(b) All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall be made on or before 2:00 p.m. New York City time. Any payments received after such time shall be credited to the next following Business Day.
(c) All amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, other than the Principal Amount, together with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents. In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by Borrower, Lender may, at its option, first apply any payments received under the Note to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the Loan Documents, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
(d) The entire Principal Amount, all unpaid accrued interest (including all Applicable Interest) and all other fees and sums then payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation the Yield Maintenance Premium (if applicable), shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
(e) Amounts due hereunder shall be payable, without any counterclaim, setoff or deduction whatsoever, at the office of Lender or its agent or designee at the address set forth on the first page of this Agreement or at such other place as Lender or its agent or designee may from time to time designate in writing.

2.2.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the outstanding Principal Amount due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the “Late Payment Charge”) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due under the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
2.3 Prepayments.
2.3.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the Payment Date occurring in January, 2017 (the “Lockout Expiration Date”) and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Lender (provided such notice shall be revocable at any time and for any reason by Borrower and may be adjourned on a day-to-day basis on reasonable notice to Lender, but Borrower shall pay any actual reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such revocation and/or adjournment), prepay the entire Principal Amount in whole (but not in part) without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or other penalty or premium; provided, that as a condition precedent to such prepayment, Borrower shall also cause (i) First Mezzanine Borrower to prepay the entire Principal Amount (First Mezzanine) in whole in accordance with the terms of the First Mezzanine Loan Agreement and (ii) First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to prepay the entire Principal Amount (Mortgage) in whole in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, in each case simultaneously with such prepayment of the entire Principal Amount. If Borrower prepays the entire Principal Amount, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Principal Amount, all Applicable Interest. Except in connection with a prepayment of the Floating Rate Component (Mortgage) as expressly permitted under the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall not consent to or permit, or allow First Mezzanine Borrower to consent to or permit, a prepayment of the Mortgage Loan or the First Mezzanine Loan (other than in connection with the simultaneous repayment of the Loan, in its entirety and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents and the Senior Loan Documents, respectively), unless it obtains the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be given or withheld by Lender in its sole discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Proceeds in accordance with Section 6.2.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (a) such Proceeds shall be applied to prepay the Principal Amount to the extent of the Release Price for the affected Individual Property in accordance with the terms
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
40
hereof, and such amount prepaid by Borrower shall result in a corresponding reduction of the Release Price and the Combined Release Price of the affected Individual Property, (b) Borrower shall pay to Lender all Applicable Interest, and (c) Borrower shall pay (without duplication) all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with such prepayment (including without limitation, any reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Proceeds applied by each Senior Lender and Lender in accordance with Section 6.2.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (together with any other prepayment or defeasance permitted under this Agreement and any Senior Loan Agreement) equal or exceed the Combined Release Price for the applicable Individual Property, then Lender hereby agrees that Borrower shall be entitled to cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain a Property Release for such Individual Property consistent with, and subject to, the terms of Section 6.2.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and neither the release of such Individual Property from the Lien of the applicable Security Instrument and related Loan Documents and Mortgage Loan Documents, the Transfer of such Individual Property or the amendment of the Master Lease pursuant to Section 3.2.6(a)(xiv) of the Master Lease shall be deemed an Event of Default hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.
2.3.3 Prepayments After Event of Default; Application of Amounts Paid. If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Indebtedness and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made only on the next occurring Payment Date together with all Applicable Interest and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, interest that has accrued at the Default Rate and any Late Payment Charges, (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower, and (c) to the extent that the same would, if a prepayment, be prohibited under Section 2.3.1, Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the greater of (i) three percent (3%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied (excluding any portion thereof evidenced by Defeased Notes), or (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium in respect of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid or satisfied (excluding any portion thereof evidenced by Defeased Notes).
2.3.4 Reserved.

If Borrower has repaid the entire Principal Amount in accordance with Section 2.3.1 or Section 2.3.3 and paid to Lender all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, then Lender shall release the Lien of this Agreement and the Pledge upon the Collateral (or assign it (together with the Note), in whole or in part, to a new lender without representation, warranty or recourse). In such event, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such release or assignment, a release of lien or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such Collateral for execution by Lender. Such release or assignment, as applicable, shall be in a form satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, as applicable.

(b) Upon Total Defeasance Event. If Borrower has defeased the Loan in its entirety in accordance with Section 2.4.1, and paid to Lender all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, then Lender shall release the Lien of this Agreement and the Pledge upon the Collateral (or assign it to a new lender without representation, warranty or recourse), and the U.S. Securities constituting the Total Defeasance Collateral, pledged pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement, shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note.

2.5 Regulatory Change; Taxes.
2.5.1 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or compliance of Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the company Controlling Lender shall be subject to (i) any Tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement (excluding taxation of the overall net income of Lender or the company Controlling Lender); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of Lender or any company Controlling Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; and Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by Lender or any company Controlling Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender upon Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent Lender determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan; provided, however, that with respect to the period during which the Loan is held by a Securitization trust, Borrower’s liability under this Section 2.5.1 shall be limited to the Increased Costs to which such Securitization trust itself is subject, if any. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.5.1, Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that Lender furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. In the event that Borrower is required to pay any Increased Costs in accordance with the terms hereof, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Principal Amount (together with all Applicable Interest) without the imposition of any Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.5.2 Special Taxes. Borrower shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5.2) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5, Borrower shall not be liable for any amounts as a result of (a) withholding for Special Taxes or additional costs incurred as a result of the assignment of all or any portion of the Loan by Lender to any Person that is subject to Special Taxes at the time of such assignment, which Special Taxes exceed the Special Taxes to which the assignor is subject, and which is organized under or has its principal place of business outside of the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or (b) failure of Lender to comply with any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if (i) such compliance is required by law, regulation, administrative practice or an applicable treaty as a precondition to exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, deduction or withholding of any Special Taxes and (ii) at least thirty

(Second Mezzanine)
51
(30) days prior to the first Payment Date with respect to which Borrower shall apply this clause (b), Borrower shall have notified Lender that Lender will be required to comply with such requirement, provided, however, that the exclusion set forth in this clause (b) shall not apply in respect of any certification, identification, information, documentation or other reporting requirement if such requirement would be materially more onerous, in form, in procedure or in the substance of information disclosed, to Lender than comparable information or other reporting requirements imposed under U.S. Tax law, regulation and administrative practice (such as IRS Forms W-8BEN and W-9).
2.5.3 Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
2.5.4 Indemnity. Subject to the limitations in the last sentence of Section 2.5.2, Borrower shall indemnify Lender for the full amount of Special Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Special Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.5.4) paid by Lender and any liability (including penalties, interest, and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Special Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.5.5 Change of Office. To the extent that changing the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable office would have the effect of minimizing Special Taxes, Other Taxes or Increased Costs, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make such a change, provided that same would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender.
2.5.6 Survival. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.5 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.

(b) If for any reason there will be insufficient amounts in the Collateral Account on any Payment Date to pay the Mezzanine Loan Debt Service Amount due on such Payment Date, Borrower shall immediately deposit into the Collateral Account an amount equal to the shortfall of available funds. Any failure by Borrower to deposit the full amount required by the preceding sentence shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If Lender shall reasonably determine that there will be insufficient amounts in the Collateral Account to pay any Protective Advances as and when the same are due and payable, Lender shall provide written notice of same to Borrower setting forth the basis for such determination. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt of said notice, Borrower shall deposit into the Collateral Account an amount equal to the shortfall of available funds in the Collateral Account. Any failure by Borrower to deposit the full amount required by the preceding sentence within said five (5) Business Day period shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

(e) Borrower hereby also acknowledges that (i) Lender has the right to deliver notice to Mortgage Lender that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan Documents (a “Mezzanine Loan Default Notice”), and (ii) pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement, provided there is no Senior Loan Event of Default and to the extent Mortgage Lender has received a Mezzanine Loan Default Notice, Mortgage Borrower has irrevocably directed that all Excess Cash Flow is to be deposited directly into the Collateral Account for application as provided in this Agreement (in lieu of transferring such funds to the Mortgage Borrower’s Account if Mortgage Lender had not received a Mezzanine Loan Default Notice) until such time as Mortgage Lender receives a notice from Lender that such Event of Default is no longer continuing.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, payments or distributions made directly to or on behalf of any Senior Borrower or any Senior Lender, including the distribution or payment of any Asset Management Fee, pursuant to any of the Senior Loan Documents, and any funds distributed or paid to the Borrower’s Account pursuant to this Agreement, shall be free and clear of any lien of the Senior Loan Documents and the Loan Documents and may be paid, used, or distributed without the same being transferred to the Mortgage Collateral Account, the Collateral Account, or the First Mezzanine Collateral Account.
3.1.7 Cash Management Agreement Upon Repayment of Senior Loans. In the event that the Senior Loans have been fully repaid and the Loan has not been fully repaid, then Borrower shall, and shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to, enter into a cash management agreement with Lender, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (the “Replacement Cash Management Agreement”), that shall require, among other things, that Borrower and Mortgage Borrower establish certain accounts and reserves, and pledge such accounts and reserves to Lender as additional Collateral for the Loan, such that Lender has the same legal and economic rights and remedies as Mortgage Lender has under the cash management and reserve provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents, including without limitation, Article III of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Until such time as the Replacement Cash Management Agreement has been fully-executed, Borrower shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to continue to comply with the cash management and reserve provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents notwithstanding the repayment of the Mortgage Loan, provided that such performance by Mortgage Borrower shall be in favor of Lender rather than Mortgage Lender.

Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall have no duty as to any Account Collateral in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person or otherwise with respect thereto. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Account Collateral in its possession if the Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, it being understood that Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of Lender, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent that such loss or damage results from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall Lender be liable either directly or indirectly for losses or delays resulting from any event which may be the basis of an Excusable Delay, computer malfunctions, interruption of communication facilities, labor difficulties or other causes beyond Lender’s reasonable control or for indirect, special or consequential damages except to the extent of Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender, its employees and officers harmless from and against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to the Account Collateral except as such may be caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its employees, officers or agents.
(b) Lender shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by it in good faith to be genuine, and, in so acting, it may be assumed that any person purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so.

Borrower hereby represents and warrants that except as set forth in the environmental reports and studies delivered to Lender (the “Environmental Reports”), (i) neither Borrower nor any Senior Borrower has engaged in or knowingly permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, under, in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the course of legitimate business operations at the Property; (ii) to Borrower’s knowledge, no tenant, occupant or user of the Property, or any other Person, has engaged in or permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any material way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous Materials on, in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous Materials to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in material compliance with Environmental Laws and only in the course of legitimate business operations at the Property; (iii) no Hazardous Materials are presently constructed, deposited, stored, or otherwise located on, under, in or about the Property except in material compliance with Environmental Laws; (iv) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have migrated from the Property upon or beneath other properties which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower or any Senior Borrower; and (v) to Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials have migrated or threaten to migrate from other properties upon, about or beneath the Property which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for Borrower or any Senior Borrower.
12.2 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Subject to Mortgage Borrower’s right to contest under Section 7.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it shall, and shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower, and shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to, comply with all Environmental Laws. If at any time prior to the repayment in full of the Obligations, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous Materials in, around, or under the Property (an “Environmental Event”), Borrower shall deliver prompt notice
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
105
of the occurrence of such Environmental Event to Lender. Within thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge of the occurrence of an Environmental Event, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer’s Certificate (an “Environmental Certificate”) explaining the Environmental Event in reasonable detail and setting forth the proposed remedial action, if any. Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with copies of all notices which allege or identify any actual or potential violation or noncompliance received by or prepared by or for Borrower in connection with any Environmental Law. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “notice” shall mean any summons, citation, directive, order, claim, pleading, letter, application, filing, report, findings, declarations or other materials pertinent to compliance of the Property and Borrower with such Environmental Laws.
12.3 Environmental Reports. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Environmental Event with respect to the Property or any Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to have its consultants perform an environmental audit of the Property. Such audit shall be conducted by an environmental consultant chosen by Lender and may include a visual survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of hazardous or toxic waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the Property, an asbestos survey of the Property, which may include random sampling of the Improvements and air quality testing, and such further site assessments as Lender may reasonably require due to the results obtained from the foregoing. Borrower grants (and shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to grant) Lender, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter the Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances for the purposes of performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and shall be secured by the Lien of the this Agreement and the Pledge. Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with (and shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower not to unreasonably interfere with), and Lender shall direct the environmental consultant to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to hinder, Mortgage Borrower’s, Master Lessee’s, any Tenant’s or other occupant’s operations upon the Property when conducting such audit, sampling or inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified in and pursuant to this Section 12.3, Lender shall not be deemed to be exercising any control over the operations of any Senior Borrower or Borrower or the handling of any environmental matter or hazardous wastes or substances of any Senior Borrower or Borrower for purposes of incurring or being subject to liability therefor.
12.4 Environmental Indemnification. Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, costs or out-of-pocket expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) and any and all claims, suits and judgments which any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any Release, Threat of Release or the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the Release or Threat of Release at or from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Borrower. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender;
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
106
provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from any Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
12.5 Recourse Nature of Certain Indemnifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the indemnification provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully recourse to Borrower and shall be independent of, and shall survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created by the this Agreement and the Pledge and/or the conveyance of title to the Collateral to Lender or any purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure of this Agreement and the Pledge or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any one action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Pledge has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, take any action to cure such Event of Default. Lender may appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interests in the Collateral or to foreclose its security interest under this Agreement and the Pledge or under any of the other Loan Documents or collect the Indebtedness.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to the Account Collateral, Lender may:
(i) without notice to Borrower, except as required by law, and subject to Section 3.1.10, and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Account Collateral against the Obligations, operating expenses and/or capital expenditures for the Property or any part thereof;
(ii) in Lender’s sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand, collect, take possession of or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose or realize upon the Account Collateral (or any portion thereof) as Lender may determine in its sole discretion; and
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
115
(iv) take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(d) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Pledge then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Pledge to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Pledge as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Pledge to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the Pledge and not previously recovered.
17.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the Pledge shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower or Guarantor shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
17.4 Costs of Collection. In the event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Note or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors’ rights and involving a claim under the Note or any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Pledge or any of the Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Lender at the Default Rate (collectively, “Enforcement Costs”).
17.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the realization upon any of the Collateral, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
Mezzanine Loan Agreement

116

(b) Second, to all other Obligations in such order or preference as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion;
(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be distributed to Borrower.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Collateral Account subject to the provisions of Section 3.1.10(a).
(b) Subject to the non-recourse provisions of Section 18.1, Borrower shall protect, indemnify and save harmless Lender, and all officers, directors, stockholders, members, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, costs and expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses actually incurred) imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Parties or the Collateral or any part of its interest therein, by reason of the occurrence or existence of any of the following (to the extent Proceeds payable on account of the following shall be inadequate; it being understood that in no event will the Indemnified Parties be required to actually pay or incur any costs or expenses as a condition to the effectiveness of the foregoing indemnity) prior to (i) the acceptance by Lender or its designee of a transfer-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Collateral, or (ii) an Indemnified Party or its designee taking possession or control of the Collateral or (iii) the foreclosure of the Pledge, except to the extent caused by the actual willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Indemnified Parties (other than such willful misconduct or gross negligence imputed to the Indemnified Parties because of their interest in the Collateral): (1) ownership of Borrower’s interest in First Mezzanine Borrower, or receipt of any Rents or other sum therefrom, (2) any accident, injury to or death of any persons or loss of or damage to property occurring on or about the Property or any Appurtenances thereto, (3) any design, construction, operation, repair, maintenance, use, non-use or condition of the Property or Appurtenances thereto, including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Lender, any claim the insurance as to which is inadequate, and any Environmental Claim, (4) any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply, or to cause First Mezzanine Borrower, or to cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower, as applicable, to perform or comply with any of the terms of any Operating Agreement within the applicable
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
127
notice or grace periods, (5) any performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, (6) any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower or any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees, licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in Section 7.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (8) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance or discharge of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the landlord contained in the Subleases or the Master Lease, or (9) the presence at, in or under the Property or the Improvements of any Hazardous Materials in violation of any Environmental Law. Any amounts the Indemnified Parties are legally entitled to receive under this Section which are not paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by the Indemnified Parties or Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with such interest, be part of the Indebtedness and secured by the Pledge. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall at Borrower’s expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower’s reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Lender (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower’s expense for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided further that if Lender shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Lender. So long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower’s consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Lender agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 19.12 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified under this Section 19.12 without notice to and reasonable consent of Borrower.
19.13 Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

19.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note 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.
19.15 Liability of Assignees of Lender. No assignee of Lender shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or the Collateral or to which the Property or the Collateral is now or hereafter subject any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.15 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
19.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
19.17 Publicity. Each party shall endeavor to permit the other to review the initial press release relating to the Loan in order to provide the other with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.
19.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
129
of Borrower, Borrower’s members and others with interests in Borrower and of the Collateral, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
19.19 Waiver of Counterclaim and other Actions. Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge or any Loan Document, any and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge or any Loan Document and cannot be maintained in a separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding.
19.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
19.21 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, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive execution of this Agreement.
19.22 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, to the extent Lender or any Person who Controls Lender is a “venture capital operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, Lender shall have:
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
130
(a) upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior written notice to Borrower, the right to request and to hold a meeting at mutually agreeable times, and not more than four (4) times during any calendar year to consult with an officer of Borrower that is familiar with the financial condition of Borrower, each Senior Borrower and the operation of the Individual Properties and is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender regarding such significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower as are specified by Lender in writing in the request for such meeting; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances; and provided further that neither Borrower nor its designated representative shall be under any obligation to follow or implement any advice or recommendations of Lender. The rights of Lender provided in this Agreement are expressly limited to consultation, and shall not include any other rights or obligations, including without limitation, any right or obligation to supervise or conduct any aspect of Borrower’s business or operations; and
(b) the right, in accordance with the terms of Section 11.1 of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice, provided that any such examination shall be conducted so as not to unreasonably interfere with the business of Borrower, any Senior Borrower or any Tenants or other occupants of any Individual Property.
19.23 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
19.24 Direction of Senior Borrower with Respect to the Property or the First Mezzanine Collateral. Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that, as to any clauses or provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the effect that (i) Borrower shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, or shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower, to act or to refrain from acting in any manner, or (ii) Borrower shall cause to occur or not to occur, or otherwise be obligated in any manner with respect to, any matters pertaining to any Senior Borrower, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the Property, or (iii) other similar effect, such clause or provisions, in each case, is intended to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, that Borrower has undertaken to act and is obligated to act only in Borrower’s capacity as the direct or indirect sole member of Mortgage Borrower, or First Mezzanine Borrower, as applicable (which Mortgage Borrower, in turn, is the fee owner of the Property, and First Mezzanine Borrower, in turn, owns one hundred percent (100%) of the direct Equity Interests in Mortgage Borrower) but not directly with respect to any Senior Borrower, the First Mezzanine Collateral or the Property or in any other manner which would violate any of the covenants contained in Section 5.3 hereof or other similar covenants contained in Borrower’s organizational documents.
19.25 Senior Loan Estoppels. Borrower shall (or shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower, or shall cause First Mezzanine Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower, to), from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable Senior Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by such Senior Borrower with the terms of the applicable Senior Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that such Senior Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and the applicable Senior
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
131
Borrower expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding compliance by such Senior Borrower with the terms of the applicable Senior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to any Senior Loan which was misrepresented in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrower and the applicable Senior Borrower.
19.26 Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) Lender and each Senior Lender are parties to a certain Intercreditor Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, each Senior Loan, Borrower, each Senior Borrower, the Mezzanine Collateral and the Property. Borrower on behalf of itself and each Senior Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and each Senior Lender and (ii) Borrower and each Senior Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and each Senior Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(b) In the event Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to pay over to any Senior Lender any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which otherwise would have been applied to the Indebtedness, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan, then Borrower agrees that (i) any amount so paid shall be reinstated and shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Obligations, and (ii) to the extent that any amounts so paid cannot, by operation of law, be reinstated as set forth in clause (i) above, Borrower will indemnify Lender for such amounts; provided, however, that such reinstatement or indemnity will only apply to the extent that such amounts paid over to any Senior Lender are applied to the payment or performance of the applicable Senior Loan in accordance with the applicable Senior Loan Documents.
19.27 Discussions with Senior Lenders. In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Properties, the First Mezzanine Collateral, any Senior Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with any Senior Lender or any Senior Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or any other Loan Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or any other Loan Party.
19.28 Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by any Senior Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of each
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
132
Senior Lender in making the applicable Senior Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval each Senior Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view.

EXHIBIT B
Article 8 “Opt In” Language
Certification of Limited Liability Company Interests.
Shares. The name and address of, and the percentage of limited liability company interests held by the Member are set forth on Schedule B hereto, as the same may be amended from time to time. Each limited liability company interest in the Company shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and shall be governed by, (i) Article 8 (including Section 8-102(a)(15)) of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware (the “DEUCC”) and (ii) the corresponding provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the DEUCC, such provision of Article 8 of the DEUCC shall be controlling.
Share Certificates.
A Member’s limited liability company interest in the Company shall be represented by a Share Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto (a “Share Certificate”) issued to such Member by the Company. All of a Member’s Shares, in the aggregate, represent such Member’s entire limited liability company interest in the Company. The Member hereby agrees that its interest in the Company and in its Shares shall for all purposes be personal property. A Member has no interest in specific Company property.
Upon the issuance of Shares to any Member in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, without any further act, vote or approval of the Member, any Officer or any other Person, the Company, and the Member or any Officer on behalf of the Company, shall issue one or more Share Certificates in the name of such Member. Each such Share Certificate shall be denominated in terms of the percentage of Shares evidenced by such Share Certificate and shall be signed by the Member or an Officer on behalf of the Company. Each Share Certificate shall bear the following legend: “This certificate evidences an interest in New PRP Mezz 1, LLC and shall be a security for purposes of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware and the Uniform Commercial Code of any other jurisdiction.” This provision shall not be amended, and no such purported amendment to this provision shall be effective until all outstanding certificates have been surrendered for cancellation.
Without any further act, vote or approval of the Member, any Officer or any other Person, the Company shall issue a new Share Certificate in place of any
Exhibit B
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
Share Certificate previously issued if the holder of the Shares represented by such Share Certificate, as reflected on the books and records of the Company:
makes proof by affidavit, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, that such previously issued Share Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed;
requests the issuance of a new Share Certificate before the Company has notice that such previously issued Share Certificate has been acquired by a protected purchaser;
if requested by the Company, delivers to the Company a bond, in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, with such surety or sureties as the Company may direct, to indemnify the Company against any claim that may be made on account of the alleged loss, destruction or theft of the previously issued Share Certificate; and
satisfies any other reasonable requirements imposed by the Company.
Subject to the restrictions set forth in the Loan Documents, upon a Member’s Transfer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement of any or all Shares represented by a Share Certificate, the Transferee of such Shares shall deliver such Share Certificate to the Company for cancellation (executed by such Transferee on the reverse side thereof), and the Company shall thereupon issue a new Share Certificate to such Transferee for the percentage of Shares being Transferred and, if applicable, cause to be issued to such Member a new Share Certificate for that percentage of Shares that were represented by the canceled Share Certificate and that are not being Transferred. The Company shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the transfer of limited liability company interests. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a Transfer of Shares requires delivery of an endorsed Share Certificate.
Free Transferability. Except as limited by the Basic Documents (for so long as the Loan is outstanding and subject to Section 21), to the fullest extent permitted by the Act, any Member may, at any time or from time to time, without the consent of any other Person, Transfer, pledge or encumber any or all of its Shares. Subject to the restrictions of the Basic Documents (for so long as the Loan is outstanding and subject to Sections 21 and 23), the Transferee of any Shares shall be admitted to the Company as a substitute member of the Company on the effective date of such Transfer upon (i) such Transferee’s written acceptance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement and its written assumption of the obligations hereunder of the Transferor of such Shares, which shall be evidenced by such Transferee’s execution and delivery to the Company of an Application for Transfer of Shares on the reverse side of the Share Certificate representing the Shares being transferred, and (ii) the recording of such Transferee’s name as a substitute member on the books and records of the Company; provided, however, that if the Member Transfers all of its Shares pursuant to this Agreement, such admission shall be deemed
Exhibit B
Mezzanine Loan Agreement
(Second Mezzanine)
effective immediately prior to the Transfer, and immediately following such admission the transferor Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Any Transfer of any Shares in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement shall be effective upon registration of such Transfer in the books and records of the Company.
