MOREOVER, THEY ARE REMINDED THAT SUBDIVISION (3) OF SECTION 13 OF THE LIEN LAW PROVIDES THAT “NOTHING IN THIS SUBDIVISION SHALL BE CONSIDERED AS IMPOSING UPON THE LENDER OR AGENT ANY OBLIGATION TO SEE TO THE PROPER APPLICATION OF LOAN PROCEEDS BY THE OWNER,” AND NEITHER LENDER NOR AGENT HAS ANY INTENTION OF VOLUNTARILY IMPOSING SUCH OBLIGATION ON ITSELF.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article II, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. With respect to any applicable period, interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance in effect
USActive 36631986.12 -48-
for the applicable period as calculated by Agent (which calculation shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error).
2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate.
(a) The Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) the LIBOR Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan, (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions hereof or (iii) when applicable pursuant to this Agreement, the Default Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the LIBOR Rate for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective. Each determination by Agent of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c) In the event that Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Agent shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.
(d) If, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Agent shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
(e) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable, documented, out‑of‑pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
USActive 36631986.12 -49-
(f) Borrower agrees to pay any Breakage Costs in connection with the conversion (only if converted in accordance with this Section 2.2.3).

2.2.5 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, the Note 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 (without any prepayment fee or penalty, including, without limitation, any Prepayment Premium) 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 (without any prepayment fee or penalty, including, without limitation, any Prepayment Premium) 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.
2.2.6 Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender against any reasonable, documented, out‑of‑pocket loss or expense (other than consequential or punitive damages) which Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (a) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Payment Date and (b) any Event of Default or failure to comply with prepayment procedures with respect to any payment or prepayment, as applicable, of the Outstanding Principal Balance or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender against any loss or expense to the extent arising from Lender’s willful misconduct, gross negligence, fraud, criminal acts, bad faith or material breach by Lender of the Loan Documents. Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.6, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.6 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Prepayment Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loan.

Section 2.3 Debt Service Payments.
2.3.1 Payments Generally.

All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.2 Monthly Debt Service Payment. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall make a payment of interest only equal to one (1) day’s interest in respect of the Closing Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no change in the Payment Date and/or the Interest Period as herein provided shall result in the Payment Date and/or Interest Period not being on the same dates as the “Payment Date” and “Interest Period” under the Senior Loan or the Mezzanine Loan, as such terms are defined in the Senior Loan Agreement and the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, respectively.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lender not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Building Loan Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

As soon as practicable following an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.9, Borrower shall, if requested by Agent, execute and deliver an amendment of and/or restatement of the Note and shall, if requested by Agent, enter into such amendments to the related Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence the extension of the Maturity Date as provided in this Section 2.9; in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Agent; provided, however, that no such agreement shall require Borrower or any other Person to certify that its respective representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents remain true and correct nor otherwise increase or adversely alter the obligations of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, further, however, that no failure by Borrower to enter into any such amendments and/or restatements shall affect the rights or obligations of Borrower, Agent or Lender with respect to the extension of the Maturity Date.
Section 2.10 Change in Law; Taxes.
2.10.1 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Change in Law or compliance of Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or any Person Controlling Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the Person Controlling Lender shall be subject to (i) any Tax of any kind with respect to this Agreement (other than Excluded Taxes); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of Lender or any Person Controlling Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to LIBOR‑based interest rates is imposed on Lender or any Person Controlling Lender and Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any Person Controlling Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by Lender or any Person Controlling Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Agent and Borrower and Borrower agrees that it will pay to Lender upon Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any Person Controlling Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent Lender determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If Lender requests
USActive 36631986.12 -74-
compensation under this Section 2.10.1, Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrower to Agent, furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. If Agent is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment by Borrower of any amounts described in this Section 2.10.1 would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Agent and Borrower of not less than one‑hundred twenty (120) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
2.10.2 Other Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future gross receipts, stamp, court or documentary, intangible, recording, filing or similar taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made under, from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration of, from the receipt or perfection of a security interest under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
Section 2.11 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of both Borrower and Agent after consultation with each other) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then Borrower or Agent (as applicable) shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after all deductions or withholdings have been made (including all deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the applicable Recipient timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower shall indemnify any Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by any such Recipient shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by or on account of Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority
USActive 36631986.12 -75-
evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent.
(e) Status of Lenders. Any Lender entitled to payments under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent, promptly following the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit Borrower or Agent to determine whether such payments are subject to Taxes and whether such payments are to be made without withholding (including backup withholding) or at a reduced rate of withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 2.11(e)(i), 2.11(e)(ii) and 2.11(e)(iii)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and Agent:
(i) if such Lender is a U.S. Person, executed originals of IRS Form W‑9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(ii) if such Lender is a Foreign Lender, executed originals of IRS Form W‑8BEN or W‑8BEN‑E, W‑8ECI or W‑8IMY, as applicable, together with all supporting documentation required under applicable law, including in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, a certificate substantially in the form of Schedule IX to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; and
(iii) any documentation required to be provided by a Lender as prescribed under FATCA (including under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code) and the applicable Treasury regulations thereunder and official interpretations thereof.
(f) Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.
(i) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Loan from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on any Lender’s interest in the Loan or such Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If such Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to such Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then such Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Loan immediately due and payable.
USActive 36631986.12 -76-
(ii) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Loan for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Building Loan Mortgage or the Loan. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by applicable law and such claim, credit or deduction results in a tax, either directly or indirectly on any Lender’s interest in the Loan or Lender’s interest in the Property, such Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
(iii) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Building Loan Mortgage, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other similar tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under Section 2.10 and Section 2.11 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of a Lender, the termination of any commitments, loans, or other obligations under any Loan Document and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(iv) subject to Borrower’s right to contest the same as set forth in this Agreement, or the right of a Tenant to contest the same in accordance with its Lease, Borrower’s failure to pay Taxes, charges for labor or materials or other charges or judgments that can create Liens on any portion of a Property to the extent any such Lien is not bonded over or discharged in accordance with this Agreement; provided, that, Borrower shall have no liability pursuant to this clause (iv) if there are sufficient amounts on reserve with Agent for the payment of such Taxes, charges for labor or materials or other charges or judgments and Agent fails to make the same available to Borrower to pay the same (provided Agent’s use of such funds is not restricted
USActive 36631986.12 -78-
due to any act or omission of a Borrower Party); and further provided, that, there shall not be liability pursuant to this clause (iv) for failure to pay Taxes, charges for labor or materials or other charges or judgments that can create Liens on any portion of a Property due to the insufficiency of cash flow from the Property to pay such amounts as and when, and with the priority, required pursuant to the Loan Documents, and such insufficiency is not a result of misappropriation of Rents by any Borrower Party;
(v) Borrower’s failure to maintain an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in a notional amount equal to the principal amount of the Loan then advanced and outstanding in compliance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.8;
(vi) intentional misapplication or misappropriation by any Borrower Party in contravention of the Loan Documents of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (C) any proceeds of the Advances or (D) any revenues from the Property, including Borrower’s failure to deliver to Agent any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits held by or on behalf of Borrower with respect to the Property upon Agent’s foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof (except to the extent such deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of the leases); and
(vii) any litigation or other legal proceeding related to the Loan filed by Borrower, any Borrower Party or any affiliate of Sponsor that delays, opposes, impedes, obstructs, hinders, enjoins or otherwise interferes with or frustrates the efforts of Agent or Lender to exercise any rights and remedies available to Agent or Lender, other than good faith actions and compulsory counterclaims.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) neither Agent nor Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right which Agent or Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Building Loan Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Borrower shall be personally liable for the payment of the entire amount of the Debt in the event of:

(vi) Borrower or Principal makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admits, in writing in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or its inability to pay its debts as they become due;
(vii) a breach by Borrower or Principal of the negative covenants in Section 5.2.12 which breach is cited by a court of competent jurisdiction as a material factor in the substantive consolidation of Borrower with any other Person or entity that is a debtor in a Bankruptcy Action; or

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof that:
4.1.1 Organization. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property. The ownership interests of Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III. Borrower (a) has complied in all respects with its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, limited partnership agreement, articles of organization and limited liability company operating agreement, as applicable; (b) has maintained complete books and records and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (c) has obeyed all formalities required to maintain its status as, and at all times has held itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including, but not limited to, any Affiliate thereof); and (d) has all requisite power and authority to conduct its business and to own its property, as now conducted or owned, and as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power and authority to do business in the state in which the Property is located. The signatory hereto has all requisite power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents on Borrower’s behalf to which Borrower is a party. Guarantor has the necessary power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guaranty.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, will not conflict in any material respect with or result in a breach in any material respect of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default in any material respect under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirements of any Governmental
USActive 36631986.12 -81-
Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s property 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 and/or Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property or any portion thereof, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the Property or such portion thereof, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor, Principal or the condition or ownership of the Property or any portion thereof.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction that materially and adversely affects Borrower or the Property or any portion thereof, or Borrower’s business, property or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the material obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are 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 or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations under Leases or incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever, except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances, in the aggregate, do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property or any portion thereof (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Building Loan Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC‑1 financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case to the extent that such a lien or security interest may be created and perfected by such recording and/or filing, and in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property or any portion thereof that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Document with the
USActive 36631986.12 -82-
actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its Obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amount of cash to be received by Borrower and the amount to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No Bankruptcy Action exists against Borrower or any Principal, and neither Borrower nor Principal has ever been a party to a Bankruptcy Action. Neither Borrower nor Principal is contemplating either a Bankruptcy Action 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 petition against it or Principal.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of 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 that has not been disclosed to Agent that adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property (or any portion thereof) or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Neither Borrower nor Guarantor is an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA which is subject to Title I of ERISA or a “plan” as defined in and subject to the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower or Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans for purposes of ERISA or the Code. In addition, (a) neither Borrower nor Guarantor is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA or an entity whose assets constitute “plan assets” of a governmental plan or plans, (b) transactions by or with Borrower and/or Guarantor are not subject to any state statute or regulation regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans (within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA), in any case, which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which would prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) none of Borrower, Guarantor or their ERISA Affiliates is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the five (5) years preceding the date hereof, required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or any Pension Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Pension Plan; and none of Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post‑retirement “employee welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in Section 3(1) of ERISA), except as disclosed to Agent in writing.
USActive 36631986.12 -83-
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property or any portion thereof, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed, nor the use of the Property by Tenants under the Leases and the contemplated accessory uses, will violate in any material respect (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or records, or agreements affecting the Property or any part thereof. Neither the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor any other right to construct or to use the Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Property.
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data with respect to the Property and Guarantor, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expenses that have been delivered to Agent in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property and Guarantor 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 or Tax Basis Accounting, in each case, consistently applied, (or such other accounting basis consistently applied and reasonably acceptable to Agent) 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 Property or any portion thereof or the operation thereof as an office building and its other intended uses, 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, operation or business of Borrower or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the Property.
4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the
USActive 36631986.12 -84-
Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located either in the public right‑of‑way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all applicable Governmental Authorities. There is no on‑site sewage disposal system and the Property is served by a sewer system maintained by a Governmental Authority or property owners association.
4.1.15 Not a Foreign Person. Borrower and, if Borrower is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes, the Person treated as owning the assets owned by Borrower for federal income tax purposes, is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) or of §7701 of the Code.
4.1.16 Separate Lots. The Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels, which constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of the Property.

USActive 36631986.12 -120-
is in effect (including any extensions thereof or if another federal governmental program is in effect relating to “acts of terrorism” which provides substantially similar protections as TRIPRA), Agent shall accept terrorism insurance which insures against “covered acts” as defined by TRIPRA (or such other program) as full compliance with this Section 6.1.1(a)(xi) as it relates to the risks that are required to be covered hereunder but only in the event that TRIPRA (or such other program) continues to cover both domestic and foreign acts of terrorism; and
(xii) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Agent from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards, which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to the property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Agent as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Prior to the expiration of the Policies theretofore furnished to Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies, shall be delivered by Borrower to Agent, Borrower shall pay all Insurance Premiums in full as they become due and payable. Complete copies of the Policies shall be provided to Agent upon request.
(c) Any insurance coverage required pursuant this Section 6.1 may be met utilizing blanket insurance Policies, provided any blanket insurance Policies shall be subject to the Agent approval and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a). To the extent the Policies are maintained pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such blanket insurance Policy must be sufficient to maintain property and terrorism coverage as set forth in this Section 6.1.1 for the Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket insurance policy calculated on a total insured value basis.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as a named insured and, with respect to liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Sections 6.1(v)(vii) and (x) of this Agreement, shall name Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lender, and its successors and assigns additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to all risk/special form, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Agent, for the ratable benefit of Lender, providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lender. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Agent, Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.
USActive 36631986.12 -121-
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall:
(i) with respect to the Polices of property insurance, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Agent is concerned and (2) the Policies shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Agent, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;
(ii) with respect to Policies of liability insurance, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that (1) the Policy shall not be canceled or materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Agent. If issuer will not or cannot provide the notices required herein this clause (ii), Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and
(iii) not contain any clauses that would make Agent and/or Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Agent shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Agent and/or Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Agent upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure, Agent or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
6.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and (a) each having a financial strength rating of “A” or better by S&P or (b) for multi-layered policies, (i) if four (4) or fewer insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the required coverage shall be provided by insurance companies with a rating of “A” or better by S&P, with no carrier below “BBB” with S&P, or (ii) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the required coverage shall be provided by insurance companies with a rating of “A” or better by S&P, with no carrier below “BBB” with S&P.

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 (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Agent, and (b) unless Agent fails to make Net Proceeds available for Restoration in violation of this Agreement, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Unless Agent fails to make Net Proceeds available for Restoration in violation of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Agent may participate in (and have approval rights over) any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) (the “Casualty Threshold”) and Borrower shall deliver to Agent all instruments required by Agent to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Agent notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall deliver to Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Agent all instruments requested by Agent to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi‑public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Agent, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority, but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property or any portion thereof is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Agent of the Award, Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 6.2, Section 6.3(a), and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Building Loan Mortgage in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than one hundred twenty‑five percent (125%) (such value to be determined, in Agent’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by a
USActive 36631986.12 -123-
“qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010‑30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless the Agent receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and will not be subject to a prohibited transactions tax as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Building Loan Mortgage.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Casualty Threshold and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than the Casualty Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Agent to Borrower upon receipt; provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Casualty Threshold, but less than twenty percent (20%) of the original principal balance of the Loan or the costs of completing Restoration is equal to or greater than the Casualty Threshold, but less than twenty percent (20%) of the original principal balance of the Loan, the Net Proceeds will be held by Agent and Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix), (x) and (xi) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

USActive 36631986.12 -124-
(E) Agent shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

USActive 36631986.12 -125-
(K) the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or less than the lesser of the Loan to Value Ratio (i) on the date of the origination of the Loan, or (ii) on the date immediately preceding such Casualty or Condemnation; provided, however, that (I) if the Loan to Value Ratio test set forth in this clause (K) is not met, such failure shall be excused solely to the extent such failure did not arise, directly or indirectly, out of such Casualty or Condemnation and (II) Borrower may, at its sole election, and subject to the provisions of Section 2.4 hereof prepay a pro rata portion of the Loan concurrently with each Mezzanine Borrower prepaying a pro rata portion of the applicable Mezzanine Loan to the extent necessary to satisfy this condition (K) , provided further any such prepayment of the Loan pursuant to this clause (K) shall be without payment of the Prepayment Premium or any other prepayment or spread maintenance premium, fee or penalty but Breakage Costs will still be due and payable if applicable;

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent shall be held by Agent and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds that are Insurance Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Agent of evidence satisfactory to Agent that all costs incurred in connection with Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Agent to Borrower; provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) If Net Proceeds are (i) equal to or greater than twenty percent (20%) of the original principal amount of the Loan, or (ii) not required to be made available for Restoration (due to Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) or otherwise), then in any such event all Net Proceeds may be retained and applied by Agent in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole discretion of Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Agent shall approve, in its sole discretion.

Section 7.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow.
7.1.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Agent the Initial Tax Deposit on account of the Property Taxes next coming due and the Initial Insurance Premiums Deposit on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Agent on each Payment Date (a) one‑twelfth (1/12) of the Property Taxes that Agent estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Property Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one‑twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Agent estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Agent sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the foregoing amounts so deposited
USActive 36631986.12 -128-
with Agent are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). At Agent’s option, the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account shall be maintained as a Subaccount of the Cash Management Account or be an account maintained by Servicer either at Servicer or at an Eligible Institution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default is continuing and further provided the Property is not located in a “special flood hazard area”, Agent agrees that upon delivery to Agent by Borrower of evidence satisfactory to Agent that the Policies of insurance required to be maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1.1 are maintained pursuant to blanket insurance Policies covering the Property and other properties and which blanket insurance Policies otherwise comply with the requirements of Section 6.1.1 and the Insurance Premiums payable in connection therewith have been prepaid for not less than one year in advance (or, for the period of coverage under the Policies as to which certificates are delivered at or prior to the Closing Date, such period, if less than one year), then Borrower’s obligation to make monthly deposits for the payment of Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 7.1.1 shall be suspended. Upon request of Agent, Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Agent that the Insurance Premiums payable in connection with such blanket insurance Policies are paid as soon as appropriate evidence is reasonably available.
7.1.2 Disbursements from Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Agent will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Building Loan Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Agent may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Property Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any Tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, Tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Agent shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Agent may deal with the Person shown on the records of Agent to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Agent reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Property Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the due dates thereof, Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Agent by the amount that Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Property Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Agent shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) per disbursement. Agent may require an inspection of the Property or any portion thereof at Agent’s sole cost and expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of Two Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($200,000.00) for which reimbursement is sought.
7.2.3 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.

In addition, Agent shall have the right from time to time and during the continuance of an Event of Default to partially foreclose the Building Loan Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Building Loan Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Agent may foreclose the Building Loan Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Agent elects (pursuant to its rights hereunder) to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Agent may foreclose the Building Loan Mortgage to recover so much of the Debt as Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Building Loan Mortgage as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Building Loan Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Building Loan Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default but without in any way limiting Article IX hereof, Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent from time to time, promptly after the request of Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Agent shall request in order to effect the severance described
USActive 36631986.12 -139-
in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead, during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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, Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Agent of Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine.
(e) If an Event of Default exists, Agent may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Agent may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to Tenant’ rights under the Leases, Agent (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon the Property to cure such Event of Default, and Agent is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect the Property or any portion thereof or the priority of the Lien granted by the Building Loan Mortgage.
(f) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property or any portion thereof and may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Agent, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property. Agent shall, at its option, be subrogated to the Lien of any mortgage or other Building Loan Mortgage discharged in whole or in part by the Obligations, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations.
(g) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may cause the Cap-Ex, Spec Buildout Work or Make Ready Work to be performed by Borrower to be completed and may enter upon the Property and construct, equip and complete such Cap-Ex, Spec Buildout Work or Make Ready Work to be performed by Borrower in accordance with the proposed plans and specifications, with such changes therein as Lender may, from time to time, and in its reasonable discretion, deem appropriate. In connection with any construction of
USActive 36631986.12 -140-
such Cap-Ex, Spec Buildout Work or Make Ready Work undertaken by Lender pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, Lender may:
(i) use any funds of Borrower which may be held by Lender as security or in escrow, and any funds remaining unadvanced under the Building Loan;
(ii) employ existing contractors, subcontractors, including general contractors, agents, architects, engineers, and the like, or terminate the same and employ others;
(iii) employ security watchmen to protect the Property;
(iv) take over and use any and all personal property contracted for or purchased by Borrower, if appropriate, or dispose of the same as Lender sees fit;
(v) execute all applications and certificates on behalf of Borrower which may be required with respect to such Cap-Ex, Spec Buildout Work or Make Ready Work by any Governmental Authority or Legal Requirements or contract documents or agreements;
(vi) pay, settle or compromise all existing or future bills and claims which are or may be liens against the Property, or may be necessary for the completion of the such Cap-Ex, Spec Buildout Work or Make Ready Work or the clearance of title to the Property, including, without limitation, all taxes and assessments;
(vii) prosecute and defend all actions and proceedings in connection with the construction of such Cap-Ex, Spec Buildout Work or Make Ready Work or in any other way affecting the Property and the Improvements; and
(viii) take such other action hereunder, or refrain from acting hereunder, as Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, from time to time determine, and without any limitation whatsoever, to carry out the intent of this Section 8.2(f).
(h) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, a power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent under this Agreement during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Agent and/or Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Agent’s and Lender’s rights, powers and remedies during the continuance of an Event of Default may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent or Lender, as applicable, may determine in their respective sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing during the continuance 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
USActive 36631986.12 -141-
a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Transfer of Loan.
(a) Lender may, at any time, (1) sell, transfer or assign the Loan or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, this Agreement, the Note, the Building Loan Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto), or grant participations therein (provided, however, that except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, any such sale, transfer, assignment or participation of the Loan or a portion thereof shall not be to a Prohibited Transferee or any Assignee of a Prohibited Transferee) or (2) issue mortgage pass‑through certificates or other securities (the “Securities”) evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (such sales, transfers, assignments, participations, offerings and/or placements, collectively, a “Securitization”). At Lender’s election, each note and/or component comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more securitizations. Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such participations or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan or to Borrower, any Guarantor or the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and any Tenant at the Property provided, however, Lender shall not disclose any of Guarantor’s financial statements unless, Lender shall have first entered into a customary form of confidentiality agreement with the applicable recipient(s). Subject to Lender’s compliance with the foregoing confidentiality obligations, Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under law or in equity to prohibit such disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy. Subject to Section 9.1(b), any assignee shall be treated as a Lender for all purposes hereunder. Subject to Section 9.1(c), any purchaser of a participation interest shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10.1 and Section 2.11 as if it were a Lender hereunder (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender).
(b) Register. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at its office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of any party to whom it assigns a portion of the Loan (for purposes of this Section 9.1(b) and Section 9.1(c), each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the portion of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and Lenders shall treat each
USActive 36631986.12 -142-
Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 9.1(b) shall be construed and applied so that the Loan, the Note and obligations under the Loan Documents are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, and Section 5f.103‑1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any successor provisions and regulations).
(c) Participant Register. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non‑fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. Notwithstanding anything in the Loan Documents to the contrary, the entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. This Section 9.1(c) shall be construed and applied so that the Loan, the Note and obligations under the Loan Documents are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code, and Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or any successor provisions and regulations).
Section 9.2 Cooperation. Borrower agrees (and agrees to cause Guarantor) to cooperate with Lender, except as expressly provided in this Article IX, in accordance with customary standards (and agrees to cause their respective officers and representatives to cooperate), in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Article IX, including, without limitation, the taking, or refraining from taking, of such action as may be necessary to satisfy all of the conditions of any Investor, the delivery of an estoppel certificate required in accordance with Section 5.1.15 hereof and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, and the execution of amendments to this Agreement, the Note, the Building Loan Mortgage and other Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as reasonably requested by Lender; provided that (i) Lender shall pay all of its and Borrower’s (and Borrower’s Affiliates’) actual out‑of‑pocket costs and expenses in connection with its obligations under this Section 9.2, (ii) no changes to the Loan Documents shall be required that materially adversely affect the obligations or rights of Borrower except in compliance with the requirements of Section 9.4 and (iii) neither Borrower nor its Affiliates shall be required to provide any information other than the Securitization Information. At the request of Lender, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower or Guarantor under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish, and Borrower and Guarantor consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or prospective Investors or any Rating Agency, such information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor as may be reasonably requested by Lender, any Investor, any
USActive 36631986.12 -143-
prospective Investor or any Rating Agency (and which is not in the possession of Lender) in connection with any sale, transfer or participations or Securities, solely to the extent such information is reasonably available to Borrower at no (or de minimis) cost or expense (such information being referred to herein as the “Securitization Information”). Borrower agrees to review, at Borrower’s or Lender’s request and at no (or de minimis) cost or expense to Borrower, the Disclosure Document. Borrower shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties against, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, any reasonable, documented, out‑of‑pocket losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or allegedly untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document or necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (and taken as a whole), not materially misleading, and Borrower agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any reasonable, documented, out‑of‑pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each of them in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that (a) Borrower will be liable in any such case under this Section 9.2 only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property and (b) Borrower will not be liable for Liabilities to the extent arising out of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or material breach of the Loan Documents by any Indemnified Party. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have and shall survive the termination of the Building Loan Mortgage and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Servicer. At the option of Agent, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and/or trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Agent and Agent 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 Agent and Servicer. Agent shall be responsible for any reasonable set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement, and the payment of all servicing fees or trustee fees due to any Servicer under the Servicing Agreement and any other fees or expenses required to be paid thereunder, regardless of whether such fees or expenses are to be borne by, or are reimbursable to, any Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Agent on demand for interest payable on advances made by Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments (to the extent interest at the Default Rate actually paid by Borrower in respect of such payments are insufficient to pay the same) or expenses paid by Servicer or trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, on account of Basic Carrying Costs).

Section 9.4 Restructuring of Loan.

(b) Borrower shall cooperate, at no cost to Borrower, with all reasonable requests of Agent in order to restructure (in accordance herewith) the Note and/or the Loan, if applicable, and shall, at no cost to Borrower, upon twenty (20) Business Days’ written notice from Agent (other than a severed Note in connection with a syndication of the Loan, which will only require five (5) Business Days’ written notice), which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Agent is requesting execution and delivery, (i) execute and deliver such appropriate documents and (ii) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such customary legal opinions as, in each of the cases of clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be reasonably required by Agent and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrower and Agent, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Building Loan Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if requested; provided, however, that any such amendments required by Agent shall comply with the limitations on restructuring set forth in Section 9.4(a).

USActive 36631986.12 -145-
FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within ten (10) Business Days of delivery of such second notice.

In the event that the interest of a Lender that is assigned in connection with a Central Bank Pledge is foreclosed upon and transferred to the pledge thereof, such Lender shall have no further liability hereunder with respect to the interest that was the subject of such transfer and the assignee shall be Lender with respect to such interest. Lender shall not be required to notify Borrower of any Central Bank Pledge or Pfandbrief Pledge. Borrower agrees to execute, within fifteen (15) Business Days after request therefor is made by Agent, any documents or any amendments, amendments and restatements, and/or modifications to any Loan Documents and/or additional documents (including, without limitation, amended, amended and restated, modified and/or additional promissory notes) and/or estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Agent in order to make the Loan Documents eligible under German Pfandbrief legislation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents and amendments which would increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic or other material terms of the Loan other than to a de minimis extent.
Section 9.6 Assignments and Participations. Without limiting Lender’s rights pursuant to Section 9.1, no Lender shall assign, transfer, sell, pledge or hypothecate all or any portion of its rights or obligations in and to the Loan to any other Person: (a) without the prior written consent of Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; (b) such transaction shall be an assignment of a constant and not a varying ratable share of such Lender’s interest in the Loan; (c) so long as (i) an Event of Default is not then continuing, (ii) MSMCH has not been removed pursuant to the provisions of a co-lender or similar agreement, or (iii) MSMCH remains regularly involved in the business of serving as an administrative agent for and MSBNA remains regularly involved in the business of making commercial real estate mortgage loans similar to the Loan, MSBNA shall continue to hold a portion of the Loan greater than or equal to Thirty-Four Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-Four Dollars ($34,850,774.00)

In addition, the assigning Lender (other than the initial Lender named herein) shall pay Agent’s counsel’s fees and expenses in connection with such assignment.

USActive 36631986.12 -150-
HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH OF AGENT AND LENDER IS EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Agent and Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent and/or any Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or such Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Agent or Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Agent or Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Agent or any 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 Agent, such Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that none of Agent, Lender nor their respective 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 Agent or any Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Further, it is agreed neither Agent nor any Lender shall be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Agent and/or such Lender within thirty (30) days after Borrower
USActive 36631986.12 -151-
first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Agent and/or such Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Failure to give such notice shall constitute a waiver of such claim.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Agent upon receipt of notice from Agent for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Agent in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Agent 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, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Agent’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 Agent; (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 and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Agent all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Agent and/or Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third‑party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property or any portion thereof, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or any portion thereof 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 Agent or Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Agent may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or the Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses 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 (the liabilities, losses, costs, expenses and other matters described in this subparagraph (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross
USActive 36631986.12 -152-
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 or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Agent 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 Agent 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.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any Losses to which each such Indemnified Party may become subject insofar as such Losses so incurred arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor to the Rating Agencies, if any (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
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 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses, which are unrelated to such documents that Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower, Agent 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, Agent and Lender nor to grant Agent or Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Agent, Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Agent, Lender and Borrower any right to insist
USActive 36631986.12 -153-
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 Agent and 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 Agent on behalf of Lender if, in Agent’s sole discretion, Agent deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity; Confidentiality. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public that refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Agent, Lender or any of their respective Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in the Loan Documents, nothing herein shall impair Borrower’s (or Borrower’s affiliate’s) right to disclose information relating to the Loan (a) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for, or are acting on behalf of any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating Borrower or its affiliates, (b) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S11 filing) with governmental agencies (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission) by any REIT holding an interest (direct or indirect) in Borrower, (c) to any broker/dealer in Borrower’s or any REIT’s broker/dealer network and any of the REIT’s or Borrower’s investors, or (d) in connection with Borrower’s or any direct or indirect owner of Borrower’s tax structuring and/or tax preparation.
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 Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Building Loan Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 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 Agent, Lender or their respective agents.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the
USActive 36631986.12 -154-
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 Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate of Agent or any Lender. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall 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 that govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Agent or any Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Agent or such Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Agent and each Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments that may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Other than the payment of any and all commissions or similar fees owed to Eastdil Secured LLC (the “Broker”) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, 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, understandings and negotiations among or between (or on behalf of) such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the non‑binding term sheet dated February 7, 2017 between Agent, Lender and Savanna Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (an Affiliate of Borrower) are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Cumulative Rights. All of the rights of Agent and Lender under this Agreement hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents, and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in such combination as Agent or Lender, as applicable, may determine in its sole judgment.
Section 10.24 Counterparts.

USActive 36631986.12 -155-
Section 10.25 Time Is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.26 Consent of Holder. Wherever this Agreement refers to Agent’s consent or discretion or other rights, such references to Agent shall be deemed to refer to any administrative agent for the holders of the Loan. Such agent may from time to time appoint a trustee or Servicer, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon written instructions executed by a purported officer of such agent as to the extent of authority delegated to any such trustee or Servicer from time to time and determinations made by such trustee or Servicer to the extent identified as within the delegated authority of such trustee or Servicer, unless and until such instructions are superseded by further written instructions from such agent.
Section 10.27 Successor Laws. Any reference in this Agreement to any statute or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor statute or regulation.
Section 10.28 Performance by Borrower, Agent and Lender; Reliance on Third Parties. Agent and/or Lender may perform any of its responsibilities hereunder through one or more agents, attorneys or independent contractors. In addition, Agent and/or Lender may conclusively rely upon the advice or determinations of any such agents, attorneys or independent contractors in performing any discretionary function under the terms of this Agreement. Wherever this Agreement refers to Borrower’s obligation to cause action by Guarantor or the Manager regarding the observance, performance or satisfaction of any term, provision, covenant or condition contained herein, such obligation with respect to Borrower shall be interpreted to mean that Borrower shall not suffer or permit such party to fail to observe, perform or satisfy any such term, provision or covenant contained herein.
Section 10.29 Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

USActive 36631986.12 -156-
(iii) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
Section 10.30 Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) any Intercreditor Agreement entered into between Agent and/or Lender, on one hand, and each Mezzanine Agent and/or each Mezzanine Lender, on the other hand, will be solely for the benefit of Agent and/or Lender, on one hand, and each Mezzanine Agent and/or Mezzanine Lender, on the other hand, (b) neither Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower nor any of their Affiliates shall (i) be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, (ii) have any rights thereunder and (iii) be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein, and (c) the Intercreditor Agreement allows Mezzanine Lender certain additional forbearances and accommodations not otherwise available to Borrower and that Borrower hereby waives any objection thereto. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. None of Agent, Lender, either Mezzanine Agent or either Mezzanine Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that with respect to certain approvals, calculations and other decisions hereunder, the Intercreditor Agreement may require Agent and/or Lender to consult with or receive the approval of Mezzanine Agent and/or Mezzanine Lender and/or consider the economic position of Mezzanine Lender prior to providing its own approval or determination regarding the same. Borrower acknowledges that pursuant to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and other agreements executed between Agent and/or Lender, on one hand, and Mezzanine Agent and/or Mezzanine Lender, on the other hand, the actual distribution of payments made to Agent and/or Lender, on one hand, and Mezzanine Agent and/or Mezzanine Lender, on the other hand, may differ from the distribution of payments set forth in this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI
AGENT
AGENT
Section 11.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent; Removal and Resignation of Agent.
(a) Each of Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Agent has been appointed the administrative agent for the Loan, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to act as agent for and in the best interest of the Lenders and to take such actions as the Lenders are obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. This Agreement is not intended to be, and shall not be construed to be, the formation of a partnership or joint venture between Agent and any Lender. In performing its functions and duties under the Loan Documents, Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for Borrower.
(b) Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents and the Co-Lender
USActive 36631986.12 -157-
Agreement as are delegated to Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
(c) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.1, unless and to the extent prohibited from doing so by any applicable law, MSMCH (or one of its Affiliates, including, without limitation, MSBNA) shall at all times remain Agent hereunder. Lenders and Borrower hereby agree that MSMCH may assign its role as Agent hereunder to MSBNA or any Affiliate of MSMCH or MSBNA upon notice to Lenders and Borrower but without the requirement for obtaining any prior written consent of any Lenders or Borrower. The provisions of this subsection (c) shall not apply from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default or if MSMCH is no longer the Agent, pursuant to subsection (d) or (e).
(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 11.1(c) to the contrary, if MSMCH and its Affiliates are no longer regularly engaged in the business of acting as administrative agent for syndicated commercial real estate mortgage loans, Agent may resign from the performance of all of its functions and duties hereunder at any time, by giving at least sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the Lenders and Borrower.
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 11.1(c) to the contrary, if Agent (i) is grossly negligent or commits intentional misconduct with respect to the performance of its duties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Co-Lender Agreement, (ii) or its Affiliates is a defaulting lender as described in the Co-Lender Agreement, (iii) is the subject of a Bankruptcy Event, or (iv) its Affiliates, as applicable, no longer hold any ownership interest in the Loan following a transfer permitted in accordance with this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges that the Lenders may remove Agent from its role as administrative agent for Lenders, without affecting Agent’s rights or obligations as a Lender, and appoint a successor Agent in accordance with the Co-Lender Agreement. In the event that Mezzanine Lender purchases the Loan, Mezzanine Lender shall be pre-approved as a successor Agent.
Section 11.2 Reliance on Agent. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of Agent that Agent shall be, and Borrower shall be entitled to deal with Agent as, the exclusive representative of the Lenders on all matters relating to the Loan, the Loan Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents, and, subject to the terms hereof and the terms of the Co-Lender Agreement, each Lender shall be bound by the acts of Agent with respect to the Loan.
Section 11.3 Agent as a Lender. The agency created pursuant hereto and the Loan Agreement shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any additional duties or obligations upon, any Lender that becomes Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Lender. With respect to its interest in the Loan, except as specifically provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as a Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it, as Agent, hereunder. The term “Lenders” or “Lender” or any similar term shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include any Lender that becomes Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement in its individual capacity as a Lender and not as Agent. Agent, Lenders and each of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Borrower or any of
USActive 36631986.12 -158-
its Affiliates (in each case not related to the Loan) as if it were not performing its duties as Agent or Lender (as applicable) specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower or its Affiliates for services in connection therewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Agent or the other Lenders, as applicable.
