Borrower shall deliver to Agent, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Loan closing, certified copies of certificates of insurance evidencing that the required coverage is in force, and thereafter at least 15 days before the expiration date of each such policy, Borrower shall deliver to Agent certified copies of the policies or certificates in form and content satisfactory to Agent. These certificates must provide that the insurance in force is not contributory, participating with, nor excess over any other insurance, unless such other insurance is part of and applicable to the same risk, with the knowledge of, and consent of Agent. Upon request by Agent, Borrower shall produce receipts evidencing payment of the current premiums.

(v)Waiver of Subrogation. The Property policies will contain a standard waiver of subrogation provision.
21

Each policy shall contain a provision obligating the insurer to send at least 30 days prior written notice to Agent notifying Agent of the intent to cancel or make such change, and that any loss otherwise payable to Agent thereunder shall be paid notwithstanding any act or negligence of Agent or Borrower which might, absent of such provision, result in a forfeiture of all or part of such insurance payment.
(vii)Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not purchase separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss, with the insurance required hereunder, without Agent's prior written consent.
(viii)Contravention of Insurance. Borrower will not intentionally do, allow or permit anything to be done on or about the Property that will affect, impair or contravene any policies of insurance that may be in force for the Property, or any part thereof, or the use thereof, against damage or destruction by fire, public liability, or any other cause of loss.

Any sums expended by Agent and/or the Lenders to procure such insurance shall be payable by Borrower on demand, and with interest; however, it is expressly understood that procurement by Agent and/or the Lenders of any such insurance shall not be deemed to waive or release the default of Borrower, or the right of Agent, at its option, to exercise the remedies set forth in the Mortgage upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Should Borrower fail to repay any such sums expended by Agent and/or the Lenders, Agent may add such sums to the outstanding Loan balance. Agent shall not be responsible for obtaining or maintaining any insurance required under the provisions of Section 8(a), and shall not, by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining any such insurance, incur any liability for the existence, nonexistence of, or insufficient coverage of such insurance, or from legal liability arising therefrom.

(xi)Notice of Transfer or Loss. Upon a change in ownership or use or occupancy of the Property, Borrower shall immediately notify, in writing, Agent, and all other parties insured under the policies herein, provided that nothing herein shall be construed to permit such change in ownership if otherwise prohibited under the provisions hereof. If a loss (defined herein for the purpose of this subsection to mean any act or occurrence of any kind or nature, whether or not insured, which results in damage, loss or destruction to any or all of the Property or any interest therein) occurs, Borrower will likewise give immediate written notice to Agent of the loss, and Agent may, but is not obligated to, make proof of such loss if not made promptly by Borrower. With the exception of Workers' Compensation, all policies of the insurance required herein will allow, but not obligate, Agent, as agent for the Lenders, to participate in the adjustment and settlement process of all claims expected to exceed $100,000.00.
(xii)Leases. Borrower will require on all leases signed after the date hereof that each of its tenants' property insurance policy provide a standard waiver of subrogation, and each such policy shall include Agent, as agent for the Lenders, as an additional insured.

(f)Settlement of Claim. In case of loss covered by any of such policies, Agent, as agent for the Lenders is authorized to adjust, collect and compromise, in its discretion, all claims thereunder. In the event of any adjustment, collection and compromise by Agent, Borrower covenants to sign upon demand, or Agent may sign or endorse, on Borrower's behalf, all necessary proofs of loss, receipts, releases and other papers required by the insurance companies to be signed by Borrower.

and shall be deemed delivered and received: (A) if delivery is made or Fax transmission completed before 5:00 p.m. recipient's local time on a Business Day, or if tendered for delivery between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient's local time on a Business Day and refused, then on the date of such actual or attempted delivery or completed transmission, as evidenced by postal or courier receipt or by the transmission log sheet generated by the sending Fax machine; and otherwise (B) on the Business Day next following the date of actual delivery or completed transmission; provided, however, that any communication by Fax to be effective must be confirmed within three (3) Business Days after transmission by duplicate notice delivered as otherwise provided herein.
(b)Waivers. No delay or omission of Agent in exercising any right or power arising from any default by Borrower shall be construed as a waiver of such default or as an acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power arising from any default by Borrower. No waiver of any breach of any of the covenants or conditions of this Agreement shall be construed to be a waiver of or an acquiescence in or a consent to any previous or subsequent breach of the same or of any other condition or covenant.
(c)Agent's Expenses; Rights of Lenders. Borrower shall promptly pay to Agent, upon demand, with interest thereon from the date of demand at the lesser of (a) the Default Interest Rate or (b) the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest, reasonable attorneys' fees and all costs and other expenses paid or incurred by Agent in enforcing or exercising its rights or remedies created by, connected with or provided for in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
46
Documents, and payment thereof shall be secured by the Mortgage. If at any time Borrower fails, refuses or neglects to do any of the things herein provided to be done by Borrower, Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do the same but at the expense and for the account of Borrower. The amount of any monies so expended or obligations so incurred by Agent and/or Lenders, together with interest thereon at the lesser of (x) the Default Interest Rate or (y) the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest, shall be repaid to Agent forthwith upon written demand therefor and payment thereof shall be secured by the Mortgage. As used in this Agreement, the term “Maximum Legal Rate of Interest” shall mean and refer to the maximum non-usurious rate of interest, if any, that may be lawfully contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Agent from Borrower in connection with the indebtedness secured by the Loan Documents and in regard to which Borrower would be prevented successfully from raising the claim or defense of usury under applicable law as now, or to the extent permitted by law, as may hereafter be, in effect (said law permitting the highest rate being referred to in this Agreement as the “Interest Law”). Unless changed in accordance with law, the applicable rate ceiling under Texas law shall be the indicated (weekly) rate ceiling, from time to time in effect, as provided in Section 303 of the Texas Finance Code, as amended. It is the intention of Agent and Borrower to conform strictly to the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. Accordingly, it is agreed that notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents or otherwise relating thereto, the aggregate of all interest and any other charges or consideration constituting interest under applicable Interest law that is taken, reserved, contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement, or under any of the other aforesaid agreements or otherwise in connection with this loan transaction shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction. If any usurious interest in such respect is provided for, or shall be adjudicated to be so provided for, in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents securing payment of the indebtedness secured hereby or otherwise relating thereto or if any acceleration of the maturity of the indebtedness secured hereby or if any prepayment of said indebtedness results in the payment of any interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the applicable Interest Law, then in such event (a) the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control, (b) neither Borrower nor Borrower's successors or assigns or any other party liable for the payment of the Liabilities shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the maximum amount of interest allowed by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, (c) any excess shall be deemed a mistake and cancelled automatically and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on said indebtedness by Agent (or if the Liabilities shall have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower) and (d) the effective rate of interest shall be automatically subject to reduction to the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest allowed under such Interest Law as now or hereafter construed by courts of appropriate jurisdiction. All sums paid or agreed to be paid the Agent for the use, forbearance or detention of the indebtedness secured hereby shall, to the extent permitted by the Interest Law applicable to this loan transaction, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full term of said indebtedness until paid in full so that the rate or amount of interest does not exceed the applicable usury ceiling. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents that permits the compounding of interest, including without limitation any provision by which any of the accrued interest is added to the principal amount of the indebtedness secured hereby, the total amount of interest that Borrower is obligated to pay and Agent is entitled to receive with respect to the indebtedness secured hereby shall not exceed the amount calculated on a simple (i.e., non-compounded) interest basis at the Maximum Legal Rate of Interest on principal amounts actually advanced to or for the account of Borrower and any advances made pursuant to the Loan Documents (such as for the payment of taxes, insurance premiums, and the like). This Section 20(c) shall be applicable to and govern all of the Loan Documents.
47
(d)Agent and Lenders Not Partner of Borrower; Borrower in Control. Neither the execution nor the performance of any of the Loan Documents by the Agent or the Lenders, nor the exercise by the Agent, as agent for the Lenders, of any of its rights, privileges or remedies conferred under the Loan Documents or under applicable law, shall be deemed to render the Agent or any Lender a partner or a joint venturer with the Borrower, any Guarantor of the Loan or any other person, or to render Borrower an agent of the Agent or any Lender for any purposes. Nothing contained herein shall characterize or be deemed to characterize, or be used as a basis for characterizing, Agent or any Lender as a “mortgagee-in-possession”. Agent, Lenders and Borrower agree that Borrower remains in control of the Property, that it determines the business plan for, and employment, management, leasing and operating directions and decisions for, the Property and for Borrower. All of Agent's rights, and actions taken by Agent as provided or permitted, in or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, are for and in its capacity as a secured lender attempting to protect the collateral security for the Loan and to collect the indebtedness and any other amounts owing or outstanding under the Note or the Loan Documents.
(e)No Third Party. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Agent and Lenders and each of their successors and assigns, and no other person or persons shall have any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement or any right to the exercise of any right or power of Agent and the Lenders hereunder or arising from any default by Borrower, nor shall Agent and/or the Lenders owe any duty whatsoever to any claimant for labor performed or materials furnished, to apply any undisbursed portion of the Loan to the payment of any such claims.
(f)Time of Essence; Context. Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Agreement and of every part hereof. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa.
(g)Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by Borrower without the prior written consent of Agent and each Lender. Subject to the foregoing restriction, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of Agent and each Lender, their successors, assigns and representatives and shall bind Borrower, its successors, assigns and representatives.
(h)Governing Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all of the other Loan Documents (except as otherwise expressly provided therein with respect to the enforcement of specific remedies) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Governing Jurisdiction without regard to the application of choice of law principles, and Borrower hereby consents to the personal jurisdiction of the state courts of the Governing Jurisdiction and of the United States District Court for the Northern District of the Governing
48
Jurisdiction in any action that may be commenced by Agent, as agent for the Lenders, to enforce its rights hereunder or under the Loan Documents.
(i)Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes, and all of the other Loan Documents constitute the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, superseding all prior written or oral understandings (including the provisions of that certain Term Sheet delivered to Agent on May 19, 2011, and may not be modified, amended or terminated except by a written agreement signed by Agent and Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the provisions of this Agreement are not intended to supersede the provisions of the Mortgage, but shall be construed as supplemental thereto, and (ii) Agent and Lenders shall have the right to modify, amend or terminate in any manner any and all agreements between Agents and Lenders, including without limitation, Sections 25 and 26 hereof, without the consent or signature of Borrower, Guarantor or any other obligors. Borrower hereby acknowledges that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents accurately reflect the agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and hereby waives any claims against Agent and/or the Lenders which Borrower may now have or may hereafter acquire to the effect that the actual agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof may not be accurately set forth in this Agreement or such other Loan Documents.
This Agreement represents the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

(j)Headings. The various headings of this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
(k)Severability.

(p)Replacement Notes. In connection with the closing of the Loan, Borrower is executing and delivering the Notes. Thereafter, Borrower shall execute such replacement and substitute Notes (the “Replacement Note(s)”) as may be requested by Agent from time to time to (i) replace the original Note in the event it is lost or misplaced, and (ii) facilitate the assignment by Agent or a Lender of all or part of its rights and obligations under the Loan Agreement; provided, however, such Replacement Note(s) shall in the aggregate total the amount of the Note being replaced, and upon delivery of a Replacement Note, the applicable Lender shall conspicuously xxxx the face of the Note being substituted (unless such Note has been lost or misplaced) with the following legend: “THIS NOTE HAS BEEN RENEWED AND SUBSTITUTED” and promptly return same to Borrower.
21.Borrower Exculpation. Except as set forth below or as provided in the Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity, no trustee, beneficiary, partner, shareholder, director, officer or member of Borrower (other than a Guarantor) or any trustee, beneficiary, partner, shareholder, director, officer or member of a partner, shareholder or member of Borrower (other than a Guarantor), and no legal representative, heir or estate of any of the foregoing shall have any personal liability for (i) the payment of any sum of money which is or may be payable hereunder or under the Loan Documents, including the repayment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, or (ii) the performance or discharge of any covenants or undertakings of Borrower hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. In the enforcement of any of its rights hereunder, Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall proceed solely against the assets of Borrower from time to time, and any other collateral given as security for payment of the Note or for payment or performance under the Loan Documents, and shall not seek any deficiency judgment.
(a)Borrower's Recourse Liabilities. Nothing contained in this Section 21 shall (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of the lien of the Mortgage or any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Agent, as agent for the Lenders, to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit under the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of
50
the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Agent, as agent for the Lenders, thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Agent, as agent for the Lenders, to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) constitute a prohibition against Agent, as agent for the Lenders, to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the lien and security granted by the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents or to exercise its remedies against all or any portion of the Property. In addition, nothing in this Section 21 shall be deemed to impede or prejudice the rights of the holder of the Note to recover (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) against Borrower, for and to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Agent and/or the Lenders (including reasonable attorney's fees and costs) (collectively, the “Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the following being referred hereto as “Borrower's Recourse Liabilities”) as a result of:
(i)the commission of fraud or any material misrepresentation made in connection with the Loan or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents;

(iv)removal from the Property of any personal property in violation of any of the Loan Documents;
(v)forfeiture of the Property;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right which any of them may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Indebtedness or to require that all collateral for the Loan shall continue to secure all of the Indebtedness in accordance with the Loan Documents.
(b)Full Liability for all Indebtedness. In addition to all amounts for which Borrower is personally liable for under Section 21(a), Borrower shall be fully liable to Agent and the Lenders for all Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Losses incurred by Agent and the Lenders in collecting any of such amounts), and nothing in the Loan Documents shall limit the liability of any Borrower for all Indebtedness (including, without limitation, all Losses incurred by Agent and the Lenders in collecting any of such amounts) and Agent's agreement (as agent for the Lenders) not to pursue the personal liability of any Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no force and effect and the Indebtedness shall become fully recourse to Borrower in the event one or more of following occurs (each, a “Forbearance Termination Event”):

52

22.NOTICE OF INDEMNIFICATION. borrower acknowledges that this agreement provides for indemnification of the indemnified parties by borrower. except for the gross negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, fraud or illegal acts of the indemnified parties which shall be excluded from the indemnification of borrower, it is specifically intended by borrower and agent that all indemnity debt and liabilities assumed by borrower hereunder be without limit and without regard to the cause or causes thereof (including preexisting conditions), strict liability, or the negligence of any party or parties (including the indemnified parties) whether such negligence be sole, joint or concurrent, or passive. the parties specifically intend that the indemnified par ties are to be indemnified against their own negligence, but not their own gross negligence.
23.Special Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Borrower. Agent's and each Lender's willingness and ability to make the Loan is contingent upon, among other things, the Borrower being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Therefore, the Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Agent and the Lenders that Borrower shall at all times be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower shall not directly or indirectly make any change, amendment or modification to its organizational documents, or otherwise take any action which could result in Borrower not being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. A “Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity” shall have the meaning set forth on Schedule 1 hereto.
24.No Withholdings. All sums payable by Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be paid in full and without set-off or counterclaims and free of any deductions or withholdings for any and all Taxes. In the event that Borrower is prohibited by any law from making any such payment free of such deductions or withholdings with respect to Taxes, then Borrower shall pay such additional amount to Agent as may be necessary in order that the actual amount received by Agent and the Lenders after such deduction or withholding (and after payment of any additional Taxes due as a consequence of the payment of such additional amount) shall equal the amount that would have been received if such deduction or withholding were not required; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay such additional amount solely because Agent and/or any Lender, although having a legal basis to do so, fails to deliver to Borrower a duly executed copy of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN or W-9 or any successor form or any required renewal thereof, establishing that a full exemption exists from United States backup withholding tax, and as a result of such failure, Borrower was prohibited by the Code, from making any such payment
53
free of such deductions or withholding. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 24, in no event will Agent's or any Lender's failure to deliver any such forms, or any renewal or extension thereof, affect, postpone or relieve Borrower from any obligation to pay Base Interest, principal and other amounts due under the Loan Documents (other than amounts due under this Section 24 as a result of Agent's or any Lender's failure to deliver such forms). Such additional amount shall be due concurrently with the payment with respect to which such additional amount is owed in the amount of Taxes certified by Agent. A certificate as to the amount of Taxes submitted by Agent to Borrower setting forth Agent's basis for the determination of Taxes shall be conclusive evidence of the amount thereof, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Agent to demand payment from Borrower for any Taxes attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Agent's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.
25.Agreement Among Lenders and Agent.
(a)Agent.
(i)Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints KBS as the Agent of such Lender under this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, as Agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent, by the terms of this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, and such other documents as are executed by and between Agent and Lenders, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent is hereby authorized to execute all Loan Documents (other than this Agreement) on behalf of Lenders. Borrower is entitled to rely on instructions, consents and approvals given by Agent on behalf of Lenders.
(ii)Agent's Standard. Agent shall exercise all of its powers, discretion and authority under this Agreement in good faith and in accordance with the same standards which it customarily applies to loans held solely for its own account (the “Agent's Standard”).
(iii)Use of the Term “Agent”. The term “Agent” is used in the Loan Documents in reference to Agent merely as a matter of custom. It is intended to reflect only an administrative relationship between Agent and Lenders as independent contracting parties. In no event shall the use of such term create or imply any fiduciary relationship or any other obligation arising under the general law of agency. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in any other documents signed by and between Agent and the Lenders, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or other document as otherwise exist against Agent in such capacity.
(iv)Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any other document by and between Agent and Lenders by or through a servicer, agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the
54
negligence or misconduct of any servicer, agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.
(v)Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, facsimile, e-mail, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person or entity and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower, Guarantors, or other obligors), the independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Agent. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the Notes and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of Required Lenders or all Lenders, to the extent required, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of the Notes.
(vi)Agent in Individual Capacity. Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, Guarantors, or other obligors, as though Agent was not Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. With respect to Agent, the Loan made by Agent or its affiliate and the Notes issued to Agent or its affiliate shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and Agent may exercise the same as though it were not Agent. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacities. Agent may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage, and continue to engage, in any kind of business with Borrower, any Guarantor, or other obligors as if Agent were not an agent hereunder.
(vii)Resignation or Removal. Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days' notice to Lenders and Borrower. Required Lenders may remove Agent by a vote of the Required Lenders for Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Agent shall be removed or if Agent shall resign as Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then Required Lenders shall appoint from among Lenders (unless otherwise agreed by all Lenders), a successor agent for Lenders and shall promptly notify Borrower in writing, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor agent, effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Notes.
(viii)Successor Agent. After any retiring Agent's removal or resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Section 25 shall inure to the benefit of the Successor Agent as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)Agent's Authority and Powers; Required Lender Approvals.
55
(i)Powers Granted to Agent. Agent, acting on behalf of itself and Lenders and without notice to Lenders, but subject to the limitations contained herein, shall have the right and power to take such actions as may be desirable or necessary to carry out the routine, day to day administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the following:

Without the prior written consent or approval of each Lender, Agent shall not: (A) reduce the interest rate of the Notes (except as provided in this Agreement) or otherwise reduce the amount of payment of any fee, principal or interest payable under the Notes or this Agreement (except waiver or reduction of late fees and interest at the Default Interest Rate which shall only require Agent's approval); (B) forgive, or postpone payment of, or waive any default under the Loan Documents in connection with the payment of principal or interest due under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except waiver or reduction of late fees and interest at the Default Interest Rate which shall only require Agent's approval); (C) increase the amount of the Aggregate Commitment or any Lender's Commitment; (D) extend the Initial Maturity Date or the date of any interest payment thereunder, except as specifically provided in this Agreement; (E) release, partially or fully, any material collateral given as security for the Loan, except as specifically provided in this Agreement; (F) release, partially or fully, any Guarantor, except as provided in the Loan Documents; (G) consent to or accept any cancellation or termination of any Loan Document; (H) agree to a transfer or termination of an instrument now or hereafter assigned to it as security for the Loan; or (I) change the definition of Required Lenders or change the requirement for the approval of Required Lenders or all Lenders to certain actions of Agent, as provided herein.
(2)Required Lenders' Consent. Without the prior written consent or approval of the Required Lenders, Agent shall not: (A) exercise any remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosing the lien of the Mortgage and submitting a bid at the foreclosure sale; (B) waive one or more Events of Default specified in the Loan Documents (except as provided in Section 25(b)(ii)(1)(B)); (C) agree to accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure to the Property (or other similar arrangement); (D) waive or amend any

Agent shall deliver copies of such notices and demands to Lenders.
(3)Requests for Approval. Agent shall provide written notice to Lenders of any proposed action requiring their approval under this Agreement, together with such background information as is in Agent's possession with respect to the proposed action. Lenders shall promptly consider in good faith, whether to approve or disapprove of any proposed action that is the subject of any such notice. A proposed action shall be deemed approved by a Lender if such Lender does not provide a response with the reason or reasons why it does not approve of the proposed action within seven (7) Business Days after receipt of the written notice from Agent proposing such action; provided that any such request for approval shall prominently state that such approval shall be deemed given if no response is given within such seven (7) Business Day period.
(4)Purchase Option. If a Lender responds in the negative to such a request for approval, and if the action requires unanimous approval of Lenders under Section 25(b)(ii)(1) hereof and such unanimous approval cannot be agreed upon within an additional ten (10) Business Days after the initial seven (7) Business Day period, then Agent or any Lender that is in agreement with the proposed action and that wishes to do so, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase such dissenting Lender's Commitment Percentage in the Loan at par value plus accrued interest and other amounts due to such Lender (other than late fees and interest at the Default Interest Rate). If more than one Lender elects to purchase the dissenting Lender's Commitment Percentage in the Loan, then all such Lenders shall purchase the same, on a pro rata basis calculated based on their respective Commitment Percentages. Agent and any other Lender which elects to purchase a dissenting Lender's Commitment Percentage shall notify such dissenting Lender in writing within ten (10) days after the expiration of the foregoing periods. Such dissenting Lender shall then have five (5) Business Days after receipt of such written notice to approve the contested action. If the dissenting Lender shall not approve such action and if another Lender elects to purchase the dissenting Lender's Commitment Percentage, then the purchase of its interest shall be closed by payment in cash to the dissenting Lender of the amount described above within forty-five (45) days after the election to do so is made. At the Closing of the sale, the selling Lender shall assign to the purchasing Lender(s) its entire interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and its Note, but such sale shall be without recourse, representation or warranty to the selling Lender and the selling Lender shall thereafter have no further obligation or liability hereunder.
(c)Defaulting Lenders.
(i)If any Lender fails to fund such Lender's Commitment Percentage of a Request for Advance that has been approved by Agent as provided in this Agreement, or any other amount due in accordance with this Agreement within five (5) Business Days after written
57
demand therefor from Agent to Lender, then such Lender (the “Defaulting Lender”) shall be in default hereunder.
(ii)Upon any default by a Defaulting Lender as described in Section 26(c)(i) above, any Lender, by written notice to Agent at such Lender's sole option, may (but shall not be obligated to) fund such amounts on behalf of such Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender elects to fund a Defaulting Lender's share then each such Lender shall fund on a pro rata basis, based on their respective Commitment Percentages, and shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Defaulting Lender on demand of the amount so funded. If such reimbursement is not made on demand, then until such time as full reimbursement is received, the Lender or Lenders that are entitled to the reimbursement shall be entitled to receive the next moneys becoming payable to the Defaulting Lender in order to recover such reimbursement. Whether or not a Lender funds such amounts on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply:
(1)Subject to the right of a Lender which has funded the Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage to reimbursement thereof as provided above, Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, withhold and apply any and all amounts payable to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Agreement in such order of priority as Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion: (A) to fund the Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage of any Request for Advance which the Defaulting Lender is obligated to fund pursuant to the Loan Documents and this Agreement, and (B) to reimburse Agent for the Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage of any costs, expenses or disbursements incurred or made by Agent pursuant to this Agreement; and
(2)Agent may exercise any combination or all of the remedies set forth above, or any other remedies available at law or in equity.
(iii)The right of a Defaulting Lender to consent, approve or disapprove of any matter under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Loan or the Property, or receive payments from Agent, or exercise the rights granted herein to purchase the interest of Lenders in the Loan, or to fund the Commitment Percentage of another Defaulting Lender, shall be suspended during the period such Lender is in default hereunder (the “Suspension Period”). During any Suspension Period, the Commitment Percentage of each Lender shall be recalculated, solely for purposes or consenting, approving or disapproving of any matter under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Loan or the Project or to receive payments from Agent, to proportionately increase each Lender's Commitment Percentages as if the Defaulting Lender did not have an interest in the Loan. Such recalculation shall not increase the Commitment Percentage of any non-defaulting Lender for the purposes of funding Advances, except to the extent that a non-defaulting Lender has agreed to fund the Defaulting Lender's share of such Request for Advance or other payment due.
(iv)Any of the following shall constitute a default by a Lender under this Agreement: If a Lender shall fail to cure any default under Section 25(c)(i) of this Agreement within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Agent, or if Agent is in default, from another Lender, or if any proceeding is commenced which involves the dissolution, termination of existence, insolvency or business failure of any Lender, or the appointment of a
58
receiver for any part of the property of a Lender, or the assignment for the benefit of creditors of a Lender or any proceeding is commenced under any Bankruptcy or insolvency law, state or federal, by or against a Lender. Upon the occurrence of any such default, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, any Lender that is not in default hereunder that elects to do so, shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase on a pro rata basis, based upon their respective Commitment Percentages, the interest in the Loan owed by such Lender in default, at par value plus accrued interest and any other amounts due to such Lender (other than late fees and interest at the Default Interest Rate). Any such purchase by a Lender shall be completed within forty-five (45) days after the election to do so is made. At the closing of the sale, the selling Lender shall assign to the purchasing Lender(s) its entire interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and its Note but such sale shall be without recourse, representation or warranty to the Lender whose interest in the Loan is being purchased and thereafter, such selling Lender shall have no further obligation or liability hereunder. Any Lender not in default shall also each have the right to maintain an action for specific performance against the Defaulting Lender to enforce their rights under this Agreement unless Agent has elected to undertake such action on behalf of the non-defaulting Lenders.
(d)Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any officer, director, employee, agent, attorney-in-fact or affiliate thereof has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act taken by Agent hereafter, including any review of the affairs of Borrower or any Guarantor, or other obligor shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, Guarantors, and other obligors, and made its own decision to make its Commitment Percentage of the Loan and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower, Guarantors, Obligors and other obligors. Each Lender assumes all risk of loss in connection with its interest in the Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall not in any way be responsible for: (a) the accuracy of any information given or to be given to Lenders by or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantor; (b) the validity, enforceability or legal effect of any of the Loan Documents; (c) any title insurance policies furnished to Agent by Borrower or any other party or the validity or effectiveness of the examination thereof; (d) the solvency or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Guarantor or the collectability of the Loan; (e) the value of any collateral given to secure the Loan; (f) any recitals, representations, or warranties contained in, or for the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness, or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other instrument or document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith; or (g) the validity, genuineness, perfection, effectiveness, enforceability, existence, value, or enforcement of any collateral.
(e)Collections; Disbursements To Lenders.
59
(i)Collections of Payments by Agent. Each Lender's interest under the Loan shall be payable solely from payments, collections and proceeds actually received by Agent under the Loan Documents; and Agent's only liability to a Lender with respect to any such payments, collections or proceeds shall be to account for such Lender's Commitment Percentage thereof in accordance with this Agreement. Agent shall have the exclusive right to collect sums on account of the Loan, including, without limitation, protective advances, fees, prepayment premiums (if any), and repayment of advances in excess of the face amount of the Loan, whether such sums are received directly from Borrower or any other persons, or as amounts payable by Agent's enforcement of its security interests, exercise of the right of offset by Agent of any kind against the deposits, accounts, moneys, or other property of Borrower deposited at or held by Agent, or by reason of total or partial condemnation or taking by governmental authority, proceeds or recoveries under insurance policies collected and not applied to repair and restore the Project, payment and performance bonds (if any), title insurance policies, amounts realized by reason of any sale or operation of the collateral for the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents (all collectively, the “Loan Recoveries”).
(ii)Distribution of Payments. Whenever Agent receives a payment of any Loan Recoveries in connection with the Loan to which a Lender is entitled to its Commitment Percentage, Agent shall promptly pay to such Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof, subject to the provisions of Section 25(c) above. If payment is received by Agent before 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on any Business Day, Agent shall pay Lenders on the next Business Day. If any such payment is received by Agent after 1:00 p.m. Pacific time, Agent shall pay Lenders before the end of the second Business Day following receipt by Agent. For purposes of the foregoing, funds shall be deemed “paid” to Lenders if Agent receives a confirmation number from the Federal Reserve. Agent shall not be required to remit to Lenders any amount not actually collected by Agent, whether or not the Loan is then in default.
(iii)Standard of Care. Agent will hold the Loan Documents (other than each individual Lender's Note) and perform all of its obligations under each provision of this Agreement in accordance with Agent's Standard. Agent will receive and hold all receipts and collections with respect to the Loan for the benefit of each Lender in accordance with its respective Commitment Percentage, subject to the provisions of Section 25(c) above. Agent's relationship to Lenders shall be that of an independent contractor and Agent is not a partner, employee or joint venturer of Lenders and shall have no fiduciary obligations to Lenders.
(iv)Repayment. If claim is ever made upon Agent for repayment of any amount or amounts received by Agent in payment of the obligations under the Loan Documents following distribution to Lenders (whether or not all or any part of such payment is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid by Agent) and Agent repays or is obligated to repay all or any part of said amount, then, notwithstanding any revocation or termination of this Agreement or the cancellation of any Note or any other instrument evidencing the Loan; Lenders shall promptly pay over to Agent their Commitment Percentages of the amount so recovered, returned or to be paid over, together with their Commitment Percentages of any interest or other amount that Agent is required to pay in connection with such recovery.
60
(v)Application of Loan Recoveries. All Loan Recoveries received by Agent in connection with the Loan or the Loan Documents shall be applied by Agent as set forth herein.
(f)Borrower's Default.
(i)Notice of Borrower's Default. Each Lender shall notify Agent, and Agent shall notify each Lender, within five (5) Business Days after acquiring actual knowledge of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents or any event which, with the lapse of time or giving of notice, or both, would constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Documents. Agent shall have no duty to inquire into any performance or failure to perform by Borrower and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying the occurrence of such Event of Default. Agent is entitled to assume that no Event of Default or event or omission which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute such an Event of Default, has occurred and is continuing unless Agent (i) has actual knowledge of such Event of Default or event, or (ii) has been notified by a Lender in writing that the Lender considers that such an Event of Default or event or omission has occurred and is continuing and specifies the nature thereof. Such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 20(a) hereof.
(ii)Consultation and Remedies. Agent shall promptly consult with Lenders regarding the actions to be taken in response to an Event of Default, and the applicable provisions of Section 25(b)(ii) hereof shall govern the consent by Agent and Lenders to the action to be taken in response to such Event of Default. If a vote of the Required Lenders fails to establish a course of action to be taken in response to such Event of Default as provided in Section 25(b)(ii)(2) above, then the course of action taken shall be deemed to be forbearance until the earlier to occur of (i) the date an alternate course of action is decided upon by Required Lenders, or (ii) 30 days after the date the Event of Default has been declared, in which event Agent may begin to exercise its remedies as Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) under the Loan Documents including, without limitation, the exercise of the power of sale under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the consent provisions of Section 25(b)(ii) or the consultation requirement of this Section 25(f)(ii), Agent shall have the right at any time to take such actions as Agent believes in good faith must be taken immediately without an opportunity for consultation with Lenders in order to protect and preserve the value of any security held for the Loan. Each Lender shall be liable for that Lender's Commitment Percentage of all costs and expenses incurred by Agent in analysis and exercise of Agent's rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, as provided in Section 25(k).
(iii)Purchase Right. In addition to the rights provided for under the foregoing provisions of this Section 25(f), if at any time the Required Lenders are not in agreement as to a course of action to be taken in response to an Event of Default, then Agent, and any Lender that is in agreement with the course of action favored by Agent and that wishes to do so, shall have the right in its sole discretion (but not the obligation) to purchase the interest in the Loan of any Lender that is not in agreement with the course of action favored by Agent, at par value plus accrued interest and other amounts, due to such Lender. If more than one Lender elects to purchase the dissenting Lender's Commitment Percentage in the Loan, then all such Lenders shall purchase the same on a pro rata basis based on their respective Commitment
61
Percentages. Any such purchase shall be completed within forty-five (45) days after the election to do so is made. At the closing of the sale, the selling Lender shall assign to the purchasing Lender(s) its entire interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and its Note, but such sale shall be without recourse, representation or warranty to the Lender or Lenders whose interest or interests in the Loan are being purchased and thereafter, such Lender(s) shall have no further obligation or liability hereunder.
(iv)Advances and Reimbursements. If Borrower fails to pay taxes, assessments, insurance premiums or any other charges or expenditures for which Borrower is responsible or liable under the Loan Documents, Agent may, but shall not be required to, advance the amount necessary to make such payments. Each Lender shall, immediately upon demand, reimburse Agent for such Lender's Commitment Percentage thereof pursuant to Section 1.11. Agent shall use reasonable efforts to recover from Borrower all advances and expenses that are the obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents, but making such efforts shall not be a precondition to Lenders' reimbursing Agent promptly.
(v)Ownership of the Property. If the Required Lenders elect (or Agent has the right to under Section 25(f)(ii) above) to take title to the Property, whether by the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents or by a consensual agreement with Borrower or otherwise, then in the absence of any alternate structure selected by vote of the Required Lenders, Agent, as agent for the Lenders, shall form a limited liability company (the “Ownership LLC”) to hold such ownership interest in the Property. The Managing Member of the LLC shall be Agent (the “Managing Member”). The member interests in the Ownership LLC shall be held by Agent and Lenders (or their designees or affiliates) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. The Operating Agreement for the Ownership LLC shall have terms and provisions similar to this Agreement with respect to the ownership and administration of the Property. Agent shall have a right to resign as Managing Member, and Agent and Lenders shall have the right to remove Agent as Managing Member for cause only under the same terms and conditions as are required for removal or replacement of Agent under Section 25(a)(vii). Agent and Lenders shall have voting control of the Ownership LLC in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. Agent and each of the Lenders shall enter into a contribution agreement pursuant to which Agent and each Lender shall agree to (i) fund all amounts due from it or from its affiliates in connection with the Ownership LLC with respect to the Property, and (ii) guaranty any indemnities made by its affiliate in connection with the Ownership LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Agent determines that, to protect the collateral securing the Loan, title to the Property must be transferred for the benefit of Lenders before the ownership structure described above can be completed, then Agent shall have the right to elect to take title to the Property in its own name or in the name of its wholly-owned affiliate, on behalf of itself and each Lender, and thereafter, transfer title to the Ownership LLC as soon as reasonably practicable. The specific terms and provisions of the (A) agreements, instruments, certificates, articles and other documents evidencing, governing and creating the Ownership LLC, and (B) any other agreements with a third-party corporation or management company shall be subject to the approval of Lenders and Agent by vote of the Required Lenders. If the terms and provisions of any such agreements are so approved and are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, all Lenders shall join in executing and delivering such agreements, instruments, certificates, articles and other documents and abide by the terms thereof.
62
(g)Retention of Counsel. If, in Agent's judgment, attorneys should be retained for the administration of the Loan or the Property or the protection of the interests of Agent and Lenders, including, without limitation, in connection with actual or threatened litigation, Agent may, following written notice to Lenders, employ counsel to represent Agent and Lenders. Agent shall seek to cause Borrower to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel in accordance with other terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, but Lenders shall pay their respective Commitment Percentages of such reasonable fees and expenses to Agent immediately upon request pursuant to Section 25(k) hereof, whether or not Agent has sought or received reimbursement from Borrower. If Agent later receives reimbursement therefor from Borrower, Agent shall return Lenders' respective Commitment Percentages, without interest (unless such interest is actually paid by Borrower), to Lenders. Each Lender shall have the right to retain counsel on its own behalf and at such Lender's sole cost and expense, in connection with any matters pertaining to the Loan.
(h)Interest in Loan Documents.
(i)Proportional Interest. Each Lender shall, upon funding its share of an Advance, become vested with its Commitment Percentage of the Advance without the necessity of any written instrument of assignment or document. Upon such funding, the respective interests of each Lender in the Loan Documents shall be of equal priority with one another, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. If Agent or its designee acquires an ownership interest in any of the collateral for the Loan due to the foreclosure or other realization of any security interest in or lien granted by any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall have an interest in such ownership interest in such collateral equal to its Commitment Percentage in the Loan, notwithstanding that title is taken in the name of Agent or its designee alone.
(ii)Documents and Third Parties. All original Loan Documents, other than each individual Lender's Note, shall be held by Agent in its customary fashion in accordance with Agent's Standard. Agent is authorized to retain the Loan and the Loan Documents in Agent's own name, and, as to parties other than Lenders, to deal with such parties as though an absolute owner of the Loan and the Loan Documents. Lenders hereby authorize any third person, without inquiry as to whether any action by Agent is authorized hereunder, to deal with Agent concerning the Loan in the same manner as if Lenders' interests were not outstanding and Agent were the sole owner of the Loan.
(iii)Other Collateral. Agent holds for its own and Lenders' proportional benefit all collateral described in the Loan Documents which secures the performance and payment of Borrower's obligations and liabilities under the Loan. Lenders, however, shall have no interest in any (i) other property taken as security for any credit, loan or financial accommodation made or furnished to Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their affiliates by Agent, other than the Loan; (ii) property now or hereafter in Agent's possession or under Agent's control other than by reason of the Loan or the Loan Documents; or (iii) deposits or other indebtedness which may be or might become security for performance or payment of any of Borrower's or any Guarantor's obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents by reason of the general description contained in any instrument other than the Loan Documents held by Agent or by reason of any right of setoff, counterclaim, Lender's lien or otherwise.
63
Likewise, Agent shall have no interest in any property or deposits of Lenders, as described in clauses (i)-(iii) above. If, however, such property, deposit, indebtedness or the proceeds thereof shall actually be applied to the payment or reduction of principal, interest, fees, commissions or any other amounts owing by Borrower to Agent in connection with the Loan, then each Lender shall be entitled to that Lender's Commitment Percentage of the amounts so applied to the Loan, subject to Section 25(c).
(i)Bookkeeping Entries. Each Lender shall record in its financial records the amount of its undivided interest in the Loan and its participation in Agent's right and obligations in connection with the Loan. Agent shall record in its financial records the existence of the undivided interests of Lenders in the Loan.
(j)Information and Copies to Lenders. Agent shall from time to time, promptly after receipt thereof, furnish to Lenders copies of material documents, notices and non-oral financial information received from Borrower or sent by Agent to Borrower regarding the Loan, the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby. Upon written request, Agent will promptly provide to Lenders from time to time such material information regarding the Loan as is then available to Agent which Lenders may reasonably request and which has not previously been so furnished to Lenders. Agent shall have no responsibility with respect to the authenticity, validity, accuracy or completeness of the information provided by Borrower or any other party. Lenders agree and acknowledge that Agent need not provide copies of or information pertaining to confidential Lender examiner's reports, including any classification of Borrower or the Loan by an examiner. Upon reasonable advance written notice, Lenders may, at their expense, inspect and copy, during normal business hours, Agent's books and records specifically and solely relating to collections, disbursements, costs and expenses under the Loan.
(k)Reimbursement for Costs and Expenses.
(i)Agent's Right to Reimbursement. All payments, collections and proceeds received or effected by Agent may be applied first to pay or reimburse Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses at any time incurred by or imposed upon Agent in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including, but not limited to, all reasonable attorney's fees, including allocated costs of in-house counsel), foreclosure expenses and advances made to protect the security of any collateral, but excluding any costs, expenses, damages or liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent. Each Lender shall, within ten (10) Business Days after demand, indemnify and reimburse Agent for such Lender's Commitment Percentage of any and all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, title insurance and foreclosure costs, costs of consultants, court costs and disbursements (collectively, “Administrative Costs”) which may be incurred or paid by Agent under or in connection with actions taken by Agent in connection with the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, or in any action taken by Agent to collect the liabilities created under or in connection with the Loan or any Loan Document or to enforce or protect any collateral for any such liabilities, for which Agent has not previously been reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, which actions are permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents. All such payments and reimbursements by Lenders shall be made to Agent in immediately available funds in Newport Beach, California. However, if Agent later is reimbursed by Borrower or any obligor for any such expenses, Agent shall immediately reimburse each Lender according to each
64
Lender's Commitment Percentage. Each Lender shall have the right to review a full and complete accounting of Administrative Costs incurred by Agent promptly upon request therefor.
(ii)Collection from Defaulting Lender. Any and all costs, expenses and disbursements (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses) incurred by Agent or a Lender in any effort to collect any amounts payable under this Agreement from Defaulting Lender shall be paid by the Defaulting Lender against which such collection efforts are taken, immediately upon demand. If suit is filed by Agent or a Lender in connection with such collection efforts, the party prevailing in such suit shall be entitled to an award of attorneys' fees and costs, in addition to all other awards.
(iii)Legal Fees. Except as otherwise provided in Section 25(k)(ii), neither Agent nor Lenders are responsible for any other party's attorney's fees or any other expenses in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, or any disputes among Agent and/or Lenders. In the event a Lender, other than Agent acting in its capacity as Agent pursuant to Section 25(g), shall retain counsel, consultants or accountants or incur any expenses in connection with the Loan, the Loan Documents or this Agreement, such fees and expenses shall be paid by such Lender alone.
(iv)Recovery of Expenses from Payments and Proceeds. If Agent does not receive payments, collections or proceeds sufficient to cover any such costs and expenses within five (5) days after their incurrence or imposition from Borrower or Guarantor, each Lender shall, upon demand, remit to Agent such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the difference between (i) such costs and expenses and (ii) such payments, collections and proceeds, together with interest on such amount for each day following the tenth (10th) day after demand therefor until so remitted at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each such day. The foregoing provision is intended only to set forth certain rules for the application of payments, proceeds and collections in the event that a Lender has breached its obligations hereunder and shall not be deemed to excuse any Lender from such obligations.
(l)Payments Received Directly by Lenders. If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of offset or otherwise) on account of any Note or on account of any fees under this Agreement in excess of such Lender's Commitment Percentage, such Lender shall promptly give notice of such fact to Agent and shall promptly remit to Agent such amount as shall be necessary to cause the remitting Lender to share such excess payment or other recovery ratably with each Lender in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages together with interest for each day on such amount until so remitted at a rate equal to the Note Rate (but not the Default Interest Rate) for each such day; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such Lender or holder, the remittance shall be restored to the extent of such recovery.
(m)Borrower not a Beneficiary or Party. The provisions and agreements in this Section 25, and the provisions of Section 26 are solely among Lenders and Agent and Borrower shall not be considered a party thereto or a beneficiary thereof.
65
(n)Indemnification. Each Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Agent harmless from and against each Lender's Commitment Percentage of any and all loss, cost, liability, damage, penalty, action, suit and expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal expenses) which may be imposed upon, asserted against, paid or incurred by Agent (except to the extent that the same arises from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct) at any time and from time to time in connection herewith, including, without limitation, (a) the prosecution or defense of any suit relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, (b) any default by a Lender under this Agreement, or the Ownership LLC, (c) the exercise of Agent's right pursuant to Section 25(f)(v) hereof to acquire title to the Property in Agent's name or in the name of Agent's wholly-owned affiliate on behalf of the Lenders, (d) any matter related to its capacity as Agent; and (e) any matter relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or any of the Loan Documents, or any documents contemplated therein or herein. Each Lender's obligations to Agent under this Section 25(n) shall include, without limitation, Agent's being held liable to Borrower or any third party for breach of any duty or obligation, either express or implied, in contract or otherwise, including alleged wrongful termination of the Loan, improper collection and enforcement actions and interference or involvement in Borrower's business activities. If the indemnity provided by this Agreement shall become impaired, Agent may require an additional indemnity from the Lenders and may cease to perform the acts with respect to which the indemnity is impaired until such additional indemnity is received. So long as any indemnification obligations of a Lender to Agent pursuant to this Agreement are outstanding, this Agreement shall not terminate. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this indemnity is not intended to excuse Agent from failing to perform hereunder in accordance with Agent's Standard.
(o)Exculpation of Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors. officers, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any obligation, undertaking, act or judgment of Borrower or any other person, or for any error of judgment or any action taken or omitted to be taken by Agent (except and only to the extent that the same arises from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent), or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any term of any Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, Agent (a) may consult with legal counsel, accountants, financial advisers and other consultants and experts selected by Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel and advisers; (b) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for any warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, or for the financial condition of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other person, or for the value of any collateral, or for the observance or performance of any obligations of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other person or entity; and (c) makes no warranty or representation and shall not be responsible for the due execution, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or collectability of any of the Loan Documents.
(p)Authorization and Enforceability Representations. Agent and Lenders each hereby represents to the other parties hereto that (a) all necessary corporate and other action has been taken to authorize it to execute, and to perform its obligations under, this Agreement, and (b) this Agreement is binding and enforceable against it.
66
(q)Assignment by Lenders. Lenders shall not be authorized to assign their respective rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and this Agreement except in accordance with Sections 26 and 27 of this Agreement, as applicable.
(r)Other Transactions between Lenders and Borrower. Agent and the Lenders and their respective affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower and its subsidiaries, owners, partners and affiliates (collectively, “Borrower's Affiliates”) and any person who may do business with or own interests in any of them. Neither Agent nor Lenders shall have any interest in any property taken as security for any other loans or any credits extended to Borrower or any of Borrower's Affiliates by Agent or Lenders, respectively, other than pursuant to the Loan Documents. Nothing herein shall in any manner be deemed to limit or preclude the right of Agent to enter into any such other arrangements or to exercise any rights or remedies available in connection therewith, including the exercise of any right of set-off or other rights available as a matter of law.
(s)Effect of Agreement and Relationship of Parties. This Agreement is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed to establish, a partnership or joint venture between Agent and Lenders. Agent will have no obligation or responsibility to any Lender except as specifically stated herein, and Agent shall not have a fiduciary duty of any kind to any Lender. The execution of this Agreement, the performance of the terms or provisions hereof and the performance or exercise of any obligations or rights pursuant hereto (including Lenders' purchase of and ownership interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents) shall not constitute Lenders as owners, holders, purchasers or sellers of any security (as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) issued, owned, purchased or sold by Agent, either as principal or as agent for Borrower. Each Lender is purchasing and acquiring legal and equitable ownership of its Commitment Percentage of the Loan and is not making a loan to Agent, and no debtor-creditor relationship exists between them as a result of this Agreement. This Agreement and the provisions of the Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement among the parties, and no representation, promise, inducement or statement of intent has been made by Agent to Lenders which is not embodied in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents.

26.Assignment by Lenders.Agent and the Lenders shall have the right at any time and from time to time (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) to sell or grant participation interests in the Loan (or any part thereof) to one or more investors, (iii) to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan, or (iv) to pledge all or any portion of the Loan. In connection with any transaction contemplated under this Section, Borrower authorizes Agent and each Lender to disclose to any relevant party any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning Borrower and the Property which has been delivered to Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which has been delivered to Agent or such Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any Guarantors, or other obligors in connection with Agent's or such Lender's credit evaluation of Borrower prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
(a)Participants. Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more Lenders or other entities (“Participants”) participating interests in the rights of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided any such sale must result in the Participant acquiring at least $500,000 risk participation interest in the Aggregate Commitment and other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. A Participant shall have the right to vote only on the extension of regularly scheduled maturity of principal or interest under the Note and this Agreement executed in favor of its selling Lender, reduction of the principal amount or rate of interest of such Note or the release of any material portion of the collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted in this Agreement in which case no such consent shall be required). In the event of any such sale by a Lender of participating interests to a Participant, such Lender's obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of its Note for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)Purchasing Lenders. Any Lender may, without the consent of Borrower, at any time sell to any of its affiliates or to any Lender, any affiliate thereof or to one or more additional lenders or financial institutions (“Purchasing Lenders”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents pursuant to an assignment agreement (an “Assignment and Acceptance”) executed by such Purchasing Lender and such transferor Lender, and delivered to Agent accompanied by a $3,500 processing fee (which fee Borrower is not obligated to pay); provided, however, that any such sale must result in the Purchasing Lender having an interest in at least $500,000 in aggregate amount of obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon such execution and delivery from and after the transfer effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the Purchasing Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (ii) the transferor Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of such assigned portion and as provided in the Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of a transferor Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement, such transferor Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Any such Assignment and
68
Acceptance shall be deemed to amend this Agreement to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of such Purchasing Lender and the resulting adjustment of Commitment Percentages arising from the purchase by such Purchasing Lender of all or a portion of the rights and obligations of such transferor Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower, at its expense, shall execute and deliver to Agent in exchange for the surrendered Notes, new Notes to the order of such Purchasing Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment Percentage in the Loan assumed by it, and if the transferor Lender has retained a Commitment Percentage in the Loan hereunder, new Notes to the order of the transferor Lender in an amount equal to such Commitment Percentage retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the effective date of such assignment, or as of the date of this Agreement, as Agent shall direct.
(c)Pledge. Agent and Lenders may, without the consent of Borrower, pledge all or any portion of the Loan.
27.Special Provisions.
(a)Further Splits and Secondary Market Transactions. Agent and the Lenders shall have the right at any time and from time to time (i) to cause the Loan to be split into two or more separate loans, or (ii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Notes and the Loan Documents (each such severance of the Loan, loan split, securitization, and each of transactions described in Section 26 above, is referred to herein as a “Secondary Market Transaction”). In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Agent and each Lender and otherwise assist Agent and each Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Agent and such Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Secondary Market Transactions, including: (A) to (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, the Collateral (as defined in the Mortgage), Borrower, and its Affiliates, Manager and any tenants of the Property, (ii) provide business plans and budgets relating to the Property and (iii) subject to the rights of tenants at the Property, perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, surveys, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Agent or a Lender or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to Agent or a Lender pursuant to this paragraph (A) being called the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of and/or consents to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Agent and such Lender and the Rating Agencies; (B) cause counsel to render opinions as to non-consolidation and any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Collateral, the Property, Borrower, and its Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Agent and such Lender and the Rating Agencies; (C) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of any Secondary Market Transaction with respect to the Collateral, the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in such transactions and as may be reasonably requested by Agent and
69
such Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; (D) provide current certificates of good standing and qualification with respect to Borrower, and Sole Member from appropriate Governmental Authorities; and (E) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's organizational documents, as may be requested by Agent and such Lender or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect a Secondary Market Transaction, provided that nothing contained in this subsection (E) shall result in a material economic change in the transaction; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 27(a), Borrower shall not be required to (i) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with the Secondary Market Transaction unless Agent or the applicable Lender agrees to pay for such out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred by Borrower (including, without limitation, a change in the Spread (as defined in the Note) or the Stated Maturity of the Loan), (ii) agree to a modification of any Loan Document that would have a material impact upon the rights, liabilities, or responsibilities of Borrower, or (iii) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Borrower. Borrower's cooperation obligations set forth herein shall continue until the Loan has been paid in full.
(b)Use of Information. Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction. If the Disclosure Document is required to be revised, Borrower shall cooperate with Agent and the Lenders in updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Manager, the Collateral and the Property necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.
(c)Borrower's Obligations Regarding Disclosure Documents. In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall: (a) if requested by Agent and/or a Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, the Collateral, the Property, Manager and the Loan, and that such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Agent and/or a Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Agent and/or a Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Agent and the Lenders and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer's directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer Agent or each of the Lenders within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within (iii), the
70
“Lender Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Agent, the Lenders, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Provided Information or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Manager, the Collateral, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Agent and the Lenders for any Liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Agent in writing at the time of Borrower's examination of such Disclosure Document.
(d)Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings. In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Agent and the Lenders, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Agent, Lenders, Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(e)Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 12(c) of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower. If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its discretion. After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party under this Section 27(e), Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower and an indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties.
71
Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(f)Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 12(c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 27(c) or 27(d), Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Lender Group's and Borrower's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Agent, Lenders, and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(g)Severance of Loan. Agent and Lenders shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Agent may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second loan, (ii) create one (1) or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Agent determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. If requested by Agent, Borrower (and Borrower's constituent members, if applicable) shall execute within two (2) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Agent may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance. Borrower shall not be required to (A) incur any out-of-pocket expense in connection with any action taken pursuant to this Section 27(g) unless Agent agrees to pay for such out of pocket expenses as they are incurred by Borrower (including, without limitation, a change in the Spread or the Stated Maturity of the Loan), (B) agree to a modification of any Loan Document that would have a material impact upon the rights, liabilities, or responsibilities of Borrower, or (C) take any actions that would impose a significant burden on Borrower.
72
(h)Retention of Servicer. Agent reserves the right to retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically delegated to the Servicer by Agent, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any pooling and servicing agreement or similar agreement entered into as a result of a Secondary Market Transaction or otherwise, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the Property (or any portion thereof), (ii) in connection with an assumption or modification of the Loan, (iii) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or (iv) in connection with any other action or approval taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Agent (which shall not include ongoing regular servicing fees relating to the day-to-day servicing of the Loan, for which Borrower shall not be charged).
