and such tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required
to insure pursuant to the applicable Lease loan.
(f) Each Policy shall contain a provision whereby the insurer:
(i) agrees that such Policy shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage,
deductible, and limits of such Policy shall not be modified, other provisions of
such Policy shall not be modified if such Policy, after giving effect to such
modification, would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such
Policy shall not be so modified, canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each
case, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, (ii) waives any
right to claim any Insurance Premiums and commissions against Agent, provided
that the Policy need not waive the requirement that the Insurance Premiums be
paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured and (iii) provides that
Agent is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy
upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums. In the event any
Policy (except for general public and other liability and Workers Compensation
insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such Policy shall not be
invalidated by and shall insure Agent for the benefit of Lenders regardless of
(A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties,
declarations or conditions contained in such Policy by any named insured, (B)
the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted
by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken
by Agent pursuant to any provision of the Mortgage or any other Loan Document.
(g) Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums for the Policies
as the same become due and payable. Borrower shall deliver to Agent certified
copies of the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a);
provided, however, Agent and Lenders shall not be deemed by reason of the
custody of such Policies to have knowledge of the contents thereof. Borrower
also shall deliver to Agent within ten (10) days after Agent's request, a
statement setting forth the particulars as to all such Policies, indicating that
all Insurance Premiums due thereon have been paid and that the same are in full
force and effect. Not later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the expiration
date of each Policy, Borrower shall deliver to Agent a certificate of insurance
evidencing renewal of coverage as required herein. Not later
-113-
than thirty (30) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the Policies,
Borrower shall deliver to Agent evidence of payment of Insurance Premiums for
such renewal or replacement Policies reasonably satisfactory to Agent and not
later than sixty (60) days after the renewal or replacement of each of the
Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Agent an original or certified copy (as
required pursuant to this paragraph) of a renewal or replacement Policy or
Policies.
(h) If at any time Agent is not in receipt of written evidence
that all insurance required hereunder is maintained in full force and effect,
Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation), upon not less than five (5)
Business Days prior notice to Borrower, to take such action as Agent deems
necessary to protect Lenders' interest in the Property, including, without
limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Agent in its reasonable
discretion deems appropriate and all Insurance Premiums incurred by Agent in
connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in
effect shall be paid by Borrower to Agent upon demand and until paid shall be
secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate.
(i) In the event of foreclosure of the Building Loan Mortgage
and/or the Supplemental Project Loan Mortgage and/or the Project Loan Mortgage
or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part
of the Total 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 (except, if the Condominium Conversion shall
have occurred, with respect to Policies maintained by the Condominium
Association, other than proceeds payable thereunder to Borrower as a Unit owner)
shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Agent or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
5.1.2 INSURANCE COMPANY. All Policies shall be issued by
financially sound and responsible insurance companies having a claims paying
ability rating of "A:X" or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or as otherwise
approved by Agent.
5.1.3 EXISTING POLICY. (a) Agent hereby confirms its approval
of the coverage provided under the existing comprehensive All Risk insurance
policy (the "EXISTING POLICY") maintained by Borrower with respect to the
Property, which expires on December 1, 2003 and which provides All Risk
coverage, including, without limitation, for "acts of terrorism" or other
similar acts or events, of $400,000,000 (the "EXISTING POLICY AMOUNT") with an
Agreed Amount Endorsement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the other Loan Agreements or any other Loan Document (including,
without limitation, the Guaranty of Completion), Agent's and Lenders'
obligations to make disbursements of the Loan proceeds pursuant to this
Agreement, the Supplemental Loan Agreement and/or the Project Loan Agreement
prior to December 1, 2003, shall not exceed, in the aggregate, the Existing
Policy Amount prior to December 1, 2003 (the "SPECIAL CAPPED LOAN AMOUNT").
(b) Following the expiration of the Existing Policy, Borrower
shall be required to maintain (or, if applicable, cause the Condominium
Association to maintain), at all times that the Loan remains outstanding, a
comprehensive All Risk insurance policy meeting the requirements set forth in
Section 5.1.1(a) above. Upon the renewal or replacement of the Existing Policy,
if "acts of terrorism" or other similar acts or events are hereafter excluded
from Borrower's comprehensive All Risk insurance policy, Borrower shall obtain
an endorsement to such Policy,
-114-
or a separate Policy from an insurance provider which maintains at least an
Investment Grade Rating from Xxxxx'x and/or S&P (provided that neither Xxxxx'x
or S&P rates such provider with less than an Investment Grade Rating), providing
insurance coverage for replacement cost and rental interruption against all such
excluded acts or events ("TERRORISM COVERAGE") on an agreed amount basis as is
available, (which amount shall not be required to exceed $490,000,000), and can
be purchased for an annual premium that does not exceed $2,700,000 (the "MAXIMUM
TERRORISM INSURANCE PREMIUM").
(i) If the Maximum Terrorism Insurance Premium purchases a
minimum of $150,000,000 of Terrorism Coverage on an agreed amount
basis, then Borrower shall pay to Agent, annually an additional fee
which shall be calculated as the product of (A) the positive
difference, if any, between (i) $340,000,000 and (ii) the actual amount
of Terrorism Coverage, and (B) .5% per annum.
(ii) If the Maximum Terrorism Insurance Premium purchases less
than $150,000,000 of Terrorism Coverage on an agreed amount basis, then
Borrower shall advise Agent and Agent shall determine whether Borrower
is required to purchase Terrorism Coverage in the amount that the
Maximum Terrorism Insurance Premium would purchase on an agreed amount
basis. In the event that Agent determines that Borrower is required to
purchase Terrorism Coverage in such amount, then Borrower shall pay to
Agent an annual fee in the amount of $950,000. In the event that Agent
determines that Borrower is not required to purchase Terrorism Coverage
in such amount, then Borrower shall pay to Agent an annual fee in the
amount of $2,700,000.
The endorsement or policy shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to Agent.
SECTION 5.2 CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.
5.2.1 CASUALTY. If the Improvements shall sustain a Casualty,
Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Agent and shall promptly
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of
the Improvements as nearly as possible to the condition the Improvements was in
immediately prior to such Casualty (a "RESTORATION") and otherwise in accordance
with Section 5.3. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or
not such costs are covered by insurance. Agent may, but shall not be obligated
to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
5.2.2 CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall give Agent prompt notice of
any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or
any part of the Property and shall deliver to Agent a copy of any and all papers
served in connection with such proceedings. Agent may participate in any such
proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Agent all
instruments requested by Agent to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at
its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with
Agent, 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 Building Loan Note and this Agreement, in the Supplemental Loan
Note and the Supplement Loan Agreement and in the Project Loan Note and the
Project Loan Agreement, respectively. Lenders shall not be limited to
-115-
the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Award interest and additional interest (if any)
at the rate or rates provided in this Agreement or in the Building Loan Note or
in the Supplemental Loan Agreement or in the Supplemental Loan Note or in the
Project Loan Agreement or in the Project Loan Note, as applicable. If the
Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower
shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the
Improvements and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. If the
Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by
Agent of the Award, Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency
judgment on the Building Loan Note, the Supplemental Note or the Project Loan
Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a
portion thereof sufficient to pay the Total Debt.
SECTION 5.3 DELIVERY OF NET PROCEEDS.
5.3.1 MINOR CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION. If a Casualty or
Condemnation has occurred to the Improvements 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 Agent to
Borrower. As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Net Proceeds
(but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation,
whichever the case may be, occurs) Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily
complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower elects to convert the
Property to condominium form of ownership in accordance with Section 4.1.37,
from and after the Condominium Conversion, Agent's rights and obligations with
respect to this Section 5.3.1 shall be subject to the terms of the declaration
of condominium.
5.3.2 MAJOR CASUALTY OR CONDEMNATION. (a) If a Casualty or
Condemnation has occurred to the Improvements, Borrower shall commence and
satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, provided that Agent, if required to pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement shall have made the Net Proceeds available to Borrower
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. If 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, Agent
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;
(ii) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than ten
percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such
land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and
no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;
(iii) the Bloomberg Lease shall remain in full force and
effect during and after the completion of the Restoration
notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
-116-
(iv) Agent shall be reasonably satisfied that (A) (I) if the
Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the
Improvements, the undisbursed amount of the Net Proceeds and the
undisbursed proceeds of the Loan and any Cash Collateral then being
held by Agent pursuant to the Cash Collateral Agreement (after Borrower
has elected to balance the Loan to the extent required in accordance
with Section 2.1.11 hereof) shall be sufficient to pay for the
remaining Building Loan Costs, Project Loan Costs and costs of the
Restoration, as determined by Agent in its sole but reasonable
judgment, or (II) if the Casualty or Condemnation occurs after the
Completion of the Improvements, (1) the undisbursed amount of the Net
Proceeds shall be sufficient to pay for the costs of completing the
Restoration or Borrower has deposited sufficient funds with Agent to
pay for any such deficiency or Borrower shall pay for such costs of
completing the Restoration, as incurred, in the amount of such
deficiency so that the undisbursed amount of the Net Proceeds shall be
sufficient to pay for the costs of completing the Restoration and (2)
any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under
the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from
(y) the Net Proceeds or (z) other funds of Borrower, and (B) (I) if the
Casualty or Condemnation occurs before the Completion of the Base
Building Work, Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be
completed and the Completion of the Base Building Work will be achieved
on or before the Initial Maturity Date or such earlier date as may be
required under the Bloomberg Lease, or (II) if the Casualty or
Condemnation occurs during the First Extension Period, Agent shall be
satisfied that the Restoration will be completed and Completion of the
Improvements will be achieved on or before the First Extended Maturity
Date or such earlier date as may be required for completion under the
Bloomberg Lease; and
(v) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration
(and, if applicable, completion of the Improvements) will be in
compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements.
(b) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Agent and held
by Agent in an interest-bearing 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 Agent to, or as directed by,
Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, promptly after
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that (i) all requirements
set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) all materials installed
and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for
out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been
paid for in full, and (iii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders,
mechanic's or materialman's liens or notices of intention to file same, or any
other Liens of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the
Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Agent
and discharged of record or, in the alternative, fully insured to the
satisfaction of Agent by the Title Company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with
the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable approval by Agent and by an
independent architect selected by Agent (which shall be the Construction
Consultant if the Casualty or Condemnation occurs prior to the Completion of the
Improvements) (the "CASUALTY CONSULTANT"). The identity of the
-117-
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well
as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to
reasonable approval by Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses
incurred by Agent 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 Agent be obligated to make disbursements
of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred
from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by
the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term "CASUALTY
RETAINAGE" shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman
engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs
actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by
the Casualty Consultant, until such time as fifty percent (50%) of the
Restoration has been completed as certified by the Casualty Consultant. The
Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount
actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen
engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until
the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the Restoration has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2(d) and in
accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements and Agent receives evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Agent 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 Agent 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 the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent
that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed
all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the
contractor's, subcontractor's or materialman's contract, 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 Agent or by the title company issuing the Title
Insurance Policy, and the conditions set forth in clauses (I), (II) and (III) of
Section 5.3.2(b) have been satisfied. If required by Agent, 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) Agent 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 Agent in consultation with the
Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which
are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the
completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall, at its option, (i) deposit with
Agent an amount equal to the deficiency (the "NET PROCEEDS DEFICIENCY"), (ii)
pay for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration, as incurred,
in the amount of the Net Proceeds Deficiency so that the amount of Net Proceeds
that remains to be disbursed shall be sufficient to pay all remaining costs of
the Restoration and Borrower shall furnish Agent with such evidence thereof as
Agent shall reasonably require, or (iii) post with Agent a Letter of Credit in
an amount equal to the Net Proceeds Deficiency, in any case, before any further
-118-
disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. If Borrower deposits Net
Proceeds Deficiency as aforesaid, the same with Agent shall be held by Agent 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. Borrower hereby agrees that Agent, for the
benefit of Lenders, shall have a Lien and security interest in any sums
deposited pursuant to clause (i) above and Borrower shall have no right to
withdraw any such sums except for the payment of the aforesaid costs of
Restoration as approved by Agent.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining
balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent after the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the Restoration has been completed
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by
Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that all costs incurred in
connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be
continuing under any of the Building Loan Documents and provided, however, that
with respect to an Award, no amounts shall be remitted to Borrower in excess of
the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent.
(h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for
the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds
pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Agent toward the
payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority
and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the
discretion of Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to
Borrower for such purposes as Agent shall designate.
(i) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Borrower elects to
convert the Property to condominium form of ownership in accordance with Section
4.1.37, from and after the Condominium Conversion, Agent's rights and
obligations with respect to this Section 5.3.2 shall be subject to the terms of
the declaration of condominium, provided that if a Casualty shall occur at any
time after such Condominium Conversion and before the Loan is repaid in full,
the following provisions shall be applicable. If, pursuant to the declaration of
condominium and the Condominium Act, the Net Proceeds must be applied to
Restoration and the conditions set forth in Section 5.3.2(a)(iii) has been
satisfied but any of the other conditions set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) shall
not have been satisfied, Agent (on behalf of Lenders) shall have the right to
declare the Loan or so much thereof as shall be advanced and outstanding and any
and all other sums due and owing under this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents immediately due and payable unless Agent shall have received a
completion guaranty from Vornado in form and substance substantially the same as
the Guaranty of Completion with respect to completion of the Restoration and a
carry guaranty from Alexander's in form and substance substantially the same as
the Guaranty of Carry Obligations with respect to the Carry Costs (as defined in
the Guaranty of Carry Costs) during the period of Restoration, in which case
(subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.3.2) Agent shall not have the
right to so declare the Loan due and payable by reason of the Net Proceeds being
so applied to the Restoration. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if
Section 339-cc of the Condominium Act shall be applicable and if the conditions
set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) shall not have been satisfied, then if Borrower
votes its interests to restore in accordance with said Section 339-cc, Agent (on
behalf of Lenders) shall have the right to declare the Loan or so much thereof
as shall be advanced and outstanding and any and all
-119-
other sums due and owing under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
immediately due and payable. In any event, if the condition set forth in Section
5.3.2(a)(iii) has not been satisfied, Agent (on behalf of Lenders) shall have
the right to declare the Loan or so much thereof as shall be advanced and
outstanding and any and all other sums due and owing under this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents immediately due and payable.
5.3.3 APPLICATION OF NET PROCEEDS. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Agent, at its option, may withdraw all the Net Proceeds or the
undisbursed balance thereof and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent and may apply the such Net Proceeds and
Net Proceeds Deficiency either to the payment of Restoration or to payment of
the Debt (without premium or penalty, but subject to Section 2.2.7) in such
order, proportion and priority as Agent may determine in its sole discretion.
Agent's right to withdraw and apply such Net Proceeds and Net Proceeds
Deficiency shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to
Agent under the Building Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
Borrower elects to convert the Property to condominium form of ownership in
accordance with Section 4.1.37, from and after the Condominium Conversion,
Agent's rights and obligations with respect to this Section 5.3.3 shall be
subject to the terms of the declaration of condominium.
5.3.4 DISBURSEMENT DIRECTION. Borrower hereby authorizes Agent
to disburse the Net Proceeds to Vornado instead of to Borrower at anytime that
Vornado is performing under its Guaranty of Completion or as otherwise required
pursuant to such Guaranty of Completion.
VI. NET CASH FLOW FUNDS
SECTION 6.1 DEPOSITS OF NCF FUNDS.
6.1.1 DEPOSIT OF NCF FUNDS. During any Cash Trap Period,
Borrower shall deposit with Agent all Net Cash Flow as provided in Section
4.1.11.
6.1.2 RELEASE OF NCF FUNDS. Provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to release of NCF Funds
at the end of a Cash Trap Period; provided that upon the occurrence of any
subsequent Trigger Event, Borrower shall again be required to deposit Net Cash
Flow with Agent in accordance with Section 4.1.11.
SECTION 6.2 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.

observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Management
Agreement on the part of Manager to be performed and observed. If Borrower shall

any sums and to perform any act as may be appropriate to cause all the material
terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of
Borrower to be performed or observed. The provisions of this Section 7.1 shall

Residential Units, Borrower shall not vote to enter into any agreement relating
to the management or operation of the Residential Component without the express
consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

or consent to the assignment by the Manager of its interest under the Management
Agreement, in each case without the express consent of Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, with respect to a new

fees substantially in the form of the Assignment of Management Agreement and
Subordination of Fees dated the Closing Date.

operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to enter into this
Agreement and make the Building Loan, the Supplemental Loan and the Project Loan

SECTION 9.2 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF AGENT AND LENDERS.
9.2.1 REMEDIES. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other
remedies available to Agent against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the
other Building Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Agent 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 Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure
proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under
any of the Building Loan Documents with respect to the Property or the Cash
Collateral. Any such actions taken by Agent shall be cumulative and
-127-
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may determine in its sole
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Agent permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Building Loan
Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees
that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, if an Event of Default
is continuing (i) Agent is not subject to any "one action" or "election of
remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to Agent shall remain in full force and effect until Agent
has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Building Loan
Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in
satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Agent shall have the right from time to time following the
occurrence of an Event of Default to partially foreclose the Building Loan
Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Building Loan Mortgage
then due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion including,
without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower
defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments of principal and interest, Agent may foreclose the Building
Loan Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Agent
elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the
Loan, Agent may foreclose the Building Loan Mortgage to recover so much of the
principal balance of the Building Loan as Agent may accelerate and such other
sums secured by the Building Loan Mortgage as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding
one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the
Building Loan Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Building Loan
Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the
Building Loan 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 Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of
evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Agent from time to time, promptly after the request
of Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Agent shall request
in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely
and irrevocably appoints Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an
interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or
desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its
said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Agent shall not
make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business
Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Agent of Agent's intent to
exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any
costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution,
recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan
Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not
contained in the Building Loan Documents and any such representations and
warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower
only as of the Closing Date or the date of the last Advance made hereunder or
under the Project Loan Agreement, whichever is later.
(d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may
declare Lenders' obligations to make Advances hereunder to be terminated,
whereupon the same shall terminate,
-128-
and/or declare all unpaid principal of and accrued interest on the Building Loan
Note, together with all other sums payable under the Building Loan Documents, to
be immediately due and payable, whereupon same shall become and be immediately
due and payable, anything in the Building Loan Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, and without presentation, protest or further demand or notice
of any kind, all of which are expressly hereby waived by Borrower; provided,
however, that Lenders may make Advances or parts of Advances thereafter without
thereby waiving the right to demand payment of the Building Loan Note, without
becoming liable to make any other or further Advances, and without affecting the
validity of or enforceability of the Building Loan Documents. Notwithstanding
and without limiting the generality of the foregoing or anything else to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Lenders' obligations to make Advances hereunder shall automatically
terminate.
(e) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, subject to
Agent's first providing Vornado with an opportunity to assume responsibility for
the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the Guaranty of
Completion, Agent may cause the Improvements to be completed and may enter upon
the Property and construct, equip and complete the Improvements in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications, with such changes therein as Agent may, from
time to time, and in its sole discretion, deem appropriate. In connection with
any construction of the improvements undertaken by Agent pursuant to the
provisions of this subsection, Agent may:
(i) use any funds of Borrower, including any balance which may
be held by Agent as security or in escrow, and any funds remaining
unadvanced under the Building Loan;
(ii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, including
Major Trade Contractors, agents, architects, engineers, and the like,
or terminate the same and employ others;
(iii) employ security watchmen to protect the Property;
(iv) make such additions, changes and corrections in the Plans
and Specifications as shall, in the judgment of Agent, be necessary or
desirable;
(v) take over and use any and all Personal Property contracted
for or purchased by Borrower, if appropriate, or dispose of the same as
Agent sees fit;
(vi) execute all applications and certificates on behalf of
Borrower which may be required by any Governmental Authority or Law or
Regulation or contract documents or agreements;
(vii) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills
and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be
necessary for the Completion of the Improvements or the clearance of
title to the Property, including, without limitation, all taxes and
assessments;
(viii)complete the marketing and sale of Residential Units and
Commercial Units, and complete the marketing and leasing of leasable
space in the Improvements,
-129-
enter into new leases and occupancy agreements of the Residential Units
or Commercial Units, and modify or amend existing leases and occupancy
agreements, all as Agent shall deem to be necessary or desirable;
(ix) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in
connection with the construction of the Improvements or in any other
way affecting the Property, the Improvements and take such action and
require such performance as Agent deems necessary under the Payment and
Performance Bonds; and
(x) take such other action hereunder, or refrain from acting
hereunder, as Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time
to time determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out
the intent of this Section 9.21.
Borrower shall be liable to Agent for all costs paid or incurred for the
construction, completion and equipping of the Improvements, whether the same
shall be paid or incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section or
otherwise, and all payments made or liabilities incurred by Agent hereunder of
any kind whatsoever shall be deemed advances made to Borrower under this
Agreement and shall be secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and the other
Building Loan Documents.
To the extent that any costs so paid or incurred by Agent,
together with all other Advances made by Lenders hereunder, exceed the Building
Loan Amount, such excess costs shall be paid by Borrower to Agent on demand,
with interest thereon at the Default Rate until paid; and Borrower shall execute
such notes or amendments to the Building Loan Note as may be requested by Agent
to evidence Borrower's obligation to pay such excess costs and until such notes
or amendments are so executed by Borrower, Borrower's obligation to pay such
excess costs shall be deemed to be evidenced by this Agreement. In the event
Agent takes possession of the Property and assumes control of such construction
as aforesaid, Agent shall not be obligated to continue such construction longer
than Agent shall see fit and may thereafter, at any time, change any course of
action undertaken by it or abandon such construction and decline to make further
payments for the account of Borrower whether or not the Property shall have been
completed. For the purpose of this Section, the construction, equipping and
completion of the Property shall be deemed to include any action necessary to
cure any Event of Default by Borrower under any of the terms and provisions of
any of the Building Loan Documents.
(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may
appoint or seek appointment of a receiver, without notice and without regard to
the solvency of Borrower or the adequacy of the security, for the purpose of
preserving the Property, preventing waste, and to protect all rights accruing to
Agent and/or Lenders by virtue of this Agreement and the other Building Loan
Documents, and expressly to do any further acts as Agent may determine to be
necessary to complete the development and construction of the Improvements. All
expenses incurred in connection with the appointment of such receiver, or in
protecting, preserving, or improving the Property, shall be charged against
Borrower and shall be secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and enforced as a
lien against the Property.
(g) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent may
accelerate maturity of the Building Loan Note and any other indebtedness of
Borrower to Lenders, and demand
-130-
payment of the principal sum due thereunder, with interest, advances, costs and
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses (including those for appellate
proceedings), and enforce collection of such payment by foreclosure of the
Building Loan Mortgage or the enforcement of any other collateral, or other
appropriate action.
9.2.2 POWER OF ATTORNEY. For the purposes of carrying out the
provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted by or
referred to in this Agreement, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and
perform any acts which are referred to in this Agreement, in the name and on
behalf of Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default. The power vested
in such attorney-in-fact is, and shall be deemed to be, coupled with an interest
and irrevocable.
9.2.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, the rights, powers and privileges provided in this Article IX and all
other remedies available to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or under any
of the other Building Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by
Agent and Lenders at any time and from time to time and shall not constitute a
waiver of Agent's or any of Lenders' other rights or remedies thereunder,
whether or not the Building Loan shall be due and payable, and whether or not
Agent shall have instituted any foreclosure proceedings or other action for the
enforcement of its rights under the Building Loan Documents.
9.2.4 ANNULMENT OF DEFAULTS. An Event of Default shall not be
deemed to be in existence for any purpose of this Agreement or any Loan Document
if Agent shall have waived such Event of Default in writing or stated that the
same has been cured to its reasonable satisfaction, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any of the rights
of Lenders upon the occurrence thereof.
9.2.5 WAIVERS. Borrower hereby waives to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law (a) all presentments, demands for payment or
performance, notices of nonperformance (except to the extent required by the
provisions hereof or of any other Building Loan Documents), protests and notices
of dishonor, (b) any requirement of diligence or promptness on Agent's or
Lenders' part in the enforcement of its rights (but not fulfillment of its
obligations) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Building Loan
Document, and (c) any and all notices of every kind and description which may be
required to be given by any statute or rule of law.
9.2.6 COURSE OF DEALING, ETC. No course of dealing and no
delay or omission by Agent, Lenders or Borrower in exercising any right or
remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right or
remedy and no single or partial exercise thereof shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. A waiver
on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or
remedy on any future occasion. No waiver or consent shall be binding upon
Lenders unless it is in writing and signed by Agent. Agent's exercise of Agent's
right to remedy any default by Borrower to Lenders or any other person, firm or
corporation shall not constitute a waiver of the default remedied, a waiver of
any other prior or subsequent default by Borrower or a waiver of the right to be
reimbursed for any and all of its expenses in so remedying such default. The
making of an
-131-
Advance hereunder during the existence of an Event of Default shall
not constitute a waiver thereof. All rights and remedies of Lenders hereunder
are cumulative. No Advance of Building Loan proceeds hereunder, no increase or
decrease in the amount of any Advance, and no making of all or any part of an
Advance prior to the due date thereof shall constitute an approval or acceptance
by Lenders of the work theretofore done or a waiver of any of the conditions of
Lenders' obligation to make further Advances, nor in the event Borrower is
unable to satisfy any such condition, shall any such failure to insist upon
strict compliance have the effect of precluding Lenders from thereafter refusing
to make an Advance and/or declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as
hereinabove provided. All Advances shall be deemed to have been made pursuant
hereto and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
The rights, powers and remedies of Agent under this Agreement
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which
Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Agent's rights, powers
and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Agent may determine in Agent'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.

term is to be satisfactory to Agent and/or any Lender, the decision of Agent
and/or such Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or

Lender, as applicable, and shall be final and conclusive.

Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Agent and/or
Lenders in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or
agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or

neither Agent nor Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any right either to

payment of any such other amount.

GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH 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. BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER
ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
SECTION 10.8 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 10.9 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 10.10 PREFERENCES.
Each 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 Agent or any Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set
aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under
any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then,
to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or
part thereof intended to be
-136-
satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such
payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.
SECTION 10.11 WAIVER OF NOTICE.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature
whatsoever from Agent or Lenders except with respect to matters for which this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the
giving of notice by Agent and/or Lenders 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 Agent and/or any 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 Agent and/or such Lender to
Borrower.
SECTION 10.12 REMEDIES OF BORROWER.
In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Agent
or any 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, Agent or such Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an
obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower's sole remedy shall be
limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory
judgment and neither Agent nor such Lender nor its agents shall be liable for
any monetary damages unless in a final judgment of a court having jurisdiction,
it is determined that Agent or such Lender not only acted unreasonably but
arbitrarily and capriciously and in bad faith as well. Any action or proceeding
to determine whether Agent or a Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined
by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Any expedited procedure legally
available with such a declaratory judgment action or action for injunctive
relief may be utilized to the extent possible.
SECTION 10.13 EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.
(a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, shall
reimburse Agent upon receipt of notice and demand from Agent, for all reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements)
incurred by Agent in connection with (i) Borrower's ongoing performance of and
compliance with Borrower's agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after
the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with
environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Agent's ongoing performance of
and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the
Closing Date; (iii) the preparation for and consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Agreements or for the performance
hereof and of the other Loan Documents, and for any services which may be
required in addition to those normally and reasonably contemplated hereby and
thereby or which may be required in the negotiation, preparation, execution and
delivery of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any subordination, non-disturbance
and attornment agreement or lease approvals, the release of Residential Units or
other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iv) the filing and recording
fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and
-137-
expenses of counsel for providing to Agent all required legal opinions, and
other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor
of Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing
or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting
or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case
against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents,
the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) enforcing any
obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in
connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements
provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or of any insolvency
or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable
for the payment of any such costs and expenses to Agent to the extent the same
arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Agent.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent
and each Lender, each participant in the Loan, and their respective officers,
directors, partners, employees and agents (each, an "INDEMNIFIED PARTY") from
and against, and shall reimburse the affected Indemnified Party for, 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 expenses of counsel for
Agent in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial
proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Agent shall be designated a
party thereto) (collectively, "LOSSES"), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or
asserted against such Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out
of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material
misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan or (iii) any
other matter arising from this Agreement or the Loan (collectively, the
"INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES"); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any
obligation to such Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such
Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or
willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. 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
such Indemnified Party.
(c) In case any such claim, action or proceeding (a "CLAIM")
is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification may
be sought by such Indemnified Party pursuant hereto, Agent shall give prompt
written notice thereof to Borrower, which notice shall include all documents and
information in the possession of or under the control of Agent and such
Indemnified Party relating to such Claim and shall specifically state that
indemnification for such Claim is being sought under this Section 10.13;
provided, however, that the failure of Agent to so notify Borrower shall not
limit or affect such Indemnified Party's rights to be indemnified pursuant to
this Section 10.13 except to the extent Borrower is materially prejudiced by
such failure. Upon receipt of such notice of Claim (together with such documents
and information from Agent and such Indemnified Party), Borrower shall, at its
sole cost and expense, in good faith defend any such Claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Indemnified Party (it being understood
that counsel selected by Borrower's insurance carrier shall be deemed to be
acceptable to Agent and such Indemnified Party, provided such insurer is an
acceptable
-138-
insurer under the Loan Documents or otherwise was accepted by Agent as an
insurer), which counsel may, without limiting the rights of Agent and such
Indemnified Party pursuant to the next succeeding sentence of this Section
10.13, also represent Borrower in such investigation, action or proceeding. In
the alternative, such Indemnified Party may elect to conduct its own defense
through counsel of its own choosing and at the reasonable expense of Borrower,
if (A) such Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the conduct of its
defense by Borrower could be materially prejudicial to its interests, (B)
Borrower refuses to defend, or (C) Borrower shall have failed, in such
Indemnified Party's reasonable judgment, to defend the Claim in good faith
(unless such Claim is being defended by Borrower's insurance carrier, provided
such insurer is an acceptable insurer under the Loan Documents or otherwise was
accepted by Agent as an insurer). Borrower may settle any Claim against such
Indemnified Party without such Indemnified Party's consent, provided (i) such
settlement is without any liability, cost or expense whatsoever to such
Indemnified Party, (ii) the settlement does not include or require any admission
of liability or culpability by such Indemnified Party under any federal, state
or local statute or regulation, whether criminal or civil in nature and (iii)
Borrower obtains an effective written release of liability for such Indemnified
Party from the party to the Claim with whom such settlement is being made, which
release must be reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Party, and a dismissal
with prejudice with respect to all claims made by the party against such
Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim. Agent and such Indemnified
Party shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, in connection with the defense or settlement of any Claim in accordance
with the terms hereof. If Borrower refuses to defend any Claim or fails to
defend such Claim in good faith (other than a Claim that is being defended by
Borrower's carrier, provided such insurer is an acceptable insurer under the
Loan Documents or otherwise was accepted by Agent as an insurer) and such
Indemnified Party elects to defend such Claim by counsel of its own choosing
Borrower shall be responsible for any good faith settlement of such Claim
entered into by such Indemnified Party. If such Indemnified Party reasonably
determines that the conduct of its defense by Borrower could be materially
prejudicial to its interests and elects to defend such Claim by counsel of its
own choosing, Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable settlement of
such Claim entered into by such Indemnified Party. Except as provided in the
preceding two (2) sentences, no Indemnified Party may pay or settle any Claim
and seek reimbursement therefor under this Section 10.13. Nothing contained
herein shall be construed as requiring Agent or any Indemnified Party to expend
funds or incur costs to defend any Claim in connection with the matters for
which Agent or any Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to
this Section 10.13. The obligations of Borrower hereunder shall specifically
include the obligation to expend its own funds, to incur costs in its own name
and to perform all actions as may be necessary to protect Agent or any other
Indemnified Party from the necessity of expending its own funds, incurring cost
or performing any actions in connection with the matters for which Agent or such
other Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.
SECTION 10.14 SCHEDULES AND EXHIBITS INCORPORATED.
The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby
incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set
forth in the body hereof.
-139-
SECTION 10.15 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES.
Any assignee of Agent's or any 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 10.16 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP; NO THIRD PARTY
BENEFICIARIES.
(a) Borrower, Agent and Lenders 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 Agent or Lenders nor to grant Agent or Lenders 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 Agent and Lenders and nothing contained in this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Agent and
Lenders any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of
any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the
obligations of Lenders to make Advances of the Building Loan hereunder are
imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Agent and Lenders and no other
Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in
accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Agent or Lenders will
refuse to make Advances of the Building 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 Agent on behalf of Lenders if, in Agent's sole
discretion, Agent deems it advisable or desirable to do so. In addition, no
Lender is the agent or representative of Borrower and this Agreement shall not
make any Lender liable to any Trade Contractor or any other Person for goods
delivered to or services performed by them upon the Property, or for debts or
claims accruing to such parties against Borrower and there is no contractual
relationship, either express or implied, between any Lender and any Trade
Contractor or any other Person supplying any work, labor or materials for the
Improvements.
SECTION 10.17 PUBLICITY.
(a) All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or
its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which
refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents
shall be subject to the prior reasonable approval of Agent except with respect
to disclosures that are required by law or applicable stock exchange
regulations.
(b) Agent shall have the right, subject to the prior
reasonable approval of Borrower except where disclosure is required by law or
applicable banking regulations, to issue
-140-
news releases, and publicize and/or advertise the fact that it has provided
financing with respect to the Property and in connection therewith Agent shall
have the right to photograph and use pictures of the Property in any such
advertisements, brochures, print, media and other copy.
(c) At Agent's request, Borrower, at Borrower's cost and
expense, shall erect a suitable sign or signs at the Property in a location
clearly visible to the public which shall indicate that financing for the
Property is being provided by Agent and Lenders and otherwise publicize Agent's
and each Lender's role in the financing. Borrower shall provide Agent with a
sign diagram showing the design plans and specifications for such sign, and it
shall be subject to Agent's prior written approval (not to be unreasonably
withheld). Agent shall coordinate the placement and maintenance of such signs on
the Property, and no Lender shall have any independent right to display any
signs on the Property. If after the initial sign is erected at the Property,
Agent requests that Borrower make any changes in such sign to reflect new
Lenders or otherwise and Borrower otherwise reasonably approves such change,
such changes to such sign shall be made by Borrower at Lenders' cost and
expense. Borrower shall have the right to remove any such sign after the
construction barricade at the Property is removed and shall have the right, from
time to time, at Borrower's cost and expense, to change any such sign to
accommodate construction requirements provided that as so changed, the sign
shall continue to publicize Agent's and each Lender's role in the financing in a
manner reasonably comparable to that provided by the sign prior to such change.
SECTION 10.18 [RESERVED.]
SECTION 10.19 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 Agent or Lenders or their agents or otherwise to offset any
obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by
Agent or Lenders 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 10.20 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS; RELIANCE.
In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and any of the other Building 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 Building Loan Documents and that such Building Loan
Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party that drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to
the Building Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors
in entering into the Building Loan without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of Agent or any Lender or any
parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Agent or such Lender. Neither Agent nor any
Lender shall be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any
rights or remedies available to it under any of the Building 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 Agent or such Lender
of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby
-141-
irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the
basis of the foregoing with respect to Agent's and/or Lenders' exercise of any
such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Agent and each Lender
engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate
transactions and investments that may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
SECTION 10.21 BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial
advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall
indemnify, defend and hold each Indemnified Party and its officers and directors
harmless from and against any Losses in any way relating to or arising from a
Claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection
with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21
shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment
of the Total Debt.
SECTION 10.22 PRIOR AGREEMENTS.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire
agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such
parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Summary of
Terms and Conditions dated April 25, 2002 between Borrower and Lender, are
superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.23 JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY.
If Borrower is comprised of more than one Person, all
representations, warranties, covenants (both affirmative and negative) and all
other obligations hereunder shall be the joint and several obligation of each
entity making up Borrower and a Default or Event of Default by any such Person
shall be deemed a Default or Event of Default by all such entities and Borrower.
The representations, covenants and warranties contained herein or in any other
Building Loan Document shall be read to apply to the individual entities
comprising Borrower when the context so requires but a breach of any such
representation, covenant or warranty or a breach of any obligation under the
Building Loan Documents shall be deemed a breach by all such entities and
Borrower, entitling Agent and/or Lenders, as applicable, to exercise all of
their rights and remedies under all the Building Loan Documents and under
applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained,
except as provided in any Guaranty or in the Environmental Indemnity, no direct
or indirect member of Residential Owner or Commercial Owner, nor any principal,
director, officer or employee of any such member, shall have any personal
liability under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 10.24 ASSIGNMENTS.
(a) Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior approval of Agent.
-142-
(b) No Lender shall assign, transfer, sell, pledge or
hypothecate all or any portion of its rights in and to the Loans to any other
Person (a Person to which any such assignment, transfer or sale is made in
accordance with this Article X being an "ASSIGNEE"):
(i) without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if the
Assignee is an Affiliate of such Lender and provided that such Lender
shall not be released from its continuing obligations hereunder after
such assignment to its Affiliate;
(ii) so long as no Event of Default shall exist, unless the
Assignee is an Affiliate of such Lender or is an Eligible Assignee, and
provided that such Lender shall not be released from its continuing
obligations hereunder after such assignment to its Affiliate;
(iii) unless such transaction shall be an assignment of a
constant and not a varying, ratable percentage of such Lender's
interest in the Loan;
(iv) unless the aggregate principal amount of the Loan which
is the subject of such transaction is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
or more;
(v) unless, after giving effect to such transaction, such
Lender's aggregate unassigned interest in the Loan shall be in a
principal amount of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) unless
such transaction encompasses all of such Lender's rights in and to the
Loan in which case such Lender shall have assigned all of its rights in
and to the Loan; and
(vi) in the case of an assignment, the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent, for its acceptance and
recording the Agent's Register, Agent's form of assignment and
acceptance agreement attached hereto as SCHEDULE XIII, with appropriate
completions (each, an "ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE"), together with a
processing and registration fee of $2,500, which fee shall cover
Agent's cost in connection with the assignments under this Agreement.
(c) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
subject to Section 11.4(f), Borrower's consent to any assignment or
participation to any party whatsoever shall not be required and all parties
hereto agree to promptly execute and file an amendment to this Agreement
reflecting any such assignment. Furthermore, if within seven (7) Business Days
after receiving a request pursuant to subparagraph (b) above for its consent to
any assignment or participation by any Lender, Borrower shall not have either
consented or withheld its consent (specifying the reasons therefor), then such
consent shall be deemed to have been given.
(d) Borrower agrees to execute, within ten (10) days after
request therefor is made by Agent, any documents and/or estoppel certificates
reasonably requested by Agent in connection with such participation or
assignment, without charge; provided that such documents and/or estoppel
certificates do not expand the liability or obligations of Borrower or reduce
assignee's or participant's obligations.
-143-
(e) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording,
from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance,
(x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party thereto and, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder
and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under
this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or
the remaining portion of an assigning Lender's rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party thereto).
(f) Agent shall maintain a register (the "AGENT'S REGISTER")
showing the identity of the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the
Agent's Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and
Borrower, Agent and the Lenders may (and, in the case of any portion of the Loan
or other obligation hereunder not evidenced by a Note, shall) treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of such portion of the Loan
or other obligation hereunder as the owner thereof for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, notwithstanding any notice to the
contrary. Any assignment of any portion of the Loan or other obligation
hereunder not evidenced by a Note shall be effective only upon appropriate
entries with respect thereto being made in the Register. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(g) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed
by an assigning Lender and an Assignee (and, in the case of an Assignee that is
not then a Lender or an affiliate thereof, by Borrower and Agent) together with
payment to Agent of a registration and processing fee of $2,500, Agent shall (i)
promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date
determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the
Agent's Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the
Lenders and Borrower.
(h) Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any
participant or Assignee of such Lender (each, a "TRANSFEREE") and any
prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's
possession concerning Borrower and its Affiliates which has been delivered to
such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has
been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with
such Lender's credit evaluation of Borrower and its Affiliates prior to becoming
a party to this Agreement, provided that any disclosure of Bloomberg's financial
statements may only be made in accordance with the terms of the Bloomberg Lease
and subject to the confidentiality requirements thereof with respect to the
same.
(i) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement
acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments relate
only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit
assignments creating security interests, including, without limitation, any
pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank
in accordance with applicable law.
-144-
(j) Borrower agrees that after the effective date under such
Assignment and Acceptance, upon the request to Agent by any Lender, Borrower
shall execute and deliver to such Lender one or more substitute notes of
Borrower evidencing such Lender's Ratable Share of the Building Loan,
Supplemental Loan and Project Loan, respectively, in substantially the same form
as the Building Loan Note, Supplemental Loan Note and Project Loan Note,
respectively, with appropriate insertions as to payee and principal amount. Each
such substitute note shall be dated as of the Closing Date.
(k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, HVB and Agent hereby agree for the benefit of Borrower that provided
no Event of Default exists, HVB shall not assign, without the consent of
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), a
portion of the Loan which shall result in the Ratable Share of HVB in its
capacity as a Lender being less than, for so long as Lenders continue to have
any further funding obligations hereunder, One Hundred One Million and No/100
($101,000,000) Dollars of the Maximum Loan Commitment.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Borrower shall not be responsible for the costs incurred by any
Lender, Assignee or Agent in connection with any such Assignment and Acceptance.
(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower consents to any assignment of
the Loan to Vornado or to any Person that is, directly or indirectly,
wholly-owned by Vornado.
SECTION 10.25 ADJUSTMENTS; SET-OFF.
(a) If any Lender (a "BENEFITED LENDER") shall at any time
receive any payment of all or part of its Ratable Share of the Loan, or interest
thereon, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 9.1(a)(viii), or otherwise including pursuant to
subsection (b) below), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or
collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other
Lender's Ratable Share of the Loan, or interest thereon, such benefited Lender
shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such
portion of each such other Lender's Loan, or shall provide such other Lenders
with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is
thereafter recovered from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be
rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a
portion of another Lender's Ratable Share of the Loan may exercise all rights of
payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such
portion as fully as if such Lender were the direct holder of such portion.
(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders
provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to
Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due
-145-
and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise) after the occurrence of an Event of Default to
set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and
any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time
held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the
credit or the account of Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify
Borrower and Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application.
SECTION 10.26 COUNTERPARTS.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute together
but one and the same agreement.
XI. AGENT
SECTION 11.1 PERFORMANCE BY AGENT.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Agent shall have the right, but not the duty, without limitation, upon any of
Agent's rights pursuant hereto, to perform the obligations of Borrower which are
the subject of the Event of Default, in which event Agent shall endeavor to give
notice to Borrower of Agent's performance, and Borrower agrees to pay to Agent,
within five (5) days of demand therefor, all actual and reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, including without limitation
reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest from the date of expenditure
at the Default Rate, if an Event of Default shall have given rise to such
expenditure. Upon demand by Agent each of the Lenders shall promptly advance to
Agent in immediately available funds its ratable portion of the funds expended
by Agent in curing such Event of Default together with interest thereon at the
Default Rate from the date of Agent's payment through the date prior to the date
on which such advance is received by Agent.
SECTION 11.2 ACTIONS.
If Agent shall have reasonable cause to believe that any
action or proceeding related to the Property could, if adversely determined,
have a material adverse effect upon the rights or interests of Agent and/or
Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Building Loan Documents, Agent
shall have the right to commence, appear in and defend such action or
proceeding, and in connection therewith Agent may pay necessary expenses, employ
counsel, and pay reasonable attorneys' fees. Borrower agrees to pay to Agent,
within thirty (30) days (or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, within five (5) days) after demand therefor by Agent, all actual and
reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith,
including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, together with interest
from the date of expenditure at the Default Rate, if an Event of Default shall
have given rise to such action or proceeding. Borrower's obligations to repay
such expenses shall be secured by the Building Loan Documents.
-146-
SECTION 11.3 NONLIABILITY OF AGENT AND LENDERS.
Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) any inspections of the construction of the Improvements
made by or through Agent or Lenders are for purposes of administration of the
Loan only and Borrower is not entitled to rely upon the same with respect to the
quality, adequacy or suitability of materials or workmanship, conformity to the
Plans and Specifications, state of completion or otherwise; Borrower shall make
its own inspections of such construction to determine that the quality of the
Improvements and all other requirements of such construction are being performed
in a manner satisfactory to Borrower and in conformity with the Plans and
Specifications and all other requirements; and Borrower shall immediately notify
Agent, in writing, should the same not be in conformity with the Plans and
Specifications and all other requirements;
(b) by accepting or approving anything required to be
observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan
Documents, including any certificate, statement of profit and loss or other
financial statement, survey, appraisal, lease or insurance policy, neither Agent
nor Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency,
legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision
or condition thereof and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not
constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Agent;
(c) neither Agent nor Lenders undertake nor assume any
responsibility or duty to Borrower to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass
judgment upon or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with the Property,
including, without limitation, matters relating to the quality, adequacy or
suitability of: (i) the Plans and Specifications, (ii) architects, contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen employed or utilized in connection with the
construction of the Improvements, or the workmanship of or the materials used by
any of them, or (iii) the progress or course of construction and its conformity
or nonconformity with the Plans and Specifications; and Borrower shall rely
entirely upon its own judgment with respect to such matters, and any review,
inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information to
Borrower by Agent or Lenders in connection with such matters is for the
protection of Agent and/or Lenders only and neither Borrower nor any third party
is entitled to rely thereon;
(d) neither Agent nor Lenders owe any duty of care to protect
Borrower against negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective building or
construction; and
(e) neither Agent nor any Lender shall be directly or
indirectly liable or responsible for any loss, claim, cause of action,
liability, indebtedness, damage or injury of any kind or character to any person
or property arising from any construction on, or occupancy or use of, any of the
Property, including without limitation any loss, claim, cause of action,
liability, indebtedness, damage or injury caused by, or arising from: (i) any
defect in any building, structure, grading, fill, landscaping or other
improvements, thereon or in any on-site or off-site improvement or other
facility therein or thereon; (ii) any act or omission of Borrower, the parties
comprising Borrower or any of Borrower's agents, employees, independent
contractors, licensees or invitees; (iii) any accident in or on the Land and
Improvements or any fire, flood or other casualty or hazard thereon; (iv) the
failure of Borrower, any of Borrower's licensees,
-147-
employees, invitees, agents, independent contractors or other representatives to
maintain the Property in a safe condition; and (v) any nuisance made or suffered
on any part of the Property.
SECTION 11.4 AUTHORIZATION AND ACTION.
(a) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent to take
such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan
Documents as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Any and all actions relating to
construction of the Improvements, including without limitation, approval of
changes to the Loan Budget, Plans and Specifications, contracts and subcontracts
and Payment and Performance Bonds, shall be deemed to have been delegated to
Agent exclusively and shall not constitute a Major Decision requiring the
approval of any other Lender. As to any matters not expressly provided for by
the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of
the Note), Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any
action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be
fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of
the Majority Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders;
provided, however, that Agent shall not be required to take any action which
exposes Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or
applicable law. Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each
material notice given to it by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan
Documents.
(b) By their execution of this Agreement, all of the Lenders
hereby authorize and direct Agent to act on their behalf in all respects in
connection with the Loan Documents and the making of the Loan (but subject to
paragraph (e) below) and agree with Borrower that Borrower shall only be
required to and shall only deal with Agent and each of the Lenders shall be
bound by any acts of Agent.
(c) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
Agent (i) shall take all such actions hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents which are not inconsistent with the terms hereof or thereof as the
Majority Lenders shall instruct and (ii) shall not take any material actions
hereunder or under the Loan Documents contrary to the instructions of the
Majority Lenders (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from
acting upon such instructions) and such instructions shall be binding upon all
Lenders; provided, however, that the Majority Lenders shall not have the right
to require any Lender to fund its Ratable Share of any amount which is Advanced
in excess of the total amount of the Loan. Any provision of this Agreement which
grants to Agent the right to make a decision at its sole discretion or in its
reasonable judgment or at its option or any other similar provision is intended,
unless the context shall clearly require otherwise, to apply only to relations
between Borrower and Agent and the respective rights and obligations of Borrower
and Agent hereunder and shall not apply to the relations between Agent and the
Lenders or the respective rights and obligations of Agent and the Lenders
hereunder.
(d) Promptly after Agent acquires actual knowledge thereof,
Agent will give written notice to each Lender of any Lien on the Property or
material Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which
in Agent's judgment adversely affects any of the Lenders' interests in the Loan.
Agent agrees to consult with Lenders in respect of any material remedial action
to be taken in respect of any such Default and shall act substantially in
-148-
accordance with any decision of the Majority Lenders (and shall be fully
protected in so acting). Agent agrees that during a period of forty-five (45)
days from Agent's notice to Lenders of any such Default, Agent will not take any
such material remedial action without the prior agreement of the Majority
Lenders unless in Agent's good faith judgment it is necessary to take more
prompt remedial action within such period, with or without the agreement of the
Majority Lenders, in order to preserve any collateral for the payment of the
Loan or substantive rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Agent
shall advise Lenders from time to time of such remedial action as Agent shall
have taken. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders do not agree
on the action to be taken, except as expressly set forth in this Section, Agent
reserves the right, in its sole discretion, in each instance, without prior
notice to Lenders, to consent to any action or failure to act by Borrower, and
to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights Agent may have under
or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents relative
thereto or any collateral therefor, which would be reasonable. All losses and
expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the Loan, the enforcement thereof
or the realization of the security therefor shall be borne by the Lenders in
accordance with their ratable interest in the Loan, and Lenders will, upon
request, reimburse Agent for their Ratable Shares of any expenses incurred by
Agent in connection with any such default, any advances made to pay Taxes or
Insurance Premiums or Other Charges or otherwise to preserve the lien of the
Supplemental Loan Mortgage, Building Loan Mortgage or Project Loan Mortgage or
to preserve and protect the Property or made to effect the completion of the
Improvements to be constructed pursuant to this Agreement (provided that Agent
shall not advance sums in excess of the principal amount of the Supplemental
Loan Mortgage, Building Loan Mortgage or Project Loan Mortgage for completion of
the Improvements without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders), any
other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Supplemental
Loan Mortgage, Building Loan Mortgage or Project Loan Mortgage, and any expenses
incurred by Agent in connection with the consummation of the Loan not paid or
provided for by Borrower.
(e) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, any
provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be modified or
supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by Borrower and Agent and
any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be waived by
Agent, provided that no modification, supplement or waiver shall, unless by an
instrument signed by all of the Lenders or by Agent acting with the consent of
all of the Lenders, (i) increase or extend the term of the Loan except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (ii) extend the date fixed for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Loan or the amount of any fee
payable hereunder (other than the Administrative Fee), (iv) reduce the amount of
any such payment of principal or of any such fee, (iii) reduce the rate at which
interest is payable on the Loan, (v) alter the terms of Section 10.25 or this
Section 11.4, (vi) release, substitute or exchange any material portion of the
collateral for the Loan except in accordance with the provisions of the Loan
Documents related thereto, (vii) modify the definition of the term "Majority
Lenders" or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders
required to make any determinations or receive any rights hereunder or to modify
any provision hereof or of any other Loan Document, (viii) modify or waive the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio or Loan-to-Value requirements set forth herein,
including without limitation modify the definition of the term "Debt Service
Coverage Ratio" or "Loan-to-Value," (ix) release any Guarantor or any other
Person liable on the Loan from any of their material obligations with respect to
the Loan or the completion of the Improvements,
-149-
(x) subordinate the Liens created by the Loan Documents to any other liens
securing indebtedness of Borrower or otherwise, (any such modification,
supplement or waiver described in this clauses (i) through (xi) and any other
action that expressly requires the consent of all Lenders hereunder is herein
referred to as a "MAJOR DECISION"); and provided further, that any modification
or supplement of Article XI hereof, or of any of the rights or duties of Agent
hereunder, shall require the consent of Agent. The provisions of this subsection
are solely for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and shall not create any
rights in Borrower. The provisions of this subsection are solely for the benefit
of the Lenders and Agent and shall not create any rights in Borrower.
(f) Provided Majority Lenders have designated a successor
agent as provided below, Majority Lenders shall have the right to remove Agent
for cause, by written notice to Borrower and Agent to be effective as to
Borrower only if, as and when such notice is actually received by Borrower and
Agent. If Agent shall resign as administrative agent hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents (which Agent may so resign upon thirty (30) days written
notice to Borrower and each Lender), or if the Majority Lenders shall remove
Agent, then the Majority Lenders shall designate another Lender to perform the
obligations and exercise the rights of Agent hereunder. The successor Agent
shall assume such obligations in writing and from and after Borrower's receipt
of a copy of notice of such replacement and receipt of a copy of such assumption
the successor Agent shall be the sole Agent hereunder and the term "AGENT" shall
thereafter refer to such successor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HVB agrees
for the benefit of Borrower that it shall not resign as Agent prior to the
Initial Maturity Date for so long as (i) Lenders continue to have any further
funding obligations hereunder, (ii) no Event of Default exists, (iii) HVB is
generally engaged in the business of being an administrative agent for
construction loans in the United States and (iv) the other Lenders do not have
the right to remove HVB as Agent for cause as provided herein.
SECTION 11.5 AGENT'S RELIANCE, ETC.
Agent shall administer this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and service the Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and with the same degree of care as Agent would use in servicing
a loan of similar size and type held for its own account; provided, however,
that none of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection
with this Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent: (i) may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for Borrower), independent public
accountants and other experts selected and shall not be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice
of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or
representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or
in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall not have any duty to ascertain or
to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of this Agreement on the part of Borrower or to inspect the Property
(including the books and records) of Borrower; (iv) shall not be responsible to
any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other instrument or
document furnished pursuant hereto; and (v) shall incur no liability under or in
respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or
other
-150-
instrument or writing (which may be by telecopier, telegram, cable or telex)
believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.
SECTION 11.6 AGENT AS A LENDER.
With respect to Agent's ownership interest in the Loan and the
Loan Documents as a Lender, Agent in its capacity as a Lender shall have the
rights and powers of a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
as set forth herein and therein and may exercise the same as though it were not
Agent.
SECTION 11.7 DISTRIBUTION OF PAYMENTS BY AGENT TO LENDERS.
Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Ratable
Share of any payment on account of principal or interest or any extension fee
received by Agent by credit to an account of such Lender at Agent or by wire
transfer to an account of such Lender in accordance with written wiring
instructions received by Agent from such Lender, or to such other Person or in
such other manner as such Lender may designate, provided any other designated
account is maintained at a commercial bank located in the United States of
America. If any payments are received by Agent after 11:00 a.m. (New York time),
then provided Agent shall not be able to distribute to each Lender its Ratable
Share of any such payment on the same day as such payment is received by Agent,
Agent shall hold such payment to the extent not so distributed for the benefit
of the respective Lenders ratably, shall invest any such Lender's Ratable Share
not so distributed in overnight federal funds for the benefit of such Lender and
such Lender shall be entitled to receive its Ratable Share of such payment
together with interest earned thereon on the following Business Day. The
provisions of this Section 11.7 are subject to the terms and conditions set
forth in Section 2.10.4(c) as to any Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 11.8 ASSIGNMENT UPON REPAYMENT
Upon repayment or prepayment of the Loan in full by Borrower
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Lenders shall, on a one-time basis, assign the Note and Agent shall assign the
Mortgage, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or
implied, (except if any Lender is not delivering the original Note, in which
case such Lender shall execute and deliver a "lost note affidavit" in its
customary form with respect to the copy of its Note) to such new mortgagee
designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or a nominee of Borrower); provided
that Borrower (i) has caused to be paid the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of
Agent and Lenders incurred in connection therewith and Agent's and Lenders'
reasonable attorneys' fees for the preparation, delivery and performance of such
an assignment, (ii) has caused the delivery of an executed Statement of Oath
under Section 275 of the New York Real Property Law; and (iii) has provided such
other information and documents which a prudent mortgagee would reasonably
require to effectuate such assignment. Borrower shall be responsible for all
mortgage recording taxes (if any), recording fees and other charges payable in
connection with any such assignment.
