LIBOR-based Loans may be Converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans unless
Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.9(5) and (c) subject to

(1) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (which may be Base Rate Loans and/or
LIBOR-based Loans) made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to
but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum (the
“Applicable Interest Rate”):
(a) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin; and
34
(b) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR-based Loan, for each Interest Period relating
thereto, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable
Margin.
(2) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on each Payment Date
and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof (but only on the principal
amount so paid or prepaid), except that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from

(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and
during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for
the account of each Lender interest at the applicable Default Rate on the outstanding principal
amount of any Loan made by such Lender, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and on any
other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and any other Loan Documents.
(4) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change
therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is
payable and to Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not
affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.

Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of two
percent (2%) of (i) any payments of principal under the Loans made and payable after the due date
thereof, and (ii) any payments of interest or other sums under the Loans made more than five (5)
days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment
or upon demand by Administrative Agent. Such late payment charge represents the reasonable
estimate of Borrower and the Lenders of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be
sustained by the Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Such late charge
shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any
other amounts provided herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to exercise any other
rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, with respect to any sums on which the Lenders are entitled to
receive Default Interest, Lenders shall not be entitled to receive a late payment premium on
such sums.
Section 2.4 Terms of Payment. The Loans shall be payable as follows:
(1) Interest. Beginning with the Payment Date occurring in August, 2008, Borrower shall pay
interest in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set
forth in Schedule 2.4(1) hereto (or such other instructions as Administrative Agent may
from time to time provide) until all amounts due under the Loan Documents are paid in full.
Borrower shall aggregate the payments due under all outstanding Loans to all Lenders and make a
single payment to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date.
(2) Principal Amortization. Prior to the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall not be
required to pay amortization on the Loans. During each Extension Period, in the
35
event the Debt
Service Coverage Ratio for any calendar quarter, calculated on a trailing twelve (12) month basis,
is equal to or less than 1.5 to 1.00 (a “DSCR Amortization Event”), Borrower shall pay to
Administrative Agent on each Payment Date occurring during the continuance of such DSCR
Amortization Event, in addition to the interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, an amount equal to
the Extension Period Principal Payment Amount, which amount shall be applied by Administrative
Agent, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to reduce
the outstanding principal amount of the Loans pro rata.
(3) Maturity. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (on behalf of
the Lenders) all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due
under the Loan Documents.
(4) Optional Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and
2.9(5), Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium
or penalty; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each
such prepayment as provided in Section 2.8(5) (and, upon the date specified in any such
notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder), (b)
Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, and (c) partial
prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.8(1)(b) and shall be in the minimum
aggregate principal amounts specified in Section 2.8(4) or, if such prepayment is in
connection with a Partial Release pursuant to Section 2.6, the amount prepaid shall not be
less than the applicable Partial Release Price. Loans that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, any
optional prepayment of the Loans made in accordance with or as
required by the Required Reserve Account shall be
applied as set forth in the Required Reserve Account Agreement.
(5) Mandatory Prepayments.
(a) If a Casualty or Condemnation shall occur with respect to any Individual Property,
Borrower, upon Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable
Insurance Proceeds or Award, shall, unless Administrative Agent makes the Insurance Proceeds
or Award available for a Restoration in accordance with Section 3.2, prepay the Loan, if
required by the provisions of Article 3, on the dates and in the amounts specified therein
(but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and 2.9(5)). In the event that
the application of a prepayment made in connection with this Section 2.4(5) would result in
Breakage Costs, provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred, such prepayment shall be
held by Administrative Agent in an interest bearing account (the “Prepayment Account”)
owned by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Sums held in the Prepayment Account shall
be invested in Permitted Investments directed by (i) Borrower, if no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, or (ii) Administrative Agent, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, and shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as Administrative
Agent shall determine will result in the least amount of Breakage Costs. Provided that no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest on the Prepayment Account shall be paid
to Borrower and Borrower shall pay all taxes thereon. Borrower shall be liable for any losses
incurred in connection with funds held in the Prepayment Account to the extent that it is entitled
36
to direct the investments of such funds in the Prepayment Account. None of Administrative Agent or
the Lenders shall be liable to Borrower for any loss or reinvestment income on amounts invested.
Nothing in this Section 2.4(5) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under
the Mortgage or any other Security Document, including any obligation to deliver to Administrative
Agent pursuant to the Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents the Insurance Proceeds, Award
or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation. No Prepayment Fee shall
be due and payable in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(5)(a).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the aggregate
outstanding principal balance of the Loans is less than $250,000,000, then Borrower, on the first
Payment Date following demand by Administrative Agent, shall pay the outstanding principal balance
of the Loans, applicable Breakage Costs, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and all other
amounts due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
(6) Interest and Other Charges on Prepayment. If the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part,
pursuant to Section 2.4(4) or 2.4(5), each such prepayment shall be made on the
prepayment date specified in the notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8(5),
and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount
prepaid and (b) any of the Breakage Costs payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(5) as
a result of such prepayment while an Adjusted LIBOR Rate is in effect; provided,
however, that any such prepayment shall be applied first, to the prepayment of any
portions of the outstanding principal amount that are Base Rate Loans and, second, to the
prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are LIBOR-based Loans applying
such sums first to LIBOR-based Loans of the shortest maturity so as to minimize Breakage Costs;
provided further, however, that if an Event of Default exists,
Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders for application in such manner as
it or the Majority Lenders, subject to Section 2.8(2), may determine to be appropriate.
(7) Application of Payments. Subject to the terms hereof, including Section 2.4(6) above, all
payments received by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be applied: first, to any
fees and expenses due to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the
Loan Documents, including but not limited to Breakage Costs; second, to any Default Rate
interest or late charges; third, to accrued and unpaid interest; and fourth, to the principal sum
and other amounts due under the Loan Documents in the order set forth in Section 2.8(6);
provided, however, that, if an Event of Default exists Administrative Agent shall
apply such payments in any order or manner as Administrative Agent shall determine.

any Hazardous Substance or the risk of contamination from any off-site Hazardous Substance, such
report shall include an estimate of the cost of any related remediation and the applicable Borrower
shall either (A) deposit with Lender an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
such estimated cost in excess of the Alteration Threshold or (B) if the cost of remediation is
greater than the Alteration Threshold, cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent an indemnity
agreement substantially similar to the Alterations Indemnity from an Acceptable Indemnitor in the
face amount of such excess of the cost of remediation over the Alteration Threshold, which deposit
or indemnity agreement shall constitute additional security for the Loans and shall be released to
the applicable Borrower upon the delivery to Administrative Agent of (1) an update reasonably
acceptable to Administrative Agent to such report indicating that there is no longer any Hazardous
Substance on the applicable Anchor Parcel except for nominal amounts of such substances commonly
incorporated in or used in the operation of properties similar to the applicable Anchor Parcel (in
either case in compliance with all Environmental Laws) or any danger of contamination from any
off-site Hazardous Substance
49
that has not been fully remediated and (2) paid receipts indicating that the costs of all such
remediation work have been paid;
(k) in the event that the applicable Anchor Parcel is improved (other than by landscaping,
surface parking or utility facilities), a Physical Conditions Report with respect the applicable
Anchor Parcel indicating that the applicable Anchor Parcel is in good condition and repair and free
of damage or waste unless the applicable Borrower certifies to Lender that the applicable Borrower
intends to demolish such improvements, if any, on the applicable Anchor Parcel, within one (1) year
of acquisition in which event the applicable Borrower shall provide an asbestos survey of the
applicable Anchor Parcel and a Physical Conditions Report shall not be required. If the Physical
Conditions Report recommends that any repairs be made with respect to the applicable Anchor Parcel,
such Physical Conditions Report shall include an estimate of the cost of such recommended repairs
and the applicable Borrower shall covenant to perform such repairs in timely manner (subject to
Force Majeure) and if the cost of such repairs is estimated by the Physical Conditions Report to
exceed the Alteration Threshold the applicable Borrower shall either (A) deposit with
Administrative Agent an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of such estimated
cost in excess of the Alteration Threshold or (B) if the cost of such recommended repairs is
greater than the Alteration Threshold, cause to be delivered to Administrative Agent an indemnity
agreement from an Acceptable Indemnitor in the face amount of such repairs over the Alteration
Threshold, which deposit or indemnity shall constitute additional security for the Loans and shall
be released to the applicable Borrower upon the delivery to Administrative Agent of (A) an update
to such Physical Conditions Report or a letter reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent from
the engineer that prepared such Physical Conditions Report indicating that the recommended repairs
were completed in good manner and (B) paid receipts indicating that the costs of all such repairs
have been paid;
(l) Administrative Agent shall have received either a title insurance policy or an Endorsement
reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (or a marked, signed and redated commitment to issue
such endorsement or policy reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent) insuring the Lien of the
Substitute Mortgage as a first mortgage lien on the applicable Acquired Anchor Parcel dated as of
the Acquisition Date, providing coverage in the amount of the Loans, free and clear of all
exceptions (including past due and unpaid real estate taxes) from coverage other than Permitted
Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any
endorsements), and containing such legally available endorsements and affirmative coverages as are
legally available with respect to the applicable Acquired Anchor Parcel similar to such
endorsements and affirmative coverages with respect to the applicable Individual Property.
Administrative Agent also shall have received copies of paid receipts showing that all costs of or
premiums for such endorsements and title insurance policies have been paid;
(m) Administrative Agent shall have received evidence reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent that the applicable Acquired Anchor Parcel constitutes one or more separate tax lots or that
the applicable Borrower has taken all action required under applicable law to have the applicable
Acquired Anchor Parcel designated as a separate tax lot;
(n) if the Acquired Anchor Parcel is acquired by the applicable Borrower pursuant to a ground
lease, the ground lease shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative
50
Agent and the applicable Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders an estoppel letter from the ground lessor in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent;
(o) the applicable Borrower shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with the acquisition of the applicable Acquired
Anchor Parcel, and the applicable Borrower shall have paid all recording charges, filing fees,
taxes or other similar expenses (including, without limitation, mortgage and intangibles taxes and
documentary stamp taxes) payable in connection with the transaction described in this Section
2.6(5);
(p) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for such Individual Property, calculated using the Net
Operating Income (determined on a forecasted basis taking into account the completion and leasing

Service Coverage Ratio for such Individual Property prior to the acquisition of the Acquired Anchor
Parcel; and
(q) Administrative shall have consented to the acquisition of such Acquired Anchor Parcel,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
The applicable Borrower may obtain the release of the applicable Acquired Anchor Parcel in

Section 2.7 Cash Management.
(1) Each Borrower shall cause all Rents from its applicable Individual Property to be
deposited into the applicable Lockbox Account pursuant to the applicable Lockbox Agreement and the
Cash Management Agreement, and Borrower shall, and, if there is a Manager, shall cause the Manager,
to, (a) deliver written instructions (which instructions may be contained in the applicable Lease
and which instructions shall be irrevocable by Borrower, unless Administrative Agent shall have
otherwise agreed, until Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Loans have been satisfied, to
all tenants under Leases (but not including Seasonal Leases)) to deliver all Rents or other revenue
payable thereunder or otherwise derived from its applicable Individual Property directly to the
applicable Lockbox Account (to the extent that any such tenants have already been directed to so
deliver their respective Rents, no further instructions will be required), and (b) deposit all
amounts received by Borrower or by the Manager, if applicable, on Borrower’s behalf, constituting
Rents or other revenue of any kind from its applicable Individual Property into the applicable
Lockbox Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt thereof (including, without limitation,
Rents under Seasonal Leases). Disbursements from the applicable Lockbox Account will be made in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the applicable Lockbox Agreement and
the Cash Management Agreement. Administrative Agent shall have the sole dominion and control over
the Lockbox Account and, except as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement or in this Agreement,
Borrower shall have no rights to make withdrawals therefrom.
51
(2) Prior to the occurrence of, and after the cure or cessation of, a Trigger Event (of which
Administrative Agent shall provide written notice to Lockbox Bank, Cash Management Agent and
Borrower Representative), each Borrower shall have the right (the “Borrower’s Direction
Right”) to receive funds in the applicable Lockbox Account free and clear of Agent’s interest
therein; provided, however, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Trigger Event, Borrower’s Direction Right shall be suspended. Administrative Agent shall promptly,
upon a Cure Event, notify applicable Lockbox Bank and Cash Management Agent that Borrower’s
Direction Right has been reinstated and Borrower may receive and withdraw all funds from the
Lockbox Account.
(3) Every Business Day from and after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger
Event (of which Administrative Agent shall provide notice in writing to Lockbox Bank, Cash
Management Agent and Borrower Representative), Lockbox Bank shall transfer to the Cash Management
Account all funds available in the Lockbox Account; the funds transferred to the Cash Management
Account shall be applied by Deposit Bank as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement.
(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, and provided no Event of Default exists, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the
monthly payment of interest and principal (if any) and the deposits to be made into the Security
Accounts and any other payment due pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be
deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account and
are unconditionally available to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) to satisfy such
obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement on the
dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by
Administrative Agent.
(5) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Lockbox Account or the Cash Management
Account (or any sub-account thereunder) shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any
payments as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such
obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance
whatsoever.
Section 2.8 Payments; Pro Rata Treatment; Etc.
(1) Payments Generally.
(a) Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of
principal, interest and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes,
and, except to the extent otherwise provided therein, all payments to be made by Borrower under any
other Loan Document, shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction,
set-off or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at an account designated by Administrative Agent
by notice to Borrower, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date on which such
payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to
have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).
52
(b) Application of Payments. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.4(7), Borrower
shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any Note for the account of any
Lender, specify to Administrative Agent (which shall so notify the intended recipient(s) thereof)
the Loans or other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied
(and in the event that Borrower fails to so specify, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Administrative Agent shall apply such payment to the amounts of such obligation owing
to Lenders pro rata according to the respective amounts then due and owing to Lenders, subject to
Section 2.8(2) and any other agreement among Administrative Agent and the Lenders with
respect to such application).
(c) Forwarding of Payments by Administrative Agent. Except as otherwise agreed by
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each payment received by Administrative Agent under this
Agreement or any Note for account of any Lender shall be paid by Administrative Agent promptly to
such Lender, in immediately available funds, for account of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office
for the Loans or other obligation in respect of which such payment is made.
(d) Extensions to Next Business Day. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or
any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to
the next succeeding Business Day, and, solely with respect to the payment due on the Maturity Date,
interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.
(2) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each advance of
a Loan from the Lenders under Section 2.1(1) shall be made from the Lenders, and any
termination of the obligation to make an advance of the Loans shall be applied to the respective
Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments;
(b) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(4), Loans shall be allocated pro rata among
the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of
Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions or Continuations of Loans); (c) except
as provided in Section 2.4(4), each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall
be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal
amounts of the Loans held by them; and (d) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be
made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans
then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
(3) Computations. Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days
and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the
period for which payable.
(4) Minimum Amounts. Except for (a) mandatory prepayments made pursuant to
Section 2.4(5) and (b) Conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.9(4),
each borrowing, Conversion, Continuation and partial prepayment of principal (collectively,
“Loan Transactions”) of Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of no less than $5,000,000
(Loan Transactions of or into Loans of different Types or Interest Periods at the same time
hereunder shall be deemed separate Loan Transactions for purposes of the foregoing, one for
53
each Type or Interest Period); provided that if any Loans or borrowings would
otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans
during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount of $5,000,000 shall not
apply to Conversions of lesser amounts into a tranche of Loans that has (or will have upon such
Conversion) an aggregate principal amount exceeding such minimum amount and one Interest Period.
(5) Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to Administrative Agent regarding Loan Transactions
and the selection of Types of Loans and/or of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable
as of, and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent not later than, 2:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan
Transaction or the first day of such Interest Period specified below:
|
|
|
|
|
Notice: |

Number of Business
Days Prior: |

Conversions into, Continuations as,
or borrowings in Base Rate Loans |

|
Conversions into, Continuations as,
borrowings in or changes in duration
of Interest Period for, LIBOR-based
Loans (subject to Section 2.4(6)(a)) |
|
|
3 |
|
Each such notice of a Loan Transaction shall specify the amount (subject to Section
2.8(4)), Type, and Interest Period of such proposed Loan Transaction, and the date (which shall
be a Business Day) of such proposed Loan Transaction. Notices for Conversions and Continuations
shall be in the form of Exhibit E. Each such notice specifying the duration of an Interest
Period shall specify the portion of the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate.
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. If
Borrower fails to select (i) the Type of Loan or (ii) the duration of any Interest Period for any
LIBOR-based Loan within the time period (i.e., three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of
the next applicable Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.8(5), such
Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically Continued as an LIBOR-based Loan with
an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan
or, if outstanding as an Base Rate Loan, will remain as a Base Rate Loan.
(6) Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been
notified by a Lender or Borrower (in either case, the “Payor”) prior to the date on which
the Payor is to make payment to Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a
Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to Administrative
Agent for account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being herein called the
“Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not
intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that
the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be
required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date,
provided, however, that if the Payor is a Lender,
54
Administrative Agent shall provide notice to Borrower of the advance of the Required Payment
on or prior to the Advance Date and Borrower shall have the right to consent to the same; and, if
the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of
such payment shall, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so made available together
with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the
“Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date
Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Federal Funds Rate
for such day in the case of payments returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b)
the Applicable Interest Rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to
Administrative Agent (except to the extent actually paid by Borrower on the applicable Payment
Date) and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as
aforesaid; provided that or if such payment is not made within three (3) Business Days of
demand:
(a) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders,
the recipient Lenders shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in
respect of the Required Payment at the rate set forth above (without offset due to any interest
paid by Borrower), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment
to Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to
pay interest at the rate set forth above in respect of the Required Payment until Borrower makes
the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, and
(b) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to
Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest at the
Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, it being understood that the return by Borrower of
the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against
the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.
(7) Sharing of Payments, Etc.
(a) Right of Set-off. Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any
right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, (subject, as among the
Lenders, to Section 12.26), each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest
extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), or other Indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of Borrower at
any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on
any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid
when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other Indebtedness is then due to Borrower), in
which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof, provided
that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
(b) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest
on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) of any
right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from
Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment,
55
such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the
Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the
percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders
participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the
Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon,
as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of
any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment)
pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other
amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make
appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if
such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
(c) Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation
(or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) all
rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation
as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be)
owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
(d) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to
exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the
benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of
Borrower. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender
receives a secured claim in lieu of a set-off to which this Section 2.8(7) applies, such
Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a
manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.8(7) to
share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
Section 2.9 Yield Protection; Etc.
(1) Additional Costs.
(a) Costs of Making or Maintaining LIBOR-based Loans. Borrower shall pay directly to each
Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may in good faith determine to be necessary to
compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or
maintaining of any LIBOR-based Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR-based Loans hereunder, or
any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or
such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called
“Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(i) without duplication of amounts described by Section 2.9(6)(a)
hereof, shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such
Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or
changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this
Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate
of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable
56
Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal
office or such Applicable Lending Office); or
(ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements
(other than the Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR
Rate for any Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or
other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender
(including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the
definition of “LIBOR Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without
limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or
(iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any
of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.
Subject to Section 2.9(7), if any Lender requests compensation from Borrower of Additional
Costs under this paragraph (a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to
Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue
LIBOR-based Loans, or to Convert Loans into LIBOR-based Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving
rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4)
shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such
Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
(b) Costs Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. Without
limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9(1) (but without
duplication) and without limitation of Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.9(7),
Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender
may in good faith determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the
bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are
attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank
holding company), pursuant to any Applicable Law or any interpretation, directive or request
(whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be
unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or
(ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the
force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued
by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the
Basle Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans, such compensation to include,
without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of
such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that
which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have
achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request.
(c) Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring
after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 2.9(1) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days, after
such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any
57
Lender fails to give such notice within sixty (60) days after it obtains actual knowledge of
such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this
Section 2.9(1) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to
payment under this Section 2.9(1) for costs incurred from and after the date forty-five
(45) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will
designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event
if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will
not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender
shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of
America. Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of
each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 2.9(1). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this
Section 2.9(1) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.9(1), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this
Section 2.9(1), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to
make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to
compensate such Lender under this Section 2.9(1), shall be conclusive, provided
that such determinations and allocations are absent manifest error and made on a reasonable basis.
(2) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or
prior to the determination of the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan:
(a) Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations
of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate are not
being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining
rates of interest for LIBOR-based Loans as provided herein; or
(b) the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify
Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR
Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period is
to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or
maintaining LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as
such condition remains in effect, the Lenders subject to Section 2.9(7) shall be under no
obligation to make additional LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based Loans or to Convert Loans
of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then
current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such
Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
(3) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it
becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or
maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a
different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be
disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a
copy to Administrative Agent) and, subject to Section 2.9(7)
58
such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into,
LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain
LIBOR-based Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable).
(4) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or
to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into
Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the
case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3), on such
earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower (but not earlier than the date of such notice
or the date required by the applicable law giving rise to a circumstance described in
Section 2.9(3)) with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender
gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(2)
or 2.9(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and
prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied
instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR-based Loans
shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would
otherwise be Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances
specified in Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to the Conversion of such
Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(4) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to
do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR-based Loans made by
other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted
effective as of the date such circumstances cease to exist, on the first day(s) of the next
succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, to the extent necessary so
that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans are allocated among
the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitments.
(5) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon
the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be
sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any actual loss, cost or
expense (collectively, “Breakage Costs”) that such Lender determines is attributable to:
(a) any re-payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by such Lender for any
reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative
Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day
of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
59
(b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan from such Lender on
the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to Administrative
Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the
principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such
payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest
Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan
that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of
interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would
have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the
amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading
banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period
(as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the
equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 Page
(formerly operated as Page 3750 of the Dow Xxxxx Markets Service (Telerate)) or other publicly
available source as described in the definition of LIBOR Rate.
(6) U.S. Taxes.
(a) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to each
Lender that is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net
payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in
respect of any U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such
U.S. Taxes by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due
and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall
not apply:
(i) to any payment to any Lender hereunder unless such Lender is, on the date
hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder as provided in
Section 12.24(2)) and on the date of any change in the Applicable Lending
Office of such Lender, either entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to such
Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to
be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all
interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or
(ii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non-U.S.
Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other
reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such
compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a
precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes.
60
For the purposes hereof, the provisions of Section 12.24(f) shall be applicable and
(A) “U.S. Person” means a citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a
corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity created or organized in or
under any laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is
subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B) “U.S. Taxes”
means any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the
United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (C) “Form W-8BEN”
means Form W-8BEN of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America and
(D) “Form W-8ECI” means Form W-8ECI of the Department of the Treasury of the United States
of America. Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such
successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities
of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates.
(b) Evidence of Deduction, Etc. Within thirty (30) days after paying any amount to
Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or
withholding, and within thirty (30) days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or
withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative
Agent for delivery to such non-U.S. Person evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction,
withholding or payment (as the case may be).
(7) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to
Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type,
or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to
Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) (any such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose
obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Borrower, upon
three (3) Business Days notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right,
title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other
financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Borrower that is reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the
obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s
Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such
Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the
extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting
Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date
of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any Breakage Costs that would be payable
under Section 2.9(5) as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full
on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to
Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation,
if any, pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) with respect to such Requesting
Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Subject to the provisions of
Section 12.24(2), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder.
Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of
Borrower contained in Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(6) and 12.5 (without duplication
of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive
for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.9(7) with respect to the
time prior to such replacement.
61
Section 2.10 Agency Fee. Until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the
Agency Fee in accordance with the Fee Letter.
Section 2.11 Offsets, etc. Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim,
other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Administrative Agent or Lenders or their agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the
payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Administrative Agent or Lenders to perform
any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any
payments which any Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Any assignee of
Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are
unrelated to such documents which any Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such
documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any
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.

earlier of (i) payment in full of the Debt or (ii) release of the applicable Individual Property
from the lien of the applicable Mortgage, Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be
maintained Policies providing at least the following coverages:
(a) comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property at such
Individual Property, in each case (i) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,”
which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value of the applicable
Individual Property (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and
footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (ii) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect
to the Improvements and Personal Property at such Individual Property waiving all co insurance
provisions; (iii) providing for no deductible in excess of the Maximum Deductible; and (iv)
providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and
Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or
“Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of such Individual Property shall
at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The Full Replacement Cost of the
applicable Individual Property shall be redetermined from time to time but not more frequently than
once in any thirty-six (36) calendar months at the request and at the cost of the Administrative
Agent (provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the cost of any appraisal obtained in
connection with the First Extension and any appraisal obtained by Administrative Agent during the
continuance of an Event of Default) by an appraiser or contractor designated by Borrower and
approved by Administrative Agent, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the
insurer. After
62
the first Appraisal, additional Appraisals may be based on construction cost indices
customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Administrative Agent to request any
such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Section
3.1(1)(a);
(b) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury,
death or property damage occurring upon, in or about each Individual Property, such insurance (i)
to be on the so called “occurrence” form with a combined single limit of not less than ONE MILLION
AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000) per occurrence and TWO MILLION AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000)
general aggregate; (ii) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be
changed by Administrative Agent in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such
protection inadequate in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent; and (iii) to cover at
least the following hazards: (A) premises and operations; (B) products and completed operations on
an “if any” basis; (C) independent contractors; (D) blanket contractual liability for all “insured
contracts” as defined in the standard general liability policy; and (E) contractual liability
covering the indemnities contained in Sections 11.3 (but excluding the willful acts of Borrower) of
this Agreement and the Environmental Indemnity, to the extent the same is available and falls
within the definition of “insured contracts” included with the standard general liability policy;
(c) business income/loss of Rents insurance (i) with loss payable to Administrative Agent (for
the benefit of the Lenders); (ii) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance
provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof; (iii) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected
gross income from the Individual Property (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period
continuing until the Restoration of the Individual Property is completed; the amount of such
business income/loss of Rents insurance shall be determined on the applicable insurance renewal
date and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the
Operating Revenues from the Individual Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period and
(iv) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical
loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income
will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or
the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the Individual Property is repaired or replaced
and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the Policy may expire
prior to the end of such period. Except as provided in Section 3.2 below, all Insurance Proceeds
payable to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to this Section
3.1(1)(c) shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be applied to the obligations secured
hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Notes and this Agreement;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its
obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided
for in the Notes and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the
proceeds of such business income/loss of Rents insurance;
(d) at all times during which structural construction or Alterations are being made with
respect to the Improvements on an applicable Individual Property (i) owner’s contingent or
protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of
the insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(b); and (ii) the insurance provided for in
Section 3.1(1)(a) shall be written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form or
equivalent coverage as part of the “all-risk” insurance (A) on a non-reporting basis, (B) against
63
all risks insured against pursuant to Section 3.1(1)(a), (C) shall include permission
to occupy such applicable Individual Property, and (D) shall not contain a co-insurance provision;
(e) workers’ compensation and employers liability in the amount of Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000), subject to the statutory limits of the State;
(f) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in an amount equal to one

the boiler Equipment on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required
under Section 3.1(1)(a);
(g) if any portion of the Improvements on an Individual Property is at any time located in an
area (a “Flood Prone Area”) identified by the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or
any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance
Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance
Acts”), flood hazard insurance of the following types and in the following amounts (i) coverage
under Policies issued pursuant to the Flood Insurance Acts (the “Flood Insurance Policies”)
in an amount equal to the maximum limit of coverage available for the applicable Individual
Property under the Flood Insurance Acts, subject only to customary deductibles under such Policies
and (ii) to the extent Commercially Available, coverage under supplemental private Policies in an
amount not to exceed Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000);
(h) if reasonably required by Administrative Agent and to the extent Commercially Available
for any particular Individual Property, earthquake insurance in amounts not less than the probable
maximum loss (PML) percentage of the total insurable value of the applicable Individual Property,
as reasonably approved by Administrative Agent, provided that the insurance pursuant to this
Section 3.1(1)(h) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy
required under Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof and, to the extent the same is Commercially
Available, any deductible with respect to such insurance shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the
“Full Replacement Cost” of the applicable Individual Property;
(i) if reasonably required by the Administrative Agent (taking into account a particular
Individual Property’s proximity to a coastal wind zone) and to the extent Commercially Available
for any particular Individual Property, storm damage or so called wind storm damage insurance in an
amount reasonably determined by Administrative Agent, taking into consideration, in all material
respects, the probable maximum loss (PML) from windstorm damage for the particular Individual
Property as determined by a PML study reasonably approved by Administrative Agent;
(j) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Fifty Million Dollars
($50,000,000) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance
policy required under Section 3.1(1)(b) hereof; and
(k) as to each Individual Property such other insurance and in such amounts as Administrative
Agent from time to time may reasonably request, and provided the same is
64
Commercially Available. For the purposes of this Article 3, a particular insurance type or
amount shall be deemed “Commercially Available” for an Individual Property if such
insurance type or amount is (i) commercially available in the insurance market, and (ii) commonly
required by lenders making mortgage loans with respect to property similar to the applicable
Individual Property.
(2) All insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1) hereof shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such
forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be reasonably
satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance
companies permitted to do business in the State in which the applicable Individual Property is
located and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent. Borrower will maintain the insurance
coverage described in Section 3.1(a), (c), (d) and (f) with either (A) one or more financially
sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the
Individual Property is located and having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P not lower than “A-”
or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:IX” or (B) a syndicate of insurers through which at least sixty
percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least fifty
percent (50%) of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) is with carriers
having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P not lower than “A-” or by A.M. Best not lower than
“A:IX” and the balance of the coverage is, in each case, with insurers having a
claims-paying-ability rating by S&P of not lower than “BBB” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:VII”,
provided that in each case, the first loss risk is borne by the carriers having a
claims-paying-rating by S&P of not lower than “A-” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:IX”. Such
insurance coverages required in 3.1 (1)(b), (e), (h), (g), (i) and (j) shall be maintained with (A)
one or more financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the
state in which the Individual Property is located and having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P
not lower than “A-” or A.M. Best of “A-VII” or (B) a syndicate of insurers through which at least
sixty percent (60%) of the coverage is with carriers having a claims paying-ability rating by S&P
not lower than “A” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A-VII”. If Borrower’s insurers or reinsurance
carriers fail to provide or maintain the ratings set forth in this Section 3.1(2), Borrower may
satisfy the applicable ratings requirement by providing to Lender a “cut-through or credit wrap”
policy or endorsement in form and substance reasonably approved by Administrative Agent issued by
an insurer reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or by such other credit enhancement or
guaranty by such other Person, in each event reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. To
the extent the same is Commercially Available, Terrorism Coverage shall be provided by the policies
required by Section 3.1(1) above or by a separate policy, either providing terrorism coverage as
defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (“TRIA”) in place
through December 31, 2014 or any subsequent act replacing or extending TRIA with coverage amounts
of not less than an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Improvements and the Personal
Property on each Individual Property; provided, however, that in the event that TRIA or any
successor legislation is no longer in place, no Policy shall contain an exclusion from coverage
under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism or similar acts of
sabotage, provided that Borrower may obtain separate Terrorism Insurance (as defined below)
coverage subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(2), in which case Borrower
will be required to maintain insurance against terrorism, certified and non-certified terrorist
acts or similar acts of sabotage (“Terrorism Insurance”)
with coverage amounts of not less
than an amount equal to
65
the full replacement cost of the Improvements and the Personal Property on each Individual
Property (the “Terrorism Insurance Required Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that Borrower is required to obtain separate Terrorism Insurance as set forth herein in
the event that TRIA or any successor legislation is no longer in place, Borrower shall only be
required to obtain Terrorism Insurance to the extent that such coverage is obtainable for annual
premiums not in excess of an amount equal to two (2) times the then-annual casualty premium
required under Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof (the “Terrorism Cap”) and shall obtain Terrorism
Coverage to such extent; provided, however, the Terrorism Cap shall not apply if (A) owners and/or
operators of regional shopping centers in the same class and geographic region as the applicable
Individual Property are generally obtaining Terrorism Insurance, (B) lenders financing buildings in
the same class and geographic region as the applicable Individual Property are generally requiring
Terrorism Insurance as a condition of financing, or (C) Borrower or any of the respective
Affiliates of Borrower is obtaining Terrorism Insurance on any other building or portfolio of
buildings which any of the foregoing Persons own or operate.
(3) All Policies provided for or contemplated by
Section 3.1(1) hereof, except for the
Policy referenced in
Section 3.1(1)(e), shall name Administrative Agent (for the benefit of
the Lenders) as additional insureds on liability coverages and loss payee on property coverages, as
their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property, boiler and machinery, and flood
insurance, shall contain a mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the
loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and shall otherwise be in form, substance and content reasonably acceptable to
Administrative Agent. Lender acknowledges that as of the date of this
Loan Agreement Lender has
received certificates evidencing the insurance required by Section 3.1(1) and Borrower agrees not
less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the applicable policies to deliver
certificates of insurance or other satisfactory proof of insurance pursuant to industry standards
marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent of
payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “
Insurance Premiums”). Upon reasonable request
of Administrative Agent or in connection with a claim under a Policy, Borrower shall deliver
copies of the policies to Administrative Agent; in addition, at the request of Administrative
Agent, Borrower shall make copies available to Administrative Agent for inspection and review at
Borrower’s office.
(4) All Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1) hereof shall contain clauses or
endorsements to the effect that:
(i) Except for non-payment of premium no act or negligence of Borrower, or
anyone acting for Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy
which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof,
shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as
Administrative Agent is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the
coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least twenty (20) days’ written
notice to Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an insured
except for non-payment of premium for which ten (10) days written notice shall be
provided;
66
(iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written
notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days
prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums
thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(5) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all
insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the
right, subject to the expiration of the applicable time periods set forth in 3.1(4) above and with
simultaneous notice to Borrower to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to
protect its interest in each Individual Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of
such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate, and
all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such
insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand
and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(6) In the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property
in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans all right, title and interest of Borrower in and
to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the
purchaser at such foreclosure or Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or other
transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Restoration at least sixty percent (60%) of the total rentable space in the
applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered

be leased pursuant to Pre-Casualty or Condemnation Leases or other substitute lease
commitments;
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable

force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a
result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated,
shall have been replaced with a replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified
Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of such Individual Property or any

which is greater than the Threshold Amount applicable to the Individual Property at which the
Restoration is occurring, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld) in all material respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent
consulting engineer selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (the

Restoration the cost of which is greater than the Threshold Amount applicable to the Individual
Property at which the Restoration is occurring, as well as the contracts under which they have been
engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)
by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and
expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for
the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the
reasonable fees of the Casualty Consultant, shall be paid by Borrower.
(d) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net
Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in
place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty
Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (i)
ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as
certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed or (ii) the amount
actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the
Restoration (but shall not be duplicative of such amounts actually held back by Borrower). The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative
Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
3.2 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property
have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have
been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided,
however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being
held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of
the date upon which (a) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all
materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s
contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of
payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be
reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance
Policy for the applicable Individual Property, and receives an endorsement to such Title Insurance
Policy insuring the continued
priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such
70
endorsement. If required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty
Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(e) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more
frequently than once every calendar month.
(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the
reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant
to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the
deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”), either (i) in the form or an Alteration
Indemnity from an Acceptable Indemnitor or (ii) in cash or a Letter of Credit, with Administrative
Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds
Deficiency, if deposited as cash with Administrative Agent, shall be held by Administrative Agent
in an interest-bearing subaccount established by Borrower under and in accordance with the Cash
Management Agreement and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the
Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so
disbursed pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof shall constitute additional security for the Loans
and other obligations under the Loan Documents. If the Net Proceeds Deficiency, as delivered to
Administrative Agent, is in the form of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be held by
Administrative Agent until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the
Restoration has been completed in accordance with Section 3.2 and the receipt by
Administrative Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs
incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, and thereafter, provided that
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be released to Borrower.
(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net
Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to
Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.2 and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in
full, shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall
have occurred and shall be continuing.
(3) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be
returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 3.2(2)(g) hereof may be
retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Loans (without any
Prepayment Premium) whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as
Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper, or, at the sole and
absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to
Borrower for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall approve, in its sole and absolute
discretion. If Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the
Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Administrative Agent
and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Loans. If
71
Administrative Agent elects to apply Net Proceeds towards principal the same shall be deemed a
mandatory prepayment and subject to terms of Section 2.4(5) hereof.
Section 3.3 Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) If any Individual 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
Administrative Agent and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the
Restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual
Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such Alterations as may be reasonably
approved by Administrative Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof.
Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance
(provided that, if Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration
pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 hereof, they are made available to Borrower for
Restoration). Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not
made promptly by Borrower.
(b) Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of any Individual Property
and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with
such proceedings. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower
shall, from time to time, deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments reasonably requested by
it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such
proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate
with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation,
Borrower shall continue to pay the Loans at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in
the Notes and in this Agreement and the Loans shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been
actually received and applied by Administrative Agent, after the deduction of expenses of
collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Loans. Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled
to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes. If any
Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall,
promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Individual Property and
otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof. If an Individual Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of the Award,
Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall
have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay
the Loans.

remaining in the Cash Management Account after the payment of the items described in clauses (i),
(ii) and (iii) of Section 4.1(c) of the Cash Management Agreement shall be deposited in the Cash
Collateral Account pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4.1(c) of the Cash Management Agreement as
additional collateral for the Loans and shall be disbursed as set forth in the Cash Management
Agreement.
Section 4.3 Reserve Funds and Security Accounts Generally.
(1) Grant of Security Interest. Borrower hereby grants a perfected first priority
security interest in favor of Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders in each
Reserve Fund and Security Account established by or for it hereunder and all financial assets and
other property and sums at any time held, deposited or invested therein, and all security
entitlements and investment property relating thereto, together with any interest or other earnings
thereon, and all proceeds thereof, whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, deposit
accounts, instruments, documents or securities (collectively, “Reserve Account
Collateral”), together with all rights of a secured party with respect thereto (even if no
further documentation is requested by Administrative Agent or the Lenders or executed by Borrower).
(2) Borrower covenants and agrees:
(a) to do all acts that may be reasonably necessary to maintain, preserve and protect
Reserved Account Collateral;
(b) to pay promptly when due all material taxes, assessments, charges, encumbrances and
liens now or hereafter imposed upon or affecting any Reserved Account Collateral;
(c) to appear in and defend any action or proceeding which may materially and adversely
affect Borrower’s title to or Administrative Agent’s interest in the Reserved Account
Collateral;
(d) following the creation of each Reserve Fund and Security Account established by or
for Borrower and the initial funding thereof, other than to Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Agreement or the Cash Management Agreement, not to transfer, assign, sell, surrender,
encumber, mortgage, hypothecate, or otherwise dispose of any of the Reserve Account
Collateral or rights or interests therein, and to keep the Reserve Account Collateral free
of all levies and security interests or other liens or charges except the security interest
in favor of Administrative Agent granted hereunder;
(e) to account fully for and promptly deliver to Administrative Agent, in the form
received, all documents, chattel paper, instruments and agreements constituting the Reserve
Account Collateral hereunder, endorsed to Administrative Agent or in blank, as requested by
Administrative Agent, and accompanied by such powers as appropriate and until so delivered
all such documents, instruments, agreements and proceeds shall be held by Borrower in trust
for Administrative Agent, separate from all other property of Borrower; and
73
(f) from time to time upon request by Administrative Agent, to furnish such further
assurances of Borrower’s title with respect to the Reserve Account Collateral, execute such
written agreements, or do such other acts, all as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate
the purposes of this agreement or as may be required by law, or in order to perfect or
continue the first-priority lien and security interest of Administrative Agent in the
Reserve Account Collateral.
(3) Rights on Event of Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, Administrative Agent, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and the other
funds in the Security Accounts and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were
established or to payment of the Loans in such order, proportion and priority as Administrative
Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Administrative Agent’s right to withdraw
and apply such funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
(4) Prohibition Against Further Encumbrance. Borrower shall not, without the prior
consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the
Reserve Funds or the Security Accounts or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
thereon, or any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, except those naming Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lenders as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(5) Release of Reserve Funds. Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds and the
Security Accounts after the Loans have been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower.
Section 4.4
Required Reserve Account. Borrower shall make all deposits into
the Required Reserve Account as may be required pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the Required Reserve Account Agreement. All amounts
on deposit in the Required Reserve Account shall be applied or
disbursed in accordance with the Required Reserve Account Agreement.
74
Section 4.5 Letters of Credit. With respect to any Letter of Credit which Borrower may
furnish or cause to be furnished to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents:
(1) Administrative Agent will be entitled, among other things, to make one or more draws by
presentment thereof to the issuing bank accompanied only by Administrative Agent’s clean
sight-draft, it being intended that the issuing bank shall have no right or duty to inquire as to
Administrative Agent’s right to draw upon such Letter of Credit;
(2) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, among other things, to draw upon each Letter of
Credit, in whole, or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default or under the other circumstances under which a draw shall be permitted under
the Loan Documents or the Letter of Credit;
(3) Administrative Agent shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of Credit within thirty
(30) days prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension
thereof unless, prior to such expiration date of such Letter of Credit and each renewal and
extension thereof, Borrower shall have furnished a replacement, extension or renewal Letter of
Credit, acceptable to Administrative Agent, it being the intent hereof that at no time shall the
unexpired term of any Letter of Credit be less than thirty (30) days. If Administrative Agent
draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this subsection (3), then
Administrative Agent shall give notice of such draw to Borrower and Administrative Agent shall hold
the proceeds thereof as additional collateral for the Obligations, to be applied in accordance with
subsections (4) and (5) below.
(4) Upon three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent shall also be
entitled to draw upon a Letter of Credit if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that its
rights to draw on such Letter of Credit could be in jeopardy. Without limiting
75
the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to draw on a Letter of Credit if
the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing bank no longer meets the minimum rating
contained in the definition of Letter of Credit. Following a draw by Administrative Agent on a
Letter of Credit solely because of the deterioration of the creditworthiness of the issuing bank,
Administrative Agent will deposit such proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account as security for the
purposes for which such Letter of Credit was delivered and Administrative Agent shall be entitled
to draw upon such proceeds to the same extent it would have been entitled to make a draw under the
applicable Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent shall, or shall direct the Cash Management Agent
to, disburse such proceeds to Borrower provided (i) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a
replacement Letter of Credit, (ii) there exists no Event of Default, and (iii) Borrower pays all of
Administrative Agent’s fees and expenses in connection with such draw and disbursement.
(5) No draw by Administrative Agent on any Letter of Credit shall cure or be deemed to cure
any Event of Default or limit in any respect any of Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ remedies
under the Loan Documents, it being understood that Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights
and remedies hereunder shall be cumulative and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no
obligations to apply the proceeds of any draw to missed installments or other amounts then due and
unpaid under the Loans. Proceeds of any draw upon a Letter of Credit (after reimbursement of any
actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reimbursements,
incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such draw) may be applied by Administrative
Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as Administrative Agent may determine. No delay
or omission of Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right to draw on a Letter of
Credit shall impair any such right, or shall be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any
Event of Default.
(6) Administrative Agent shall, upon request, release its rights in any Letters of Credit and
surrender such Letters of Credit to the issuing bank upon the payment in full of all Loans.

INTENTIONALLY DELETED
ARTICLE 6
LEASING MATTERS
Section 6.1 Representations and Warranties on Leases. From and after the date that an
Individual Property is encumbered by a Mortgage, each Borrower represents and warrants to
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Leases of the applicable Individual Property
owned by it as follows:
76
(1) No Individual Property is subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the
true and correct copy of the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 6.1 (the “Rent
Roll”) and made a part hereof (other than tenants’ subleases, if any, and Seasonal Leases).
(2) No person has any possessory interest in any Individual Property or right to occupy the
same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases, the Permitted Encumbrances or the
provisions of the Reciprocal Easement Agreement.
(3) The Leases described on the Rent Roll are in full force and effect and except as disclosed
in such Rent Roll or in an estoppel delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan,
to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no material defaults thereunder by either party to such Lease
and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute material defaults thereunder.
(4) No Rent (other than security deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of
its due date. All work to be performed to date by Borrower under each Lease has been performed in
all material respects as required, and except as disclosed in such Rent Roll or in an estoppel
delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan or in Schedule 7.34, to
Borrower’s knowledge, any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments,
credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by Borrower to any tenant already have been
received by such tenant.
(5) There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment, hypothecation or pledge of
Borrower’s interest in any Lease or of the Rents received therein which is presently outstanding.
(6) Except as expressly described in the Title Insurance Policy or in Schedule 6.1
attached hereto or in an estoppel delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan, no
tenant under any Lease has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or
any part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a part.
(7) Except as described in the Environmental Report, Borrower does not have any knowledge of
any tenant’s intention to use its leased premises for any activity which, directly or indirectly,
involves the unauthorized use, generation, treatment, storage, disposal or transportation of any
Hazardous Substances in any manner that will or likely result in a violation of applicable
Environmental Laws.
(8) On the applicable Closing Date, there are no material Unfunded Tenant Allowances except as
set forth on Schedule 6.5.
Section 6.2 Approval Rights.
(1) Any Material Leases with respect to any Individual Property executed after the date hereof
(other than extensions or renewals of existing Leases pursuant to options provided in such Leases),
shall be subject to the prior approval of Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Borrower may not amend or terminate any Material Lease without the prior
approval of Administrative Agent except in a commercially
77
reasonable manner by reason of tenant default beyond all applicable notice and cure rights.
For purposes of determining whether a Lease which is a “pad” or “ground lease” is a Material Lease,
the gross leasable area of any building to be used by the tenant shall be considered and not the
surface land area to be leased pursuant to such Lease.
(2) Administrative Agent’s prior approval shall not be required for any Lease that is not a
Material Lease executed after the applicable Closing Date provided that the following
conditions are satisfied: (A) there exists no Event of Default for which Administrative Agent
shall have accelerated the Loan; (B) the Lease (or another instrument executed by the applicable
tenant) shall provide that such Lease is subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable
Individual Property and the tenant agrees, subject to appropriate provisions for non-disturbance to
the extent the tenant is not in default thereunder, to attorn to Administrative Agent or any
purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale and the tenant will provide an estoppel
certificate at least one (1) time per calendar year; (C) the Lease does not materially conflict
with any restrictive covenant affecting any Individual Property or any other Lease for space in
such Individual Property; (D) the Lease complies with the Leasing Guideline Schedule; and (E) the
Lease is with a bona fide third-party not an Affiliate of Borrower.
(3) Administrative Agent’s prior approval shall not be required for any modification or
extension executed after the applicable Closing Date of any Lease that is not a Material Lease
provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (A) there exists no Event of Default
for which Administrative Agent shall have accelerated the Loan; (B) such modification or extension
does not materially conflict with any restrictive covenant affecting any Individual Property or any
other Lease for space in such Individual Property; and (C) such modification or extension complies
with the Leasing Guideline Schedule. In no event shall (i) any modification or extension amend the
provisions relating to subordination, attornment, estoppels and landlord liability without the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent or (ii) approval be required for extensions or
renewals of existing Leases (including Material Leases) pursuant to options provided therein.
(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Administrative
Agent’s approval shall not be required for any termination of any Lease if the following conditions
are satisfied: (A) there exists no Event of Default for which Administrative Agent shall have
accelerated the Loan; (B) the Lease is not a Material Lease; and (C) the tenant is in default under
the applicable Lease or the tenant is not in default under the Lease, and Borrower has entered into
a replacement Lease for the portion of the Individual Property occupied by the tenant pursuant to
the Lease to be terminated.
(5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, whenever
Administrative Agent’s approval or consent to a Lease or modification of a Lease is required
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2, the applicable Borrower may, but is not
obligated to, submit to Administrative Agent a Lease Term Sheet for a proposed Lease or
modification of a Lease for which Administrative Agent’s consent is required hereunder together
with reasonably detailed financial information relating to the actual or proposed tenant under such
Lease or Lease modification. The applicable Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the
executed Lease or Lease modification and if such Lease or Lease modification conforms to the
approved Lease Term Sheet delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance
78
with the preceding sentences without material modification from such approved Lease Term
Sheet, then such Lease or Lease modification will be deemed approved. The applicable Borrower shall
have the right to resubmit to Administrative Agent the Lease Term Sheet for the same tenant if the
proposed lease terms have been substantially revised from the Lease Term Sheet which has been
approved, deemed approved or rejected by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.
(6) With regard to any action described in this
Section 6.2 for which Administrative
Agent’s consent is required, Administrative Agent shall not withhold its consent or disapproval to
any such action for more than ten (10) Business Days after request for approval thereof has been
made by Borrower, accompanied by a detailed description of the request for which approval is
sought,
provided that Borrower submits such request for Administrative Agent’s approval in
an envelope labeled “Priority” and delivered to Administrative Agent by overnight delivery and
otherwise in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12.1 and which request shall state
at the top of the first page in bold lettering in 14 pt. font “
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS
REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN
AGREEMENT AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FROM TIME TO TIME A PARTY
THERETO.” In the event that Administrative Agent fails to either approve such request or
disapprove such request (such disapproval stating the reasons for such disapproval) for more than
ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, the action that was the subject of said request shall
be deemed approved.
Section 6.3 Covenants.
(1) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with executed copies of all
Leases, Lease modifications or Lease terminations entered into after the date hereof.
(2) Borrower (A) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the
Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (B) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions
contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a
commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to materially impair the value of the applicable
Individual Property; (C) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance
(other than security deposits or lease termination payments, which lease termination payments will
be deposited by the applicable Borrower into the Lockbox Account); (D) shall not execute any other
assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan
Documents); and (E) shall execute and deliver at the request of Administrative Agent all such
further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Administrative
Agent shall from time to time reasonably require.
(3) At Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent shall enter into a subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement prepared by such Borrower and delivered to Administrative
in a form attached hereto as Schedule 6.3(3) (accompanied by a “blackline” against such
form) as to any Material Lease, any Lease approved by Administrative Agent and all other Leases
with “national tenants” permitted under the Loan Documents at no cost to the applicable Borrower
unless Administrative Agent is required to negotiate the terms of such subordination,
non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in which case the applicable
79
Borrower shall pay for all of Administrative Agent’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expense
incurred with respect to such negotiations.
(4) Borrower shall hold, in trust, all tenant security deposits in a segregated account, and,
to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall not commingle any such funds with any other funds
of Borrower. Within ten (10) days after Administrative Agent’s request (which may not be made more
than once in any calendar year except during the continuance of an Event of Default), Borrower
shall furnish to Administrative Agent a statement of all tenant security deposits, and copies of
all Leases not previously delivered to Administrative Agent, certified by Borrower as being true,
complete and correct.
Section 6.4 Tenant Estoppels.
(1) At Administrative Agent’s request, (1) provided that no Event of Default is then
continuing, Administrative Agent will advise Borrower as to the reason (the “Stated
Reason”) that Administrative Agent is then making such request and, provided, further, that in
no event shall (a) in the absence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent require estoppels
beyond what is reasonably necessary to address the Stated Reason and (b) such request be made more
than once in any calendar year except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall
use reasonable efforts to obtain and furnish to Administrative Agent written estoppels in form and
substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, executed by commercial tenants under Leases in the
applicable Individual Property and confirming the term, Rent, and other provisions and matters
relating to the Leases and (2) if required under the terms of the applicable Lease as a condition
to such tenant’s attornment to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to
obtain from the applicable tenant written subordination and attornment agreements, in form and
substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the form required by the terms
of the applicable Lease shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent), executed by tenants under
Leases in the applicable Individual Property, whereby, among other things, such tenants subordinate
their interest in the applicable Individual Property to the Loan Documents and agree to attorn to
Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and its successors and assigns upon foreclosure or
other transfer of the applicable Individual Property after an Event of Default.
Section 6.5 Unfunded Tenant Allowances. Borrower shall pay, when required by the applicable
Lease, all Unfunded Tenant Allowances due to the applicable tenant.
ARTICLE 7
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as to itself and
its applicable Individual Property that on the applicable Closing Date applicable to its Individual
Property that:
Section 7.1 Organization and Power. Borrower and each Borrower Party are duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation or existence,
and except where the failure to do same would not reasonably be expected to have a
80
Material Adverse Effect as to each Individual Property, is in compliance with Legal
Requirements applicable to doing business and is in good standing in the State. Borrower has the
requite power and authority to own its applicable Individual Property and to transact the
businesses in which it is engaged. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §
1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Section 7.2 Validity of Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower
and each Borrower Party of the Loan Documents: (1) are duly authorized and do not require the
consent or approval of any other party or Governmental Authority which has not been obtained; and
(2) will not violate any law or result in the imposition of any Lien upon the assets of any such
party, except as contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly executed
and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations
of Borrower and each Borrower Party, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject
to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set off,
counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any
of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan
Documents unenforceable, and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set off,
counterclaim or defense with respect thereto, except as may be set forth in the legal opinions
delivered to Administrative Agent on the applicable Closing Date in connection with the Loans.
Section 7.3 Liabilities; Litigation; Bankruptcy.
(1) The financial statements delivered by Borrower and each Borrower Party are true and
correct in all material respects with no significant change since the date of preparation. Except
as disclosed in such financial statements, there are no liabilities (fixed or contingent) affecting
any Individual Property, Borrower or any Borrower Party. Except as disclosed in such financial
statements or on Schedule 7.3 attached hereto, there is no litigation, administrative
proceeding, investigation or other legal action (including any proceeding under any state or
federal bankruptcy or insolvency law) pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened, against
any Individual Property, Borrower or any Borrower Party which if adversely determined would
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as to the Individual Properties taken as a
whole.
(2) Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition
by it under state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major
portion of its assets or property, and neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party has knowledge of any
Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.
Section 7.4 Assessments. Except as disclosed on the Title Policies or on Schedule 7.4
attached hereto, there are no pending or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, proposed, special or other
assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Individual Property, nor are there
any contemplated Improvements to any Individual Property that may result in such special or other
assessments.
81
Section 7.5 Other Agreements; Defaults. Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party is a party to
any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order, injunction, permit, or restriction which
would reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as to the Individual Properties taken
as a whole. Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party is in violation of any agreement which
violation would reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as to the Individual
Properties taken as a whole.
Section 7.6 Compliance with Law.
(1) Except as disclosed in the Physical Conditions Report or in the Site Assessment or in
“PZR” reports delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan, to Borrower’s
knowledge, Borrower and each Individual Property are in compliance in all material respects with
all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances
and codes. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.6(1) attached hereto, the Property does not
constitute, in whole or in part, a non-conforming use under applicable Legal Requirements;
(2) There has not been commited by Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in
occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Individual Property, and Borrower shall
not commit, suffer or permit to occur, any act or omission affording the federal government or any
state or local government the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part
thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan
Documents;
(3) Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.6(3) attached hereto, no Condemnation or other
proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or
any portion of any Individual Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any
Individual Property; and
(4) Except as disclosed on the applicable Survey, (i) each Individual Property has adequate
rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm
drain facilities; (ii) all public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment
of each Individual Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Individual
Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve such Individual Property without
passing over other property, except to the extent such other property is subject to a perpetual
easement for such utility benefiting such Individual Property; and (iii) all roads necessary for
the full utilization of each Individual Property for its current purpose have been completed and
dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
(5) No portion of any Individual Property has been or will be purchased with proceeds of any
illegal activity.
Section 7.7 Location of Borrower. Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive
offices are located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000.
Section 7.8 ERISA. Borrower has not established any pension plan for employees which would
cause Borrower to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is not an “employee benefit plan,” as
82
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of
Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate 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, (i) Borrower and each ERISA
Affiliate is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (ii)
transactions by or with Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate are not subject to state statutes
regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.
Section 7.9 Margin Stock. No part of proceeds of the Loans will be used for purchasing or
acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 7.10 Tax Filings. Borrower and each Borrower Party have filed (or have obtained
effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and
have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges
and assessments payable by Borrower and each Borrower Party, respectively.
Section 7.11 Solvency. Giving effect to the Loans, the fair saleable aggregate value of
Borrower’s combined assets (based on the appraised value of the Property) exceeds and will,
immediately following the making of the Loans, exceed Borrower’s total combined liabilities,
including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.
The fair saleable value of Borrower’s combined assets (based on the appraised value of the
Property) is and will, immediately following the making of the Loans, be greater than Borrower’s
aggregate probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its or their contingent liabilities
on its or their debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s combined assets (based
on the appraised value of the Property) do not and, immediately following the making of the Loans
will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its or their business as conducted or
as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur
Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its
ability to pay such Indebtedness 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 obligations of
Borrower).
Section 7.12 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of
Borrower or any Borrower Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any
certificate, statement or questionnaire delivered by Borrower or any Borrower Party in connection
with the Loans 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 fact
presently known to Borrower or any Borrower Party which has not been disclosed to Administrative
Agent, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect as to any Individual Property.
Section 7.13 Single Purpose Entity. Each of the Borrowers hereby represents, warrants and
covenants as follows:
(1) The purpose for which Borrower, other than the MD Borrowers, is organized is and shall be
limited solely to (A) owning, holding, leasing, transferring, operating and managing the Individual
Property and all business incidental thereto, (B) refinancing the

Individual Property in connection with a permitted repayment of the Loans and (C) transacting
any and all lawful business for which Borrower may be organized under its constitutive law that is
incidental, necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing. The purpose for which each MD
Borrower is organized is and shall be limited solely to (y) borrowing the Loan and entering into or
assuming the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it
is a party and (z) transacting any and all lawful business for which MD Borrower may be organized
under its constitutive law that is incidental, necessary or appropriate to accomplish the
foregoing.
(2) Except as may be permitted herein, Borrower, other than the MD Borrowers, does not own and
will not own or acquire any asset or property other than (A) the Individual Property and (B)
incidental personal property necessary for and used or to be used in connection with the ownership,
management or operation of the Individual Property. MD Borrower does not and will not own any
property.
(3) Except as may be permitted herein, Borrower, other than the MD Borrowers, does not and
will not engage in any business other than the ownership of the ownership, management and operation
of the Individual Property or business incidental thereto (including as described in subsection (1)
hereof).
(4) Borrower is not a party to and will not enter into any contract, agreement or transaction
with any Affiliate except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially
reasonable and substantially similar to those that would be available on an arms-length basis with
third parties not so affiliated with Borrower.
(5) MD Borrower is not liable for and will not incur any Indebtedness other than the Loan.
Borrower, other than MD Borrower, is not liable for and will not incur any Indebtedness other than
(i) the Indebtedness, (ii) trade and operational debt (collectively “Trade Debt”) incurred
in the ordinary course of business with trade creditors in amounts as are normal and reasonable
under the circumstances, provided such Trade Debt does not exceed the applicable Trade Debt
Threshold Amount, is not evidenced by a note and is not in excess of sixty (60) days past due
(unless the same is subject to good faith dispute by Borrower, in appropriate proceedings therefor,
and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP), and (iii) Capital
Expenditures having a cost in the aggregate not in excess of the Threshold Amount (taking into
account all Capital Expenditures which are ongoing or which have not been paid for in full but
excluding Trade Debt and the Capital Expenditures for which the applicable Borrower has delivered
to Administrative Agent the collateral required by Section 9.14(1) hereof). No
Indebtedness other than the Debt may be secured (senior, subordinate or pari passu) by the
Individual Property (other than Indebtedness, if any, secured by Permitted Encumbrances and such
other Liens approved by Lender or permitted pursuant to this Agreement). For the purposes of
determining the cost of Capital Expenditures which are ongoing or which have not been paid in full,
any Capital Expenditures for which Borrower has provided the collateral described in Section
9.14 shall be disregarded.
(6) Borrower has not made and will not make any advance payments other than in the ordinary
course of its business or loans to any Person and shall not acquire obligations or securities of
any of its Affiliate.
84
(7) Borrower is and will remain solvent, is paying and will pay its debts and liabilities
(including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) from its assets as the same

in appropriate proceedings therefor, and for which adequate reserves have been established in
accordance with GAAP).
(8) Borrower has done or caused to be done and will do all things necessary to observe
organizational formalities and preserve its separate existence, and will not, nor will it permit
any of its Affiliates to, amend, modify or otherwise change the operating agreement, as applicable,
or other organizational documents of Borrower in any material respect which adversely affects its
existence as a Single Purpose Entity or its other obligations with respect to the Loans without the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may convert
its organization entity type without prior consent of Administrative Agent, provided that
Borrower (i) at all times complies with the provisions of this Section 7.13; (ii) delivers,
at Borrower’s cost and expense, to Administrative Agent the organizational documents in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such conversion no later than
ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion; (iii) delivers, at
Borrower’s cost and expense, such amendments to all financing statements filed in connection with
the Loan, as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent; (iv) delivers, at Borrower’s cost
and expense, to Administrative Agent any other document, instrument or certificate that
Administrative Agent shall reasonably require; and (v) pays for all of Administrative Agent’s
reasonable out-of-pocket expense, including but not limited to, Administrative Agent’s legal fees
incurred in connection with the review of such deliveries.
(9) Borrower maintains and will maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and
bank accounts separate from those of any other Person and, except as required or permitted under
GAAP, its assets are not and will not be listed as assets on the financial statement of any other
Person. Borrower has filed and will file its own tax returns and will not file a consolidated
federal income tax return with any other Person (except that and Borrower may file or may be part
of a consolidated federal tax return to the extent required or permitted by applicable law);
provided, however, that there shall be an appropriate notation indicating the
separate existence of Borrower and its respective assets and liabilities. Borrower maintains and
shall maintain its books, records, resolutions and agreements as official records.
(10) Borrower is and will be, and at all times will hold itself out to the public as, a legal
entity separate and distinct from any other Person (including any of its respective Affiliates),
shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct
business in its own name, does not and shall not identify itself as a division or part of any other
Person and does and shall maintain and utilize a separate telephone number and separate stationery,
invoices and checks.
(11) Borrower does and will maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably
foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business
operations.
85
(12) Neither Borrower nor any of its respective Affiliates will seek the dissolution, winding
up, liquidation, consolidation or merger in whole or in part of Borrower or the Property, or,
except as expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement, the sale of material assets of
Borrower, as the case may be.
(13) Borrower will not commingle its assets with those of any other Person and Borrower will
hold all of its respective assets in its own name. Borrower does and will continue to maintain and
account for its assets in such a manner that it will not be costly or difficult to segregate,
ascertain or identify its individual assets from those of any other Person.
(14) Except for the Loans, (A) Borrower does not presently guaranty the debts of any other
Person; (B) will not guarantee or become obligated for the debts of any other Person; and (C) does
or will hold itself out as being responsible for the debts or obligations of any other Person.
(15) Borrower, other than MD Borrowers, is either (A) a single member Delaware limited
liability company which shall have one (1) Independent Manager, (B) a limited partnership which has
as its general partner a single member Maryland limited liability company which is and shall be a
Single Purpose Entity Party which shall have one (1) Independent Manager or (C) a business trust
which has one (1) Independent Trustee.
(16) MD Borrower is a limited liability company whose sole member is the applicable MD
Guarantor. MD Guarantor shall comply with the representations, warranties and covenants described
in this Section 7.13 as if made by the MD Guarantor, except that the purpose of the MD
Guarantor shall be limited to owning and holding its interest in the applicable MD Borrower and the
Individual Property and all action incidental, necessary and appropriate to accomplish the
foregoing. If at any time while the Note is outstanding, MD Borrower is not a limited liability
company, MD Guarantor shall be a Special Purpose Entity which satisfies the Administrative Agent
for the type of entity applicable to MD Borrower.
(17) At all times when a member or general partner of Borrower is required to be an Single
Purpose Entity Party, Borrower shall cause (a) there to be at least one (1) duly appointed
Independent Manager on the board of managers of such member or general partner and (b) such member
or general partner to own at least 0.1% of the equity interests in such Borrower.
(18) Borrower does and shall allocate fairly and reasonably any overhead expenses that are
shared with any of their respective Affiliates, including paying for office space and services

other Person other than with respect to the Loan.
(20) Borrower will pay the salaries of its own employees from its own funds.

is no Management Agreement currently in effect.
86
Section 7.15 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 (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, operating
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 Applicable Law 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 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.
Section 7.16 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee or leasehold title, as
the case may be, to the real property comprising of each Individual Property, and good title to the
balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except for the Permitted
Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents. The Mortgage
creates (and upon the recordation thereof and of any related financing statements there will be
perfected) (1) a valid and enforceable Lien on each Individual Property, subject only to Permitted
Encumbrances and (2) security interests in and to, and collateral assignments of, all
personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case
subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents. Except to the extent insured over by the Title Insurance Policy,
there are no claims against Borrower’s interest in the Property for payment for work, labor or
materials affecting any Individual Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal
priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents. None of the Permitted Encumbrances,
individually or in the aggregate, materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by the Mortgage and this Agreement or have a Material Adverse Effect as to the
Individual Properties, taken as a whole.

office and other appurtenant and related uses.

Section 7.19 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Administrative Agent
evidence of insurance for the Property reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other

operation of each Individual Property in the manner in which such Individual Property is currently
used, occupied and operated (collectively, the “Licenses”) have been obtained and are in

landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, are in good condition, order and
repair in all material respects; to Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no structural or other
material defects or damages in any Individual Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower
has not received written notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or

or bond.

wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Individual Property, and no

as to have a Materially Adverse Effect, except those which are insured against by title insurance.

Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the transfer of each Individual Property

Section 7.27 Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc.
(1) Neither the execution and delivery of the Notes and the other Loan Documents by Borrower
Parties nor the use of the proceeds of the Loans, will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as

subsidiaries, its business, any Borrower Party, and any Individual Property within thirty (30) days
after Administrative Agent’s request therefor.
Section 8.4 Annual Budget. For each Fiscal Year during the continuance of a Trigger Event and
upon Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent
not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year in
form reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent an Annual Budget. Each such Annual Budget
submitted for such Fiscal Year shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s approval, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual
Budget”). In the event that Administrative Agent reasonably objects to a proposed Annual
Budget submitted by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall advise Borrower of such objections within
fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description
of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to
Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised
Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably
detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance
with the process described in this subsection until Administrative Agent approves the Annual Budget
provided that Administrative Agent’s failure to object to any Annual Budget within the applicable
time set forth in this Section shall be deemed to be approval of same. Until such time that
Administrative Agent approves or is deemed to have approved a proposed Annual Budget, 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. The
Annual Budget in effect upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event shall be deemed to be an Approved
Annual Budget.
Section 8.5 Audits. Borrower shall permit Administrative Agent to examine such records, books
and papers of Borrower which reflect upon its financial condition and the income and expense
relative to the Property. Administrative Agent shall have the right to choose and appoint a

except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in which case it
shall be at Borrower’s expense.

occurs in violation of this Agreement regardless of whether voluntary
97
or not, or whether or not Administrative Agent has consented to any previous Prohibited

Any Prohibited Transfer made in contravention of this paragraph shall be null and void and of no
force and effect.
(10) Borrower agrees to bear and shall pay or reimburse Administrative Agent on demand for all

Administrative Agent’s confirmation in an envelope labeled “Priority” and delivered to
Administrative Agent by overnight delivery and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of
Section 12.1 and which request shall state at the top of the first page in bold lettering in 14 pt.
font “
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS
NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
THE LENDERS FROM TIME TO TIME A PARTY THERETO.” In the event that Administrative Agent fails to
confirm whether the such Person comply with the conditions contained in
Sections 9.1(2)(c)
or
9.1(3)(f), as the case may be, is adverse to any of the Lenders (such confirmation shall
state the reasons why such Person does not comply with the conditions contained in
Sections
9.1(2)(c) or
9.1(3)(f) hereof, as the case may be) for more than five (5) Business Days
after receipt thereof, such Person shall be deemed not adverse to any of the Lenders.
Section 9.2 Taxes; Other Charges.
(1) Borrower shall pay before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto, and
shall not enter into any agreement to defer, any Taxes or Other Charges imposed against each
Individual Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable, and will promptly
furnish Administrative Agent with evidence of such payment. Borrower shall not suffer or permit
the joint assessment of any Individual Property with any other real property constituting a
separate tax lot or with any other real or Personal Property. Borrower shall pay when due all
claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and Other Charges and others which, if
unpaid, might result in a Lien on any Individual Property.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, after prior written notice to Administrative Agent,
Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly
98
initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or
application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be
conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other material instrument to which Borrower is
subject and shall not constitute a material default thereunder and such proceeding shall be
conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the
applicable Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being
sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final
determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs,
interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall
suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi)
Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, to insure the payment of
any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
Section 9.3 Control; Management. Except in connection with a Property Transfer or an Equity
Transfer as may be permitted by Section 9.1 hereof, there shall be no Change of Control of
the day-to-day management of Borrower or any Borrower Party without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent or in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Borrower shall not terminate, replace or appoint any Manager or terminate or amend the
Management Agreement for the applicable Individual Property without
Administrative Agent’s prior written approval, provided, however, Borrower may
replace Manager with a Qualifying Manager without Administrative Agent prior written approval. In
such event, the Management Agreement entered into with such Qualifying Manager is subject to
Administrative Agent’s prior written approval. Any change in ownership or control of the Manager
shall be cause for Administrative Agent to re-approve such Manager and Management Agreement. If at
any time Administrative Agent consents to the appointment of a new Manager or if a Qualifying
Manager is appointed as provided above, (a) such new Manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of
Administrative Agent’s consent, execute a Subordination of Management Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F and (b) such new Manager may not receive as a management fee
an amount in excess of three percent (3%) of Operating Revenues. Each Manager shall hold and
maintain all necessary licenses, certifications and permits required by law in order to properly
discharge its obligations under the Management Agreement. Borrower shall, in all material

in good condition. Borrower shall permit Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their agents,
representatives and employees, upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower (which may not be less than
two (2) Business Days absent an emergency), to inspect each Individual Property (and, unless an
Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, Borrower’s representative shall be
permitted to accompany Lender on such inspections), and conduct such environmental and engineering
studies as Administrative Agent may require, provided such inspections and studies do not
materially interfere with the use and operation of any Individual Property. Borrower shall be
responsible for Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses with
respect to all inspections during the
99
continuance of an Event of Default; inspections occurring at any time that an Event of Default
is not in existence shall be at Lender’s expense. Borrower shall keep and maintain all Licenses
necessary for the Ownership, use and operation of the Individual Property in the ordinary course in
full force and effect. Administrative Agent shall have the right, at Borrower’s cost and expense,
to obtain Appraisals of the Properties once every three (3) years.
Section 9.5 Taxes on Security. Borrower shall pay all taxes, charges, filing, registration
and recording fees, excises and levies payable with respect to the Notes or the Liens created or
secured by the Loan Documents, other than income, franchise and doing business taxes imposed on
Administrative Agent or any Lender. If there shall be enacted any law (1) deducting the Loans from
the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation, (2) affecting any Lien on any Individual
Property, or (3) changing existing laws of taxation of mortgages, deeds of trust, security deeds,
or debts secured by real property, or changing the manner of collecting any such taxes, Borrower
shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent, on demand, all taxes, costs and charges for which
Administrative Agent or any Lender is liable as a result thereof; however, if such payment would be
prohibited by law or would render the Loans usurious, then instead of collecting such payment,
Administrative Agent may (and on the request of the Majority Lenders shall) declare all amounts
owing under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that no
Prepayment Fee shall be due in connection therewith and such payment shall be due on such dates as
to avoid or minimize Breakage Costs.
Section 9.6 Legal Existence; Name, Etc. Subject to Section 7.13(8), Borrower and each
General Partner or Managing Member, as the case may be, in Borrower shall preserve and keep in full
force and effect its existence, entity status, franchises, rights and privileges under the laws of
the state of its formation. Neither Borrower nor any General Partner or Managing Member, as the
case may be, of Borrower shall wind up, liquidate, dissolve, reorganize, merge, or consolidate with
or into, or, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.3 and
9.1, convey, sell, assign, transfer, Lease, or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its assets, or acquire all or substantially all of the assets of the business of any Person,
or permit any subsidiary of Borrower. Subject to Section 7.13(8), Borrower and each
General Partner or Managing Member, as the case may be, in Borrower shall conduct business only in

Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders, incur any Indebtedness other than the Loans and
Trade Debt described in Section 7.13(5).
Section 9.9 Further Assurances. Borrower shall promptly (1) cure any defects in the execution
and delivery of the Loan Documents, and (2) execute and deliver, or cause to be
100
executed and delivered, all such other documents, agreements and instruments as Administrative
Agent may reasonably request to further evidence and more fully describe the collateral for the
Loans, to correct any omissions in the Loan Documents, to perfect, protect or preserve any Liens
created under any of the Loan Documents, or to make any recordings, file any notices, or obtain any
consents, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection therewith.

(1) Borrower, within ten (10) days after request, shall furnish to Administrative Agent a
written statement, duly acknowledged, setting forth the amount due on the Loans, the terms of

(1) any Event of Default, together with a detailed statement of the steps being taken to
cure such Event of Default; (2) any notice of default received by Borrower or any Borrower
Party under other material obligations relating to the Property or otherwise material to Borrower’s
business; and (3) any threatened or pending legal, judicial or regulatory proceedings, including
any dispute between Borrower and any Governmental Authority, affecting Borrower or the any
Individual Property.

and each Lender harmless from and against any and all actual losses, liabilities, claims, damages,
expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever, including the reasonable fees and actual expenses of their counsel, which may be
imposed upon, asserted against or incurred by any of them relating to or arising, except to the

seeking indemnification hereunder, out of (1) any Individual Property or (2) any of the Loan
Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, (a) any
accident, injury to or death of Persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about

Property, (d) any proceeding instituted by any Person claiming a Lien, and (e) any brokerage

Section 9.14 Alterations.
(1) Borrower shall obtain Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, to any Alterations to any Improvements on any Individual Property
that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Individual
Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent’s consent shall not be required in
connection with any Alterations in connection with (i) tenant improvement work performed pursuant

Threshold and may be reduced from time to time at the request of Borrower to the cost estimated by
Borrower and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent to complete such Alterations or to
terminate any of the Alterations and restore such Individual Property to the extent necessary to
prevent a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Individual Property, or (F) cause an Acceptable
Indemnitor to execute and deliver to Administrative an Alteration Indemnity in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit G) with respect to such Alterations, such Alteration Indemnity to be in
an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to such Alterations to the
Improvements including any Unfunded Tenant Allowances applicable to the Individual Property (other

Threshold.
(2) With regard to any action described in this Section 9.14 for which Administrative

AGREEMENT AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FROM TIME TO TIME A PARTY
THERETO.” In the event that Administrative Agent fails to either approve such request or

Section 9.16 TIF Agreements. Borrower shall (a) diligently perform and observe all of the
terms, covenants and conditions of the TIF Agreements on the part of Borrower to be performed and
observed prior to the expiration of any applicable grace period therein provided and (b) promptly
notify Administrative Agent of the giving of any written notice by any other party under the TIF
Agreements to Borrower of any default by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, covenants or conditions of the TIF Agreements on the part of Borrower thereunder to be
performed or observed and deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice. Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
103
withheld), terminate or cancel the TIF Agreements or modify, change, supplement, alter or
amend the TIF Agreements, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, as further security for the payment of the
Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage
and this Agreement, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower to terminate,
cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the TIF Agreements and any such termination,
cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the TIF Agreements
without the prior consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) shall be void and of no force and effect. If Borrower shall default in the performance
or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the TIF Agreements on the part of
Borrower thereunder to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other
provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of
its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no
obligation, upon five (5) Business Days written notice to Borrower (or such shorter period of time
as may be necessary to avoid the termination of the TIF Agreements), to pay any sums and to perform
any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and
conditions of the TIF Agreements on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed or to be
promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to
and under the TIF Agreements shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default,
even though the existence of such
event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on
behalf of Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take
action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Administrative Agent will promptly notify
Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any
such action. Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent
reasonably, in good faith, deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be
subrogated to any and all rights of the other parties under the TIF Agreements. Borrower hereby
agrees to pay to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after demand, all such sums so
paid and expended by Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the day of such
payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent and the
interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage. If any party
under the TIF Agreements shall deliver to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default sent
to Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon.

Individual Property shall at all times comply with the requirements of the Americans with

proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.

consent to or acquiesce in any change or variance in any zoning or land use laws or other
conditions of use of any Individual Property or any portion thereof or (ii) use or permit the use
of any portion of any Individual Property in any manner that in either the case of (i) or (ii)

law or any other Applicable Law. Borrower shall not modify any agreements relating to zoning or
land use matters or with the joinder or merger of lots for zoning, land use or other purposes,
without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a), the consent of Lender shall not be unreasonably
withheld in connection with any application of applicable Borrower seeking any zoning
reclassification, any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or any special use or permit
with regard to any portion of any Individual Property which would otherwise qualify as a Release
Parcel so long such zoning classification, variance or special use or permit does not cause the
remainder of the applicable Individual Property to become non-conforming and (b)
with respect to the Individual Property known as Colony Square, Administrative Agent consents
to the Colony Square Zoning Request described on Schedule; provided however, in no event shall the
Colony Square Zoning Request cause the existing uses be adversely affected nor shall the Colony

Colony Square.

Code or (b) cause the Transactions to be a nonexempt prohibited transaction (as such term is
defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that could subject Administrative
Agent and/or the Lenders, on account of any Loan or execution of the Loan Documents hereunder, to

502(i) of ERISA.

designated by Administrative Agent or any Lender, upon reasonable prior notice, to examine and
make extracts from its books and records, and to discuss its affairs, finances and condition with

requested, but not more than once every twelve (12) months unless an Event of Default shall exist
and be continuing.
Section 9.21 Foreign Assets Control Regulations. Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party
shall use the proceeds of the Loans in any manner that will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act,
as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury
Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or the Anti-Terrorism

permit, suffer or refrain from doing anything, as a result of which could be a material default
under any of the terms thereof beyond the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any
applicable cure period or a breach of any of the terms thereof (it being agreed that any default

in a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Individual Property; and (iv) give Administrative
Agent prompt written notice of any material default by anyone thereunder and promptly deliver to

Section 9.25 Ground Lease Provisions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
or any other Loan Document to the contrary, Borrower hereby warrants, covenants, represents and
agrees as follows as to each of the Ground Leases:
(1) The Ground Lease. Borrower shall (a) pay all Ground Rent required to be paid by Borrower,
as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease as and when such Ground Rent is
due and payable, (b) diligently perform and observe (in all material respects) all of the material
terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of
Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed and observed prior to the expiration of any
applicable grace period therein provided, and (c) promptly notify Administrative Agent of the
giving of any written notice by the ground lessor under the Ground Lease to Borrower of any default
by Borrower in the performance or observance of any of the material terms, covenants or
106
conditions
of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed and
deliver to Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement (including but not limited to subsection (3) below), Borrower shall not, without the
prior consent of Administrative Agent, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease
or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground
Lease, in any material respect, either orally or in writing, and Borrower hereby assigns to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, as further security for the payment of the
Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage
and this Agreement, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower, as tenant under the
Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate,
cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease in any material respect and any
such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation,
modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease in any material
respect without the prior consent of Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force and effect.
If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or
condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or
observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage and this
Agreement and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder,
Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, upon reasonable notice
to Borrower, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to
cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of
Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed
on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease
shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of
such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on
behalf of Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take
action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Administrative Agent will promptly notify
Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any
such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of Tenants, subtenants and other occupants
under the Leases or of parties to any Reciprocal Easement Agreement or any Permitted Encumbrance,
Administrative Agent and any Person designated as Administrative Agent’s agent by Administrative
Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to peaceably enter upon the applicable
Individual Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice and from time to time upon prior
reasonable notice for the purpose of taking any such action. Administrative Agent may pay and
expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent reasonably, in good faith, deems necessary for
any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under
the Ground Lease. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business
Days after demand, all actual out-of-pocket such sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent,
together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid
and expended by Administrative Agent and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal
operation and effect of the Mortgage. If the ground
lessor under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Administrativ
e Agent a copy of any notice of
default sent by said ground lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall
constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by
Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall exercise each
107
individual
option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by Administrative Agent
made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised,
and if Borrower shall fail to do so, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints
Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon
behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled
with an interest. Except to the extent required by the terms of the Ground Lease, Borrower will
not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed,
lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s interest in all or any part of the applicable
Individual Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of Administrative Agent shall
have been first had and obtained, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or
delayed.
(2) No Merger of Fee and Leasehold Estates; Releases. So long as any portion of the Debt
shall remain unpaid, unless Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, the fee title to that
portion of the applicable Individual Property subject to the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate
therein created pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be
kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in Borrower, Administrative
Agent, or in any other Person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise. Administrative Agent
reserves the right, at any time, to release portions of the such Individual Property, including,
but not limited to, the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease, with or without
consideration, at Administrative Agent’s election, without waiving or affecting any of its rights
hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents and any such release shall not affect
Administrative Agent’s rights in connection with the portion of the applicable Individual Property
not so released.
(3) Borrower’s Acquisition of Fee Estate. In the event that Borrower, so long as any portion
of the Debt remains unpaid, shall be the owner and holder of the fee title to that portion of the
applicable Individual Property subject to the Ground Lease, the Lien of the Mortgage shall be
spread to cover Borrower’s fee title to such portion of the Property and said fee title shall be
deemed to be included in the Property and no consent of Administrative Agent is required for
Borrower to acquire fee title to that portion of the Property subject to the Ground Lease.
Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation Administrative Agent’s
reasonable attorneys’ fees, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to
subject its fee title to such portion of the Property to the lien of the Mortgage; and (ii) provide
a Title Insurance Policy which shall insure that the lien of the Mortgage is a first lien (subject
to Permitted Encumbrances) on Borrower’s fee title to such portion of the Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Ground Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated prior to
the natural expiration of its term, and if, pursuant to any provisions of the Ground Lease or
otherwise, Administrative Agent or its designee shall acquire from the landlord thereunder another
lease of the Property, Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to such other lease or
the leasehold estate created thereby so long as any part of the Debt remains outstanding.
(4) Rejection of the Ground Lease.
(a) In the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease by the landlord
thereunder pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, (i)
Borrower, promptly after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to Xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
000
Xxxxx, (xx) Borrower, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, shall not elect to
treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by Borrower made without such consent
shall be void and (iii) the Mortgage and all the Liens, terms, covenants and conditions of the
Mortgage shall extend to and cover Borrower’s possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the
Bankruptcy Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of the Ground Lease or other
termination of the Ground Lease. In addition, Borrower hereby assigns irrevocably to
Administrative Agent, Borrower’s rights to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section
365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to offset Ground Rents under the Ground Lease in the event any
case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against the landlord under the Bankruptcy Code
or any comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Administrative Agent shall
not exercise such rights and shall permit Borrower to exercise such rights with the prior written
consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing.
(b) Borrower hereby assigns to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders Borrower’s
right to seek an extension of the 60-day period within which Borrower must accept or reject the
Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or
law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Borrower under the
Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Administrative
Agent shall not exercise such right, and shall permit Borrower to exercise such right with the
prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Further, if Borrower shall desire to so reject the
Ground Lease, at Administrative Agent’s request, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the
Ground Lease and Applicable Law, Borrower shall assign its interest in the Ground Lease to
Administrative Agent in lieu of rejecting such Ground Lease as described above, upon receipt by
Borrower of written notice from Administrative Agent of such request together with Administrative
Agent’s agreement to cure any existing defaults of Borrower under the Ground Lease and to provide
adequate assurance of future performance of Borrower’s obligations thereunder.
(c) Borrower hereby agrees that if the Ground Lease is terminated for any reason in the event
of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other
law affecting creditor’s rights, any property of Borrower not removed from the applicable
Individual Property by Borrower as permitted or required by the Ground Lease, shall at the option
of Administrative Agent be deemed abandoned by Borrower, provided that Administrative Agent
may remove any such property required to be removed by Borrower pursuant to the Ground Lease and
all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such removal shall be paid by
Borrower within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Borrower of an invoice for such removal costs
and expenses.
Section 9.26 Condominium Provisions.
(1) Borrower shall diligently and timely pay, perform and observe all of the material terms,
covenants and conditions required to be performed by Borrower under the Condominium Documents to
the extent that the same apply to the applicable Individual Property.
109
(2) Borrower shall pay when due all common charges and other amounts as and when payable by
Borrower under the Condominium Documents.
(3) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative
Agent may vote in place of Borrower and may exercise any and all of Borrower’s voting rights under
the Condominium Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest to vote as Borrower’s proxy and to act with respect to all of said rights
so long as such Event of Default is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, nothing contained herein or otherwise shall render Administrative Agent or any Lender
liable for any common charges or other fees.
(4) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a true, complete and correct copy
of all notices of default received by Borrower with respect to any obligation or duty of Borrower
under the Condominium Documents.
(5) Borrower will comply with all requirements set forth in the Condominium Documents
applicable to transfers of ownership of the applicable Individual Property or obtain a waiver of
any such condition(s) prior to the consummation of any transfers of ownership of the Property or
any interest therein to the extent required by the Condominium Documents.
(6) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) terminate or permit the termination of any of the
Condominium Documents or (ii) modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any of the Condominium
Documents, or permit any of the Condominium Documents to be modified, changed, supplemented,
altered or amended, and any such termination, modification, change, supplement, alteration or
amendment of any of the Condominium Documents in violation of the foregoing without the consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent shall be void and of
no force and effect.
(7) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the event of damage to or destruction of the
applicable Individual Property, vote not to Restore the applicable Individual Property unless such
Restoration of the applicable Individual Property is required pursuant to any Lease.
(8) In each and every case in which, under the provisions of the Condominium Documents, the
consent or any other approval or vote of Borrower is required with respect to any action that could
reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Individual
Property, Borrower shall not vote nor give such consent or approval without, in each and every
case, the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld).
(9) Borrower shall not, while Borrower and its Affiliates control the Board of Directors,
without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed permit the Board of Directors to incur any indebtedness, other than as
permitted under the Condominium Documents, or to encumber the applicable Individual Property or any
interest therein.
110
(10) If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant
or condition of any of the Condominium Documents on the part of Borrower to be performed or
observed after the expiration of applicable grace and cure periods, then, without limiting the
generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents and
without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent
shall have the right (following five (5) Business Days notice to Borrower, or such shorter time as
may be required to avoid an event of default under the Condominium Documents), but shall be under
no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to
cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Condominium Documents on the part
of Borrower to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of
Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under any of the Condominium Documents
shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of
such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on
behalf of Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take any
action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of the
making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In
any such event, subject to the applicable Condominium Documents, the rights of tenants under Leases
and other occupants, the applicable Reciprocal Easement Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances,
Administrative Agent and any person designated by Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby
granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property or the building located thereon
at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice and from time to time for the purpose of taking any
such action. Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent
reasonably deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and

so paid and expended by Administrative Agent , together with interest thereon from the day of such
payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent and the

hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Administrative Agent as its true and lawful attorney,
coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to perform any and all actions contemplated by this
Section, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof;
provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not perform any such action under
such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Administrative Agent of
Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

ARTICLE 11
REMEDIES
Section 11.1 Remedies — Insolvency Events. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Section 10.11 or 10.12, the obligations of the Lenders to advance
amounts hereunder shall immediately terminate, and all amounts due under the Loan Documents
immediately shall become due and payable, all without written notice and without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity
thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or any other notice of default of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, if
the Bankruptcy Party under Section 10.11 or 10.12 is other than Borrower, then all
amounts due under the Loan Documents shall become immediately due and payable at Administrative
Agent’s election, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion.
Section 11.2 Remedies — Other Events. Except as set forth in Section 11.1 above,
while any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may (1) by written notice to Borrower,
declare the entire amount of the Loans to be immediately due and payable without presentment,
demand, protest, notice of protest or dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity
thereof, notice of acceleration of the maturity thereof, or other notice of default of any kind
except to the extent required by Applicable Law, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Borrower, (2) terminate the obligation, if any, of the Lenders to advance amounts hereunder, and
(3) exercise all rights and remedies therefor under the Loan Documents and at law or in equity.
Section 11.3 Administrative Agent’s Right to Perform the Obligations; Cure.
(1) If Borrower shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required
by the Loan Documents, then while any Event of Default exists, and without notice to or demand upon
Borrower and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Administrative Agent
or any Lender may have because of such Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of
Borrower, and shall have the right to enter upon any Individual Property for such purpose and to
take all such action thereon and with respect to such Individual Property as it may deem necessary
or appropriate. If Administrative Agent shall elect to pay any sum due with reference to any
Individual Property, Administrative Agent may do so in reliance on any xxxx, statement or
assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental
Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof.
Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan
Documents, Administrative Agent shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or
threatened adverse title, Lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the
purpose of preventing or removing the same. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold
Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
115
claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Administrative Agent or any
Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.3(1), including those arising from the
joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence of Administrative Agent and any Lender, except as a
result of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. All sums
paid by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.3(1), and all other sums expended
by Administrative Agent or any Lender to which it shall be entitled to be indemnified, together
with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure until paid,
shall constitute additions to the Loans, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall be paid
by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand.
(2) If (a) Borrower shall cure any Event of Default (without regard to whether this
Article 11 provides for a cure action to be taken by Borrower) and Administrative Agent
accepts such cure or (b) Administrative Agent, without such cure, unilaterally elects to waive any
Event of Default and not enforce remedies available to Administrative Agent or the Lenders under
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or under Applicable Law, upon the request of Borrower,
Administrative Agent will deliver to Borrower written confirmation that (i) as a consequence of
such cure or (ii) as a result of such waiver that no Event of Default exists upon which
Administrative Agent or Lenders will then enforce its remedies; provided, however, that nothing
contained herein or in such acceptance of a cure or waiver of an Event of Default shall be deemed
to constitute a waiver by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of any other, or continuing, Event of
Default or any right, remedy or recourse which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have as a
result of such other, or continuing, Event of Default.
ARTICLE 12

Section 12.2 Amendments, Waivers, Etc.
(1) Subject to any consents required pursuant to this Section 12.2 and any other
provisions of this Agreement and any other Loan Document which expressly require the consent,
approval or authorization of each of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, this
Agreement and any other Loan Document may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in
writing signed by Borrower and Administrative Agent; provided that:
(a) Administrative Agent will not, without the consent of each Lender, agree to the following
(provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are
otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents): (i) reduce, discount or otherwise
adjust the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon; (ii) extend any
stated Payment Date (including but not limited to the Maturity Date) for principal of or interest
on the Loans payable to such Lender; (iii) release or forgive Borrower, any Guarantor or any other
party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to
Section 12.24 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.8);
(iv) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as
security for the Loans or agree to the replacement or substitution of collateral; (v) modify any of
the provisions of this Section 12.2 or Section 14.8, the definition of “Majority
Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of
Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any agreement, request,
direction, instruction or determination or grant any consent thereunder; (vi) modify the terms of
any Event of Default; or (vii) consent to (A) the sale, transfer or encumbrance of any portion of
the Properties or any Individual Property (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect
ownership interest therein and (B) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional Indebtedness
secured by the Properties or any Individual Property; in each case, subject to any standard of
reasonability required under the Loan Documents.
(b) Administrative Agent will not, without the consent of the Majority Lenders: (i) declare
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Loans to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 11.2, (ii) exercise any rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and at law or in
equity, including power of sale or judicial foreclosure against all or any portion of the
collateral or (iii) amend, modify or release any of the financial covenants of any Guarantor set
forth in any Guaranty.
(c) Except as set forth above, Administrative Agent may (without any Lender’s consent) give or
withhold its agreement to any amendments of the Loan Documents or any waivers or consents in
respect thereof and may exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or remedies which
Administrative Agent may have under the Loan Documents or
otherwise so long as such actions will not, in Administrative Agent’s judgment reasonably
exercised, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on any Individual Property, or
represent a departure from Administrative Agent’s standard of care described in
Section 14.5 (and the assignment or granting of a participation by Eurohypo shall not limit
or otherwise affect its discretion in respect of any of the foregoing).
117
(2) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, any modification or
supplement of Article 14, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent
hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent.
Section 12.3 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform
strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, Administrative
Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loans are hereby expressly limited so that in no event,
whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender or charged by any Lender for the use, forbearance or
detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the Maximum Legal Rate. If the
Loans would be usurious under Applicable Law (including the laws of any State and the laws of the
United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents:
(1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is
contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no
circumstances exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the
holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if
maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent in accordance with the
terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest
may never include more than the Maximum Legal Rate. In such case, excess interest, if any,
provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall
be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that
the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof and never exceeds the Maximum Legal
Rate. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under Applicable
Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration
or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been
paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 shall
control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. If at any time the laws of the
United States of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a
higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of any State (whether such federal laws
directly so provide or refer to the law of any State), then such federal laws shall to such extent
govern as to the rate of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or
receive under the Loan Documents.
Section 12.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, the Loan Documents shall be
construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a
part thereof, the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be
affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom, and in
lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a
part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.
Section 12.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Administrative Agent
and/or the Lenders within five (5) days after receipt of an invoice setting forth in reasonable
detail: (1) all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative
Agent in connection with the Loans, including reasonable fees and expenses of Administrative
Agent’s attorneys, environmental, engineering and other consultants,
118
and fees, charges or taxes for
the negotiation, recording or filing of Loan Documents, (2) except as otherwise provided in this
Loan Agreement, all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket third-party expenses of Administrative
Agent in connection with the administration of the Loans, including audit costs, reasonable
inspection fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursement, settlement of Awards and Insurance
Proceeds, and premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, (3) all of Administrative
Agent’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and
disbursements of Administrative Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the
pre-closing Syndication of the Loans to the Lenders, and (4) Administrative Agent and the Lenders
for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default to collect the Notes, or to enforce the rights of Administrative
Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to defend or assert the
rights and claims of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect
to any Individual Property (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all
court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and
investigation expenses as may be incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection
with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the
Applicable Interest Rate, or if applicable, the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of
disbursement until the date of reimbursement to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which
shall constitute part of the Loans and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
Section 12.6 Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised
by Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other
matters are solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or
construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other
purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole
and exclusive use of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor
relied upon, by any Person other than Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. All
conditions of the obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including the
obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that the Lenders will refuse to
make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other
Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and
all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent and the Lenders at
any time in their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 12.7 Lenders and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the
covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give
Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or
management of Borrower, the power of Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the
rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents. The
relationship between Borrower and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that
of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it
be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in
profits or income between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower or to create an equity in
the Property or any Individual Property in Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative
119
Agent and the Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any
other Person with respect to the Property, any Individual Property or the Loans, except as
expressly provided in the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan
Documents: (1) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is, nor shall be construed as, a
partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling Person or other business associate or
participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and neither
Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (2) no Lender or
Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable for any Indebtedness, expenses or losses incurred
or sustained by Borrower; and (3) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall be deemed responsible for
or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or
partners. Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any
partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Administrative
Agent, the Lenders and Borrower, or to create an equity in the Property or any Individual Property
in Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.
Section 12.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
Section 12.9 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24, this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
Borrower and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
Section 12.10 Renewal, Extension or Rearrangement. All provisions of the Loan Documents shall
apply with equal effect to each and all promissory notes and amendments thereof hereinafter
executed which in whole or in part represent a renewal, extension, increase or rearrangement of the
Loans. For portfolio management purposes, the Lenders may elect to divide the Loans into two or
more separate loans evidenced by separate promissory notes so long as the payment and other
obligations of Borrower are not effectively increased or otherwise modified. Borrower agrees to
cooperate with Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to execute such documents as Administrative
Agent reasonably may request to effect such division of the Loans.
Section 12.11 Waivers. No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent or any
Lender, their officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by
Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of
Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver
thereof except as specifically set forth in this Loan Agreement.
Section 12.12 Cumulative Rights. Rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders
under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such
right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.
Section 12.13 Singular and Plural. Words used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
in the singular, where the context so permits, shall be deemed to include the plural and vice
versa. The definitions of words in the singular in this Agreement and the other Loan
120
Documents
shall apply to such words when used in the plural where the context so permits and vice versa.
Section 12.14 Phrases. When used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the phrase
“including” shall mean “including, but not limited to,” the phrases “satisfactory to any Lender” or
“satisfactory to Administrative Agent” shall mean in form and substance satisfactory to such Lender
or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in all respects, the phrases “with Lender’s consent”,
“with Lender’s approval”, “with Administrative Agent’s consent” or “with Administrative Agent’s
approval” shall mean such consent or approval at Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s, as the case
may be, discretion, the phrases “acceptable to Lender” or “acceptable to Administrative Agent”
shall mean acceptable to Lender or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, at such party’s sole
and absolute discretion, and the phrase “unreasonably withheld” shall mean “unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed.”
Section 12.15 Exhibits and Schedules. The exhibits and schedules attached to this Agreement
are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes stated
herein, provided however, until a Future Advance Property is the subject of a Future Advance, the
information pertaining to such Future Advance Property contained on the exhibits and schedules
attached hereto and in all other Loan Documents and the covenants, representations and warranties
of Persons who own Properties not subject to the lien of the Mortgage shall be disregarded.
Section 12.16 Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections. All titles or headings to
articles, sections, subsections or other divisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
or the exhibits hereto and thereto are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be
construed to have any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles,
sections, subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the agreement
between the parties hereto.
Section 12.17 Publicity; Confidential Information. All news releases, publicity or
advertising by Guarantor, Borrower, Administrative Agent, Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which identifies the other party
in connection with the Loans (other than disclosures required pursuant to any Legal Requirements
applicable Guarantor, Borrower, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates) shall be subject to the prior written approval of the other party which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, provided, however the foregoing shall not apply to a Syndication,
“pitch books” of Administrative Agent or any Lender or to “tombstones” placed in media outlets
common in the commercial mortgage finance arena, in each case limited to general information about
the Loan. Administrative Agent and the Lenders each hereby agree that, without the prior written
consent of Borrower, any written information relating to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower
which is provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the making of the Loan
which is either confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not generally available to the public (but
excluding information Administrative Agent or any Lender has obtained independently from
third-party sources without Administrative Agent’s or
such Lender’s knowledge that the source has violated any fiduciary or other duty not to
disclose such information) (the “Confidential Information”), will be kept confidential by
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, using the same standard of care in safeguarding the
Confidential
121
Information as Administrative Agent and the Lenders employ in protecting their own
proprietary information which Administrative Agent or such Lender desires not to disseminate or
publish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disseminated (a) pursuant
to the requirements of applicable law, (b) pursuant to judicial process, administrative agency
process, applicable regulatory authority or order of Governmental Authority, (c) in connection with
litigation, arbitration proceedings or administrative proceedings involving Administrative Agent or
any Lender before or by any Governmental Authority or stock exchange, (d) to Administrative Agent’s
or any Lender’s attorneys, accountants, advisors and actual or prospective financing sources who
will be instructed to comply with this Section 12.17, (e) to actual or prospective
assignees, pledgees, Participants, agents or servicers in a Syndication, provided that such Persons
agree to abide by the same standards of confidentiality imposed on Administrative Agent and the

trading system on which the securities of Administrative Agent, any Lender or their respective
Affiliates may be listed or traded. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision, any party
(and its employee, representative or other agent) may disclose to any and all persons, without
limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the tax treatment and tax structure of the
transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax
analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For
purposes of this Section 12.17, Confidential Information will not be deemed to include the
Loan amount, the street address and common name, if any, of the Property, the name of Guarantor or
Borrower and photographs or other depictions of the Property.
Section 12.18 Survival. Except to the extent specifically set forth herein or in the other
Loan Documents, all of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower
hereunder (the obligations under Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(5) and 2.9(6)), and
under the indemnification provisions of the other Loan Documents shall survive until the earlier of
(a) the repayment in full of the Loans or (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Property or
any Individual Property to any party, whether or not an Affiliate of Borrower.
Section 12.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY
KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY
LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN)
OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY OR ANY EXERCISE BY ANY PARTY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS UNDER THE LOAN
DOCUMENTS OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE LOANS OR ANY INDIVIDUAL PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT, AND ANY CLAIM OR DEFENSE ASSERTING THAT
THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A
MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER TO ENTER THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 12.20 Remedies of Borrower. It is expressly understood and agreed that,
notwithstanding any Applicable Law or any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
122
Documents
to the contrary, the liability of Administrative Agent and each Lender (including their respective
successors and assigns) and any recourse of Borrower against Administrative Agent and each Lender
shall be limited solely and exclusively to their respective interests in the Loans and/or
Commitments or the Properties or any Individual Property at the time that such obligation or
liability accrued and no such obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall
resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Administrative Agent’s or any
Lender’s shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents, regardless of whether such
obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise. Without limiting the
foregoing, in the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Administrative Agent, any of the
Lenders, or their agents, acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by
Applicable Law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent, any
Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, or
otherwise violated this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower agrees that none of
Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their agents shall be liable for any incidental, indirect,
special, punitive, consequential or speculative damages or losses resulting from such failure to
act reasonably or promptly in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

AND LENDERS AND ACCEPTED BY BORROWER IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE PROCEEDS OF THE NOTES

contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral
agreements between the parties. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between the Commitment
Letter and this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall
control.

which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
124
Section 12.24 Assignments and Participations.
(1) Assignments by Borrower. Except as may be permitted pursuant to Article 9, Borrower may
not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior consent
of all of the Lenders and Administrative Agent.
(2) Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its
Commitment (but only, except as specifically set forth below, with (A) the consent of
Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (B) the consent of
Borrower, provided however that the consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld and
shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing);
provided that:
(a) no such consent by Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be required in the case of any
assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender
(provided that in the case of an assignment to any such Affiliate, unless the assignee is
an Eligible Assignee, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan
Documents and Administrative Agent and Borrower may continue to deal only with such assigning
Lender);
(b) except to the extent Administrative Agent and Borrower (such consent of Borrower shall not
be unreasonably withheld and provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall otherwise consent, any such partial
assignment (other than to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at
least equal to $10,000,000;
(c) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same
portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;
(d) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c)
above, Administrative Agent’s consent and Borrower’s consent to an assignment shall not be
unreasonably withheld (provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) if (i) such assignment is made to an Eligible
Assignee and provided further that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
such assignment may be made to any Person, and (ii) the provisions of clause (e) have been
satisfied;
(e) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and
Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee agrees to
become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in
such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by
Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the
Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans,
if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and ,except as provided in Section 12.24(2)(a),
the assigning Lender shall, to the extent
125
of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each
such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee
of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in
connection therewith; and
(f) no such assignment shall be to an assignee who, on the date such assignment becomes
effective, is subject to compensation pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of Section 2.9(1)
hereof or the additional compensation described in Section 2.9(6) hereof.
(3) Participations.
(a) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a
“Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its
Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall remain unchanged and unaffected thereby, (B) such Lender shall remain solely
responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (C) Borrower,
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents; (D) such Participant is an Eligible Assignee, provided that if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing such Participant is not required to be an Eligible Assignee
and (E) such Participant is not a Competitor of Borrower. In no event shall a Lender that sells a
participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or
under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will
not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such
Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the
related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce
the amount of any such payment of principal or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable
thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the
Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee. Subject to subsection (3)(b) of
this Section 12.24, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits
of Sections 2.9(1) and 2.9(6) (without duplication of the benefits afforded to the
applicable lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by
assignment pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section 12.24. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section
12.24 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject
to this Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender.
(b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that is a
non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of
Section 2.9(6) unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(6) as
though it were a Lender.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the term Lender include a
Participant.
126
(4) Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the
foregoing provisions of this Section 12.24 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender
may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of
any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank
as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal
Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such
assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(5) Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any
information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party, any of their respective Affiliates, the
Property or any Individual Property in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees
and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants); provided, however, that no
Lender may provide any such information to a Participant that is a Competitor of Borrower.
(6) Pfandbreif Pledges. Each Lender may pledge any or all of their interest in the Loan to
the bondholders (as a collective whole), or their nominee, collateral agent or security trustee,
under, or the trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents
or collateral trustees) of, a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by a German
mortgage bank, or by any other Person meeting the eligibility requirements and permitted to issue
covered mortgage bonds, under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and
in effect from time to time, or any substitute or successor legislation.
(7) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 12.24 to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it
hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.
Section 12.25 Brokers. Borrower hereby represents to Administrative Agent and each Lender
that Borrower has not dealt with any broker, underwriters, placement agent, or finder in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby
agrees to indemnify and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and
all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a
claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection with the
transactions contemplated herein.
Section 12.26 Right of Set-off.
(1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the
Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this
Section 12.26, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to
Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted
by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) at any time held, and other Indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its
offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of
127
Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter
existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender
shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured
and such deposits or Indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the
exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or
other Indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in any other state with certain laws
restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in
significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect
of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of
set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or
special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other Indebtedness owing by such Lender
to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of
Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.
(2) Provided that the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Majority
Lenders is obtained pursuant to Section 12.26(1) above, each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower
and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure
to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of
the Lenders under this Section 12.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
(3) If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the
stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any
payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or
otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on
account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
Section 12.27 Intentionally Deleted.
Section 12.28 Cooperation with Syndication. Borrower acknowledges that Arranger intends to
syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in
connection therewith, Borrower will take all actions as Arranger may reasonably request to assist
Arranger in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower
shall, at the request of Arranger (i) reasonably facilitate the review of the Loan and each
Individual Property by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist Arranger and otherwise cooperate with
Arranger in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include
reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof);
(iii) deliver updated information on Borrower and the Property; (iv) make representatives of
Borrower available to meet with prospective Lenders at tours of each Individual Property and bank
meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and
any prospective Lender; and (vi) provide Arranger with all information reasonably deemed necessary
by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Borrower agrees to take such further action, in
connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to
effect such Syndication.
128
Section 12.29 Borrower Representative. Borrower may replace the Borrower Representative from
time to time in it sole discretion upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE 13
LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
Section 13.1 Limitation on Liability. Except as provided below, Borrower shall not be
personally liable for amounts due under the Loan Documents. Borrower (but not any partner, member,
shareholder, employee, directors or officer of Borrower other than Guarantor or MD Guarantor) shall
be personally liable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any deficiency, loss or damage
suffered by Administrative Agent or any Lender because of:
(1) Borrower’s commission of a criminal act;
(2) if a Prohibited Transfer shall occur except as specifically permitted by the terms of this
Agreement;
(3) the misapplication by Borrower or any Borrower Party of any funds derived from any
Individual Property, including security deposits, Rents, Insurance Proceeds and Awards except to
the extent applied to the costs of maintenance and operation of any Individual Property and to the
payment of taxes, lien claims, Insurance Premiums, Debt Service and other amounts due under the
Loan Documents;
(4) the fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Borrower Party made in or in
connection with the Loan Documents or the Loan;
(5) Borrower’s interference in any material respect with Administrative Agent’s exercise of
rights under the Assignment of Leases;
(6) to the extent that Operating Revenues are sufficient therefore and Borrower nonetheless
fails to pay the same, Borrower’s failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement or to
pay any Taxes or Other Charges affecting any Individual Property or any mortgage recording or
similar taxes required to be paid by any Person in connection with the execution, delivery,
recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents;
(7) damage or destruction to any Individual Property caused by the intentional acts or
omissions of Borrower or any of its Affiliates; or
(8) Borrower’s obligations with respect to environmental matters under the Environmental
Indemnity.
None of the foregoing limitations on the personal liability of Borrower shall modify, diminish or
discharge the personal liability of any Guarantor.
129
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents,
(A) neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any right which
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other
provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such sections may be amended, to file a claim
for the full amount due to Administrative Agent or such Lender under the Loan Documents or to
require that all collateral shall continue to secure the amounts due under the Loan Documents, and
(B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (I) there is a default under
Section 7.13, which results in the substantive consolidation of Borrower with another
Person; (II) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy
Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (III) any Person (other than
Administrative Agent or any Lender) filing an involuntary petition against Borrower, MD Guarantor
or Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law
in which Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliate colludes with, or
otherwise assists, such Person (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender), (IV) Borrower, MD
Guarantor or Guarantor filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any
involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person (other than Administrative Agent or any
Lender) 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 (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender); (V) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor
consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian,
receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor or any portion of any
Individual Property; or (VI) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor making an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or
inability to pay its debts as they become due.
Section 13.2 Joint and Several. Subject to Section 13.1, each of the Borrowers shall
be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Debt and performance of all other obligations of
Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 13.3 Contribution Among Borrowers. Notwithstanding that the Borrowers are jointly and
severally liable to Lender for payment of the Loan, subject to Section 13.1, as among the
Borrowers, each shall be liable only for such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount (as hereinafter
defined) and, accordingly, each Borrower whose Collateral or other assets are, from time to time,
utilized to satisfy a portion of the Debt in excess of such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount, shall
be entitled, commencing 95 days after payment in full of the Debt, to contribution from each of the
other Borrowers pro-rata in accordance with their respective liabilities in accordance with this
Agreement. As used herein, “Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount” means each Borrower’s
proportionate share of the outstanding Principal amount of the Loan based on the Allocated Loan
Amount attributed to the Individual Properties owned by such Borrower. Therefore, as of the date
hereof, each Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount is equal to the Allocated Loan Amount for such
Borrower set forth on Exhibit A, and each Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount shall be
proportionately reduced each time a Principal payment is made towards the Loan. Nothing in this
Section 13.3 is intended or shall be deemed to affect the Partial Release Price payable in
connection with any release pursuant to Section 2.6(1) hereof.
130
ARTICLE 14
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 14.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes
Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such
powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of
the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 14.5 and the first
sentence of Section 14.6 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’
officers, directors, employees and agents):
(a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an
agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any
fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other
Lender;
(b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or
other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or
sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other document referred
to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform
any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;
(c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or
under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for
herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent any such action
taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence
of Section 14.5;
(d) shall not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect
to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any
litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and
(e) shall calculate the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for each calendar quarter based on the
financial information provided by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and provide such calculation
available to each Lender;
(f) shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or Applicable Law.
The relationship between Administrative Agent and each Lender is a contractual relationship only,
and nothing herein shall be deemed to impose on Administrative Agent any obligations other than
those for which express provision is made herein or in the other Loan Documents.
131
Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and may delegate all or any part of
its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact or third parties selected by it in good faith.
Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes
hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with
Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of
Section 12.24. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 14.8, the
provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the
provisions hereof and the Lenders may modify or waive such provisions of this Article 14 in
their sole and absolute discretion.
Section 14.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof
by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and
to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative
Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting,
hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such
instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall
be binding on all of the Lenders.
Section 14.3 Defaults.
(1) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower
specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In
the event that Administrative Agent receives such a Notice of Default, Administrative Agent shall
give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such Notice of
Default from Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative
Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other
to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to
Section 14.7) take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed
by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) in the event that the Majority Lenders fail to
timely provide directions to Administrative Agent with respect to the Event of Default,
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, including decisions (1) to make protective advances that Administrative Agent
determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Properties or any Individual Property and (2)
exercise any remedy available under the Loan Documents or applicable law, with respect to such
Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent
that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the
consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may
be, and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders or by all Lenders shall violate the Loan
Documents or Applicable Law. Each of the Lenders acknowledges and agrees that no individual Lender
may separately enforce or exercise any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents (including
the Notes) other than through Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders
of all material actions
which Administrative Agent takes in
132
accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the
Lenders with respect to all of such actions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or
additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, including
the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be
taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent;
provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this
Section 14.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other than money
subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) received from any enforcement actions, including
the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Properties or any Individual Property, shall be applied,
first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Agency Fee to
the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment
or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this
Article 14; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances
made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); and fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in
accordance with their respective proportionate shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to
Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such
proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special
Advance Lender.
(2) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other
sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be borne by the
Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans. All losses incurred
in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor,
shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan,
and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Agent their respective
proportionate shares of (i) any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any
Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay
taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and
protect the Properties or any Individual Property, whether or not the amount necessary to be
advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgage, (iii) any other expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses
incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower. To
the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or
the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after
deduction of the expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
(3) If, pursuant to the terms of this Article XIV, any action(s) is brought to collect on the
Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the
extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is
brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on
all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and
counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and
cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of
a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the
133
conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such action and the
settlement of such action shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of any
such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate
shares.
(4) If, pursuant to the terms of this Article XIV, any action(s) is brought to foreclose the
Mortgage, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the
court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgage and collect on the Notes.
Counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and
cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of
a receiver, the conduct of such foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the
bid on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the foreclosure sale of the Properties or
any Individual Property, the manner of taking and holding title to the Properties or any Individual
Property (other than as set forth in subsection (5) below), the sale of the Properties or
any Individual Property after foreclosure, and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency
judgment proceeding shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of foreclosure
will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares.
(5) If title is acquired to the Properties or any Individual Property after a foreclosure sale
or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Agent in its own name in
trust for the Lenders or, at Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned
subsidiary of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
(6) If Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Properties or any
Individual Property or is entitled to possession of the Properties or such Individual Property
during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership,
development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Properties or
such Individual Property shall be made by Administrative Agent. All income or other money received
after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Properties or such Individual Property,
including income from the operation and management of the Properties or such Individual Property
and the proceeds of a sale of the Properties or such Individual Property, shall be applied,
first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in
accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Agency Fee to
the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment
of Operating Expenses with respect to the Properties or such Individual Property; third, to
the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Properties or such Individual
Property; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made
pursuant to Section 14.3(2); fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and
other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate
shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such
Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be
applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
134
Section 14.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by
Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder
shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as
though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless
the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo
(and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to
account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind
of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not
acting as Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its Affiliates may accept fees and other
consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without
having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Section 14.5 Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Loan
Documents, Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in
connection with real estate loans in which no syndication or participations are involved, but
Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly
provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct which resulted in
actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no
responsibility to any Lender for the failure by Administrative Agent to comply with any of
Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise. The Lenders
agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.5,
but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5) ratably in accordance
with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the
time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any
investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses
that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 12.5, but excluding, unless a Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the
performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of
the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care
set forth in the first sentence of this Section.
Section 14.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that
it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of
Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will,
independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such
documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan
Document. Subject to the provisions of the first sentence of Section 14.5, Administrative
Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the
135
performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or
any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or to inspect any Individual
Property or the books of Borrower or any of its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other
documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent
hereunder or as otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of its
Affiliates that may come into the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Section 14.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent
hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully
justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further
assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under
Section 14.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action.
Section 14.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time
by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, and the Majority Lenders (other than
Administrative Agent) may remove Administrative Agent at any time for gross negligence or wilful
misconduct by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice and cure period to
Administrative Agent, Borrower and all other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be (i)
Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC , or (ii) a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible
Assignee and, prior to an Event of Default, is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving
of notice of resignation or its receipt of notice of removal, then the retiring or removed
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that
shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence.
Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired)
Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this
Section 14.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be
the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such
successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative
Agent, the provision of this Article 14 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect
for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as
Administrative Agent.
Section 14.9 Consents under Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may as expressly provided in
the Loan Documents and, if not expressly provided, with the consent of the Majority Lenders (a)
grant any consent or approval required of it or (b) consent to any modification, supplement or
waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to
Section 14.3. If Administrative Agent solicits any consents or
136
approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents (other than under Section 14.3
hereof, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give
Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided
that, other than with respect to the decisions by the Lenders under Section 12.2(1)(a), if
any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have
authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was
the subject of Administrative Agent’s solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such
solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall
include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and
shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect
thereof. Borrower and such successor. With regard to any action described in this Section
14.9 for which Lender’s consent is required, Administrative Agent shall submit such request for
Lender’s approval in an envelope labeled “Priority” and delivered to Lender by overnight delivery
and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 and which request shall
state at the top of the first page in bold lettering in 14 pt. font “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED
WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT
AND YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND MAY BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE YOUR CONSENT TO THE ACTION FOR WHICH YOUR
CONSENT IS SOLICITED.”
Section 14.10 Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to
execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which
Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of
the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be
entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative
Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of
authorization of same.
Section 14.11 Agency Fee. So long as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full
of all obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay
to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee. The Agency Fee shall be payable
quarterly in advance commencing on the Closing Date of the Initial Advance pursuant to the Fee
Letter.
Section 14.12 Defaulting Lenders.
(1) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any
respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate
share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Properties, any Individual Property or the Lien
of the Security Documents, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or
a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided
that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender, Borrower and Administrative Agent prior notice of its
intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be
exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of
the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such
other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender
making all or any portion of the Defaulting
137
Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with
the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.
(2) In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender
shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior
participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or
disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate,
if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or
any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and
agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and
expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect
the Properties or any Individual Property, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the
proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender
shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced
Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any
repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender
shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance
Lender at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
(3) A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative
Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any
party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the
Advanced Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the
Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the
Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the fact that
the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if
applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation.
Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation,
Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other
sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior
participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal
and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders,
shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior
participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such
distributions.
(4) A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind
paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security
therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting
Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a
trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the
Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent
of the Unpaid Amount.
138
(5) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of
the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may
sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its
obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting
Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of
Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts
due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (3) above, set-off
against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent and the
other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
Section 14.13 Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any
liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than
Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any
Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any
other Loan Document.
Section 14.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender,
Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative
Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
