31
(4) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Lead Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.

(b) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, the Payor and Borrower shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment pursuant to whichever of the rates specified in Section 2.3 is applicable to the Type of such Loan, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.
(6) Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.25) of any right of set off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(b) Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.25) all rights of set off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
40
(c) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 2.6(6) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.6(6) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
Section 2.7Yield Protection; Etc.

(a) Increased Costs Generally with Respect to Making or Maintaining LIBOR-based Loans. If any Change in Law shall:
(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted Libor Rate);
(B) subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any LIBOR-based Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.7(6) and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
(C) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender.
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining any LIBOR-based Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then Borrower will promptly upon demand pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will promptly upon demand pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered; provided that such Lender would cause similarly situated Borrowers to compensate them for such an event.
41
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.7(1) shall be delivered to Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof by Lead Borrower.
(d) Delays in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
(2) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the Libor Rate for any Interest Period:
(a) Administrative Agent reasonably determines that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Libor Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR-based Loans; or
(b) the Majority Lenders reasonably determine, and notify Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of Libor Rate are not likely adequate to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Lead Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
(3) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Lead Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR-based Loans.
42
(4) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.7(1)or Section 2.7(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.7(3), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Lead Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR-based Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Lead Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(3) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.7(4) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR-based Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(5) LIBOR Breakage Costs. Borrower shall upon request pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of each Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender determines is attributable to:
(a) any payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in any Request for Loan Advance.
43
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Page 3750 of the Telerate Service or other publicly available source as described in the definition of Libor Rate. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this section shall be delivered to Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(6) Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), Administrative Agent or Lender (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph (a) above, Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes but not Excluded Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Lead Borrower by a Lender, or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
44
(e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the applicable Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), prior to the Initial Advance, Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI of the Internal Revenue Service, or such other properly completed and executed forms, certifications, statements or documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any payments hereunder to Lenders in respect of the Loan until such Lenders shall have furnished to Administrative Agent the requested form, certification, statement or documentation.
(f) Refunds. If Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrower or with respect to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7(6), it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section 2.7(6) with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This section shall not be construed to require Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person..
(7) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.7(1) or Section 2.7(6), or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.7(2) or Section 2.7(3) (any such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Lead Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Lead Borrower that is satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such purchase and pay all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any amounts that would be payable under Section 2.7(1), Section 2.7(5) or Section 2.7(6). Subject to the provisions of Section 12.23(1), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in Section 2.7(1) and Section 2.7(6) (without duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.7(7) with respect to the time prior to such replacement.
45
Section 2.8Agency Fee. Until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee in accordance with the Fee Letter.
Section 2.9Exit Fee. With respect to any repayment or prepayment of principal under the Loans for any reason whatsoever (whether such repayment or prepayment of the Loans is made voluntarily or involuntarily or as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to which the Administrative Agent has accelerated the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, in addition to all other amounts that may be due hereunder, an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount so repaid or prepaid under the Loans (the “Exit Fee”). The Exit Fee will be automatically waived in the event that (1) the Loans are prepaid in connection with a bona-fide arms length sale of the Project to a third party which is not an Affiliate of Borrower, or (2) the Loans are paid in full pursuant to a refinancing arrangement with Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE 3
INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS
Section 3.1Insurance.
(1) Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, Policies providing at least the following coverages for Borrower and the Project (at all times through the repayment of the Loans in full):
(a) comprehensive all-risk insurance on the Improvements and the personal property, in each case (i) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, (ii) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the improvements and personal property waiving all co insurance provisions; (iii) providing for no deductible in excess of $50,000; (iv) providing for repairs and alteration coverage; and (v) providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Project shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The Full Replacement Cost shall be redetermined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24) calendar months) at the request of Administrative Agent by an appraiser or contractor designated by Borrower and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. The cost of such appraisal shall be paid by Administrative Agent unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in which case such cost shall be paid by Borrower. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Administrative Agent to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Section 3.1(1)(a);
46
(b) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage (including liabilities as a result of repairs and alterations) occurring upon, in or about the Project, such insurance (i) to be on the so called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate; (ii) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (iii) to cover at least the following hazards: (A) premises and operations; (B) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis and for a period of not less than five (5) years after the completion of construction of the applicable Improvements; (C) independent contractors; (D) blanket contractual liability for all “insured contracts” as defined in the standard general liability policy; and (E) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Sections 5.4, 11.3 and 14.5 hereof, to the extent the same is available and falls within the definition of “insured contracts”;
(c) business income/loss of rents insurance (i) with loss payable to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders); (ii) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof; (iii) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Project (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period continuing until the Restoration of the Project is completed; the amount of such business income/loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on the greater of (x) Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Project, and (y) the highest gross income received during the term of the Notes for any full calendar year prior to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined (or such lesser period as may have expired from the date of substantial completion of the applicable Improvements to the date the amount of such insurance is being determined), in each case for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the improvements and the personal property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the date that the Project, is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. All insurance proceeds payable to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.1(1)(c) shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Notes and this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Notes and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income/loss of rents insurance;
(d) when required by Administrative Agent or at the discretion of Borrower, at all times prior to the completion of construction of the Improvements, the insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) shall be written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form (i) on a non reporting basis, (ii) against all risks insured against pursuant to Section 3.1(1)(a), (iii) shall include permission to occupy the Project, and (4) shall contain an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions, and shall also include coverage for:
47
(A) loss suffered with respect to materials, equipment, machinery, and supplies whether on-site, in transit, or stored off-site and with respect to temporary structures, hoists, sidewalks, retaining walls, and underground property;
(B) Soft Costs, plans, specifications, blueprints and models in connection with any restoration following a casualty;
(C) demolition and increased cost of construction, including, without limitation, increased costs arising out of changes in Applicable Law and codes;
(D) operation of building laws;
(E) collapse, transit and testing; and
(F) delayed opening coverage on an actual loss sustained basis with extended period of indemnity endorsement consistent with Section 3.1(1)(c).
(e) workers’ compensation insurance, as required by any Governmental Authority or legal requirement, subject to the statutory limits of the state of New York;
(f) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Administrative Agent on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under Section 3.1(1)(a);
(g) if any portion of the Improvements is at any time located in an area identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard insurance in an amount not less than the greater of (A) the maximum limit of coverage available with respect to the Project, under Policies issued pursuant to the Flood Insurance Acts, subject only to customary deductibles under such Policies, and (B) the maximum limit of coverage available with respect to the Project, under Policies issued by private insurance carriers;
(h) earthquake insurance (based on probable maximum loss) in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Section 3.1(1)(h) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof;
(i) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than $100,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under Section 3.1(1)(b) hereof;
48
(j) insurance with respect to the Construction Manager, the Major Contractors, Borrower’s Architect and other Design Professionals as specified in Schedule 3.1(1)(j) attached hereto;
(k) secured creditor’s environmental insurance, insuring against unknown environmental hazards and conditions in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, which shall name the Administrative Agent as a loss payee or additional insured, as applicable; and
(l) such other insurance and in such amounts as Administrative Agent from time to time may request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are available on commercially reasonably terms for properties located in or around the region where the Project is located and are customarily required by institutional lenders with respect to projects similar to the Project.
(2) All insurance provided in compliance with Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies permitted to do business in the state of New York and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent. The insurance companies must have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of “AX” (or its equivalent) or better by A.M. Best. No Policy shall contain an exclusion from coverage under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage, provided that Borrower may obtain separate Terrorism Insurance coverage subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(2). Borrower will be required to maintain insurance against terrorism, terrorist acts or similar acts of sabotage (“Terrorism Insurance”) with coverage amounts of not less than an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the improvements and the personal property (the “Terrorism Insurance Required Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Borrower shall not be obligated to expend in any fiscal year on Insurance Premiums for Terrorism Insurance more than two (2.0) times the then-current annual premium paid by Borrower for the comprehensive all-risk insurance required under subsection 3.1(1)(a) hereof (the “Terrorism Insurance Cap”) and if the cost of the Terrorism Insurance Required Amount exceeds the Terrorism Insurance Cap, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of Terrorism Insurance available with funds equal to the Terrorism Insurance Cap; provided, however, the Terrorism Insurance Cap shall not apply or restrict the amount of terrorism coverage required to be obtained and maintained by this subsection (x) with respect to the Project if (a) owners and/or operators of mixed-use retail/office buildings in the same class as the Project in Bronx, New York are generally obtaining terrorism insurance, (b) lenders financing such mixed-use retail/office properties in the same class as the Project in Bronx, New York are generally requiring terrorism insurance as a condition of financing, or (c) Borrower or Sponsor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Sponsor, is obtaining terrorism insurance on any other properties in Bronx, New York of which any of the foregoing Persons own or operate. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Section 3.1(1) hereof, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent insurance certificates showing payment of all premiums (the “Insurance Premiums”) for such Policies, which certificates shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. Within sixty (60) days following the expiration dates of the Policies, Lead Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent certified copies of such Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of payment of the Insurance Premiums.
49
(3) Borrower shall not obtain (a) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Administrative Agent and Lenders’ interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement, or (b) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 3.1(1) to be furnished by, or which may be required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, Lead Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 3.1(1).
(4) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 3.1(1) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 3.1(1)(e), shall name Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) as additional insured under liability policies and as mortgagee/loss payee under property policies, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a so called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(5) All Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(a) no willful act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, 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 Administrative Agent is concerned;
(b) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice (or ten (10) days’ written notice, in the case of non payment of premium) to Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an insured;
(c) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(d) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(6) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, on five (5) Business Days’ notice to Lead Borrower to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Project, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
50
(7) In the event of a foreclosure of the Mortgages, or other transfer of title to Project in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(8) Lead Borrower shall give immediate written notice of any loss in excess of $100,000 to the insurance carrier and to Administrative Agent. In connection with losses in excess of $100,000, but less than or equal to $2,000,000, Borrower and Administrative Agent shall cooperate in all matters related to the loss including, without limitation, making proof of loss, adjusting and compromising any claim under the insurance policies, appearing in and prosecuting any action arising from such insurance policies, and collecting and receiving insurance proceeds. In connection with losses in excess of $2,000,000, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, as attorney in fact for Borrower coupled with an interest, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Administrative Agent’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(8), however, shall require Administrative Agent or any Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder.
Section 3.2Condemnation Awards. Lead Borrower shall immediately notify Administrative Agent of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking of the Project or any portion thereof. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceeding and Lead Borrower will deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments necessary or required by Administrative Agent to permit such participation. Without Administrative Agent’s prior consent (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders), Borrower (1) shall not agree to any compensation or award, and (2) shall not take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to be determined. All awards and compensation for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of the Project or any part thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Administrative Agent. Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (which Administrative Agent shall exercise at the direction of the Majority Lenders) to apply the same toward the payment of the Loans, notwithstanding that the Loans may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Project; provided, however, if the award is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount and Borrower requests that such proceeds be used for non structural site improvements (such as landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) required to be made as a result of such condemnation, Administrative Agent will apply the award to such restoration in accordance with the terms applicable to insurance proceeds set forth in Section 3.3. Borrower, upon request by Administrative Agent, shall execute all instruments requested to confirm the assignment of the awards and compensation to Administrative Agent, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances.
51
Section 3.3Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds. Administrative Agent shall apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring the Project or the Loans as follows:
(1) if the loss is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, Administrative Agent shall promptly apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided (a) no Event of Default exists, and (b) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Project;
(2) if the loss exceeds the Threshold Amount but is not more than ten percent (10%) of the replacement value of the Improvements (for projects containing multiple phases or stand alone structures, such calculation to be based on the damaged phase or structure, not the project as a whole), Administrative Agent shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration provided that at all times during such restoration (a) no Event of Default exists; (b) Administrative Agent determines that there are sufficient funds including Borrower’s equity available to restore and repair the Project to a condition reasonably approved by Administrative Agent; (c) Administrative Agent reasonably determines that any operating deficits, including all debt service, which will be incurred with respect to the Project following any such loss and until the restoration has been completed, will be covered out of (A) the insurance proceeds, (B) the proceeds of business interruption insurance, if applicable, (C) Net Operating Income of the Project or (D) by other funds of Borrower; (d) Administrative Agent reasonably determines that all Major Leases will remain in effect after restoration is complete; (e) Administrative Agent determines that restoration and repair of the Project to a condition reasonably approved by Administrative Agent will be completed prior to the Completion Date; (f) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Project; and (g) if still applicable, Administrative Agent shall have unilaterally determined that the Guaranty of Completion shall remain in full force and effect during the period of restoration, or Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Administrative Agent a guaranty of completion with respect to all restoration in substantially the same form as the Guaranty of Completion and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
(3) if the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or the loss exceeds the maximum amount specified in Section 3.3(2) above, Administrative Agent may in its sole discretion (subject to the approval of the Majority Lenders) apply any insurance proceeds it may receive to the payment of the Loans or allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Project.
Section 3.4Disbursement of Proceeds.
(1) The insurance proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent in a Controlled Account and shall constitute additional security for the Loans. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all the conditions precedent, including those set forth in Section 3.3(2) above, have been satisfied, the insurance proceeds shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Lead Borrower from time to time during the course of the restoration in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article 4 and Schedule 4 of this Agreement and (to the extent such disbursements are related to construction costs) the Building Loan Agreement.
52
(2) All plans and specifications required in connection with the restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “Restoration Consultant”); provided, however, that if the plans and specifications are consistent with those attached to the Building Loan Agreement, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have approved such plans and specifications. Administrative Agent shall have the non-exclusive use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the restoration, as well as all Major Contracts, shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval by Administrative Agent and the Restoration Consultant. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the insurance proceeds available for the restoration including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Restoration Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower shall also obtain, at its sole cost and expense, all necessary government approvals as and when required in connection with such restoration and provide copies thereof to Administrative Agent and Restoration Consultant.
(3) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the insurance 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 Restoration Consultant, minus the Retainage. Administrative Agent shall establish, maintain and release any Retainage in accordance with the terms of the Building Loan Agreement.
(4) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the insurance proceeds more frequently than once per month.
(5) If at any time the insurance proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Restoration Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Restoration Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Insurance Proceeds Deficiency”) with, or deliver a Collateral Letter of Credit in the amount of such deficiency to, Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days of Administrative Agent’s request and before any further disbursement of the insurance proceeds shall be made. The Insurance Proceeds Deficiency shall be held in a Controlled Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the insurance proceeds, and, until so disbursed, shall constitute additional security for the Loans.
(6) After the Restoration Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that a restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.4, and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the restoration have been paid in full, the excess, if any, of the insurance proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Insurance Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent shall, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred, be paid to Lead Borrower. If a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred, the remaining balance of the Insurance Proceeds Deficiency shall be applied to repayment of the Loans.
53
(7) All insurance proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the restoration or (ii) to be returned to Lead Borrower as excess insurance proceeds pursuant to subsection (6) above may (A) be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Loans, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, (B) at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Lead Borrower for such purposes and upon such conditions as Administrative Agent shall designate.
(8) Notwithstanding any casualty, Borrower shall continue to make payments with respect to the outstanding principal amount in the manner provided in the Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the outstanding principal amount shall not be reduced unless and until (i) any insurance proceeds or condemnation award shall have been actually received by Administrative Agent, (ii) Administrative Agent shall have deducted its reasonable expenses of collecting such proceeds and (iii) Administrative Agent shall have applied any portion of the balance thereof to the repayment of the outstanding principal amount in accordance with Section 4.3. The Lenders shall not be limited to the interest paid on any condemnation award but shall continue to be entitled to receive interest as provided in Article 2.
ARTICLE 4
DISBURSEMENTS OF THE LOANS
Section 4.1General Conditions.
(1) Subject to (a) Borrower’s satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Schedule 4 and (b) Borrower’s compliance with the applicable provisions of this Article 4, the Lenders shall disburse the proceeds of the Acquisition Loan on the Closing Date and the proceeds of each other Loan within ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s receipt of all of the documents and items to be delivered or received pursuant to Schedule 4 and this Article 4; provided, however, that at no time shall the Lenders be obligated to:
(i) advance to Lead Borrower more than the amount that Borrower has funded from its own monies or an existing loan or is then required to fund to the party seeking payment or, in the case of reimbursement, to the party seeking reimbursement (subject to Retainage, if applicable),
(ii) make an advance if the Loans are not In Balance in accordance with Section 4.3,
(iii) subject to possible reallocation in accordance with Section 4.5, advance proceeds of a Loan in an amount in excess of the Budget Line Items set forth in the Budget, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or
(iv) make any Loans to the extent any Operating Revenues have not been applied in accordance with Section 4.6(1).
54
(2) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Lenders shall have no obligation to advance any Loan unless Administrative Agent is, at all times, satisfied that the Improvements can be constructed Lien free, substantially in accordance with the Plans and Specifications (or the Tenant Improvement Plans in the case of Tenant Improvement Work) for the sums set forth in the Budget (or, if more, Borrower has furnished the difference in cash or cash equivalents, subject to the provisions of Section 4.3, Section 4.4 and Section 4.5), by the Completion Date or, with respect to Tenant Improvement Work, such date as shall be required for the completion of the applicable Tenant Improvement Work under an Approved Lease. Administrative Agent will endeavor to give notice to Lead Borrower of its intention not to authorize disbursement of any Loan proceeds based on the foregoing, but neither the Lenders nor Administrative Agent shall have any liability hereunder should Administrative Agent fail to do so, and no failure by Administrative Agent to give such notice shall affect Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights under this subsection (2). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if such applicable conditions precedent are not satisfied for the full required disbursement, then, to the extent that the amounts in any Request for Loan Advance are broken down such that Administrative Agent is satisfied that all of the above conditions are met with respect to a portion of any Loan advance, the Lenders shall advance such portion of the requested Loan advance.
Section 4.2Procedure for Making Disbursements of Loan Proceeds.
(1) After the Closing Date, disbursements shall be made from time to time as construction progresses pursuant to a request for advance in the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit F (each, a “Request for Loan Advance”), but no more frequently than once in each calendar month.
(2) Each Request for Loan Advance with respect to Loans shall (a) be duly executed by an Authorized Officer on behalf of Lead Borrower, (b) be submitted to Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed disbursement date for such Loans, (c) specify the items to be paid or reimbursed with the proceeds of the requested Loans, (d) include the documentation required to be included therewith under Schedule 4 and (e) be in the minimum amounts required under Section 2.6(3).
(3) All advances of the Loans shall be made for the payment of Project Costs in accordance with the Budget upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in this Article 4 and Schedule 4 – Parts A and B, as applicable.
(4) In the event Lead Borrower does not request a disbursement within thirty (30) days after the previous disbursement of a Loan, Borrower shall nonetheless within such thirty (30) day period and during each subsequent thirty (30) day period in which Lead Borrower does not request a disbursement of the Loan, satisfy the conditions precedent to disbursements set forth in this Agreement.
Section 4.3Loan Balancing.
(1) Borrower represents that the Budget sets forth all anticipated costs to be incurred by Borrower in connection with the ownership, development, construction, financing, marketing, maintenance and leasing of the Improvements, from time to time through the Maturity Date as extended pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof. Borrower further agrees as follows:
55
(a) Subject to reallocations pursuant to Section 4.4 and Section 4.5, if at any time, the projected costs anticipated to be incurred for any item of Construction Work or for the ownership, development, financing, marketing, maintenance or leasing of the Improvements through the Maturity Date exceed the amount set forth in the Budget for such item (as the same may be adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), as determined by Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion (including any such determination that the undisbursed Loan proceeds allocated for the payment of future interest (the “Interest Reserve”) is insufficient) based on factors, including, but not limited to, (1) Administrative Agent’s projections of interest rates for period(s) up to and including the full remaining term of the Loan (and permitted extensions); (2) the effect of any Hedge Agreement; (3) cost overruns or Change Orders; or (4) failure of the Improvements to lease at the rate of absorption or otherwise at rates and terms projected by Borrower, then the Loans shall be deemed not “In Balance.”
(b) If the Loans are deemed not “In Balance,” then Borrower shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, within ten (10) Business Days after written notice from Administrative Agent either (a) deposit with Administrative Agent an amount sufficient to cover such deficiency (a “Deficiency Deposit”), which Deficiency Deposit shall be deposited with Administrative Agent in the Controlled Account (the “Deficiency Deposit Account”), (b) make one or more equity contributions to be used by Borrower to pay costs that will bring the Loans In Balance (an “Equity Balancing Contribution”), or (c) deliver a Collateral Letter of Credit in an amount such that the available proceeds thereunder would be sufficient to bring the Loans In Balance and upon which Administrative Agent shall be entitled to draw in compliance with the provisions set forth below in this Section 4.3. Administrative Agent shall not be required to authorize any disbursement of any Loans before receiving (i) payment of any such Deficiency Deposit into the Deficiency Deposit Account and the prior application of such Deficiency Deposit to the payment of Project Costs so as to bring the Loans In Balance, (ii) verification that an Equity Balancing Contribution has been made and the proceeds thereof used for the payment of Project Costs on account of the Improvements, so as to bring the Loans In Balance or (iii) a Collateral Letter of Credit as set forth above. Failure of Borrower to provide satisfactory verification of an Equity Balancing Contribution or deliver a Deficiency Letter of Credit as required above shall be deemed Borrower’s election to make a Deficiency Deposit. The Deficiency Deposit shall be allocated to the Project Loan Budget and the Budget, as applicable, and shall be applied to the payment of Project Costs on account of the Improvements prior to any further disbursement of the Loans.
(c) The balances of the applicable Contingency Fund from time to time shall not be considered for purposes of determining whether the Loans are In Balance.
(2) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 14.3) may, at its option, in addition to exercising any other rights or remedies available under the Loan Documents, (A) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to (or draw on any Collateral Letter of Credit to pay) the costs of completion of the Improvements and/or (B) apply any unexpended Deficiency Deposit to (or draw on any Collateral Letter of Credit for application of the sums drawn thereunder to) the immediate reduction of any amounts due under the Notes and the other Loan Documents. With respect to any Collateral Letter of Credit that Borrower may furnish or cause to be furnished to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.3:
56
(a) Administrative Agent will be entitled, among other things, to make one or more draws pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement or the Building Loan Agreement, as applicable, by presentment thereof to the issuing bank accompanied only by Administrative Agent’s clean sight-draft, it being intended that the issuing bank shall have no right to inquire as to Administrative Agent’s right to draw upon such Collateral Letter of Credit;
(b) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, among other things, to draw upon each Collateral Letter of Credit pursuant to this Agreement or the Building Loan Agreement, as applicable, in whole, or in part from time to time, to the extent (without taking into account the Collateral Letter of Credit) the Loan is not In Balance, (i) in order to pay any costs not covered by Loan proceeds, Equity Balancing Contributions or Deficiency Deposits or (ii) upon any Event of Default; and
(c) Administrative Agent shall have the right to draw upon any Collateral Letter of Credit within ten (10) Business Days prior to the expiration date of such Collateral Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof unless, prior to such expiration date of such Collateral Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof, Borrower shall have furnished a replacement, extension or renewal Collateral Letter of Credit, acceptable to Administrative Agent, it being the intent hereof that at no time shall the unexpired term of any Collateral Letter of Credit be less than ten (10) Business Days. If Administrative Agent draws upon a Collateral Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms hereof, then Administrative Agent shall hold the proceeds thereof in a Controlled Account as a Deficiency Deposit. Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to draw upon a Collateral Letter of Credit if the credit rating of the issuing bank no longer meets the standard required of a Collateral Letter of Credit and Borrower does not deliver to Administrative Agent a replacement letter of credit that otherwise conforms to the requirements for Deficiency Letters of Credit within ten (10) days following notice of the same from Administrative Agent, or if Administrative Agent reasonably believes that its rights to draw on such Collateral Letter of Credit are in imminent jeopardy of not being honored.
Section 4.4Budget Contingencies. The Budget contains line items designated for contingency for Hard Costs and Soft Costs (collectively, the “Contingency Fund”) which represent amounts necessary to provide reasonable assurances to Administrative Agent and the Lenders that funds are available within the Budget if additional costs, expenses and/or delays are incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loans, or other unanticipated events or problems occur. Upon request of Lead Borrower, Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, re-allocate a portion of the Contingency Fund to cover cost overruns, cost of change orders, additional interests and other anticipated costs based upon the percentage of completion of the Construction Work (e.g. (and as an example only) fifty percent (50%) of the Contingency Fund may be allocated when the project is fifty percent (50%) complete). Any such re-allocation shall reduce, by the amount of such re-allocation, the amount of the Contingency Fund available to be allocated thereafter. Subject to the foregoing, Borrower agrees that the decisions with respect to utilizing any portion of the Contingency Fund shall be made by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion and that the Loans may not be In Balance, and Borrower may be required to make a Deficiency Deposit or Equity Balancing Contribution, even if funds remain in the Contingency Fund.
57
Section 4.5Budget Line Items. The Budget includes as line items (collectively, “Budget Line Items”) the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and furnishings needed for the completion of all Construction Work, and all other costs, fees and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction Work and the operation of the Project. Borrower agrees that all Loans shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such Loans are made (as re-allocated from time to time in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Borrower agrees that, while an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time without prior written notice to Lead Borrower or Borrower, authorize the disbursement of the Budget Line Items for the purposes for which they have been set aside, or for any other purposes related to the Construction Work or otherwise provided for in the Budget as Administrative Agent may determine, either by payment of such items or by reimbursement to Borrower for payments actually made by Borrower for such items. Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to authorize the disbursement of any amount for any category of costs set forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such category in the applicable Budget Line Item; provided, however, that subject to Administrative Agent’s prior reasonable consent, Borrower may apply savings from one Budget Line Item to cost overruns in another Budget Line Item or to the Contingency Fund, or to any other unbudgeted Project Cost provided (a) there are no Potential Defaults or Events of Defaults existing, (b) all costs to be paid out of the Budget Line Item from which funds are being re-allocated have been paid or sufficient sums remain in said line item to pay such costs when the same become due, (c) said savings are actual savings and are documented or otherwise established to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant in their reasonable discretion, (d) such reallocation will not violate the provisions of the Lien Law or affect the priority of the Mortgages on the Project and (e) Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, obtains endorsements to the Title Policies insuring against “any statutory lien for services, labor or materials furnished or contracted for prior to the date hereof i.e., the date of such endorsement (or any statutory lien for services, labor or materials furnished after the date hereof, the priority of which lien relates back to services, labor or materials furnished or contracted for prior to the date hereof), and which has now gained or which may hereafter gain priority over the estate or interest of the insured as shown in Schedule A of this policy,” as a result of the reallocation of such Budget Line Item; provided, however, the Borrower shall not reallocate any portion of the Soft Costs Budget Line Items which have been allocated to the payment of real estate taxes and the interest reserve.
Section 4.6Interest; Fees; and Expenses.
(1) Included in the Budget are projected amounts for (a) interest on the Loans, (b) the Agency Fee, (c) the fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, Administrative Agent’s counsel and the Title Company and (d) the fees and expenses related to the recording of the Mortgages. Subject to Borrower’s compliance with all of the conditions set forth in Schedule 4 and this Article 4, Lead Borrower may in any Request for Loan Advance request advances for the purpose of paying the aforesaid items due at such time, in which event Administrative Agent shall be authorized and is hereby directed to disburse the amount thereof to the Persons entitled to such payments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lead Borrower shall not have the right to request the advance of any Loans for any items covered by clauses (a) through (d) above to the extent Operating Revenues are available to pay such items.
58
(2) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan to pay (a) interest accrued on the Notes, (b) the Agency Fees, (c) the fees and expenses of the Construction Consultant, Administrative Agent’s counsel and the Title Company, (d) any expenses payable in accordance with Section 9.28, and (e) any Date Down Endorsements, notwithstanding that Lead Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amounts.
(3) Subject to the provisions of Section 14.3, Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion may (but shall not be obligated to do so) direct the Lenders to make such Loans for disbursements authorized under this Section 4.6 notwithstanding that the Loans are not In Balance or that a Potential Default or Event of Default exists under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursements shall constitute a Loan and be added to the principal balance of the Notes, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no further direction, authorization or Request for Loan Advance from Lead Borrower is necessary for the Lenders to make such disbursements. Nothing contained in this Section 4.6 shall require Administrative Agent to direct the Lenders to make Loans for payment of any of the items set forth in subsection (2) above if the other conditions set forth in this Agreement for Loans are not satisfied.
Section 4.7Reserved.
Section 4.8 Tenant Improvement Allowances.
(1) Loans shall be made to Borrower in connection with Tenant Improvement Allowances as the same shall be payable pursuant to Approved Leases.
(2) The first request for disbursement for any Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be accompanied by the following, all of which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of the Administrative Agent to the extent Borrower has any outstanding (i.e. unexpired) approval rights with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of the applicable Approved Lease (any such approval or disapproval to be made by the Administrative Agent within a reasonably sufficient time for Borrower to comply with any time limits set forth in the applicable Approved Lease for Borrower’s response):
(a) documentation required to be delivered by the applicable tenant pursuant to its respective Approved Lease;
(b) if not already delivered to the Administrative Agent, a fully executed lease (already approved by the Administrative Agent) covering such leased space; and
(c) all matters set forth in subsection (3) below.
59
(3) The Administrative Agent’s obligation to make disbursements of any Loans for Tenant Improvement Allowances shall be subject to the further condition precedent that all of the following requirements shall have been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent to the extent Borrower has any outstanding (i.e. unexpired) approval rights with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of the applicable Approved Lease (any such approval or disapproval to be made by the Administrative Agent within a reasonably sufficient time for Borrower to comply with any time limits set forth in the applicable Approved Lease for Borrower’s response):
(a) Borrower shall have promptly furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant all documents and other information relating to such Tenant Improvement Allowance which Borrower is entitled to receive pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable Approved Lease;
(b) Loans shall be made for Tenant Improvement Allowances only to the extent the applicable tenant is then entitled to receive payments related to such Tenant Improvement Allowance pursuant to the terms of its applicable Approved Lease;
(c) no mechanic’s liens shall have been filed against the Project in connection with the work being performed under the applicable Approved Lease; and
(d) Borrower shall have complied with all the other applicable conditions precedent to a disbursement of a Loan contained in Section 2.1.
(4) The obligation of the Lenders to make the final Loan to Borrower for a Tenant Improvement Allowance for any Approved Lease is subject to the further condition precedent that all of the following requirements shall have been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent (in the case of clause (b) below, to the extent Borrower has any approval rights with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of the applicable Approved Lease, any such approval or disapproval to be made by the Administrative Agent within a reasonably sufficient time (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days) to enable Borrower to comply with applicable time limits set forth in the applicable Approved Lease for Borrower’s response):
(a) The applicable work covered by a Tenant Improvement Allowance has been substantially completed, subject to Punch List Items, free of mechanics’ liens unless such liens shall be bonded or otherwise removed of record or the Title Company shall have provided affirmative coverage in accordance with Schedule 4 – Part A, paragraph 10;
(b) Borrower shall have promptly furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Construction Consultant all documents and other information relating to the final advance of the applicable Tenant Improvement Allowance which Borrower is entitled to receive in accordance with the applicable Lease; and
(c) All of the applicable conditions precedent to any Loan contained in Section 2.1 shall have been satisfied.
60
Section 4.9Direct Loan Advances by Administrative Agent. The Lenders shall, at the option of Administrative Agent, advance all or any part of any particular Loan either (1) to Lead Borrower for disbursement in accordance with a Request for Loan Advance, (2) while any Event of Default exists, directly to the Construction Manager, a Major Contractor, other contractor, subcontractor, material supplier or other party any costs payable to such party, (3) after an Event of Default, at Borrower’s expense, to the Title Company which shall pay said monies to the parties as so instructed by Administrative Agent or (4) as contemplated by Section 1.01(d) of the Completion Guaranty (whether the applicable work is being performed by Guarantor or Administrative Agent). The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall, and hereby does, constitute an irrevocable authorization to the Lenders to make such direct advances provided for in clauses (2), (3) and (4) above and no further authorization from Borrower shall be necessary to warrant such direct advances, and all such direct advances shall be secured by the Security Documents as fully as if made directly to Borrower, regardless of the disposition thereof by any party so paid. After an Event of Default, at Administrative Agent’s request, any advance of Loan proceeds made by and through the Title Company may be made pursuant to a construction escrow agreement reasonably approved by Administrative Agent. Borrower agrees to join as a party to such escrow agreement and to comply with the requirements set forth therein (which shall be in addition to and not in substitution for the requirements contained in this Agreement) and to pay the fees and expenses of the Title Company charged in connection with the performance of its duties under such construction escrow agreement.
Section 4.10No Waiver or Approval by Reason of Loan Advances. The making of any Loans by the Lenders shall not be deemed an acceptance or approval by Administrative Agent or the Lenders (for the benefit of Borrower or any third party) of the Construction Work or other work theretofore done or constructed or to the Lenders’ obligations to make further Loans, nor, in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy any condition, shall any such failure to insist upon strict compliance have the effect of precluding Administrative Agent or the Lenders from thereafter declaring such inability to be an Event of Default as herein provided. Administrative Agent’s and/or the Lenders’ waiver of, or failure to enforce, any conditions to or requirements associated with any Loans in any one or more circumstances shall not constitute or imply a waiver of such conditions or requirements in any other circumstances.
Section 4.11Authorization to Make Loan Advances to Cure Borrower’s Defaults. If an Event of Default shall occur, Administrative Agent (subject to the provisions of Section 14.3) may (but shall not be required to) perform any of such covenants and agreements with respect to which Borrower is in Event of Default. Any amounts expended by Administrative Agent in so doing and any amounts expended by Administrative Agent in connection therewith shall constitute a Loan and be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable, and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
Section 4.12Designation of Lead Borrower as Agent for Borrower.
(1) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s agent to obtain loans and advances under the Loan, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower as set forth herein. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to the Agent and the Lenders on account of loans and advances so made under the Loan as if made directly by the Lenders to that Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such loans and advances are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and/or of any Borrower (including, without limitation, on account of any such treatment of said loan or advance as an equity investment in a Borrower by Lead Borrower).
61
(2) Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it under the Loan is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby assumes and agrees fully, faithfully, and punctually to discharge all obligations of all of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents.
(3) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a loan or other advance under the Loan.
(4) The proceeds of each loan and advance provided under the Loan which is requested by the Lead Borrower shall be deposited into an account in the name of the Lead Borrower or as otherwise indicated by the Lead Borrower. The Lead Borrower shall cause the transfer of the proceeds thereof to the Borrower(s) on whose behalf such loan and advance was obtained. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.
(5) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as that Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to act in the Borrower’s name and stead and to do and perform all matters, to grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders a security interest in the Collateral, transact all business, and make, execute and acknowledge all Loan Documents and other instruments relating to this Agreement including but not limited to, this Agreement, the Note, and the Security Documents. The Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the power of attorney created hereby is coupled with an interest.
Section 4.13Administrative Agent’s Right to Make Loan Advances in Compliance with the Guaranty of Completion. Any Loan proceeds disbursed by Administrative Agent as contemplated by Section 1.01(b) of the Guaranty of Completion (whether the applicable work is being performed by Guarantor or Administrative Agent) shall constitute a Loan and be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, and the Lenders shall make the applicable Loans to fund any such disbursements. The authorization hereby granted is irrevocable and no prior notice to or further direction or authorization from Borrower is necessary for Administrative Agent to make such disbursements.
Section 4.14No Third-Party Benefit. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Lenders, Administrative Agent, Lead Borrower and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of the Lenders to make advances hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Lenders and may be freely waived or modified in whole or in part by the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it advisable to do so, and no Person other than Lead Borrower or Borrower (provided, however, that all conditions have been satisfied) shall have standing to require the Lenders to make any Loan advances or shall be a beneficiary of this Agreement or any advances to be made hereunder.

(2) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, among other things, to draw upon each Collateral Letter of Credit, in whole, or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or under the other circumstances under which a draw shall be permitted under the Loan Documents or the Collateral Letter of Credit;
84
(3) Administrative Agent shall have the right to draw upon any Collateral Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such Collateral Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof unless, prior to such expiration date of such Collateral Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof, the Borrower shall have furnished a replacement, extension or renewal Collateral Letter of Credit, acceptable to Administrative Agent, it being the intent hereof that at no time shall the unexpired term of any Collateral Letter of Credit be less than thirty (30) days. If Administrative Agent draws upon a Collateral Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this subsection (3), then Administrative Agent shall hold the proceeds thereof in a Controlled Account as additional collateral for the Obligations, to be applied in accordance with subsection (5) below;
(4) Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to draw upon a Collateral Letter of Credit if Administrative Agent believes that its rights to draw on such Collateral Letter of Credit could be in jeopardy.

Proceeds of any draw upon a Collateral Letter of Credit (after reimbursement of any costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and reimbursements, incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such draw), other than a draw made in accordance with Section 9.14(4), may be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the Obligations in such manner as Administrative Agent may determine. No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right to draw on a Collateral Letter of Credit shall impair any such right, or shall be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any Event of Default; and
(6) Administrative Agent shall, upon request, release its rights in any Collateral Letters of Credit and surrender such Collateral Letters of Credit to the issuing bank upon the payment in full of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

(4) Borrower shall cause all payments payable by a Third-Party Counterparty under the Hedge Agreement to be deposited into an account designated by Administrative Agent. On the due date for interest on the Loans each month, the amounts so deposited in such account shall be debited, and applied to pay the accrued but unpaid interest on the Loans due on such date, before applying any portion of the Loan proceeds which is allocated to the Interest Reserve for such purpose, and before applying any Operating Revenues for such purpose.
(5) Any payment due from the counterparty under any Hedge Agreement upon a termination thereof, shall be delivered to Administrative Agent and applied by Administrative Agent to any amounts due under the Loan Documents.
(6) In connection with a Third-Party Hedge Agreement, Lead Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Third-Party Counterparty) for the Third-Party Counterparty (in form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent and upon which Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(a) the Third-Party Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Third-Party Hedge Agreement;
86
(b) the execution and delivery of the Third-Party Hedge Agreement by the Third-Party Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Third-Party Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(c) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Third-Party Counterparty of the Third-Party Hedge Agreement, and any other agreement which the Third-Party Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(d) the Third-Party Hedge Agreement, and any other agreement which the Third-Party Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Third-Party Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Third-Party Counterparty, enforceable against the Third-Party Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights 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).
(7) For so long as a Hedge Agreement is in effect, Administrative Agent may elect to cause advances of the Loan proceeds available for interest payments to be used to make “regular” payments due under the Hedge Agreement (i.e., other than those payments which are due upon the termination of such Hedge Agreement), in addition to interest payments on the Loans.
Section 9.16Reserves. Administrative Agent may at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, at its option (or at the direction of the Majority Lenders), to be exercised by written notice to Lead Borrower, require the deposit by Borrower, on each Payment Date, of additional amounts sufficient to discharge when due the obligations of Borrower under Section 9.3 and Section 3.1 (if applicable, and excluding all income, franchise, single business or other taxes imposed on Borrower unless the same is in lieu of real estate taxes) when they become due. Simultaneously with the initial deposit under this Section 9.16, Borrower shall deposit with Administrative Agent an amount determined by Administrative Agent to be necessary to ensure that there will be on deposit with Administrative Agent an amount which, when added to the monthly payments subsequently required to be deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder on account of Real Estate Taxes, insurance premiums, will result in there being on deposit with Administrative Agent an amount sufficient to pay the next due periodic installment of Real Estate Taxes, insurance premiums one (1) month prior to the delinquency date thereof and the next periodic payments of insurance premiums one (1) month prior to the due date thereof. Commencing on the first Business Day of the first calendar month after the occurrence of an Event of Default and continuing thereafter on the first Business Day of each month thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent deposits in an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the yearly amount of Real Estate Taxes, insurance premiums that will next become due and payable on the Project. The determination of the amount to be deposited with Administrative Agent with each installment shall be made by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion. Such amounts shall be held by Administrative Agent in an account under the sole dominion and control of Administrative Agent and applied (together with any interest earned thereon) to the payment of the obligations in respect to which such amounts were deposited or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to the payment of said obligations in such order of priority as Administrative Agent shall determine, on or before the respective dates on which the same or any of them would become delinquent. If one (1) month prior to the due date of any of the aforementioned obligations the amounts then on deposit therefor shall be insufficient for the payment of such obligations in full, Borrower, within five (5) days after demand, shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Administrative Agent. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders under the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loans Documents or of any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid together with interest at the Default Rate to the indebtedness secured by the Mortgages. Borrower hereby pledges to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and grants to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) a security interest in any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in such reserves and the account established by Administrative Agent as additional security for the payment of the Loans and agrees to enter into an agreement with Administrative Agent and the bank where such account is established in order to perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest therein. In making any payment from such reserves, Administrative Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate or procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Real Estate Taxes), 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 such charge.

Administrative Agent shall have the right to reasonably approve such Annual Budget (such approval to be in the Administration Agent’s sole discretion during an Event of Default and any period where Administrative Agent is taking action to remove the Property Manager).

(2) Lead Borrower may at any time propose an amendment to an Approved Annual Budget for the remainder of the then current calendar year, and, when approved as provided below, such amended Approved Annual Budget shall be deemed to be and shall be effective as the Approved Annual Budget for such calendar year.

If the Loans would be usurious under Applicable Law (including the laws of the State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by Applicable Law, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by Applicable Law. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under Applicable Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. Except as otherwise expressly provided therein, the Loan Documents are contracts made under and shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York, except that if at any time the laws of the United States of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of the State of New York (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any state), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.
Section 12.4Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable; the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.

Section 12.5Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised by Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lead Borrower and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Lead Borrower and Borrower.

Section 12.6Lenders and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the powers of Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents. The relationship between Borrower and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Administrative Agent, the Lenders, Lead Borrower and Borrower. Administrative Agent and the Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other person with respect to the Loans, the Project or the other collateral for the Loans, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (1) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is, nor shall be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or any Borrower Party or any of their respective stockholders, members, or partners, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (2) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable for any Debts, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower or any Borrower Party; and (3) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or any Borrower Party or any of their respective stockholders, members, or partners. Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower, or to create an equity in the Project or any other collateral for the Loan in Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.

No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender, their officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.
Section 12.11Cumulative Rights. Rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.

All of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower hereunder (including environmental matters under Article 5, the obligations under Sections 2.7(1), 2.7(5) 2.7(6)), and under the indemnification provisions of the other Loan Documents shall survive (a) the repayment in full of the Loans and the release of the Liens evidencing or securing the Loans, (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Project to any party, whether or not an Affiliate of Borrower and (c) in the case of any Lender that may assign any interest in its Commitment or Loans hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that such assigning Lender may cease to be a “Lender” hereunder.

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, or their agents, acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by Applicable Law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, or otherwise violated this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower agrees that none of Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their agents shall be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or speculative damages or losses resulting from such failure to act reasonably or promptly in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.21Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between such parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Accordingly, the Loan Documents may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between any term sheet, application or commitment letter and this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
Section 12.22Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
Section 12.23Assignments and Participations.
(1) Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only with the consent of Administrative Agent); provided that:
(a) no such consent by Administrative Agent shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender(provided that in the case of an assignment to any such Affiliate, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal only with such assigning Lender);
(b) except to the extent Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
(c) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;
104
(d) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, no consent by Borrower shall be required and Administrative Agent’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned if such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee, and the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied; and
(e) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Assumption pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith.
(2) Approval by Borrower. In the event Borrower’s consent to an assignment is required under Section 12.23(1), such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be granted or denied in writing delivered to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days from the date of Administrative Agent’s or a Lender’s request therefor. If Administrative Agent does not receive such consent or a denial of such consent in writing within said five (5) Business Days following delivery of a request for such consent, Borrower’s consent shall be deemed to have been granted. In the event Borrower withholds its consent, Lead Borrower shall, concurrently with Borrower’s written disapproval, provide written notice to Administrative Agent and such Lender of the reasons for Borrower’s disapproval.
(3) Participations.
(a) A Lender may sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee or (v) consent to any modification, amendment or waiver hereof or of any of the other Loan Documents to the extent that the same, under Section 12.2, requires the consent of each Lender. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7(1), Section 2.7(5), and Section 2.7(6) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.23; provided, however, that a Participant that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.7(6) unless Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.7(6) as though it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.23 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.23 as though it were a Lender.
105
(4) Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.23 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(5) Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party or any of their respective Affiliates or the Project in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that such assignee and participant agree to be bound by the terms of Section 12.29.
(6) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 12.23 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.
Section 12.24Brokers. Borrower hereby represents to Administrative Agent and each Lender that Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
Section 12.25Right of Set-off.
(1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this Section 12.25, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in New York or any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.
106
(2) Each Lender shall promptly notify Lead Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 12.25 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
(3) Each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion (in accordance with this agreement and any separate agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders) of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
Section 12.26Limitation on Liability of Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ Officers, Employees, etc. Any obligation or liability whatsoever of Administrative Agent or any Lender which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s respective assets only. No such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
Section 12.27Cooperation with Syndication. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower shall take all actions as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to assist Administrative Agent in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request of Administrative Agent (i) facilitate the review of the Loans, the Project and the other collateral for the Loans by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist Administrative Agent and otherwise cooperate with Administrative Agent in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) deliver updated information on Borrower Parties, the Project and the other collateral for the Loans; (iv) make representatives of Borrower available to meet with prospective Lenders at tours of the Project and bank meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective Lender; and (vi) provide Administrative Agent with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.28, Borrower agrees to take such further reasonable action, in connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to effect such Syndication; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 12.27 or Section 12.28 to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents and amendments which would alter any of the material economic terms of the Loan Documents or which would create new or greater obligations or liabilities on Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents.
107
Section 12.28Severance of Loan.
(1) Loan Components. The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time, with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to (a) cause the Notes, the Mortgages and the other Security Documents to be severed and/or split into two or more separate notes, mortgages and other security agreements, so as to evidence and secure one or more senior and subordinate mortgage loans, (b) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) secured by the Mortgages and the other Security Documents, (c) create multiple components of the Notes (and allocate or re-allocate the outstanding principal amount of the Loan among such components) or (d) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by the Mortgages and the other Security Documents (each of clauses (a) through (d), together with the Mezzanine Option described below, a “Bifurcation”); in each such case, in whatever proportions and priorities as Administrative Agent may so direct in its discretion to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that in each such instance (i) the outstanding principal amount of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately following such Bifurcation shall be equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan immediately prior to such Bifurcation, and (ii) the weighted average Applicable Margin and/or Base Rate, as applicable, with respect to the new notes immediately after such Bifurcation and at all times prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not exceed the weighted average Applicable Margin and/or Base Rate, as applicable, with respect to the initial Notes delivered hereunder (as such interest rates are subject to being adjusted from time to time in accordance herewith, including as a result of the accrual of interest at the Default Rate). If requested by Administrative Agent in writing, Borrower shall execute within ten (10) days after such request, a severance agreement, amendments to or amendments and restatements of any one or more Loan Documents, and such documentation as Administrative Agent may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such Bifurcation, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(2) Mezzanine Financing. Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time, to divide the Loan into two or more parts (the “Mezzanine Option”): a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and one or more Approved Mezzanine Loans. The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, the Approved Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to a borrower (the “Mezzanine Borrower(s)”); Mezzanine Borrower(s) will contribute the amount of the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) to Borrower (in its capacity as Borrower under the Mortgage Loan, “Mortgage Borrower”) and Mortgage Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Loan to its Mortgage Loan amount (without prepayment premium). The Mortgage Loan and the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents except as follows:
108
(a) The Administrative Agent shall have the right, at any time, to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan(s) and the Approved Mezzanine Loan and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Administrative Agent; provided that (i) the total of the loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately following the creation of such Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s), (ii) the weighted average Applicable Margin and/or Base Rate, as applicable, with respect to the Mortgage Loans and the Approved Mezzanine Loan immediately after such Bifurcation and at all times prior to the occurrence of any Event of Default shall not exceed the weighted average prior to such bifurcation, and (iii) there shall be no acceleration of amortization and the initial debt service payments on the Mortgage Loan note and the Approved Mezzanine Loan note(s) shall initially on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to such bifurcation. The Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be subordinate to the Mortgage Loan and shall be governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement between the holders of the Mortgage Loan and the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s).
(b) Mezzanine Borrower(s) shall be a newly-formed special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity satisfactory to Administrative Agent, and shall own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Mortgage Borrower. The security for the Approved Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Mortgage Borrower.
(c) Mezzanine Borrower and Mortgage Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Administrative Agent in order to convert the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and one or more Approved Mezzanine Loan(s) and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Administrative Agent in connection therewith, including, without limitation, (i) the modification of organizational documents and loan documents, (ii) documents authorizing Administrative Agent to file any UCC 1 Financing Statements reasonably required by Administrative Agent to perfect the security interest in the collateral for the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s), (iii) execution of such other documents reasonably required by Administrative Agent in connection with the creation of the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s), including, without limitation, an environmental indemnity substantially similar in form and substance to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan, (iv) delivery of appropriate authorization and enforceability opinions with respect to the Approved Mezzanine Loan(s), and (v) delivery of an “Eagle 9” or equivalent UCC title insurance policy, satisfactory to Administrative Agent, insuring the perfection and priority of the lien on the Approved Mezzanine Loan collateral; provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of Section 12.27 or this Section 12.28(2) to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents and amendments which would alter any of the material economic terms of the Loan Documents or which would create new or greater obligations or liabilities Borrower or Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents

Section 12.29Confidentiality. Each of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Borrower Parties and Sponsor agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, except that Confidential Information may be disclosed (a) to it and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made shall be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) to any assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee or pledgee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Borrower or Administrative Agent, as applicable, or (h) to the extent such Confidential Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.29 or of arrangements entered into pursuant hereto or (ii) becomes available to such party from a source other than Borrower or its Affiliates or the Administrative Agent or the Lender or their Affiliates, as applicable; provided, however, the obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information provided hereunder shall expire twelve (12) months after the date upon which the Loans hereunder are indefeasibly paid in full. Administrative Agent and each Lender, to the extent required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 12.29, shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as a commercial banker exercising reasonable and customary business practices would accord to its own confidential information. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the information subject to this Section 12.29 shall not include, and Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011 4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Administrative Agent or such Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of this Section 12.29, the information that shall be treated as Confidential Information shall mean, in the case of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, written non-public information concerning the Project and, in the case of Borrower, information concerning the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Documents.

RECOURSE LIABILITY
Section 13.1Recourse Liability. No past, present or future member, or any past, present or future shareholder, partner, member, officer, employee, servant, executive, director, agent, authorized representative or Affiliate of Borrower or any member of Borrower, (each such Person, an “Exculpated Party”) shall be personally liable for payments due hereunder or under any other Loan Document or for the performance of any obligation, or breach of any representation or warranty made by Borrower hereunder or thereunder. The sole recourse of the Lenders and Administrative Agent for satisfaction of the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under any other Loan Document shall be against Borrower and its assets and not against any assets or property of any such Exculpated Party other than the direct or indirect ownership interest of such Exculpated Party in Borrower. In the event that a Potential Default or Event of Default occurs in connection with such obligations, no action shall be brought against any such Exculpated Party by virtue of its direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower. In the event of foreclosure or other sale or disposition of the Project, no judgment for any deficiency upon the obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be obtainable by the Lenders or Administrative Agent against any such Exculpated Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 13.1 shall affect or diminish the obligations of Borrower or Guarantors under or in respect of each Loan Document to which it is a party, including Guarantor Documents (including the right to name any Guarantor in any foreclosure action in connection with its obligations under the Guarantor Documents) and the Co-Borrower Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 13.1, each Exculpated Party shall be personally (and on a full recourse basis) liable for and shall indemnify and defend Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against, and shall hold Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless of, from and against any deficiency, liability, loss, damage, costs, and expenses (including legal fees and disbursements) suffered by Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders and caused by, or arising out of or as a result of any of the following: (i) such Person’s commission of a criminal act, (ii) such Person’s failure to comply with the provisions of the Loan Documents prohibiting a transfer or Change of Control; (iii) such Person’s misappropriation of any cash flow or other revenue derived from or in respect of the Project, including security deposits, insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or any rental, sales or other income derived directly or indirectly from the Project, or the misapplication of any of the foregoing sums, in either event, in contravention of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iv) such Person’s fraud or misrepresentation or inaccurate certification made at any time in connection with the Loan Documents or the Loans; (v) such Person’s intentional interference with Administrative Agent’s (or the Lenders’) exercise of its rights under any of the Loan Documents; (vi) such Person’s intentional destruction or removal of fixtures or personal property securing the Loans unless replaced by items of equal value and utility; (vii) such Person’s misapplication or misappropriation of funds disbursed from the Security Accounts or the Controlled Accounts; (viii) such Person’s commissions of intentional waste to or of the Project or any portion thereof or failure to maintain the Project in the manner required by the Loan Documents; (ix) failure to maintain the insurance coverage required by the Loan Documents; (x) failure to pay taxes, assessments and any other charges, including, without limitation, charges for labor or materials, which could result in prior liens against any portion of the Project; (xi) willful misconduct; (xii) Borrower files a voluntary petition under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (xiii) such Person files or joins in the filing of, or solicits or acts in concert with, or colludes or conspires with petitioning creditors with respect to, an involuntary petition against Borrower under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (xiv) Borrower files an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (xv) such Person consents to or acquiesces in or joins in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Project; (xvi) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as the become due; or (xvii) Borrower violates any of provisions set forth in the definition of Single Purpose Entity and such violation results in a substantive consolidation of the Borrower or its assets in the bankruptcy of an Affiliate.
111
Section 13.2No Waiver of Certain Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (A) neither of Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any right which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as such sections may be amended, to file a claim for the full amount due to Administrative Agent or such Lender under the Loan Documents or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure the amounts due under the Loan Documents and (B) Administrative Agent may pursue any power of sale, bring any foreclosure action, any action for specific performance, or any other appropriate action or proceedings against Borrower or any other Person for the purpose of enabling the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to realize upon the collateral for the Loans (including, without limitation, any Net Operating Income to the extent provided for in the Loan Documents) or to obtain the appointment of a receiver.
ARTICLE 14
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 14.1Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 14.5 and the first sentence of Section 14.6 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender;
(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations thereunder; and
112
(c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under any Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for therein or in connection therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 14.5.
(d) shall not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(e) shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.
The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only, and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys in fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 12.23. Except to the extent expressly provided in Section 14.8, the provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Lenders may modify or waive such provisions of this Article 14 in their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 14.2Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
113
Section 14.3Defaults.
(1) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Lead Borrower specifying such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default.” In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Potential Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such notice of Potential Default or Event of Default from Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 14.7) take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions (1) to make protective advances that Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Project and (2) to foreclose on any of the Project or exercise any other remedy, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Applicable Law. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which Administrative Agent takes in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 14.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other than money subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Project, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Sections 14.3(2), (3) and (4) and 14.5 and to the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.3(2), (3) and (4) and 14.5; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); and fourth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares (and, if applicable, to Eurohypo Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement for its Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
(2) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans. All losses incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Agent their respective proportionate shares of (i) any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and protect the Project, whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgages, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgages or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
114
(3) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1), any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such action and the settlement of such action shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.
(4) If, at the direction of the Majority Lenders or otherwise as provided in Section 14.3(1), any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgages, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgages and collect on the Notes. Counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver, the conduct of such foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the bid on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the foreclosure sale of the Project, the manner of taking and holding title to the Project (other than as set forth in subsection (5) below), the sale of the Project after foreclosure, and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of foreclosure will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares.
(5) If title is acquired to the Project after a foreclosure sale or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, or a subsidiary wholly owned by the Lenders and managed by the Administrative Agent.
115
(6) If Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Project or is entitled to possession of the Project during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Project shall be made by Administrative Agent. All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Project with respect to the Project, including income from the operation and management of the Project and the proceeds of a sale of the Project, shall be applied (subject to the terms of any separate agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders), first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment of operating expenses with respect to the Project; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Project; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); fifth, to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Proportionate Shares (and, if applicable, to Eurohypo Counterparty under any Hedge Agreement for its Additional Interest in accordance with Section 9.15), unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
Section 14.4Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section 14.5Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with real estate loans that it syndicates and administers, but Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by Administrative Agent to comply with any of Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise. Subject to the terms of any separate agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 9.28, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 9.28) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 9.28, but excluding, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.
116
Section 14.6Non Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 14.5, Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect the Project or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent hereunder or as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Section 14.7Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 14.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 14.8Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Lead Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 14.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this Article 14 and Section 9.28 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
117
Section 14.9Consents under Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may (without any Lender’s consent) give or withhold its agreement to any amendments of the Loan Documents or any waivers or consents in respect thereof or exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies which Administrative Agent may have under the Loan Documents or otherwise provided that such actions do not, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect the value of any collateral, taken as a whole, or represent a departure from Administrative Agent’s standard of care described in Section 14.5, except that, except as otherwise provided in any separate agreement entered into among Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent shall not agree to the following (provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents):
(a) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the consent of such Lender;
(b) reduce the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(c) extend any stated payment date for principal of or interest on the Loans payable to any Lender without the consent of each Lender affected thereby;
(d) release Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to Section 12.23 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.8) without the consent of each Lender (except that no such consent shall be required, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release Borrower and Guarantors (A) as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and (B) upon payment of the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);
(e) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as security for the Loans without the consent of each Lender (except that no such consent shall be required, and Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering the collateral under the Security Documents (A) as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and (B) upon payment of the Obligations in full in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents);
(f) modify any of the provisions of this Section 14.9, the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder without the consent of each Lender;
118
(g) modify the terms of any Event of Default without the consent of each Lender; or
(h) consent to (i) the sale, transfer or encumbrance of any portion of the Project (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect ownership interest therein and (ii) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional indebtedness secured by the Project, in each case to the extent such consent is required under the Loan Documents (and subject to any standard of reasonability set forth therein) without the consent of each Lender.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (a) any modification or supplement of Article 14, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent and (b) in the case of Change Orders, the Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) to modify the Loan Documents to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with the requirements of the Lien Law in connection therewith and (y) Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter into modifications or amendments to the Loan Documents which are ministerial in nature, including the preparation and execution of Uniform Commercial Code forms, Assignments and Assumptions and subordination and non-disturbance agreements with tenants at the Project. If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Agent’s solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.
Section 14.10Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
Section 14.11Agency Fee. So long as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee. The Agency Fee shall be payable annually in advance commencing on the Closing Date pursuant to the Fee Letter.
Section 14.12Defaulting Lenders.
(1) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Project or the Lien of the Security Documents, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender.”
119
(2) In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, costs and expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgages or to preserve and protect the Project, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance Lender at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
(3) A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advance Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation. Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions.
120
(4) A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.
(5) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (3) above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
(6) In the event any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and none of the other Lenders elects to be a Special Advance Lender pursuant to subsection (1) above, Borrower shall have the right, at any time prior to the Completion Date, provided that no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to cause another financial institution, reasonably acceptable to (x) the Majority Lenders if such institution is not an Eligible Assignee or (y) Administrative Agent if such institution is an Eligible Assignee, to assume Defaulting Lender’s obligations with respect to the Advance Amount on the then-existing terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (such replacement institution, a “Replacement Lender”). Such assumption shall be pursuant to a written instrument reasonably satisfactory to administrative Agent. Upon such assumption, the Replacement Lender shall become a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder, with a Commitment in an amount equal to the Advance Amount, and the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall automatically be reduced by the Advance Amount. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Replacement Lender and the Defaulting Lender substitute notes substantially in the form of Exhibit C and stating: “This Note is a substitute note as contemplated by Section 14.12 of the Agreement; it replaces and is in lieu of that certain note made by Maker dated [date of Note] to the order of [Defaulting Lender] in the principal sum of [Defaulting Lender’s original Commitment].” Such substitute notes shall be in amounts equal to, in the case of the Replacement Lender’s note, the Advance Amount and, in the case of the Defaulting Lender’s note, its Commitment as reduced aforesaid. Such substitute notes shall constitute “Notes” and the obligations evidenced by such substitute notes shall be secured by the Mortgages. In connection with Borrower’s execution of substitute notes as aforesaid, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence, satisfactory to Administrative Agent, of all requisite partnership/limited liability company/corporate action to authorize Borrower’s execution and delivery of the substitute notes and any related documents. Upon delivery of the foregoing substitute notes, each Defaulting Lender shall return to Borrower its note which was replaced, provided that the delivery of a substitute note to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 14.12 shall operate to void and replace the note previously held by the Defaulting Lender regardless of whether Defaulting Lender returns the same as required hereby. Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall execute such modifications to the Loan Documents as shall, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, be necessary or desirable in connection with the substitution of Lenders in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section. Lenders shall reasonably cooperate with Borrower’s attempts to obtain a Replacement Lender, but they shall not be obligated to modify the Loan Documents in connection therewith, other than modifications pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
121
Section 14.13Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
Section 14.14Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Lead Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

The insufficiency of funds on deposit in any account established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments as and when due pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(2) Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may, on a monthly basis, release from the Sweep Account an amount equal to the monthly Operating Expenses pursuant to an Approved Annual Budget.

(f) from time to time upon request by Administrative Agent, to furnish such further assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Security Account Collateral, execute such written agreements, or do such other acts, all as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the purposes of this agreement or as may be required by law, or in order to perfect or continue the first-priority lien and security interest of Administrative Agent in the Security Account Collateral.
(3) Rights on Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, at its option, may withdraw the funds in any Security Account and apply such funds to the items for which the Security Accounts were established or to payment of the Loans in such order, proportion and priority as Administrative Agent may determine in its discretion.
