AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE COMMITMENT
Section 2.1 Commitment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender agrees to make the Loan to Borrower on the Closing Date. The Loan shall bear interest at the rate provided in Section 2.4. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Borrower and the satisfaction of all conditions precedent pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed to constitute Borrower’s request to borrow the Loan on the Closing Date. Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.
(b) Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records evidencing the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender resulting from the advance of the Loan by Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable thereon and paid to Lender from time to time under this Agreement. The entries made in such record shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of Borrower therein recorded; provided that the failure or delay of Lender in maintaining or making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loan (both principal and unpaid accrued interest) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
19
36942122.8
(c) Borrower’s obligation to pay the principal of, and interest on, the Loan shall be evidenced by the Note. Lender has no intention of making advances under the Loan in excess of the aggregate face amount of the Note. Borrower acknowledges and agrees, however, that, if, for any reason, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time exceeds the face amount of the Note, the excess shall bear interest at the Default Rate, shall be payable, with accrued interest, ON DEMAND and shall be secured by all of the collateral described in the Security Instrument and all other Collateral for the Loan.
Section 2.2 Repayment of Loan.
(a) The Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan as set forth in Section 2.4.
(b) To the extent not previously paid, the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
Section 2.3 Prepayments.
(a) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay the Loan, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intention to prepay to Lender no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment (which notice may be retracted). Each such notice shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of the Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid. Such amount shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.4(a); provided that if all or any portion of the Loan is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.13. Each prepayment of the Loan shall be applied to principal installments in inverse order of maturity.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. On the earlier of (x) the date Lender elects to require prepayment of all or a portion of the Loan in accordance with Exhibit 5.5, Section 2 or 3 hereof and (y) the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards, if and to the extent Lender is not obligated hereunder to make such proceeds or awards available to Borrower for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such proceeds or awards. Such prepayment shall be applied, first, to interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan that would have accrued at the Applicable Interest Rate on the amount prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, and then to all other amounts then due to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and then to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
Section 2.4 Interest on Loan.
(a) Subject to Section 2.7 and Section 2.8 below, Borrower shall pay interest on the Loan at the LIBOR Index Rate in effect for the applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time (the “Applicable Interest Rate”).
20
36942122.8
(b) While an Event of Default exists or after acceleration, at the option of Lender, Borrower shall pay interest (“Default Interest”) on the Loan at the Default Rate.
(c) In the event that any payment due under the terms hereunder is not received by Lender within ten (10) days of the date such payment is due (inclusive of the date when due), Borrower shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of such payment provided such late charge shall not apply to the amount of the loan due at maturity whether by acceleration or otherwise. Such fee shall be payable on the earlier of (i) the date of demand by Lender and (ii) the date that Borrower makes the late payment.
(d) Interest on the principal amount of the Loan shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of any repayment thereof. Interest shall be payable in arrears on the fifth day of each calendar month (each a “Payment Date”), commencing on October 5, 2016, and on the Maturity Date. All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.
(e) Lender shall determine the interest rate applicable to the Loan hereunder and shall promptly notify Borrower of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
Section 2.5 Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender for its own account a loan fee equal to .65% of the Loan ($188,500.00), which fee shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Closing Date. All fees shall be fully earned on the Closing Date and shall not be subject to refund or rebate under any circumstances.
Section 2.6 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days elapsed). Each determination by Lender of an interest amount or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
Section 2.7 Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If at any time, Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Index Rate, or (ii) the LIBOR Index Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to Lender of making, funding or maintaining the Loan, Lender shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter. Until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, the Loan shall be converted to a Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate.
Section 2.8 Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender to make, maintain or fund the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate, Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower, whereupon until Lender notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of Lender to fund or maintain the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate shall be suspended, and the Loan shall be converted to a Loan bearing interest at the Base Rate, either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period if Lender may lawfully continue to maintain the Loan at the
21
36942122.8
Applicable Interest Rate to such date, or (ii) immediately if Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain the Loan at the Applicable Interest Rate to such date.
Section 2.9 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Index Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the LIBOR Index Rate); or
(ii) impose on Lender or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loan;
and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining the Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by Lender, within five Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital (or on the capital of Lender’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies or the policies of Lender’s parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy), then, from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Borrower of written demand by Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate Lender or its parent corporation, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender such amount or amounts within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation.
Section 2.10 Payments Generally.
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees, or of amounts payable under Sections 2.9 , 2.11 or 2.13, or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to Lender at its Payment Office. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars.
22
36942122.8
Section 2.11 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Loan Party (or its withholding agent), then the Loan Party (or its withholding agent) shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Without duplication of any payment made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(c) Indemnification by Borrower. Without duplication of any payment made pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, Borrower or other Loan Party shall deliver to Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
(e) Status of Lender.
(i) If Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(e) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
23
36942122.8
(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes the Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes the Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN OR W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN OR W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN OR W-8BEN-E; or
(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the Beneficial Owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN OR W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, and/or other certification documents from each Beneficial Owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
24
36942122.8
(D) if a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii) Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.11 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of the Commitment and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 2.12 Hedging Transactions. Borrower may enter into a Hedging Transaction in connection with the Loan. In the event that Lender or an Affiliate of Lender provides a Hedging Transaction to Borrower, (i) the incremental exposure to Lender or such Affiliate shall be secured by the Collateral on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the Loan and (ii) in connection with any prepayment of the Loan, Borrower shall terminate, at Borrower’s cost, the required portion of the Hedging Obligations. In the event that Borrower enters into any Hedging Transaction, Borrower shall cause a Collateral Assignment of Hedge to be duly executed by the applicable parties thereto within ten (10) days of execution of a Hedging Transaction.
25
36942122.8
Nothing herein constitutes an offer or recommendation to enter into any “swap” or trading strategy involving a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act. Any such offer or recommendation, if any, will only occur after Lender has received appropriate documentation from Borrower regarding whether Borrower is qualified to enter into a swap under Applicable Law.
Section 2.13 Funding Indemnity. In the event of any (a) payment of any principal of any portion of the Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (b) the failure by Borrower to borrow or prepay any portion of the Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked) then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such portion of the Loan if such event had not occurred at the LIBOR Index Rate applicable to the Loan for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such portion of the Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such portion of the Loan for the same period if the LIBOR Index Rate were set on the date such portion of the Loan was prepaid or the date on which Borrower failed to borrow such portion of the Loan. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.13 submitted to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
Section 2.14 Mitigation of Obligations. If Lender requests compensation under Section 2.9, or if Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its portion of the Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.9 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such designation or assignment.

(a) No failure or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing between Borrower and Lender, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder or thereunder. The rights and remedies of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by subsection (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of any advance under the Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event of Default, regardless of whether Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the time.
(b) No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in an event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Borrower and Lender and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through Syndtrak, Intralinks or any other Internet or intranet website, except as a result of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable judgment. This Section 9.4(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.
(c) Without duplication of any payment made to any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower shall pay, and hold Lender harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary, and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan Documents, any Collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and save Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes. .
(d) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated therein, the Loan or the use of proceeds thereof.

(x) Environmental liability coverage with a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000.00.
(xi) Upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender may from time to time reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against by institutional lenders for properties similar to the Property located in or around the same region as the Property if the cost of such coverage is commercially reasonable.
Borrower acknowledges that whether the cost of any insurance coverage requested or required under the foregoing subsections (v) and (xi) is “commercially reasonable” shall be reasonably determined by Lender from time to time and that such determination shall take into account the cost of such coverage(s) then typically required by institutional mortgage lenders with respect to properties similar to the Property located in the same geographical area as the Property. In no event shall Lender be liable for any loss, damage or injury resulting from the inadequacy or lack of any insurance coverage.
(b) Form and Quality. All insurance required hereunder shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state or commonwealth where the Property is located and must have an A.M. Best policy holder rating of “A-” or better (or an equivalent rating approved in writing by Lender). To the extent such Policies are not available as of the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Xxxxx 28 (property) and Xxxxx 25 (liability) or similar certificates of insurance evidencing the coverages and amounts required hereunder. Not less than five (5) days prior to the expiration date of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Xxxxx 28 (property) and Xxxxx 25 (liability) or similar certificates of insurance, evidencing renewal of coverage as required herein. Prior to the expiration date of any insurance coverage in place with respect to the Property, Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due in connection with the renewal of coverage (the “Insurance Premiums”), and, as soon as available thereafter, copies of all renewal Policies or other evidence of the coverages of such Policies otherwise satisfactory to Lender. The certificates of insurance must include all limits, sub-limits and deductibles and must list the Certificate Holder as provided by Lender. Lender shall not be deemed by reason of the custody of any insurance policies, certificates or binders or copies thereof to have knowledge of the contents thereof. Lender reserves the right to request certified copies of the insurance policies required in this Article.
(c) Endorsement. All insurance policies shall be endorsed in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender to name Lender as an additional insured, lender loss payee, or mortgagee hereunder, and its successors and/or assigns, as their interests may appear, with loss payable to Lender, without contribution, under a standard New York (or local equivalent) mortgagee clause. With respect to all insurance, no Person other than Lender shall be named as mortgagee or loss payee.
(d) Other Requirements. All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) No act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
Exhibit

36942122.8
(ii) The Policies shall not be canceled by the insurer without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, except only ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Lender for non-payment of premium shall be required;
(iii) The insurance shall not be invalidated should Borrower/Named Insured waive, in writing, prior to loss, any or all rights of recovery against a party for loss occurring to the Property (waiver of subrogation).
(e) Blanket Insurance. Borrower may affect the insurance coverage herein required under its blanket insurance policies; provided that:
(i) Any such policy or policies of blanket insurance either shall specify therein, or Borrower shall furnish Lender with written statement from the insurer (or from Borrower’s insurance broker) under such policy or policies specifying: (1) the maximum amount of the total insurance afforded by the blanket policy allocated to the Property, and (2) any sublimits in such blanket policy or policies applicable to the Property, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this Exhibit 5.5;
(ii) Any policy of blanket insurance hereunder shall comply in all respects with the other provisions of this Exhibit 5.5; and
(iii) The protection afforded Borrower under any policy of blanket insurance hereunder shall be no less than that which would have been afforded under a separate policy or policies relating only to the Property.
(f) Adjustments. Borrower shall give immediate written notice of any loss in respect of the Property to Lender and to the insurance carrier commensurate with the requirements of the policies so as not to prejudice recovery of any loss. With respect to any loss exceeding $1,000,000.00, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers Lender, as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, coupled with an interest, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds. Nothing contained in this Section 1(f) however, shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder. Any proceeds of insurance policies coming into the possession of Lender shall not be deemed trust funds, and Lender shall be entitled to apply such proceeds as herein provided.
(g) Additional Information. Borrower shall supply such information as Lender deems necessary to determine the adequacy of the insurance procured by Borrower on the Property. This information may include but is not limited to (i) a statement of values including replacement costs and estimated annual rents for all properties insured under the insurance policies, (ii) probable maximum loss (PML) studies, (iii) property condition reports and (iv) catastrophic modeling.
(h) Lender’s Right to Procure Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), with written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, obtaining such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall accrue Default Interest.

2. Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds. Lender shall apply insurance proceeds to costs of restoring the Property or the Loan as follows:
(a) if the loss is less than or equal to $1,000,000.00, Lender shall upon receipt thereof release the insurance proceeds to Borrower for restoration of the Property; provided, that: (i) no Default or Event of Default exists; and (ii) Borrower promptly commences and is diligently pursuing restoration of the Property;
(b) if the loss exceeds $1,000,000.00 but is not more than $10,000,000.00, or if Borrower is obligated to repair and restore the Property under the Amazon Lease, Lender shall apply the insurance proceeds to restoration; provided, that at all times during such restoration: (i) no Event of Default or Default exists; (ii) Lender reasonably determines that there are sufficient funds available to restore and repair the Property to a condition reasonably approved by Lender; (iii) Lender reasonably determines that the aggregate of the Net Operating Income of the Property during restoration and the business interruption insurance proceeds to be received during restoration will be sufficient to pay debt service on the Loan; (iv) Lender reasonably determines (based on Approved Leases which will remain in effect after restoration is complete and the like) that after restoration and the extended period of indemnity during which business interruption insurance proceeds continue to be received, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio will be at least equal to the lesser of Minimum DSCR Requirement or the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to such casualty; (v) Lender reasonably determines that restoration and repair of the Property to a condition approved reasonably by Lender will be completed within eighteen (18) months after the date of loss or casualty and in any event ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date; and (vi) Borrower promptly commences and diligently pursues restoration of the Property;
(c) if the conditions set forth above are not satisfied, Lender may apply any insurance proceeds it may receive to the payment of the Loan or allow all or a portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the Property, in Lender’s sole discretion;
(d) with respect to a loss in excess of $1,000,000.00 for which Lender is required or elects, as applicable, to make insurance proceeds available to Borrower for restoration, insurance proceeds applied to restoration will be disbursed on receipt of satisfactory plans and specifications, contracts and subcontracts, schedules, budgets, lien waivers and architects’ certificates, and otherwise in accordance with prudent commercial construction lending practices for construction loan advances; and
(e) the net proceeds of rent loss and/or business interruption insurance shall be paid to Lender upon the occurrence of an Event of Default; otherwise, to Borrower to be used in accordance with the provisions hereof.
3. Condemnation Awards. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking of the Property or any portion thereof. Lender may participate in any such proceeding and Borrower will deliver to Lender all instruments necessary or required by Lender to permit such participation. Without Lender’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld with respect to an Immaterial Condemnation (as defined below), Borrower (1) shall not agree to any compensation or award, and (2) shall not take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to be determined. All awards and compensation for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of the Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower authorizes Lender to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and in Lender’s sole discretion, to apply the same toward the payment of the Loan, notwithstanding that the Loan may not then be due and payable, or to the restoration of the Property; provided, however, that if (A) the

award is less than or equal to $1,000,000.00 and Borrower requests that such proceeds be used for non-structural site improvements (such as landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) required to be made as a result of such condemnation, (B) such condemnation does not adversely affect the Property or access thereto, as reasonably determined by Lender, or (C) Borrower is obligated to repair and restore the Property under the Amazon Lease (the foregoing set forth in clauses (A), (B), and/or (C), an “Immaterial Condemnation”), Lender will apply the award to such restoration in accordance with the disbursement procedures applicable to insurance proceeds as set forth therein, provided, that there exists no Default or Event of Default. Borrower, upon request by Lender, shall execute all instruments requested to confirm the assignment of the awards and compensation to Lender, free and clear of all liens, charges or encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. It is expressly understood and agreed that any proceeds received by Lender pursuant to this Section 3 shall in no way be construed as being held in trust for the benefit of Borrower.
