2.1.3 Limitation on Additional Advance.
The Additional Advance shall be used solely to fund the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit.
2.1.4 Request for Additional Advance; Conditions Precedent.
(a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions herein set forth, Lender agrees to make the Additional Advance to Borrower in the amount of $3,000,000.00 for the purpose of funding the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit. The Additional Advance shall be considered added to the unpaid principal balance of the Loan as of the day the Additional Advance is made for purposes of Borrower’s payment obligations under this Agreement, and repayment thereof, together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate and shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and other collateral given for the Loan.
19
(b) Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall make the Additional Advance to Borrower to fund the Additional Interest Reserve Deposit in an amount equal to $3,000,000.00 on the date required for such Additional Interest Reserve Deposit under Section 3.4 hereof. Borrower shall, or Lender on behalf of Borrower shall, deposit such Additional Advance in the Interest Reserve Subaccount, which shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 3.4.
(c) In the event that the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan (after giving effect to the making of the Additional Advance) is greater than the combined notional amounts of all Interest Rate Cap Agreements previously delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms hereof, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a fully executed supplemental Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap with respect to such Interest Rate Cap Agreement. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered pursuant to this subsection (c) shall (i) be effective through the end of the current Loan Term, (2) have a notional amount (when added to the combined notional amounts of any Interest Rate Cap Agreements previously delivered to Lender in accordance with the terms hereof) not less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (after giving effect to the making of the Additional Advance), (iii) provide for payments to be made by the Counterparty if, at any time during the term of the Loan, the LIBOR Rate exceeds the Strike Rate and (iv) otherwise satisfy all requirements of Section 2.6 hereof.
(d) If the insured amount under the UCC Title Insurance Policy is less than the amount of the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan (after giving effect to the funding of the Additional Advance), Borrower shall deliver to Lender a UCC Title Insurance Policy or endorsement thereto with respect to such Additional Advance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, redating the date of such policy and insuring the priority of the lien on the Collateral in the amount of the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan (after giving effect to the funding of the Additional Advance).
(e) Upon the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent to the Additional Advance, Lender shall disburse the Additional Advance, in accordance with this Section 2.1.4.
(f) [Intentionally Omitted].
(g) [Intentionally Omitted].
(h) Lender shall have no obligation to advance the Additional Advance at any time during which an Event of Default exists. The making of the Additional Advance by Lender at the time when an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing shall not be deemed a waiver or cure by Lender of that Event of Default, nor shall Lender’s rights and remedies by prejudiced in any manner thereby. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan (or any portion thereof comprising the Additional Advance) may not be reborrowed.
Lender’s obligations to perform in accordance with this Section 2.1.4 and to make the Additional Advance in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement are an independent contract made by Lender to Borrower separate and apart from any other obligation
20
of Lender to Borrower under the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Borrower, or any other party, against Lender by reason of Lender’s failure to perform its obligations under this Section 2.1.4.
2.1.5 Intentionally Omitted.
2.1.6 Repayment in Full.
In the event the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan has been repaid in full, Borrower’s right to receive the Additional Advance shall automatically terminate, and upon such termination, Borrower shall have no right to reinstate Lender’s obligation to make the Additional Advance.
2.1.7 Intentionally Omitted.
2.1.8 The Note, Pledge Agreement and Loan Documents.
The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.9 Use of Proceeds.
Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Initial Advance solely to contribute such funds to Mortgage Borrower as may be needed to refinance any existing loan relating to the Property and for the purposes set forth in any disbursement letter or settlement statement entered into in connection herewith. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Additional Advance in accordance with Section 2.1.4 hereof. All of the proceeds of the Mortgage Loan advanced to Mortgage Borrower have been and shall be used solely in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
2.2 Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.
2.2.1 Payments.
(a) Interest. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date to the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs at the Interest Rate. Monthly installments of interest only shall be paid on each Payment Date commencing on July 9, 2007 and on each subsequent Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date for the Interest Period in which such Payment Date or Maturity Date occurs. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the period through and including June 14, 2007 shall be paid by Borrower on the Closing Date. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, including, without limitation, all interest that would accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan through the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond the Maturity Date).
21
(b) Extension of the Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the initial Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each (each, an “Extension Period”) to (y) the Payment Date occurring in June, 2011 (the “First Extension Option”) and (z) the Payment Date occurring in June, 2012 (the “Second Extension Option”) (each such date, the “Extended Maturity Date”), respectively, and, as to each Extension Option, upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:
(1) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the applicable Extension Option is exercised and on the date that the applicable Extension Period is commenced;
(2) Borrower shall notify Lender of its irrevocable election to extend the Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than one hundred twenty (120) days and no later than sixty (60) days prior to the then applicable Maturity Date;
(3) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender on or prior to the commencement of each such Extension Period, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements shall be effective commencing on the first day of such Extension Option and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the next succeeding Extended Maturity Date;
(4) in connection with each Extension Option, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender together with its notice pursuant to subsection (b)(2) of this Section 2.2.1 and as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, an Officer’s Certificate in form reasonably acceptable to the Lender certifying that each of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of such Officer’s Certificate except to the extent such representations and warranties are matters which by their nature can no longer be true and correct as a result of the passage of time;
(5) the In Place Debt Service Coverage Ratio is at least 1.00:1.00;
(6) Borrower shall deposit into the Interest Reserve Subaccount an amount reasonably estimated by Lender, consistent with its then current underwriting standards, sufficient to make all Debt Service and Mortgage Debt Service payments as they become due and payable during the applicable Extension Period; and
(7) the Mortgage Extension Option corresponding to the applicable Extension Period shall have been exercised in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
(c) All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the applicable Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised.
22
(d) All payments and other amounts due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be made without any setoff, defense or irrespective of, and without deduction for, counterclaims.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate equal to the Interest Rate divided by three hundred sixty (360) by (c) the outstanding principal balance.
2.2.3 Eurodollar Rate Unascertainable; Illegality; Increased Costs.
(a) (i) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period, with a written confirmation of such determination promptly thereafter. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. (ii) If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.3(a), the Loan is bearing interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice thereof to Borrower by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower as soon as reasonably practical, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the then current Interest Period. If such notice is given, the Loan shall bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate beginning on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to have the Loan bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate or the Adjusted Prime Rate.
(b) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender in good faith to make or maintain the portion of the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, (I) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make the Loan bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate shall be canceled forthwith and (II) the Loan shall automatically bear interest at the Adjusted Prime Rate on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by Applicable Law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Loan hereunder. Upon written demand from Borrower, Lender shall demonstrate in reasonable detail the circumstances giving rise to Lender’s determination and the calculation substantiating the Adjusted Prime Rate and any additional costs incurred by Lender in making the conversion. Lender’s written notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
23
(c) In the event that any change in any requirement of any Applicable Law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance in good faith by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any Governmental Authority which is generally applicable to all Lenders subject to such Governmental Authority’s jurisdiction:
(1) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(2) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
(3) shall, if the Loan is then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, the result of which is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;
then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender (within ten (10) days of Lender’s written demand therefor), any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(c), Lender shall provide Borrower with written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event or circumstance by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (I) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on the Loan while bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate, (II) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan on a day that is not a Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder and (III) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the Eurodollar Rate to the Adjusted Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Eurodollar Rate on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day
24
of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Eurodollar Rate hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (I), (II) and (III) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”). This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.5 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.5 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.5), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.5 shall be made within ten days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor. If the amounts payable hereunder relate to Applicable Taxes which are not of general application to lending institutions making secured mortgage loans at such time, Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Loan in full without any Spread Maintenance Premium unless Lender, at its option, elects not to require Borrower to pay such Applicable Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred to a transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof, the transferor shall cause such transferee, concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to furnish to the transferor and Borrower either a United States Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder); provided, however, that in the event that the transferor fails to cause the transferee to furnish either such Form, Borrower shall deduct any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by law and payments shall be made net of any Applicable Taxes without regard to the provisions of clause (i) of the second sentence of this Section 2.2.5.
2.2.6 New Payment Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date other than the ninth day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on 30 days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly interest payments, except that the first payment of interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the
25
period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall extend the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.
2.3 Loan Repayment.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have no right to prepay all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section 2.2.5, Section 2.3.2, Section 2.3.4 and Section 2.4 hereof. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate together with all interest that would be due through the end of the current Interest Period; Second, to Principal; and Third, to any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If prior to June 14, 2008 the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Collateral (whether through foreclosure, assignment-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Liquidation Events.
(a) In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of the Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, (iii) a Transfer of the Property in connection with realization thereon by Mortgage Lender following an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, a foreclosure sale, or (iv) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited directly into an account designated by Lender. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, such distribution shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1, and such prepayment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid through the end of the current Interest Period. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be without the payment of the Spread Maintenance Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments.
(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is
26
given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing is entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.3.2 shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of the Property set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, provided no Event of Default is continuing, no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Debt in connection with a simultaneous prepayment of the Mortgage Loan (i) required by Mortgage Lender under Section 5 or 6 of the Mortgage or (ii) at the election of Mortgage Borrower pursuant to Section 7.4.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
2.3.3 Intentionally Omitted.
2.3.4 Optional Prepayments. Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Loan (i) in whole at any time during the term of the Loan or, (ii)(A) after June 14, 2008 or (B) in connection with the Out-Parcel Release pursuant to Section 2.4.1(b) hereof, in part, upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(a) Except with respect to a partial prepayment of the Loan in connection with the Out-Parcel Release, Borrower shall provide prior written notice (the “Prepayment Notice”) to Lender specifying the date (the “Prepayment Date”) upon which the prepayment is to be made, which notice shall be delivered to Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior to such payment; provided, however, that such notice may be revoked up to ten (10) days prior to the Prepayment Date provided Borrower pays to Lender all actual out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the Prepayment Notice;
(b) Borrower shall pay to Lender, simultaneously with such prepayment, (i) all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Prepayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment (the “Interest Shortfall”), (ii) if such prepayment occurs prior to June 14, 2008, the Spread Maintenance Premium; (iii) Breakage Costs; and (iv) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents;
(c) Mortgage Borrower shall have simultaneously with such prepayment made a pro rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan;
(d) If a Prepayment Notice is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.3.4, the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.3.4 shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date unless the applicable Prepayment Notice has been revoked in accordance with this Section 2.3.4; and
(e) Such prepayment shall not be prohibited pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents.
27
2.4 Release of Property.
2.4.1 Partial Release. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to cause Mortgage Borrower to obtain a release (an “Out-Parcel Release”) of the Out-Parcel from the lien of the Mortgage upon compliance with (or waiver by Lender of) the following terms and conditions:
(a) Borrower shall give Lender at least thirty (30) days, but no more than ninety (90) days, prior written notice of its request to obtain an Out-Parcel Release;
(b) Borrower shall prepay the loan in accordance with Section 2.3.4 on a pro-rata basis with the Mortgage Loan, such that the aggregate principal balance of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan following the Out-Parcel Release is less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the value of the remaining Property, as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion. In connection with any such determination, Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to deliver at Borrower’s own cost, an updated appraisal of the remaining Property in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender;

(h) [Intentionally Omitted];
28
(i) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that following the Out-Parcel Release, the provisions of Section 5.13 shall remain true and correct in all material respects;
(j) Borrower shall have caused Mortgage Borrower to comply with any requirements applicable to such release of the Out-Parcel contained in any of the Leases, reciprocal easement agreements, operating agreements, parking agreements or other similar agreements affecting the Property and the release does not violate any of the provisions of such documents in any respect that would result in a termination (or give any other party thereto the right to terminate), or extinguishment or other loss of material rights of Mortgage Borrower or in a material increase in Mortgage Borrower’s obligations under such documents;
(k) Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of each proposed permanent easement, cross easement and mutual or non-exclusive easement for ingress, egress, access, pedestrian walkways, parking, traffic flow, utilities and services being shared by the portion of the property being released and the portion of the Property remaining subject to the lien of the Mortgage which may be required by any governmental authority or which are necessary for the operation of such parcels, all of which are subject to Lender’s reasonable approval;

(n) All of the provisions of Section 2.4.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement have been satisfied.
2.4.2 Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released, and remit any remaining reserve funds held hereunder to Borrower.
2.5 Payments and Computations.
2.5.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
29
2.5.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late Payment Charge. If any regularly scheduled payment of Principal, interest or other monthly payment or reserve or escrow deposit due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. With respect to the foregoing five (5) day grace period, the parties agree that such five (5) day grace period shall only be applicable no more than twice during the Term, and in all other instances, the Late Payment Charge shall be payable in accordance with this Section 2.5.3 with respect to any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document which is not paid by Borrower on the date on which the same is due (other than the balloon payment of Principal due on the Maturity Date or acceleration of the Loan).
2.6 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a) Borrower shall obtain, or cause to be obtained, and shall thereafter maintain in effect, an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Acceptable Counterparty, which shall be coterminous with the Loan and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and which shall at all times have a strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Counterparty shall be obligated under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to make monthly payments equal to the excess of one (1) month LIBOR over the Strike Rate, calculated on the notional amount. The notional amount of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may be reduced from time to time in amounts equal to any prepayment of the principal of the Loan in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof.
(b) Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender pursuant to the Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any related guarantee, if any) and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and notify the Counterparty of such collateral assignment (either in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement or by separate instrument). The Counterparty shall agree in writing to make all payments it is required to make under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement directly to such account as specified by Lender, and provided that no Event of Default shall then exist, such payments shall be applied to the payment of amounts due and payable by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement. At such time as the Loan is repaid in full, all of Lender’s right, title and interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall terminate and Lender shall promptly execute and deliver at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, such documents as may be required to evidence Lender’s release of Lender’s security interest in the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and to notify the Counterparty of such release.
(c) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the
30
event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(d) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Counterparty below “AA-” (or the equivalent) or the short-term unsecured debt rating of “A-1+” or the equivalent by the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement with an Acceptable Counterparty not later than thirty (30) days following receipt of notice from Lender or Servicer of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.
(e) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any Replacement Interest Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.
(f) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent: “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the long-term unsecured debt rating of the Counterparty below “AA-” (or the equivalent) or the short-term unsecured debt rating of “A-1+” or the equivalent by the Rating Agencies, the Counterparty must, within thirty (30) days, either (x) post collateral on terms acceptable to each Rating Agency or (y) find a replacement Acceptable Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency (notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Counterparty’s rating is downgraded to “A” or lower, only the option described in clause (y) will be acceptable); provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Acceptable Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an Additional Termination Event as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the Affected Party.”
(g) In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part (subject to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions), that:
(1) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(2) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the 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
31
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;
(3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the 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
(4) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the 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).

This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien on the Collateral or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents, provided that Lender will not apply any such sums to prepayment of Principal unless it has accelerated the Loan.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 3 with reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:
4.1 Organization; Special Purpose.
(a) Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower is a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
(b) Borrower has the power and authority and the requisite ownership interests to control the actions of Mortgage Borrower, and upon the realization of the Collateral under the Pledge Agreement, Lender or any other party succeeding to the Borrower’s interest in the Collateral described in the Pledge Agreement would have such control. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower has sufficient control over Mortgage Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) take any action on Mortgage Borrower’s part required by the Loan Documents and (ii) refrain from taking any action prohibited by the Loan Documents.
35
4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. The Loan Documents to which Guarantor and/or Affiliates are a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and/or Affiliates party thereto, and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor and/or Affiliates party thereto, enforceable against such Guarantor and/or Affiliates party thereto in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. No exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.
4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s property or other assets. Borrower’s rights under any license or other approval required to own and manage its property, will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents or Borrower’s performance thereunder. Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral, the Manager or the Property, which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, or Manager or the condition or ownership of the Collateral or the Property.
4.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property, or Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance, or any other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property is bound.
36
4.6 Title.
(a) Borrower is the record and beneficial owner of the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral, when properly filed in the appropriate records, will create a valid, perfected first priority security interests in and to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof for which a Lien can be perfected by filing a UCC Financing Statement. For so long as the Lien of the Pledge Agreement is outstanding, Borrower shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement and shall forever warrant and defend such title, validity and priority to Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever.
(b) Mortgage Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Mortgage Borrower have been paid. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. Except as shown on the survey, all of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy. Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower. In addition, neither Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.
4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Collateral, the Property or
37
the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower. All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Collateral and the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral and the Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.9 Tax Filings. To the extent required, Borrower has filed and has caused Mortgage Borrower to file (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, as applicable. Borrower believes that Borrower and Mortgage Borrower’s tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower and Mortgage Borrower, as applicable, for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
4.10 No Plan Assets. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) no Loan Party is or will be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of any Loan Party constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) no Loan Party is or will be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with any Loan Party are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor Mortgage Borrower, nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).
4.11 Compliance. Borrower and Mortgage Borrower and, to Borrower’s best knowledge, the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances). Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, as applicable. The Property is used exclusively as an office building property and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of
38
obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
4.12 Contracts. There are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Mortgage Borrower’s business (or that of its predecessor in interest) and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.
4.13 Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
4.14 Easements; Utilities and Public Access. All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Owner’s Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.15 Physical Condition. To Borrower’s knowledge and except as set forth in the property condition assessment, prepared by AEI Consultants and delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; to Borrower’s knowledge there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the
39
Property, whether latent or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower has received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards. The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
4.16 Leases. The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 8 (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll. Except as set forth on the Rent Roll or tenant estoppel certificates delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof: (i) each Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof; (iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than 30 days in advance; (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (v) to Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant has made any claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default; (vi) to Borrower’s best knowledge, there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent with Section 3.7 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement; (viii) Mortgage Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease; (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of Mortgage Borrower and the applicable tenant thereunder; and (x) to Borrower’s best knowledge, no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease. None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Mortgage Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.
4.17 Fraudulent Transfer. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
40
4.18 Ownership of Borrower. Borrower is the sole limited partner of Mortgage Borrower and the sole member of Mortgage Borrower GP. The only member of Borrower is Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP. The only partners of Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP are BHO, Inc. (less than 0.1% general partner), and BHO Business Trust (in excess of 99.9% limited partner). The sole beneficiary of BHO Business Trust and sole shareholder of BHO, Inc. is Behringer Harvard Opportunity REIT. The partnership interests in Mortgage Borrower, the membership interest in Mortgage Borrower GP, the membership interest in Borrower, and the partnership interests in Behringer Harvard Opportunity OP I, LP are owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase (other than those granted in connection with the making of the Loan). Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it. The organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower.
4.19 Purchase Options. Neither the Property nor any part thereof is subject to any purchase options or other similar rights in favor of third parties.
4.20 Management Agreement. The Management Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto. Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Mortgage Borrower has appointed the Manager as its agent for (i) hiring, terminating (subject to the provisions thereof), overseeing and otherwise dealing with any sub-property manager for the Property, (ii) otherwise overseeing the operation and management of the Property, and (iii) making decisions and otherwise interacting and dealing with Mortgage Lender with respect to the Mortgage Loan and the Property. Additionally, subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the Clearing Account Agreement and the Deposit Account Agreement, the Manager has control of all operating and other bank accounts with respect to the Property.

47
risk of criminal liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall have furnished, or caused Mortgage Borrower to have furnished, to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost of such Remedial Work as estimated by Lender or Lender’s Consultant and any loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s or Mortgage Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest, which amount shall periodically be disbursed to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, as applicable, during the course of such Remedial Work, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, as applicable, to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) certifying that the Remedial Work or any portion thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Remedial Work or any portion thereof and (C) stating that each such Person has been or, upon receipt of the requested disbursement, will be paid in full with respect to the portion of the Remedial Work which is the subject of the requested disbursement; (ii) copies of appropriate Lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender; (iii) with respect to any disbursement that exceeds $50,000, at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that it is free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (iv) a copy of each License required to be obtained with respect to the portion of the Remedial Work which is the subject of the requested disbursement; and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Remedial Work which is the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed and paid for.

Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) any Remedial Work may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Remedial Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to deposit the security described above provided Mortgage Borrower is required to and does deliver such security to Mortgage Lender in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents and Lender receives evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender of the delivery of such security.

If requested by Borrower, Lender will grant conditional approvals of Proposed Leases or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional material terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved by Lender in connection with such Proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease.

Lender shall notify Borrower in the event the Loan is intended to be included in a Securitization in which Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more of its Affiliates collectively, or the Collateral alone or the Collateral and other assets collectively, will be a “Significant Obligor” (as defined in Regulation AB) and, in such event, Lender shall credit Borrower $20,000 for expenses (other than legal fees and disbursements of Borrower’s counsel) incurred by Borrower in connection with its compliance with Regulation AB prior to the cut-off date for such Securitization.
7. INSURANCE; CASUALTY; AND CONDEMNATION
7.1 Insurance.
(a) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to maintain at all times during the term of the Loan the insurance required under Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting all insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with Mortgage Lender or as an additional named insured under each of the insurance policies described in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement as requested by Lender. Borrower shall also cause all insurance policies required under such Section 7.1 to provide for at least thirty (30)
66
days prior notice to Lender in the event of modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies. Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Lender, simultaneously with delivery by Mortgage Borrower to Mortgage Lender of the same, certified copies of the Policies marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Collateral, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to in the Mortgage Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) as are provided in favor of Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of both the Mortgage Borrower and Borrower. The Policies delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described in Section 7.1.2 thereof, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same rights as the Mortgage Lender as referred to in such Section 7.1.2.
(d) In the event that the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full, Lender shall have the same right to participate in and reasonably approve any settlement for insurance or condemnation claims with respect to the Proceeds or Award for the Property as is provided in favor of Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to cause Mortgage Borrower to file and prosecute such claim and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment.
7.2 Casualty. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by a Casualty, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower, regardless of whether Proceeds are available (unless Mortgage Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement), to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.
7.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any Condemnation and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower shall cause
67
Mortgage Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available (unless Mortgage Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement), to promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
(a) Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are delivered to Mortgage Lender under Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with a Restoration of the Property after a Casualty or Condemnation. If any Proceeds or Award are to be disbursed by Mortgage Lender for Restoration, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender copies of all written correspondence of a material nature delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that relates to the Restoration and release of the Proceeds or Award.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, all Proceeds and Award will be made available to Mortgage Borrower in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In the event the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full and Lender receives any Proceeds or Award, Lender shall either apply such proceeds to the Debt or for the Restoration of the Property in accordance with the same terms and conditions contained in Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
7.5 Rights of Lender. For purposes of this Article 7, Borrower shall obtain the approval of Lender for each matter requiring the approval of Mortgage Lender under the provisions of Sections 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, with each reference in any such provisions to the “Loan” to include the Mortgage Loan and the Loan, and the reference in any such provisions to the “Stated Maturity Date” to mean the Stated Maturity Date, as defined herein. If the Mortgage Lender does not require the deposit by the Mortgage Borrower of any deficiency in proceeds to complete any Restoration pursuant to Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower make a deposit of such amounts in accordance with the terms of such Section (as if each reference therein to “Borrower” and “Lender” referred to Borrower and Lender, respectively).
8. DEFAULTS

8.2 Remedies.
8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to any or all of the Collateral and may exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code against Borrower and the Collateral; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
70
8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral, the security interest granted under the Pledge Agreement has been foreclosed, the Collateral has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any particular portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Collateral or any part thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. During the continuance of an Event of Default Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages, pledge agreements and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the security interest granted under the Pledge Agreement to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Collateral or any other collateral.
71
8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure. Additionally, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any Protective Advance (hereinafter defined) (provided, however, that Lender will only make such Protective Advance from its own funds if there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Accounts), and the same shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. As used herein, “Protective Advance” means all sums advanced for the purpose of payment of real estate taxes (including special payments in lieu of real estate taxes), maintenance costs, insurance premiums, operating expenses, trade payables or other items with respect to the Property (including capital items) or the Collateral reasonably necessary to protect the Property, the Collateral or any other security given for the Loan or to preserve any of Lender’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.
8.3 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do any act required of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to the rights of tenants under their respective Leases, Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
8.4 Power of Attorney. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Article 8, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this Article in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
72
9. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.
Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer, pledge or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any portion thereof, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”). At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization or the sale of the Note or the participations or Securities, including, without limitation, to:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Collateral, the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) if required by the Rating Agencies, deliver (i) a revised Insolvency Opinion, (ii) revised opinions of counsel as to due execution and enforceability with respect to Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (iii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates (including, without limitation, such revisions as are necessary to comply with the provisions of Section 5.13 hereof), which counsel, opinions and organizational documents shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(c) if required by the Rating Agencies, cause Mortgage Borrower to use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies.
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (except for modifications and amendments required to be made pursuant to Section (e) and (f) below), (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.
73
(e) if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Securitization, to split the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, amortization payments, principal amounts (including, without limitation, the amounts and obligations to make Additional Advances thereunder), payment priorities and maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same. Such Notes or components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for such Notes or components after such modification shall not exceed the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for such Notes or components immediately prior to such modification (without giving effect to any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate, default prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.1 hereof or mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof), it being understood and agreed that such weighted average of the interest rate spreads after such modification shall not exceed LIBOR plus 1.75% (without giving effect to any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate, default prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.1 hereof or mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof);
(f) execute modifications to the Loan Documents changing the interest rate and/or the amortization payments for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, the amounts and obligations to make Additional Advances thereunder), provided that the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan after such modification shall not exceed the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such modification (without giving effect to any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate, default prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.1 hereof or mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof), it being understood and agreed that such weighted average of the interest rate spreads after such modification shall not exceed LIBOR plus 1.75% (without giving effect to any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate, default prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.1 hereof or mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof). Borrower shall also provide opinions and title insurance reasonably necessary to effectuate the same;
(g) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Collateral, the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in securitization transactions and as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and

74
pay all legal fees and disbursements of Borrower’s counsel. The foregoing shall not limit Borrower’s obligation under Section 9.2 hereof.
9.2 Securitization Indemnification.
(a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum, offering circular or other offering document (each a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings (an “Exchange Act Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to Investors or prospective Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b) Borrower agrees to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, or (iii) collateral and structured term sheets or similar materials, an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has carefully examined such memorandum or prospectus or term sheets, as applicable, solely with respect to the factual contents thereof related to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, Borrower, any Loan Party, Guarantor, Manager, the Property, the Collateral and the Provided Information, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgages,” “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and such sections (and any other sections reasonably requested) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Citigroup”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Citigroup Group”), and Citigroup, each of its directors and each Person who controls Citigroup within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Citigroup Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections described in clause (A) above (but solely with respect to the factual contents thereof related to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, Borrower, any Loan Party, Guarantor, Manager, the Property, the Collateral and the Provided Information), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections (as they relate to such matters) or in
75
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Citigroup Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender the Citigroup Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Property. This indemnification will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate.
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) Lender, the Citigroup Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Citigroup Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Citigroup Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Citigroup Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2 the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying
76
party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party to parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnifications provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Citigroup’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined solely by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.2, nothing contained in this Section 9.2 shall impose liability upon Borrower for any losses, claims, damages or liability arising out of or based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in any statement, report or document provided to Lender on behalf of Borrower by a party who is not an Affiliate of Borrower (a “Third Party Report”), unless Borrower had actual knowledge at the time Borrower provided such statement, report or document to Lender that such Third Party Report contains such untrue statement.
(g) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
9.3 Reallocation of Loan Amounts.
(a) Lender, without in any way limiting its other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time prior to a Securitization, to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan (including, without limitation, the amounts and obligations to make Additional Advances thereunder) and/or adjust the interest rate rates thereon provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately following such reallocation shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such reallocation, and (ii) the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan after such reallocation shall not exceed the weighted average of the interest rate spreads for the Loan and the Mortgage Loan immediately prior to such reallocation (without giving effect to any deviation attributable
77
to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate, default prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.1 hereof or mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof), it being understood and agreed that such weighted average of the interest rate spreads after such reallocation shall not exceed LIBOR plus 1.75% (without giving effect to any deviation attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate, default prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.1 hereof or mandatory prepayments pursuant to Section 2.3.2 hereof). Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to reallocate the amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender in connection therewith, including, without limitation, amendments to the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, and endorsements to the Title Insurance Policy and the UCC title insurance policy, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(b) All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.3 (other than legal fees and disbursements of Borrower’s counsel) shall be paid by Lender but Borrower shall pay all legal fees and disbursements of Borrower’s counsel. The foregoing shall not limit Borrower’s obligation under Section 9.2 hereof.
9.4 Mortgage Loan Defaults.
(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any Mortgage Event of Default, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right (to the extent necessary to remediate or cure such Mortgage Event of Default), without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrower, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), with interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to Borrower for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall be due and payable to Lender within two (2) Business Days following demand therefor.
(b) Subject to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this Section 9.4.
78
(c) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs), and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in Section 9.4(a), except to the extent arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan.
(d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(e) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property and Mortgage Borrower in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law.
9.5 Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) Lender and Mortgage Lender are or will be parties to a certain intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Mortgage Loan, the Loan, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, the Collateral and the Property. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender and (ii) Borrower and Mortgage Borrower are not intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(b) In the event the Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to pay over any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan to the Mortgage Lender, then Borrower agrees that any amounts so paid shall be deemed to continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.
79
9.6 Discussions with Mortgage Lender. In connection with the exercise of its rights set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Property, the Mortgage Loan, the Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or any other Loan Party, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or any other Loan Party.
9.7 Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval in accordance with the Loan Documents shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Collateral or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document.

Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer in connection with a release
82
of the Collateral, assumption or modification of the Loan, enforcement of the Loan Documents or any other action taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender, to the extent such actions are permitted to be taken pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, but only to the extent that Borrower is expressly required to pay such expenses pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.
10.9 Headings/Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
10.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
10.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or in part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
10.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
10.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its
85
agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
10.14 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against Borrower by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have (including with respect to any future funding obligation, if any, or any default or dispute relating thereto) against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the Citigroup Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender; provided however, that Lender’s consent shall not be required by Borrower, Borrower’s Affiliates, or any broker dealer or investor representative related to the marketing or sale of any investment fund or investment trust managed by Borrower’s Affiliates which disclosure is required under the Securities Act of 1933 or 1934 or to any potential purchaser of an interest in the Property. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.
10.17 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for
86
the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
10.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
10.20 Spread Maintenance Premium. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to June 14, 2008, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 2.2.5, Section 2.3.2 and Section 2.3.4 of this Agreement, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Spread Maintenance Premium. Such Spread Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Spread Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Spread Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
10.21 Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all
87
references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
10.22 Borrower’s Designee. Borrower hereby authorizes, designates and directs Borrower’s Designee to give Lender directions of any kind, to take the actions or make such deliveries specified herein to be taken or delivered by Borrower’s Designee (including under Sections 5.11, 6.3 and 9.1, and including with respect to any requisitions from any reserve accounts under Article 3) and to give and receive notices of any kind on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any notice given by Lender to Borrower’s Designee shall be deemed to have been given to each and every Borrower.
10.23 Intentionally Omitted.
10.24 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
10.25 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
88
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their duly authorized representatives, all as of the day and year first above written.
