ARTICLE I
LOAN PROVISIONS
Section 1.1 Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents, Lender agrees to make the Loan to Borrower, which is evidenced by the Note and secured by, among other things, the Pledge Agreement. The Loan shall be advanced on the date hereof. Any amounts borrowed hereunder may not be re-borrowed.
Section 1.2 Term of Loan. On the Maturity Date (as the same may be accelerated pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents or otherwise), the entire Debt, including all amounts outstanding under the Note, all accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts due and payable to Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall become due and payable in full.
Section 1.3 Interest/Prepayment. Interest due on the Loan shall accrue and become payable as set forth in the Note. The Debt may be prepaid only in strict accordance with the express terms and conditions of Section 6.1 hereof.
Section 1.4 Obligations. The grants, pledges, assignments, encumbrances, and transfers made under the Loan Documents are given for the purpose of securing (i) the payment of the Debt and (ii) the performance of all other agreements, covenants, conditions, and obligations of Borrower and Pledgor (as hereinafter defined) contained in the Loan Documents (collectively, items (i) and (ii) are “Obligations”).
Section 1.5 Payments. All Property Revenues of any kind with respect to the Property, which are received by Property Owner or Borrower, shall be applied by Property Owner and Borrower in the following order of priority: (i) to pay amounts due and payable to the First Lender under the First Loan documents (including the funding of any reserve accounts required thereunder); (ii) to pay operating expenses incurred by Property Owner in the ordinary course of operating the Property and capital expenses approved by Lender; (iii) to pay required payments of interest, principal and other sums due and payable under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) to Borrower.

Section 1.6 Receipt of Payments.

-3-
shareholder, general partner or member of Borrower or Property Owner, or the business, operations, properties or assets of Borrower or Property Owner or any shareholder, general partner or member of Borrower or Property Owner, or before or by any Governmental Authority, which may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, properties or assets or in the condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower or Property Owner or any general partner or member of Borrower or Property Owner, or in the ability of Borrower or Property Owner to pay or otherwise perform the Obligations.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither Borrower, Property Owner, nor any subsidiary or affiliate of Borrower or Property Owner nor any member, partner or shareholder or other beneficial owner of Borrower or Property Owner or of any such subsidiary, affiliate, member, partner, shareholder or other beneficial owner (provided that the foregoing representation is limited to the best of Borrower’s knowledge with respect to the shareholders of KBS Real Estate Investment Trust II, Inc.)

Lender will not transfer any funds to and will not accept any amounts from Borrower if Borrower cannot make the foregoing representations and warranties or if Lender has a reasonable basis for belief that such representations and warranties are not true. Borrower agrees promptly to notify Lender should Borrower become aware of any change in the information set forth in these representations and warranties.
-5-
Section 3.7 Federal Reserve Board Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under such circumstances as to involve Borrower in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). Margin stock does not constitute any of the value of the consolidated assets of Borrower and its subsidiaries, if any, and Borrower does not have any present intention that margin stock will constitute any of the value of such assets. As used in this Section, the terms “margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in said Regulation U.
Section 3.8 Investment Company Act and Public Utility Holding Company Act.

Property Owner may, however, effect for its own account any insurance not required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, but any such insurance effected by Property Owner on the Property, whether or not required pursuant to this Section 4.4, shall be for the mutual benefit of Property Owner and Lender, as their respective interests may appear, and shall be subject to all other provisions of this Section 4.4.
(h) All insurance provided for in this Section 4.4 shall be effected under valid and enforceable policies issued by financially responsible insurers satisfactory to Lender, rated by A.M. Best as “A” or better and as having a class size of at least “X(10)” and authorized to do business in the State, with deductibles acceptable to Lender and otherwise in form and substance acceptable to Lender. An original of all certificates evidencing such policies with Accord 28 (2003/10 version) and Accord 25 shall be deposited with and held by Lender and shall contain the standard non-contributory Lender clause in favor of Lender and a waiver of subrogation endorsement, all in form and content satisfactory to Lender. All such policies shall contain a provision that such policies will not be cancelled or materially amended (including any reduction
-8-
in the scope or limits of coverage), without at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lender. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the expiring policies theretofore furnished pursuant to this Section 4.4, originals of all certificates evidencing such policies with Accord 28 (2003/10 version) and Accord 25 bearing notations evidencing the full payment of the annual premium or accompanied by other evidence satisfactory to Lender of such payment shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(i) If Borrower fails to furnish to Lender and keep in force the original policies of insurance required by this Section 4.4, Lender, at its option, may procure such insurance, which procurement, at Lender’s further option, may be by the purchase of insurance policies or by the addition of the Property to Lender’s blanket policy. In the event that Lender has exercised either of such options, promptly upon demand by Lender, Borrower (i) will reimburse Lender for all premiums on the policies purchased by Lender or (ii) in the event Lender has added the Property to its blanket policy, will pay to Lender an amount equal to the estimated cost of the insurance coverage which Lender has added to its blanket policy had such coverage been obtained under a separate policy and not under a blanket policy, in either case, with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date Lender pays such premiums to the date Borrower repays such premiums to Lender in full. Until they are so repaid, this Agreement shall secure the amount of such premiums and interest.
(j) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall cause Property Owner to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (“Restoration”). Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Property Owner or Borrower.
(k) In the event of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement, or other transfer of title to the Pledged Interests and/or the other Collateral in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Property Owner in and to such Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of ownership interest or title.
(l) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.4, (i) the rights of Lender hereunder are subordinate to the rights of First Lender under the First Security Instrument and with respect to any insurance proceeds payable in connection with the Property and (ii) for so long as the Property Owner is in compliance with the terms and conditions of the First Security Instrument with respect to insurance coverages, in the event of any differences or inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Section 4.4 and the terms and conditions of the First Security Instrument, the terms of the First Security Instrument with respect to insurance coverages will control and be binding on Borrower, Property Owner and Lender, and the Property Owner shall only be obligated to maintain such insurance policies as required by of the First Security Instrument.

Section 4.5 Payment of Taxes, etc. Borrower shall, or shall cause the Property Owner to, promptly pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the respective Property or any part thereof (“Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the respective Property or any part thereof (“Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property as same become due and payable. Borrower will, or will cause Property Owner to, deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause Property Owner to pay and discharge any lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a lien or charge against the Property. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, furnish to Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to contest the validity, applicability or amount, in whole or in part, of Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges pursuant to the terms of the First Security Instrument. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if, and for so long as, Borrower is not in default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall have the right to contest the amount or the validity, in whole or in part, of any Taxes and Other Charges (as hereinafter defined), by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith and without cost or expense to Lender. Provided Borrower is in compliance with the provisions of the next sentence, Borrower may postpone or defer payment of such Taxes and Other Charges if Borrower, on or before the due date thereof, shall (1) deposit or cause to be deposited with Lender a surety bond issued by a surety company of recognized responsibility acceptable to Lender, guaranteeing and securing the payment in full of such Taxes and/or Other Charges, as applicable, pending the determination of such contest, (2) deposit or cause to be deposited with Lender an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of such Taxes and Other Charges, as applicable, or any balance thereof remaining unpaid, and from time to time, but not more frequently than quarterly, deposit amounts in order to keep on deposit at all such times an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the Taxes and Other Charges, as applicable, remaining unpaid, or (3) furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender other security reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If such deposit is made or such security furnished and Borrower continues in good faith to contest the validity of such Taxes and Other Charges by appropriate legal proceedings which shall operate to prevent the collection of such Taxes and Other Charges so contested, the imposition of interest, fines or other penalties with respect to such Taxes and Other Charges and the sale of the Collateral or any part thereof to satisfy such Taxes and Other Charges, Borrower shall have no obligation to pay such Taxes and Other Charges until such time as it has been finally determined to be a valid, due and payable Taxes and Other Charges. Upon termination of any such proceeding, or at any earlier time that Borrower shall have been adjudicated liable for the payment of such Taxes and Other Charges, Borrower shall pay in full the amount of any such Taxes and Other Charges or part thereof as shall have been finally determined in such proceeding, together with all liabilities in connection therewith. Lender shall have the full power and authority to apply or require the application of any amounts that may have been deposited pursuant to this Section 4.5 to payment of any unpaid Taxes and Other Charges. However, Lender shall not have any liability for
-10-
application of, or failure to apply, any amount so deposited, except for Lender’s intentional and willful failure to apply a deposited amount after Borrower shall have notified Lender of such final decision and Borrower or the Person making such deposit shall have requested in writing the application of such amount to the payment of the particular Taxes and Other Charges with respect to which it was deposited. Lender shall repay to Borrower, or as directed by Borrower, the remainder of any such deposit after payment in full of the related Taxes and Other Charges, unless Borrower shall be in default pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. If a default then exists, Lender may, in its discretion, apply all or any part of such remainder to the curing of such default. After the curing of all such defaults (and the payment in full of all then due and payable Taxes and Other Charges), Lender shall pay the remainder of such surplus, if any, to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that Borrower has deposited any sums required under Section 1.02(H) of the First Security Instrument with First Lender, Borrower shall not be obligated to deposit any sums required under this Section 4.5 with Lender.
Section 4.6 Escrow Fund. Subject to the right of the First Lender to collect an escrow fund under the First Loan Documents, in addition to the initial deposits with respect to Taxes and insurance premiums made by Property Owner to Lender on the date hereof to be held by Lender in escrow, provided First Lender has not elected to establish such an escrow fund, or the First Loan is no longer outstanding, Borrower shall cause Property Owner pay to Lender, on the tenth (10) day of each calendar month (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) if the Property is not insured under a blanket policy, one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in Clauses (a) and (b) above shall be called “Escrow Fund”). Borrower agrees to, or shall cause Property Owner to, notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and insurance premiums of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes, and shall cause Property Owner to authorize, Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and (if escrow payments are made for such purposes) Insurance Premiums required to be made by Property Owner or Borrower pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 4.5 hereof. Any interest earned on the Escrow Fund shall become a part of the Escrow Fund. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and insurance premiums pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 4.5 hereof, Lender shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Property Owner or Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If Lender believes that the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in Clauses (a) and (b) of this Section, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency and Lender may immediately readjust the amount of the monthly deposits to the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Property Owner or Borrower.
-11-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to cause Property Owner to make deposits for Taxes and insurance premiums into the Escrow Fund as set forth above, provided that (i) Property Owner makes such deposits for Taxes and insurance premiums into an Escrow Fund established pursuant to the First Loan Documents and held by First Lender for the payment of Taxes and insurance premiums and (ii) upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver evidence of the timely payment of the Taxes and insurance premiums to Lender within three (3) Business Days of request therefor by Lender. Upon the failure of Borrower to comply with the provisions of the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall be subject to and shall immediately comply with each and every provision of the first paragraph of this Section 4.6.
Section 4.7 Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give, or cause Property Owner to promptly give, Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served and/or received in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall cause Property Owner, at Property Owner’s expense, to diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Subject to the rights of the First Lender, if the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall cause Property Owner to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.7, (i) the rights of Lender hereunder are subordinate to the rights of First Lender under the First Security Instrument and (ii) for so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the First Loan is outstanding, in the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Section 4.7 and the terms and conditions the First Security Instrument, the terms of the First Security Instrument will control and be binding on Borrower, Property Owner and Lender.
Section 4.8 Leases and Rents.
(a) Performance of Lessor’s Covenants. Property Owner, as lessor, has entered and will enter into leases or licenses with tenants, as tenants or licensees, respectively, for parts or all of the Property. Borrower shall cause Property Owner to faithfully perform the lessor’s covenants under the Leases. Borrower shall cause Property Owner to not do, nor neglect
-12-
to do, nor permit to be done (other than enforcing the terms of such Leases and exercising the lessor’s remedies thereunder following a default or event of default on the part of any tenant in the performance of its obligations pursuant to the Lease), anything which may cause the modification or termination of any of the Leases, or of the obligations of any tenant or any other person claiming through such tenant, or which may diminish or impair the value of any Lease or the rents provided for therein, or the interest of the lessor or of Lender therein or thereunder.
(b) Notice of Default. Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, give Lender immediate notice of any notice of a material default or of any Event of Default, extension, renewal, expansion, surrender or cancellation given to or received from any tenant or from any other Person with respect to any Lease and shall furnish Lender with a copy of each such notice.
(c) Covenants Regarding Leases. Borrower shall cause Property Owner to not, without the prior written consent of Lender obtained in each instance:
(i) lease to any Person, all or any part of the space in, on or over any of the Premises;
(ii) cancel, terminate or accept a surrender or suffer or permit any cancellation, termination or surrender of any Lease or any guaranty of any Lease;
(iii) modify any Lease so as to (i) reduce the term thereof or the Rents payable thereunder, (ii) change any renewal provision contained therein, (iii) otherwise increase any obligation of Property Owner thereunder, or (iv) reduce any obligation of tenant thereunder;
(iv) commence any summary proceeding or other action to recover possession of any space demised pursuant to any Lease, other than a proceeding brought in good faith by reason of a default of any tenant;
(v) receive or collect, or permit the receipt or collection of, any Rents for more than one month in advance of the payment due dates;
(vi) extend any present Lease other than in accordance with the terms presently provided for therein;
(vii) suffer or permit to occur any release of liability of any tenant or the accrual of any right in any tenant to withhold payment of any Rent;

(ix) alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of any Lease or consent to the release of any party thereto; or
-13-
(x) request, consent, agree to, or accept, the subordination of any Lease to any mortgage (other than the First Security Instrument) or other encumbrance now or hereafter affecting the Premises.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Lender’s approval is required under this Section 4.8, such approval shall be deemed given if First Lender approves of (or is deemed to have approved of) the same
Section 4.9 Maintenance of Property.

(b) Standard of Repairs. The necessity for and adequacy of repairs to the Property pursuant to Section 4.9(a) shall be measured by the standard which is appropriate for a first class office building and related facilities of similar construction and type located in the suburban northern New Jersey area. Further, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, make all repairs necessary to avoid any structural damage to the Improvements and to keep the Property in a proper condition for its intended use.

Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, promptly replace all equipment so disposed of or removed with other equipment of a value and serviceability equal to or greater than the original value and serviceability of the equipment so removed or disposed of, free of all liens, claims or other encumbrances. If by reason of technological or other developments in the operation and maintenance of buildings of the general character of the Improvements, no replacement of the building equipment so removed or disposed of is necessary or desirable in the proper operation or maintenance of the Improvements, Borrower shall not be required to replace same. The security interest of this Agreement shall cover all such replacement equipment.

However, Lender’s prior consent shall not be necessary in the event that the presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, under or about the Property either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain Lender’s consent before taking such action. In such event, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, notify Lender as soon as practical of any action so taken. Lender shall not withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either (a) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (b) Borrower establishes to the satisfaction of Lender that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment to the Property.
(c) Lender, if it so elects, shall have the right to join and participate as a party in any legal proceedings or actions initiated by any Person in connection with any Environmental Claim and, in such case, Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith; provided that such Environmental Claim did not accrue prior to the date hereof and provided further that Lender did not have actual (as opposed to implied or constructive) knowledge of such Environmental Claim.

If any part of the automobile parking areas included within the Property is taken by condemnation or such areas are otherwise reduced, Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, provide parking facilities in kind, size and location as required to comply with all Leases and with the parking requirements set forth herein. Any lease or other contract for such facilities must be assignable and must be otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

(a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property, the Pledged Interests, or the other Collateral for the purpose of taxation or which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest therein or in the Property, the Pledged Interests, or the Collateral, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable.

ARTICLE VIII
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES
Section 8.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Borrower agrees that Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the following actions, each of which may be pursued concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, in its sole discretion, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender:
(a) declare the entire unpaid Debt to be immediately due and payable;
(b) exercise any and all rights set forth in the Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation, instituting proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement under any applicable provision of law, in which case the Pledged Interests and/or the other Collateral or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner;
(c) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by applicable law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement for the portion of the Debt then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of the Pledge Agreement for the balance of the Debt not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority;
(d) sell for cash or upon credit, the Pledged Interests and/or the other Collateral or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of any Pledgor therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more

(h) exercise any and all rights and remedies granted to a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (i) the right to take possession of the property secured thereby or any part thereof (including but not limited to, the Pledged Interests) and to take such other measures as Lender may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of such property and (ii) request Borrower at its expense to assemble such property and make it available to Lender at a convenient place acceptable to Lender, provided that any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Lender with respect to such property sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action shall constitute commercially reasonable notice to Borrower;
(i) apply any sums then deposited in the Escrow Fund and any other sums held in escrow or otherwise by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the payment of the following items in any order in Lender’s uncontrolled discretion:
(1) | Taxes and Other Charges; |
(2) | insurance premiums; |
(3) | Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Note; |
(4) | Amortization of the unpaid principal balance of the Note; and |
(5) | All other sums payable pursuant to the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any advances made by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, advances made pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof; |
(j) subject to the rights of the First Lender, surrender the insurance policies maintained pursuant to Article IV hereof, collect the unearned insurance premiums and apply such sums as a credit on the Debt in such priority and proportion as Lender in its discretion shall
-27-
deem proper, and in connection therewith, effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact (which is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable) for Borrower to collect such insurance premiums; or
(k) pursue such other remedies as Lender may have under applicable law or may be available under any of the Loan Documents.
In the event of a sale, by foreclosure, power of sale, or otherwise, of less than all of the Pledged Interests and/or other Collateral, the Pledge Agreement shall continue as a lien and security interest on the remaining portion of the Pledged Interests and/or other Collateral unimpaired and without loss of priority. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section to the contrary, if any Event of Default as described in Section 7.1(d) shall occur, the entire unpaid Debt shall be automatically due and payable, without any further notice, demand or other action by Lender.
Section 8.2 Application of Proceeds. The purchase money proceeds and avails of any disposition of the Pledged Interests, the other Collateral, or any part thereof, or any other sums collected by Lender pursuant to the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any other Loan Document, may be applied by Lender to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.
Section 8.3 Default under First Loan Documents. (a) Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, give Lender immediate notice of default and furnish copies and notices of all defaults and Events of Default thereunder and all other notices or communications received by Property Owner or Borrower pursuant to the First Loan Documents or in connection with the First Loan. Upon the occurrence of any default or event of default (or event or condition which, with notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default or event of default) under any of the First Loan Documents, Borrower shall deliver to Lender within one (1) Business Day after the first to occur of (i) receipt by Property Owner or Borrower of notice of such default from First Lender or (ii) the date Property Owner or Borrower obtains actual knowledge of the occurrence of such default, a detailed description of the actions to be taken by Property Owner or Borrower to cure such default and the dates by which each such action shall occur. Such schedule shall be subject to the approval of Lender. Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, take all such actions as are necessary to cure such default under the First Loan Documents by the date approved by Lender, and shall deliver to Lender not less frequently than weekly thereafter written updates concerning the status of the Property and Property Owner’s and/or Borrower’s efforts to cure such default. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay any sums or to take any action which Lender deems necessary or advisable to cure any default or alleged default under the First Loan Documents (whether or not Property Owner or Borrower is undertaking efforts to cure such default or the same is an event of default under any of the First Loan Documents or a default or Event of Default hereunder), and such payment or such action is hereby authorized by Borrower and Property Owner, and any sum so paid and any expense incurred by Lender in taking any such action shall be evidenced by this Agreement and secured by the Other Security Documents and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower to Lender with interest at the Default Rate until paid. Lender shall be authorized to take such actions upon the assertion by First Lender of the existence of such default or event of default after inquiry. The consent or waiver by First Lender of any default or event
-28-
of default under the First Loan Documents shall not annul the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder unless otherwise approved by Lender. Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, permit Lender to enter upon the Property for the purpose of curing any default or alleged default under the First Loan Documents or hereunder. Borrower shall, or shall cause Property Owner to, transfer and assign to Lender any excess proceeds arising from any foreclosure or sale under power pursuant to the First Security Instrument or any instrument evidencing the indebtedness secured thereby, and Borrower, in its capacity as the sole member of Property Owner, hereby authorizes and directs the holder or holders of the First Security Instrument to pay such excess proceeds directly to Lender up to the amount of the Debt. Nothing herein shall serve to limit or restrict Lender’s rights with respect to any agreement entered into between Lender and First Lender.
(b) Effective upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, or an “Event of Default” under the First Loan Documents, Borrower for itself, in its capacity as the sole member of Property Owner, hereby expressly and irrevocably authorizes Lender and Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest to do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, and assurances in the name of Property Owner and/or Borrower or without the signature of Property Owner and/or Borrower, to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, in order to cure any and all defaults under the First Loan Documents.
Section 8.4 Right to Cure Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (and after the expiration of any applicable grace or cure periods) or if Borrower fails to make any payment or to do any act as herein provided, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make or do the same in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property or to foreclose this Agreement, the Pledged Interests or the other Collateral or collect the Debt, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any such action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after notice from Lender that such cost or expense was incurred to the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 8.5 Actions and Proceedings. Subject to the rights of the First Lender, Lender has the right to appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property, the Pledged Interests, or the other Collateral and to bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Property Owner, Borrower, or any Pledgor, which Lender, in its discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property, Pledged Interests or the other Collateral.
-29-
Section 8.6 Recovery of Sums Required To Be Paid. Lender shall have the right from time to time to take action to recover any sum or sums which constitute a part of the Debt as the same become due, without regard to whether or not the balance of the Debt shall be due, and without prejudice to the right of Lender thereafter to bring an action of foreclosure, or any other action, for a default or defaults by Borrower existing at the time such earlier action was commenced.
Section 8.7 Other Rights, etc. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Agreement. Borrower shall not be relieved of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Lender to comply with any request of Property Owner, Borrower, any Pledgor to take any action to foreclose this Agreement, any pledged interests or other Collateral or to otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Note or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Collateral, or of any person liable for the Debt or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Lender extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Note, this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents.
(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Property Owner and Borrower, and Lender shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in value of the Property, the Pledged Interests or the other Collateral including, without limitation, for failure to maintain the Policies, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Lender shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief, if any such possession is requested or obtained, with respect to the Property or on the Collateral not in Lender’s actual possession.
(c) Lender may resort for the payment of the Debt to any other security held by Lender in such order and manner as Lender, in its discretion, may elect. The rights of Lender under this Agreement shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Lender shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Lender shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.
Section 8.8 Right to Release Any Portion of the Property. Lender may release any portion of the Pledged Interests or the other Collateral for such consideration as Lender may require without, as to the remainder of the Pledged Interests or the other Collateral in any way impairing or affecting the lien or priority of the Pledge Agreement or this Agreement, or improving the position of any subordinate lienholder with respect thereto, except to the extent that the obligations hereunder shall have been reduced by the actual monetary consideration, if any, received by Lender for such release, and may accept by assignment, pledge or otherwise any other property in place thereof as Lender may require without being accountable for so doing to any other lienholder. The Pledge Agreement shall continue as a lien and security interest in the remaining portion of the Pledged Interests and the other Collateral.
Section 8.9 Intentionally Deleted.
