ARTICLE II - GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loan has been fully funded as of the Closing Date.
2.1.3 The Note, Security Instrument and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property or repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all past due basic carrying costs, if any, with respect to the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.
Section 2.2 Interest Rate.
2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Interest Rate or as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or in the Note from (and including) the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date.
2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. Borrower acknowledges that the calculation method for interest described herein results in a higher effective interest rate than the numeric Interest Rate and Borrower hereby agrees to this calculation method.
34 |
2.2.3 Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (including the failure of Borrower to make full payment on the Maturity Date), Lender shall be entitled to receive and Borrower shall pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at the Default Rate. Interest shall accrue and be payable at the Default Rate from the occurrence of an Event of Default until all Events of Default have been waived in writing by Lender in its discretion. Such accrued interest shall be added to the Outstanding Principal Balance, and interest shall accrue thereon at the Default Rate until fully paid. Such accrued interest shall be secured by the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that Lender’s right to collect interest at the Default Rate is given for the purpose of compensating Lender at reasonable amounts for Lender’s added costs and expenses that occur as a result of Borrower’s default and that are difficult to predict in amount, such as increased general overhead, concentration of management resources on problem loans, and increased cost of funds. Lender and Borrower agree that Lender’s collection of interest at the Default Rate is not a fine or penalty, but is intended to be and shall be deemed to be reasonable compensation to Lender for increased costs and expenses that Lender will incur if there occurs an Event of Default hereunder. Collection of interest at the Default Rate shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the Maturity Date or to limit or impair any rights and remedies of Lender under any Loan Documents. If judgment is entered on the Note, interest shall continue to accrue post-judgment at the greater of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the applicable statutory judgment rate.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment. Payments of principal, interest, and Late Charges (as defined in the Note) shall be made as provided in the Note.
Section 2.4 Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9 of the Note, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.
Section 2.5 Intentionally Omitted.
35 |
Section 2.6 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6, no repayment, prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Security Instrument on the Property.
2.6.1 Release of Property. (a) If Borrower has the right to and has elected to prepay in full the Loan in accordance with this Agreement and the Note, upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 2.4 and Section 9 of the Note, as applicable, and this Section 2.6, each applicable Individual Property shall be released from the Lien of the applicable Security Instrument.
(b) In connection with the release of each applicable Security Instrument, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Prepayment Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for each Individual Property for execution by Lender. Each such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the applicable Individual Property is located and that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender and contains standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses Lender and Servicer incur arising from such release (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses) and Borrower shall pay, in connection with such release, (i) all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other reasonable expenses payable in connection therewith, and (ii) to any Servicer, a processing fee in an amount determined by Lender or Servicer in its reasonable discretion provided such processing fee shall be in an amount that is regularly and customarily charged by loan servicers with respect to the release of a Security Instrument.
(c) If, in connection with a payment in full of the Loan, Borrower advises Lender that it desires Lender to assign the Loan Documents to a Person designated by Borrower (the “Full Assignee Lender”), then Lender shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Borrower to assign and deliver originals of the Loan Documents to the Full Assignee Lender or as directed by Borrower, including (i) an allonge with respect to the Note, (ii) executed assignments of the recorded Loan Documents, and (iii) such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, termination, severance and release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements and terminations of rent direction notices to Tenants and other third parties), all in recordable form as may reasonably be requested by Borrower to evidence such assignment; provided, however, that such assignment shall be made without representation, warranty or covenant by Lender (other than that Lender is the lawful owner of the Loan Documents, and Lender has the power to assign the same and the outstanding principal balance thereof).
2.6.2 Partial Release. Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right at any time after June 1, 2020, and prior to the Maturity Date to obtain the release (the “Partial Release”) of any one or more of the Individual Properties (individually and collectively, as the context requires, the “Released Property”) from the lien of the applicable Security Instrument thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Released Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:
36 |
(a) Borrower shall provide Lender with thirty (30) days (or a shorter period of time if permitted by Lender in its sole discretion) prior written notice of the proposed Partial Release (the date of Lender’s receipt of such notice shall be referred to herein as a “Partial Release Notice Date”).
(b) Any and all sums due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents on each of the Partial Release Notice Date and the date of consummation of the Partial Release, shall be fully paid and no Event of Default (other than an Event of Default which applies only to the Released Property) shall be continuing as of the Partial Release Notice Date or the date of consummation of the Partial Release.
(c) Borrower shall have paid or reimbursed Lender for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in connection with the Partial Release (including without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, appraisal fees, recording costs and trustee’s fees).
(d) Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such Partial Release, a release of lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Released Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Released Property is located and shall contain standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation as may reasonably be required to satisfy the Prudent Lender Standard in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) The future uses of the Released Property may not violate any exclusivity or other provision in any Lease pertaining to any Individual Property not being released nor any covenant, restriction, condition or other title matter then encumbering the Property.
(f) Intentionally omitted.
(g) If required under the operative documents with respect to any Securitization, Lender shall have received evidence in writing from any applicable Rating Agency to the effect that the proposed Partial Release will not result in a qualification, reduction, downgrade or withdrawal of any rating initially assigned or to be assigned in such Securitization, or a waiver from any such rating agency stating that it has declined to review the Partial Release.
(h) The Partial Release shall be permitted under REMIC Requirements in effect as of the consummation of the Partial Release, and, if reasonably required by Lender to confirm the same, Borrower shall (i) deliver to Lender opinions of counsel satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard and acceptable the Rating Agencies (issued by counsel satisfying the Prudent Lender Standard and acceptable to the Rating Agencies) (1) stating that the Partial Release will not cause (A) the Loan to cease to be a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, either under the provisions of Treasury Regulation Sections 1.860G-2(a)(8) or 1.860G-2(b) (as such regulations may be amended or superseded from time to time) or under any other provision of the Code or otherwise, and (B) the failure of any REMIC Trust or any other entity that holds the Note to maintain its tax status and (2) with respect to such other matters as may be required by Lender and (ii) pay all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies in connection with the Partial Release, including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket costs counsel fees.
37 |
(i) As of the date of consummation of the Partial Release, after giving effect to the release of the lien of the Security Instrument(s) encumbering the Released Property, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio with respect to the remaining Individual Properties (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month period) shall be equal to or greater than the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and (ii) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to the consummation of the Partial Release.
(j) As of the date of consummation of the Partial Release, after giving effect to the release of the lien of the Security Instrument(s) encumbering the Released Property, the Debt Yield with respect to the remaining Individual Properties (based upon the trailing twelve (12) month period) shall be no less than the greater of (i) the Debt Yield as of the Closing Date or (ii) the Debt Yield immediately prior to the consummation of the Partial Release.
(k) Borrower shall (i) partially prepay the Debt in accordance with Section 9 of the Note in an amount equal to 115% (120% if the Released Property is being transferred to a Borrower Affiliate) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the Released Property (the “Release Amount”), (ii) unless such prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, pay to Lender an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid for the full Accrual Period had the prepayment not been made and (iii) pay to Lender the Prepayment Consideration (as defined in the Note) to the extent that such prepayment occurs at any time other than on or after the Permitted Par Prepayment Date. Any portion of the Release Amount applied to the principal amount of the Debt shall be applied first, to reduce the Allocated Loan Amount attributable to the Released Property to zero and second, pro rata to reduce the Allocated Loan Amounts of each of the other remaining Individual Properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Lender has applied the Net Proceeds from a Casualty or Condemnation of an Individual Property to the repayment of the Debt and a Partial Release of such Individual Property is thereafter completed, (1) the Release Amount for such Individual Property shall be reduced by the amount of such Net Proceeds so applied, and (2) no Prepayment Consideration or similar sum shall be due in connection therewith.
38 |
(l) If, in connection with a Partial Release, Borrower advises Lender that it desires Lender to assign the applicable Security Instrument and other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Assigned Loan Documents”) encumbering the Released Properties that are the subject of a Partial Release (collectively, the “Assigned Properties”) to a Person designated by Borrower (the “Partial Assignee Lender”), then Lender shall (a) cooperate in all reasonable respects with Borrower (i) to split and sever each Promissory Note constituting the Note into two Notes, with one such Note (each, a “Remaining Note”) continuing to evidence the portion of the Loan secured by the Individual Properties that are not Assigned Properties (collectively, the “Remaining Properties”), and the other such Note (each, an “Assigned Note") securing the portion of the Loan to be secured by the Assigned Properties, and (ii) to assign the Assigned Note and the Assigned Loan Documents to the Partial Assignee Lender, with assignments of the recorded Assigned Loan Documents in recordable form and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Partial Assignee Lender, (b) deliver to the Partial Assignee Lender or as directed by Borrower the originally executed Assigned Note, (c) execute and deliver to the Partial Assignee Lender or as directed by Borrower, (i) an allonge with respect to the Assigned Note, (ii) executed assignments of the recorded Assigned Loan Documents (and the original applicable Assigned Loan Documents or a certified copy of record to the assignee thereof), and (iii) such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, termination, severance and release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements and terminations of rent direction notices to Tenants and other third parties), all in recordable form as may reasonably be requested by Borrower to evidence such assignment; provided, however, that such assignment shall be made without representation, warranty or covenant by Lender (other than that Lender is the lawful owner of such Assigned Note and the Assigned Loan Documents, and Lender has the power to assign the same and the outstanding principal balance thereof). In connection with any assignment effected in accordance with this paragraph, Borrower shall deliver the following: (I) New York enforceability and entity authority opinion letters, reasonably required by Lender, (II) organizational documents of Borrower, Guarantor and any entities executing documents on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor, as reasonably required by Lender, and (III) such other documents and agreements as may be reasonable required by Lender.

(h) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender copies of all current service contracts with respect to the Substitute Property;
(i) Lender shall have received a Phase I environmental report, prepared by a company reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender in accordance with the Prudent Lender Standard, dated not more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the date of consummation of the Substitution and, if and to the extent recommended under the Phase I, a Phase II environmental report reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with the Prudent Lender Standard, which concludes that the Substitute Property does not contain any Hazardous Substances in violation of Environmental Law and is not subject to any significant risk of contamination in violation of Environmental Law from any off site Hazardous Substances;

The Security Instrument encumbering the Substitute Property shall secure all amounts then outstanding under the Note, provided that in the event that the jurisdiction in which the Substitute Property is located imposes a mortgage recording, intangibles or similar tax and does not permit the allocation of indebtedness for the purpose of determining the amount of such tax payable, the principal amount secured by such Security Instrument shall be equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for the Substitute Property. The percentage of the Loan allocated to the Substitute Property (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Substitute Allocated Loan Amount”) shall equal the Allocated Loan Amount of the Substitution Release Property;

Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.5 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6.3, the parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that after the Securitization of the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein), with respect to any Lender approval or similar discretionary rights over any matters contained in this Section 2.6.3, such rights shall be construed such that Lender shall only be permitted to withhold its consent or approval with respect to any such matters if the same fails to meet the Prudent Lender Standard.

4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property (or any portion thereof), or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property (or any portion thereof) is bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property (or any portion thereof) is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
48 |
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has a insurable leasehold estate in and to each Ground Lease Property, insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as may be expressly permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (or any portion thereof) as currently used or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Each Security Instrument, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any Person Controlling Borrower in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any Person Controlling Borrower in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its Persons Controlling Borrower are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
49 |

No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower (provided that the foregoing is meant to relate specifically to Borrower and the Property and not, by way of example only, to the economy of the United States or the location of the Property or the medical profession).

In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute , regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code which, as of the date hereof, prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.

Except as disclosed in the separate property condition report for each Individual Property delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, the Improvements at each Individual Property were in material compliance with applicable law on the Closing Date.

4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. Each Individual Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the applicable Individual Property for its intended uses.

In the event that Lender fails to respond to the applicable matter in question within such time frames as set forth above, Lender’s failure to respond shall constitute Lender’s deemed approval of the particular approval request.
(b) In the event of any (A) default by Borrower in the performance of any part of its obligations under any Ground Lease that continues to exist beyond any notice and cure period available to Borrower under the applicable Ground Lease, including, without limitation, any default in the payment of rent, additional rent and other charges and impositions made payable by the tenant thereunder, or (B) receipt by Lender of any written notice from a Ground Lessor of any default by Borrower under the related Ground Lease which notice starts any cure period available to Lender under such Ground Lease to cure such default, then, in each and every case under (A) or (B) above, Lender may, at its option and without notice, cause such default or defaults to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all of the rights of Borrower thereunder in the name of and on behalf of Borrower but no such action by Lender shall release Borrower from any default under this Agreement. Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse Lender for all advances made and expenses incurred by Lender in curing any such default (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date that an advance is made or expense is incurred, to and including the date the same is paid and such monies so expended by Lender with interest thereon shall be secured by this Agreement.
(c) If Borrower acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in any Ground Lease Property, or any part thereof, the lien of the applicable Security Instrument shall attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Property. Borrower agrees to execute all instruments and documents which Lender may reasonably require to ratify, confirm and further evidence Lender’s lien on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, Borrower hereby appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as the Debt remains unpaid but may only be exercised if an Event of Default exists.
(d) If any Ground Lease is canceled or terminated, and if Lender or its nominee shall acquire an interest in any new lease or all or any part of the related Ground Lease Property, Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to the new lease or the leasehold estate created by such new lease.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any Ground Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment and Lender shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Agreement. Lender shall be liable for the obligations of the tenant arising under any Ground Lease for only that period of time which Lender is in possession of the related Ground Lease Property and has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Borrower’s right, title and interest therein.

(h) Borrower shall enforce the obligations of each Ground Lessor under the applicable Ground Lease to the end that Borrower may enjoy all of the rights granted to it under the Ground Lease, and will promptly notify Lender of any default known to Borrower by the Ground Lessor in the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease. If, pursuant to any Ground Lease, the related Ground Lessor shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default given to Borrower, as lessee under such Ground Lease, and which notice starts any cure period available to Lender under such Ground Lease to cure such default, such notice shall constitute full authority and protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith and in reliance thereon.
(i) Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of the commencement of any arbitration or appraisal proceeding under and pursuant to the provisions of any Ground Lease. Lender shall have the right to intervene and participate in any such proceeding and Borrower shall confer with Lender and its attorneys and experts and cooperate with them to the extent that Lender deems reasonably necessary for the protection of Lender.

(k) With respect to any Ground Lease requiring the periodic payment of any rent, Borrower shall deliver to Lender reasonably satisfactory proof of payment thereof within thirty (30) days following Lender’s request therefore.
(l) Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably assigns to Lender (i) any right which Borrower has pursuant of the terms of any Ground Lease to renew and/or extend the term thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall only exercise such right during the continuance of an existing Event of Default or in the event Lender reasonably determines that such exercise is necessary to protect its interest in the related Ground Lease Property; (ii) any right which Borrower has pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease to cancel or terminate the Ground Lease; provided, however, that Lender shall only exercise such right after a foreclosure or its acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure; and (iii) any option or right that Borrower has pursuant to any Ground Lease to purchase any or all of the premises demised thereunder.
(m) In the event that it is claimed by any Governmental Authority that any tax or governmental charge or imposition is due, unpaid or payable by Borrower upon or in connection with any Ground Lease, Borrower shall promptly either (i) pay such tax, charge or imposition when due and deliver to Lender reasonably satisfactory proof of payment thereof or (ii) contest such tax in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents. If liability for such tax is asserted against Lender, Lender will give to Borrower prompt notice of such claim, and Borrower, upon complying with the provisions of the Loan Documents shall have full right and authority to contest such claim of taxability.
(n) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement with respect to any Ground Lease:
(i) If any Ground Lease is terminated for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease by the related Ground Lessor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, (i) Borrower, promptly after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to Lender, (ii) Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, shall not elect to treat such Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by Borrower made without such consent shall be void, and (iii) the terms, covenants and conditions of this Loan Agreement and the Loan Documents hereby extends to and covers Borrower’s possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of such Ground Lease or other termination of such Ground Lease. In addition, Borrower hereby assigns irrevocably to Lender Borrower’s rights to treat any Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to offset rents under any Ground Lease in the event any case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against the related Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not seek to offset, pursuant to Subsection 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code, against the rent reserved in any Ground Lease, the amount of any damages caused by the nonperformance by the related Ground Lessor of any of its obligations under such Ground Lease after the rejection by such Ground Lessor of such Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.
77 |
(ii) As security for the Debt, Borrower unconditionally assigns, transfers and sets over to Lender all of Borrower’s (a) right to reject any Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, (b) right to seek an extension of the 60-day period within which Borrower must assume or reject any Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statue or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law ,and (c) claims and rights to the payment of damages arising from any rejection by any Ground Lessor of any Ground Lease under the Bankruptcy Code. Lender shall have the right to proceed in the name of Borrower in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents in any case in respect of the related Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code. This assignment constitutes a present, irrevocable and unconditional assignment of the foregoing claims, rights and remedies and shall continue in effect until all of the Debt shall have been satisfied and discharged in full. Any amounts received by Lender or Borrower as damages arising out of the rejection of any Ground Lease as aforesaid shall be applied to all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs) incurred in connection with the exercise of any of its rights or remedies in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the foregoing assignment is not effective under applicable law and Borrower shall desire to so reject any Ground Lease, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign its interest in such Ground Lease to Lender in lieu of rejecting such Ground Lease, upon receipt by Borrower of notice from Lender of such request together with Lender’s agreement to cure any existing defaults of Borrower under such Ground Lease.
(iii) If any action, proceeding, motion or notice shall be commenced or filed in respect of any Ground Lessor or all or any part of the related Ground Lease Property in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, Lender and Borrower shall cooperatively conduct and control any such litigation with counsel agreed upon between Borrower and Lender in connection with such litigation. Borrower shall, upon demand, pay to Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and costs) actually paid or actually incurred by Lender in connection with the cooperative prosecution or conduct of any such proceedings. All such costs and expenses shall be deemed to be secured by the Loan Documents.
(iv) Borrower shall promptly, after obtaining knowledge of such filing, notify Lender orally of any filing by or against any Ground Lessor of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code. Borrower shall thereafter promptly give written notice of such filing to Lender, setting forth any information available to Borrower as to the date of such filing, the court in which such petition was filed, and the relief sought in such filing.

(h) A Transfer (a “Qualified Equityholder Transfer”) of direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower to a Qualified Equityholder resulting in a change in Control of Borrower may occur at any time and from time-to-time without Lender’s consent, so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) Following the consummation of such Qualified Equityholder Transfer, such Qualified Equityholder shall Control of Borrower, (ii) a Qualified Replacement Guarantor shall deliver to Lender a replacement guaranty and a replacement environmental indemnity agreement each in form and substance substantially identical to the Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity executed by Guarantor as of the closing of the Loan; (iii) such Qualified Replacement Guarantor shall have furnished to Lender all appropriate documentation evidencing such Person’s organization and good standing, and the qualification of the signers to execute the applicable documents on its behalf, which documentation shall include certified copies of all relevant documents relating to the organization and formation of such Qualified Replacement Guarantor and of the entities, if any, which are partners or members of the Qualified Replacement Guarantor; (iv) Lender must receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice thereof; (v) Borrower shall furnish to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion and such other legal opinions reasonably required by Lender; (vi) Borrower shall furnish one or more Officer’s Certificates representing and warranting that, following such Qualified Equityholder Transfer, each Borrower continues to comply with the provisions of Section 4.1.30 hereof; (vii) Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such Qualified Equityholder Transfer all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection therewith, and (viii) Borrower shall furnish Lender copies of any documentation executed in connection with the Qualified Equityholder Transfer promptly after execution thereof.
84 |
(i) Without Lender’s prior written consent thereto, in its sole discretion, any Transfer or Permitted Transfer resulting in any direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower or the Property being held in any Prohibited Entity/Ownership Structure is prohibited, even if the same would be otherwise allowed pursuant to this Section 5.2.10, the definition of a Permitted Transfer or any other provision of any Loan Document.
Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s Transfer without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
ARTICLE VI - INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION
Section 6.1 Insurance. (a) Each Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for each Borrower and each Individual Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i) comprehensive all risk “special form” insurance including loss caused by any type of windstorm, windstorm related perils, “named storms,” or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, including contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement means 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 Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of 5% of Net Cash Flow of the applicable Individual Property for all such insurance coverage; provided however with respect to windstorm and earthquake coverage, providing for a deductible satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion which for clarity includes 5% of the total insured value of each Individual Property; and (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the applicable Individual Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the full Replacement Cost for coverage A, undamaged portion, and fifteen percent (15%) each for coverage B for demolition costs and coverage C for increased costs of construction. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any material portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area,” flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, plus excess flood coverage in an amount equal to the “probable maximum loss” for the Improvements, as determined by an engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender, or such greater amount as Lender shall reasonably require, and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (but in any event, in an amount not less than 150% of the “probable maximum loss”) in the event the applicable Individual Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and the “probable maximum loss” for the Improvements, as determined by an engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender, is 20% or greater (based on a 475-year return period, an exposure period of 50 years and a 10% probability of exceedance), provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);
85 |
(ii) business income or rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross revenues from the operation of the applicable Individual Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) for a period of (1) not less than twelve (12) months from the date of casualty or loss if the amount of the Loan is less than $35,000,000, or (2) not less than eighteen (18) months from the date of casualty or loss if the amount of the Loan is $35,000,000 or more; and (D) if the amount of the Loan is $50,000,000 or more, containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of 180 days from the date that the applicable Individual 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. The amount of such business income or rental loss 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 revenues from the applicable Individual Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7.1 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender as additional reserves hereunder pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof and, in the event that the proceeds of such business income or rental loss insurance are paid in a lump sum in advance, in the absence of an Event of Default, Lender shall disburse a portion thereof (calculated based upon aggregate amount of such proceeds divided by the number of Payment Dates occurring during the time period reasonably determined by Lender to be required to restore the damage caused by the related casualty) on each Payment Date to the Clearing Account; 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 this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the applicable Individual Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the applicable Individual Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
86 |
(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers, other pressure-fixed vessels, large air conditioning systems, elevators or other large machinery are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death, contractual damage or property damage occurring upon, in or about the applicable Individual Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than $2,000,000.00 in the aggregate and $1,000,000.00 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 written contracts and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Security Instrument to the extent the same is available;
(vi) automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of $1,000,000.00;
(vii) if Borrower has any employees, worker’s compensation and employee’s liability subject to the worker’s compensation laws of the applicable state;
(viii) umbrella and excess liability insurance in an amount not less than: (A) $5,000,000.00 per occurrence if the amount of the Loan is less than $35,000,000, or (B) $25,000,000.00 per occurrence, if the amount of the Loan is $35,000,000 or more, on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (v) above, including supplemental coverage for employer liability, if applicable, and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile liability coverage in clause (vi) above;
(ix) the insurance required under this Section 6.1(a) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism and Borrower shall maintain insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism (as defined in the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007 and the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015, or its subsequent extensions or reauthorizations, or replacement act), on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 6.1(a) above at all times during the term of the Loan; provided, however, Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two (2) times the amount of the Insurance Premiums that are payable in respect of the property and rental loss and/or business income insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism components of such property and rental loss and/or business income insurance) on the date of this Agreement, and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount; and
87 |
(x) upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including sinkhole or land subsidence 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 applicable Individual Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, 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 shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies approved to do business in the State and having a rating of (A) if the amount of the Loan is $35,000,000 or more, “A:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, and “A3” or better by Xxxxx’x, if rated by Xxxxx’x, or (B) if the amount of the Loan is less than $35,000,000, “A-:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P, and “A3” or better by Xxxxx’x, if rated by Xxxxx’x. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any required earthquake insurance must satisfy the requirements of subsection (A) hereof regardless of the amount of the Loan. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the applicable Individual Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof. Lender may determine (including at the request of Borrower), in its reasonable discretion, the amount of such coverage that is sufficient in light of the other risks and properties insured under the blanket policy based on a review of the relevant schedule of locations limited to the minimum details required and based on zip code, county or radial distance, including property values.
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vii) of this Agreement, shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
88 |
(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;
(ii) the Policy shall not be canceled (A) for nonpayment of a premium without at least ten (10) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured, and (B) for any reason other than nonpayment of a premium without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) intentionally omitted; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) 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 to take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the applicable Individual Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender reasonably deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the applicable Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid 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 Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably required by Lender to permit such participation.
89 |
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property (or any portion thereof) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award 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. If any portion of any Individual Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the applicable Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, 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 a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument in connection with a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and, if the Property is a hospitality property, determination of such value shall exclude personal property and going concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down in an amount sufficient to satisfy the REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and that the REMIC Trust will not be subject to tax as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument. In connection with the foregoing, the Net Proceeds shall not be available for Restoration and shall be used to pay down the principal balance of the Loan to the extent set forth above.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Availability Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Availability Threshold, the Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
90 |
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Availability Threshold, and provided that such Restoration is permitted under applicable Legal Requirements even though the Property is legally nonconforming or nonconforming, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 means: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (ix) (excluding in the case of such item (ix), any such insurance proceeds payable to third parties for liability or tort claims) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the applicable Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the applicable Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, shall make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto (utilizing the Net Proceeds and any applicable Net Proceeds Deficiency), and (1) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, (2) Lender is satisfied in its reasonable judgment that the net operating income for the Individual Property will be equal to or greater than that which exists prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii), or (3) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is reasonably expected to be 1.55:1.0 or greater after the Restoration. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” means (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to eighty percent (80%);
(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion (for the purposes of this clause the filing of an application for a building permit in accordance with all Legal Requirements shall be deemed to be commencement of the Restoration provided Borrower diligently pursues obtaining such permit and promptly commences the physical Restoration following the issuance of the building permit);
91 |
(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled Monthly Debt Service Payment Amounts, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) 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 Lease or Ground Lease related to the Individual Property which suffered the Casualty or Condemnation, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(G) the Restoration is permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the applicable Individual Property or the Improvements;
(J) Intentionally Omitted;
(K) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lender’s approval; and
(L) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
92 |
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), 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 applicable Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable 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 applicable Title Insurance Policy.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). 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 contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) 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” means an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed until the Restoration is fifty percent (50%) complete and five percent (5%) thereafter. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), 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 6.4(b) 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 reasonably 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 shall 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 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 evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender evidencing that the applicable Title Insurance Policy continues to insure the priority of the lien of the applicable Security Instrument over any mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien related to the Restoration. 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.
93 |
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) 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 pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) Provided no continuing Event of Default shall then exist, after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender shall be (1) if a Cash Sweep Period then exists, deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, and (2) if no Cash Sweep Period then exists, disbursed to Borrower.
(c) 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 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 9(b) of the Note, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its reasonable 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 approve, in its reasonable discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property (or any portion thereof) in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket 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 title.
94 |
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if Lender applies any Net Proceeds to the repayment of the Debt and such Net Proceeds are not sufficient to obtain the release of the Individual Property subject to the Casualty or Condemnation, Borrower may, in its sole discretion, repay a portion of the Loan in an amount equal to the difference between the applicable Release Amount and the Net Proceeds applied to repay the Loan, and satisfy all of the other conditions for Partial Release contained in Section 2.6.2 of this Agreement, Lender shall release the lien of the Security Instrument from the applicable Individual Property, and no Prepayment Consideration or similar sum shall be due in connection therewith.

7.5.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds.

Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) 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 and the Security Instruments have been foreclosed, sold or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
106 |
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instruments in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instruments then due and payable as determined by Lender in its discretion including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instruments to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instruments as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Security Instruments to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instruments and not previously recovered.
(c) If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the right to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date and no Severed Loan Documents shall increase in any manner Borrower’s obligations, decrease Borrower’s rights or modify in a manner adverse to Borrower any financial obligations of Borrower.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
107 |
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX - SPECIAL PROVISIONS

9.1.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. (a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).
(b) At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall, at no cost or expenses to Borrower, use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, if any, the Property and, if not subject to a confidentiality agreement, any Tenant of the Improvements. Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Property may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents. Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Guarantor and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at no cost or expense to Borrower at Lender’s request, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization, provided that Borrower shall not be required to increase in any manner Borrower’s obligations, decrease Borrower’s rights or modify in a manner adverse to Borrower any financial obligations of Borrower. Borrower and Guarantor agree to review, at Lender’s request in connection with the Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and the Loan, including, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Security Instrument,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” and shall confirm that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager or the Loan) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
108 |
(c) (i) Borrower agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes Borrower shall not be required to modify (A) the initial weighted average interest rate payable under the Note (and the weighted average interest rate shall only change in the event of an Event of Default or the application of any Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds to the Debt), (B) the stated maturity of the Note, (C) the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (D) any other material economic term of the Loan, (E) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents, or (F) any other term contained in the Loan Documents, the effect of which would be to increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components or mezzanine loans.
(ii) Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower agrees that upon Lender’s request that the respective original principal amounts of Note A-1 and Note A-2 be revised in connection with a Securitization (provided that such revisions shall not change the aggregate principal balance of such Notes or modify any of its terms set forth in clauses (c)(i)(A) – (F) above), Borrower shall complete the following actions within five (5) Business Days following Lender’s written request therefore:
(A) Borrower shall execute and deliver a replacement for each of Note A-1 and Note A-2 with such revised original principal amounts, such replacement Notes to be in the forms executed and delivered as of the closing of the Loan, and upon such execution and delivery, such replacement Notes shall be the Note A-1 and Note A-2 defined herein; and
(B) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall cause its respective counsel to issue supplemental or replacement legal opinions in the form of such counsel’s opinion delivered as of the closing of the Loan with respect to the replacement Notes.
(d) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide, at no additional cost to Borrower, Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender reasonably shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(e) Borrower hereby appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution (which appointment shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and to be irrevocable until the Loan is paid and the Security Instrument is discharged of record, with Borrower hereby ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof) to execute and deliver all documents and do all other acts and things necessary or desirable to effect any Securitization authorized hereunder; provided, however, that unless an Event of Default exists, Lender shall not execute or deliver any such documents or do any such acts or things under such power.
109 |

Following the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender may forward to any broker, prospective purchaser of any Individual Property or the Loan, or other person or entity all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Debt, Borrower, any Guarantor, any indemnitor, any Individual Property and any other matter in connection with the Loan, whether furnished by Borrower, any Guarantor, any indemnitor or otherwise, as Lender reasonably determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to limit or prevent such disclosure, including any right of privacy or any claims arising therefrom.
Section 9.3 Exculpation. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower or any officer, director, shareholder, partner, member, principal, employee of Borrower or any direct or indirect owner of Borrower (provided that the foregoing shall not limit in any manner, the liability of any Guarantor), 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 its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property (or any portion thereof), the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Security Instrument; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty, indemnity or similar agreement or undertaking made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of any assignment of leases contained in the Security Instrument and any other Loan Documents; or (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Security Instrument or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property (or any portion thereof).

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other actual out-of-pocket liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding, in all events, consequential, punitive, special, exemplary and indirect damages), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that are imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
