Lender shall have the right to have the Note subdivided, by exchange for promissory notes of lesser denominations in the form of the initial Note, upon written request to Borrower and, in such event, Borrower shall promptly execute additional or replacement Notes, at the Lender's sole expense with respect to Borrower's reasonable out-of-pocket costs in the event and to the extent Borrower incurs costs in connection therewith other than in connection with the execution of such additional or replacement Notes. At no time shall the aggregate original principal amount of the Note (or of such replacement Notes) exceed the Loan Amount.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 2.5.Β Β Β Β Principal and Interest.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the Principal Indebtedness of the Loan from the Closing Date through the end of the Interest Accrual Period following or during which the Loan is paid in full at the interest rate provided in this SectionΒ 2.5. Interest on the Loan shall accrue on the Principal Indebtedness commencing on the Closing Date and shall be payable in arrears on the eleventh (11th) day of each and every month thereafter until such time as the Loan shall be repaid in full, unless, in any such case, such day is not a Business Day, in which event such interest shall be payable on the first Business Day immediately prior to such date (such date for any particular month, the "Payment Date"). Lender or its servicer shall calculate LIBOR on each Interest Determination Date for the related Interest Accrual Period and promptly communicate to Borrower such rate for such period. The entire outstanding Principal Indebtedness of the Loan and the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee), shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender on the Maturity Date. Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360Β day year and the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β For the initial Interest Accrual Period, the Principal Indebtedness shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to 4.78250%. For each Interest Accrual Period thereafter, the Principal Indebtedness shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined as of the Interest Determination Date for such Interest Accrual Period plus 2.95%.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Β Β While an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest at the Default Rate on any amount owing to Lender not paid when due until such amount is paid in full.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β Β Β If any payment of principal, interest or other sums shall not be made to Lender on the date the same is due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to five percent (5.0%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder (other than the entire principal balance of the Loan due upon acceleration of the Loan or on the Maturity Date, as to which the Default Administration Fee shall apply) or under any other Loan Document (or, in the case of a partial payment, the unpaid portion thereof), such late charge to be immediately due and payable without demand by Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender any amount necessary to compensate Lender and any Funding Party for any losses or costs (including, without limitation, the costs of breaking any "LIBOR" contract, if applicable, or funding losses determined on the basis of Lender's or such Funding Party's reinvestment rate and the interest rate on the Loan) (collectively, "Funding Losses") sustained
24
by Lender or any Funding Party: (i)Β if the Note, or any portion thereof, is repaid for any reason whatsoever on any date other than a Payment Date (including, without limitation, from condemnation or insurance proceeds); or (ii)Β as a consequence of (x)Β any increased cost of funds that Lender or any Funding Party may sustain in maintaining the borrowing evidenced hereby or (y)Β the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower, in either case under clauseΒ (i) or (ii), due to the introduction of, or any change in, any law or applicable regulation or treaty adopted after the date hereof (including the administration or interpretation thereof), whether or not having the force of law, or due to the compliance by Lender or the Funding Party, as the case may be, with any directive, whether or not having the force of law, or request from any central bank or domestic or foreign governmental authority, agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction made as of the date hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, Funding Losses shall not include Tax Liabilities which are not payable by Borrower pursuant to SectionΒ 2.10.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β If Lender or any Funding Party shall have determined that the applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the JulyΒ 1988 report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards", or the adoption of any other law, rule, regulation or guideline (including but not limited to any United States law, rule, regulation or guideline) regarding capital adequacy, or any change becoming effective in any of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing by any court or any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender or its holding company or a Funding Party or its holding company, as the case may be, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency made after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender or its holding company, or of the Funding Party's or its holding company, as the case may be, then, upon demand by Lender and provided that such payments are being demanded from and made by other borrowers of similarly situated loans, Borrower shall pay to Lender, from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or such Funding Party for any such reduction suffered.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (g)Β Β Β Β Any amount payable by Borrower under Sections 2.5(e) or (f)Β shall be paid to Lender within ten (10)Β Business Days after receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an officer of Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount in reasonable detail and the computations made by Lender to determine the amount due, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period; except that Borrower shall not be liable to any Funding Party or to Lender in respect of any reduction described in Sections 2.5(d) or (e)Β with respect to any period more than three (3)Β months before Borrower receives the certificate required by the previous sentence. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any event described in Sections 2.5(e) or (f)Β above and of the amount to be paid as a result thereof, provided, however, any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not affect its obligation to make the payments to be made under this Section as a result thereof. All amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section shall constitute additional interest under the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (h)Β Β Β Β If Lender or any Funding Party requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of Sections 2.5(e) or (f), then, upon request of Borrower, Lender or such Funding Party shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution's practice in connection with loans similar in size and type as the Loan to eliminate,
25
mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to Lender or such Funding Party, including, without limitation, by designating another of Lender's or such Funding Party's offices, branches or affiliates as the lending office, branch or affiliate; Borrower hereby agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by Lender or any Funding Party in connection with any such action.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β Β Β Β Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law ("Excess Interest"). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1)Β the provisions of this paragraph shall govern and control; (2)Β Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3)Β any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender's option, (a)Β applied as a credit against either or both of the Principal Indebtedness of the Loan or accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b)Β refunded to the payor thereof, or (c)Β any combination of the foregoing; (4)Β the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5)Β Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Indebtedness is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Indebtedness had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. If the Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the Maximum Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would have been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is greater than the applicable interest rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 2.6.Β Β Β Β Voluntary Prepayment.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β Borrower may voluntarily prepay the Loan in whole or in part on any Business Day; provided, however, that, any such prepayment shall be accompanied by an amount representing (1)Β all accrued interest on the portion of the Loan being prepaid, (2)Β with respect to any prepayment made on a Business Day other than a Payment Date, all accrued interest on the portion of the Loan being prepaid through the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs and (3)Β all other amounts then due under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Exit Fee).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β In the event of any such voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall give Lender written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of its intent to prepay, which notice shall be given at least fifteen (15)Β days' prior to the date upon which prepayment is to be made and shall specify the Payment Date on which such prepayment is to be made and the amount of such prepayment (which shall not be less than $1,000,000). If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the Payment Date specified therein (unless such notice is revoked by Borrower prior to the date specified therein in which event Borrower shall immediately reimburse Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the giving of such notice and its revocation).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 2.7.Β Β Β Β Mandatory Prepayment; Capital Events; Certain Transfers.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β Borrower may effect a Capital Event with respect to an individual Mortgaged Property on any Business Day as provided in SectionΒ 2.7(c) below or as to all of the Mortgaged Property on the
26
condition that with respect to any Capital Event as to all of the Mortgaged Property the Capital Event Proceeds (and, if necessary, any contributions from the principals of Borrower necessary to make the payments required hereunder) are deposited in the Collection Account and applied on the date of deposit in the Collection Account to repay the Indebtedness in full (including (1)Β all accrued interest on the Principal Indebtedness through the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which such deposit occurs, (2)Β the Exit Fee and (3)Β other amounts then due under the Loan Documents).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β At any time while the Hedge Agreement is outstanding, if the Lender notifies the Borrower in writing that the applicable Maximum LTV is not satisfied, then the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall either (i)Β pledge an Owned Property (or properties) acceptable to Lender as additional/substitute Collateral or (ii)Β make a prepayment of the Principal Indebtedness in the amount necessary to cause the Maximum LTV to be satisfied, in each case within twenty-five Business Days of receipt of such notice. At any time while the Loan is outstanding, if the Lender notifies the Borrower in writing that the Diversity Test is not satisfied, other than in connection with a Capital Event, then the Borrower, in its sole discretion, shall either (1)Β pledge an Owned Property (or properties) acceptable to Lender as additional/substitute Collateral or (2)Β make a prepayment of the Principal Indebtedness in the amount necessary to cause the Maximum LTV and the Debt Service Coverage Test to be satisfied, in each case within twenty-five Business Days of receipt of such notice.. The Lender shall specify in the written notice delivered pursuant to the preceding two sentences the amount of the prepayment necessary to cause the Maximum LTV and/or the Debt Service Coverage Test to be satisfied.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Β Β So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may effect a Capital Event with respect to one or more individual Mortgaged Property(ies) or Owned Property(ies); provided, however, that (1)Β any such Capital Event of a Mortgaged Property shall be a sale or transfer to an Independent third party in an arm's-length transaction (including without limitation any joint venture in which Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower has an equity interest) or to an Affiliate of Borrower in connection with a refinancing transaction, and (2)Β each Capital Event of a Mortgaged Property shall be consummated in accordance with the following procedure:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (A)Β Β Borrower shall have given the Lender at least fifteen (15)Β Business Days' prior written notice of the Capital Event, the identity of the purchaser and the anticipated Capital Event Proceeds; and

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β Β Β Upon payment or prepayment of the Loan in full, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the amounts specified in SectionΒ 2.6, SectionΒ 2.7 and SectionΒ 2.12, as applicable, all other amounts then due and payable to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 2.8.Β Β Β Β Application of Payments After Event of Default.Β Β Β Β After an Event of Default, Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments at any time hereafter received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Lender shall have the continuing exclusive right to apply any and all such payments and any and all proceeds and recoveries from the Pledged Accounts, the Mortgaged Property or Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in Lender's sole discretion, to the Indebtedness and other amounts then outstanding under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in such order and manner as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender and Collateral Agent reimbursable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement arising as a result of such repayment, any accrued and unpaid interest then payable with respect to the Loan or the portion thereof being repaid, the Principal Indebtedness, any accrued and unpaid Exit Fee in respect of any such Principal Indebtedness or the portion thereof being repaid, any other sums then due and payable to or for the benefit of the Secured Parties

pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document(s), or to Property Expenses and Capital Improvement Costs for the Mortgaged Property, or to fund Reserve Accounts.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 2.9.Β Β Β Β Method and Place of Payment.Β Β Β Β Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 12:00Β p.m., Eastern time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America by wire transfer in federal or other immediately available funds to its account at such bank(s) as Lender may from time to time designate. Any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Lender shall notify Borrower in writing of any changes in the account to which payments are to be made. All payments made by Borrower hereunder, or by Borrower under the other Loan Documents, shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 2.10.Β Β Β Β Taxes.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β All payments made by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority (the "Tax Liabilities"), excluding net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Lender as a result of a present or former connection between such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein including being a citizen or resident or national of, or carrying on a business or maintaining a permanent establishment in such jurisdiction (other than any such connection arising solely from such Lender's having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement if, at the time such Lender first became a party to this Agreement, the applicable Governmental Authority would not have imposed such taxes but instead such taxes are a result of a change in relevant tax law including, but not limited to a change in the generally accepted interpretation of existing tax law). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities (or amounts in estimation or reimbursement for the same) from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased (such increase, "additional amounts") as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β If Lender is not a "United States person" within the meaning of SectionΒ 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a "Foreign Lender") Lender shall deliver to Borrower, prior to receipt of any payment subject to withholding under the Code (or upon accepting an assignment of an interest herein), two duly signed completed copies of either Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") FormΒ W-8BEN or any successor thereto (relating to Foreign Lender and entitling it to an exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax on all payments to be made to Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or IRS FormΒ W-8ECI or any successor thereto (relating to all payments to be made to Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement) or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and Borrower that Foreign Lender is entitled to an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. withholding tax, including any exemption pursuant to SectionΒ 881(c) of the Code. If the formΒ W-8BEN or W-8ECI provided by Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Tax Liabilities reimbursable by Borrower to Lender under SectionΒ 2.10(a) hereof, except to the extent that such Lender's assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from Borrower pursuant to SectionΒ 2.10(a). Thereafter and from time to time, Foreign Lender shall (i)Β promptly submit to Borrower such additional duly completed and signed copies of one of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United States taxing authorities) as may then be available under then current United States laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and Borrower of any available exemption from or
28
reduction of, United States withholding taxes in respect of all payments to be made to Foreign Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, (ii)Β promptly notify Borrower of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (iii)Β take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the redesignation of its lending office) to avoid any requirement of applicable laws that Borrower make any deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to such Foreign Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Β Β If a Lender transfers its rights and obligations under this Agreement from its lending office to another lending office, withholding tax (which shall be set forth in the IRS form or forms described in this SectionΒ 2.10 provided by such Lender to Borrower upon such transfer, taking into account the transfer) imposed on the Lender after the transfer in excess of the rate imposed prior to such transfer shall be deemed to be for purposes of this Agreement excluded from Tax Liabilities reimbursable by Borrower to Lender for periods after the transfer. This SectionΒ 2.10(c) shall not apply with respect to a change in lending office required for the particular right or obligation as a result of any change in, or the adoption or phase-in of, any law, rule or regulation applicable to such Lender and occurring after the date of this Agreement and the applicable Lender is unable, using commercially reasonable efforts, to change such lending office to another lending office that is subject to a lower withholding tax rate.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β Β Β If any Lender voluntarily changes its residence or place of business or takes any other similar action, and the effect of such change or action, as of the date thereof, would be to increase the Tax Liabilities of such Lender, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts in respect of such increase.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β Β Β If and to the extent that a Foreign Lender sells a participating interest to a participant which, pursuant to SectionΒ 9.9(a), seeks to obtain the benefits of SectionΒ 2.10, then such Foreign Lender shall promptly deliver to Borrower (i)Β two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to which such Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to U.S. withholding tax, and (ii)Β two duly signed completed copies of IRS FormΒ W-8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to comply with the requirements of SectionΒ 2.10(b), (e)Β or (h)Β (other than to the extent such failure is due to a change in law, rule or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), Borrower shall not be required to pay additional amounts to the Lender pursuant to this SectionΒ 2.10 with respect to Tax Liabilities imposed as a result of such failure.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (g)Β Β Β Β Borrower may, without reduction, withhold any Tax Liabilities required to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents with respect to which Borrower is not required to pay additional amounts under this SectionΒ 2.10.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account and Replacement Reserve Account.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β Β Β On or before the Closing Date, Collateral Agent shall establish on behalf of the Borrower and maintain with the Collection Account Bank two separate accounts for deferred maintenance and replacement reserves, each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall have the same title as the Collection Account, for the benefit of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties until the Loan is paid in full. The two accounts shall be designated the "Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account" (the "Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account") and the "Replacement Reserve Account" (the "Replacement Reserve Account"). On each Advance Date, if the Maximum LTV or the Debt Service Coverage Test is not satisfied, Lender shall deposit out of the proceeds of such Advance in the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account 125% of the amount of the immediate repairs referenced in the Property Condition Assessments and Environmental Reports delivered with respect to the Mortgaged Property being financed with the proceeds of the related Advance to the extent such repairs have not been completed prior to the Advance Date. On each Payment Date, commencing with the OctoberΒ 2004 Payment Date, if the Maximum LTV or the Debt Service Coverage Test is not satisfied, Borrower shall deposit from the Collection Account (or if the funds for such deposit are not available pursuant to SectionΒ 2.12(b), shall make an additional deposit of Borrower's funds sourced from equity capital contributions) to the Replacement Reserve Account, of an amount equal to the Replacement Reserve Deposit Amount.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β Β Β Any and all Moneys remitted to the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account, together with any Permitted Investments in which such Moneys are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Agreement, shall be held in the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account to be withdrawn by Collateral Agent upon written request of Borrower made not more than one time during each calendar quarter in an amount not less than $10,000, and applied to pay directly or reimburse Borrower for the immediate repairs referenced in the Property Condition Assessments and Environmental Reports delivered with respect to the applicable Mortgaged Property (the "Immediate Repairs") upon satisfaction of the disbursement conditions listed on ScheduleΒ 6 hereof. Borrower shall complete such Immediate Repairs and shall provide to Lender such documentation, and other evidence of compliance with law as Lender may reasonably require. The funds contained in the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account shall be utilized by Borrower solely for performance of the Immediate Repairs in accordance with the Property Condition Assessments and Environmental Reports, and shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any other Reserve Account is established. Upon written application of Borrower (which may be done by electronic mail or e-mail), Borrower shall be entitled to obtain disbursements by Collateral Agent from the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account to pay costs incurred by Borrower for such Immediate Repairs, provided that (a)Β no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b)Β Borrower shall provide to Collateral Agent (including by electronic mail or e-mail) such documentation and certifications as Collateral Agent may reasonably request to substantiate the requirement for and entitlement to such disbursement, (c)Β Borrower shall provide to Collateral Agent (including by electronic mail or e-mail) with all invoices, receipts, lien waivers and other
35
documentation of lawful and workmanlike progress or completion, lien-free status, and availability of sufficient funds, all as may be reasonably requested by Collateral Agent, and (d)Β Borrower shall provide Collateral Agent such evidence as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender that after payment of any draw for Immediate Repairs, the funds remaining in the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account shall be sufficient to pay for the remainder of such Immediate Repairs. In the event Borrower completes the repairs for which funds were reserved in the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and excess funds remain on deposit or in the event the related Mortgaged Property is the subject of a Capital Event, Collateral Agent shall disburse any and all amounts then remaining on deposit in the Deferred Maintenance Escrow Account which had been reserved for repairs to the Collection Account.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β Β Β Subject to the provisions of SectionΒ 2.13(a)(i), any and all Moneys remitted to the Replacement Reserve Account, together with any Permitted Investments in which such Moneys are or will be invested or reinvested during the term of this Agreement, shall be held in the Replacement Reserve Account to be withdrawn by Collateral Agent upon written request of Borrower made not more than once each month in an amount not less than $10,000, and applied to reimburse Borrower for Capital Improvement Costs (other than those for Immediate Repairs) reasonably approved by Lender for disbursements from the Replacement Reserve ("Approved Capital Expenditures") upon satisfaction of the disbursement conditions listed on ScheduleΒ 6 hereof, provided that funds in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any other Reserve Account is established.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account and Insurance Escrow Account.Β Β Β Β On or before the Closing Date, Collateral Agent shall on behalf of the Borrower establish and maintain with the Collection Account Bank two separate accounts for Basic Carrying Costs, each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall have the same title as the Collection Account for the benefit of Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties until the Loan is paid in full. The two accounts shall be designated the "Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account" (the "Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account") and the "Insurance Escrow Account" (the "Insurance Escrow Account"). On each Advance Date, if the Maximum LTV or the Debt Service Coverage Test is not satisfied, the Lender shall deposit out of the proceeds of the related Advance in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account and in the Insurance Escrow Account the amount necessary to meet the first xxxx with credit for existing monthly escrow payments made prior to the applicable due date. With respect to each Payment Date, if the Maximum LTV or the Debt Service Coverage Test is not satisfied, Borrower shall deposit from the Collection Account (or, if the funds for such deposit are not available pursuant to SectionΒ 2.12(b), shall make an additional deposit of Borrower's funds sourced from equity capital contributions),
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (1)Β Β Β an amount equal to (1/12th) one-twelfth of the annual real estate taxes and any other Impositions that if not paid in a timely manner will result in a Lien on a Mortgaged Property in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account,
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (2)Β Β Β an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual insurance premiums for policies of insurance required to be maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement, and any additional insurance required under any of the other Loan Documents, in the Insurance Escrow Account.
Any and all Moneys remitted to the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or Insurance Escrow Account (which shall not bear interest for the benefit of Borrower) shall be held in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or Insurance Escrow Account to be withdrawn from the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or Insurance Escrow Account, as applicable, by Collateral Agent upon written request of Borrower delivered to Collateral Agent and Lender's servicer together with documentation and other evidence (including invoices and in the case of a reimbursement of Borrower, evidence that the related costs have been paid) with respect to the respective Basic Carrying Costs towards which such funds are

to be applied, and applied to pay directly (or reimburse Borrower, in the case of insurance premiums only) for (x)Β any Impositions (in the case of the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account) or (y)Β any insurance premiums for policies of insurance required to be maintained by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property pursuant to this Agreement, and any additional insurance required under any of the other Loan Documents (in the case of the Insurance Escrow Account). Borrower shall provide Lender or its servicer with bills and other documents necessary for payment of Impositions and insurance premiums at least ten (10)Β Business Days prior to the due dates therefor. In the event the amount on deposit in the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or the Insurance Escrow Account exceeds the amount due for Impositions by more than one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual real estate taxes (in the case of the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account) or the amount due for insurance premiums (in the case of the Insurance Escrow Account), respectively, Lender or its servicer shall in its sole discretion credit such excess against future payment obligations to the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account or the Insurance Escrow Account, as applicable.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (c)Β Β Β Β Operating Expense Account, Working Capital Reserve Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account.Β Β Β Β On or before the Closing Date, Collateral Agent shall on behalf of the Borrower establish and maintain with the Collection Account Bank three accounts for the remittance of funds by Lender or its servicer in its sole discretion after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each of which shall be an Eligible Account and shall have the same title as the Collection Account for the benefit of Lender until the Loan is paid in full. The three accounts shall be designated the "Operating Expense Account" (the "Operating Expense Account"), the "Working Capital Reserve Account" (the "Working Capital Reserve Account") and the "Debt Service Reserve Account" (the "Debt Service Reserve Account"). On any Business Day after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender or its servicer may in its sole discretion deposit into the Operating Expense Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account or the Debt Service Reserve Account any funds then on deposit in the Local Collection Account or the Collection Account. Any and all Moneys remitted to the Operating Expense Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account or the Debt Service Reserve Account shall, until otherwise applied by Collateral Agent from time to time at Lender's sole discretion during the existence of any Event of Default, be held in the Operating Expense Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account or the Debt Service Reserve Account, as applicable, and applied, if Lender elects in its sole discretion to make such funds available for such application,
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (x)Β Β Β Β with respect to the Operating Expense Account only, to pay Property Expenses provided for in the Operating Budget approved by Lender, or for other Property Expenses approved by Lender,
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (y)Β Β Β Β with respect to the Working Capital Reserve Account only, as a working capital reserve up to the then applicable Working Capital Reserve Amount, as the same adjusts from time to time under the then applicable Working Capital Budget, or in such greater or lesser amount as Lender may determine from time to time, with disbursements from time to time at Lender's option from the Working Capital Reserve Account to the Operating Expense Account as working capital needs arise which may not be satisfied from the funds on hand in the Operating Expense Account, all at the sole election of Lender, and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (z)Β Β Β Β with respect to the Debt Service Reserve Account only, applied to pay the Indebtedness at the sole election of Lender;
provided, that (1)Β notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may at any time, in its sole discretion, elect to apply the funds on deposit in the Operating Expense Account and/or the Working Capital Reserve Account to pay the Indebtedness (including without limitation any Prepayment Fee, Exit Fee and other amounts due Lender in connection with such prepayment) while any Event of Default exists, and (2)Β in the event Lender accepts in writing a proposed cure of the Event of Default which precipitated the deposits to the Operating Expense Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account and the Debt
37
Service Reserve Account and no other Event of Default exists, then the funds on deposit in the Operating Expense Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be released to Borrower.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (d)Β Β Β Β Prepaid Rent Account.Β Β Β Β On or before the Closing Date, Lender shall on behalf of the Borrower establish and maintain with the Collection Account Bank an account for the remittance of prepaid Rent designated the Prepaid Rent Account (the "Prepaid Rent Account") which shall be an Eligible Account and shall have the same title as Collection Account for the benefit of the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties until the Loan is paid in full. On each Advance Date, the Lender shall deposit out of the proceeds of the related Advance in the Prepaid Rent Account an estimate of prepaid Rent held by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property being financed with the proceeds of the related Advance. On each Payment Date, if the most recent Monthly Property Statement indicates that prepaid Rent for such month exceeds 5% of the previous month's total base Rent, the Collateral Agent shall cause an amount equal to the amount of such prepaid Rent to be deposited in the Prepaid Rent Account; provided, however, that on each Payment Date, the amount on deposit in the Prepaid Rent Account shall be adjusted to reflect the foregoing such that on each Payment Date, the amount in the Prepaid Rent Account shall equal exactly the amount of prepaid Rent due for such month, if any.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β Β Β Investment of Funds.Β Β Β Β All or a portion of any Moneys in the Reserve Accounts (other than the Real Estate Tax Escrow Account, the Insurance Escrow Account, the Operating Expense Account, the Working Capital Reserve Account and the Debt Service Reserve Account, none of which shall bear interest for the benefit of Borrower) shall be invested and reinvested, so long as an Event of Default has not occurred and is not continuing, by Collateral Agent in accordance with written instructions delivered by Borrower, or after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, by Lender, in one or more Permitted Investments. If no written investment direction is provided to Collateral Agent by Borrower, Collateral Agent may at its option invest such Moneys in a Permitted Investment selected by Lender. All interest paid or other earnings on the Permitted Investments of funds deposited into the Reserve Accounts made hereunder shall be deposited into the Reserve Accounts (other than with respect to the Real Estate Taxes Escrow Account and the Insurance Escrow Account for which Lender and its servicer shall not have any obligation to deposit such interest or earnings into such accounts). Collateral Agent shall have no liability for any loss in investments of funds in any Reserve Account that are invested in Permitted Investments and no such loss shall affect Borrower's obligation to fund, or liability for funding, the Reserve Accounts. Unless and until title to the funds therein shall have vested in any Person other than Borrower, Borrower shall include all such income or gain on any account of the Reserve Account as income of Borrower for federal and applicable state tax purposes.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β Event of Default.Β Β Β Β After an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be permitted to make any withdrawal(s) from any Pledged Accounts and Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may liquidate any Permitted Investments of the amount on deposit in such account, withdraw and use such amount on deposit in the Pledged Accounts to make payments on account of the Indebtedness or otherwise as provided in SectionΒ 2.8. Without in any way limiting the foregoing or Lender's rights and remedies upon an Event of Default, and subject to Lender's direction otherwise from time to time, in whole or in part, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, after and during the continuance of an Event of Default Lender may direct the Collection Account Bank or the Local Collection Account Bank to disburse to Lender or allocate all available funds on deposit in the Pledged Accounts to: (a)Β any debt service or other Indebtedness due under this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (b)Β any Reserve Account established under this Loan Agreement; (c)Β otherwise as a reserve for Property Expenses, Capital Improvement Costs, Impositions and other expenditures relating to the use, management, operation or leasing of the Mortgaged Property; and/or (d)Β any costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such Event of Default, or expended by Lender to protect or preserve the value of the Mortgaged Property.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 4.2.Β Β Β Β Representations and Warranties as to the Mortgaged Property.Β Β Β Β Borrower hereby represents and warrants to Lender that, as to each Mortgaged Property and the Mortgages, as of each Advance Date:
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (a)Β Β Β Β Title to the Mortgaged Property.Β Β Β Β Borrower owns good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to each Mortgaged Property (other than Personalty), free and clear of all Liens, other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower owns the Personalty free and clear of any and all Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances. There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal or restrictions on transferability affecting any Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or interest therein.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β Utilities and Public Access.Β Β Β Β Except as set forth on ScheduleΒ 10, (i)Β each Mortgaged Property has adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by public water, electric, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities; (ii)Β all public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of each Mortgaged Property as presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting the premises, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve each Mortgaged Property without passing over other property except for land or easement areas of or available to the utility company providing such utility service; and (iii)Β all roads necessary for the full utilization of each Mortgaged Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or are the subject of access easements for the benefit of each Mortgaged Property.

Each Mortgaged Property is zoned for its current use, which zoning designation is unconditional, in full force and effect, and is beyond all applicable appeal periods. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements located on any Mortgaged Property are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, other than customary demolition, building and other construction related permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Mortgaged Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Mortgaged Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Mortgaged Property. No tract map, parcel map, condominium plan, condominium declaration, or plat of subdivision will be recorded by Borrower with respect to the Mortgaged Property without Lender's prior written consent.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (e)Β Β Β Β Environmental Compliance.Β Β Β Β Except for matters set forth in the Environmental Reports delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (true, correct and complete copies of which have been provided to Lender by Borrower):

50
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β Β There is no material Environmental Claim pending or, to the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened, and no penalties arising under Environmental Laws have been assessed against Borrower, the Manager or any Mortgaged Property, or, to the actual knowledge of Borrower, against any Person whose liability for any Environmental Claim Borrower or the Manager has or may have retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law, and no material investigation or review is pending or, to the actual knowledge of Borrower, threatened by any Governmental Authority, citizens group, employee or other Person with respect to any alleged failure by Borrower or the Manager or any Mortgaged Property to have any environmental, health or safety permit, license or other authorization required under, or to otherwise comply with, any Environmental Law or with respect to any alleged liability of Borrower or the Manager for any Use or Release of any Hazardous Substances.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β Β There are no present and, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, there have been no past material Releases of any Hazardous Substances that are reasonably likely to form the basis of any Environmental Claim against Borrower, the Manager, any Mortgaged Property or against any Person whose liability for any Environmental Claim Borrower or the Manager has or may have retained or assumed either contractually or by operation of law (other than Hazardous Substances being used in amounts that are customary for properties such as the Mortgaged Property and for purposes that are typical for properties such as the Mortgaged Property and in all cases are utilized in compliance with Environmental Law in all material respects).
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iv)Β Β Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the best knowledge of the Borrower, there is not present at, on, in or under any Mortgaged Property, any Hazardous Substances (including, without limitation, PCB-containing equipment, asbestos or asbestos containing materials, underground storage tanks or surface impoundments for Hazardous Substances, lead in drinking water or lead based paint) (other than Hazardous Substances being used in amounts that are customary for properties such as the Mortgaged Property and for purposes that are typical for properties such as the Mortgaged Property and in all cases are utilized in compliance with Environmental Law in all material respects) or any fungus, mold, mildew or biological agent the presence of which is reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the value or utility of such Mortgaged Property.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (v)Β Β No liens are presently recorded with the appropriate land records under or pursuant to any Environmental Law with respect to the Mortgaged Property and no Governmental Authority has been taking or, to the actual knowledge of Borrower, is in the process of taking any action that could subject the Mortgaged Property to Liens under any Environmental Law.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (vi)Β Β There have been no environmental investigations, studies, audits, reviews or other analyses conducted by or that are in the possession of Borrower in relation to any Mortgaged Property which have not been made available to Lender.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (f)Β Β Β Β Mortgage and Other Liens.Β Β Β Β Each Mortgage creates a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the applicable Mortgaged Property described therein, as security for the repayment of the Indebtedness, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances applicable to such Mortgaged Property. This Agreement creates a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on all Account Collateral. Each Collateral Security Instrument establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable Lien on and a security interest in, or claim to, the rights and property described therein. All property covered by any Collateral Security Instrument in which a security interest can be perfected by the filing of a financing statement is subject to a UCC financing statement filed and/or recorded, as appropriate (or irrevocably delivered to an agent for such recordation or filing) in all places necessary to perfect a valid first priority Lien with respect to the rights and property that are the subject of such Collateral Security Instrument to the extent governed by the UCC.

The Mortgaged Property is comprised of one or more parcels, each of which constitutes a separate tax lot and none of which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β Β Β Β No Prior Assignment.Β Β Β Β Lender is the collateral assignee of Borrower's interest under the Leases. There are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rent due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (j)Β Β Β Β Permits; Certificate of Occupancy.Β Β Β Β Borrower has obtained all Permits necessary to the use and operation of each Mortgaged Property, except where the failure to obtain such Permits is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The use being made of each Mortgaged Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy and/or such Permits for such Mortgaged Property and any other restrictions, covenants or conditions affecting such Mortgaged Property, except for nonconformity which is not reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

There is no infringement by others of material Intellectual Property of Borrower.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (o)Β Β Β Β No Encroachments.Β Β Β Β Except as shown on the Survey, to the best knowledge of Borrower, (i)Β all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each Mortgaged Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of each Mortgaged Property, (ii)Β no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon any Mortgaged Property, (iii)Β no Improvements encroach upon any easements or other encumbrances affecting the Mortgaged Property, and (iv)Β all of the Improvements comply with all material requirements of any applicable zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (p)Β Β Β Β Management Agreement.Β Β Β Β The Management Agreement is in full force and effect. There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder by Borrower or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any other party thereto and no event (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach or violation by Borrower or, to the best knowledge of Borrower, any other party

Any such contest shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and Borrower shall promptly pay the amount of such Imposition or Lien Claim as finally determined, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender shall have full power and authority, but no obligation, to apply any amount deposited with Lender under this subsection to the payment of any unpaid Imposition or Lien Claim to prevent the sale or forfeiture of the Mortgaged Property for non-payment thereof, if Lender reasonably believes that such sale or forfeiture is threatened.

In such events, Borrower shall notify Lender as soon as practicable and, in any event, within three (3)Β Business Days, of any action taken.

If the initial Lender declines to offer a transaction on the same terms as the Proposed Terms and Borrower or such Affiliate subsequently either proposes to obtain a Refinancing Loan with material business terms at closing economically less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than those previously disclosed to Lender, then Borrower or such Affiliate shall provide the initial Lender with a further opportunity to make the Refinancing Loan on the modified terms in accordance with the timing provisions set forth above.

In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Loan Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Indebtedness), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. Each transferee investor shall become a "Lender" hereunder. The holders from time to time of the Loan and/or any other interest of the "Lender" under this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents may from time to time enter into one or more co-lender or similar agreements in their discretion. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that such agreements, as the same may from time to time be amended, modified or restated, may govern the exercise of the powers and discretionary authority of the Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, but Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon any actions taken by Lender or the designated servicer(s) or agent(s) for Lender, whether or not within the scope of its power and authority under such other agreements.

Copies of said Policies, certified as true and correct by Borrower, or insurance certificates thereof, shall be delivered to Lender. Not later than ten (10)Β days prior to the expiration date of each of the Policies, Borrower shall deliver to Lender satisfactory evidence of the renewal of each Policy. The insurance coverage required under this SectionΒ 5.1(x) may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Mortgaged Property and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Collateral; provided that any such blanket policy shall provide at least the same amount and form of protection as would a separate policy insuring the Mortgaged Property individually, which amount shall not be less than the amount required pursuant to this SectionΒ 5.1(x) and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with the requirements of this SectionΒ 5.1(x). Upon demand therefor, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all of Lender's or its designee's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in obtaining any or all of the Policies or otherwise causing the compliance with the terms and provisions of this SectionΒ 5.1(x), including (without limitation) obtaining updated flood hazard certificates and replacement of any so-called "forced placed" insurance coverages to the extent Borrower was required to obtain and maintain any such Policy or Policies hereunder and failed to do so.

or if Lender otherwise elects to allow a Borrower to restore the Mortgaged Property, then, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Insurance Proceeds (after reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the collection of any applicable Insurance Proceeds) shall be made available to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Mortgaged Property or part thereof subject to the Insured Casualty, as provided for below. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to commence and diligently to prosecute such Restoration of the affected Mortgaged Property as nearly as possible to the Pre-Existing Condition. Borrower shall pay all out-of-pocket costs (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit the total thereof with Lender in advance) of such Restoration in excess of the Insurance Proceeds made available pursuant to the terms hereof.

No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the hard construction costs value of the work performed from time to time (except for restoration work on a trade by trade basis or on an hourly basis for professional services in which event, payment may be made in full upon the completion of such work). Any funds other than Insurance Proceeds shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such proceeds; and, at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Insurance Proceeds remaining in the Loss Proceeds Account, together with funds deposited therein to pay the costs of the Restoration by or on behalf of Borrower, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration free and clear of all liens or claims for lien, except for Permitted Encumbrances. Any surplus which may remain out of Insurance Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or be paid to Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

retain any Condemnation Proceeds for said Taking. With respect to any compromise or settlement in connection with such proceeding, Lender shall jointly with Borrower compromise and reach settlement unless at the time of such Taking an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Indebtedness has been accelerated, in which event Lender shall compromise and reach settlement without the consent of Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this SectionΒ 5.1(y), Borrower is authorized to negotiate, compromise and settle, without participation by Lender, Condemnation Proceeds of up to 1% of the Principal Indebtedness in connection with any Taking.

Any surplus which may remain out of Condemnation Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of restoration, repair, replacement or rebuilding shall, at the option of Lender in its sole discretion, be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or be paid to Borrower so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (v)Β Β If the affected Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of any such Condemnation Proceeds to which it is entitled hereunder, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to have reserved in any foreclosure decree a right to receive said award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Indebtedness. In no case shall any such application reduce or postpone any payments otherwise required pursuant to this Agreement, other than the final payment on the Note.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (z)Β Β Β Β Leases and Rents.Β Β Β Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (i)Β Β Borrower absolutely and unconditionally assigns to Lender, Borrower's right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents as collateral for the Loan, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Lender shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be reasonably requested in writing by Lender to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this SectionΒ 5.1(z), Lender grants to Borrower a license to lease, maintain, operate and manage the Mortgaged Property and to collect, use and apply the Rents in accordance with the terms hereof and otherwise act as the landlord under the Leases, which license shall be deemed automatically revoked upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under this Agreement. Any portion of the Rents held by Borrower shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender for use in the payment of the Indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked, and Lender shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes control of the Mortgaged Property. Lender is hereby granted and assigned by Borrower the right, at its option, upon revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Mortgaged Property in person, by agent or by court-appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected after the revocation of the license shall be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness as set forth in SectionΒ 2.8 hereof.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (ii)Β Β All Leases entered into by Borrower shall provide for rental rates comparable to then-existing local market rates and terms and conditions commercially reasonable and consistent with then-prevailing local market terms and conditions for similar type properties, and in no event shall Borrower, absent Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, enter into any Leases (a)Β other than leases of Homesites to owners and occupants of residential manufactured homes or mobile homes having lease terms not in excess of two years, and (b)Β with any Affiliates of Borrower, except as indicated in ScheduleΒ 4 attached hereto. Borrower shall furnish Lender with (1)Β detailed term sheets in advance in the case of any Leases, modifications, amendments or renewals for which Lender's consent is required and (2)Β in the case of any other Leases, executed copies of such Leases upon written request. All renewals or amendments or modifications of Leases that do not satisfy the requirements of the first sentence of this SectionΒ 5.1(z)(ii) shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All Leases entered into after the Closing Date with new tenants (i.e. not renewals of existing tenants as of the Closing Date) shall be written on the standard lease form for new tenants previously approved by Lender which form as of the Closing Date is set forth on ScheduleΒ 10 attached hereto; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may modify any standard lease form without such approval to the extent necessary to conform such form to any applicable Legal Requirements (and, upon reasonable request of the Lender, the Borrower shall notify the Lender in writing with respect to any such modification).
75
The Borrower shall not materially change the standard lease form without Lender's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or except as necessary to comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Borrower,
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (A)Β Β shall observe and perform all of the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to materially impair the value of the Leases as security for the Indebtedness;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (B)Β Β shall not execute any other assignment of lessor's interest in any of the Leases or Rents;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (C)Β Β shall enforce all of the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed and shall effect a termination or diminution of the obligations of tenants under leases, only in a manner that a prudent owner of a similar property to the Mortgaged Property would enforce such terms covenants and conditions or effect such termination or diminution in the ordinary course of business;
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (D)Β Β except as otherwise set forth in the Monthly Statement submitted to Lender, shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1)Β month in advance; and
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (E)Β Β shall not convey or transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of the Mortgaged Property or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, lessees thereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (iii)Β Β Borrower shall deposit security deposits of lessees which are turned over to or for the benefit of Borrower or otherwise collected by or on behalf of Borrower, into the Security Deposit Account and shall not commingle such funds with any other funds of Borrower. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall, if permitted pursuant to Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender's option, be fully assignable to Lender) and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower's compliance with the foregoing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender's request, if permitted by any applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) with respect to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (aa)Β Β Β Β Maintenance of Mortgaged Property.Β Β Β Β Borrower shall cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair, subject to wear and tear and damage caused by casualty or condemnation. The Improvements and the Equipment shall not be removed, demolished or altered (except for (1)Β normal replacement of the Equipment, (2)Β Improvements contemplated in an approved Operating Budget or pursuant to Leases in effect from time to time, (3)Β removals, demolition or alterations that do not cost more than 1% of the Principal Indebtedness or (4)Β an emergency which the Borrower shall have notified the Lender of in writing, including the action taken to remediate) without the consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Except with respect to an Insured Casualty which shall be governed by the terms and conditions provided herein, Borrower shall, or shall cause any tenants obligated under their respective Leases to, promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Mortgaged Property that becomes damaged, worn or dilapidated. Borrower shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the
76
uses which may be made of any Mortgaged Property or any part thereof without the written consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit such nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned if such discontinuance of abandonment would cause such nonconforming use to no longer be permitted without the express written consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower shall not (i)Β change the use of any of the Land or Improvements in any material respect, (ii)Β permit or suffer to occur any waste on or to any Mortgaged Property or to any portion thereof or (iii)Β take any steps whatsoever to convert any Mortgaged Property, or any portion thereof, to a condominium or cooperative form of management.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (bb)Β Β Β Β SWAP Payments.Β Β Β Β Borrower covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender evidence of each payment made by Guarantor under the Hedge Agreement within two days thereof; provided however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Borrower's failure to comply with this clause (bb) constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (cc)Β Β Β Β Prohibited Persons.Β Β Β Β Borrower covenants and agrees to deliver (from time to time) to Lender any certification or other evidence as may be requested by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion, confirming that: (i)Β neither Borrower, Member, Guarantor nor their respective officers, directors, partners, members or majority-owned Affiliates is a Prohibited Person; and (ii)Β neither Borrower, Member, Guarantor nor their respective officers, directors, partners, members or majority-owned Affiliates has engaged in any business, transaction or dealings with a Person known to Borrower to be a Prohibited Person, including, but not limited to, the making or receiving of any contribution of funds, goods, or services, to or for the benefit of a Person known to Borrower to be a Prohibited Person.

Any such actions taken by Lender or Collateral Agent shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender or Collateral Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender or Collateral Agent permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β (b)Β Β Β Β In the event of the foreclosure or other action by Lender or Collateral Agent to enforce Collateral Agent's remedies in connection with all or any portion of the Collateral, Collateral Agent shall apply all Net Proceeds received to repay the Indebtedness in accordance with SectionΒ 2.8, the Indebtedness shall be reduced to the extent of such Net Proceeds and the remaining portion of the Indebtedness shall remain outstanding and secured by the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that Borrower is liable for the repayment of all the Indebtedness.

Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 7.3.Β Β Β Β Remedies Cumulative.Β Β Β Β The rights, powers and remedies of Lender and Collateral Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender or Collateral Agent may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents executed by or with respect to Borrower, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's and Collateral Agent's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender or Collateral Agent may determine in Lender's and Collateral Agent's sole 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 any Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender and Collateral Agent reserve the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim, in connection with the foreclosure of any Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property, to the extent necessary to foreclose on other parts of the Collateral.

have commenced the exercise of any remedies pursuant to SectionΒ 7.2, the Default Administration Fee shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

Borrower shall immediately repay all such sums so advanced, which sums shall immediately become part of the Indebtedness, bear interest at the Default Rate from the date advanced until the date repaid, and be secured by all Collateral.

ARTICLE X.
THE COLLATERAL AGENT
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.1.Β Β Β Β Appointment, Powers and Immunities.Β Β Β Β Each Secured Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Collateral Agent to act as its Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Collateral Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Collateral Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in SectionΒ 10.5 and the first sentence of SectionΒ 10.6 hereof shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates' officers, directors, employees and agents): (a)Β shall have no duties or responsibilities to the Secured Parties except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender; (b)Β shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower, or any other Person to perform any of their obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c)Β shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and (d)Β shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Collateral Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible to the Secured Parties for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.2.Β Β Β Β Reliance by Collateral Agent.Β Β Β Β Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, facsimile transmission, telex, electronic mail, or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Collateral Agent in good faith. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with the instructions given by all of the Secured Parties, and such instructions of such Secured Parties and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Secured Parties.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.3.Β Β Β Β Defaults.Β Β Β Β Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless Collateral Agent has received written notice from a Secured Party or Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event that Collateral Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, Collateral Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Secured Parties. Collateral Agent shall (subject to SectionΒ 10.7 hereof) take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be directed by all Secured Parties, provided that, unless and until Collateral Agent
93
shall have received such directions, Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Secured Parties except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.4.Β Β Β Β Rights as a Lender.Β Β Β Β With respect to the Loan made by it, Collateral Agent in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. Collateral Agent and its affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any of their Affiliates as if it were not acting as Collateral Agent, and Collateral Agent and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower or such Affiliate for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.5.Β Β Β Β Indemnification.Β Β Β Β The Lenders agree to indemnify Collateral Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents) ratably in accordance with their respective interests in the Loan, for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Collateral Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the Transaction (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under the Loan Documents, but excluding, unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the party to be indemnified.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.6.Β Β Β Β Non-Reliance on Collateral Agent and Other Lenders.Β Β Β Β Each Secured Party agrees and acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its own decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document. Collateral Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to inspect the properties or books of Borrower or any of their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Secured Parties by Collateral Agent hereunder, Collateral Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Secured Party with any credit or other information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of Borrower or any of their Affiliates that may come into the possession of Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.7.Β Β Β Β Failure to Act.Β Β Β Β Except for action expressly required of Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under SectionΒ 10.5 hereof against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
94
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.8.Β Β Β Β Resignation of Collateral Agent.Β Β Β Β Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, Collateral Agent may resign upon giving notice thereof to the Secured Parties; provided, however, that such resignation shall not be effective until such time as the successor Collateral Agent is in place and shall deliver written notice of such appointment to Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed by the Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30Β days after the retiring Collateral Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Collateral Agent, that shall be a sophisticated financial institution. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this ArticleΒ 10 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Collateral Agent.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.9.Β Β Β Β Agency Fee.Β Β Β Β Each Lender will pay to Collateral Agent an agency fee as may be agreed upon between such Lender and Collateral Agent. Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of such fee.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.10.Β Β Β Β Consents under Loan Documents.Β Β Β Β Collateral Agent may consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents (other than the Hedge Agreement), provided that, without the prior consent of each Lender, Collateral Agent shall not release any Collateral or otherwise terminate any Lien under any Loan Document providing for collateral security, or agree to additional obligations being secured by such collateral security (unless the Lien for such additional obligations shall be junior to the Lien in favor of the Indebtedness), except that no such consent shall be required, and Collateral Agent is hereby authorized, to release any Lien covering Collateral that is the subject of a disposition permitted hereunder.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β SectionΒ 10.11.Β Β Β Β Notices, Reports and Other Communications.Β Β Β Β Collateral Agent shall provide, at its expense, copies of each notice, report, document, correspondence or other written communication delivered to Collateral Agent by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower pursuant to any Loan Document, to each Secured Party identified in such notice, report, document, correspondence or other written communication or reasonably determined by Collateral Agent to be entitled thereto or affected thereby, as soon as practicable after Collateral Agent's receipt thereof.
