Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the
Maturity Date at the Applicable Interest Rate, and thereafter, if not paid in

2.2.2 Interest
Calculation. Interest on the
Outstanding Principal Balance 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 based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year
by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.
2.2.3 Determination
of Interest Rate. (a) The
Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus
the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Accrual Period for a LIBOR

Section 2.2.3 (c) or (f).
(b) Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a
LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance
at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Accrual Period. Any change
in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest
Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on

writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related
Interest Accrual Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime

non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign
Taxes”), excluding income and
franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico). If any Foreign
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder,
the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other
amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder.
Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as
promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original
official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of
such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from
any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate
taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence.

forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted
automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within
such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay
Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate
28
Lender
for any 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 LIBOR
Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g) In the event that any
change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application
thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not
having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other
Governmental Authority:
(i) 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;
(ii) shall 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
(iii) shall hereafter impose on
Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing 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, upon demand, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or
reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by
Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to
this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide
Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days’ notice specifying in
reasonable detail the event 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 in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive
payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower
under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
(h) 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 a LIBOR Loan, 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 a LIBOR Loan
hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the
LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following
the last day of an Interest Accrual Period with respect thereto or (B) is
the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Accrual
Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior notice of such
prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without
limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest
29
or
fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain
the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion (for any reason
whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate
from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with
respect to any portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance then bearing
interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date
immediately following the last day of an Interest Accrual 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 a LIBOR Loan
hereunder (the amounts referred to in the preceding clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage
Costs”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not
indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful
misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note
in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(i) Lender shall not be
entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes,
increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any
reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than
ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in
law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and
delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this
Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be
conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest
error.
2.2.4 Additional
Costs. Lender will use
reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to
maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased
or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested
by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or
Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending
office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the
LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided
that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in
any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by
Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to
Lender as determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
2.2.5 Default
Rate. In the event that, and for
so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued
and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to
the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from
the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods
contained herein.

Savings. It is the intent of Lender
and Borrower in the execution of this Agreement and all other instruments now or
hereafter securing the Note and this Agreement to contract in strict compliance

amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding

by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender
shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other
thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase
the effective interest rate on the Loan to a rate in excess of that permitted to
be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the
lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of Lender, be either
immediately returned to Borrower or credited against the principal balance of
the Loan then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind
under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.

non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to
believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such
condition and Borrower agrees that said holder shall have ninety (90) days in
which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such
condition if in fact such exists. strict compliance with applicable usury law.
In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the
terms and provisions contained in this Agreement, or in any other instrument
executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create a contract to
pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess
of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law; that
neither Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter
becoming liable for payment of the Loan shall ever be obligated or required to
pay interest on the Loan at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be
lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this Section
shall control over all other provisions of the Loan and any other instruments
now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent
conflict herewith. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect
excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the
Loan is accelerated. If the maturity of the Loan shall be accelerated for any
reason or if the principal of the Loan is paid prior to the end of the term of
the Loan, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of
existence of the Loan exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Lender shall,
at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the
amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding
and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided
by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender
shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other
thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase
the effective interest rate on the Loan to a rate in excess of that permitted to
be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the
lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of
31
Lender, be either
immediately returned to Borrower or credited against the principal balance of
the Loan then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind
under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable.

non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to
believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such
condition and Borrower agrees that said holder shall have ninety (90) days in
which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such
condition if in fact such exists.

equal to the term of the Loan and (v) shall have an initial notional amount

the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited directly
into the Mezzanine Cash Management Account. On each date on which Lender
actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service,
Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to
one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service,
together with interest that would have accrued on such amount through the next
Payment Date. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in
excess of
35

Debt shall be paid to Borrower. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.4.4(a) on a date other than a

interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of
Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date. Other than
following an Event of Default, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection
with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.4(a)(i)
or (ii).

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

contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding
refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of the Property set forth in this

written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all
principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable

release of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement and all other Collateral, Borrower
shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Payment Date
on which Borrower intends to pay the Loan in full, a release of Lien (and

sole right to make withdrawals from the Mezzanine Cash Management Account and
all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Mezzanine Cash
Management Account shall be paid by Borrower.
(b) The insufficiency of funds

whatsoever.

Account (rather than the Mortgage Cash Management Account) in immediately
available funds by federal wire transfer all amounts on deposit in the Lockbox
Account on the last Business Day of each week throughout the term of the Loan.
In addition, in such event, all sums on deposit in the Mortgage Cash Management
Account shall be transferred to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, whereupon

REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES |
Section
4.1 Borrower
Representations.
Borrower represents and
warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
4.1.1 Organization. Borrower has been duly
organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and
authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is
now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with
its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights,
licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to
entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is
now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and
operation of Mortgage Borrower. The ownership interests of Borrower are as set
forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule
II.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors
generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law).
4.1.3 No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will
not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of
the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management
agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by
which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action
result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or
regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or
any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval,
authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such
Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by
Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is
in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions,
suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority
or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or the Property, which actions, suits or
proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal,
Guarantor or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition
(financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or the
condition or ownership of the Property.
47
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to
any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially
and adversely affect Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the
Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or Borrower’s business, properties or assets,
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
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage
Borrower, the Collateral or the Property are bound. Neither Borrower nor
Mortgage Borrower has any material financial obligation under any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or 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 otherwise bound, other than
(a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the
Property as permitted pursuant to clause
(t) of
the definition of “Special Purpose
Entity” set forth in
Section 1.1 hereof and
(b) obligations under the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents,
as applicable.
4.1.6 Title. The Pledgor under the
Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and Borrower has good
and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever
except the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in
the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use
of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The
Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the
Collateral, will create a valid lien on, and security interest in and to, the
Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof. To Borrower’s knowledge,
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.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not
entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the
Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to
hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent
value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect
to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will,
immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total
liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed
and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and
will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s
probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities
on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not
and, immediately following the making of the Loan 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 and liabilities as they mature
(taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower
and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower).
No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower,
Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective constituent Persons, and none of
Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective
constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or
taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of
Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective
constituent Persons is contemplating either the
48
filing
of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or
the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and
Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such
petition against it, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their
respective constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and
Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made
by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There
is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to
Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might
adversely affect, Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Principal,
Guarantor, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Borrower.
4.1.9 No Plan
Assets. Borrower does not sponsor,
is not obligated to contribute to and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,”
as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none
of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or
more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In
addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are
not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary
obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect,
which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, including, but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its
rights under the Loan Documents.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and, to
Borrower’s knowledge, the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all
material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without
limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default
or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any
Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, or any other
Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property,
any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture
as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of
Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
4.1.11 Financial
Information. All financial data,
including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and
operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower,
the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or the Property in connection with the Loan
(a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects,
(b) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property as of the
date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an
independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance
with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except
for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities,
liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or
anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower
and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on Borrower, the
Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or the Property or the operation thereof as an
office building, except as referred to or reflected in said financial
statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no
material adverse change in the financial
49
condition, operation or
business of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower from that set forth in said financial
statements.

for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

4.1.17 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not
subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by
Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, including, without limitation, the defense of
usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the
exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable
(subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws
generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’
obligations), and none of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor has asserted any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect
thereto.
4.1.18 No Prior
Assignment. There are no prior
assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to

obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence;
Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause
to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and

of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees not to permit or cause Mortgage Borrower to commit, permit
or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.

keep or cause Mortgage Borrower to keep the Property insured at all times by
financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks,
and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in
this Agreement. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest (or cause Mortgage Borrower to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding

Legal Requirement; (g) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the
contested Legal Requirement against Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and the
Collateral or the Property; and (h) Borrower shall furnish such security as
may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender,
to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and
penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security,
as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when,
in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation
of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property or the
Collateral (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

thereof, as the same become due and payable; provided, however, that Borrower’s
obligation to cause Mortgage Borrower to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended
for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will
deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender receipts for payment or other
evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so
paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on
which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid.
Borrower shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender receipts for the
payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall
become delinquent provided, however, that Borrower is not
required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such

has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to contest same
under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the
Mortgage; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in
accordance with, the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower and
Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (d)

entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or any part thereof
or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated,
cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being
primed by any related Lien.

written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending
or threatened against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property, the Collateral,

material by such independent certified public accountant and (vi) an
Officer’s Certificate certifying that each annual financial statement fairly
presents the financial condition and the results of operations of Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower and the Property being reported upon, and that such financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and as of the date thereof

proposed Annual Budget that requires the approval of Lender hereunder, the most
recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that such Approved Annual
Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance
Premiums and utilities expenses.
(e) In the event that Mortgage
Borrower or Borrower must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital
Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each, an “Extraordinary
Expense”), then Borrower shall
promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed
Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be

Reserve Funds. Borrower shall cause
Mortgage Borrower to deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve
Funds as more particularly set forth in Article VII of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement and to perform and comply with all the terms and provisions relating

subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender, and any and all monies now or

for payment of the Debt to the extent Borrower has an interest in same. Subject
to the qualifications regarding Mortgage Lender’s interest in the Mortgage Loan
Reserve Funds, if any, until expended or applied in accordance with the Mortgage
Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, Borrower’s interest in the Mortgage Loan
Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt and upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other
remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the
Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole
discretion.
5.1.25 Notices. Borrower shall give
notice, or cause notice to be given to Lender promptly upon the occurrence and

ability of Borrower to perform under the Loan Documents, the ability of Mortgage
Borrower to perform under the Mortgage Loan Documents or the rights and remedies
of Lender under the Loan Documents;
(c) any litigation or
proceeding affecting Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, affecting any
of Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Guarantor; or

rights under the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreement to cause Mortgage Borrower
to make to Borrower a distribution in an aggregate amount such that Lender shall
receive the amount required to be disbursed to the Mezzanine Cash Management
Account or otherwise paid to Lender on such date.
64
5.1.27 Curing. Lender shall have the
right, but shall not have the obligation, to exercise Borrower’s rights under
the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreements (a) to cure any Mortgage Loan Default
or any Mortgage Loan Event of Default and (b) to satisfy any Liens, claims or
judgments against the Property (except for Liens permitted by the Mortgage Loan
Documents), in the case of either clause
(a) or
clause
(b),
unless Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be diligently pursuing remedies to
cure the same to Lender’s sole satisfaction. Borrower shall reimburse Lender on
demand for any and all costs incurred by Lender in connection with curing any
such Mortgage Loan Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default or satisfying any
Liens, claims or judgments against the Property, together with interest thereon

Borrower.
5.1.28 Compliance With Mortgage
Loan Documents.
(a) Borrower shall cause
Mortgage Borrower to comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions set
forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that the obligation
to comply with this covenant is separate from, and may be enforced independently
from, the obligations of Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan
Documents.
(b) Without limiting the
generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or
releasing Borrower from any of the Obligations, if there shall occur and be
continuing any Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Borrower hereby expressly agrees
that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to 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 Borrower and/or 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. All sums so paid and the costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in exercising such rights (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (i) shall constitute additional advances
of the Loan to Borrower, (ii) shall increase the then unpaid principal
amount of the Loan by the amount of such sums, costs and expenses, (iii) shall
bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such sums,
costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender,
(iv) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (v) shall be secured by
the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Borrower hereby
indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, assessments, actions, 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 actions
described in the foregoing Section
5.1.28(b), except to the extent
caused by Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Lender shall have no
obligation to Borrower or any of its Affiliates or any other party to make any
such payment or performance. Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not permit
Mortgage Borrower to, impede, interfere with, hinder or
65
delay
any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any Mortgage Loan Event of
Default or asserted Mortgage Loan Event of Default, or to otherwise protect or
preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a Mortgage
Loan Event of Default or asserted Mortgage Loan Event of Default.
(d) Any Mortgage Loan Event of
Default shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent
payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. Borrower (on behalf of
itself and on behalf of each Mortgage Borrower) hereby grants Lender and any
Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time
following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Mortgage Loan Event
of Default, or the assertion by Mortgage Lender that a Mortgage Loan Event of
Default has occurred, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in,
defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrower’s and/or Lender’s
interest in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender may take such action as
Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and
purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Mortgage Lender with
respect to any Mortgage Loan Default), without prior notice to or consent from
Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure
undertaken or commenced by Lender.

5.2.6 Zoning. Borrower shall not
initiate or cause Mortgage Borrower to initiate or consent to any zoning
reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any

the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Collateral as
a means of maintaining the value of the Collateral as security for repayment of
the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges
that Lender has a valid interest
68
in
maintaining the value of the Collateral so as to ensure that, should Borrower

Affiliated Manager) other than in accordance with Section 5.1.22 hereof.
(d) Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section
5.2.10,
the following transfers shall not be deemed to be a Transfer and shall not
require Lender’s consent: (i) the sale or transfer, in one or a series of

Restricted Party; (ii) the sale or transfer, directly or indirectly, in one
or a series of transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the
limited partnership interests or non-managing limited liability company
interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party; provided, however, that with respect to
each such sale or transfer (A) no such sales or transfers shall result in
the change of voting control in the Restricted Party, (B) as a condition to
each such sale or transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days
prior notice of such proposed
69
sale
or transfer, (C) no such sale or transfer of any direct ownership interests
in Borrower, General Partner or Mortgage Borrower shall be permitted,
(D) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid any and all costs imposed or

requirements of this Section
5.2.10(d), except following
transfers of the Property permitted pursuant to Section
5.2.10(f), at all times during the
term of the Loan, the Operating Partnership must continue to control Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower and Affiliated Manager and own, directly or indirectly, at
least a fifty-one percent (51%) interest in Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and
Affiliated Manager. The sale, transfer or issuance of stock in the REIT shall
not be deemed a transfer hereunder provided the stock of the REIT is listed and
traded on the New York Stock Exchange or such other nationally recognized stock
exchange.
(e) Lender shall not be
required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased
risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and
payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s written consent. This provision shall
apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or
not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
(f) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any Transfers or rights
under Section
5.2.10(g)
hereof, Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a

Borrower (or the then owner of the Property), provided that the following terms
and conditions are satisfied: (i) Borrower (or the then owner of the Property)

transfer thereafter; (vi) the delivery of an Additional Insolvency Opinion
reflecting the proposed Transfer reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to Lender; (vii) the proposed transferee’s

and Section
5.2.9
hereof; (viii) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the single
purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of the proposed transferee, and its
shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, following such Transfer
is in accordance with the then current standards of Lender and the Rating
Agencies; (ix) prior to any release of Guarantor, a substitute guarantor
acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion shall have assumed the Guaranty
executed by Guarantor or executed a replacement guaranty reasonably satisfactory
to Lender; (x) Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the

re-qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating assigned to
the Securities or any class thereof in any applicable Securitization; (xi) the
satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.10 (f) of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement; and (xii) the satisfaction of such other conditions as
Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the interest of
Lender, including, without limitation, the creditworthiness, reputation and
qualifications of the transferee with respect to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and
the Property.
(g) A Transfer that occurs by
inheritance, devise or bequest or by operation of law upon the death or
disability of a natural person who holds an indirect interest in Mortgage
Borrower and a Transfer by a natural person of indirect interests in Mortgage
Borrower for estate planning purposes shall not require the consent of Lender
and no transfer fee shall be payable in connection therewith, provided that, in
each case, such Transfer is to a non-minor member of the immediate family of the
holder of such interest, or a trust established for the benefit of a member of
the immediate family of the holder of such interest, and provided further that,
in each case, each of the following transfer conditions are
satisfied:
(i) no Event of Default shall
have occurred and remain uncured;
(ii) Borrower shall give Lender
notice of such Transfer together with copies of all instruments effecting such
transfer not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such Transfer, or in
the event that any such Transfer or series of Transfers shall result in any
Person that does not own more than a 20% direct or indirect interest in Mortgage
Borrower as of the date hereof owning more than a 20% direct or indirect
interest in Mortgage Borrower, Borrower shall give Lender thirty (30) days prior
written notice of such Transfer and Lender shall have an opportunity to perform

Business Days after such Transfer;
(iii) no such Transfer of
interest shall result in a change of control of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower
(or its managing member or general partner) or the day to day operations of the
Property, or, if such Transfer would result in a change of control of Mortgage
Borrower or Borrower (or its managing member or general partner) or the day to
day operations of the Property as a result of the death or disability of an
interest holder that is a natural person, Lender
shall have approved in good faith the Person that will control Mortgage Borrower or
Borrower and/or
the day to day operations of the Property;
(iv) the legal and financial
structure of Mortgage Borrower and Borrower and their shareholders, partners or
members, and the single purpose nature and bankruptcy
71
remoteness of Mortgage
Borrower and Borrower and its shareholders, partners or members, after such
Transfer shall satisfy Lender’s then current applicable underwriting criteria
and requirements;
(v) if, after taking into
account any prior Transfers pursuant to this Section
5.2.10(g), whether to the proposed
transferee or otherwise, such Transfer (or series of Transfers) shall result in
(A) the proposed transferee, together with all members of his/her immediate
family or any affiliates thereof, owning in the aggregate (directly, indirectly
or beneficially) more than 49% of the interests in Mortgage Borrower (or any
entity directly or indirectly holding an interest in Mortgage Borrower), or (B)

(h) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, Operating Partnership, or its Affiliates,
shall have the right to, and may, pledge, without Lender’s consent, its indirect
equity interests in Borrower, other than any direct interests in Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower or General Partner, to secure (i) a loan facility or loan
facilities to Operating Partnership or its Affiliates other than Borrower,
Mortgage Borrower or General Partner, from a group of lenders
for which Credit Suisse First Boston acting through its New York branch will act
as initial administrative and collateral agent and (ii) related hedging
arrangements in connection therewith without Lender’s consent; provided,
however, that in either case, Operating Partnership or its Affiliates (other
than Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or General Partner) pledges, directly or
indirectly, its equity interests in substantially all of the property owning
subsidiaries in which Operating Partnership holds a direct or indirect interest,
and provided further that any enforcement action taken pursuant to such pledge
shall constitute a Transfer that is prohibited pursuant to the terms of this
Section
5.2.10
and the holder of such pledge shall be required to comply with all of the
applicable provisions of this Section
5.2.10.

(a) Borrower
shall obtain, or for so long as the Mortgage Loan is outstanding, cause
Mortgagor Borrower to maintain, at all times during the term of the Loan the
Policies required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement,
including, without limitation, meeting all insurer requirements thereunder,
regardless of whether the Mortgage Loan is outstanding or has been paid in full.
In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as an additional named
insured under each of the Policies described in Sections 6.1(a)(ii), (v),
(vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In addition,
Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with
Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the Policies required under
Sections 6.1(a)(i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
Borrower shall also cause all insurance policies required under this
Section 6.1 to provide for at least
thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation or
material changes. Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of all such
insurance required hereunder on or before the date on which Mortgage Borrower is
required to provide such evidence to Mortgage 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
Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance
coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums
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
shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section
6.2 Casualty and
Condemnation.
6.2.1 Casualty. If the Property shall be
damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a
“Casualty”), Borrower shall give
prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to
promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that
the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in
immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably
approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration
whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be
obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition,
Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance
companies (and shall approve any final settlement) with respect to any Casualty
in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or
greater than One
74
Million and No/100 Dollars
($1,000,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably
required by Lender to permit such participation.
6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly
give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in
respect of Condemnation, and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender
copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender
may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time
deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such
participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and
cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.
Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through
Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in
lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall
continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment
in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any
Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the
deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.
Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable
Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award
interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or
any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall cause
Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and
otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to
the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not
a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied,
to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
6.2.3 Restoration. Borrower shall, or shall
cause Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans,

Section
7.1 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
7.2 Tax and
Insurance Escrow Funds.
(a) Borrower
shall pay to Lender (i) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes that
Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in
order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least
thirty (30) days prior to their delinquency date, and (ii) (A) on the
Closing Date, an amount equal to $22,057.71 (the “Initial Blanket
Insurance Premium Installment”) and
(B) (1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium
Financing Arrangement (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) remains in
full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment (as
defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement for the next occurring payment under the
applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (2) with
respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium
Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Insurance
Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage
afforded by the Policies for an annual period upon the expiration thereof in
order to accumulate with Lender
75
sufficient funds to pay
all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of
the Policies (said amounts in the preceding clauses
(i) and
(ii) being hereinafter called
the “Tax and Insurance
Escrow Funds”). Such amounts will be
transferred by Lender to an account held by Lender (the “Tax and Insurance
Escrow Account”). The Tax and Insurance
Escrow Funds and the Monthly Interest Payment shall be added together and shall
be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided no Event of Default
shall exist, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of
Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to
Sections
5.1.2 and
6.1 hereof and/or to payments
due to the applicable finance company under the applicable Blanket Insurance
Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In making any payment relating to
the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may do so according to any xxxx,
statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect
to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim
thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the
amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections
5.1.2 and
6.1 hereof, Lender shall
credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after
the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such
excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the
owner of the Property. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set
forth in clauses
(i) and
(ii) above, Lender shall
notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly
payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up
the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes
and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All earnings of interest
on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall become part of the Tax and Insurance
Escrow Funds and shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section
7.2. If
Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a
tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to
Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the
cost of making annual tax searches throughout the Term.
(b) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Section
7.2, with
respect to the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit, and the required
monthly payments required under clause (ii) above through the end of the current
policy year, the parties agree as follows: for the period from the date hereof
through August 1, 2005, the Property will be covered by a blanket insurance
policy as described in Section 6.1(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, but
instead of participating in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement,
Borrower will pay its allocable share of the Insurance Premiums in a single
installment, due approximately thirty (30) days after the date hereof.
Borrower’s allocable share of the annual Insurance Premiums for the blanket
policy for the period from the date hereof through August 1, 2005 is the Initial
Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit. Borrower has deposited the Initial Blanket
Insurance Premium Deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds on the date
hereof (as set forth in clause
(ii)(A)
in the immediately preceding paragraph). Borrower will notify Lender in writing
at least ten (10) days in advance of the date when such Insurance Premium is
due, whereupon Lender will apply such amount to the payment of Borrower’s
allocable share of the blanket policy Insurance Premium. On the Payment Dates in
April, May, June and July of 2005, Borrower will pay to Lender for deposit in
the Tax and
76
Insurance Escrow Funds the
sum of $4,826.78 per month. On each Payment Date commencing with the Payment
Date occurring in August, 2005, Borrower shall make payments into the Tax and
Insurance Escrow Funds as set forth in the preceding paragraph.
(c) Borrower shall be relieved
of its obligation to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds under
Section 7.2 above, provided that
(i) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to a
tax escrow account under the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) Lender receives
evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of
all such Taxes.
Section
7.3 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
7.4 Rollover
Reserve Funds.
In
the event that Rollover Reserve Funds (as defined the Mortgage Loan Agreement)
are transferred to Lender pursuant to Section
7.7 of
this Agreement or Section 3.1(b) of the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement, the
amounts so transferred shall be held and disbursed by Lender and Borrower shall
make additional contributions to the Rollover Reserve Funds in accordance with
the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as in effect on
the Closing Date, whether on not the Mortgage Loan Agreement has been
terminated. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as
“Rollover Reserve
Funds” and the account in which
such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve
Account”.
Section
7.5 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Reserve Funds.
In
the event that Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Reserve Funds (as defined the Mortgage Loan
Agreement) are transferred to Lender pursuant to Section
7.7 of
this Agreement or Section 3.1(b) of the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement, the
amounts so transferred shall be held and disbursed by Lender and Borrower shall
make additional contributions to the Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Reserve Funds in accordance
with the provisions of Section 7.5 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as in effect
on the Closing Date, whether on not the Mortgage Loan Agreement has been
terminated, provided, however, that for purposes of
such Section 7.5, the term “Excess Cash Flow” used therein shall mean Excess
Cash Flow as defined in this Agreement. All such amounts so deposited shall
hereinafter be referred to as “Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Reserve
Funds” and the account in which
such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Reserve Account”.
Section
7.6 Reserve Funds,
Generally.
(a) Borrower
grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the
Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each reserve
account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or
applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional
security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may,
in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply
any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the
Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute
trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b) Borrower shall not,
without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant
any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or
permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
thereon, or any
77
UCC-1
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be
filed with respect thereto.
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be
held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate
selected by Lender. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, all interest or other earnings on any of the Reserve Funds (with the
exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, which shall belong to Lender)
shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed
in the same manner as other monies comprising such Reserve Funds. Borrower shall have the
right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in
Permitted Investments provided that (i) such
investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size,
category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable
federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity
date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the
applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which
such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any
federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income
earned on the Reserve Funds. No other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be
permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.6. Borrower shall bear all
reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in
Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings
on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not
be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly
on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return
earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted
Investments.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify
Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits,
claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable
attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the
Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds
were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower
may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which
are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not
pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and
remains uncured.
Section
7.7 Transfer of
Reserve Funds Under Mortgage Loan. If Mortgage Lender
waives any reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of
the Mortgage Loan Agreement which reserves or escrow accounts are also required
in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, or if the Mortgage Loan
is refinanced or paid off in full (without a prepayment of the Loan) and Reserve
Funds that are required hereunder are not required under the new mortgage loan,
if any, then Borrower shall cause any amounts that would have been deposited
into any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement to be transferred to and deposited with Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Article VII (and Borrower shall enter
into a cash management and lockbox agreement for the benefit of Lender
substantially similar to the arrangement entered into between Mortgage Borrower
and Mortgage Lender at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan), and, if
any letters of credit have been substituted by Mortgage Borrower for any such
reserves or
78
escrows as may be
specifically permitted by the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then Borrower shall also
cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Lender to be held by Lender
upon the same terms and provisions as set forth in the Mortgage Loan
Agreement.

Section
8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or
applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any
time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be
declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any
foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and
remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the
Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent
and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an
Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
(i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of
remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or
privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender
has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has
been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt
or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) With respect to Borrower
and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall
be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of
81
the
Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority
to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of
all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect
of the Debt. Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially
foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the
Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole
discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:
(i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in
the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender
may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments or
(ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire
Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to
recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate
and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect.
Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain
subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment
of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not
previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the
right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one
or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan
Documents”) in such denominations
as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and
enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. 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 the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its
said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or
execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice
has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights
under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization
pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower
shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with
the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents,
and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations,
warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such
representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be
given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Any amounts recovered from
the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the
payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts
due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender
in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) 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 or being deemed to have cured
any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower
hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary.
Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender 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’
82
fees
to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.2, 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 such
cost or expense was incurred into 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
therefore.
(f) The rights, powers and
remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of
any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity
or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may
determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any
remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such
remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such
remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be
deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to
Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or
Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.
(g) For the purpose of
carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges
granted in this Section 8.2, Borrower hereby
irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender 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 subsection in the name and on behalf of
Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot
be revoked.

83
the
Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of
independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating

(ii) assist in preparing

documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating
Agencies;
(iv) if required by any Rating
Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant

agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination
agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and
the Rating Agencies;
(v) make such representations
and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the
Collateral, Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, Mortgage Borrower, the Property and
the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating

warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and
warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(vi) execute such amendments to
the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to
effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to
replace the original Note or modify the original Note, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new
notes or modified Note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of
the original Note and provide for the same total amortization payments, but each
such new notes or modified Note may have different interest rates and provide
for varying amortization payments), and modify the Cash Management Agreement
with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and
marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the
rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most
favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not
be required to modify any of the Loan Documents if such modification or
amendment would (i) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrower or (ii)
modify or amend the Loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the
Loan or otherwise materially adversely increase the obligations or materially
decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, events of default, or
remedy provisions, or the organizational documents of Borrower or its
Affiliates;
84
(vii) if requested by Lender,
review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Principal, Guarantor,
Manager, the Sub-Manager, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral and the Loan which
is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus,
prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof),
or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof;
and
(viii) supply to Lender such
documentation, financial statements and reports as may be in the possession or
control of Borrower or its Affiliates in form and substance required in order to
comply with any applicable securities laws.
(b) All reasonable third party
costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower complying
with requests made under this Section
9.1
(including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies)
shall be paid by Borrower, except that Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all
such costs and expenses in excess of $25,000.00.
Section
9.2 Securitization
Indemnification. (a) Borrower
understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in
Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be
included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), or the Securities and
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”), or provided or made
available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating
Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event
that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all
Securities, 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) The Indemnifying Persons
agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification
agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully
examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents regarding the Property,
Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan (to the extent such information relates to or
includes any Provided Information) (collectively with the Provided Information,
the “Covered
Disclosure Information”) and (B) that the Covered
Disclosure Information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
(ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has
filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as
the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of
Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of
Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement
agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and
each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees,
representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls
any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified
Person” and
collectively, the “Indemnified
Persons”), for any losses,
claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation,
legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the
“Liabilities”) to which any such
Indemnified Person may become
85
subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Disclosure
Documents, but only to the extent based upon Provided Information, and which
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to
Lender by Borrower after Borrower has had an opportunity to review the
Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided
Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any
legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are
incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may
otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and
(iii) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification
agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
(c) In connection with filings
under the Exchange Act, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to
indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such
Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact in the Provided Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state
in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and which
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to
Lender by Borrower after Borrower has had an opportunity to review such filing
under the Exchange Act, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any
reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they
are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the
Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by
an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action,
the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of
the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to
notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it
may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that
it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided
further
that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from
any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under
the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or
action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any
Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to
participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense
thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After
notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to
assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not
be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except
as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in
any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or
more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have
reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or
other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available
to the Indemnifying
86
Person, the Indemnified
Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall
instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees
and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement
hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to
substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to
the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder
to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for
the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified
Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses
available to it that are different from or additional to those available to
another Indemnified Person.
(e) Without the prior consent
of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying
Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person
is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding)
unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable prior notice
thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified
Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or
proceeding. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations
to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable
for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such
Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld).
(f) The Indemnifying Persons
agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this
Section 9.2 is finally judicially
determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any
Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the
subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying
Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall
contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is
held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the
one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions
to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the
allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying
Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as
well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Section 9.2, (A) no party found
liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from
any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent
misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event
shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively
pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting
discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in
connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(g) The Indemnifying Persons
agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set
forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or
not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other
proceedings. The
87
Indemnifying Persons
further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party
beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h) The rights, liabilities
and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under
this Section 9.2 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the
Debt.
(i) Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as
depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to
the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section
9.3 Intentionally
Omitted.
Section
9.4 Exculpation.
Subject to the
qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of
Borrower (or any of Borrower’s members, managers, partners, shareholders, or
Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, collectively, the “Borrower
Parties”) to perform and observe
the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or
the other 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 under the
Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other 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 or the Borrower Parties only to the extent
of Borrower’s or the Borrower Parties’ interest in the Collateral and in any
other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this
Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it
shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or
the Borrower Parties in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or
in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the other
Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however,
(a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced
or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to
name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and
sale under the Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity or enforceability
of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and
remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (e) constitute a prohibition against Lender to
seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the
security granted by the Pledge Agreement or to commence any other appropriate
action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the
Collateral; (f) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases and
Rents; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the
extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other
obligation incurred by Lender (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees
and costs reasonably incurred), arising out of or in connection with the
following:
(i) fraud or intentional
misrepresentation by Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the Loan,
including by reason of any claim under RICO;
88
(ii) the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or any
other Restricted Party;
(iii) the breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the
Environmental Indemnity concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances or
asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in any Loan
Document;
(iv) wrongful removal or
destruction by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, of any portion of the
Property or the Collateral after the occurrence of an Event of Default or any
intentional physical waste of the Property by Borrower of any Affiliate thereof,
provided, however, that such physical waste
shall exclude wear and tear to the Property that occurs in the ordinary course
of business of the Property;
(v) any Legal Requirement
(including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of
the Property or the Collateral, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct
or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Restricted Party in
connection therewith;
(vi) any misrepresentation,
miscertification or breach of warranty by Borrower or Guarantor with respect to
any representation, warranty or certification contained in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or in any document executed in connection therewith,
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise to induce Lender to make the
Loan, or any advance thereof, or to release monies from any account held by
Lender (including any reserve or escrow) or to take other action with respect to
the Collateral (as defined in the Mortgage);
(vii) the misappropriation or
conversion by Borrower or Mortgage Borrower of (A) any Net Liquidation
Proceeds or Insurance Proceeds, (B) any Awards received in connection with
a Condemnation, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default or any Rents
paid more than one (1) month in advance; or (D) any distribution or other
payments made in connection with any part of the Collateral provided such
amounts are not applied to the payment of the Loan or the Operating Expenses of
the Property;
(viii) failure to pay charges for
labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the
Property that are superior to the Lien of the Mortgage, unless such charges are
being contested in accordance herewith;
(ix) any security deposits,
advance deposits or any other deposits collected by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower
or any Affiliate thereof with respect to the Property which are not delivered to
Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to
the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms
and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of
Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(x) any breach of any
representation, warrant or covenant contained in Section 3 of the Pledge
Agreement;
89
(xi) if Borrower or Mortgage

applicable notice and/or cure period contained therein, if the Vacant Space

provided in Section
3.1.19
hereof), without Lender’s prior written consent or if the Vacant Space Master
Lease shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered (except as specified
in Section
3.1.19
hereof) without Lender’s prior written consent, or if the Operating Partnership
is the subject of a Bankruptcy Action, other than an involuntary Bankruptcy
Action which is dismissed within ninety (90) days.
Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents,
(A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may
have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the

answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary
petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any
other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to
be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person;

joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee,

for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal

there is a substantive consolidation of Borrower or Mortgage Borrower with any
other Person; (4) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any

shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace

Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and
agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager together with the

At
the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the
“Servicer”) selected by Lender and
Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing
agreement (the “Servicing
Agreement”) between Lender and
Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other
initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement or for the

Agreement.
Section
9.7 Restructuring
of Loan.
At
any time prior to the Securitization of the entire Loan, Lender, without in any
way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure
the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior
and junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which
restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan to the
Mortgage Loan or the New Mezzanine Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the
Loan to either the Mortgage Loan or an additional mezzanine loan (the
“New
Mezzanine Loan”) to the owners of the
equity interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, and/or the
reallocation of a portion of the Mortgage Loan to the Loan and/or the New
Mezzanine Loan or the establishment of different interest rates, floor interest

provided, that (i) the total amounts of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New
Mezzanine Loan shall equal the amount of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan
immediately prior to the restructuring and the economic terms of the Loan, the
Mezzanine Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall be the same as the economic
terms of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan prior to such Restructuring, (ii) except
in the case of an Event of Default under the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and/or the
New Mezzanine Loan, the weighted average interest rate of the Loan, the Mortgage
Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, at the time of the
restructuring, equal the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the
Mortgage Loan, and (iii) except in the case of an Event of Default or a
prepayment of the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and/or the New Mezzanine Loan, the
debt service payments on the Loan, the Mortgage Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan
shall equal the debt service payments which would have been payable under the
Loan and the Mortgage Loan had the restructuring not occurred. Borrower shall
cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the
Loan and the Mortgage Loan and create a New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and
shall, upon ten (10) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice
shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution
and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents, including, without
limitation in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine
loan agreement, a pledge and security
91

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

subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
95
preferential, set aside or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to
the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or
part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full
force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by
Lender.
Section
10.9 Waiver of
Notice.
Borrower hereby expressly
waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from
Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan

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.
Section
10.10 Remedies of
Borrower.
In
the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have
acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the
case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees
that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and
Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking
injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any
action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be
determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section
10.11 Expenses;
Indemnity.
(a) Borrower
covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender
upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in
connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all
opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions
reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property);
(ii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with
Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the
Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with
environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) except as expressly
provided under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender’s
ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or
complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) except as expressly provided
under the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the negotiation,
preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments,
waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents
and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing
Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) the filing and recording fees
and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for
providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses
incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to
this
96
Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in
response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or
proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting
Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other
security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any Obligations of or
collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing
or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the
nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings;
provided, however, that Borrower shall not
be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same
arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first
occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to the Collateral or the
Property. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any
amounts in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims,
costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including,
without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender
in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding
commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party
thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any
manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its
Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in,
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use
of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified
Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not
have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified
Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first
occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to the Collateral or the
Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it
violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that
it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and
satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and
agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any
fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating
Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated
thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such
Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees
and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent,
approval, waiver or confirmation.

Incorporated.
The
Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this
Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section
10.13 Offsets,
Counterclaims and Defenses.
Any
assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other
Loan Documents shall take the
97
same
free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to
such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such
documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or
asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee
upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated
offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby
expressly waived by Borrower.
Section
10.14 No Joint
Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower
and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other
Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein
is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint
tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender or to grant Lender any interest
in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or
lender.
(b) This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and
nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or
to enforce the performance or observance of any of the Obligations contained
herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan
hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no
other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in
accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to
make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no
other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such
conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by
Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable
to do so.
Section
10.15 Publicity.
All
news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through
any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan
Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, or to any
of their Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of
Lender.
Section
10.16 Waiver of
Marshalling of Assets.
To
the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and
assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower,
Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property,
or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the
Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the
marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead
exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters
whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan
Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any
prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the
payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to
every other claimant whatsoever.
Section
10.17 Waiver of
Counterclaim.
Borrower hereby waives the
right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any
action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
98
Section
10.18 Conflict;
Construction of Documents; Reliance.
In
the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of
the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The
parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in
connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents
and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that,
with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and
advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any
statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent,
subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any
of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the
Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of
Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on
the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights
or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real
estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may
be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its
Affiliates.
Section
10.19 Brokers and
Financial Advisors.
Borrower hereby represents
that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement
agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender
harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of
any kind (including, without limitation, Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses)
in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person
acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions
contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the
expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Debt.
Section
10.20 Prior
Agreements.
This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether
oral or written, including, without limitation, the Floating Rate CMBS Term
Sheet dated February 26, 2005 between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the
terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section
10.21 Certain
Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).
Notwithstanding anything
that may be contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Lender shall
have:
(a) the right to routinely
consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities
and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that
such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance
programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur
at Lender’s request on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with
Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and
upon reasonable advance notice;
99
(b) the right, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower

property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of
the Property);
(d) the right, in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11
hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including
balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a
management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
The
rights described above may be exercised by any entity that owns and controls,
directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in
Lender.
Section
10.22 Intercreditor
Agreement. Borrower hereby
acknowledges and agrees that any intercreditor agreement entered into between
Lender and Mortgage Lender will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage
Lender, and that neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower shall be intended
third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, shall have no rights
thereunder 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 and will be independent of such intercreditor agreement and shall
remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
