GENERAL
LOAN TERMS
Section
2.1 The Loan
. Lender
is making a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower on the date
hereof, in the original principal amount (the “Principal”) of $125,000,000
which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges
receipt of the Loan, the proceeds of which are being and shall be used to (i)
repay and discharge existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) fund
certain of the Subaccounts, and (iii) pay transaction costs. Any
excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect
of the Loan may be reborrowed.
Section
2.2 Interest; Monthly
Payments
.
2.2.1 Generally. From
and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the
Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date
hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof
through and including April 30, 2008. On June 1, 2008 and each
Payment Date thereafter through and including the Maturity Date, the interest on
the Principal at the Interest Rate shall be payable in monthly installments
(each such installment, the “Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount”). The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any
Payment Date shall be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the
preceding Interest Period. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be
due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any
date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity
Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid
Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.
2.2.2 Default
Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default
Rate, and shall be payable, to the extent permitted by applicable
law.
2.2.3 Taxes. Any
and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall
be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or
future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all
liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income,
and franchise and other similar taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation
of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
in this Section
2.2.3 as “Applicable
Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any
Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the
following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as
may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3),
Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
26
received
had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions
and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant
taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall
be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand
therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred
to a transferee, assignee or purchaser, which, in each case, is organized under
the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any
state thereof (a “Foreign
Lender”), the transferor shall cause such Foreign Lender, concurrently
with the effectiveness of such transfer, to furnish to the transferor and
Borrower either a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, United
States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or United States Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8IMY, including applicable attachments (in each case, wherein
such Foreign Lender claims entitlement to complete exemption from United States
federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder); provided, however,
that in the event that the transferor fails to cause the Foreign Lender to
furnish any such Form or such Foreign Lender is not entitled to a complete
exemption from United States withholding tax, Borrower shall deduct any
Applicable Taxes to the extent required by law and payments shall be made net of
any Applicable Taxes without regard to the provisions of clause (i) of the
second sentence of this Section 2.2.3. In
each case, if a specified form is no longer in use, the delivery obligation
specified in this Section 2.2.3 shall
apply to the applicable successor form. In addition, each Foreign
Lender, if any, shall deliver such forms within a reasonable period of time
following the obsolescence, expiration or invalidity of any form previously
delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each Foreign Lender shall within a
reasonable period of time notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is
no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered form or certificate
to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by a taxing authority
for such purpose).
2.2.4 Breakage
Indemnity. Borrower shall
indemnify Lender against any loss or expense 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 (i) any
payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other
than a Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the
Principal 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). Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such
sums which it is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.4,
which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest
error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.4
are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Spread Maintenance Premium
applicable to a payment or prepayment of Principal resulting from an
acceleration of the Loan prior to the Stated Maturity
Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender acknowledges and agrees
that no such breakage costs will be incurred in connection with any payment or
prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a
Payment Date to the extent such payment or prepayment includes interest that
would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next
Payment Date.
2.2.5 New Payment
Date. Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more
than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date
later than the first (1st) day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on thirty
(30) days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any
such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount
of regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments, except
that
27
the first
payment of principal (if any) and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall
be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period
from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to
the New Payment Date and (ii) shall extend the Stated Maturity Date to the
New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated
Maturity Date.
Section
2.3 Loan
Repayment
.
2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower
shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the
Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of
repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan
Documents. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be
applied by Lender as follows in the following order of
priority: First, accrued and unpaid
interest at the Interest Rate; second, to Principal; and
third, to and any other
amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If the Debt is
accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to
receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums
due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium,
if any, applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any
payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu
of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan
Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in
Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory
Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in
certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each, a “Casualty/Condemnation
Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2
hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting
Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses)
in connection with the settlement or collection of the Insurance Proceeds or
Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1 above,
and if such Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a
Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest
that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next
Payment Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order
of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly
installments due under the Note or this Agreement.
2.3.3 Intentionally
Omitted
.
2.3.4 Optional
Prepayments. Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing,
Borrower shall have the right to prepay all or any portion (in amounts equal to
at least $250,000) of the Principal, provided that Borrower gives Lender at
least fifteen (15) days prior written notice thereof specifying the date and
amount of the prepayment. If any such prepayment is not
28
made on a
Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such
prepaid Principal to, but not including, the next Payment Date.
2.3.5 Prepayments After
Default. If after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is
tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such
purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Spread Maintenance
Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and
unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
Section
2.4 Release of Property on
Payment in Full
.
Lender
shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in
full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower,
assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and
without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents
if not theretofore released.
Section
2.5 Payments and
Computations
.
2.5.1 Making of
Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds
settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other
funds immediately available to Lender by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the
date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may
designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment
shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments
shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or
counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and
appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or
enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations. Interest
payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late Payment
Charge. If any Principal, interest or other sum due under any
Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower
shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such
unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in
order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such
delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan

Reserves
. On
the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the aggregate amount set
forth on Schedule

to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in
increments of at least $5,000, accompanied by the following items (which items
shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender): (i) an
Officer’s Certificate (A) certifying that the Required Repairs or any
portion thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been
completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable
Legal Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or
labor in connection with such Required Repairs or any portion thereof and

requested disbursement, will be paid in full with respect to the portion of the
Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement;
(ii) copies of appropriate Lien waivers or other evidence of payment
satisfactory to Lender; (iii) at Lender’s option, if the costs of the
repairs exceed $250,000, a title search for the Property indicating that it is
free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (iv) a copy of each
License required to be obtained by Borrower with respect to the portion of the
Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; and
(v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the

deposit into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount) (i) on each Payment Date,
one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12)
months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes
at least thirty (30) days prior to their Delinquency Date, and
(ii) (1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium
Financing Arrangement remains in full force and effect,
33
on each
Payment Date, the Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the
applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (2) with
respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium
Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the
coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to
accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts on
deposit in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Impound
Funds”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds to payments of
Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof
and Section 7.1
hereof and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the
applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as
applicable. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance
Impound Funds, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate
procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer
or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy
of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment,
sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount
of the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes
and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof
and Section 7.1
hereof, Lender 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
Impound Funds. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the
person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the
Property. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance
Impound Funds is not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (i)
and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower
shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender
estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days
prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case
may be. All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Impound
Funds shall become part of the Tax and Insurance Impound Funds and shall be
disbursed in accordance with this Section
3.3. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide,
at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax
reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect,
Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches
throughout the Term.
Section
3.4 Capital Expense

initially equal to $6,790.00 (one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
product obtained by multiplying $0.15 by the aggregate number of rentable square
feet of space in the Property). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’
prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment
required under this Section 3.4 from
time to time in its reasonable discretion (based upon its then current
underwriting standards). Provided that no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital
Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by
Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per
month), in increments of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such
disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) with respect to
34
disbursements
in excess of $100,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an
inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated
with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement
is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that
such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital
Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables
(other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those
constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that
the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that
all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified
Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) lien waivers or other evidence of
payment satisfactory to Lender, (C) at Lender’s option, a title search for the
Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other
encumbrances not previously approved by Lender and (D) such other evidence
as Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses at the
Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are
paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Any such
disbursement of more than $100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved
Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to
Borrower and the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.
Section
3.5 Rollover
Reserve
.
(a) On
the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender
$14,238,933.81. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a

Lender (for deposit into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount) on each Payment Date
first occurring (and on each subsequent Payment Date for the remainder of the
Term) after the earlier to occur of (x) May 31, 2010 and (y) the date on which
the funds then remaining on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount (other
than funds constituting Lease Termination Payments) are equal to, or less than,
$1,000,000, an amount equal to $45,267.00 (one-twelfth (1/12th) of the
product obtained by multiplying $1.00 by the aggregate number of rentable square
feet of space in the Property). Borrower shall also pay to Lender
(for deposit into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount) all Lease Termination
Payments received by Borrower; provided, however, once
Borrower has provided to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that
the space under the Lease that was the subject of such Lease Termination Payment
has been re-tenanted and all Approved Leasing Expenses in connection with such
space have been paid, Lender shall (provided no Event of Default has occurred
and is then continuing) disburse to Borrower any remaining portion of the
subject Lease Termination Payment. Provided that no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover
Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by
Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per
month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is
for an Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) with respect to disbursements in
excess of $100,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection
conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated
with such an Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for
disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying
(1) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) an
Approved Leasing Expense, and a description thereof, (2) that all
outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the
35
requested
disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in
full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used only
to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved Leasing
Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the
amount, necessity and purpose therefor. Any such disbursement of more
than $100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at
Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee of
such Approved Leasing Expenses.
(b) Borrower
shall, within a reasonable period of time after all tenant improvement costs and
leasing expenses and allowances required to be paid by Borrower under the CH2M
Lease have been paid, cause to be delivered to Lender an estoppel certificate
from the tenant under the CH2M Lease verifying that all such tenant improvement
costs and leasing expenses and allowances required to be paid by Borrower have
been paid and that all tenant improvement work required to be performed by
Borrower has been completed in a satisfactory manner and in accordance with the
terms and provisions of the CH2M Lease. Such estoppel certificate
shall also confirm the amount of any unused tenant improvement allowances under
the CH2M Lease. If the tenant under the CH2M Lease elects to receive
any such unused tenant improvement allowances as a refund by Borrower, such
amounts shall be deemed an Approved Leasing Expense. If,
alternatively, the tenant under the CH2M Lease elects to receive any such unused
tenant improvement allowances as a credit against its rental obligations under
the CH2M Lease, on each Payment Date such a rent credit is applicable, provided
no Event of Default is then continuing, a portion of the funds on deposit in the
Rollover Reserve Subaccount in an amount equal to the rent credit elected by the
tenant under the CH2M Lease for the month in which such Payment Date occurs
shall be deposited by Lender into the Deposit Account (i.e., at the “top of the
waterfall”) and applied in accordance with the priority of payments set forth in
Section 3.11(a)
(i.e., in the same manner as Rents that are deposited into the Deposit Account
on each Payment Date).
Section
3.6 Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount
. Borrower
shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Insurance Proceeds or Awards due
to any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Casualty/Condemnation

hereof. All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be
disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7
hereof.
Section
3.7 Security
Deposits
. Borrower
shall keep all security deposits actually paid to Borrower under Leases at a
separately designated account under Borrower’s control at the Clearing Bank (and
in the case of a letter of credit received after the date hereof, assigned with
full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the security
deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower (such account,
the “Security Deposit
Account”). After the occurrence of, and for so long as, an
Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security
deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held
by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”)
subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the
Security
36
Deposit
Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with
such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is
required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be
applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable
Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower
receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after
the date hereof shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the
full amount required by the applicable Lease unless replaced by a cash deposit
as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal
Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s
option, be fully assignable to Lender).
Section
3.8 Cash Collateral
Subaccount
. If
a Cash Trap Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding
Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such
Cash Trap Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts
shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”)
as cash collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral
Account which have been accumulated solely as a result of a Cash Trap Period
triggered as a result of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default and
not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the
termination of such Cash Trap Period. Provided no Event of Default is
then continuing, Cash Collateral Funds which have been accumulated solely as a
result of any Cash Trap Period other than a Cash Trap Period triggered as a
result of the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, may, upon
satisfaction of the terms and conditions of Section 3.5 hereof,
be applied by Lender to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) Approved Leasing
Expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the re-tenanting of the space
under the Corinthian Colleges Lease which was the subject of the Cash Trap
Period in question. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have
the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an
Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such
manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to
make a prepayment of Principal (together which the applicable Spread Maintenance
Premium applicable thereto).
Section
3.9 Operating Expense
Subaccount

Payment Date, a portion of the Rents that have been deposited into the Deposit
Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period in an amount equal to
the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Annual Budget for the following
month as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses at the
Property for such month plus the amount allotted for Budget Variances, shall be
transferred into a Subaccount for the payment of Approved Operating Expenses
(the “Operating Expense
Subaccount”). Provided no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Operating
Expense Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after delivery by
Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per
month), in increments of at least $1,000, provided (i) such disbursement is
for an Approved Operating Expense; and (ii) such disbursement is
accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds
will be used to pay Approved Operating Expenses and a description thereof,
(2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from
the requested disbursement or those constituting
37
Permitted
Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the
subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements
have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Approved Operating
Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation reasonably satisfactory
to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor.
Section
3.10 Grant of Security Interest;
Application of Funds
. As
security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other
terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges
and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all
Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Clearing Account, the Deposit
Account and all Subaccounts, all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies
held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, and all Subaccounts created
pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management
Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing
security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all
Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or
(ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account. Borrower
shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further
pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or
permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC
Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be
filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things,
intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the
UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order
and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking
the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of
Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under
the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute
trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by
Lender. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
at the direction of Borrower, Lender shall deposit the amounts held in the Cash
Management Accounts in Permitted Investments selected by Lender. All
investment earnings which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account
shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and
shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions
as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Lender shall not
be responsible for any losses resulting from the investment of the Funds or for
obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such
investment. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds
in the Cash Management Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to
Borrower, unless (x) if an Approved Senior Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding,
all such remaining funds shall be applied as directed in writing by the Approved
Senior Mezzanine Loan Lender or (y) if no Approved Senior Mezzanine Loan is then
outstanding, but an Approved Junior Mezzanine Loan is then outstanding, all such
remaining funds shall be applied as directed in writing by the Approved Junior
Mezzanine Loan Lender.

(or any portion thereof) and no Approved Junior Mezzanine Loan (or any portion
thereof) is then outstanding, to make payments to Borrower of any remaining

an adverse outcome of which would materially affect Borrower’s performance under
the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
Section
4.5 No
Defenses
. The
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the
operation of any of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or any
of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
this Agreement or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense
of usury.
Section
4.6 Title
. Borrower
has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property constituting real
property (other than the beneficial interests), and good title to the Equipment,
subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted
Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by
the Loan Documents. The possession of the Property has been peaceful
and undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned to the
best of Borrower’s knowledge. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and
will not materially and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay
in full the principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or
(2) the use of the Property for the use currently being made thereof, the
operation of the Property as currently being operated or the value of the
Property. Upon the execution by Borrower and the recording of the
Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1 financing statements or amendments
thereto, the Lender will have a valid first lien on the Property and a valid
security interest in the Equipment subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances
other than the Permitted Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances
otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents.
Section
4.7 No Insolvency or Judgment;
No Bankruptcy Filing
. Neither
Borrower, nor any general partner or member of Borrower, nor Guarantor of the
Loan is currently (a) the subject of or a party to any completed or pending
bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject of any
judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state in which
the Property is located or in any other court located in the United
States. The Loan will not render Borrower nor any general partner or
member of Borrower
41
Insolvent. As
used herein, the term “Insolvent” means that the sum
total of all of an entity’s liabilities (whether secured or unsecured,
contingent or fixed, or liquidated or unliquidated) is in excess of the value of
all such entity’s non-exempt assets, i.e., all of the assets of the entity that
are available to satisfy claims of creditors. Borrower is not
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its
property (a “Bankruptcy
Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating
the filing of any such petition against it. In addition, except as
described on Schedule
2 attached hereto, neither Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of
Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the
past ten (10) years.
Section
4.8 Misstatements of
Fact
. No
statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact known to Borrower or its
Affiliates necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has
not been disclosed which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower
can reasonably foresee, might materially adversely affect the business,
operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
Section
4.9 Tax
Filings
. To
the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions
for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and,
except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing, has paid or made adequate
provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and
assessments payable by Borrower pursuant to such returns or any notice of
assessment received by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax
returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the
periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the
Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon
audit. Borrower does not have any knowledge of any basis for
additional assessment with respect to such taxes other than a possible
reassessment of the Property for real estate tax purposes resulting from
transactions occurring in connection with the acquisition of the Property on or
prior to the date hereof.
Section
4.10 ERISA
. As
of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not be
an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is
subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower
constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 (as modified by Section 3(42)
of ERISA), (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by
or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating
investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental
plans. As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of the
“controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the
Code) that includes Borrower maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined
benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section
42
3(35) of
ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A)
of ERISA).
Section
4.11 Compliance with Applicable
Laws and Regulations
. To
Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth in the Engineering Report identified
on Schedule 2
attached hereto or the Environmental Reports (hereinafter defined), all of the
Improvements and the use of the Property comply in all material respects with,
and shall remain in compliance in all material respects with, all applicable
statutes, rules, regulations and private covenants now or hereafter relating to
the ownership, construction, use or operation of the Property, including all
applicable Prescribed Laws and all applicable statutes, rules and regulations
pertaining to requirements for equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, fair
housing, environmental protection, zoning and land use and the Improvements
comply in all material respects with, and shall remain in compliance in all
material respects with, applicable health, fire and building
codes. Borrower is not aware of any illegal activities relating to
controlled substances on the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, all
certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including, without limitation,
certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use,
occupancy and operation of the Property as an office building (collectively, the
“Licenses”), have been
obtained and are in full force and effect. To Borrower’s knowledge,
all of the Improvements comply with all material requirements of any applicable
zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances. To Borrower’s knowledge,
in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged,
said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such
damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating
any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of
obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are
pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning
of the Property. To Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning nor any
other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent
upon or related to any property other than the Property, except as set forth in
the Operating Agreements for the benefit of the Property. The use
being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy
issued for the Property and, to Borrower’s knowledge, all other restrictions,
covenants and conditions affecting the Property.
Section
4.12 Contracts
. Except
as set forth on Schedule 2 hereto,
there are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property
that are not terminable on one (1) month’s notice or less without cause and
without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair
contracts affecting the Property entered into by Borrower have been entered into
at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business and provide for the
payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market
rates.
Section
4.13 Federal Reserve Regulations;
Investment Company Act
. No
part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or
acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal
43
Requirements
or any Loan Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment
company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the
meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; or (ii) subject
to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or
regulate its ability to borrow money.
Section
4.14 Access/Utilities
. The
Property has adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate
water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities. Other than
as disclosed on the Survey, all public utilities necessary to the continued use
and enjoyment of the Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the
public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected
so as to serve the Property without passing over other property. All
roads necessary for the full utilization of the Property for its current purpose
have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental
Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of the
Property.
Section
4.15 Condition of
Improvements
. Except
as may be expressly disclosed in the Engineering Report identified on Schedule 2 attached
hereto, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems,
Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all
material respects; and there exists no structural or other material defect or
damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. Borrower has
not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect
or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect
its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges
thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond. No
portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood
hazards. The Property has not been damaged by fire, water, wind or
other cause of loss which has not been fully restored in all material
respects.
Section
4.16 Leases
. The
rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 together
with the schedules and the exhibits attached to such rent roll (collectively,
the “Rent Roll”) is
true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other
than the Leases described in the Rent Roll and those additional Leases (if any)
on Schedule 2
attached hereto and any existing subleases thereunder. No Person has
any possessory interest in the Property or right to occupy the same except under
and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases (and any existing subleases
thereunder). As of the date hereof (i) Borrower is the owner and
holder of the landlord’s interest under each Lease; (ii) there are no prior
assignments of the landlord’s interest by Borrower (and to Borrower’s knowledge
any prior landlord) in any Lease or any portion of Rents which are presently
outstanding and have priority over the Assignment of Leases and Rents;
(iii) true and correct copies of the Leases have been delivered by Borrower
to Lender or made available to Lender and, the Leases have not been further
modified or amended, except as disclosed to Lender in writing on or prior to the
date hereof; (iv) each Lease is in full force and effect; (v) except as
disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any tenant estoppels delivered to Lender in
connection with the Loan and which are dated within 60 days of the date hereof
(collectively, the “Tenant
44
Estoppels”), neither Borrower
nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any tenant under any Lease is in default under any
of the material terms, covenants or provisions of the Lease, and, except as
disclosed to Lender in writing or in any Tenant Estoppels, Borrower knows of no
event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would
constitute an event of default under any Lease; (vi) except as expressly
set forth in the Leases, the Tenant Estoppels or on the Rent Roll, there are no
offsets or defenses to the payment of any portion of the Rents; and (vii) except
as disclosed on the Rent Roll or in any Tenant Estoppel, all Rents due and
payable under each Lease have been paid in full and, except for estimated
payments of operating expenses and taxes made by tenants in accordance with
their Leases, no Rents have been paid more than one (1) month in advance of the
due dates thereof.
Section
4.17 Fraudulent
Transfer
. Borrower
(1) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual
intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (2) has received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan
Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceed and will,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed
Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated,
unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities. The fair market
value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities,
including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such
debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and,
immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not,
constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or
as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does
not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including, without
limitation, contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to
pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be
payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

45

anthlophylie, actinolite or polychlorinated biphenyls, toxic mold or fungus of a
type that may pose a risk to human health or the environment or would materially
and negatively impact the value of the Property (“Toxic Mold”) and any other
substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental
Laws or which are considered by scientific opinion to be otherwise dangerous in

other Loan Documents.
Section

Requirements, including, without limitation, Prescribed Laws, and immediately
cure properly any violation of a Legal Requirement, including, without
limitation, Prescribed Laws; provided, however, that after
prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by
appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, such Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall not be
prohibited by the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is
subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall
be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances;
(iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be
in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost;
(iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with
such Legal Requirement and pay all costs, interest and penalties which may be
payable in connection therewith; and (v) such proceeding shall suspend the
requirement of Borrower to comply with such Legal
Requirement. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing within one (1)
Business Day after Borrower first receives notice of any such
non-compliance. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild
any part of the Property that becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated and shall
complete and pay for any Improvements at any time in the process of construction
or repair.
5.4.2 Alterations. Borrower
shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, to any alterations to the Improvements, the
cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed $3,500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) or that
will have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the use,
operation or value of the Property or the Net Operating Income with respect to
the Property, other than (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to
the terms of any Existing Lease, (b) tenant improvement work performed
pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease executed after the date hereof
and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any
utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any
building constituting a part of any Improvements (it being understood that the
foregoing provision shall not require Lender’s consent to tenants’ exterior
signage pursuant to any Lease approved by Lender in accordance with the terms
and provisions of this Agreement) or (c) alterations performed in
connection with the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a
Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement (“Excluded
Costs”). If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent
under this Section
5.4.2 within ten
52
(10)
Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed granted, provided
that such request shall have been accompanied by all information reasonably
requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate such request
and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that if Lender fails
to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender’s consent shall
be deemed to have been granted. If Lender refuses to grant such
consent, Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such
refusal. Any approval by Lender of the plans, specifications or
working drawings for alterations of the Property shall not create responsibility
or liability on behalf of Lender for their completeness, design, sufficiency or
their compliance with applicable laws. Lender may condition any such
approval upon receipt of a certificate of compliance with applicable laws from
an independent architect, engineer, or other Person reasonably acceptable to
Lender. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to
alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or
reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or paid from accounts established
hereunder or Excluded Costs) shall at any time exceed the Threshold Amount,
Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such
amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Documents any of the following: (1) cash, (2) U.S. Treasury
securities, (3) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and
with respect to which the applicable Rating Agencies have delivered a Rating
Comfort Letter (if required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement from
and after the occurrence of a Securitization), or (4) a Letter of
Credit. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of
the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements (other
than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or from
accounts established hereunder or Excluded Costs) over the Threshold
Amount. Upon completion of the alterations to the satisfaction of
Lender in its reasonable discretion Lender shall promptly return to Borrower
such additional security.

Section
5.8 Environmental
Matters
.
5.8.1 Environmental
Covenants. So long as Borrower owns or is in possession of the
Property, Borrower (i) shall keep or cause the Property to be kept free
from Hazardous Substances except those in compliance with all Environmental Laws
or any permits issued with respect thereto, (ii) shall promptly notify
Lender if Borrower shall become aware of any release of Hazardous Substances on
the Property and/or if Borrower shall become aware that the Property is in
violation of any Environmental Laws and/or if Borrower shall become aware of any
condition on the Property which shall pose a threat to the health, safety or
welfare of humans, and (iii) shall remove or remediate such Hazardous
Substances and/or cure such violations and/or remove or remediate such threats,
as applicable, as required by law (or as shall be reasonably required by Lender
in the case of removal or remediation which is not required by law, but in
response to the opinion of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental
engineer or other qualified consultant engaged by Lender (“Lender’s Consultant”) provided
that such removal, remediation or cure is reasonably necessary to eliminate
imminent danger to the health, safety or welfare of humans and would customarily
be performed by prudent owners of properties similar to the Property in similar
circumstances), promptly after Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrower’s
sole expense, without prejudice to any rights Borrower may have against any
responsible parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 5.8.1,
Borrower, Manager and/or tenants on the Property may use and store ordinary
amounts of Hazardous Substances at the Property if such use or storage is in
connection with business supplies used by Borrower, a tenant in accordance with
the terms of its Lease or by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement or is
in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the Property so long
as such use and storage (A) does not violate any applicable Environmental
Laws and (B) is not the subject of any specific recommendations in the
Environmental Reports that would prohibit such use or
storage. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such
expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or
cure. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 5.8.1 shall
survive any termination, satisfaction, or assignment of the Mortgage and the
exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, including,
without limitation, the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure; provided that such obligations and
liabilities of Borrower shall not survive after the date Lender or its
Affiliates take title to the Property pursuant to foreclosure or a conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure.
5.8.2 Asbestos. Borrower
represents and warrants that, to Borrower’s knowledge, no asbestos or any
substance or material containing asbestos (collectively, “Asbestos”) is located on the
Property except as may have been disclosed in the Environmental Reports
delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall not
install in the Property, nor permit to be installed in the Property, Asbestos
and shall remove any Asbestos to the extent required by applicable Legal
Requirements, at Borrower’s sole expense. Borrower shall in all
instances comply with, and ensure compliance by all occupants of the Property
with, all applicable federal, state and local laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations with respect to
54
Asbestos
and shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. In the event that Borrower
receives any notice or advice from any governmental agency or any source
whatsoever with respect to Asbestos on, affecting or installed on the Property,
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender.
5.8.3 Environmental
Monitoring. Except to the extent already disclosed in the
Environmental Reports, Borrower shall give prompt written notices to Lender
of: (a) any proceeding or inquiry by any party with respect to
the presence of any Hazardous Substance or Asbestos on, under, from or about the
Property, (b) all claims made or threatened by any third party against
Borrower or the Property relating to any loss or injury resulting from any
Hazardous Substance or Asbestos, and (c) Borrower’s discovery of any
occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of the
Property that could reasonably be expected to cause the Property to be subject
to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any Environmental
Law. Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at the
Property, Borrower shall (a) undertake an investigation to identify the
source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate
remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold, (b) perform or
cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of any
Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect any
portions of the Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any
necessary moisture control systems at the Property), and (c) provide evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing. Borrower shall
permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal
proceedings or actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection with
any actual or alleged violation of Environmental Law or the presence of
Hazardous Substance at the Property, and Borrower shall pay all reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection
therewith. Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time
while the Loan is outstanding but not more frequently than once per calendar
year, unless Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment)
that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection
or audit of the Property, Borrower shall provide at Borrower’s sole expense,
(i) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed
hydrogeologist or licensed environmental engineer approved by Lender indicating
the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property, and
(ii) an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a duly qualified
engineering or consulting firm approved by Lender, indicating the presence or
absence of Asbestos on the Property; provided, however, any such
inspection or audit requested by Lender, during the Term, in excess of one
(1) inspection during each three (3) year period commencing upon the date
hereof, shall be performed at Lender’s expense unless an Event of Default exists
or Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that
reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or
audit. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within
sixty (60) days after such request Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby
grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a
license to undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable prior notice to
Borrower and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with tenants or
occupants thereof. The cost of such inspection or audit obtained by
Lender upon Borrower’s failure to do so shall bear interest from the date such
costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be due and
payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes
written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to the
Debt. In the event that any environmental site assessment report
prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an
operations and maintenance plan be implemented for
55
Asbestos
or any Hazardous Substance, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance
plan to be prepared and implemented at Borrower’s expense upon request of
Lender, and with respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall take all action
necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by
Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including providing any necessary
moisture control systems at the Property. In the event that any
investigation, site monitoring, containment cleanup, removal, restoration, or
other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental
Law (the “Remedial
Work”), Borrower shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently
prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work, provided that in any event
Borrower shall complete such Remedial Work within the time required by
applicable Environmental Law, and provided, further, that Borrower’s obligation
to perform Remedial Work shall be without prejudice to any rights Borrower may
have against responsible parties. All Remedial Work shall be
performed by contractors approved in advance by Lender, and under the
supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs
and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower including, without
limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in
connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. Nothing
herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party
that may be liable for such Remedial Work. In the event Borrower
shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently
prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be
required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall bear interest from
the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and
shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the
date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to
the Debt.
5.8.4 Underground Storage
Tanks. Borrower shall not install or permit to be installed on
the Property any underground storage tank.
Section
5.9 Title to the

5.10.1 Generally. All
new Leases shall be subordinate to the Mortgage and the tenant thereunder shall
agree to attorn to Lender either pursuant to the Lease or a subordination,
nondisturbance and attornment agreement executed by such tenant and
Lender. None of the Leases shall contain any option to purchase, any
right of first refusal to purchase or any right by a tenant to terminate the
lease term (except for termination rights (i) set forth in the Existing
Leases or (ii) arising from a taking or the destruction of all or
substantially all of the Property or all or substantially all of a tenant’s
demised premises). Leases executed after the date hereof shall not
contain any provisions which adversely affect the Property or which might
adversely affect the rights of any holder of the Loan without the prior written
consent of Lender. Each

subletting under any Material Lease not in accordance with its terms,
(iv) cancel, terminate, abridge or otherwise modify any guaranty of any
Material Lease or the terms thereof, (v) accept prepayments of installments
of Rents for a period of more than one (1) month in advance (other than
estimated payments of taxes and reimbursable expenses paid by tenants pursuant
to their Leases) or (vi) further assign the whole or any part of the Leases
or the Rents other than in connection with a Transfer and
Assumption. If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent under
this Section
5.10.2 within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent
shall be deemed granted, provided that such request shall have been accompanied
by all information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to
evaluate such request and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or
greater, that if Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10)
Business Days, Lender’s consent shall be deemed to have been
granted. In the event that Lender refuses to grant any such consent,
Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for such refusal. In
addition, Borrower shall not (A) lease all or any part of the Property,
(B) cancel, terminate (other than as a result of a tenant default
thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify the terms of any Lease in any material
respect, or accept a surrender thereof, (C) consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Lease not in accordance with its terms or (D) cancel,
terminate, abridge or otherwise modify in any material respect any guaranty of
any Lease or the terms thereof, unless such actions are exercised for a
commercially reasonable purpose in arms-length transactions for market rate
terms. The foregoing shall not apply to any Lease or license entered
into with a Taxable REIT Subsidiary.
5.10.3 Minor
Leases. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.10.2
above, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, renewals, amendments and
modifications of existing Leases and proposed leases, shall not be subject to
the prior approval of Lender provided (i) the proposed lease would be a
Minor Lease or the existing Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease is
a Minor Lease, (ii) the proposed lease shall be written substantially in
accordance with the standard form of Lease which shall have been approved by
Lender, (iii) the Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease or
series of leases or proposed lease or series of leases: (a) shall provide for
net effective rental rates comparable to existing local market rates, (b) shall
have a term of not less than three (3) years or greater than ten (10) years,
(c) shall provide for automatic self-operative subordination to the
Mortgage and, at Lender’s option, (x) attornment to Lender and (y) the
unilateral right by Lender, at the option of Lender, to subordinate the Lien of
the Mortgage to the Lease, and (d) shall not contain any option to
purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except
in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the
Property), any requirement for a non-disturbance or recognition agreement, or
any other provision which might adversely affect the rights of Lender under the
Loan Documents in any material respect. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding
sentence together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the
conditions of the preceding sentence
57
within
ten (10) days after the execution of the Lease. With respect to any
Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease that
requires Lender’s consent under this Section 5.10.3,
provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Borrower provides Lender
with a written request for approval (which written request shall specifically
refer to this Section 5.10.3
and shall explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove
within ten (10) Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender
fails to reject the request in writing delivered to Borrower within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt by Lender of the request, the proposed Lease or
proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease shall be deemed
approved by Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such proposed
Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing
Lease.
5.10.4 Additional Covenants with
Respect to Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform
all the material obligations imposed upon the lessor, grantor or licensor, as
applicable, under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to
impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall
promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall
send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all the material terms,
covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee,
grantee or licensee, as applicable, thereunder to be observed or performed,
short of termination thereof (unless by reason of default thereunder);
(iv) shall not collect any of the Rents (other than estimated payments of
taxes and reimbursable expenses paid by tenants pursuant to their Leases) more
than one (1) month in advance; (v) shall not execute any other assignment
of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents except in connection with a
Transfer and Assumption; (vi) shall, upon request of Lender, request and
use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender tenant
estoppel certificates from each commercial tenant at the Property in form and

required to deliver such certificates more frequently than two (2) times in any
calendar year; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender
all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with
the Property as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.
5.10.5 Security
Deposits. All security deposits of tenants, whether held in
cash or any other form, if cash, shall be deposited by Borrower at such
commercial or savings bank or banks and shall be held in compliance with
applicable Legal Requirements, as may be reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to
hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable legal requirements
shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits
unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall (if issued
after the date hereof) be fully assignable to Lender and shall, in all respects,
comply with any applicable legal requirements and otherwise be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender
with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with
the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by any
applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and
any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of
the Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the
Leases.
Section

Principal, (ii) the Interest Rate, (iii) the date installments of
interest and/or Principal were last paid, (iv) any offsets or defenses to
the payment of the Debt, and (v) that the Loan Documents are valid, legal
and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving

the Management Agreement in full force and effect and timely perform all of
Borrower’s obligations thereunder and enforce performance in all material
respects of all obligations of the Manager thereunder, and except as otherwise
permitted by the Loan Documents, not permit the termination or amendment of the
Management Agreement unless the prior written consent of Lender is first
obtained, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Borrower shall cause the Manager to enter into an assignment
and subordination of the management agreement in form satisfactory to Lender
(the “Subordination of
Management Agreement”). The Subordination of Management
Agreement shall assign and subordinate the Manager’s interests in the Property
and all fees and other rights of the Manager pursuant to the Management
Agreement to the rights of Lender. Upon an Event of Default, Borrower
shall, at Lender’s request made at any time while such Event of Default
continues, terminate, or cause the termination of, the Management
Agreement. After the date hereof, Borrower shall not enter into any
agreement relating to the management of the Property with any party without the
express written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld to the extent that such manager is an affiliate of Borrower); provided, however, with respect
to a new manager of the Property (but not a leasing agent or subcontractor
appointed in accordance with the Management Agreement) such consent may also be
conditioned upon Borrower delivering (i) a Rating Comfort Letter (if
required pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement from and after the
occurrence of a Securitization) with respect to such new manager and management
agreement (other than a Qualified Manager that is Controlled (in the sense of
clause (ii) of the defined term “Control”) by the REIT), and (ii) evidence
satisfactory to Lender (which shall include, at the request of Lender, a legal
non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender) that the single purpose nature
and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as
the case may be, after the engagement of the new manager are in accordance with
the requirements of the Rating Agencies. If at any time Lender
consents to the appointment of a new manager, such new manager and Borrower
shall, as a condition of Lender’s consent, execute an assignment and
subordination of such management agreement in the form then used by
Lender.
5.12.2 Termination of
Manager. Borrower, upon the request of Lender, shall terminate
the Manager, without penalty or fee, if at any time during the Term (a) the
Manager shall become Insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding, (b) there exists an Event of Default for which Lender has not
accepted a cure thereof, (c) the Maturity Date has occurred and the Loan
has not been repaid or (d) the Manager’s gross negligence, malfeasance or
willful misconduct or the occurrence of a default by Manager under the
Management Agreement
59
and its
continuance beyond any applicable notice or cure period. At such time
as the Manager is removed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Loan Documents, a replacement manager and management agreement
acceptable to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies in their sole discretion
shall assume management of the Property and shall receive a property management
fee not to exceed the then current market rates and such replacement manager and
Borrower shall, execute an assignment and subordination of such management
agreement in the form then used by Lender.

Reliance. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and
relied on the creditworthiness and experience of Borrower in owning and
operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and that
Lender will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means
of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the
Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in
maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower
default in the repayment of the Debt, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of
the Property.

conveyance, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumbrance, pledge, assignment, lease,

Required. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any
actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in

violation of this Section 5.26 without
Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer
regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented
to any previous Transfer. Lender’s consent to one Transfer shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of Lender’s right to require such consent to any future
Transfer. Any Transfer made in contravention of this Section 5.26 shall be
null and void and of no force and effect. Borrower agree to bear and shall pay
or reimburse Lender on demand for all reasonable expenses (including, without

6.3 Financial
Reporting
.
6.3.1 Financial
Statements. The financial statements heretofore furnished to
Lender with respect to Borrower, the OP and the REIT are, as of the dates
specified therein, complete and correct in all material respects and fairly
present in all material respects the
75
financial
condition of Borrower, the OP and the REIT and are prepared in accordance with
GAAP. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no
materially adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of
Borrower, the OP and the REIT from that set forth in said financial
statements.
6.3.2 Quarterly
Reports. Borrower will maintain full and accurate books of
accounts and other records reflecting the results of the operations of the
Property and will furnish to Lender on or before forty-five (45) days after the
end of each calendar quarter the following items, each certified by Borrower as
being true and correct in all material respects: (i) a written
statement (rent roll) dated as of the last day of each such calendar quarter
identifying each of the Leases (excluding subleases) by the term, space
occupied, rental required to be paid, security deposit paid, any rental
concessions, and a report identifying any defaults or payment delinquencies
thereunder; (ii) monthly and year to date operating statements prepared for
each calendar month during each such calendar quarter, noting Net Operating
Income, and operating expenses, and including an itemization of actual (not pro
forma) capital expenditures and other information necessary and sufficient under
generally accepted accounting practices to fairly represent the financial
position and results of operation of the Property during such calendar month,
all in form satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a property balance sheet for each
such calendar quarter; (iv) a comparison of the budgeted income and
expenses and the actual income and expenses for year to date together with a
detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%) or more between
budgeted and actual amounts for such year to date period; and (v) a
calculation reflecting the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the last day of
each such calendar quarter. Until a Securitization has occurred,
Borrower shall furnish monthly each of the items listed in the immediately
preceding sentence within thirty (30) days after the end of such
month.
6.3.3 Annual
Reports. Within 120 days following the end of each calendar
year (provided,
however, if
requested by Lender, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide Lender with any unaudited annual statements prior to such date),
Borrower shall furnish statements of its financial affairs and condition
including a balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss for Borrower in
such detail as Lender may reasonably request, and setting forth the financial
condition and the income and expenses for the Property for the immediately
preceding calendar year, which statements shall be prepared by
Borrower. Borrower’s annual financial statements shall include
(x) a list of the tenants, if any, occupying more than twenty (20%) percent

the year in which each Lease then in effect expires and the percentage of total
floor area of the Improvements and the percentage of base rent with respect to
which Leases shall expire in each such year, each such percentage to be
expressed on both a per year and a cumulative basis. Borrower’s
annual financial statements shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a
financial officer of Borrower or the REIT stating that each such annual
financial statement presents fairly, in all material respects, the financial
condition of the Property being reported upon and shall be audited by a “Big
Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Lender, which audited financial statements may be in
the form of schedules to the audited consolidated financial statements of the
REIT. Each such annual financial statement shall be prepared in
accordance with GAAP. At any time and from time to time Borrower
shall deliver to Lender or its agents such other financial data as Lender or its
agents shall reasonably request with respect to the ownership, maintenance, use
and operation of the Property.

6.3.4 Annual
Budget. Borrower shall submit to Lender by December 15th of each
year during the Term of the Loan a detailed budget (an “Annual Budget”) for the
Property covering the calendar year commencing on the following January 1, each
of which budgets shall be subject to Lender’s approval, not to be unreasonably
withheld, (provided that Borrower shall have the option to submit to Lender a
revised budget not later than June 30th of each
year during the Term of the Loan to adjust such budget on the basis of the
actual results of Borrower to such point in such calendar year) (each such
budget, when so approved, is referred to as an “Approved Annual
Budget”). Until such time that Lender approves a proposed
Annual Budget, Borrower may operate under the most recently Approved Annual
Budget (adjusted to reflect actual increases in real estate taxes, insurance
premiums, utilities expenses, labor costs, interest and other fixed costs with
respect to the ownership, operation and financing of the
Property).

INSURANCE;
CASUALTY; AND CONDEMNATION
Section
7.1 Insurance
.
7.1.1 Coverage. Borrower
shall maintain insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the
following coverages:
(a) comprehensive
all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Equipment, in each case
(A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which
for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of
costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a
waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with
respect to the Improvements and Equipment waiving all co insurance provisions;
(C) providing for no “all risk” deductible in excess of $100,000; and
(D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement
if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time
constitute legal non conforming structures or uses. In addition,
Borrower shall obtain: (x) Flood Insurance in an amount
sufficient to cover the lesser of 20% of the insured building improvements, or
the value of the first floor building improvements, subject to a deductible not
to exceed $500,000; (y) earthquake insurance in an amount equal to the full
replacement value less a deductible of five percent (5%) of the Total Insured
Value (which includes annual rental value) at the Property, and otherwise in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender if a Seismic Report shows
the PML to be 20% or greater; and (z) windstorm insurance in amounts and in
form and substance satisfactory to Lender if coverage is ever excluded from the
all risk policy, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x), (y) and
(z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk
insurance policy required under this subsection (a) and
rental interruption insurance under subsection (c)
below;
(b) commercial
general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury,
death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such
insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined
limit of not less than $2,000,000
77
in the
aggregate and $1,000,000 per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than
the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason
of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and
(C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises
and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis;
(3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all
legal contracts; and (5) liability that may arise from acts of terrorism,
if commercially available. The self-insured retention or deductible
for general liability coverage is not to exceed $100,000 per occurrence subject
to a $750,000 maximum. This deductible is to be initially funded with
a letter of credit in the amount of $200,000, held and administrated by the
carrier. Once the first $200,000 is exhausted additional Letters of
Credit must be continually posted until the $750,000 maximum deductible is
exhausted.
(c) rental
interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender (allowing
reimbursement to Borrower for reasonable operating costs during the
interruption); (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the
insurance provided for in subsection (a) above;
(C) containing an unlimited period of restoration and extended period of
indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the
Improvements and Equipment has been repaired, the continued loss of rental
income will be insured until such rental income either returns to the same level
it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date
that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever
first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of
such period, provided that the unlimited period of restoration endorsement may
be limited to the length of time required with the exercise of due diligence and
dispatch to rebuild, repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property; and
(D) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the
Property for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date that the Property is
repaired or replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of such
rental interruption insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and
at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of
the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month
period. Subject to the rights of Lender and subject to the provisions
of Section
7.4.1(j) below, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this
subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations
secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and
under the Note; provided, however, that nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay
the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment
provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such
amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such rental interruption
insurance;
(d) at
all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being
made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the property coverage form
does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability
insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the
above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the

(4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co insurance
provisions;

(e) Workers’
Compensation insurance, as required by any governmental authority or any Legal
Requirements and Employer’s Liability Insurance of not less than $1,000,000 for
each occurrence;
(f) comprehensive
boiler and machinery insurance in an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender on
terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under
subsections (a) and
(c) above;
(g) umbrella
liability insurance in an amount not less than $50,000,000 per occurrence, on
terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy and
motor liability insurance policy required under subsection
(b) above and subsection (h) below,
on a portfolio basis naming the Property and all other properties owned by the
OP and/or its Affiliates; provided, that such insurance may be provided under a
blanket insurance Policy so long as the coverage required pursuant to this
clause is not reduced below the per occurrence limit set forth in this
clause;
(h) motor
vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non owned vehicles, including
rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, excluding
umbrella coverage, of $1,000,000;
(i) if
the Property is or becomes a legal "non conforming" use, ordinance and law
coverage is required based on the following minimum limits: Coverage
A (value of the undamaged portion) to be included with the insured building
limit; Coverage B (demolition/debris removal) at 10% of insured building value,
or if a stated value is required, in a minimum limit to compliment the
destruction threshold in the applicable building code; and Coverage C (increased
cost of construction) at 10% of insured building value;
(j) if
“certified acts of terrorism”, as declared by the United States Government, are
now or hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance
policy, business income coverage, commercial general liability insurance or
umbrella liability insurance coverage, Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to
such policies, or separate policies, insuring against all such “certified acts
of terrorism” (such acts or events so excluded, “Terrorism Acts”); provided
Borrower shall not be required to spend in excess of an amount equal to 150% of
the aggregate amount of all insurance premiums payable for all coverages
required for the Loan with respect to the Property and all other properties
owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates per annum for the last policy year in
which coverage for terrorism was included as part of the “all risk” property
policy, adjusted annually by a percentage equal to the increase in the Consumer
Price Index (hereinafter defined) (the “Terrorism Premium Cap”) for
such coverage and, in the event that coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the
Full Replacement Cost is not available at a per annum cost of the Terrorism
Premium Cap, then Borrower shall purchase insurance covering Terrorism Acts in
an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan, but shall not be required
to maintain the full amount of such coverage if such coverage is not available
at a per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap or less, provided that in the
event that the Terrorism Premium Cap is not sufficient to purchase such coverage
in an amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan, then Borrower shall
obtain the greatest amount of coverage obtainable at a per annum cost of the
Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein, “Consumer Price Index” means
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
79
Consumers
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of
Labor, New York Metropolitan Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any
successor index thereto, approximately adjusted, and in the event that the
Consumer Price Index is converted to a different standard reference base or
otherwise revised, the determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be
made with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the
Consumer Price Index as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or,
if said Bureau shall not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion
factor, formula or table as may be published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any
other nationally recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if
the Consumer Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor
thereto (i) such other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing
or (ii) if Lender and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other
index, as reasonably selected by Lender.
In the
event that the limits of insurance in place covering Terrorism Acts on a
portfolio basis are exhausted by damage to a property other than the Property,
then Borrower shall restore the coverage provided for in clause (x) above
(or any lesser amount of coverage that is available if such coverage is not
available), to the extent such insurance is commercially available;
and
(k) upon
sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such
reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against
such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for
property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the
Property is located.
7.1.2 Policies. All
insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 above
shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular,
the “Policy”) and shall
be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies,
amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies (or a
“cut-through” endorsement, approved by Lender, with respect to any such Policy)
shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies
authorized to do business in the State and, except in the case of flood hazard
insurance and earthquake insurance, having a claims paying ability rating of “A”
or better by S&P and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx’x (provided, however for
multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue
the Policies, then at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the insurance coverage
represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a
claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by
any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any
other Rating Agency) or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue
the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage
represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a
claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by
any other Rating Agency), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any
other Rating Agency). The Policies described in Section 7.1.1 above
(other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate
Lender as loss payee and Lender shall be an additional named insured, as its
interests may appear. Five (5) days prior to the renewal dates of the
Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing
the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the
premiums due thereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
80
7.1.3 Insurance
Premiums. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof,
Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the
same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal
of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the
event that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3
hereof). If Borrower is required to furnish such evidence and
receipts pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrower does not furnish such
evidence and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any
expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure,
such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to
reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on
demand. Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender,
Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required
hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration
changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in
prudent customs and practices of owners of property similar to the Property
located in or around the region in which the Property is located and as may be
available at commercially reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that
the Policies, delivered with respect to the Property as of the date hereof
satisfy the requirements of this Article
7. Such approval shall continue in effect until the expiration
or termination of such Policies, provided that there is not a downgrade by
S&P or Xxxxx’x of any insurer providing such Policies and, as a result
thereof, Borrower fails to satisfy the rating criteria set forth in Section 7.1.2
above. Any renewal or replacement of such Policies, however, shall
require Lender’s approval as provided above in this Section 7.1.3 unless
(i) the companies providing such renewal or replacement Policies are
licensed or authorized to do business in the state where the Property is located
and have a claims paying ability rating by S&P and Xxxxx’x that satisfy the
requirements set forth in Section 7.1.2 above
or that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.5 below,
such rating is no less than the rating as of the date hereof of the company
providing the insurance approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (ii) the
coverage provided by such renewal or replacement Policies is no less than the
coverage approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such renewal or
replacement Policies contain in all material respects the same terms and
conditions as the Policies approved by Lender as of the date hereof and
(iv) Lender has not notified Borrower in accordance with this Section 7.1 that the
requirements for the Policies have changed since the date
hereof.
7.1.4 Blanket
Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section 7.1 may be
effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Property and other
property and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided that any
blanket Policy shall specify, except in the case of general liability insurance,
the portion of the total coverage of such blanket Policy that is allocated
exclusively to the Property and shall comply in all respects with the
requirements of this Article
7. Lender hereby confirms that it approves (i) the terms
of the existing Property Insurance Sharing Agreement among Borrower and certain
of its Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance Premiums are financed
through one or more finance companies (individually and/or collectively, the
“Blanket Insurance Premium
Financing Arrangement”) to whom Borrower pays Borrower’s allocable share
of the annual initial deposit and the monthly payments due for each blanket
Policy to the applicable finance company (with respect to each blanket Policy,
such monthly payment, together with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable
share
81
of the
annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such
Policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date, each, a “Financing
Installment”).

7.2.1 Notice;
Restoration. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in
whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall
give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a
Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available
(unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such insurance
proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1 below),
shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of
at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such
damage or destruction (a “Casualty Restoration”), all to
be effected in accordance with applicable law.
7.2.2 Settlement of
Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an
“Insured Casualty”)
occurs where the loss does not exceed $1,500,000, provided no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any
claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried
out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to
collect and receipt for the Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter
defined). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds
$1,500,000 (a “Significant
Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any
claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) in a
commercially reasonable manner on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the
Insurance Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender
in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance
herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on
any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to a Significant
Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties
to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The
expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the
Insurance Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by
Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days following
demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if
in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a
property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or
rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of
designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as
between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or
rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to
Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining net Insurance Proceeds that
will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100%
of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Insurance
Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms
hereof, that such remaining net Insurance Proceeds, together with any portion of
the amount treated as business or rental interruption insurance that will be
paid to Lender, will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.

.
7.3.1 Notice;
Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender written
notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent
domain proceeding (a “Condemnation”) and shall
deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is available (unless Lender
has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant to
Section 7.4.1
below), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same
to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the
same character as prior to such Condemnation (a “Condemnation Restoration”,
together with a Casualty Restoration, collectively a “Restoration”), all to be
effected in accordance with applicable law.
7.3.2 Collection of
Award. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain any award or payment (“Award”) for any taking
accomplished through a Condemnation (a “Taking”) and to make any
commercially reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with any such
Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the
right, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
to compromise and collect or receive any award that does not exceed
$1,500,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public or quasi-public
authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of such a Taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the
time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award
shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of
collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not
be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but
shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates
provided in the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable
to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. The expenses incurred by
Lender in the adjustment and collection of the Award shall become part of the
Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within
ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

connection with the Restoration of the Property and Improvements:
(a) If
the Net Proceeds shall be less than $1,500,000 and the costs of completing the
Restoration shall be less than $1,500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by
Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth

completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $1,500,000 Lender shall
make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the
provisions of this Section
7.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall
mean: (A) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by
Lender pursuant to Section 7.1.1(a), (d), (f), (i) and
(j) hereof (and any similar or comparable types of insurance obtained
pursuant to Section
7.1.1(i) hereof as a result of such damage or destruction, after
deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to,
reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (B)
the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any,
actually incurred in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”),
whichever the case may be.
(c) The
Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that
each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (1) in
the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent
(30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or
rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the
event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent
(15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located
along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the
Improvements is located in such land;
(iii) Leases
demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total
rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of
such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and
after the completion of the Restoration;
(iv) Borrower
shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no
event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender
shall be reasonably 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
fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out
of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
Section
7.1.1(c) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of
Borrower;
(vi) Lender
shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the
earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the
earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Required
Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law,
ordinance, rule or
84
regulation
in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in
immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the
condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or
(4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1.1(c)
hereof;
(vii) the
Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with
and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all necessary operating or reciprocal easement agreements for
the operation and maintenance of the Property are, or remain, in
effect;
(viii) the
Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental
laws); and
(ix) such
fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in a material
loss of access to the Property.
(d) Unless
such amounts are payable to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof or
Section 7.3
hereof, the Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account
for the benefit of Borrower (which interest shall be added to and become a part
of the Net Proceeds) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of
this Section
7.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be
disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the
course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed
(except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested
disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and
(B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or
materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the
Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of
Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the
reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the title
insurance policy.
(e) All
plans and specifications required in connection with any Restoration following a
Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $1,500,000 or more shall
be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender
and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”) provided
that if the correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting approval of any
such plans and specifications (or contractors, subcontractors or materialmen in
connection therewith) contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend at the top of
the first page stating that “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL
IN WRITING WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED
GIVEN”, and if Lender fails to respond to such request for approval in writing
within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Lender of such written
request, the related plans and specifications and all information reasonably
required in order to adequately review the same, then such approval will be
deemed given. Lender shall have the use of the plans and
specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in
connection with the Restoration. The identity of the
85
contractors,
subcontractors and materialmen engaged in any Restoration following a Casualty
or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $3,000,000 or more, as well as the
contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review
and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which acceptance shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All costs and
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available
for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and
disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by
Borrower.
(f) In
no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean
an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard costs actually incurred for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty
Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set
forth above in this clause (f), be less than the amount actually held back by
Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the
Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the
Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4.1 and
that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have
been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi governmental
authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs
of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the
Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender
will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to
any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of
the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work
and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the
contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor,
subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment
in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may
be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the title
insurance policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the title insurance
policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence
of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required
by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be
approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman.
(g) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(h) If
at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in
the reasonable opinion of Lender 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 the
Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with
Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be
made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held
by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with
the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net
Proceeds, and until so disbursed
86
pursuant
to this Section
7.4 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(i) The
excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 7.4.1, and
the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred
in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by
Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall
be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.
(j) Notwithstanding
the last sentence of Section 7.1.1(c)
above and provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, proceeds received by
Lender on account of the rental or business interruption insurance specified in
Section
7.1.1(c) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender
directly into the Deposit Account and allocated as Rents in accordance with
Section 3.11(a)
hereof but (a) only to the extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost
Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such
Casualty, and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases that had not yet been
executed and delivered at the time of such Casualty which Borrower has proven to
the insurer under the related Policy would have been due under such Leases (and
then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by such insurer reflect a
replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) only to the extent necessary
to fully make the disbursements required by Section 3.11(a)
hereof. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed
in accordance with this Section
7.4.
7.4.2 Application to
Debt. All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made
available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess
Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4.1(i)
above may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt
whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as
Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of
Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such
purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.

Section
8.2 Remedies
.
89
(a) Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described
in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 hereof)
and at any time and from time to time thereafter while such an Event of Default
is then continuing, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it
pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such
action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and
enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property including
declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest,
Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium and any
other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand.
(b) Upon
any Event of Default described in paragraph (f), (g) or (s) of Section 8.1 hereof,
the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment
Charges, Spread Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower)
shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or
demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything
contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies
Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available
to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may
be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or
any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and
whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other
action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan
Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and
concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or
otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or
otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law,
equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of
Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule,
and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to
Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of
its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the
Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as
requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction
of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender
may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its
discretion.
8.2.3 Severance. Lender
shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security
documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender
shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its
rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender
from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement
and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the
90
severance
described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably
appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in
its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to
effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by
virtue thereof.
8.2.4 Delay. No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event
of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall
impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default
or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency
claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary
to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash
Management Accounts or any other collateral.
8.2.5 Lender’s Right to
Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or
obligation contained herein (including the covenant set forth in the last
sentence of Section
5.4.1 hereof) and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5)
Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender,
without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers
or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents,
Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of,
such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and
fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by
Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written
demand therefor and, if not paid, shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent
permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan
Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default
Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation
to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

9.1.1 Cooperation in
Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and,
to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under the Note,
Loan Agreement or other Loan Documents, Borrower and its affiliates shall use
reasonable efforts to comply with the requests of the holder of the Note or to
take such action as may be required by a purchaser, transferee, assignee,
servicer, participant or other potential investor (collectively, the “Investor”) or by the Rating
Agencies in connection with one or more sales, transfers or assignments of the
Loan (or portions thereof or interests therein), or grants of participation
interests therein, in connection with one or more securitizations of such Note,

issuance
of rated or unrated single-class or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or
evidencing direct or indirect ownership interests in, among other things, the
Note (or any portion thereof or interests therein) and the Loan
Agreement. Such efforts, with respect to each Securitization may
include, without limitation, to:

such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower, the
OP (or any other Guarantor) and the REIT (the OP (or any other Guarantor) and
the REIT, being individually or collectively referred to herein as the “Parent”) and the manager of

requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies, and/or Investors in
the Securities, or as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in connection
with the Securitization in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with
the tenants or occupants thereof (such information in clauses (i), (ii) and
(iii) being collectively referred to as the “Provided Information”),
together with appropriate verification and/or consents with respect to the
Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of
independent attorneys acceptable to the holder of the Note and the Rating
Agencies;
(b) prepare
a presentation for the Rating Agencies describing Borrower, Parent, the
Property, management of the Property and such other matters as are customary for
securitizations such as the Securitization, in each case as may be reasonably
requested by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the
Securities or as may be reasonably determined by the holder of the Note to be
necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization;
(c) cause
counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note,
the Rating Agencies, Investors and/or other participants in the Securitization,
as to non consolidation or any other opinion customary in securitization
transactions with respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent and their respective
affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the
holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the
Securities;
(d) work
with and, if requested, supervise third-party service providers engaged by
Borrower to obtain, collect and deliver information reasonably required by the
Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization;
(e) if
required by the Rating Agencies, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other
agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel
letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably
satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
92
(f) make
such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization
with respect to the Property, Borrower, Parent, the Note, Loan Agreement and
other Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note,
the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities and as are consistent
with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on
the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Note,
Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents; and
(g) execute
such amendments to the Note, Loan Agreement, other Loan Documents and
organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the
Note, the Rating Agencies and/or Investors in the Securities or otherwise to
effect one or more Securitizations (including, without limitation, such
amendments as shall be necessary or advisable to sever the Note (and/or any then
existing component thereof) into one or more notes and/or one or more components
and allocate Principal amounts thereof in order to effectuate one or more sales
of the Note (and/or the resulting notes or components thereof) and/or to
correspond to the related classes of Securities in one or more Securitizations
so long as, in all such cases, the overall duration-weighted interest rate over
all of the notes and components shall equal the Interest Rate); provided, however, that
Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend the Note, Loan Agreement or
any other Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (i) have a
material adverse economic effect on Borrower or its Affiliates, (ii) modify
or amend the loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the Loan or
(iii) otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease
the rights of Borrower or the other parties pursuant to the Note, Loan Agreement
and other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, modifying the transfer,
recourse, prepayment, event of default or remedy provisions of the Loan
Documents or the organizational documents of Borrower or its
Affiliate).
9.1.2 Costs and
Expenses. Borrower, the REIT and their Affiliates will bear
their own internal costs of cooperation required by this Agreement in connection
with any Securitization, but Lender shall be responsible for all other
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with any Securitization after the
closing of the Loan.
9.1.3 Indemnification.
(a) Borrower
and its respective Affiliates understand that certain of the Provided
Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with each
Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheets, structured
term sheets and computational materials (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may
also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or
made available to Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies and service
providers relating to such Securitization. In the event that such
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all
Securities, Borrower, and its respective Affiliates will cooperate with the
holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in
all material respects; provided, however, that this
provision shall be limited to those portions of the Disclosure Document that
described Borrower or any of its Affiliates, the Property, the Loan or the other
Loan Documents.
93
(c) In
the case of each Securitization, in connection with filings under the Exchange
Act, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) each Person in the Indemnified Group
for Liabilities to which each such Person may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or an alleged
untrue statement in the Provided Information or an omission or alleged omission
to state in the Provided Information a material fact known to Borrower that is
necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is not expressly
disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has been given an opportunity to
review such filings under the
94
Exchange
Act and (ii) each Person in the Indemnified Group for any reasonable legal
or other expenses incurred by each such Person in connection with defending or
investigating the Liabilities for which an indemnity is owed
hereunder.
(d) Promptly
after receipt by a party seeking indemnification hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect of
which a claim is to be made under this Section 9.1.3, such
party will notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the
omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability
which Borrower may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent
that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower. In the event
that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies
Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that Borrower may elect by written notice delivered
to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such
indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from Borrower to
such indemnified party hereunder, Borrower shall be responsible for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and Borrower
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are
different from or in addition to those available to Borrower, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrower shall not be
liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified
party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available
to Borrower that are different from or additional to those available to another
indemnified party.
(e) In
order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which
any indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.3 is for
any reason held to be unenforceable, unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities which would
otherwise be indemnifiable hereunder, Borrower shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities; provided, however, that if any
indemnified party is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning
of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) it shall not be entitled to contribution
from Borrower if Borrower was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which
the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be
considered: (i) the relative knowledge and access to information
concerning the matter with respect to which a claim was asserted; (ii) the
opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any
other equitable considerations appropriate in the
circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be
equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per
capita allocation.
(f) The
liabilities and obligations of Borrower and its Affiliates hereunder shall
survive the termination of the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents and
the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
95
(g) Each
Person in the Indemnified Group is an intended third party beneficiary of the
obligations of Borrower herein.
9.1.4 Rating
Surveillance. Lender will retain the Rating Agencies to
provide rating surveillance services on Securities. The pro rata
expenses of such surveillance will be paid for by Borrower based on the
applicable percentage of such expenses determined by dividing the then
outstanding Principal by the then aggregate outstanding amount of the pool
created in the Securitization which includes the Loan.
9.1.5 Severance of
Loan. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior
to, in connection with, or after any Securitization), with respect to all or any
portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the
Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender
may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second
mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C
structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and
allocate or reallocate the Principal balance of the Loan among such components)
or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured by
mortgages, in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority
Lender determines; provided, however, in each such
instance the outstanding Principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan
(or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such
modification equals the outstanding Principal balance of the Loan immediately
prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for
all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective
date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note
immediately prior to such modification and such action shall not result in
additional costs to Borrower except as expressly provided above. If
requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if
applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after
such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence
and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

the “Borrower Parties”)
or any other Person, to perform and observe the obligations contained in this
Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents by any action or
proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against any of the Borrower
Parties or any other Person, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action,
an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding
to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon the Property, the Rents or any
other collateral given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan

Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency
judgment against any of the Borrower Parties or any other Person in any such
action or proceeding under or by reason of or in connection with this Agreement,

any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name
any of the Borrower Parties, as a party defendant in any action or suit for
foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or
enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any rights

thereof;
(c) the
material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification
provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in this Agreement
concerning Environmental Laws, Hazardous Substances or Asbestos;
(d) the

(e) the
misapplication or conversion by Borrower or any affiliate thereof of
(i) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or
destruction to the Property, (ii) any awards or other amounts received in
connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property,
(iii) any Rents following an Event of Default or (iv) any Rents paid
more than one (1) month in advance;

Borrower has complied with Section 5.2 hereof;
and
97
(g) any

the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the
Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security
deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the
Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such
foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents (i) Lender shall not
be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim
for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue
to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents,
and (ii) the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrower (but not its members
(other than Guarantor solely to the extent provided in the Non-Recourse
Guaranty) or other direct or indirect constituent members or partners or any
other Person) in the event that: (A) the first full Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount under the Note is not paid when due; (B) other than
in connection with a default under subsection (x) of the definition of
Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity set forth in Schedule 5 hereto,
Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote
Entity in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and such failure
results in the substantive consolidation of Borrower with another Person;
(C) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower
fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any subordinate financing or
other voluntary lien encumbering the Property; (D) except as otherwise
permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s
prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Property
or any interest therein as and to the extent required by this Agreement or the
Mortgage; (E) (1) if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state
law, shall be filed by Borrower or Guarantor, or (2) if Borrower or
Guarantor files an answer consenting to, or otherwise joining in, any
involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to
federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law filed against it by
any other Person, or is found pursuant to a final, unappealable order of a court
of competent jurisdiction to have solicited or caused to be solicited creditors
to file any involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement
pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law against
Borrower or Guarantor, or (3) if Borrower or Guarantor are found, pursuant
to a final unappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, to have been
in collusion with creditors that initiate a bankruptcy action or proceeding
against Borrower or Guarantor or (F) an Event of Default described in Section
8.1(s) hereof shall have occurred.
Section
10.2 Brokers and Financial
Advisors
. Borrower
hereby represents that, with the exception of Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Company (whose
fees shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to a separate agreement), it has dealt
with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or
finders in connection with the Loan. Borrower shall indemnify and
hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with
enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in
any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including
Xxxxxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Company) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in
connection with the transactions contemplated

reserves the right to retain the Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with
such powers as are specifically delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any Pooling and Servicing Agreement or
similar agreement entered into as a result of a Securitization, the Deposit
Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees
and expenses of the Servicer (i) in connection with a release of the
Property (or any portion thereof), (ii) from and after a transfer of the
Loan to any “master servicer” or “special servicer” for any reason, including
without limitation, as a result of a decline in the occupancy level of the
Property, (iii) in connection with an assumption or modification of the
Loan, (iv) in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents or
(v) in connection with any other action taken by Servicer hereunder on
behalf of Lender (which shall not include ongoing regular servicing fees
relating to the day-to-day servicing of the Loan, for which Borrower shall not
be charged).
Section
10.4 Survival
. This
Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made
herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the
Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any of the Debt is
unpaid or such longer period if expressly set forth in this
Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement
shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors
and assigns of Lender.
Section
10.5 Lender’s
Discretion
. Whenever
pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender exercises any
right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or
any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s
discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or
withhold consent, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or
not satisfactory, or acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall
(except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion
of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.

Section
10.9 Headings/Exhibits
. The
Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of

purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by
reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set
forth in the body hereof.
Section
10.10 Severability
101
. 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
10.11 Preferences
. Upon
the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, 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 to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any
collateral, which is in whole or part subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law,
common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds
received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and
continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been
received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
Section
10.12 Waiver of
Notice
. Borrower
shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except
with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower
and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to
applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of
notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any
notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document
specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to
Borrower.
Section
10.13 Remedies of
Borrower
. If
a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including
Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case
where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that
neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any
monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action
seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or
proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined
by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically
waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect
to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.
Section
10.14 Prior
Agreements
. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the
parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or
between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
102
. Borrower
hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or
compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by
Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to
make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of
Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and
clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to
interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section
10.16 Publicity
. All
news releases, publicity or advertising through any media intended to reach the
general public (collectively, “Public Releases”) issued by
Borrower or its Affiliates that refer to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or
any member of the Indemnified Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the
trustee in a Securitization shall be subject to the prior written approval of
Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any Public Releases
without Borrower’s approval.
Section
10.17 No Usury
. Borrower
and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable
United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for,
charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state
law) and that this Section 10.17 shall
control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the
applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render
usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or
contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt,
or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or
any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in
excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s
express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be
credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has
been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions
of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any
new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the
recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention
of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the
Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is
outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity
of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to
collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
Section
10.18 Conflict; Construction of
Documents
103
Section
10.19 No Third Party
Beneficiaries
. The
Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing
contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than
the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section
10.20 Spread Maintenance
Premium
. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
UNDERSTANDS THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER HAS AGREED
THAT BORROWER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE SPREAD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM
TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED HEREIN IF BORROWER PREPAYS THE LOAN FOLLOWING THE
OCCURRENCE OF AN ACCELERATION OF THE LOAN AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF AN EVENT OF
DEFAULT. FURTHERMORE, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER
SECTION 2954.10 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE, AND
BORROWER AGREES THAT IF A PREPAYMENT OF ANY OR ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE
FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE BY LENDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY
TRANSFER OR DISPOSITION PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED HEREIN OR BY THE MORTGAGE,
BORROWER SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY THEREWITH THE SPREAD MAINTENANCE
PREMIUM APPLICABLE THERETO. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND
UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER HAS MADE THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IN RELIANCE ON THE
FOREGOING AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE
THIS LOAN WITHOUT SUCH AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, AND THAT THE MAKING
OF THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES
ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION, GIVEN WEIGHT BY THE UNDERSIGNED, FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND
WAIVER. Such Spread Maintenance Premium shall be required
whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by
the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender
at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a
knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully
understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as
well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the
Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan
Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Spread
Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan
on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such
provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this
Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the
Spread Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were
independently
104
negotiated
and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration
given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly
permitted hereunder.
Section
10.21 Assignment
. The
Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations
and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and
assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part,
whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in
interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to
Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to
such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in
interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may
not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or
under any of the Loan Documents except as specifically provided in Section 5.26.5 and
Section 5.26.6
of this Agreement. In connection with any assignment, the new Lender
shall provide notice to Borrower of the identity, address and other pertinent
information pertaining to the new Lender.
Section
10.22 Certain Additional Rights of
Lender
. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall
have:
(1) the
right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant
business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower,
provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous
substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no
less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special
meetings at any reasonable times;
(2) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and
records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;
(3) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive financial
reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity
and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding
indebtedness;
(4) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other rights of
Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing
to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the Debt
remains outstanding;
(5) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other right of
Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar
right), to restrict, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar
fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;
(6) the
right on the terms set forth herein, without restricting any other rights of
Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any
operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower;
105
(7) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any
other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to
day operation of the Property); and
(8) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower
held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such
member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.
The
rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person
that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender. The
provisions of this Section
10.22 are intended to satisfy the requirement of management rights
for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29 C.F.R.,
Section 2510.3-101.
Section
10.23 Set-Off
. In
addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement
and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any
such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of
Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such
set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.
Section
10.24 Counterparts
. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.
