ARTICLE II - GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loan has been fully funded as of the Closing Date.
2.1.3 The Note, Pledge Agreement and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan solely to (a) make an equity contribution to Mortgage Borrower in order to cause Mortgage Borrower to use such amounts for any use permitted pursuant to Section 2.1.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (b) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender and (c) retain the balance, if any.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Interest Rate or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement from (and including) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual
27
number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Borrower acknowledges that the calculation method for interest described herein results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric Interest Rate and Borrower hereby agrees to this calculation method.
2.2.3 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (including the failure of Borrower to make full payment on the Maturity Date), Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the Default Rate but in no event greater than the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Interest shall accrue and be payable at the Default Rate from the occurrence of an Event of Default until all Events of Default have been waived in writing by Lender in its discretion. Such accrued interest shall be added to the Outstanding Principal Balance, and interest shall accrue thereon at the Default Rate until fully paid. Such accrued interest shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that Lender’s right to collect interest at the Default Rate is given for the purpose of compensating Lender at reasonable amounts for Lender’s added costs and expenses that occur as a result of Borrower’s default and that are difficult to predict in amount, such as increased general overhead, concentration of management resources on problem loans, and increased cost of funds. Lender and Borrower agree that Lender’s collection of interest at the Default Rate is not a fine or penalty, but is intended to be and shall be deemed to be reasonable compensation to Lender for increased costs and expenses that Lender will incur if there occurs an Event of Default hereunder. Collection of interest at the Default Rate shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the Maturity Date or to limit or impair any rights and remedies of Lender under any Loan Documents. If judgment is entered on this Note, interest shall continue to accrue post-judgment at the greater of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the applicable statutory judgment rate.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment. Payments of principal, interest and Late Charges (as defined in the Note) shall be made as provided in the Note.
28

On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest that would have accrued on such amount through the next Payment Date. Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid to Borrower. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5(a) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date.
(b) Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of an Individual Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.5(b) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of the Property set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Section 2.6 Lockbox Account/Cash Management.
2.6.1 Lockbox Account.
(a) During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to establish and maintain the Lockbox Account with Lockbox Bank in trust for the benefit of Mortgage Lender, which Lockbox Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Mortgage Lender. The Lockbox Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall not be commingled with other monies held by Mortgage Borrower, Manager or Lockbox Bank.

2.6.2 Cash Management.
(a) During the term of the Loan, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to establish and maintain the Mortgage Cash Management Account and the other accounts in which the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds are held in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents (collectively, the “Mortgage Loan Accounts”), which Mortgage Loan Accounts shall be under the sole dominion and control of Mortgage Lender. Borrower shall not cause or permit Mortgage Borrower in any way to alter or modify the Mortgage Loan Accounts and shall notify Lender of the account numbers thereof. Mortgage Lender shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Mortgage Loan Accounts to be applied in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(b) As of the date hereof, pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents (and subject to the terms thereof), on each Payment Date, after payment of all sums due and payable to Mortgage Lender, so long as no Mortgage Loan Default has occurred and is continuing, the then-current Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due and payable under the Loan Documents shall be paid to Lender via federal wire transfer or automatic clearing house funds (“ACH”) from the Mortgage Cash Management Account to the Mezzanine Collection Account and maintained in accordance with the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement. Borrower shall also direct or cause Mortgage Borrower to direct all Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited into the Mezzanine Collection Account.
(c) As a condition to (i) the satisfaction of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) Lender’s approval of a new Mortgage Loan, or (iii) in the event that the Mortgage Lender no longer requires the Mortgage Cash Management Agreement and related lockbox agreement (“Mortgage Cash Management System”), Borrower shall enter into and/or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into a substitute lockbox agreement with Lender, acceptable to Lender, that shall direct all Rents to be deposited directly by the Tenants or payors thereof (or, if received by Mortgage Borrower or Manager, by such Persons) into the Mezzanine Collection Account or other account designated by Lender (the “Substitute CMA Agreement”) on substantially the same terms as the lockbox agreement entered into as of the date hereof in connection with the Mortgage Loan. Borrower’s failure to: (A) provide Lender with timely notice of any termination of the Mortgage Cash Management System, (B) in the case of (i) or (ii) above, receive Lender’s consent prior to termination of the Mortgage Cash Management System, or (C) promptly
30
cause Mortgage Borrower and Manager to enter into the Substitute CMA Agreement, shall be an immediate Event of Default hereunder (without the need for notice or any right to cure) and entitle Lender to exercise its rights hereunder in the event of such an Event of Default. To the extent that the Mortgage Loan (or a refinancing thereof) requires that all Rents be deposited directly into a lockbox account controlled by Mortgage Lender (or a refinancing mortgage lender), then the Substitute CMA Agreement shall be entered into for the benefit of the Mortgage Lender and provide that all Rents, after payment of any sums due and payable under the Mortgage Loan (or refinancing loan documents) shall be paid by federal wire transfer or ACH to the Mezzanine Collection Account. Borrower hereby irrevocably directs and authorizes Lender to withdraw funds from the Mezzanine Collection Account and any lockbox account established under a Substitute CMA Agreement all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and the Substitute CMA Agreement and this Agreement. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal in respect of the Mezzanine Collection Account or any account established under a Substitute CMA Agreement. Each transfer of funds to be made hereunder shall be made only to the extent that funds are on deposit in the Mezzanine Collection Account, and Lender shall have no responsibility to make additional funds available in the event that funds on deposit are insufficient.
2.6.3 Mezzanine Collection Account.
(a) Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Mezzanine Collection Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and shall take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Mezzanine Collection Account, including filing UCC financing statements and continuations thereof. Borrower shall not in any way alter or modify the Mezzanine Collection Account. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Mezzanine Collection Account shall be paid by Borrower. This Agreement, together with the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement and other Loan Documents, creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware and New York) in the Mezzanine Collection Account in favor of Lender, which security interest is prior to all other Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances, and is enforceable as such against creditors of and purchasers from Borrower. The Mezzanine Collection Account constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware.
(b) On the Closing Date Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to enter into an irrevocable direction letter to Mortgage Lender, instructing Mortgage Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount to Lender to be deposited into the Mezzanine Collection Account, to the extent funds are available for such purpose in the Mezzanine Loan Reserve Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) pursuant to Lender’s instructions.
31
(c) Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower nor any other Person shall have any right, title or interest in or to any of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount from and after the time at which the Mortgage Lender becomes obligated under the Mortgage Loan Documents to transfer the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount to Lender. No accounts shall be maintained by Mortgage Borrower, Borrower or any other Person with respect to the collection of rents, revenues, proceeds or other income from the Property or for the collection of Rents, except for the Lockbox Account, the Mortgage Loan Mortgage Cash Management Account, and the Mezzanine Collection Account.
(d) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, any funds on deposit in the Mezzanine Collection Account and all other funds received by Lender in respect of the Loan, shall be disbursed and applied in such order and such manner as Lender shall elect in its discretion. If Borrower shall at any time receive any Rents other than in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower shall hold all such payments in trust for Lender, shall not co-mingle such payments with other funds of Borrower, and shall immediately pay and deliver in kind, all such payments directly to Lender for application by Lender in accordance with this Agreement.
(e) Borrower hereby agrees for the benefit of itself and Mortgage Borrower that all payments actually received by Lender shall be deemed payments to Borrower by Mortgage Borrower. Lender shall apply any and all such payments actually received by Lender for application in accordance with this Agreement.
(f) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Mezzanine Collection Account shall not relieve Borrower from 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.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, organizational document, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, arbitrations, or governmental investigations by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending, filed, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Mortgage Borrower or the Property or any portion thereof, which actions, suits or proceedings, or governmental investigations, if determined against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or the Property or any portion thereof, might materially adversely affect (a) title to the Property or any portion thereof; (b) Borrower’s ability to perform under the Loan; (c) Guarantor’s ability to perform under the Guaranty; (d) the use, operation or value of the Property or any portion thereof; (e) the principal benefit of the Collateral or other security intended to be provided by the Loan Documents; (f) the current principal use of the Property or any portion thereof; or (g) the current ability of the Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the Loan or the Mortgage Loan.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower, the Collateral, or the Property (or any portion thereof), or Mortgage Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.
33
Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral, or the Property (or any portion thereof) is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property (or any portion thereof) is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents and Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.
4.1.6 UCC Insurance; Mezzanine Lender Endorsement. The Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC financing statements relating to the Collateral, will create a valid lien on and security interest in and to, the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof. Mortgage Borrower’s policy of owner’s title insurance includes a “mezzanine lender’s endorsement.”
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
34
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
4.1.10 Compliance. Each of Mortgage Borrower, Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Mortgage Borrower is not, in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property. On the Closing Date, the Improvements at the Property were in material compliance with applicable law.

All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Collateral, and the Property, as applicable, as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Property (or any portion thereof) or the current operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower, or to Borrower’s best knowledge, the Mortgage Borrower, from that set forth in said financial statements.

The Loan Documents are enforceable by Lender (or any subsequent holder thereof) in accordance with their respective terms, subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally applicable to creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.16 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of the Collateral that are presently outstanding except in accordance with the Loan Documents.
4.1.17 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certified copies of the Policies (or other evidence acceptable to Lender) reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement.

4.1.18 Leases. The Property is not subject to any leases other than the Leases described in the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule I and made a part hereof, which rent roll is true, complete and accurate in all respects as of the Closing Date.

No Person has any possessory interest in the Property (or any portion thereof) or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases are in full force and effect and there are no defaults thereunder by either party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults thereunder.
36

No Tenant listed on Schedule I has assigned its Lease or sublet all or any portion of the premises demised thereby, no such Tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease, nor does anyone except such Tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises. No 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. No Tenant under any Lease has any right or option for additional space in the Improvements.

ARTICLE V - BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all Debt or the earlier release of the Liens under the Pledge Agreement encumbering the Collateral (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits, authorizations, and franchises, and cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with
39
all Legal Requirements. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall never permit Mortgage Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to, and agrees to not permit Mortgage Borrower to, commit, permit or suffer to exist or cause any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and cause Mortgage Borrower to preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep such property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request, cause Mortgage Borrower to provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with all Legal Requirements or is exempt from compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Legal Requirements and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Legal Requirements. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable. Borrower shall deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other
40
Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower need not pay or cause Mortgage Borrower to pay Taxes directly nor furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes to the extent that funds to pay for such Taxes have been deposited with the Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall cause the prompt payment for all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may permit Mortgage Borrower to contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) neither the Property, the Collateral, nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall cause the prompt payment, upon final determination thereof, of 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; (vi) Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to have set aside adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless such Taxes have been paid under protest; and (vii) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Mortgage Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon.
5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and/or Guarantor which might materially adversely affect Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s, or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business, the Property (or any portion thereof), or the Collateral.

5.1.9 Principal Place of Business, State of Organization. Borrower shall not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity (including its trade name or names), place of organization or formation or Borrower’s corporate or partnership or other structure unless Borrower shall have first notified Lender in writing of such change at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action required by Lender for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the lien and security interests of Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be given or denied in Lender’s discretion. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver additional security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Property (or any portion thereof) as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization. Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrower keeps its books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium or recording, including software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, has been for the preceding four months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Borrower) and will continue to be the address of Borrower set forth at the introductory paragraph of this Agreement (unless Borrower notifies Lender in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such change).

Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.

If after giving effect to any such Transfer, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in Borrower or Guarantor are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such party as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of any such Transfer, deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies.

(xiv) New Borrower delivers to Lender, without any cost or expense to Lender, such endorsements to Lender’s “Eagle 9” or “UCC Plus” (or equivalent) insurance policy which insures Lender’s lien in the New Collateral, hazard insurance policy endorsements or certificates and other similar materials as Lender may reasonably deem necessary at the time of the Proposed Loan Assumption, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; and
(xv) Lender may, as a condition to evaluating any requested consent to a transfer, require that Borrower post a cash deposit with Lender in an amount equal to Lender’s anticipated costs and expenses in evaluating any such request for consent.
The foregoing release shall be effective upon the date of such Transfer, but Lender agrees to provide written evidence thereof reasonably requested by Borrower.
(f) Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 5.2.9 to the contrary, limited partnership or membership interests, as applicable, in Borrower may be transferred without Lender’s consent and without application of the fee set forth in Section 5.2.9(e)(viii): (i) among limited partners or members, as applicable, of Borrower who are limited partners or members, as applicable, of Borrower as of the date of this Agreement (each a “Current Owner”), and (ii) to
56
immediate family members (which shall be limited to a spouse, parent, child and grandchild (each, an “Immediate Family Member”)), of any Current Owner or to trusts formed for the benefit of Immediate Family Members of such Current Owner for bona fide estate planning purposes (each, an “Additional Permitted Transfer”), provided each of the following conditions is satisfied: (A) no Event of Default has occurred and no event has occurred that with notice and/or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default; (B) Lender has received Borrower’s notice of the Additional Permitted Transfer no less than 30 days prior to the commencement of such transfer; (C) no Indemnitor or Guarantor shall be released from any guaranty or indemnity agreement by virtue of the Additional Permitted Transfer; (D) Borrower shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of documenting the Additional Permitted Transfer; (E) Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all actual costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the Additional Permitted Transfer, whether or not consummated; (F) once the Additional Permitted Transfer is complete, the persons with Control of Borrower and management of the Property are the same persons who have such Control and management rights immediately prior to the Additional Permitted Transfer; (G) Borrower shall furnish Lender copies of any documentation executed in connection with the Additional Permitted Transfer promptly after execution thereof; (H) Borrower shall have delivered satisfactory evidence to Lender that, following the Additional Permitted Transfer, Borrower shall continue to comply with the provisions of Section 4.1.20 hereof; (I) upon Lender’s request, delivery of an Additional Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender; and (J) the Additional Permitted Transfer is permitted under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(g) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s Transfer without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
(h) Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with any Transfer, including all fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, whether internal or outside, and the cost of any required counsel opinions related to REMIC or other securitization or tax issues and any Rating Agency fees.

In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as an additional named insured under each of the Policies described in Sections 6.1.1(a)(ii), (v), (vii), (viii), and (x) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender to be named as a named insured together with Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the Policies required under Sections 6.1.1(a)(i), (iii), (iv), (vi), and (ix) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall also cause all insurance policies required under Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to provide for at least thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation or material changes. Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of all such insurance required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement simultaneously with Mortgage Borrower’s provision of such evidence to Mortgage Lender.
(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder and under the Mortgage Loan Agreement is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. In addition, Lender may participate at its option in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold, and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver
58
to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender to participate in any such proceedings upon Lender’s determination to do so, and Borrower shall from time to time cause Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.
If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

ARTICLE VII - RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1 Transfer of Reserve Funds under Mortgage Loan. If Mortgage Lender waives the requirement of any of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or if the Mortgage Loan is refinanced or repaid in full (without a prepayment of the Loan) and any of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, reserve or escrow accounts required under the terms of the original Mortgage Loan Agreement are not required under the terms of a new Mortgage Loan, if any, then Borrower shall cause any amounts that would have been deposited into any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be transferred to and deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article 7 and, if any letters of credit have been substituted by Mortgage Borrower for any such reserves or escrows as may be specifically permitted by the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then Borrower shall also cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Lender to be held by Lender upon the same terms and provisions as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
59
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
(a) Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. Any Taxes or Insurance Premiums paid by Lender from the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be deemed to be a capital contribution from Borrower to Mortgage Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
(b) Waiver of Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to deliver to Lender the monthly payments for Taxes and Other Charges and Insurance Premiums, provided that (a) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits under the Mortgage Loan and (b) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of all such Taxes and Insurance Premiums.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit of $7,256.00 and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter $7,256.00 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender in its discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to any Individual Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the aggregate amount of the Replacement Reserve Fund shall not exceed $435,339.00 in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) on any Payment Date (after giving effect to the payment of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit) and accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the
60
Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property (or any portion thereof).
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. (a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund or Rollover Reserve Fund.
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender shall issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor,
61
supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, if payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000.00, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
(g) Borrower shall make a capital contribution to Mortgage Borrower in an amount equal to any disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account as and when such disbursements are made.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements. (a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for
62
such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Pledge Agreement. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that
63
such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the related Security Instrument and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Security Instrument and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
64
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
7.3.6 Waiver of Deposits to the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to deliver to Lender the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, provided that Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits under the Mortgage Loan.

Borrower shall make a capital contribution to Mortgage Borrower in an amount equal to any disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Fund as and when such disbursements are made.

Section 7.6 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund.
7.6.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account. During a Cash Sweep Period caused by a DSCR Trigger Event, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Mezzanine Collection Account, which shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and
66
amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”.
7.6.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be deposited into the Mezzanine Collection Account to be disbursed to Borrower in accordance with the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement. Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.
Section 7.7 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a) Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and the Mezzanine Collection Account and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund and Mezzanine Collection Account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds and funds held in the Mezzanine Collection Account shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds and the Mezzanine Collection Account to the payment of the Debt in any order in its discretion.

Borrower shall assign to Lender all
67

(f) The required monthly deposits into the Reserve Funds and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.

(xvi) a Mortgage Loan Default shall occur; or any other event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate or permit Mortgage Lender to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Mortgage Loan.
Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default occurs, Lender may, at its option, and without prior notice or demand, do and hereby is authorized and empowered by Borrower so to do, any or all of the following:
(i) Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal balance of the Loan to be immediately due and payable.
(ii) Lender may, from time to time, take legal action to recover any sums as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the Loan shall be accelerated and without prejudice to Lender’s right thereafter to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy, if such sums remain uncollected.
(iii) Lender may institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete or partial foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement or the complete or partial sale of the Collateral under power of sale or under any applicable provision of law. In connection with any such proceeding, Lender may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in parts and at such times and place (at one or more sales) and upon such terms as it may deem expedient unless prohibited by law from so acting.
70
(iv) Lender may exercise with respect to the Collateral, each right, power or remedy granted to a secured party under the UCC as enacted in the state or states applicable to any of the Collateral, including the right to foreclose upon the Collateral. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.
(v) Lender may apply any Reserve Funds and or funds otherwise held in escrow or reserve by Lender under the Loan Documents as a credit on to Loan, in such priority and proportion as Lender deems appropriate.
(vi) Lender may, without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or waiving the Event of Default, perform the obligation that Borrower failed to perform in such manner and to such extent as Lender deems necessary to protect and preserve the Collateral and Lender’s interest therein, including (i) hiring and paying legal counsel, accountants, inspectors or consultants; and (ii) paying amounts that Borrower failed to pay. Amounts disbursed by Lender shall be added to the Loan, shall be immediately due and payable, and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement until paid in full.
(vii) Lender may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Loan Agreement, any other rights or remedies Lender may have under the terms of any other Loan Document upon the occurrence of an event of default or Event of Default thereunder (regardless of whether an event of default or Event of Default thereunder actually occurred).
(viii) Lender may stop disbursing funds to Borrower (any Reserve Funds or otherwise) except in accordance with the approved operating budget or in accordance with the reserve provisions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(ix) Lender may remove the manager of the Borrower and designate a replacement manager of Borrower.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. Lender’s remedies under this Loan Agreement are cumulative (whether set forth in this Section 8.2 or in any other Section of this Loan Agreement) with those in the other Loan Documents and otherwise permitted by law or in equity and may be exercised independently, concurrently or successively in Lender’s discretion and as often as occasion therefor shall arise. Lender’s delay or failure to accelerate the Loan or exercise any other remedy upon the occurrence of an Event of Default shall not be deemed a waiver of such right as remedy. No partial exercise by Lender of any right or remedy will preclude further
71
exercise thereof. Notice or demand given to Borrower in any instance will not entitle Borrower to notice or demand in similar or other circumstances (except where notice is expressly required by this Loan Agreement to be given) nor constitute Lender’s waiver of its right to take any future action in any circumstance without notice or demand. Lender may release security for the Loan, may release any party liable therefor, may grant extensions, renewals or forbearances with respect thereto, may accept a partial or past due payment or grant other indulgences, or may apply any other security held by it to payment of the Loan, in each case without prejudice to its rights under the Loan Documents and without such action being deemed an accord and satisfaction or a reinstatement of the Loan. Lender will not be deemed as a consequence of its delay or failure to act, or any forbearance granted, to have waived or be estopped from exercising any of its rights or remedies.
(c) The proceeds from disposition of the Collateral shall be applied by Lender as a credit to the Loan and to recovery or reimbursement of the costs of enforcement in such priority and proportion as Lender determines appropriate.
(d) Borrower agrees that the Loan Documents are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents that secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Loan Documents and (iii) such cross-collateralization and default shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(e) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(f) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section 8.2, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this Section 8.2 in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
72
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX - SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Securitization.
9.1.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization.
(a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).
(b) At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including financial statements relating to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantors, if any, the Property, the Collateral and any Tenant of the Improvements. Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Property and Collateral may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents. Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Guarantor, Mortgage Borrower and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at Lender’s request, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.
73
Borrower and Guarantor agree, and Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower, to review, at Lender’s request in connection with the Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, the Property, the Collateral and the Loan, including, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Pledge Agreement,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Collateral,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and shall confirm that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Collateral, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager, Mortgage Borrower, and/or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(c) Borrower agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes Borrower shall not be required to modify (i) the initial weighted average interest rate payable under the Note, (ii) the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (iv) any other material economic term of the Loan, or (v) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Mortgage Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.
(d) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(e) Borrower hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution (which appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable until the Loan is paid and the Pledge Agreement is discharged of record, with Borrower hereby ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof) to execute and deliver all documents and do all other acts and things necessary or desirable to effect any Securitization authorized hereunder; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default exists, Lender shall not execute or deliver any such documents or do any such acts or things under such power until five (5) days after written notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s
74
intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower’s failure to deliver any document or to take any other action Borrower is obligated to take hereunder with respect to any Securitization for a period of ten (10) Business Days after such notice by Lender shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
9.1.2 Securitization Costs. All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantors in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower.
Section 9.2 Right To Release Information. Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may forward to any broker, prospective purchaser of the Collateral, the Property or the Loan, or other person or entity all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any Guarantor, any indemnitor, the Collateral, the Property and any other matter in connection with the Loan, whether furnished by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, any Guarantor, any indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to limit or prevent such disclosure, including any right of privacy or any claims arising therefrom
Section 9.3 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.4 Matters Concerning Manager. Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to replace Manager with a Qualified Manager pursuant to a Replacement Management Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events: (a) an Event of Default hereunder has occurred and remains uncured, (b) Manager shall become subject to a Bankruptcy Action, (c) a default occurs under the Management Agreement, or (d) Lender has determined in its discretion that there has been a DSCR Trigger Event.
The rights of Lender (A) to approve any change in the Management Agreement, (B) to cause the termination of the existing Manager, (C) to cause the designation of any replacement property manager, and (D) to cure any default of Mortgage Borrower under the Management Agreement shall be subject to any rights of the Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents to take such actions, and the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents relating to the appointment of any replacement property manager. Borrower shall provide to Lender any request for action relating to a Manager, including for any change in the Management Agreement, any termination of the existing Manager or approval of any replacement property manager, within one (1) Business Day of Borrower’s receipt thereof pursuant to the provisions of the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreement. In the event both Lender and the Mortgage Lender shall have such rights relating to a Manager under the Loan Documents and Mortgage Loan Documents, respectively, Lender may exercise such rights, but only to the extent the Mortgage Lender shall not have previously exercised (or be deemed to have exercised) such rights.
Section 9.5 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or
75
trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement, but Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the regular monthly master servicing fee or trustee fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or any fees or expenses required to be borne by, and not reimbursable to, Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for the following costs and expenses payable by Lender to Servicer as a result of the Loan becoming specially serviced: (i) any liquidation fees that are due and payable to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any workout fees and special servicing fees that are due and payable to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, which fees may be due and payable under the Servicing Agreement on a periodic or continuing basis, and which may be payable to a special servicer, in an amount as great as one percent of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, upon return of the Loan by the special servicer to the master servicer, and (iii) the costs of all amounts owed to any third party contractor in connection with the Servicer obtaining any third party report, including any property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer determines to obtain or may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement).
Section 9.6 Dissemination of Information. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may provide to third parties with an existing or prospective interest in the servicing, enforcement, evaluation, performance, ownership, purchase or participation of the Loan, including any entity maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, any and all information that Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan, the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any Guarantor, as Lender determines necessary or desirable. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, Borrower irrevocably waives all rights, if any, to prohibit such disclosure, including any right of privacy.

Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
76
Section 10.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.
Section 10.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof (“Governing State”). Borrower hereby consents to personal jurisdiction in the Governing State. JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF ANY ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY ACTION RELATING TO THE LOAN OR THE RELATIONSHIPS CREATED BY OR UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (“ACTION”) SHALL, AT THE ELECTION OF LENDER, BE IN (AND IF ANY ACTION IS ORIGINALLY BROUGHT IN ANOTHER VENUE, THE ACTION SHALL AT THE ELECTION OF LENDER BE TRANSFERRED TO) A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION LOCATED IN THE GOVERNING STATE. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS AND SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION OF THE STATE COURTS OF THE GOVERNING STATE AND OF FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE GOVERNING STATE IN CONNECTION WITH ANY ACTION AND HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL PERSONAL RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER STATE TO OBJECT TO JURISDICTION WITHIN SUCH GOVERNING STATE FOR PURPOSES OF ANY ACTION. Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert, as a defense to any Action or a motion to transfer venue of any Action, (i) any claim that it is not subject to such jurisdiction, (ii) any claim that any Action may not be brought against it or is not maintainable in those courts or that this Agreement may not be enforced in or by those courts, or that it is exempt or immune from execution, (iii) that the Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, or (iv) that the venue for the Action is in any way improper.
Section 10.4 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or of the Note, or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
Section 10.5 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
77
payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property or any portion thereof); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance, UCC insurance, and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property (or any portion thereof), the Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Collateral or the Property or any portion thereof (including any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Mezzanine Collection Account or any Cash Management Agreement, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
80
judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property (or any portion thereof ) other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
81
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, KeyBank National Association or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and KeyBank National Association in their discretion.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Collateral, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property (or any portion thereof) in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them
82
may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several. Under no circumstances whatsoever shall Lender have any liability for punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any way related to the transactions contemplated or any relationship established by this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, and, to the extent not expressly prohibited by applicable laws, Borrower for itself and its Guarantors and indemnitors waives all claims for punitive, special, consequential or incidental damages. Lender shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Neither Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted by them as such hereunder or in connection herewith, unless caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a) the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.

The rights described above in this Section 10.24 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.25 OFAC. Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that neither Borrower nor any Guarantor is (or will be) a person with whom Lender is restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons.

(i) except as permitted by Lender herein (A) any refinance of the Mortgage Loan, (ii) any prepayment in full of the Mortgage Loan, (B) any Transfer of any or all of the Property or Collateral or any portion thereof, or (C) any action in connection with or in furtherance of the foregoing;

(ix) except as required by the Mortgage Loan Documents, any determination to restore the Property after a Casualty or Condemnation.
Any breach or attempted breach of this Section 11.1.2 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder.
11.1.3 Additional Representations and Warranties. The outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, as of the Closing Date, is $26,000,000.00. No default, breach, or violation has occurred under the Mortgage Loan and no Mortgage Loan Default has occurred under the Mortgage Loan Agreement which remains uncured or unwaived, and no circumstance, event or condition has occurred or exists which, with the giving of notice and/or the or the passage time would constitute a Mortgage Loan Default. Each and every representation and warranty of Mortgage Borrower contained in any one or more of the Mortgage Loan Documents is true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof.
11.1.4 Mortgage Loan Defaults.
(i) Borrower agrees to notify Lender promptly upon the occurrence of any Mortgage Loan Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Mortgage Loan Default, in addition to Section 5.1.23 above, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation to (A) pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed, and (B) pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan or any Mortgage Loan Default, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a Mortgage Loan Default.
(ii) Borrower hereby grants Lender and its designees the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any default, or the reasonable assertion by Mortgage Lender that a default has occurred, under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or any Mortgage Loan Default, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Mortgage Lender with respect to any Mortgage Loan Default), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.
86
(iii) All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 11.1.4 (including its attorneys’ fees and costs) (A) shall be added to the Debt, (B) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, and (C) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all losses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions, except for losses arising from or related to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.
(iv) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender, or any notice of Mortgage Loan Default, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 11.1, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
11.1.5 Acquisition of the Mortgage Loan. None of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall acquire or agree to acquire the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange, operation of law, or otherwise, and any breach or attempted breach of this Section 11.1.5 shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower shall (i) immediately notify Lender of such failure, and (ii) cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Mortgage Loan, (2) reconvey and release the Liens securing the Mortgage Loan and any other collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
11.1.6 Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure. Without the express prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit Mortgage Borrower to, enter into, execute, deliver, or consent to, as the case may be, any deed-in-lieu or consensual foreclosure with or for the benefit of Mortgage Lender or any of its Affiliates or designees.
87
11.1.7 Refinancing or Prepayment of the Mortgage Loan. Borrower shall not consent to or permit a refinancing of the Mortgage Loan without Lender’s prior written consent, as determined in Lender’s discretion.
11.1.8 Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any intercreditor agreement entered into between Lender and Mortgage Lender (including the Intercreditor Agreement) will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender, and that neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower shall be third-party beneficiaries (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, have any rights thereunder, or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender have no obligation to disclose to Borrower or Mortgage Borrower the contents of any such intercreditor agreement (including the Intercreditor Agreement). Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of any such intercreditor agreement (including the Intercreditor Agreement) and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. The failure of the Intercreditor Agreement to remain in full force and effect, or the repudiation or attempted repudiation of its obligations thereunder by Mortgage Lender, shall constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder.
11.1.9 Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval, Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view, but subject to the standards of consent set forth herein. Furthermore, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a Mortgage Loan Default, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial unless Lender has not complied with any applicable standard for consent. The rights described above may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
