Subject
to Sections

by
(c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.

Premium. If for any reason Borrowers prepay the Loan on or following the
Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date on a date other than a Payment Date,
Borrowers shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would
have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the

After Default.
If
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment
of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrowers or otherwise recovered
by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender
or
recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Payment
Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment, and (b) to be a voluntary
prepayment by Borrowers in violation of the prohibition against prepayment
set
forth in Section
2.4.1
hereof,
and Borrowers shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield
Maintenance Premium that would be required if a Defeasance Event had occurred

following principal payments or prepayments shall be allocated between the
Loan
and the Mezzanine Loan as follows:

apply any voluntary prepayment first, to payment of the Debt, in any order,
priority and proportions as Lender shall elect from time to time, until the
Debt
is paid in full, and shall then disburse any remainder to (i) Mezzanine Lender

“An
obligee which accelerates the maturity date of the principal and accrued
interest, pursuant to contract, on any loan secured by a . . . deed of trust
on
real property . . ., upon the conveyance of any right, title or interest in
that
property, may not claim, exact or collect any charge, fee, or penalty for any
prepayment resulting from that acceleration.”
“The
provisions of this section shall not apply to [any] loan . . . in which the
obligor has expressly waived, in writing, the right to repay in whole or part
without penalty, or has expressly agreed, in writing, to the payment of a
penalty for prepayment upon acceleration. For any loan executed on or after
January 1, 1984, this waiver or agreement shall be separately signed or
initialed by the obligor and its enforcement shall be supported by evidence
of a
course of conduct by the obligee of individual weight to the consideration
in
that transaction for the waiver or agreement.”
Each
Borrower hereby waives any and all rights of such Borrower under California
Civil Code, Section 2954.10, as amended from time to time, including the right
to prepay the principal owing under either Note or this Agreement without
penalty prior to the Maturity Date and the right to raise California Civil

at
the Tower Parcel that is presently being leased to Xxxxx Day (the “Vacant
Tower Space”),
for a
term commencing on November 4, 2006 and expiring on the date that is five (5)
years from the date hereof (or August 7, 2011) and otherwise in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender. The annual Rent (the “Vacant
Tower Space Rent”)
payable by the Operating Partnership under the Master Tower Lease with respect
to the Vacant Tower Space shall be an amount equal to the lesser of (A)
$6,467,055.00 and (B) an amount equal to the Tower NCF Deficit Amount, in each
case, payable in equal monthly installments on November 1, 2006 and on the
first
(1st) Business Day of each calendar month commencing thereafter.
(b) Upon
Tower Borrower’s written request (a “Master
Tower Lease Release Request”),
with
respect to the Tower Parcel only, made from time to time, but effective on
the
first day of each calendar quarter commencing on January 2, 2007 (each such
quarterly date, an “Adjustment
Date”),
Lender will consent to (i) the release of Vacant Tower Space from the Master
Tower Lease to the extent such space is leased under a New Vacant Tower Space
Lease, and (ii) a reduction of the Vacant Tower Space Rent payable by the
Operating Partnership under the Master Tower Lease, as provided in this
Section
3.1.21(b).
As used
herein, a “New
Vacant Tower Space Lease”
shall
mean a new Lease executed by Tower Borrower as landlord since the preceding
Adjustment Date (or, with respect to the first Adjustment Date, since the
Closing Date), which Lease: (A) produces Rent that is Qualified Income, (B)
demises the Vacant Tower Space (or a portion thereof), (C) has a term of not
less than five (5) years, (D) is with a tenant approved by Lender in its
reasonable discretion, that is not an Affiliate of either of the Borrowers
or
the REIT and that is in occupancy of its premises and paying full unabated
Rent,
(E) is not in default under the New Vacant Tower Space Lease, and (F) is
otherwise approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, all as evidenced
to
the reasonable satisfaction of Lender (such evidence to include a copy of the
applicable Lease and a tenant estoppel certificate and subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement executed by the applicable tenant
in
form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender). In connection with a Master
Tower Lease Release Request, the Vacant Tower Space Rent payable under the
Master Tower Lease with respect to the remainder of the Master Tower Lease
demised premises shall be adjusted, if necessary, to equal the Tower NCF Deficit
Amount on the applicable Adjustment Date.
(c) Upon
Tower Borrower’s written request with respect to the Tower Parcel only (a
“Master
Tower Lease Termination Request”),
Lender will consent to a termination of the Master Tower Lease, effective on
the
earlier to occur of (i) the next occurring Adjustment
43
Date
after Tower Borrower demonstrates that upon termination of the Master Tower
Lease and the entry into New Vacant Tower Space Leases in connection therewith,
there is sufficient Underwritten Net Cash Flow to achieve a minimum Underwritten
Tower Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than 1.20 to 1.00 for
four
(4) consecutive calendar quarters, or (ii) five (5) years after the Closing
Date.
3.1.22 Master
Garage Lease.

Borrower shall, as of the date hereof, enter into a Lease (the “Master
Garage Lease”)
with
the Operating Partnership for 1,211 garage spaces (the “Garage

Date and otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. The annual
Rent
payable by the Operating Partnership under the Master Garage Lease
(“Vacant
Garage Space Rent”)
with
respect to the Garage Spaces shall be an amount equal to the Garage NCF Deficit
Amount as of the date hereof, payable in equal monthly installments on the
first
(1st) day of each calendar month. On each Adjustment Date commencing on January
1, 2007, the Rent payable by the Operating Partnership under the Master Garage
Lease above shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, in Lender’s
reasonable determination, to the then current Garage NCF Deficit Amount. Lender
shall consent to the termination of the Master Garage Lease at such time, if
ever, as the Garage maintains an Underwritten Garage Debt Service Coverage
Ratio
of not less than 1.30:1.0 for four (4) consecutive calendar quarters.
(b) Upon
Garage Borrower’s written request with respect to the Garage only (a
“Master
Garage Lease Termination Request”),
Lender will consent to a termination of the Master Garage Lease, effective
on
the earlier to occur of (i) the Garage having sufficient Underwritten Garage
Net
Cash Flow to achieve a minimum Underwritten Garage Debt Service Coverage Ratio
equal to or greater than 1.30:1.0 for four consecutive calendar quarters, and
(ii) the Maturity Date.

or its counsel shall have received such other and further approvals, opinions,

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES
Section
4.1 Representations
of Borrowers.
Each
Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing
Date that:
4.1.1 Organization.
Such
Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing
with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the
businesses in which it is now engaged. Such Borrower is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required
to be
so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations.
Such
Borrower possesses all rights,
44
licenses,
permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle
it
to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged,
and the sole business of such Borrower is the ownership, management and
operation of its Property. The ownership interests of such Borrower are as
set
forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule
III.
4.1.2 Proceedings.
Such
Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery
and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement
and
the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf
of such Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
such
Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with their respective
terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws
affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability,
to
general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in
a
proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents by such Borrower, its Principal and/or any Guarantor, as applicable,
will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions
of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition
of
any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents)
upon
any of the property or assets of such Borrower pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement,
management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower
is
a party or by which any of such Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor
will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or
any
order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over
such Borrower or any of such Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent,
approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any
such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance
by such Borrower, its Principal and/or any Guarantor, as applicable, of this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force
and
effect.
4.1.4 Litigation.
Except
as disclosed to Lender in writing prior to the date hereof, there are no
actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental
Authority or other agency now pending, or to Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened
against or affecting either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals, any
Guarantor or either of the Properties, which actions, suits or proceedings,
if
determined against one or more of the Borrowers, Principals, Guarantor or the
Properties, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or
otherwise) or business of either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals,
any
Guarantor or the condition or ownership of either of the
Properties.
4.1.5 Agreements.
Such
Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any
restriction which might materially and adversely affect such Borrower or the
Properties or any part thereof, or such Borrower’s business, properties or
assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Such Borrower is not
in
default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment
of
any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement
or
instrument to which it is a party or by which such Borrower or the Properties
or
any part thereof are bound. Such Borrower has no material financial obligation
45
under
any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower or the
Properties or any part thereof are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations
incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted
pursuant to clause (t) of the definition of “Special
Purpose Entity”
set
forth in Section 1.1
hereof,
and (b) Obligations.
4.1.6 Title.
Borrowers have good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real
property comprising part of the Properties or any part thereof, free and clear
of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens
as
are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan
Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and
adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Properties (as currently
used) or Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loan. The Mortgage and the Assignment
of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with
any
Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection
therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the
Properties, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by
the
Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected
collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in
accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable
Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan
Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrowers’ knowledge,
there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the
Properties or any part thereof that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of
equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency.
Neither
Borrower has entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or
executed the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor, and each Borrower received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrowers’
assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed
Borrowers’ total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and
contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrowers’
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of their contingent
liabilities on their debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrowers’
assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not,
constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their respective businesses
as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrowers do not intend to, and
do
not believe that they will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent
liabilities and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such debts and
liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash
to be received by each Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect
of the obligations of each Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed
against either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals or any of their
respective constituent Persons, and none of Borrowers, Principals or any of
their respective constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit
of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of
debtors. None of Borrowers, Principals or any of their respective constituent
Persons is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major
portion of its assets or properties, and
46
Borrowers
have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition
against it, either of the Principals or any of their respective constituent
Persons.
4.1.8 Full
and Accurate Disclosure.
No
statement of fact made by such Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the
other
Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein
not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to such Borrower
which
has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as such
Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Properties or any part thereof
or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of either
Borrower.
4.1.9 No
Plan Assets.
Such
Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself
an “employee
benefit plan,”
as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975
of
the Code, and none of the assets of such Borrower constitutes or will constitute
“plan
assets”
of
one
or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In
addition, (a) such Borrower is not a “governmental
plan”
within
the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (b) transactions by or with such
Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other
restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect
to,
governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar
to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently
in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement including the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under
the
Loan Documents.
4.1.10 Compliance.
Such
Borrower and each Property (including the use thereof) complies in all material
respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building and zoning
ordinances and codes and Prescribed Laws. Such Borrower is not in default or
violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental
Authority. There has not been committed by such Borrower or any other Person
in
occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties or any
part
thereof, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right
of
forfeiture as against the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid
in
performance of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Loan
Documents.
4.1.11 Financial
Information.
All
financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating
expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (a)
are
true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent
the financial condition of each Property as of the date of such reports, and
(c)
to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting
firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered,
except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, such Borrower
does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward
or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any
unfavorable commitments that are known to such Borrower and reasonably likely
to
have a materially adverse effect on the Properties or any part thereof or the
operation thereof as an office building or parking garage, as applicable, except
as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of
such
financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition, operation or business of such Borrower from that set forth in said
financial statements.
47
4.1.12 Condemnation.
No
Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to such Borrower’s best
knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion
of
the Properties or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the
Properties or any portion thereof.
4.1.13 Federal
Reserve Regulations.
No part
of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or
acquiring any “margin
stock”
within
the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation
U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes
prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities
and Public Access.
Each
Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer,
sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property
for
its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full
use
and enjoyment of each Property are located either in the public right-of-way
abutting such Property (which are connected so as to serve such Property without
passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Property
and
such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy.
All
roads necessary for the use of each Property for its current purpose have been
completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental
Authorities.
4.1.15 Not
a
Foreign Person.
Such
Borrower is not a “foreign
person”
within
the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.
4.1.16 Separate
Lots.
Each
Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels, each of which constitutes
a
separate tax lot or lots and none of which constitutes a portion of any other
tax lot not a part of such Property.
4.1.17 Assessments.
There
are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other
assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Properties or
any
portion thereof, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Properties
or any portion thereof that may result in such special or other assessments,
other than the Permitted Encumbrances.
4.1.18 Enforceability.
The
Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
or defense by either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals or Any
Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of
the
terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
the
Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the
enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and no Borrower, Principal or Guarantor
has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with
respect thereto.
48
4.1.19 No
Prior Assignment.
There
are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents or the Vacant
Space Rent due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently
outstanding.
4.1.20 Insurance.
Borrowers have obtained and have delivered to Lender certificates for all
Policies required hereunder, with all premiums currently payable thereunder,
reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth
in
this Agreement. No claims have been made under any such Policies, and no Person,
including either Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything that would
impair the coverage of any such Policies.
4.1.21 Use
of
Property.
The
Tower Parcel is used exclusively as an office building and the Garage is used
exclusively as a parking structure, and, in each case, for other appurtenant
and
related uses.

All
certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of

have

condition, order and repair in all material respects. There exists no structural
or other material defects or damages in the Properties or any portion thereof,
whether latent or otherwise. Neither Borrower has received notice from any
insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any
Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability

the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the
49
Properties,
or any portion thereof, except those which are insured against by the Title
Insurance Policy.
4.1.26 Leases.
(a) The
Properties are not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in
Schedule
I
attached

Either Tower Borrower or Garage Borrower is the owner and holder of landlord’s
interest in each Lease affecting the Properties or any portion thereof. No
Person has any possessory interest in any Property or right to occupy the same
except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases
are in full force and effect and there are no defaults thereunder by either
party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving
of notice, or both, would constitute defaults thereunder. The copies of the
Leases delivered to Lender are true and complete, and there are no oral

due
date. All work to be performed by each Borrower under each Lease has been
performed as required in such Lease and has been accepted by the applicable
tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other
payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by either
Borrower to any tenant have already been received by such tenant. There has
been

or
of the Rents or the Vacant Space Rent received therein which is still in effect.
No tenant listed on Schedule

has
assigned its Lease or sublet all or any portion of the premises demised thereby,
no such tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease, nor
does
anyone except such tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises. No

to purchase all or any part of the Property of which the leased premises are
a
part. No tenant under any Lease has any right or option for additional space
in
the Improvements.

(i) Borrowers
have delivered to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of the Master Leases
(including all amendments thereto and modifications thereof);

under either of the Master Leases;
(iii) As
of the
date hereof, there have been no amendments or modifications to the terms of
either of the Master Leases.
(iv) The
Operating Partnership has not, as of the date hereof, paid Vacant Space Rent

shall make timely and appropriate changes to the “Rent” due under the Master
Leases, and shall notify Operating Partnership of such changes in accordance
with the terms of the Master Leases, such that, at all times, the “Rent” due
each month shall be in compliance with Section
3.1.21
and
Section

The

BORROWER
COVENANTS
Section
5.1 Affirmative
Covenants.
From
the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all Obligations
or
the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage (and all related obligations)
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
Borrowers hereby jointly and severally covenant and agree with Lender
that:
5.1.1 Existence;
Compliance with Legal Requirements.
Each
Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew
and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits
and
franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements
54
applicable
to such Borrower and the Properties or any part thereof, including Prescribed
Laws. There shall never be committed by either Borrower, and neither Borrower
shall permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation
or
use of the Properties or any part thereof to commit, any act or omission
affording the federal government or any state or local government the right
of
forfeiture against the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in
performance of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Each
Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist
any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Each Borrower shall
at
all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names, and
preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of
its
business, and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, and
from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs,
renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully
provided in the Mortgage. Borrowers shall keep the Properties insured at all
times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against
such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully
provided in this Agreement. After prior notice to Lender, either Borrower,
at
its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated
and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal
Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to such Borrower or
the
Properties or any part thereof or any alleged violation of any Legal
Requirement, provided,
that:
(a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such
proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the
provisions of any instrument to which such Borrower is subject and shall not
constitute a default thereunder; (c) such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the
Properties nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest;
(e)
such Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with
any
such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any
violation of any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the
enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against such Borrower and the
Properties or any part thereof; and (g) such Borrower shall furnish such
security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested
by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with
all
interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any
such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement
at
any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability
or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Properties
(or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes
and Other Charges.
Borrowers shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or
assessed or imposed against the Properties, or any part thereof, as the same
become due and payable; provided,
however,
that
Borrowers’ obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as
Borrowers comply with the terms and provisions of Section
7.2
hereof.
Borrowers will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been
so
paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date
on
which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid.
Borrowers shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and
the
Other Charges prior to the date the same shall
55
become
delinquent, provided,
however,
that
Borrowers shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes
if
such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof. Except
to
the extent being contested in accordance with and subject to the terms of this
Agreement, Borrowers shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and
discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge
against the Properties or part thereof, and shall promptly pay for all utility
services provided to the Properties or any part thereof. After prior notice
to
Lender, Borrowers, at their own expense, may contest by appropriate legal
proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any
Taxes or Other Charges, provided, that (a) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under
and
be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any other instrument to
which
Borrowers are subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (c) such
proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws
and ordinances; (d) neither the Properties nor any part thereof or interest
therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or
lost as a result of such contest; (e) Borrowers shall promptly upon final
determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges,
together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in
connection therewith; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such
contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Properties; and (g) Borrowers shall
furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be
requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges,
together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such
cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto
at
any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such
claimant is established or the Properties (or any part thereof or interest
therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled
or
lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed
by
any related Lien.

Borrowers shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or
governmental proceedings pending or threatened against either of the Borrowers,
either of the Principals and/or any Guarantor which might materially adversely
affect such Borrower’s, Principal’s and/or Guarantor’s condition (financial or
otherwise) or business or the Properties or any part thereof.
5.1.4 Access

of Default.
Borrowers shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse change in either
of the Borrower’s, either of the Principal’s or any Guarantor’s condition,
financial or otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default
or
Mezzanine Event of Default of which any Borrower has knowledge.
5.1.6 Cooperate
in Legal Proceedings.
Borrowers shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings
before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way
affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender
56
under
any
of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at
its
election, to participate in any such proceedings.

any
of the foregoing shall be in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, including the provisions of Section 10.13 hereof.
5.1.8 Condemnation
and Insurance Benefits.
Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits
of
any Condemnation Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable
in
connection with the Properties or any part thereof, and Lender shall be
reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrowers of the expense
of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation
affecting the Properties or any part thereof) out of such Insurance
Proceeds.
5.1.9 Further
Assurances.
Borrowers shall, at Borrowers’ sole cost and expense:
(a) furnish
to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation
surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other

Year
basis, in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to

the
financial affairs of each Borrower and all items of income and expense in
connection with the operation of the Properties. Lender shall have the right

57
hours
upon reasonable notice (which may be verbal) to examine such books, records

determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s
interest.
(b) Borrowers
will furnish to Lender annually, within ninety (90) days following the end
of
each Fiscal Year of Borrowers, a complete copy of each Borrower’s annual
financial statements covering the Properties for such Fiscal Year and containing
statements of profit and loss for each Borrower and the Properties and a balance

Operating Expenses. Borrowers’ annual financial statements shall be accompanied
by (i) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income
and expenses for the prior Fiscal Year, (ii) a list of the Major Tenants, (iii)
a breakdown showing the year in which each Lease then in effect expires and

schedule reconciling Net Operating Income to Net Cash Flow (the “Net
Cash Flow Schedule”),
which

Cash
Flow, and (v) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (A) each annual financial
statement fairly presents the financial condition and the results of operations
of Borrowers and the Properties being reported upon and that such financial
statements have been audited and given an unqualified opinion by a “Big
Four”
accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably
acceptable to Lender, which audited financial statements may be in the form
of
schedules to the audited consolidated financial statement (prepared in
accordance with GAAP or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) of
the
REIT, and (B) as of the date thereof, whether there exists an event or
circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Loan
Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers, and if such
Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time
it
has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.
(c) Borrowers
will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before thirty-five
(35)
days after the end of each calendar month the following items (on a Property
by
Property basis and on an aggregate basis for the Properties), accompanied by
an
Officer’s Certificate stating that such items are true, correct, accurate, and
complete and fairly present the financial condition and results of the
operations of Borrowers and the Properties (subject to normal year-end
adjustments): (i) a rent roll for the subject month; (ii) monthly and
year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared
for
each calendar month, noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations,
Vacant Space Rent and Operating Expenses, and, upon Lender’s request, other
information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position
and results of operation of each Property during such calendar month, and
containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income
58
and
expenses together with a detailed explanation of any variances of five percent
(5%) or more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, all in form
satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a calculation reflecting the annual Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of
the
last day of such month; (iv) a Net Cash Flow Schedule; and (v) a statement
of
the rating issued by the Rating Agencies for the senior unsecured debt of Gas
Company and, if all of Gas Company’s leased premises at the Properties are then
guaranteed by Gas Company Parent, Gas Company Parent, as of the last day of
the
subject month. In addition, such Officer’s Certificate shall also state that the
representations and warranties of Borrowers set forth in Section
4.1.30
hereof
are true and correct as of the date of such certificate and that there are
no
trade payables outstanding for more than sixty (60) days.
(d) For
each
Fiscal Year Borrowers shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget for the Properties
not later than forty five (45) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal
Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. The Annual Budget for each
Property shall be subject to Lender’s approval (each such Annual Budget approved
by Lender being referred to herein as an “Approved
Annual Budget”).
In
the event Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrowers
which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, Lender shall advise Borrowers
of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver
to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers
shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender
shall advise Borrowers of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within
ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably
detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise
the
same in accordance with the process described in this Subsection until Lender
approves the Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed
Annual Budget for the Properties that requires the approval of Lender hereunder,
the most recently Approved Annual Budget for the Properties shall apply;
provided,
however,
that
such Approved Annual Budget for the Properties shall be adjusted to reflect
actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities
expenses.
(e) If
Borrowers must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure
not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each, an “Extraordinary
Expense”),
then
Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation
of
such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such Extraordinary
Expense is necessary to prevent material damage to the Properties or any part
thereof or injury to Persons.
(f) If,
at
the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender
expects that Borrowers alone or Borrowers and one or more Affiliates of
Borrowers collectively, or either Property and Related Properties collectively,
will be a Significant Obligor, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender promptly upon
request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income,
required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the
principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off
date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan
together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization
and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in
a
Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty
percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal
59
amount
of
all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the
Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2)
of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan
together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization
may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans
as
of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the
Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or
exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage
loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.
Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A)
within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the
preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than
thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrowers, and (C)
not
later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of
Borrowers; provided,
however,
that
Borrowers shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial
statements pursuant to clauses
(B)
or
(C)
of this
sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange
Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange
Act Filing”)
is not
required. If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender financial
data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Properties or any part
thereof if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be,
with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration
within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as
applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated
tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(g) All
financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers hereunder pursuant
to Section
5.1.11(f)
hereof
shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements
of
Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements
referred to in Section
5.1.11(f)
hereof
shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrowers acceptable to Lender
in
accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements,
shall
be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants
thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all
other
applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually
executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance
acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any
Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name
of
such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants
as “experts”
in
any
Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided
at
the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided.
All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided
by
Borrowers under Section
5.1.11(f)
hereof
shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall
state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the
first sentence of this Section
5.1.11(g).
(h) If
requested by Lender, Borrowers shall provide Lender, promptly upon written
request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial,
statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required
pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto
or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any
Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by
Lender.
60
(i) In
the
event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial
data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB
or
any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements
are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of
Section
5.1.11(g)
hereof,
Lender may request, and Borrowers shall promptly provide, such other financial
data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or
appropriate for such compliance.
(j) Any
reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this
Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a diskette, and (iii)
if
requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrowers’ data systems
without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using
Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may
be
prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).
Borrowers agree that Lender may disclose information regarding the Properties
and Borrowers that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section
5.1.11
in
connection with a Securitization to such parties requesting such information
in
connection with such Securitization.
5.1.12 Business
and Operations.
Borrowers will continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by
them
as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance,
management and operation of the Properties. Each Borrower will qualify to do

as
and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance,
management and operation of the Properties.
5.1.13 Title
to the Properties.
Borrowers will warrant and defend (a) the title to the Properties and every
part
thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted
Encumbrances), and (b) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Mortgage
and
the Assignment of Leases, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including
Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons
whomsoever. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for any losses, costs, damages

expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by
Lender if an interest in the Properties or any part thereof, other than as
permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.
5.1.14 Costs

In the
event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the
Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action
or

to
the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the
bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect

prior consent of Lender.
5.1.18 Confirmation
of Representations.
Borrowers shall deliver upon written request by Lender, in connection with
any
Securitization, (a) one or more Officer’s Certificates certifying as to the
accuracy of all representations made by Borrowers in the Loan Documents as
of
the date of the closing of such Securitization in all relevant jurisdictions,
and (b) certificates of the relevant Governmental Authorities in all relevant
jurisdictions indicating the good standing and qualification of each Borrower
and each Principal as of the date of the Securitization.
5.1.19 Intentionally
Omitted.
5.1.20 Leasing
Matters.
Until
such time as the Vacant Space is fully rented and occupied by tenants paying
rent under New Vacant Space Leases approved by Lender, all Leases executed
after
the date hereof, and all modifications, renewals or terminations of existing
Leases, shall be approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. After all the Vacant Space has been so rented,
any new Major Leases and any Lease
62
modification
or renewal that causes an existing Lease to become a Major Lease, shall be
approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Upon request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender with
executed copies of all Leases. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases
shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates. All
proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain
any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan
Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they
are
subordinate to the Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender
or
any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrowers (a) shall
observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases
in
a commercially reasonable manner; (b) shall enforce and may amend or terminate
the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of
the
lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable
manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Properties or any part
thereof involved except that no termination by any Borrower or acceptance of
surrender by a tenant of any Leases shall be permitted unless by reason of
a
tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve
and
protect the Properties; provided, however, that until such time as the Vacant
Space is fully rented and occupied by tenants paying Rent under New Vacant
Space
Leases approved by Lender, no such termination or surrender of any Lease will
be
permitted without the consent of Lender, and after all the Vacant Space is
so
rented, no such termination or surrender will be allowed with respect to any
Major Lease without the consent of Lender; (c) shall not collect any of the
Rents or the Vacant Space Rent more than one (1) month in advance (other than
security deposits); (d) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s
interest in the Leases or the Rents or the Vacant Space Rent (except as
contemplated by the Loan Documents); (e) shall not alter, modify or change
the
terms of any Lease in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan
Documents nor alter, modify or change the terms of the Master Leases or any
Major Lease, without the prior written consent of Lender; and (f) shall execute
and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations
and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to
time
reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
no Borrower shall enter into a lease of all or substantially all of either
Property or the Properties without Lender’s prior written consent.
5.1.21 Alterations.
Borrowers shall obtain Lender’s prior consent to any alterations to any
Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned
or
delayed except with respect to any alterations to any Improvements which may
have a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ financial condition, the value of
the Properties or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that
will not have a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ financial condition, the
value of the Properties or the Net Operating Income, provided that such
alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement work performed
pursuant to, or alterations permitted without Borrowers’ consent by, the terms
of any Lease approved by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b)
do
not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility
or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building
constituting a part of any Improvements and the aggregate cost thereof does
not
exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), or (c) are performed
in
connection with Restoration after the occurrence of a Casualty in accordance
with the terms and provisions of this
63
Agreement.
If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to
the
Improvements at the Properties (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed
by tenants under the Leases or by disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Funds)
shall at any time exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars
($2,500,000.00) (the “Threshold
Amount”),
Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such
amounts and as additional security for the Obligations any of the following:
(i)
cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities having a rating acceptable
to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing
will
not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of
the
initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or
any
class thereof in connection with any Securitization, (iv) a Letter of Credit,
or
(v) a completion and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank. Such security
shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with
respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Properties (other than such
amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or by disbursements
from the Rollover Reserve Funds) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply
such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such
alterations.
5.1.22 Operation
of Properties.
(a)
Borrowers shall cause the Properties to be operated, in all material respects,
in accordance with applicable Management Agreement or Replacement Management
Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any Management Agreement expires
or
is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to obtain Lender’s
consent to any termination or modification of any Management Agreement in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), the applicable
Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with
Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable.
(b) Borrowers
shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of
the
covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under
any
Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep
unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any
material default under any Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii)
promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan,
capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under
any
Management Agreement (which is not covered by the financial reporting
requirements of Section
5.1.11
hereof);
and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and
agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under any
Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.
5.1.23 Parking
Easement.
(a)
Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, promptly and timely perform
and
observe all the material terms, covenants and conditions required to be
performed and observed by Borrowers under the Parking Easement.
(b) If
Borrowers shall be in default under the Parking Easement, then, subject to
the
terms of the Parking Easement, Borrowers hereby grant Lender the right (but
not
the obligation), to cause the default or defaults under the Parking Easement
to
be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrowers under the
Parking Easement, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default, and Lender
shall have the right to enter all or any
64
portion
of the Easement Parcel at such times and in such manner as Lender deems
necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default.
(c) Upon
the
occurrence of any material default by Easement Grantor under the Parking
Easement, Borrowers shall diligently pursue all of their remedies thereunder
and
at law and in equity to enforce the terms of the Parking Easement and Easement
Grantor’s obligations thereunder.
(d) The
actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by Borrowers under the Parking
Easement shall not remove or waive, as between Borrowers and Lender, any Default
or Event of Default that may occur under this Agreement by virtue of the default
by Borrowers under the Parking Easement. All sums expended by Lender to cure
any
such default shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender, upon demand, with interest
on
such sum at the Default Rate from the date such sum is expended to and including
the date the reimbursement payment is made to Lender. All such indebtedness
shall be deemed to be secured by the Mortgage and the other applicable Loan
Documents.
(e) Borrowers
shall give Lender a copy of all material notices and communications transmitted
between parties to the Parking Easement pursuant or relating to the Parking
Easement. Borrowers shall specifically notify Lender promptly in writing of
the
occurrence of any material default by any Easement Grantor under the Parking
Easement, or the occurrence of any event that, with the passage of time or
service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by Easement
Grantor, and the receipt by Borrowers of any notice (written or otherwise)
from
Easement Grantor, or the transmittal by Borrowers of any notice (written or
otherwise) to Easement Grantor, noting or claiming the occurrence of any default
by any party under the Parking Easement, or the occurrence of any event that,
with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a
default by either party to the Parking Easement. Borrowers shall promptly
deliver to Lender a copy of any such written notice of default.
(f) Within
ten (10) days after receipt of written demand by Lender, Borrowers shall use
reasonable efforts to obtain from Easement Grantor and furnish to Lender the
estoppel certificate of Easement Grantor stating such facts as may be reasonably
requested by Lender with respect to the Parking Easement, including whether
or
not there are any defaults by Easement Grantor or Tower Borrower under the
Parking Easement, and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if
any.
(g) Borrowers
shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments
as
may reasonably be required to permit Lender to cure any default under the
Parking Easement or permit Lender to take such other action required to enable
Lender to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security
interest of Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the Easement Parcel.
Each Borrower irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to
execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of
such
Borrower under or with respect to the Parking Easement, including the right
to
effectuate any extension or renewal of the Parking Easement, or to preserve
any
rights of such Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part
65
of
the
Parking Easement (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable).

From
the date hereof until payment and performance in full of the Obligations or
the

covenant and agree with Lender that they will not do, directly or indirectly,

consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s
discretion.

No
Borrower shall create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion

except: (a) Permitted Encumbrances; (b) Liens created by or permitted pursuant
to the Loan Documents; and (c) Liens for Taxes or Other Charges not yet
due.
5.2.3 Dissolution.
Neither
Borrower shall (a) engage in any dissolution, liquidation, consolidation or
merger with or into any other business entity, (b) engage in any business
activity not related to the ownership and operation of the Properties or any

or
undertake or participate in activities other than the continuance of its present
business.

Cancellation.
Neither

Neither
Borrower shall initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion

Borrowers shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of all
or
any portion of the Properties (a) with any other real property constituting
a
tax lot separate from the Properties, or (b) which constitutes real property

property, or any other procedure whereby the Lien of any taxes which may be
levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged
to

Neither

introductory paragraph of this Agreement without first giving Lender at least
thirty (30) days prior notice. No Borrower shall change the place of its
organization as set forth in Section
4.1.28
hereof
without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. Upon Lender’s request, Borrowers shall execute and
deliver additional financing statements, security agreements and other
instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s
security interest in the Properties as a result of such change of principal
place of business or place of organization. Borrowers’ principal place of
business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrowers keep their
books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless
of
the medium or recording, including software, writings, plans, specifications
and
schematics, has been for the preceding four (4) months (or, if less, the entire
period of the existence of Borrower), and will continue to be, the address
of
Borrowers set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement (unless
Borrowers notify Lender in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date
of such change).
5.2.9 ERISA.
(a) No
Borrower shall engage in any transaction that would cause any obligation, or
action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of
its
rights under the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a
non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited
transaction under ERISA.
(b) Each
Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications
or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as
requested by Lender, that (i) such Borrower is not an “employee
benefit plan”
as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or
a
“governmental
plan”
within
the meaning
67
of
Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) such Borrower is not subject to any state statute
regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to,
governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is

(C) Such
Borrower qualifies as an “operating

or
a
“real
estate operating company”
within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c) or (e).
5.2.10 Transfers.
(a) Borrowers
acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrowers
and their general partners, members, principals and (if any Borrower is a trust)
beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as
the
Properties in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrowers’
ownership of the Properties as a means of maintaining the value of the
Properties as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the
Other Obligations. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has a valid interest in
maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrowers
default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations
contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the
Properties or any portion thereof.
(b) Without
the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set
forth
in this Section
5.2.10,
Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party to, (i) sell,
convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with
respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly,
voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether
or
not for consideration or of record) the Properties or any part thereof or any
legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an
interest in any Restricted Party (clause
(i)
and
(ii)
above,
collectively, a “Transfer”),
other

with the provisions of Section
5.1.20
hereof.
(c) A
Transfer shall include, but not be limited to: (i) an installment sales
agreement wherein any Borrower agrees to sell or convey the Properties, or
any
part thereof or any interest therein, for a price to be paid in installments;
(ii) an agreement by any Borrower leasing all or substantially all of any
Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder, or a
sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest
in,
either Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents or
any Vacant Space Rent; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger,

any
member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited liability company
interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing limited liability company
interests or the creation or issuance of new non-managing limited liability
company interests; (vi) if a Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust,
any
merger, consolidation or the Sale or Pledge of the legal or beneficial interest
in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial
interests; or (vii) the removal or the resignation of the managing agent
(including an Affiliated Manager) other than in accordance with Section
5.1.22
hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section
5.2.10,
the
following transfers shall not be deemed to be a Transfer and shall not require
Lender’s consent and shall not require the payment of any application fee: (i)
the sale or transfer, in one or a series of transactions, of not more than
forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock in a Restricted Party; and (ii) the sale
or transfer, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, of
not
more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the limited partnership interests or
non-managing limited liability company interests (as the case may be) in a
Restricted Party; provided, however, that with respect to each such sale or
transfer (A) no such sales or transfers shall result in the change of voting
control in the Restricted Party, (B) as a condition to each such sale or
transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior notice
of
such proposed sale or transfer, (C) no such sale or transfer of any direct
ownership interests in either Borrower or either Mezzanine Borrower shall be
permitted, (D) Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid any and all costs imposed

a
Restricted Party are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less
than
forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such Restricted Party
as
of the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency
Opinion acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies. In addition, at all times,
except following a transfer of any Property permitted pursuant to Section
5.2.10(f)
hereof,
the Operating Partnership must continue to (1) Control each Borrower and any
Affiliated Manager, and (2) own, directly or indirectly, at least a fifty-one
percent (51%) interest in each Borrower and any Affiliated Manager. The sale,
transfer or issuance of stock in the REIT shall not be deemed a Transfer
hereunder, provided, that the stock of the REIT is listed and traded on the
New
York Stock Exchange or such other nationally recognized stock exchange.
(e) Lender
shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security
or
any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately
due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s written consent. This provision
shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether
or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
69
(f) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any Transfers
or
rights under Section
5.2.10(g)
hereof,
Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its
consent to a Transfer (or to an unlimited number of Transfers) of both
Properties simultaneously by the Borrowers (or the then owner(s) of the
Properties), provided
that
all
of the following terms and conditions are satisfied: (i) the Borrowers (or

Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to each Transfer thereafter; (vi)
the
delivery of an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting the proposed Transfer
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; (vii) the proposed
transferee(s) compliance with the representations and covenants set forth in

Section
5.2.9
hereof;
(viii) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the single purpose
nature and bankruptcy remoteness of the proposed transferee(s), and its(their)
shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, following such Transfer
is in accordance with the then current standards of Lender and the Rating
Agencies; (ix) prior to any release of any Guarantor, a substitute guarantor
acceptable to Lender in its discretion shall have assumed the Guaranty, the
Environmental Indemnity and the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the
Master Leases and the Parking Easement, or executed a replacement guaranty,
environmental indemnity and Master Leases reasonably satisfactory to Lender;
(x)
Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies
to
the effect that such Transfer will not result in a re-qualification, reduction
or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Securities or any
class thereof in any applicable Securitization; (xi) the satisfaction of all
of
the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement;
and (xii) the satisfaction of such other conditions as Lender shall determine

creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the transferee(s) with
respect to the Loan and the Properties.
(g) A
Transfer that occurs by inheritance, devise or bequest or by operation of law
upon the death or disability of a natural Person who holds a direct or indirect
interest in any Borrower, and a Transfer by a natural Person of direct or
indirect interests in either Borrower for estate planning purposes, shall not
require the consent of Lender and no transfer fee shall be payable in connection
therewith, provided,
however,
that,
in each case, such Transfer is to a non-minor member of the immediate family
of
the holder of such interest, or a trust established for the benefit of a member
of the immediate family of the holder of such interest, and provided further
that, in each such case, each of the following transfer conditions are
satisfied:
70
(i) no
Event
of Default or Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured;
(ii) Borrowers
shall give Lender notice of such Transfer together with copies of all
instruments effecting such Transfer not less than ten (10) days prior to the
date of such Transfer, or if any such Transfer or series of Transfers shall
result in any Person that does not own more than a twenty percent (20%) direct
or indirect interest in either Borrower as of the date hereof owning more than
a
twenty percent (20%) direct or indirect interest in either Borrower, Borrowers
shall give Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of such Transfer and
Lender shall have an opportunity to perform its customary credit and background
searches with respect to such transferee, except in the case of the death or
disability of an interest holder, in which event Borrowers shall give Lender
notice of such Transfer within ten (10) Business Days after such
Transfer;
(iii) no
such
Transfer of interest shall result in a change of Control of either Borrower
(or
its managing member/general partner) or the day-to-day operations of any
Property, or, if such Transfer would result in a change of Control of either
Borrower (or its managing member/general partner) or the day-to-day operations
of any Property, as a result of the death or disability of an interest holder
that is a natural Person, Lender shall have approved in good faith the Person
that will Control either Borrower and/or the day-to-day operations of the
applicable Property;
(iv) the
legal
and financial structure of each Borrower and its shareholders, partners or
members, and the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of either
Borrower and its shareholders, partners or members, after such Transfer shall
satisfy Lender’s then current applicable underwriting criteria and requirements;
(v) if,
after
taking into account any prior Transfers pursuant to this Section
5.2.10(g),
whether
to the proposed transferee or otherwise, such Transfer (or series of Transfers)
shall result in (A) the proposed transferee, together with all members of
his/her immediate family or any Affiliates thereof, owning in the aggregate
(directly, indirectly or beneficially) more than forty-nine percent (49%) of
the
interests in either Borrower (or any entity directly or indirectly holding

confirmations from the Rating Agencies that such Transfer or series of Transfers
will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then
applicable ratings of the Securities; and
(vi) Borrowers
shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such
Transfer, including the cost of any third party reports, legal fees and
expenses, Rating Agency fees and expenses and required legal opinions.
71
(h) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Operating Partnership, or its
upstream Affiliates, shall have the right to, and may, pledge, without Lender’s
consent, its indirect equity interests in Borrowers, other than any direct
interests in Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers, to secure (i) a loan facility
or
loan facilities to Operating Partnership or its upstream Affiliates, other
than
Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers, from a group of lenders for which Credit
Suisse acting through its New York branch will act as initial administrative
and
collateral agent, and (ii) related hedging arrangements in connection therewith
without Lender’s consent; provided, however, that in either case, Operating
Partnership or its upstream Affiliates (other than Borrowers or Mezzanine
Borrowers) pledges, directly or indirectly, its equity interests in
substantially all of the property owning subsidiaries in which Operating
Partnership holds a direct or indirect interest, and provided further that
any

the
Mortgage provided that such covenants and any related agreements are in form
and
substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and further provided that no such
covenants or agreements shall result in (i) a violation of any License for
the
Garage, (ii) a breach of the terms of any Lease at the Tower Parcel,
(iii)
the impairment of, or interference with, any obligation under any Lease at
the
Tower Parcel to provide parking at the Garage or (iv) a material adverse effect

in
Section
2.7
hereof,
all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection
(iii)

required to incur a cost for such terrorism coverage that is in excess of one
hundred and fifty percent (150%) of all other insurance coverage required
pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) for the
immediately preceding annual policy period. In the event that
the
annual premium for terrorism coverage in an amount equal to the "Full
Replacement Cost" coverage exceeds the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrowers shall
be required to maintain as much terrorism coverage as is available for a premium
equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap; and

amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other
insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties
similar to the Properties located in or around the region in which the
Properties are located.
(b) All
insurance provided for in Section
6.1(a)
shall be
obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies”
or
in
the singular, the “Policy”),
and
shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts,

Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only
by
such Rating Agency, or (ii) sixty percent (60%) shall have a claims paying
ability rating of “A”
or

by
such Rating Agency, and the remaining forty percent (40%) of which shall have
a
claims paying ability rating of “BBB-”
or
better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies
rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the

6.1(a)
hereof
(other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate
Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the
expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates
of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to
Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance
Premiums”),
shall
be delivered by Borrowers to Lender.
(c) The
insurance coverage required under this Section
6.1
may be
effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Properties and other
property and assets not constituting a part of the Properties; provided that
any
blanket Policy shall specify, except in the
76
case
of
general liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such blanket
Policy that is allocated exclusively to each Property and shall comply in all
respects with the requirements of this Section
6.1.
Lender
hereby confirms that it approves (i) the terms of the existing “Property
Insurance Sharing Agreement”
among
Borrowers and certain of its Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance Premiums
are financed through one or more finance companies (individually and/or
collectively, the “Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement”)
to
whom Borrower’s pay Borrowers’ allocable share of the annual initial deposit and
the monthly payments due for each blanket Policy to the applicable finance
company (with respect to each blanket Policy, such monthly payment, together
with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share of the annual initial deposit
necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such Policy at least thirty
(30) days prior to its due date, each, a “Financing
Installment”).
(d) All
Policies provided for or contemplated by Section
6.1(a)
hereof,
except for the Policy referenced in Section
6.1(a)(v)
hereof,
shall name Borrowers as the insured and Lender (and its Affiliates) as
additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property
damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain
a
so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender
providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All
Policies provided for in Section
6.1
hereof
shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no
act or
negligence of either Borrower, or anyone acting for either Borrower, or of
any
tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any
Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any
part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the
insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the
Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage
provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to
Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the
issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been
renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender
shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any
assessments thereunder.
(f) If
at any
time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in
full
force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrowers,
to
take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the
Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender deems
appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action
or
in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers
to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and
shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
77
Section
6.2 Casualty.
If
either Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire
or
other casualty (a “Casualty”),
Borrowers shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b)
promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so
that
such Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such Property
was
in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be
reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section
6.4
hereof.
Borrowers shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs
are
covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof
of
loss if not made promptly by Borrowers. In addition, Lender may participate
in
any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve
any
final settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or
the
costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) and Borrowers shall
deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such
participation.
Section
6.3 Condemnation.
Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any proceeding in respect of any Condemnation affecting any
Property, and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in
connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such
proceedings, and Borrowers shall from time to time deliver to Lender all
instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such participation.
Borrowers shall, at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings,
and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with
them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding
any
taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise
(including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise
of
such taking), Borrowers shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time
and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Condemnation
Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the
deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the
Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the
Condemnation Proceeds by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Condemnation Proceeds interest at the rate or
rates provided herein or in the Notes. If any Property or any portion thereof
is
taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrowers shall promptly commence and
diligently prosecute Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise comply
with the provisions of Section
6.4
herein.
If any Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt
by Lender of the Condemnation Proceeds, Lender shall have the right, whether
or
not a deficiency judgment on either Note shall have been sought, recovered
or
denied, to receive the Condemnation Proceeds, or a portion thereof sufficient
to
pay the Debt.
Section

78
Borrowers
deliver to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to
satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration of such Property
in

(b) If
the
Net Proceeds with respect to either Property are equal to or greater Two Million
Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00), or the costs of

shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments

Restoration of such Property.
(ii) The
Net
Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing
account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this
Section
6.4(b),
shall
constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The
Net

The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in
such
Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall

All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net
Proceeds available for the Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by
Borrowers.
(iv) In
no
event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time
for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty

Retainage”
shall
mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in
Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred
for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage
shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above
in this Section
6.4(b),
be less
than the amount actually held back by Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors
and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not
be
released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration
has
been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.4(b)
and that
all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of such Property have
been
obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been
paid
in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided,
however,
that
Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with
respect to any
81
contractor,
subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon
which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has
supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s,
subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all
sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably
requested by Lender or by the Title Company issuing the Title Insurance Policy,
and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the
continued priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment
of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release
of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety
company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect
to
the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(vi) If
at any
time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the
opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient
to
pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty
Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration,
Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net
Proceeds Deficiency”)
with
Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall
be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration
on
the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and
until so disbursed pursuant to this Section
6.4(b)
shall
constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other
Obligations.
(vii) The
excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration of the applicable Property has been
completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
6.4(b),
and the
receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred
in
connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender (I) to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, or (II) if the Mezzanine
Loan has been paid in full, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred
and
shall be continuing, to Borrowers.
(c) All
Net
Proceeds not required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) to be made
available for Restoration, or (ii) to be returned to a Borrower as excess Net
Proceeds pursuant to Section
6.4(b)(vii)
hereof,
may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section
2.4.2
hereof
toward reduction of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order,
priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, or,
in
Lender’s discretion, the same may be paid, (A) if the Mezzanine Loan is
outstanding, to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, or (B) if the Mezzanine
Loan has been paid in full, to Borrowers either in whole or in part, for such
purposes as Lender shall approve in its discretion. No prepayment charge shall
be payable by Borrowers by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation so
82
long
as
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to such Casualty or
Condemnation.
(d) In
the
event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to any Property
or Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right,
title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket
Policies then in force concerning such Property or Properties and all proceeds
payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure
or
Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of
title.

7.1.1 Deposits.
On the
Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on
Schedule II attached hereto and made a part hereof, to perform the Required
Repairs multiplied by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%). Amounts so
deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section
7.6
hereof.
Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’
“Required
Repair Funds”
and
the
account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as
Borrower’s “Required
Repair Account”.
Borrowers shall perform the repairs at the Properties as more particularly
set
forth on Schedule
II
hereto
(such repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required
Repairs”).
Borrowers shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline
for each repair as set forth on Schedule
II.
It
shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrowers do not
complete the Required Repairs by the required deadline for each repair as set
forth on Schedule
II
(except
for postponement of such deadlines as a result of Unavoidable Delays), or (b)
Borrowers do not satisfy each condition contained in Section
7.1.2
hereof.
Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may
withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender
may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs or toward
payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may
determine. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be
in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.1.2 Release
of Required Repair Funds.
(a)
Lender shall disburse to Borrowers the Required Repair Funds from the Required
Repair Account from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any
thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrowers of each of the following
conditions with respect to each disbursement: (i) Borrowers shall submit a
written request for payment to Lender (with a copy to the Title Company) at
least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Borrowers request such payment
be made, which request specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the

have received an Officer’s Certificate for each Borrower (A) stating that all
Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed
in a good and
83
workmanlike
manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws,

to
Lender, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in
connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement,
and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid

evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company, (iv) Lender
shall have received a title search indicating that the Properties are free
from
all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender,
and
(v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably
request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement
have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement
to
Borrowers. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required
Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than
$5,000.00 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account
is less than $5,000.00, in which case only one disbursement of the amount
remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made
only
upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section
7.1.2.
(b) Nothing
in this Section
7.1.2
shall
(i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs;
(ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Required Repairs Funds
to
complete any Required Repairs; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any
Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrowers additional
sums to complete any Required Repairs.
(c) Borrowers
shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s
engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Properties
during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their
Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being
used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating
to such Required Repairs. Borrowers shall cause all contractors and
subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such
other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this
Section
7.1.2(c).
(d) If
a
disbursement will exceed $50,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the
applicable Property or Properties at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a
disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the
Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that
such
inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional
selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent
qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement
of Required Repairs Funds. Borrowers shall pay the expense of the inspection
as
required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an
independent qualified professional architect.
(e) In
addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall
provide or cause to be provided worker’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk,
84
and
public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under
applicable law in connection with the Required Repairs. All such policies shall
be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
7.1.3 Balance
in Required Repair Account.
The
insufficiency of any balance in the Required Repair Account shall not relieve
Borrowers from their obligation to perform the Required Repairs in a good and
workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
Section
7.2 Tax
and Insurance Escrow Funds.
Borrowers shall pay to Lender (i)(A) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to
$2,029,336.48 and (i)(B) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes that
Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months
in
order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least
thirty (30) days prior to their delinquency date, and (ii)(A) on the Closing
Date, an amount equal to $288,259.50 (the “Initial
Blanket Insurance Premium Installment”)
and
(ii)(B) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the
Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the applicable
Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (ii)(C) with respect
to
any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such Insurance
Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage
afforded by the Policies for an annual period upon the expiration thereof in
order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance
Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies
(said
amounts in the preceding clauses
(i)
and
(ii)
being
hereinafter called the “Tax
and Insurance Escrow Funds”).
Such
amounts will be transferred by Lender to an account held by Lender (the
“Tax
and Insurance Escrow Account”).
The
Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the Monthly Interest Payment shall be added
together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrowers to Lender. Provided
no Event of Default shall exist, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by
Borrowers pursuant to Sections
5.1.2
and
6.1
hereof
and under the Mortgage and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company
under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as
applicable. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Funds, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured
from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent
(with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of
such
xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums pursuant to Sections
5.1.2
and
6.1
hereof,
Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax
and Insurance Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow
Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be transferred to the Mezzanine
Cash Management Account or, if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full,
returned to Borrowers. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the
Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the applicable Property
and/or Properties. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in
clauses
(i)
and
(ii)
above,
Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase
their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that
85
Lender
estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days
prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the
case
may be. All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall
become part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and shall be disbursed in
accordance with this Section
7.2.
If
Lender so elects at any time, Borrowers shall provide, at Borrowers’ expense, a
tax service contract for the term of the Loan issued by a tax reporting agency
acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrowers shall reimburse
Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the term of the
Loan.

7.4 Rollover
Reserve.
7.4.1 Deposits
to Rollover Reserve Funds.
(a) On
the
Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amount of $4,000,000.00
to
pay for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Borrowers after the date hereof.
On each Payment Date Borrowers shall pay to Lender the sum of $171,000.00,
which
amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for Approved Leasing Expenses
incurred following the date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any
period in which the total deposits of Rollover Reserve Funds equal or exceed
$4,000,000.00, Borrowers shall not be required to make any further deposits
to
the Rollover Reserve Funds. In the event the balance of the Rollover Escrow
Fund
shall thereafter be reduced to less than $4,000,000.00, Borrowers shall again
deposit with Lender, commencing on the next Monthly Payment Date, the monthly
amount set forth above until the total amount of the Rollover Reserve Funds
on
deposit with Lender shall equal $4,000,000.00. In addition, notwithstanding
any
limitations on the amount to be deposited in the Rollover Reserve Funds,
Borrowers shall pay to Lender for deposit with Lender those additional funds
described in Section
7.4.1(b)
hereof.
All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the
“Rollover
Reserve Funds”
and
the
account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as
the
“Rollover
Reserve Account”.
(b) In
addition to the required deposits set forth in Section
7.4.1(a)
above,
the following items shall be deposited into the Rollover Reserve Account and
held as Rollover Reserve Funds, which Rollover Reserve Funds shall be held
by
Lender and disbursed only in accordance with Section
7.4.2
below.
Each Borrower shall advise Lender at the time of receipt thereof of the nature
of such receipt so that Lender shall have sufficient time to instruct the
Deposit Bank to deposit and hold such amounts in the Rollover Reserve Account
pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement:
(i) All
sums
paid with respect to (A) a modification of any Lease or otherwise paid in
connection with such Borrower taking any action under any Lease (e.g., granting
a consent) or waiving any provision thereof, (B) any settlement of claims of
such Borrower against third parties in connection with any Lease; (C) any
rejection, termination, surrender or cancellation of any Lease (including in
any
bankruptcy case) or any lease buy-out or surrender payment from any tenant
(including any payment relating to unamortized tenant improvements and/or
leasing commissions) (collectively “Lease
86
Termination
Payments”),
and/or (D) any sum received from any tenant to obtain a consent to an assignment
or sublet or otherwise, or any holdover rents or use and occupancy fees from
any
tenant or former tenant (to the extent not being paid for use and occupancy
or
holdover rent); and
(ii) Any
other
extraordinary event pursuant to which such Borrower receives payments or income
(in whatever form) derived from or generated by the use, ownership or operation
of a Property or Properties not otherwise covered by this Agreement or the
Cash
Management Agreement.
7.4.2 Withdrawal

paid for by Borrowers shall be made by joint check, payable to Borrowers and
the
applicable contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor, broker

Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrowers’
expense prior to making a disbursement in order to verify compliance with the
requirements of this Section
7.4.2.
For so
long as Gas Company Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, requests for
disbursements to pay Approved Leasing Expenses for the Gas Company Space shall
be made from the Gas Company Reserve Funds, and not from Rollover Reserve Funds.
Section
7.5 Gas
Company Reserve Funds.
7.5.1 Deposit
of Gas Company Reserve Funds.
In the
event that (a) Gas Company shall not have exercised the extension option
contained in the Gas Company Lease on or prior to May 8, 2010, or (b) Gas
Company vacates or gives notice of its intent to vacate the Gas Company Space
or
otherwise closes its business for any reason (other than during the period
from
the occurrence of a Casualty affecting the Tower Parcel through the date the
damage to the Tower Parcel from such Casualty is restored and repaired), unless
the long term unsecured debt rating of Gas Company (or if rated higher, the
long
term unsecured debt rating of any parent company of Gas Company providing a
lease guaranty of the Gas Company Lease) is “BBB” or better or Gas Company has
sublet all of the Gas Company Space for a term equal to the lesser of five
(5)
years or the remaining term of the Gas Company Lease, at a Full Service Gross
Rent that is not less than the Full Service Gross Rent payable by Gas Company
under the Gas Company Lease and such sublease shall otherwise be on such terms
and conditions and demised to such subtenant or subtenants as shall be
acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion and otherwise in compliance
with the provisions of Section
5.1.20
hereof;
or (c) Gas Company is in default under the Gas Company Lease beyond any
applicable grace and cure periods, or (d) Gas Company is the subject of a
Bankruptcy Action, or (e) Gas Company (or, if a lease guaranty is provided
by
Gas Company’s parent company for all of the obligations of Gas Company under the
Gas Company Lease, such parent company) fails to maintain an Investment Grade
Rating (a “Downgrade
Sweep Event”)
(the
occurrence of any of such events described in clauses
(a),
(b),
(c),
(d),
or
(e)
is
hereinafter referred to as an “Gas
Company Trigger Event”);
then
on each Payment Date following the occurrence of any such Gas Company Trigger
Event, Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash Flow (such funds so deposited
being referred to herein as the “Gas
Company Reserve Funds”)
into
an account (the “Gas
Company Reserve Account”)
held
by Lender (it being specifically agreed and understood that Borrowers shall
be
required to continue to make such deposits of Excess Cash Flow into the Gas
Company Reserve Account until a Gas Company Sweep Termination (as defined below)
occurs Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Gas Company Trigger
Event is a Downgrade Sweep Event, and no other Gas Company Trigger Event then
exists, the total amount of the deposits in the Gas Company Reserve Account
shall be limited to $30,000,000.00; provided, however, that such deposits in
the
Gas Company Reserve Account shall be increased to $60,000,000.00 if the long
term unsecured debt rating of Gas Company (or, if rated higher, the long term
unsecured debt rating of any parent company of Gas Company providing a lease
guaranty of the Gas Company Lease) is less than “BB-” from (i) prior to a
Securitization, S&P and (ii) after a Securitization, any one of Xxxxx’x,
S&P, Fitch or any other nationally-recognized statistical rating agency
rating the Securities). The Gas Company Reserve Account shall be held by Lender
as additional security for the Obligations and disbursed to Borrower in
accordance with the provisions of Section
7.5.2.
Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of a Gas Company Trigger Event,
Borrower’s failure to deposit all Excess Cash Flow into the Gas Company Reserve
Account shall constitute
88
an
Event
of Default. If at any time during the term of the Loan after the occurrence
of a
Gas Company Trigger Event, a Gas Company Sweep Termination occurs, then provided
no Event of Default exists, all amounts in the Gas Company Reserve Account
will
be released to Borrowers. Each subsequent time a Gas Company Trigger Event
occurs during the term of the Loan, all Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited
into
the Gas Company Reserve Account as set forth above until, if ever, a Gas Company
Sweep Termination occurs. For purposes hereof, the term “Gas
Company Sweep Termination”
shall
mean the occurrence of the following: (i) with respect to the Gas Company
Trigger Event described in clause
(a)
above,
Gas Company shall have exercised its option to extend the Gas Company Lease
pursuant to and in accordance with the Gas Company Lease. (ii) with respect

satisfactory to Lender that all the Gas Company Replacement Lease Requirements
have been satisfied; (iii) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event
described in clause
(c)
above,
Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that
Gas Company is no longer in default under the Gas Company Lease or that the
Gas
Company Replacement Lease Requirements have been satisfied, or (iv) with respect
to the Gas Company Trigger Event described in clause
(d)
above,
the Bankruptcy Action is dismissed with prejudice or a reorganization plan
satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion is approved by the bankruptcy
court, the Gas Company Lease is assumed as part of such reorganization plan
and
all defaults under the Gas Company Lease are cured and Gas Company provides
security for its obligations under the Gas Company Lease satisfactory to Lender
in its sole discretion; and (v) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event
described in clause
(e)
above,
Gas Company (or, if rated higher, the long term unsecured debt rating of any
parent company of Gas Company providing a lease guaranty of the Gas Company
Lease) achieves an Investment Grade Rating and maintains such Investment Grade
Rating for a period of not less than one (1) year, and (vi) with respect to
any
Gas Company Trigger Event described in clauses
(a),
(b),
(c),
(d),
or
(e)
above,
the Tower Parcel maintains an Underwritten Tower Debt Service Coverage Ratio
of
not less than 1.20:1.0 for four consecutive calendar quarters following the
occurrence of the Gas Company Trigger Event.
7.5.2 Disbursement
of Gas Company Reserve Funds.
If any
portion of the Gas Company Space (or, if no Rollover Reserve Funds are on
deposit with Lender, any other portion of the Tower Parcel) is demised to a
tenant approved by Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to a Lease approved
by
Lender in its sole discretion, then the funds in the Gas Company Reserve Account
shall be made available by Lender for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by
Tower Borrower with respect to such tenant. Provided that no Event of Default
shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall make disbursements as requested,
in
writing, by Borrowers on a monthly basis in increments of no less than
$50,000.00 upon compliance by Borrowers with the conditions set forth in
Section
7.4.2.
In
addition, in the event that, on any Payment Date, the amount on deposit in
the
Cash Management Account, after application of funds therein to pay the amounts
set forth in Section
2.7.2(b)(i),
is
insufficient to pay the Monthly Interest Payment
89
and
any
other amounts then payable by Borrowers to Lender under the Loan Documents,
Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion,
to
apply the Gas Company Reserve Funds to the payments of any such amounts. For
so
long as Rollover Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, requests for
disbursements to pay Approved Leasing Expenses for space other than the Gas
Company Space shall be made as disbursements of Rollover Reserve Funds, and
not
as disbursement of Gas Company Reserve Funds.

have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (vi) stating that all
previous disbursements of Sidley Austin Reserve Funds have been used to pay
the
previously identified as “Refurbishment Allowance”, (vii) stating that all
outstanding trade payables which relate to the “Refurbishment Allowance” are
then to be paid (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement

in full, and (viii) stating that the related “Refurbishment Allowance” have been
paid in full or will be paid for in full from the requested disbursement, (c)

of $50,000.00 and not already paid for by Borrowers shall be made by joint
check, payable to Borrowers and the applicable contractor, supplier,
materialman, mechanic, subcontractor, broker or other party to whom payment
is
due in connection with such disbursement. Lender may require an inspection
of
the premises demised to Sidley Austin at the Tower Parcel at Borrowers’ expense
prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of the
improvements for which the “Refurbishment Allowance” reimbursement is
sought.
Section
7.7 Reserve
Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrowers
grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the
Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each reserve
account as additional security for payment and performance of the Obligations.
Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall
constitute additional security for the Obligations. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any
and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then
present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Debt in
any
order in its discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds
and
may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) Borrowers
shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign
or grant any security interest in any Reserve Funds or the monies deposited
therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to
be
made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender
as
the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c) The
Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest
at a
money market rate selected by Lender. Provided that no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, all interest or other earnings on any of the
Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, which
shall belong to Lender) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve
Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies comprising
such
Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums
on
deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments, provided
that (i)
such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this
size,
category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal,
state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the
Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve
Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds
were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state
or
local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the
Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds). No
other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth
in
this Section
7.7.
Borrowers shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of
the
sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be
91
deducted
from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such
income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall
be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no
liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment
of
the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d) Borrowers,
jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless
from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities,
losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs
and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way
connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for
which
the Reserve Funds were established. Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights
and claims any Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials
or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds;
provided,
however,
that
Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has
occurred and remains uncured.

Section
8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon
the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Borrowers or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender
at
any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall
be
declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender
shall
be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender
may determine, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers agree that if an
Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law (i)
Lender shall not be subject to any “one
action”
or
“election
of remedies”
law
or
rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided
to
Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all
of
its remedies against the Properties and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold
and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations
have been paid in full.
(b) Lender
shall have the right from time to time to sever the Notes and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security
documents (the “Severed
Loan Documents”)
in
such denominations as Lender shall determine for purposes of evidencing and
enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrowers shall execute
and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender,
a
severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order
to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrowers hereby absolutely and
irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with
an
interest, in their name and xxxxx to make and execute all documents necessary
or
desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrowers ratifying all that their
said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided,
however,
Lender
shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3)
days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to
exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection
with a Securitization pursuant to Section
9.1
hereof,
(i) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred
in
connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed
Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any
representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents
and
any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents
will be given by Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.
(c) Except
as
limited by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to
partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured
by
the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender, including the
following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any
applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of
principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to
95
recover
such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate
less
than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage
to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums
secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial
foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure
payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously
recovered.
(d) Any
amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan
after
an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest
and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan
Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender
determines.
(e) The
rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative
and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have
against Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies
may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such
order as Lender may determine. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy,
right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy,
right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy,
right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrowers
shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of
Default by Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.

SPECIAL
PROVISIONS
Section
9.1 Sale
of Notes and Securitization.
(a)

multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior
notes) (“Multiple
Notes”)
and/or
issue one or more participations therein, which restructuring may include
reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan or the restructuring of a portion
of the Loan into one or more mezzanine loans to the owners of the direct and/or
indirect equity interests in either Borrower, secured by a pledge of such
interests, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated
single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”)
secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan
and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that includes the Loan and the Loan
Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively,
a
“Securitization”).
At
the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided
by
Borrowers under this Agreement, Borrowers shall use reasonable efforts to
provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably
required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender
customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors
and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization, including

verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters
of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably
acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(ii) assist
in
preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating
Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service

their
respective Affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested
or
required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(iii) deliver
(A) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and

organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the
Rating Agencies;
(iv) if
required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other
agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Properties, which estoppel
letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(v) make
such
representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization
with
respect to the Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Guarantor and the Loan
Documents as may be reasonably requested by 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;
(vi) execute
such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the
Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new
component notes to replace the original Notes or modify the original Notes,
this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect multiple components of the
Loan (and such new notes or modified Notes shall have the same initial weighted
average coupon of the original Notes and provide for the same total amortization
payments, but each such new note or modified Notes may have different interest
rates and provide for varying amortization payments), and modify the Cash
Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that
the
pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of
Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies
shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating
levels for the Loan; provided,
however,
that
Borrowers shall not be required to modify any of the Loan Documents if such
modification or amendment would (A) have a material adverse economic effect
on
Borrowers or (B) modify or amend the Loan term, amortization or any other
economic term of the Loan or otherwise materially adversely increase the
obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrowers under
97
the
Loan
Documents, including modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, events of
default, or remedy provisions, or the organizational documents of either of
the
Borrowers or its Affiliates;
(vii) if
requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers,
Principals, Guarantor, Manager and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary
or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement
(including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure
document to be used by Lender or any Affiliate thereof; and
(viii) supply
to
Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports as may be in the
possession or control of any Borrower or its Affiliates in form and substance
required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
(b) All
reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrowers or Guarantor
in
connection with Borrowers complying with requests made under clause (a) of
this
Section
9.1
(including the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by
Borrowers, except that Lender shall reimburse Borrowers for all such costs
and
expenses in excess of $25,000.00.
(c) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section
9.1(a)
hereof
to the contrary, and without limiting the provisions of Section 9.7.1
and/or
9.7.2
hereof,
Borrowers covenant and agree that after the Closing Date and prior to a
Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest
rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances of each of
the
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan between each other and to require the payment of
the
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated
by
Lender; provided,
however,
that
the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan following
any such reallocation or modification shall not be changed from the weighted
average interest rate in effect immediately preceding such reallocation or
modification; but, provided further, that such modifications may, as a result
of
prepayments pursuant to which Lender expressly has the right to repay the Loan
and the Mezzanine Loan disproportionately, subsequently change the weighted
average interest rate.
(d) In
connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a portion of the Loan,
Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including payment
dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc) under the Loan Documents,
by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a “Re-Dating”).
Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating. If Borrowers
fail to cooperate with Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written request
by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as Borrowers’ attorney-in-fact, coupled
with an interest, to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish
the
Re-Dating such power being irrevocable and coupled with an
interest.
(e) All
reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrowers, Guarantor
or
Lender in connection with Borrowers complying with requests made under
clauses
(c)
and
(d)
of this
Section
9.1
(including the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by
Lender.
98
Section
9.2 Securitization

(a) Borrowers
understand that certain of the Provided Information may be included in
Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization 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 relating to the
Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be
revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrowers will cooperate with
the
holder of the Notes in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete
in
all material respects.
(b) The
Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization,
an
indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons
have
carefully examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents regarding the
Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Manager and/or the Loan (to the extent such
information relates to or includes any Provided Information) (collectively
with
the Provided Information, the “Covered
Disclosure Information”),
and
(B) that the Covered Disclosure Information does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in
order
to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which
they
were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender,
any
Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the
Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with
the
Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement
agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any
other
co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities
issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors,
partners, members, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each
Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section
15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified
Person”
and
collectively, the “Indemnified
Persons”),
for
any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including legal
fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the
“Liabilities”)
to
which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in any of the Disclosure Documents, but only
to
the extent based upon Provided Information, and which untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers
after
Borrowers have had an opportunity to review the Disclosure Document, or 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 therein or necessary
in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) agreeing
to
reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred
by
such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating
or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition
to
any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification
provided for in clauses
(ii)
and
(iii)
above
shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement described
in clause
(i)
above is
provided.
99
(c) In
connection with the Exchange Act Filing, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and
severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to
which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact in the Provided Information, or the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided
Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not
expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have had an
opportunity to review such Exchange Act Filing, and (ii) to reimburse each
Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such
Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or
investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the
commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect
thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying
Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided,
however,
that
the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this
Section
9.2
except
to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and,
provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall
not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person
otherwise than under the provisions of this Section
9.2.
If any
such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it
shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall
be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.
After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its
election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person
shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided,
however,
if the
defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one
hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified
Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses
available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in
addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person
or Persons 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 Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its
counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and
disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement
hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to
substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to
the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder
to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable
for
the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified
Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to
any
Indemnifying Person.
100
(e) Without
the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise
or
consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action,
suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder
(whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such
claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have
given Lender reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an
unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability
arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as an
Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify
hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement
made
by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed).
(f) The
Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought
pursuant to this Section
9.2
is
finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is
insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to
the
Liabilities that are the subject of this Section
9.2),
then
the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on
the
other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification
or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons,
on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the
transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y)
if
the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable
law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying
Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as
well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions
of
this Section
9.2,
(A) no
party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to
contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such
fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in
no
event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively
pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting
discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in
connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(g) The
Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and
reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section
9.2
shall
apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits,
claims or other proceedings. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the
Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this
Section
9.2.
(h) The
rights liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the
Indemnifying Persons under this Section
9.2
shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge
of
the Obligations.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall have no obligation
to
act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with
respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
101
Section
9.3 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
9.4 Exculpation.
Subject
to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrowers (or any of Borrowers’ members, managers, partners
shareholders, officers, directors or Affiliates, whether direct or indirect,
collectively, the “Borrower
Parties”)
to
perform and observe the obligations contained in the Notes, this Agreement,
the
Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a
money
judgment shall be sought against either Borrower, except that Lender may bring
a
foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate
action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest
under the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents,
or
in any or all of the Properties, the Rents, the Vacant Space Rent or any other
collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided,
however,
that,
except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers or the Borrower Parties only
to the extent of Borrowers’ or the Borrower Parties’ interest in the Properties,
in the Rents, in the Vacant Space Rent and in any other collateral given to
Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and
the
other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any
deficiency judgment against either Borrower or the Borrower Parties in any
such
action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Notes,
this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of
this
Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment
of
any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair
the
right of Lender to name Borrowers as party defendants in any action or suit
for
foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or
enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the
rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to
obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the
Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a
deficiency judgment against Borrowers in order to fully realize the security
granted by the Mortgage or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding
in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Properties; or (g)
constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any
actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation
incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred)
arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud
or
intentional misrepresentation by either Borrowers or any Guarantor in connection
with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO;
(ii) the
gross
negligence or willful misconduct of either of the Borrowers, any Guarantor,
either of the Principals or any other Restricted Party;
(iii) the
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision
in
the Environmental Indemnity, the Parking Easement or in the Mortgage concerning
environmental laws, hazardous substances or asbestos and any indemnification
of
Lender with respect thereto in any Loan Document;
102
(iv) wrongful
removal or destruction by either Borrower or any Affiliate of either Borrower
of
any portion of the Properties after the occurrence of an Event of Default or
any
intentional physical waste of the Properties or any portion thereof by either
Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, provided,
however,
that
such physical waste shall exclude wear and tear to the Properties or any portion
thereof that occurs in the ordinary course of business of the
Properties;
(v) any
Legal
Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by either Borrower of
either of the Properties, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or
purported conduct of criminal activity by any Borrower or any Restricted Party
in connection therewith;
(vi) any
misrepresentation, miscertification or breach of warranty by either Borrower
or
any Guarantor with respect to any representation, warranty or certification
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document
executed in connection therewith, pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or
otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to
release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow)
or to take other action with respect to the Collateral (as defined in the
Mortgage);
(vii) the
misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of either Borrower or any of
its
Affiliates of (A) any Insurance Proceeds, (B) any Condemnation Proceeds, (C)
any
Rents and/or Vacant Space Rent following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents
and/or Vacant Space Rent paid more than one (1) month in advance; provided
such
amounts are not applied to the payment of the Loan or the Operating Expenses
of
either Property;
(viii) failure
to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens
on
any portion of the Properties that are superior to the Lien of the Mortgage,
unless such charges are being contested in accordance herewith;
(ix) any
security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected by either
Borrower or any Affiliate thereof with respect to either Property or any part
thereof which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Properties
or any part thereof or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such
security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions
of
any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave
rise
to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(x) if
either
Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Properties or any part
thereof, fails to provide financial information specifically required by this
Agreement or fails to appoint a new Manager upon the request of Lender, each
as
required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement
or the Mortgage;
103
(xi) (A)
if
the Operating Partnership shall default under either of the Master Leases beyond
any applicable notice and/or cure period contained therein, or (B) if either
Master Lease shall have been amended or modified (except as specified in
Section
3.1.21
hereof)
without Lender’s prior written consent, or (C) if either Master Lease shall have
been terminated, cancelled or surrendered without Lender’s prior written consent
in violation of Section
5.2.13
hereof
(except as specified in Section
3.1.21
hereof),
or (D) if the Operating Partnership is the subject of a Bankruptcy Action,
other
than an involuntary Bankruptcy Action which is dismissed within ninety (90)
days; or
(xii) (A)
if
there shall exist an event of default by Tower Borrower under the Parking
Easement beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period contained therein,
or
(B) if the Parking Easement shall have been amended or modified in violation
of
Section
5.2.11
hereof)
without Lender’s prior written consent, or (C) if the Parking Easement shall
have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered (other than by the terms of
the
Parking Easement) without Lender’s prior written consent in violation of
Section
5.2.11
hereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender
may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by
the
Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of
the
Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Borrowers shall
be
jointly and severally personally liable for the payment of the Debt (1) in
the
event of: (a) either Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy
Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing
of an involuntary petition against either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code
or
any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law by any other Person
in
which either Borrower colludes with or otherwise assists such Person, or
solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary
petition against either Borrower from any Person; (c) either Borrower filing
an
answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary

to
maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity as required by and in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement and there is a substantive consolidation of
either Borrower with any other Person; (4) if either Borrower fails to obtain
Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the
Properties or any part thereof as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage;
or
(5) if either Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as

Concerning Manager.
If (i)
at any time, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding
twelve (12) month period is less than 1.0 to 1.0, (ii) an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing, (iii) at Maturity the Debt is not repaid in full,
104
(iv)
any
Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent or (v) a material default occurs
under any Management

market rates.
Section

At the
option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the
“Servicer”)
selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its
responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the

Agreement”)
between Lender and Servicer. Borrowers shall not be responsible for any set-up

Section
9.7 Restructuring
of Loan.
9.7.1 Mezzanine
Loan.
(a) Lender
and Borrowers have contemporaneously with the negotiation of the Loan Documents
also negotiated a complete set of all of the material mezzanine loan documents,
true, correct and complete copies of which are attached as Exhibits
1-12
hereto
(the “Proposed
Mezzanine Loan Documents”).
The
Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents have been negotiated in anticipation of
Lender, subsequent to the Closing Date, splitting off a portion of the Loan
to
create, and enter into, a mezzanine loan (the “Anticipated
Mezzanine Loan”),
which
Anticipated Mezzanine Loan: (i) shall be on substantially the same terms as
the
Loan (to the extent applicable to a mezzanine loan) as embodied in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (to the extent applicable to a mezzanine
loan), except that, without limitation, the non-default interest rate applicable
to such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan may be greater than the Interest Rate, so
long as the weighted non-default interest rate of the Loan and such Anticipated
Mezzanine Loan shall, at the time of the creation of such Anticipated Mezzanine
Loan, equal the Interest Rate; (ii) shall have a maturity date of not earlier
than the Maturity Date for the Loan; and (iii) shall be made utilizing the
Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents, together with such other ancillary documents
and deliveries as are customary or necessary in Lender's reasonable judgment
and, to the extent applicable, are either in substantially the same form as
were
executed and delivered in connection with the Loan or are otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Mezzanine Borrowers. From and after the consummation, if ever,
of
the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall thereafter
be referred to herein and in the other Loan Documents as the “Mezzanine
Loan”.
(b) In
connection with the negotiation and consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine
Loan, Borrowers and Operating Partnership shall, and Operating Partnership
shall
cause Mezzanine Borrowers to, cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender
in order to create the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, including (i) negotiating,
executing and delivering loan documents in form and substance identical to
the
Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents, and to the extent additional documentation
is
required, in a form substantially similar to the parallel
105
Loan
Document, containing representations, warranties and covenants substantially
identical to those set forth in the Loan Documents or otherwise reasonably
acceptable to Mezzanine Borrowers, and (ii) causing Mezzanine Borrowers’ counsel
to deliver such legal opinions as Lender shall reasonably request, all in form
and substance substantially identical to those provided in connection with
the
Loan or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Borrowers.
(c) Borrowers
and Operating Partnership shall expeditiously and in good faith negotiate,
execute and/or deliver, or Operating Partnership shall cause Mezzanine Borrowers
to negotiate, execute and/or deliver, any material agreement, document, title
insurance coverage, opinion letter or other item contemplated by this
Section
9.7.1
or
otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation
of
the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan.
(d) Until
such time, if ever, as the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall be consummated,
(i)
all references in this Agreement (other than the references made in this
Section
9.7.1)
and the
other Loan Documents to the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Borrowers, the
Mezzanine Lender, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement
or
any other terms related to any thereof, including the Mezzanine Cash Management
Account, Mezzanine Debt, a Mezzanine Default, a Mezzanine Event of Default,
the
Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan
Outstanding Principal Balance, the Mezzanine Principal, and/or the Mezzanine
Reserve Funds shall be deemed removed herefrom and therefrom and this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted as though such references
do
not exist herein or therein, (ii) Article
11
of this
Agreement shall be deemed omitted herefrom, (iii) any distributions or payments
that are payable to Borrowers upon the condition that the Mezzanine Loan has
been repaid in full, shall be paid to Borrowers, (iv) the calculations of the
Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Underwritten Garage Debt Service Coverage
Ratio, and the Underwritten Tower Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall assume
no
debt service is payable on account of the Mezzanine Loan, and (v) the
application of payments of principal under Section
2.4.5
shall be
made in the same fashion as if the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Debt had
been paid in full, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers,
however, that at all times from and after the Closing Date, whether or not
an
Anticipated Mezzanine Loan has been consummated, the provisions of Section
5.2.10(d)(C)
hereof
and Sections
5.2.10(h)(i)
and
(ii)
hereof
with respect to Mezzanine Borrowers shall continue to apply.
(e) Upon
the
consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, this Agreement shall be amended
to eliminate this Section
9.7.1
and the
definitions set forth herein and, where appropriate, to (i) insert the
appropriate amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) insert appropriate
dates for the Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iii) insert appropriate numeric values
for the calculations of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Underwritten Garage
Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and the Underwritten Tower Debt Service Coverage
Ratio, (iv) insert revised definitions of the Mezzanine Loan and the
Intercreditor Agreement, making reference to the actual date of execution,
and
(v) make such other changes as are appropriate and consistent with the
consummated Mezzanine Loan.
106
(f) Borrowers
acknowledge that, upon consummation, Lender intends to sell the Mezzanine Loan,
which sale may occur coincident with the closing of the Mezzanine Loan or at
some time thereafter. In connection with any such sale of the Mezzanine Loan,
Borrowers and Operating Partnership agree that they shall, and Operating
Partnership shall cause Mezzanine Borrowers to, cooperate with all reasonable
requests of the purchaser, including agreeing to such amendments to the
Mezzanine Loan Documents as such purchaser shall request, so long as such
amendments do not increase in more than a de
minimis
amount
the obligations of Mezzanine Borrowers under the Mezzanine Loan Documents or
reduce in more than a de
minimis
amount
the rights of Mezzanine Borrowers under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Borrowers nor Mezzanine Borrowers shall
have any obligation to agree to any amendment to the Mezzanine Loan Documents
that materially changes the economic obligations of the Mezzanine Borrowers
under the Mezzanine Loan Documents from those existing before any such
amendment.
(g) Borrowers’
and Operating Partnership’s failure, within ten (10) Business Days after
Lender’s written request, to execute and/or deliver, or Operating Partnership’s
failure to cause Mezzanine Borrowers to execute and/or deliver, the Proposed
Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any other agreement, document, opinion, letter
or other item contemplated by this Section
9.7.1
or
otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation
of
an Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder.
9.7.2 Future
Restructuring.
Without
limiting the generality of Section
9.7.1 hereof
and in addition thereto, at any time prior to the Securitization of the entire
Loan, Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in
its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require
Borrowers to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include
component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or to create participation
interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal
amounts of the Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to any
Mezzanine Loan or one or more additional mezzanine loans (each, a “New
Mezzanine Loan”)
to the
owners of the direct and/or indirect equity interests in Borrowers, secured
by a
pledge of such interests, and/or the reallocation of a portion of the Mezzanine
Loan to the Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan or the establishment of different
interest rates, floor interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan,
the
Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan, the
Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may
be
designated by Lender; provided
that (i)
the total amounts of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans
shall equal the amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan immediately prior
to
the restructuring and the economic terms of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and
all
New Mezzanine Loans shall be substantially the same as the economic terms of
the
Loan and the Mezzanine Loan prior to such Restructuring, (ii) except in the
case
of an Event of Default under, or prepayment of, the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan
and/or any New Mezzanine Loan, the weighted interest rate of the Loan, the
Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans, if any, shall, at the time of the
restructuring, equal the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the
Mezzanine Loan, and (iii) except in the case of an Event of Default under,
or a
prepayment of, the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan,
the
debt service payments on the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine
Loans shall equal the debt service payments which
107
would
have been payable under the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan had the restructuring
not occurred. Borrowers shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender
in order to restructure the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and create any New
Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall, upon ten (10) Business Days written
notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which
Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such
documents or cause each Mezzanine Borrower to execute such documents, including
in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan
agreement, a pledge and security agreement, and a mezzanine deposit account
agreement, (B) cause Borrowers’ counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (C)
create such bankruptcy remote borrower under each New Mezzanine Loan as, in
each
of the case of clauses
(A),
(B)
and
(C)
above,
shall be reasonably required by Lender or required by any Rating Agency in
connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender, including the severance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and other Loan
Documents if requested. Borrowers’ failure to comply with its obligation under
this Section
9.7
within
ten (10) Business Days after Borrowers’ receipt of notice of such failure shall
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.7.3 Multiple
Notes.
(a) Pursuant
to Section
9.1(a)
hereof,
Lender and Borrowers anticipate that subsequent to the Closing Date Lender
may
restructure the Loan into Multiple Notes by obtaining Borrowers’ execution of
such Multiple Notes and the execution of an amendment to this Loan Agreement
(the “Loan
Agreement Amendment”).
Such
Multiple Notes: (i) shall be on substantially the same terms as the Notes
executed on the Closing Date, as governed by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, except that, without limitation, pursuant to such Loan Agreement
Amendment, the non-default interest rate applicable to one or more of the
Multiple Notes may be greater than the Interest Rate, so long as the weighted
non-default interest rate of all the Multiple Notes shall, at the time of the
creation of such Multiple Notes, equal the Interest Rate; (ii) shall have a
maturity date of not earlier than the Maturity Date for the Loan; (iii) shall
be
made utilizing a form of Note identical, except as to amount, to the Notes,
together with such other ancillary documents and deliveries as are customary
or
necessary in Lender's reasonable judgment (including an enforceability opinion
from Borrowers’ counsel with respect to the Loan Agreement Amendment) and, to
the extent applicable, are any in substantially the same form as were executed
and delivered in connection with the Loan or are otherwise reasonably acceptable
to Borrowers, and (iv) the Loan Agreement Amendment and the transactions
contemplated thereby shall not, in any material respect, increase the economic
obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents. From and after the execution,
if ever, of the Multiple Notes, Lender shall cancel the original Notes and
promptly return it to Borrowers.
(b) Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section
9.1(a)
hereof
to the contrary, and without limiting the provisions of this Section
9.7.3,
Borrowers covenant and agree that after the Closing Date and prior to a
Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest
rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances of each of
the
Multiple Notes and to require the payment of the Multiple Notes in such order
of
priority as may be designated by Lender; provided,
however,
that
the weighted average interest rate of the Multiple Notes following any such
reallocation or modification shall not be changed from the weighted average
interest rate in effect immediately preceding such reallocation or modification.
108
Borrowers
further agree and acknowledge that Lender has expressly reserved the right
to
repay the principal amount of the Multiple Notes in a disproportionate manner
reflecting the relative priority, if any, of such Multiple Notes on account
of
prepayments of principal (i) occurring upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) made from Net Proceeds, or (iii)
upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, made
from
Rents and/or Vacant Space Rent, all as contemplated under Section
2.4.3
hereof;
and as a result thereof the weighted average interest rate of the Loan may
be
changed.
(c) Borrowers
shall expeditiously and in good faith negotiate, execute and/or deliver, any
material agreement, document, title insurance coverage, opinion letter or other
item contemplated by this Section
9.7.3,
or
otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation
of
the Multiple Notes.
(d) Borrowers
acknowledge that, upon execution, Lender intends to sell one or more of the
Multiple Notes, which sale may occur coincident with the execution of the
Multiple Notes or at some time thereafter. In connection with any such sale
of
one or more of the Multiple Notes, each Borrower agrees that it shall cooperate
with all reasonable requests of the purchaser, including agreeing to such
amendments to the Loan Documents as such purchaser shall request, so long as
such amendments do not increase in more than a de
minimis amount
the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents or reduce in more than
a
de
minimis amount
the rights of Borrowers under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrowers shall not have any obligation to agree to any amendment to the
Multiple Notes that changes the overall economic terms of the Loan from those
existing before any such amendment.
(e) Borrowers’
failure, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request, to execute and/or
deliver the Multiple Notes and/or any other agreement, document, opinion, letter
or other item contemplated by this Section
9.7.3
or
otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation
of
the Multiple Notes, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
9.7.4 Costs
and Expenses.
Except
as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section
9.1
hereof,
Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred by Lender
in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section
9.7,
but
Borrowers shall be responsible for their own legal fees and other associated
expenses.

ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO
A
TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. ANY PARTY HERETO IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED
TO
FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS
WAIVER BY THE OTHER PARTY.

The
Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement
are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute
a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section
10.9 Severability.
Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in
such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of this Agreement.
Section
10.10 Preferences.
Lender
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply
any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Debt. To the extent

any
part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or
any
other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or
equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received,
the
Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived
and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not
been received by Lender.
113
Section

of Notice.
Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and shall not be entitled to any notices
of
any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which

for
which Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted
to
waive the giving of notice.

of Borrowers.

event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted
unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrowers agree that
neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and
Borrowers’ sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any
action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall
be
determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section
10.13 Expenses;
Indemnity.
(a) Borrowers
jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay,
to
reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable costs
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred
by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation
of
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing
all opinions by counsel for Borrowers (including any opinions reasonably
requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or
the
other Loan Documents with respect to either Property); (ii) except as expressly
provided under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
Borrowers’ ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrowers’ respective
agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on their part to be performed or complied with after the Closing
Date,
including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements;
(iii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all
agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date;
(iv) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement and/or
the
other Loan Documents, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and
administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications
to
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters
requested by Lender; (v) securing the compliance with any requests made pursuant
to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each
Borrower; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance
and
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required
legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting
the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, any in response to third
party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other
litigation, in each case against, under or affecting either or both Borrowers,
this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, either Property, or any other security
given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any
payments due from Borrowers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
114
or
with
respect to any Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring
of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a
“work-out”
or
of
any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided,
however,
that
Borrowers shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses
to
the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud
or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts
that first occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to either
Property. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from
any
amounts in the Lockbox Account.
(b) Borrowers
jointly and severally covenant and agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not
Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of
(i)
any breach by either Borrower of its obligations under, or any material
misrepresentation by either Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan
(collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”);
provided,
however,
that
Borrowers shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that
such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts,
fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason
of
acts that first occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to either
Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it
violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion
that
they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrowers
jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay for or, if Borrowers fail to
pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating
Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan
Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval,
waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall
be
entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent
to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or
confirmation.

The
Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part
of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body
hereof.
Section
10.15 Offsets,
Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any
assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Notes and the other
Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims
or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which either Borrower may
otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by either Borrower
in
any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and
any such right to
115
interpose
or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.
Section
10.16 No
Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrowers
and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein
is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint
tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any
interest in any Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or
lender.
(b) This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender
and
Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers any right
to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations
of
Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require
satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled
to
assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or any disbursement of Reserve
Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other
Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such
conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Lender if Lender determines it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section
10.17 Publicity.
All
news releases, publicity or advertising by either Borrower or its Affiliates
through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the
Loan
Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or to
any
of its Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender. Nothing
in
this Section
10.17
shall
prevent either Borrower or Lender from disclosing any information otherwise
deemed confidential under this Section
10.17
in
connection any Legal Requirements or any statutory reporting requirement
applicable to either Borrower or Lender.
Section
10.18 Waiver
of Marshalling of Assets.
To the
fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors
and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower,
such Borrower’s partners or members and others with interests in such Borrower,
and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event
of foreclosure of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any
laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of
alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents,
or
any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender
under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of
the
Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of
Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties
in
preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section
10.19 Waiver
of Counterclaims.
Each
Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a

Lender or its agents.
116
Section
10.20 Conflict;
Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The
parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel
in
connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents
and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrowers acknowledge that,
with respect to the Loan, Borrowers shall rely solely on their own judgment
and
advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent,
subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under
any
of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the
Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate
of
Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrowers, and
Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to raise any defense or take any
action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any
such rights or remedies. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender engages in the
business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and
investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the businesses
of Borrowers or their Affiliates.
Section
10.21 Brokers
and Financial Advisors.
Borrowers hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors,
brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrowers hereby agree to
indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees
and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person
that
such Person acted on behalf of Borrowers or Lender in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall
survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the
Debt.
Section
10.22 Prior
Agreements.
This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether
oral or written, including the “Loan
Application and Conditional Commitment Agreement”
dated
July 29, 2005, between Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P. and Lender, are superseded
by
the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section
10.23 Certain
Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender
shall have:
(a) the
right
to routinely consult with and advise Borrowers’ management regarding the
significant business activities and business and financial developments of
Borrowers; provided,
however,
that
such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance
programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should
occur
on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the
right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable
advance notice (which may be given verbally);
117
(b) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books
and
records of each Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice (which

hereof,
to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance
sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management
report and schedules of outstanding Indebtedness; and
(d) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by either Borrower
of
any other significant property (other than personal property required for the
day-to-day operation of the Properties or any part thereof).
The
rights described above in this Section
10.23
may be
exercised by any entity which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly,
substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section
10.24 Duplicate
Originals, Counterparts.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each
duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together
shall constitute a single agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute
this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other
signatories from their obligations hereunder.

representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrowers
hereunder are joint and several.

(including electronically transmitted items) received from Mezzanine Lender
by
Mezzanine Borrower or any guarantor under the Mezzanine Loan
Documents.

otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section
5.1.11
hereof,
Borrowers will deliver (or cause Mezzanine Borrower to deliver) to Lender all
of
the financial statements, reports, certificates and related items delivered
or
required to be delivered by Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender under the
Mezzanine Loan Documents as and when due under the Mezzanine Loan
Documents.
(c) Borrowers
acknowledge and agree that the right of Mezzanine Lender to amend or modify
the
Mezzanine Loan Documents shall be limited as provided in the Intercreditor
Agreement. Borrowers shall provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or
118
modification
to the Mezzanine Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days after the
execution thereof.
Section
11.2 Mezzanine
Loan Estoppels.
After
written request by Lender, Borrowers shall (or shall cause Mezzanine Borrower
to) from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mezzanine Lender
such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mezzanine Loan
and
compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents
as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that
Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates
and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such
estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrowers shall not
be
in breach of this provision so long as Borrowers furnish to Lender estoppels
executed by Borrowers and Mezzanine Borrowers expressly representing to Lender
the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine Loan
and the compliance by Mezzanine Borrowers with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan
Documents. Borrowers hereby jointly and severally indemnify Lender from and
against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments,
actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not
suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind
or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted
against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or
circumstances relating to the Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any
material respect by Borrowers in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted
from such estoppel executed by Borrowers and Mezzanine Borrowers.
Section
11.3 Reserve
Funds.
Borrowers and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, if (a) all of the Obligations have been
satisfied, (b) there is any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds, and (c)
the
Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not
pay
any such remaining amount in the Reserve Funds to Borrowers, but rather shall
deliver such amount to Mezzanine Lender to be held in accordance with the terms
of the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
Section
11.4 Intercreditor
Agreement.
Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Intercreditor Agreement entered
into between Lender and Mezzanine Lender, as of the date hereof solely for
the
benefit of Lender and Mezzanine Lender, and that none of the Borrowers or
Mezzanine Borrowers are intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the
provisions therein, have no rights thereunder and are not entitled to rely
on
any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mezzanine Lender shall
have
no obligation to disclose to Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers the contents
of
the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrowers’ obligations hereunder are and will be
independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by
the
terms and provisions thereof.
