GENERAL
LOAN TERMS
Section
2.1 The
Loan
17
.
Lender
is making a loan (the “Loan”)
to
Borrower on the date hereof, in the original principal amount (the “Principal”)
of
$121,200,000.00 which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Borrower
acknowledges receipt of the Loan, the proceeds of which are being and shall
be
used to (i) return capital to direct and indirect owners of Borrower used to
acquire the Property, (ii) fund certain of the Subaccounts, and
(iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful
purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.
Section
2.2 Interest;
Monthly Payments
.
2.2.1 Generally.
From
and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at
the
Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date hereof,
Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof through
and including May 5, 2006. On June 6, 2006 and each Payment Date thereafter
through and including the Maturity Date, the interest on the Principal at the
Interest Rate shall be payable in monthly installments (each such installment,
the “Monthly
Debt Service Payment Amount”).
The
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall be applied
to
the payment of interest accrued during the preceding Interest Period. All
accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
If
the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior
to or
after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would
have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment
Date.
2.2.2 Default
Rate.
After
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire
unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable,
to
the extent permitted by applicable law, within ten (10) days after the date
Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.2.3 Taxes.
Any and
all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall
be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities
with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise
and other similar taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any
Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred
to
in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable
Taxes”).
If
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply:
(i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional
sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to
the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower
shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made
within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred to a transferee which
is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States
of
America or any state thereof, the transferor shall cause such transferee,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to
18
furnish
to the transferor and Borrower either a United States Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8BEN, United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (wherein such transferee claims entitlement
to complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all interest
payments hereunder); provided, however, that in the event that the transferor
fails to cause the transferee to furnish either such Form, Borrower shall deduct
any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by law and payments shall be made
net of any Applicable Taxes without regard to the provisions of clause (i)
of the second sentence of this Section 2.2.3.
2.2.4 New
Payment Date.
Lender
shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of
the
Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date later than the sixth day of each
month (a “New
Payment Date”),
on 30
days’ written notice to Borrower; provided,
however,
that
any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of
regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and interest payments, except
that the first payment of principal (if any) and interest payable on the New
Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein
provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New
Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii) shall extend
the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set
forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.
Section
2.3 Loan
Repayment
.
2.3.1 Repayment.
Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in
full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding)
the
date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents.
Borrower shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the
Principal except in accordance with Section 2.3.2, Section 2.3.3 and Section
2.4
below. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of
any
repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender
as
follows in the following order of priority: First,
accrued
and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; second,
to
Principal; and third,
to and
any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If prior to
the
Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default,
then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal
and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount
equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal so
accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of
repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through
foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise
provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner
as
Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.
2.3.2 Mandatory
Prepayments.
The
Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty
or Condemnation (each, a “Casualty/Condemnation
Prepayment”),
in
the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2. Each
Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the
settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the
same
manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1, and
19
if
such
Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date,
then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would have
accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date.
Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment
under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance
Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each
Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity
and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments
due
under the Note or this Agreement.
2.3.3 Defeasance
(a) Conditions
to Defeasance.
Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower shall have the right
on any Payment Date after the Lockout Release Date
and
prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the
entire amount of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage
and a release of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s obligations under the other Loan
Documents (other than (i) those obligations which are expressly stated to
survive the payment in full of the Loan and (ii) the Security Agreement) by
providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance
Event”),
subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(1) Borrower
shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice
specifying a Payment Date (the “Defeasance
Date”)
on
which the Defeasance Event is expected to occur.
(2) Borrower
shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of interest due on the Loan to and
including the Defeasance Date and (B) all other sums then due under the Note,
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(3) Borrower
shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account
and otherwise comply with the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this
Section 2.3.3;
(4) Borrower
shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the
Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral;
(5) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard
in
commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications,
assumptions and exceptions opining to the effect that, among other things,
that
(i) Lender has a legal and valid perfected security interest in the
Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) if a
securitization has occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such
securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage
investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code solely
as a result of a Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.3.3,
(iii) the Defeasance Event will not result in a significant modification
and will not be an exchange of the Note for purposes of Section 1001 of the
Code
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iv) delivery of the Defeasance
Collateral and the grant of a security interest therein to Lender shall not
constitute an avoidable preference under
20
Section 547
of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law and (v) a non-consolidation
opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower (if any);
(6) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender and the Rating Agencies a Rating Comfort Letter as
to
the Defeasance Event;
(7) Borrower
shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set
forth in this Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied;
(8) Borrower
shall deliver an agreed upon procedures letter from a “big four” or other
nationally recognized public accounting firm that would be acceptable to a
prudent lender (or any other accounting firm that is reputable and experienced
in preparing such procedure letters and reports and would be reasonably
acceptable to a prudent lender) verifying that the Defeasance Collateral will
generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance
Payments, (ii) the revenue from the Defeasance Collateral will be applied within
four months of receipt towards payments of Debt Service, (iii) the securities
that comprise the Defeasance Collateral are not subject to prepayment, call
or
early redemption and (iv) the interest income to Borrower (or the Successor
Borrower, if applicable) from the Defeasance Collateral will not in any tax
year
materially exceed the interest expense associated with the defeased
Loan;
(9) Borrower
shall deliver such other certificates, opinions, documents and instruments
as a
prudent lender may reasonably request; and
(10) Borrower
shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the
Defeasance Event, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and
Rating Agency fees and expenses.
(b) Defeasance
Collateral Account.
On
or
before the date on which Borrower delivers the Defeasance Collateral, Borrower
shall open at any Eligible Institution the defeasance
collateral account (the “Defeasance
Collateral Account”)
which
shall at all times be an Eligible Account. The Defeasance Collateral Account
shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and
principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and
principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to
Lender on each Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest
and
then to
Principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance
Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or Principal shall
be
retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for
the
Loan. Borrower shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance
Collateral is deposited to enter an agreement with Borrower and Lender,
satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible
Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Defeasance Collateral in
accordance with this Agreement. The Borrower or the Successor Borrower shall
be
the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income
accrued on Defeasance Collateral for federal, state and local income tax
purposes in its income tax return to the extent required by law. Borrower shall
pay all costs and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the
Defeasance Collateral Account. Neither Borrower (provided that a Successor
Borrower has assumed the Loan) nor Lender shall in any way be liable by reason
of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.
21
(c) Successor
Borrower.
In
connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.3.3, Borrower
shall, if required by the Rating Agencies or if Borrower elects to do so,
establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor
Borrower”)
which
shall be a Single Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity and which shall be approved
by the Rating Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower may, at Borrower’s option,
be an Affiliate of Borrower unless the Rating Agencies shall require otherwise.
Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and
duties under
and
to the Note, together with the Defeasance Collateral
to such
Successor Borrower. Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under
the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its
obligations under the Debt and the Loan Documents (other than those obligations
which are expressly stated to survive the payment in full of the Loan). Borrower
shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration
for assuming
the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement
(unless such requirement shall be waived by the applicable Rating Agencies).
Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses
incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in
connection therewith.
2.3.4 Optional
Prepayments.
From
and after the third Payment Date prior to the Stated Maturity Date (the
“Permitted
Prepayment Date”),
Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Principal in whole but not in part,
provided that Borrower gives Lender at least 15 days’ prior written notice
thereof. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall
also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but
not
including, the next Payment Date. Any such prepayment shall be made without
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.3.5 Prepayments
After Default.
If
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment
of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a
purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an
attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section
2.3.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay
the
Yield Maintenance Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal balance,
all
accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents.
Section
2.4 Release
of Property
.
2.4.1 Release
on Defeasance.
If
Borrower has elected to defease the Note and the requirements of Section 2.3.3
and this Section 2.4 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released
from the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance
Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source
of collateral securing the Note. In connection with the release of the Lien,
Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole
discretion), release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by
Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in
which
the Property is located. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other
documentation as a prudent lender would reasonably require 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
22
Requirements,
and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with
the
release of the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, including
Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.
2.4.2 Release
on Payment in Full.
Lender
shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment
in
full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower,
assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and
without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents
if not theretofore released.
Section
2.5 Payments
and Computations
.
2.5.1 Making
of Payments.
Each
payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing
House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender
by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender
by
deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower.
Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter.
All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction,
set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation
and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection
or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.
2.5.2 Computations.
Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of
the
actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.
2.5.3 Late
Payment Charge.
If any
Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document is not paid by
Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender (within
ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor) an amount
equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted
by
applicable law (the “Late
Payment Charge”),
in
order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such
delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan
Documents.
ARTICLE
3
CASH
MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES
Section
3.1 Cash
Management Arrangements
.
Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by non-residential
tenants of the Property into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing
Account”)
maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower, which shall at
all
times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing
Bank”)
as
more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way
limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be
deposited into the Clearing Account within one Business Day of receipt. Funds
deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on
a
daily basis into the Borrower’s operating
23
account
at the Clearing Bank, unless a Cash Management Period is continuing, in which
event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at
the
Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit
Account”)
and
applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. Funds in the Deposit
Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments.
Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at
all
times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not
actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”).
The
Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion
of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower
shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above
accounts.
Section
3.2 Intentionally
Omitted
.
Section
3.3 Taxes
and Insurance
.
Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the
Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve
(12)
months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such
Taxes
at least thirty (30) days prior to their Delinquency Date, and
(ii) (1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium
Financing Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date,
the Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the applicable
Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (2) with respect to
any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing
Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that
Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by
the
Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (i) and (ii) above
hereinafter called the “Tax
and Insurance Impound Fund”).
Such
amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax
and Insurance Subaccount”).
Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund to payments of Taxes and
Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.2
and
7.1 hereof and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the
applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable.
In
making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund, Lender may
do
so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate
public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to
Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement
or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture,
tax
lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Impound
Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant
to
Sections 5.2 and 7.1 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any
excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made
to
the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal
with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.
If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Impound Fund is
not
or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in (i) and (ii) above,
Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase
its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient
to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of
the
Taxes
24
and/or
expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All earnings of interest on
the
Tax and Insurance Impound Fund shall become part of the Tax and Insurance
Impound Fund and shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 3.3. If
Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a
tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable
to
Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the
cost of making annual tax searches throughout the Term.
Section
3.4 Capital
Expense Reserves
.
On the
date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender $5,000,000. Lender will transfer
such amount into a Subaccount (the “Capital
Reserve Subaccount”).
In
addition to the foregoing, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date
an
amount initially equal to $9,145 (one-twelfth (1/12th)
of the
product obtained by multiplying $0.25 by the aggregate number of rentable square
feet of space in the Property) for deposit into the Capital Reserve Subaccount;
provided,
however,
Borrower shall only be obligated to make such monthly payment on any Payment
Date on which the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Capital Reserve
Subaccount is below $500,000. Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice
to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment required
under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable discretion
(based upon its then current underwriting standards). Provided that no Event
of
Default is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve
Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower
to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in
increments of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an
Approved Capital Expense; (ii) with respect to disbursements in excess of
$100,000, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted
at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved
Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by
(A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be
used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a
description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than
those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted
Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been
the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous
disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital
Expenses, and (B) lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to
Lender, (C) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that
the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not

reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses at the Property to be
funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or
will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Any such disbursement of more
than $100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may,
at
Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee on
such Approved Capital Expenses.
Section
3.5 Rollover
Reserve
.
Borrower
shall pay to Lender $4,400,000 on the date hereof (the “Initial
Rollover Deposit”),
and
Lender shall transfer such funds into a Subaccount (the “Rollover
Reserve Subaccount”).
Additionally, on each Payment Date commencing on the earlier to occur of (x)
May
6, 2009 or (y) the first Payment Date following the date that the funds
constituting the Initial Rollover
25
Deposit
have been reduced to $1,000,000, Borrower shall pay to Lender (for deposit
into
the Rollover Reserve Subaccount) $45,725 (one-twelfth (1/12th)
of the
product obtained by multiplying $1.25 by the aggregate number of rentable square
feet of space in the Property); provided,
however,
Borrower shall only be obligated to make such monthly payment on any Payment
Date on which the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Rollover Reserve
Subaccount (excluding any Lease Termination Payments) is below $2,500,000.
Borrower shall also pay to Lender (for deposit into the Rollover Reserve
Subaccount) all Lease Termination Payments received by Borrower with respect
to
Material Leases; provided,
however,
once
Borrower has provided to Lender evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that
the space under the Lease that was the subject of such Lease Termination Payment
has been re-tenanted and all Approved Leasing Expenses in connection with such
space have been paid, Lender shall (provided no Event of Default is then
continuing) disburse to Borrower any remaining portion of the subject Lease
Termination Payment.
Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall
disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within
fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor
(but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000,
provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Leasing Expense;
(ii) with respect to disbursements in excess of $100,000, Lender shall have
(if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense)
performance of any construction work associated with such an Approved Leasing
Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by
(A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be
used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) an Approved Leasing Expense, and
a
description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than
those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted
Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the
subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements
have been used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified
Approved Leasing Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting
documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor. Any such
disbursement of more than $100,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved
Leasing Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to
Borrower and the payee of such Approved Leasing Expenses.
Section
3.6 Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount
.
Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due
to
any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the
“Casualty/Condemnation

in
accordance with the provisions of Article 7. All amounts in the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall be disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of Article 7.
Section
3.7 Security
Deposits
.
Borrower shall keep all security deposits actually paid to Borrower under Leases
at a separately designated account under Borrower’s control at the Clearing Bank
(and in the case of a letter of credit received after the date hereof, assigned
with full power of attorney and executed sight drafts to Lender) so that the
security deposits shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower
(such
account, the “Security
Deposit Account”).
After
the occurrence of an Event of Default which is continuing, Borrower shall,
upon
Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable
26
Legal
Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest
theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount
(the “Security
Deposit Subaccount”)
subject to the terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security
Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together
with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit
is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or
may
be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable
Lease. Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu
of a cash security deposit under any Lease entered into after the date hereof
shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount
required by the applicable Lease unless replaced by a cash deposit as
hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal
Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s
option, be fully assignable to Lender).
Section
3.8 Cash
Collateral/DSCR
Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral
.
3.8.1 Cash
Collateral Subaccount
.
If a
Cash Management Period shall have commenced, then on the immediately succeeding
Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of
such
Cash Management Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which
amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash
Collateral Subaccount”)
as cash
collateral for the Debt. Any funds in the Cash Collateral Account and not
previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the
termination of such Cash Management Period. Lender shall have the right, but
not
the obligation, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default,
in
its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash
Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender
shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a prepayment
of Principal (together which the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable
thereto). Additionally, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation,
at
any time subsequent to the second Calculation Date following the commencement
of
a DSCR Cash Management Period (whether or not an Event of Default is then
continuing), in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on
deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount towards a partial Defeasance of the
Loan (together with any Defeasance costs associated therewith), and Borrower
shall execute such documents and take such other actions necessary to satisfy
the Defeasance requirements set forth in Section 2.3.3 hereof (to the extent
applicable to a partial involuntary Defeasance).
3.8.2 DSCR
Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral
.
(a) All
DSCR
Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral received by Lender from Borrower
in
accordance with the definition of “Cash Management Period” shall be held as
collateral and additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall
have
the right, at its option, to draw on all
27
or
any
portion of the DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral and to apply
such amount drawn to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority
as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject
to
the Yield Maintenance Premium, if applicable. Borrower shall not be entitled
to
draw upon any such DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral. However,
if, as of any Calculation Date, the aggregate outstanding face amount of the
DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral received by Lender from
Borrower in accordance with the definition of “Cash Management Period” is in an
amount which is at least $350,000.00 greater than the amount necessary to (i)
prevent the triggering of a DSCR Cash Management Period or (ii) end any
then-continuing DSCR Cash Management Period, then, provided no Default or Event
of Default then exists, Borrower may, at its option, reduce (or replace) the
DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral with DSCR Cash Management
Letter of Credit Collateral which, when utilized in the calculation of the
Debt
Service component of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, is in an amount equal
to a
portion of the then-outstanding Principal such that the Minimum DSCR Threshold
would be maintained on the Loan after reduction of Principal in an amount equal
to the aggregate outstanding face amount of the reduced (or replaced) DSCR
Cash
Management Letter of Credit Collateral.
(b) In
addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon DSCR Cash Management
Letter of Credit Collateral pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section
3.8.2(a)
above,
Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit
constituting DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral: (i) with
respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice
from
the issuing bank that the applicable Letter of Credit will not be renewed and
a
substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior
to
the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire;
(ii)
with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender
has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter
of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter
of
Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided
at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter
of
Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing
bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination
of
such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this
Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided) or (iv) if Lender has
received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be
an
Approved Bank and Borrower shall not have replaced such Letter of Credit with
a
Letter of Credit issued by an Approved Bank within twenty (20) days after notice
thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender
is not obligated to draw any DSCR Cash Management Letter of Credit Collateral
upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above
and
shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency
of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the applicable
Letter of Credit.
Section
3.9 Grant
of Security Interest; Application of Funds
.
As
security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other
terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges
and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all
Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Clearing Account, the Deposit
Account and all Subaccounts, all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies
held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, and all Subaccounts
28
created
pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash
Management Accounts”).
Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees
to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior
to
the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents
into the Deposit Account until such Rents are released to Borrower from the
Clearing Account pursuant to this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.
Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender,
further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management
Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon,
or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured
party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things,
intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.
Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may
apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner
as
Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a
receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose
the
Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents.
Cash
Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled
with
other monies held by Lender. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is
continuing, at the direction of Borrower, Lender shall deposit the amounts
held
in the Cash Management Accounts in Permitted Investments selected by Borrower.
All investment earnings which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management
Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to
Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the
same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Lender
shall not be responsible for any losses resulting from the investment of the
Funds or for obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on such
investment. Upon repayment in full of the Debt or defeasance of the Loan, all
remaining funds in the Cash Management Accounts, if any, shall be promptly
disbursed to Borrower.
Section
3.10 Property
Cash Flow Allocation
.
(a) During
any Cash Management Period, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during
the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment
Date
as follows in the following order of priority: (i) First,
to make
payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3;
(ii) Second,
to pay
the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with
the Cash Management Agreement; (iii) Third,
to
Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date
(plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other
than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.10(a), then due
to
Lender under the Loan Documents); (iv) Fourth,
to make
payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.4;
(v) Fifth,
to make
payments into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount if and as required under
Section 3.5.1; (vi) Sixth,
to
Borrower the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Budget for the following
month as being necessary for payment of Approved Operating Expenses at the
Property for such month, plus the amount for Budgeted Variances (as defined
in
the Cash Management Agreement); (vii) Seventh,
after
the consummation of a Securitization, to pay the pro rata portion of the
expenses described in Section 9.1.4; and (viii) Lastly,
to make
payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment
Date
into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.8.
29
(b) The
failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i)
through (viii) of Section 3.10(a) in full on each Payment Date shall constitute
an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided,
however,
if
adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the
failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate
Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.10, after the occurrence
and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents
deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in such
order
and in such manner as Lender shall elect.

4
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES

represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the
extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 with reference to a specific Section
of
this Article 4:
Section
4.1 Organization;
Special Purpose
.
Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power and
authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental
or
otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in
which
it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in
connection with its properties, business and operations. Borrower is a Special
Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
Section
4.2 Authorization;
Valid Execution and Delivery; Enforceability
.
Borrower has taken all necessary actions for the authorization of the borrowing
on account of the Loan and for the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, that those members of Borrower whose approval
is
required by the terms of Borrower’s organizational documents have duly approved
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and have authorized
execution and delivery thereof by the respective signatories. To the best of
Borrower’s knowledge, no other consent by any local, state or federal agency is
required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents.
All of the Loan Documents requiring execution by Borrower have been duly and
validly executed and delivered by Borrower. All of the Loan Documents constitute
valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower and are fully enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with their terms by Lender and its successors,
transferees and assigns, subject only to bankruptcy laws, and general principles
of equity, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, receivership
or
other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors. All
consents, approvals, authorizations, orders or filings with any court or
governmental agency or body, if any, required for the execution, delivery and
performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower have been obtained or
made.
Section
4.3 No
Conflict/Violation of Law
30
.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower will
not
cause or constitute a default under or conflict with the organizational
documents of Borrower, any Guarantor or any general partner or managing member
of Borrower or any Guarantor. The execution, delivery and performance of the
obligations imposed on Borrower under the Loan Documents will not cause Borrower
to be in default, including after due notice or lapse of time or both, under
the
provisions of any agreement, judgment or order to which Borrower is a party
or
by which Borrower is bound.
Section
4.4 No
Litigation
.
Except
as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 2, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge there
are no pending actions, suits or proceedings, arbitrations or governmental
investigations against the Property, an adverse outcome of which would
materially affect Borrower’s performance under the Note, this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents.
Section
4.5 No
Defenses
.
The
Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents are not subject
to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, nor would the
operation of any of the terms of the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or
any
of the other Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render
this Agreement or the Mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject
to
any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense
of usury.
Section
4.6 Title
.
Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property constituting
real property (other than the beneficial interests), and good title to the
Equipment, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted
Encumbrances and liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted
by
the Loan Documents. The possession of the Property has been peaceful and
undisturbed and title thereto has not been disputed or questioned to the best
of
Borrower’s knowledge. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially
and adversely affect (1) the ability of Borrower to pay in full the
principal and interest on the Note in a timely manner or (2) the use of the
Property for the use currently being made thereof, the operation of the Property
as currently being operated or the value of the Property. Upon the execution
by
Borrower and the recording of the Mortgage, and upon the filing of UCC-1
financing statements or amendments thereto, the Lender will have a valid first
lien on the Property and a valid security interest in the Equipment subject
to
no liens, charges or encumbrances other than the Permitted Encumbrances and
liens, charges or encumbrances otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan
Documents.
Section
4.7 No
Insolvency or Judgment; No Bankruptcy Filing
.
Neither
Borrower, nor any general partner or member of Borrower, nor any Guarantor
of
the Loan is currently (a) the subject of or a party to any completed or
pending bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or (b) the subject
of any judgment unsatisfied of record or docketed in any court of the state
in
which the Property is located or in any other court located in the United
States. The Loan will not render Borrower nor any general partner or member
of
31
Borrower
insolvent. As used herein, the term “insolvent”
means
that the sum total of all of an entity’s liabilities (whether secured or
unsecured, contingent or fixed, or liquidated or unliquidated) is in excess
of
the value of all such entity’s non-exempt assets, i.e., all of the assets of the
entity that are available to satisfy claims of creditors. Borrower is not
contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of
its
property (a “Bankruptcy
Proceeding”),
and
Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such
petition against it. In addition, except as described on Schedule
2
attached
hereto, neither Borrower nor any principal nor Affiliate of Borrower has been
a
party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten
years.
Section
4.8 Misstatements
of Fact
.
No
statement of fact made in the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement
of a
material fact or omits to state any material fact known to Borrower or its
Affiliates necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower which has not been
disclosed which materially adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can
reasonably foresee, might materially adversely affect the business, operations
or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
Section
4.9 Tax
Filings
.
To the
extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for
filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and,
except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in writing, has paid or made adequate
provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and
assessments payable by Borrower pursuant to such returns or any notice of
assessment received by Borrower. Borrower believes that its tax returns (if
any)
properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered
thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue
Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit. Borrower does not have
any
knowledge of any basis for additional assessment with respect to such taxes
other than a possible reassessment of the Property for real estate tax purposes
resulting from transactions occurring in connection with the acquisition of
the
Property on or prior to the date hereof.
Section
4.10 ERISA
.
As of
the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not be
an
“employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of
ERISA,
which is subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower
constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R.
Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a
“governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and
(iv) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not
be
subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations
with respect to, governmental plans.
As of
the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of the “controlled group of
corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) that includes
Borrower maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within
the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within
the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).

Section
4.11 Compliance
with Applicable Laws and Regulations
.
To the
Borrower’s knowledge, except as set forth in the engineering reports obtained
and submitted to Lender in connection with the Loan, all of the Improvements
and
the use of the Property comply in all material respects with, and shall remain
in compliance in all material respects with, all applicable statutes, rules,
regulations and private covenants now or hereafter relating to the ownership,
construction, use or operation of the Property, including all applicable
Prescribed Laws and all applicable statutes, rules and regulations pertaining
to
requirements for equal opportunity, anti-discrimination, fair housing,
environmental protection, zoning and land use and the Improvements comply in
all
material respects with, and shall remain in compliance in all material respects
with, applicable health, fire and building codes. Borrower is not aware of
any
illegal activities relating to controlled substances on the Property. To
Borrower’s knowledge, all certifications, permits, licenses and approvals,
including, without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits
required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property as an office
building (collectively, the “Licenses”),
have
been obtained and are in full force and effect. To the Borrower’s knowledge, all
of the Improvements comply with all material requirements of any applicable
zoning and subdivision laws and ordinances. To Borrower’s knowledge, in the
event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said
Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such
damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating
any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity
of
obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending
or,
to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the
Property. To the Borrower’s knowledge, neither the zoning nor any other right to
construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related
to any property other than the Property. The use being made of the Property
is
in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and,
to
the Borrower’s knowledge, all other restrictions, covenants and conditions
affecting the Property.
Section
4.12 Contracts
.
Except
as set forth on Schedule 2, to the Borrower’s knowledge there are no service,
maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable
on one month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium. All
service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property entered into
by
the Borrower have been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of
Borrower’s business and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon
terms comparable to existing market rates.
Section
4.13 Federal
Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act
.
No part
of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or
acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would
be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan
Document. Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary
company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company”
or a “subsidiary company”
33
within
the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended;
or
(iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which
purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
Section
4.14 Access/Utilities
.
To
Borrower’s best knowledge, the Property has adequate rights of access to public
ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain
facilities. Other than as disclosed on the Survey (as hereinafter defined),
all
public utilities necessary to the continued use and enjoyment of the Property
as
presently used and enjoyed are located in the public right-of-way abutting
the
Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property
without passing over other property. All roads necessary for the full
utilization of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and
dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or are
the
subject of access easements for the benefit of the Property.
Section
4.15 Condition
of Improvements
.
To the
Borrower’s knowledge, except as may be expressly disclosed in the engineering
reports obtained and submitted to Lender, the Property, including all
Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in
good condition, order and repair in all material respects; and there exists
no
structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent
or otherwise. Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or
bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part
thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition
of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy
of
insurance or bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as
identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special
flood hazards. The Property has not been damaged by fire, water, wind or other
cause of loss which has not been fully restored in all material
respects.
Section
4.16 Leases
.
To
Borrower’s best knowledge the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 together
with the schedules and the exhibits attached to such rent roll (collectively,
the “Rent
Roll”)
is
true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other
than the Leases described in the Rent Roll and any existing subleases
thereunder. To Borrower’s best knowledge no Person has any possessory interest

provisions of the Leases (and any existing subleases thereunder). As of the
date
hereof (i) Borrower is the owner and holder of the landlord’s interest
under each Lease; (ii) there are no prior assignments of the landlord’s
interest by Borrower (and to Borrower’s knowledge any prior landlord) in any

over the Assignment of Leases and Rents (the “Assignment
of Leases and Rents”),
dated
the date hereof, given by Borrower to Lender and intended to be duly recorded;
(iii) true and correct copies of the Leases have been delivered by Borrower

Section
4.17 Fraudulent
Transfer
.
Borrower (1) has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the
actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor and (2) received
reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan
Documents. Giving effect to the Loan contemplated by the Loan Documents, the
fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceed and will, immediately following
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total
liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed
or contingent liabilities. The fair market value of Borrower’s assets is and
will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents,
be
greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of
its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and
matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital
to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower
does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and
liabilities (including, without limitation, contingent liabilities and other
commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into
account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations
of
Borrower).

cost of which is reasonably anticipated to exceed $3,500,000 (the “Threshold
Amount”)
or
that will have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the
use, operation or value of the Property or the Net Operating Income with respect
to the Property, other than (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant
to the terms of any Existing Lease, (b) tenant improvement work performed
pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease executed after the date hereof
and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any
utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any

Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement (“Excluded

applicable laws from an independent architect, engineer, or other Person
reasonably acceptable to Lender. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable

be
paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or paid from accounts established

amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to
alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or
reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or from accounts established hereunder

to
the satisfaction of Lender in its reasonable discretion Lender shall promptly
return to Borrower such additional security.

and/or if Borrower shall become aware of any condition on the Property which

a
licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified
consultant engaged by Lender (“Lender’s
Consultant”)
provided that such removal, remediation or cure is reasonably necessary to
eliminate imminent danger to the health, safety or welfare of humans and would
customarily be performed by prudent owners of properties similar to the Property

Borrower’s sole expense, without prejudice to any rights Borrower may have
against any responsible parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section, Borrower, Manager and/or tenants on the Property may use and
store

or is in connection with the ordinary cleaning and maintenance of the Property
so long as such use and storage (A) does not violate any applicable
Environmental Laws and (B) is not the subject of any specific
recommendations in the Phase I Reports that would prohibit such use or storage.
Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any
other party that may be liable for such removal or cure. The obligations and
liabilities of Borrower under this Section 5.8.1 shall survive any termination,
satisfaction, or assignment of the Mortgage and the exercise by Lender of any
of
its rights or remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, the acquisition

in
the Property, nor permit to be installed in the Property, Asbestos and shall

at
Borrower’s sole expense. Borrower shall in all instances comply with, and ensure
compliance by all occupants of the Property with, all applicable federal, state
and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations with respect to Asbestos
and
shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens imposed pursuant to such
laws, ordinances, rules or regulations. In the event that Borrower receives

Property to be subject to any investigation or cleanup pursuant to any
Environmental Law. Upon becoming aware of the presence of mold or fungus at
the
Property, Borrower shall (a) undertake an investigation to identify the
source(s) of such mold or fungus and shall develop and implement an appropriate
remediation plan to eliminate the presence of any Toxic Mold, (b) perform or
cause to be performed all acts reasonably necessary for the remediation of
any
Toxic Mold (including taking any action necessary to clean and disinfect any
portions of the Property affected by Toxic Mold, including providing any
necessary moisture control systems at the Property), and (c) provide evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the foregoing. Borrower shall permit Lender
to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings
or
actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection with any actual
or
alleged violation of Environmental Law or the presence of Hazardous Substance
at
the Property, and Borrower shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith. Upon Lender’s request,
at any time and from time to time while the Loan is outstanding but not more
frequently than once per calendar year, unless Lender has determined (in the
exercise of its good faith judgment) that reasonable cause exists for the
performance of an environmental inspection or audit of the Property, Borrower
shall provide at Borrower’s sole expense, (i) an inspection or audit of the
Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist or licensed environmental
engineer approved by Lender indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous
Substances on, in or near the Property, and (ii) an inspection or audit of
the Property prepared by a duly qualified engineering or consulting firm
approved by Lender, indicating the presence or absence of Asbestos on the
Property; provided,
however,
any
such inspection or audit requested by Lender, during the Term, in excess of
one
(1) inspection during each three (3) year period commencing upon the date
hereof, shall be performed at Lender’s expense unless an Event of Default exists
or Lender has determined (in the exercise of its good faith judgment) that
reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection
or
audit. If Borrower fails to provide such inspection or audit within sixty (60)
days after such request Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to
Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to
undertake such inspection or audit upon reasonable prior notice to Borrower
and
in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with tenants or occupants
thereof. The cost of such inspection or audit obtained by Lender upon Borrower’s
failure to do so shall bear interest from the date such costs are incurred
by
Lender until paid at the Default Rate and shall be due and payable by Borrower
to Lender within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand
therefor, and if not so paid, may be added to the Debt. In the event that any
environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection
or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented
for
Asbestos or any Hazardous Substance, Borrower shall cause such operations and
maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at Borrower’s expense upon
request of Lender, and with respect to any Toxic
45
Mold,
Borrower shall take all action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions
of
the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including
providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property. In the event
that any investigation, site monitoring, containment cleanup, removal,
restoration, or other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an
applicable Environmental Law (the “Remedial
Work”),
Borrower shall promptly commence and thereafter diligently prosecute to
completion all such Remedial Work, provided that in any event Borrower shall
complete such Remedial Work within the time required by applicable Environmental
Law, and provided, further, that Borrower’s obligation to perform Remedial Work
shall be without prejudice to any rights Borrower may have against responsible
parties. All Remedial Work shall be performed by contractors approved in advance
by Lender, and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by
Lender. All costs and expenses of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower
including, without limitation, Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements incurred in connection with monitoring or review of such Remedial
Work. Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from
any other party that may be liable for such Remedial Work. In the event Borrower
shall fail to timely commence, or cause to be commenced, or fail to diligently
prosecute to completion, such Remedial Work, Lender may, but shall not be
required to, cause such Remedial Work to be performed, and all costs and
expenses thereof, or incurred in connection therewith, shall bear interest
from
the date such costs are incurred by Lender until paid at the Default Rate and
shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the
date Lender makes written demand therefor, and if not so paid, may be added
to
the Debt.

termination rights (i) set forth in Leases executed prior to, or on, the

its
terms, (iv) cancel, terminate, abridge or otherwise modify any guaranty of
any Material Lease or the terms thereof, (v) accept prepayments of

If Lender fails to respond to a request for consent under this Section 5.10.2
within ten (10) Business Days of receipt thereof, such consent shall be deemed
granted, provided that such request shall have been accompanied by all
information requested by Lender or reasonably necessary for Lender to evaluate
such request and shall have clearly stated, in 14 point type or greater, that
if
Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender’s
consent shall be deemed to have been granted. In the event that Lender refuses
to grant any such consent, Lender shall specify in writing the reasons for
such
refusal. In addition, Borrower shall not (A) lease all or any part of the
Property, (B) cancel, terminate (other than as a result of a tenant default
thereunder), abridge or otherwise modify the terms of any Lease in any material
respect, or accept a surrender thereof, (C) consent to any assignment of or
subletting under any Lease not in accordance with its terms or (D) cancel,
terminate, abridge or otherwise modify in any material respect any guaranty

a
Taxable REIT Subsidiary.

(3)
years or greater than ten (10) years, (c) shall provide for automatic
self-operative subordination to the Mortgage and, at Lender’s option, (x)
attornment to Lender and (y) the unilateral right by Lender, at the option
of
Lender, to subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage to the Lease, and (d) shall
not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase,
any
right to terminate (except in the event of the destruction or condemnation
of
substantially all of the Property), any requirement for a non-disturbance or
recognition agreement, or any other provision which might adversely affect
the
rights of Lender under the Loan Documents in any material respect. Borrower
shall deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant
to
the preceding sentence together with Borrower’s certification that it has
satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding sentence within ten (10) days
after the
47
execution
of the Lease. With respect to any Lease or proposed renewal, extension or
modification of an existing Lease that requires Lender’s consent under this
Section 5.10.3, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if
Borrower provides Lender with a written request for approval (which written
request shall specifically refer to this Section 5.10.3 and shall
explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove within ten
(10)
Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender fails to reject
the
request in writing delivered to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt by Lender of the request, the proposed Lease or proposed renewal,
extension or modification of an existing Lease shall be deemed approved by
Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such proposed Lease or
proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease.

lessor, grantor or licensor, as applicable, under the Leases and shall not

the
Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default
which Borrower shall send or receive thereunder; (iii) shall enforce all
the material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the
part of the lessee, grantee or licensee, as applicable, thereunder to be
observed or performed, short of termination thereof (unless by reason of default
thereunder); (iv) shall not collect any of the Rents (other than estimated
payments of taxes and reimbursable expenses paid by tenants pursuant to their
Leases) more than one (1) month in advance; (v) shall not execute any other
assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents except in
connection with a Transfer and Assumption; (vi) shall, upon request of
Lender, request and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver

(2)
times in any calendar year; and (vii) shall execute and deliver at the
request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments
in
connection with the Property as Lender shall from time to time reasonably
require.

security deposits of tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, if cash,
shall be deposited by Borrower at such commercial or savings bank or banks
and
shall be held in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, as may be
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower
is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable
legal requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full
amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove
described, shall (if issued after the date hereof) be fully assignable to Lender
and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable legal requirements and
otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall, upon request,
provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s
compliance with the foregoing. Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if
permitted by any applicable legal requirements, turn over to Lender the security

unless the prior written consent of Lender is first obtained, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Borrower shall

agreement in form satisfactory to Lender (the “Subordination

After the date hereof, Borrower shall not enter into any agreement relating
to
the management of the Property with any party without the express written
consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld to the
extent that such manager is an affiliate of Borrower); provided,
however,
with
respect to a new manager of the Property (but not a leasing agent or
subcontractor appointed in accordance with the Management Agreement) such
consent may also be conditioned upon Borrower delivering (i) a Rating
Comfort Letter with respect to such new manager and management agreement (other
than a Qualified Manager that is Controlled (in the sense of clause (ii) of
the
defined term “Control”) by the REIT), and (ii) evidence satisfactory to
Lender (which shall include, at the request of Lender, a legal non-consolidation
opinion acceptable to Lender) that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy
remoteness of Borrower, its shareholders, partners or members, as the case
may
be, after the engagement of the new manager are in accordance with the
requirements of the Rating Agencies. If at any time Lender consents to the

condition of Lender’s consent, execute an assignment and subordination of such
management agreement in the form then used by Lender.

the occurrence of a default by Manager under the Management Agreement and its
continuance beyond any applicable notice or cure period. At such time as the
Manager
49
may
be
removed pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the
Loan
Documents, a replacement manager and management agreement acceptable to Lender
and the applicable Rating Agencies in their sole discretion shall assume
management of the Property and shall receive a property management fee not
to
exceed the then current market rates.

(a)(vi) above so long as Borrower has satisfied subsections (a)(i), (a)(ii)
and
(a)(v) above or (B) is to a Taxable REIT Subsidiary, then Borrower shall not
be
required to satisfy subsections (a)(iii) or (a)(v) (provided, that in any such

OP,
as applicable, and, in the case of each of (B), (C) and (D) above, after giving
effect to such merger or consolidation, the REIT shall continue to own not
less

Borrower and/or other indirect ownership interests in the Property to a
Qualified Transferee provided that the following conditions are

would
constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain
uncured;

Non-Recourse Guaranty (pursuant to documentation reasonably satisfactory to
Lender), and Lender accepts the Qualified Transferee as an acceptable
replacement guarantor (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), then
the OP and any other Guarantor shall be released from all liability under the
Non-Recourse Guaranty, and Lender shall execute and deliver to the OP such
documents as reasonably requested by the OP to evidence such release.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx

or
the Borrower, provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) no
Event

the
interests in Borrower (or any entity directly or indirectly holding an interest
in Borrower), owning in the aggregate (directly, indirectly or beneficially)
more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in Borrower (or any entity
directly or indirectly holding an interest in Borrower),

then
Borrower shall deliver a non-consolidation opinion acceptable to Lender and
the
Rating Agencies with respect to such entity which may be relied upon by Lender,
the Rating Agencies and their successors and assigns;
(iv) In
the
event that such restructuring requires a new non-consolidation opinion pursuant
to subsection (iii) above, Borrower shall give Lender notice of such
restructuring together with copies of all instruments effecting such
restructuring not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such
restructuring;
(v) In
the
event that such restructuring requires a new non-consolidation opinion pursuant

Borrower of their direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower or any
entity holding any direct or indirect interests in the Borrower to any
institutional lender (including investors in syndicated loan facilities or
the
agent for such investors) providing a corporate line of credit or other
financing to the REIT, the OP or any entity holding any direct or indirect
interests in the REIT or the OP or the Borrower, provided that the value of
the
Property which is indirectly pledged as collateral under such corporate line
of
credit or other financing constitutes no more than thirty-three percent (33%)
of
the total value of all assets directly or indirectly securing such line of
credit or other financing, and provided that the following conditions are met:
(i) no
Event
of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the passage of time
would
constitute an Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured or
unwaived; and
(ii) Lender
shall have received payment of, or reimbursement for, all costs and expenses
incurred by Lender in connection with such pledges (including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of the Rating
Agencies).
Lender
shall respond to any requests made by Borrower pursuant to this Section 5.26.5
in a prompt manner. In the event that Lender claims that Borrower has not
satisfied any of the requirements of this Section 5.26.5, Lender shall specify
in writing the reason why any conditions are deemed not satisfied.
Any
provisions of this Section 5.26.5 which require more conditions to be satisfied
in connection with any particular Permitted Transfer than other provisions
under
this Section 5.26.5 (relating to other Permitted Transfers) which require fewer
conditions to be satisfied shall not be deemed to be a limitation or
modification on the Transfer rights provided hereunder containing such fewer
conditions.
57
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any of the
Transfers or rights contained in this Section
5.26.5,
Lender
agrees that, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a
Transfer of an interest in Borrower shall not require the consent of Lender
and
no transfer fee shall be payable in connection therewith, provided that (i)
such
Transfer is of an interest in the OP or any direct or indirect owner of the
OP
that occurs by gift, devise or bequest or by operation of law upon the death
or
incapacity of a natural person that was the holder of such interest to a member
of the immediate family of such interest holder or a trust established for
the
benefit of such immediate family member, provided that (A) no such Transfer
shall result in a change of the day to day operations of the Property, (B)
Borrower shall give Lender notice of such Transfer together with copies of
all
instruments effecting such Transfer not more than ten (10) days after the date
of such Transfer, (C) such Transfer shall not cause a default by Borrower of
the
single purpose bankruptcy remote provisions set forth in Section
5.13
hereof,
(D) if any such Transfer would result in a change of Control of Borrower or

after any such Transfer, (a) deliver (or cause to be delivered) a substantive
non-consolidation opinion to Lender and the Rating Agencies with respect to
Borrower and the OP and such transferee in form and substance satisfactory
to
Lender and the Rating Agencies, and (b) reimburse Lender for all reasonable
expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer, (E) if any such
Transfer would result in a change of Control of Borrower or the OP and occurs
prior to the occurrence of a Secondary Market Transaction, such Transfer is
approved by Lender in writing within thirty (30) days after any such Transfer,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, (F) if any such Transfer
would result in a change of Control of Borrower or the OP and occurs after
the
occurrence of a Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower, at Borrower’s sole cost
and expense, shall, within thirty (30) days after any such Transfer, (a) deliver
(or cause to be delivered) a Rating Comfort Letter to Lender, and (b) obtain
the
prior written consent of Lender which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, or (ii) such Transfer is of a direct or indirect interest in the OP

transferor to (A) the immediate family members of such transferor or Key
Principal(s), including without limitation, the spouse, children or
grandchildren of such transferor (B) a trust established for the benefit of
the

Principal(s) shall continue to Control (in the sense of clause (ii) of the
defined term “Control”) Borrower, (b) Borrower shall give Lender notice of
such Transfer together with copies of all instruments effecting such Transfer
not more than ten (10) days after the date of such Transfer and (c) such
Transfer shall not cause a default by Borrower of the single purpose bankruptcy
remote provisions set forth in Section 5.13
hereof.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, none of the foregoing Transfers shall be deemed a “Permitted
Transfer” hereunder if, as a result of any of the foregoing Transfers, the
Guarantor no longer owns any direct or indirect interests in Borrower, unless,
upon Lender’s request, one or more creditworthy Persons or entities reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, that then Controls Borrower or owns a material direct
or
indirect interest in Borrower, shall execute and deliver a guaranty of recourse
obligations (in the same form as the guaranty of recourse obligations delivered
to Lender by Guarantor on the date hereof, or in such other form as may be
acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and otherwise
reasonably satisfactory to Lender, pursuant to which the replacement
guarantor(s) agrees to be liable under such guaranty of recourse obligations
from and after the date executed (whereupon (i) the previous guarantor
shall be
58
released
solely with respect to obligations arising and accruing from and after the
date
of such Transfer and (ii) such replacement guarantor(s) shall become liable
for all obligations arising or accruing from and after the date of such Transfer
and (iii) from and after the date of such Transfer, such replacement
guarantor(s) shall be the “Guarantor” for all purposes set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents (it being agreed and understood that
the
previous guarantor shall remain the “Guarantor” with respect to any and all
obligations accruing prior to the date of such Transfer)).

Affiliates;
(iv) If
the
Loan, by itself or together with other loans, has been the subject of a

a
Transferee Borrower that is a Permitted REIT Transferee;

securities that would be issued in connection with such securitization will
be
diminished, qualified, or withheld by reason of the Transfer and Assumption;

in
connection with a Transfer and Assumption to a Transferee Borrower that is

consents to the Transfer and Assumption, the Transferee Borrower and/or Borrower
as the case may be, shall immediately deliver the following to Lender
concurrently with the consummation of such Transfer and Assumption:
(i) Borrower
shall deliver to Lender an assumption fee in the amount of (x) with respect
to
the first Transfer and Assumption, 0.25% of the then unpaid Principal and (ii)
with respect to any subsequent Transfer and Assumption, 0.50% of the then unpaid
Principal, less any review fees, costs and expenses previously paid by Borrower
pursuant to the provision of Section 5.26.6(a) and (b)(vi); provided that,
no
assumption fee shall apply in connection with a Transfer and Assumption to
a
Transferee Borrower that is a Permitted REIT Transferee;

the delivery to Lender of the Endorsement.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.26.6, with respect to
a
one-time only Transfer and Assumption, Lender’s prior consent shall not be
required in connection with a Transfer and Assumption where either (i) the
Transferee Borrower is a Permitted Transferee; provided that the conditions
set
forth in subsection (b) above (other than clause (viii) therein) and subsection
(c) above have been satisfied or (ii) the Transferee Borrower is a Permitted
REIT Transferee; provided that the conditions set forth in subsection (b) above

the
closing of a Transfer and Assumption, Lender shall release Borrower, the OP

Section
6.3 Financial
Reporting
.
6.3.1 Financial
Statements.
The
financial statements heretofore furnished to Lender with respect to Borrower,
the OP and the REIT are, as of the dates specified therein, complete and correct
in all material respects and fairly present in all material respects the
financial condition of Borrower, the OP and the REIT and are prepared in
accordance with GAAP. Since the date of such financial statements, there has
been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operation or
business of Borrower, the OP and the REIT from that set forth in said financial
statements.
6.3.2 Quarterly
Reports.
Borrower will maintain full and accurate books of accounts and other records
reflecting the results of the operations of the Property and will furnish to
Lender on or before forty-five (45) days after the end of each calendar quarter
the following items, each certified by Borrower as being true and correct in
all
material respects: (i) a written statement (rent roll) dated as of the last
day of each such calendar quarter identifying each of the Leases (excluding
subleases) by the term, space occupied, rental required to be paid, security
deposit paid, any rental concessions, and a report identifying any defaults
or
payment delinquencies thereunder; (ii) monthly and year to date operating
statements prepared for each calendar month during each such calendar quarter,
noting Net Operating Income, and operating expenses, and including an
itemization of actual (not pro forma) capital expenditures and other information
necessary and sufficient under generally accepted accounting practices to fairly
represent the financial position and results of operation of the Property during
such calendar month, all in form satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a property
balance sheet for each such calendar quarter; (iv) a comparison of the
budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for year to
date
together with a detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%)
or
more between budgeted and actual amounts for such year to date period; and
(v) a calculation reflecting the Debt Service Coverage Ratio as of the last
day of each such calendar quarter. Until a Securitization has occurred, Borrower
shall furnish monthly each of the items listed in the immediately preceding
sentence within thirty (30) days after the end of such month.
66
6.3.3 Annual
Reports.
Within
one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year
(provided,
however,
if
requested by Lender, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide Lender with any unaudited annual statements prior to such date),
Borrower shall furnish statements of its financial affairs and condition
including a balance sheet and a statement of profit and loss for Borrower in
such detail as Lender may reasonably request, and setting forth the financial
condition and the income and expenses for the Property for the immediately
preceding calendar year, which statements shall be prepared by Borrower.
Borrower’s annual financial statements shall include (x) a list of the
tenants, if any, occupying more than twenty (20%) percent of the total floor
area of the Improvements, and (y) a breakdown showing the year in which
each Lease then in effect expires and the percentage of total floor area of
the
Improvements and the percentage of base rent with respect to which Leases shall
expire in each such year, each such percentage to be expressed on both a per
year and a cumulative basis. Borrower’s annual financial statements shall be
accompanied by a certificate executed by a financial officer of Borrower or
the
REIT stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly the
financial condition of the Property being reported upon and shall be audited
by
a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant
reasonably acceptable to Lender, which audited financial statements may be
in
the form of schedules to the audited consolidated financial statements of the
REIT. Each such annual financial statement shall be prepared in accordance
with
GAAP. At any time and from time to time Borrower shall deliver to Lender or
its
agents such other financial data as Lender or its agents shall reasonably
request with respect to the ownership, maintenance, use and operation of the
Property.
6.3.4 Annual
Budget.
Within
30 days after the commencement of a Cash Management Period, and not later than
each December 15 during the Term of the Loan until such Cash Management Period
has ended, Borrower shall submit to Lender a detailed budget (an “Annual
Budget”)
for
the Property covering the calendar year commencing on the following January
1,
each of which budgets shall be subject to Lender’s approval, not to be
unreasonably withheld, (provided that Borrower shall have the option to submit
to Lender a revised budget not later than June 30 of each year during the Term
of the Loan to adjust such budget on the basis of the actual results of Borrower
to such point in such calendar year) (each such budget, when so approved, is
referred to as an “Approved
Annual Budget”).
Until
such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, Borrower may operate
under the most recently Approved Annual Budget (adjusted to reflect actual
increases in real estate taxes, insurance premiums, utilities expenses, labor
costs, interest and other fixed costs with respect to the ownership, operation
and financing of the Property).

CASUALTY; AND CONDEMNATION
Section
7.1 Insurance
.

7.1.1 Coverage.
Borrower shall maintain insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at
least the following coverages:
(a) comprehensive
all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Equipment, in each case
(A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full
Replacement Cost,”
which
for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive
of
costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with
a
waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with
respect to the Improvements and Equipment waiving all co insurance provisions;
(C) providing for no “all risk” deductible in excess of $100,000; and
(D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement
if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time
constitute legal non conforming structures or uses. In addition, Borrower shall
obtain: (x) Flood Insurance in an amount of not less than $25,000,000 each
occurrence; (y) earthquake insurance in an amount at least equal to one
multiplied by a “Probable Maximum Loss” of total replacement value less a
deductible of 5% of the Total Insured Value (which includes annual rental value)
at the Property, and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to
Lender; and (z) coastal windstorm insurance in amounts and in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to
clauses (x), (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the
comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (a)
and
rental interruption insurance under subsection (c). Notwithstanding anything
to
the contrary contained herein, provided that Borrower maintains a minimum
blanket Policy limit of $1,250,000,000 per occurrence and the entire blanket
Policy limit is available for any one loss, Lender shall accept Borrower’s
stated value of insurance for the Property, which is $76,149,250 as of the
date
hereof. If at any time during the Term, Borrower either (x) losses its blanket
Policy coverage, (y) reduces its overall blanket Policy limit or (z) elects
to
insure the Property separately, Borrower shall increase the stated value for
the
Property to the then 100% replacement cost of the improvements, as reasonably
determined by Lender;
(b) commercial
general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury,
death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such
insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined
limit of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000) in the
aggregate and One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence;
(B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be
changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making
such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following
hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed
operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors;
(4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and
(5) liability that may arise from acts of terrorism, if commercially
available. The
self-insured retention or deductible for general liability coverage is not
to
exceed $100,000 per occurrence subject to a $750,000 maximum. This deductible
is
to be initially funded with a letter of credit in the amount of $200,000, held
and administrated by the carrier. Once the first $200,000 is exhausted
additional Letters of Credit must be continually posted until the $750,000
maximum deductible is exhausted.
(c) rental
interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender (allowing
reimbursement to Borrower for reasonable operating costs during the
interruption); (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the
insurance provided for in subsection (a) above;
68
(C) containing
an unlimited period of restoration and extended period of indemnity endorsement
which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Equipment
has been repaired, the continued loss of rental income will be insured until
such rental income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the
loss,
or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is
repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and
notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period,
provided that the unlimited period of restoration endorsement may be limited
to
the length of time required with the exercise of due diligence and dispatch
to
rebuild, repair or replace the damaged or destroyed property; and (D) in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected gross income from
the Property for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date that the
Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed. The amount of
such
rental interruption insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof
and
at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of
the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month
period. Subject to the rights of Lender and subject to the provisions of Section
7.4.1(j) below, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection
shall
be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan
Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note;
provided,
however,
that
nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations
to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates
of
payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the
extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such rental
interruption insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, provided that Borrower maintains a minimum blanket Policy limit of
$1,250,000,000 per occurrence and the entire blanket Policy limit is available
for any one loss, Lender shall accept Borrower’s loss of rents calculation in
lieu of the amount set forth in sub-clause (D) hereof, which such calculation
currently deducts for “variable expenses.” If at any time during the Term,
Borrower either (x) losses its blanket Policy coverage, (y) reduces its overall
blanket Policy limit or (z) elects to insure the Property separately, Borrower
shall provide rental interruption insurance in the amount set forth in
sub-clause (D) hereof without any deductions;
(d) at
all
times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being
made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the property coverage form
does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability
insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of
the
above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the
insurance provided for in subsection (a) 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 subsections (a) and (c)
above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with
an agreed amount endorsement waiving co insurance provisions;
(e) Workers’
Compensation insurance, as required by any governmental authority or any Legal
Requirements and Employer’s Liability Insurance of not less than One Million and
No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) for each occurrence;
(f) comprehensive
boiler and machinery insurance in an amount of not less than Fifty Million
and
No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000) each occurrence on terms consistent with the
commercial property insurance policy required under subsections (a) and (c)
above;
69
(g) umbrella
liability insurance in an amount not less than Twenty-Five Million and No/100
Dollars ($25,000,000) per occurrence, on terms consistent with the commercial
general liability insurance policy and motor liability insurance policy required
under subsection (b) above and (h) below, on a portfolio basis naming the
Property and all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates;
provided, that such insurance may be provided under a blanket insurance Policy
so long as the coverage required pursuant to this clause is not reduced below
the per occurrence limit set forth in this clause;
(h) motor
vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non owned vehicles, including
rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including
umbrella coverage, of Twenty Six Million and No/100 Dollars
($26,000,000);
(i) if
the
Property is or becomes a legal "non conforming" use, ordinance and law coverage
is required based on the following minimum limits: Coverage A (value of the
undamaged portion) to be included with the insured building limit; Coverage
B
(demolition/debris removal) at 10% of insured building value; and Coverage
C
(increased cost of construction) at 10% of insured building value;
(j) if
“certified acts of terrorism”,
as
declared by the United States Government, are now or hereafter excluded from
Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy, business income coverage,
commercial general liability insurance or umbrella liability insurance coverage,
Borrower
shall obtain an endorsement to such policies, or separate policies, insuring
against all such “certified acts of terrorism” (such acts or events so excluded,
“Terrorism
Acts”),
at
Borrower’s option, either (A) in an amount not less than Three Hundred
Sixty Million and No/100 Dollars ($360,000,000) on an aggregate basis covering
the Property and all other properties owned by the OP and/or its Affiliates
and
providing for a deductible not exceeding $1,000,000.00 or (B) in a total
amount not less than Four Hundred Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($410,000,000)
on an aggregate basis covering the Property and all other properties owned
by
the OP and/or its Affiliates as of the date hereof and providing for a
deductible of not in excess of 5% of the full replacement value of the Property;
in either case, the endorsement or policy shall be (x) in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; and (y) non-cancelable (to the
extent such non-cancelable insurance is available in the marketplace) (insurance
meeting such requirements being referred to herein as “Full
Coverage”);
provided Borrower shall not be required to spend in excess of an amount equal
to
200% of the aggregate amount of the “all risk” insurance premiums payable with
respect to the Property and all other properties owned by the OP and/or its
Affiliates per annum for the last policy year in which coverage for terrorism
was included as part of the “all risk” property policy, adjusted annually by a
percentage equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index (hereinafter
defined) (the “Terrorism
Premium Cap”)
for
such coverage and, in the event that Full Coverage is not available at a per
annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap, then Borrower shall purchase insurance
covering Terrorism Acts in an amount equal to the principal balance of the
Loan,
but shall not be required to maintain the full amount of such coverage if such
coverage is not available at a per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap
or
less, provided that in the event that the Terrorism Premium Cap is not
sufficient to purchase such coverage in an amount equal to the principal balance
of the Loan, then Borrower shall obtain the greatest amount of coverage
obtainable at a per annum cost of the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein,
“Consumer
Price Index”
means
the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers published by the
00
Xxxxxx
xx
Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan
Statistical Area, All Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto,
approximately adjusted, and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is
converted to a different standard reference base or otherwise revised, the
determination of adjustments provided for herein shall be made with the use
of
such conversion factor, formula or table for converting the Consumer Price
Index
as may be published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall
not publish the same, then with the use of such conversion factor, formula
or
table as may be published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any other nationally
recognized publisher of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer
Price Index ceases to be published, and there is no successor thereto (i) such
other index as Lender and Borrower shall agree upon in writing or (ii) if Lender
and Borrower cannot agree on a substitute index, such other index, as reasonably
selected by Lender.
In
the
event that the limits of insurance in place covering Terrorism Acts on a
portfolio basis are exhausted by damage to a property other than the Property,
then Borrower shall restore the coverage provided for in clause (x) above
(or any lesser amount of coverage that is available if such coverage is not
available), to the extent such insurance is commercially available;
and
(k) upon
sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such
reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against
such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against
for
property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the
Property is located.
7.1.2 Policies.
All
insurance provided for in Section 7.1.1 shall be obtained under valid and
enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies”
or
in
the singular, the “Policy”
and
shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies,
amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies (or a “cut-through”
endorsement, approved by Lender, with respect to any such Policy) shall be
issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized
to do
business in the State and, except in the case of flood hazard insurance and
earthquake insurance, having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by
S&P and an equivalent rating by Xxxxx’x (provided, however for multi-layered
policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies,
then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must
be
provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or
better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with no
carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) or
(B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at
least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies
must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating
of
“A-” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency), with
no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency). The
Policies described in Section 7.1.1 (other than those strictly limited to
liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee and Lender shall
be
an additional named insured, as its interests may appear. 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 satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder shall
be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
71
7.1.3 Insurance
Premiums.
Subject
to the provisions of Section 3.3 hereof, Borrower shall pay the premiums for
such Policies (the “Insurance
Premiums”)
as the
same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal
of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums
or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender
(provided,
however,
that
Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the
event that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section
3.3 hereof). If Borrower is required to furnish such evidence and receipts
pursuant to the preceding sentence and Borrower does not furnish such evidence
and receipts at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any expiring
Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such
insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to
reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand.
Within thirty (30) Business Days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain
such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be
reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value
of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and
practices of owners of property similar to the Property located in or around
the
region in which the Property is located and as may be available at commercially
reasonable rates. Lender acknowledges that the Policies, delivered with respect
to the Property as of the date hereof satisfy the requirements of this Section
7. Such approval shall continue in effect until the expiration or termination
of
such Policies, provided that there is not a downgrade by S&P or Xxxxx’x of
any insurer providing such Policies and, as a result thereof, Borrower fails
to
satisfy the rating criteria set forth in Section 7.1.2. Any renewal or
replacement of such Policies, however, shall require Lender’s approval as
provided above in this Section 7.1.2 unless (i) the companies providing
such renewal or replacement Policies are licensed to do business in the state
where the Property is located and have a claims paying ability rating by S&P
and Xxxxx’x that satisfy the requirements set forth in Section 7.1.2 above or
that, subject to the provisions of Section 7.1.5 below, such rating is no less
than the rating as of the date hereof of the company providing the insurance
approved by Lender as of the date hereof, (ii) the coverage provided by
such renewal or replacement Policies is no less than the coverage approved
by
Lender as of the date hereof, (iii) such renewal or replacement Policies
contain in all material respects the same terms and conditions as the Policies
approved by Lender as of the date hereof and (iv) Lender has not notified
Borrower in accordance with this Section 7.1 that the requirements for the
Policies have changed since the date hereof.
7.1.4 Blanket
Policies.
The
insurance coverage required under this Section 7.1 may be effected under one
or
more blanket Policies covering the Property and other property and assets not
constituting a part of the Property; provided that any blanket Policy shall
specify, except in the case of general liability insurance, the portion of
the
total coverage of such blanket Policy that is allocated exclusively to the
Property and shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Section
7. Lender hereby confirms that it approves (i) the terms of the existing
Property Insurance Sharing Agreement among Borrower and certain of its
Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance Premiums are financed through one
or more finance companies (individually and/or collectively, the “Blanket
Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement”)
to
whom Borrower pays Borrower’s allocable share of the annual initial deposit and
the monthly payments due for each blanket Policy to the applicable finance
company (with respect to each blanket Policy, such monthly payment, together
with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share
72
of
the
annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such
Policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date, each, a “Financing
Installment”).
Section
7.2 Casualty
.
7.2.1 Notice;
Restoration.
If the
Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other
casualty (a “Casualty”),
Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence
of
a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available
(unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such insurance
proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to
restore, repair, replace or rebuild the same to be of at least equal value
and
of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction
(a
“Casualty
Restoration”),
all
to be effected in accordance with applicable law
7.2.2 Settlement
of Proceeds.
If a
Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured
Casualty”)
occurs
where the loss does not exceed $1,500,000, provided no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any
claim
without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out
in
a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect
and
receipt for the Insurance Proceeds (as hereinafter defined). In the event of
an
Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $1,500,000 (a “Significant
Casualty”),
Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the
consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) in a commercially reasonable
manner on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due
and
payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other
than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a
Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such
third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower
hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses
incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds
shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender
within ten (10) days following demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes
a
payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated
as
business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation
(or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such
payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated
as
business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has
demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds
that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to
pay
100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds
are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that
such remaining net Proceeds, together with any portion of the amount treated
as
business or rental interruption insurance that will be paid to Lender, will
be
sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
73
Section
7.3 Condemnation
.
7.3.1 Notice;
Restoration.
Borrower shall promptly give Lender written notice of the actual or threatened
commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding (a “Condemnation”)
and
shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with
such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower,
regardless of whether an Award (hereinafter defined) is available (unless Lender
has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant
to
Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild
the same to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of
substantially the same character as prior to such Condemnation (a “Condemnation
Restoration”,
together with a Casualty Restoration, collectively a “Restoration”),
all
to be effected in accordance with applicable law.
7.3.2 Collection
of Award.
Lender
is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an
interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or
payment (“Award”)
for
any taking accomplished through a Condemnation (a “Taking”)
and to
make any commercially reasonable compromise or settlement in connection with
any
such Condemnation, subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right, provided no Default or Event
of
Default has occurred and is continuing, to compromise and collect or receive
any
award that does not exceed $1,500,000. Notwithstanding any Taking by any public
or quasi-public authority (including, without limitation, any transfer made
in
lieu of or in anticipation of such a Taking), Borrower shall continue to pay
the
Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note, in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until
any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses
of
collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited
to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be
entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided
in
the Note. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be
paid
directly to Lender. The expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and
collection of the Award shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby
and
shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within ten (10) days after the date
Lender makes written demand therefor.

the
Net Proceeds shall be less than $1,500,000 and the costs of completing the
Restoration shall be less than $1,500,000, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed
by
Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth

pursuant to Section 7.1.1(a), (d), (f), (i) and (j) (and any similar or
comparable types of insurance obtained pursuant to Section 7.1.1(i) as a result
of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any,
in
collecting same (“Insurance
Proceeds”),
or
(B) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and
expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any,
actually incurred in collecting same (“Condemnation
Proceeds”),
whichever the case may be.
(c) The
Net
Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that
each
of the following conditions are met:
(i) no
Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (1) in
the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than thirty percent
(30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed
or
rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty or (2) in the
event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent
(15%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located
along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the
Improvements is located in such land;
(iii) Leases
demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total
rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence
of
such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during
and
after the completion of the Restoration;
(iv) Borrower
shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no
event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking,
whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to
satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender
shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all
scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be
incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any
such
fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered
out
of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in
Section 7.1.1(c), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of
Borrower;
(vi) Lender
shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the
earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the
earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Required
Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law,
ordinance, rule or
75
regulation
in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in
immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible
the
condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or
(4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section
7.1.1(c);
(vii) the
Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with
and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations and all necessary operating or reciprocal easement agreements for
the operation and maintenance of the Property are, or remain, in
effect;
(viii) the
Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and
diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules
and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental
laws); and
(ix) such
fire
or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in a material loss
of access to the Property.
(d) Unless
such amounts are payable to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, the Net
Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account for the benefit
of Borrower (which interest shall be added to and become a part of the Net
Proceeds) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section
7.4, shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations
under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to,
or
as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration,
upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all
materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that
they
are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the
Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of
pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention
to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on
the
Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded
to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative
fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company
issuing the title insurance policy.
(e) All
plans
and specifications required in connection with any Restoration following a
Casualty or Condemnation resulting in Net Proceeds of $3,000,000 or more shall
be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender
and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty
Consultant”)
provided that if the correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting approval
of any such plans and specifications (or contractors, subcontractors or
materialmen in connection therewith) contains a bold faced, conspicuous legend
at the top of the first page stating that “IF YOU FAIL TO RESPOND TO THIS
REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN 15 BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL
BE
DEEMED GIVEN”, and if Lender fails to respond to such request for approval in
writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by Lender of such
written request, the related plans and specifications and all information
reasonably required in order to adequately review the same, then such approval
will be deemed given. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications
and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection
with
the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and
76
materialmen
engaged in any Restoration following a Casualty or Condemnation resulting in
Net
Proceeds of $3,000,000 or more, as well as the contracts under which they have
been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and
the
Casualty Consultant, which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection
with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty
Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(f) In
no
event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in
excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time
for
work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty
Retainage”
shall
mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the hard costs actually incurred
for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty
Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage
shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above
in this clause (f), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower
from
contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The
Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies
to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 7.4.1 and that all approvals necessary for the
re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate
governmental and quasi governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence
satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in
full
or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided,
however,
that
Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with
respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the
Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to
Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily
completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the
provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the
contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence
of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company
issuing the title insurance policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the
title insurance policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the
Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.
If
required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage
shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment
or
performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or
materialman.
(g) Lender
shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently
than once every calendar month.
(h) If
at any
time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the
reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant,
be
sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the
Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the
Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net
Proceeds Deficiency”)
with
Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall
be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration
on
the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and
until so disbursed pursuant to
77
this
Section 7.4 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other
obligations under the Loan Documents.
(i) The
excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the
Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant
certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 7.4.1, and the receipt by Lender of evidence
satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the
Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower,
provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under
the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(j) Notwithstanding
the last sentence of Section 7.1.1(c) and provided no Event of Default exists
hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the rental or business
interruption insurance specified in Section 7.1.1(c) above with respect to
any
Casualty shall either (x) at any time other than during the continuance of
a
Cash Management Period, be released to Borrower for Borrower’s deposit with the
Clearing Bank or (y) during a Cash Management Period, be deposited by Lender
directly into the Deposit Account and allocated as Rents in accordance with
Section 3.10(i) through (viii) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a
replacement for (i) lost Rents that would have been due under Leases
existing on the date of such Casualty, and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases
that had not yet been executed and delivered at the time of such Casualty which
Borrower has proven to the insurer under the related Policy would have been
due
under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by such
insurer reflect a replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) with respect
to clause (y) above, only to the extent necessary to fully make the
disbursements required by Section 3.10(i) through (viii). All other such
proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with this Section
7.4.
7.4.2 Application
to Debt.
All Net
Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or
(ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section
7.4.1(i) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt
whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions
as
Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of
Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such
purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion. So long as no Event
of
Default has occurred and is continuing, any application of Net Proceeds to
the
Debt shall not require any payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or any
other
premium or penalty.

Section
8.2 Remedies
.
80
8.2.1 Acceleration.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described
in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time
thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant
to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action,
without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce
its
rights against Borrower and in and to the Property including declaring the
Debt
to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest, Default Rate
interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts
owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default
described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid
interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium
and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically
become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly
waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to
the
contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies
Cumulative.
Upon
the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights,
powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower
under
the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any
time
and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared,
or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have
commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of
its
rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken
by
Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently,
singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order
as
Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by
law,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender
permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an
Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable
law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or
rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided
to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted
all
of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the
Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring
Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any
of
the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek
satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its
discretion.
8.2.3 Severance.
Lender
shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security
documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender
shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing
its
rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time
to
time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such
other
documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described
in
the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true
and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make
and
execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower
ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
81
8.2.4 Delay.
No
delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event
of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall
impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver
thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to
time
and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of
Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or
Event
of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the
right
to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection
with
the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all
or
any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any
other collateral.
8.2.5 Lender’s
Right to Perform.
If
Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein (including
the covenant set forth in the last sentence of Section 5.4.1) and such failure
shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of
written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right
to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or
under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation
to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all
costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid
in
connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender within ten (10)
days
after the date Lender makes written demand therefor and, if not paid, shall
be
added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured
by
the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at
the
Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation
to
send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

existing component thereof) into one or more notes and/or one or more components
and allocate Principal amounts thereof in order to effectuate one or more sales
of the Note (and/or the resulting notes or components thereof) and/or to
correspond to the related classes of Securities in one or more Securitizations
so long as, in all such cases, the overall duration-weighted interest rate
over
all of the notes and components shall equal the Interest Rate); provided,
however,
that
Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend the Note, Loan Agreement
or
any other Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (i) have a
material adverse economic effect on Borrower or its Affiliates, (ii) modify
or amend the loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the Loan
or
(iii) otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease
the rights of Borrower or the other parties pursuant to the Note, Loan Agreement
and other Loan Documents (including, but not limited to, modifying the transfer,
recourse, prepayment, event of default or remedy provisions of the Loan
Documents or the organizational documents of Borrower or its
Affiliate).
9.1.2 Costs
and Expenses.
Borrower, the REIT and their Affiliates will bear their own internal costs
of
cooperation required by this Agreement in connection with any Securitization,
but Lender shall be responsible for all other out-of-pocket costs and expenses
in connection with any Securitization after the closing of the
Loan.
9.1.3 Indemnification.
(a) Borrower
and its respective Affiliates understand that certain of the Provided
Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with each
Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus
supplement, private placement memorandum, collateral term sheets, structured
term sheets and computational materials (each, a “Disclosure
Document”)
and
may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”),
or
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange
Act”),
or
provided or made available to Investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies
and service providers relating to such Securitization. In the event that such
Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all
Securities, Borrower, and its respective Affiliates will cooperate with the
holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current
information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete
in
all material respects; provided,
however,
that
this provision shall be limited to those portions of the Disclosure Statement
that described Borrower or any of its Affiliates, the Property, the Loan or
the
other Loan Documents.
(b) In
the
case of each Securitization, Borrower agrees to cooperate in connection with
(i) the preparation of a preliminary and a final private placement
memorandum and/or (ii) the preparation of a preliminary and final
prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, and (iii) the execution
of an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower has
carefully
84
examined
in each such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, all sections containing
information relating to the Property, Parent, Borrower, any Affiliates of
Parent, Borrower, or the Loan, and that such information included therein
(collectively, the “Securitization
Information”),
does
not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact known to Borrower that is necessary in order to make the statements made,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
(B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.1.3, Lender
hereunder shall include its officers, directors and employees), the Person
who
acts as depositor, issuer and/or registrant who may have filed a registration
statement relating to the Securitization, each underwriter or placement agent
involved in the Securitization, each of their respective directors and officers
and each Person who controls such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of
the
Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the
“Indemnified
Group”),
for
any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”)
to
which any of the Indemnified Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
of any material fact contained in the Securitization Information which untrue
or
alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after
Borrower has been given an opportunity to review the Securitization Information,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to
make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were
made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse each Person in the
Indemnified Group for any legal or other expenses incurred by each such Person
in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities for which an
indemnity is owed hereunder; provided,
however,
that
Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only
to
the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any Provided
Information or upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact known to Borrower that is required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading, or any other information furnished to Lender
or
any other Person in the Indemnified Group by Borrower or an affiliate in
connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document or in connection
with
the underwriting of the Debt, including, without limitation, financial
statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site
assessment reports and Property condition reports with respect to the Property.
This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower
may
otherwise have.
(c) In
the
case of each Securitization, in connection with filings under the Exchange
Act,
Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) each Person in the Indemnified Group for
Liabilities to which each such Person may become subject insofar as the
Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or an alleged
untrue statement in the Provided Information or an omission or alleged omission
to state in the Provided Information a material fact known to Borrower that
is
necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light
of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, which untrue
or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is not expressly
disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has been given an opportunity
to
review such filings under the Exchange Act and (ii) each Person in the
Indemnified Group for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by each
such Person in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities for
which an indemnity is owed hereunder.
85
(d) Promptly
after receipt by a party seeking indemnification hereunder of notice of the
commencement of any action, suit or proceeding against such party in respect
of
which a claim is to be made under this Section 9.1.3, such party will notify
Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify
Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which Borrower may have
to
any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify
causes prejudice to Borrower. In the event that any action is brought against
any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof,
Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that
Borrower may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly
after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume
the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party.
After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party hereunder, Borrower shall
be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable
costs of investigation; provided,
however,
if the
defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and Borrower
and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any
legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are
different from or in addition to those available to Borrower, the indemnified
party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert
such
legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on
behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrower shall not be liable for
the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party
shall
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to Borrower
that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified
party.
(e) In
order
to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which any
indemnification provided for under this Section 9.1.3 is for any reason held
to
be unenforceable, unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party in respect of any Liabilities which would otherwise be indemnifiable
hereunder, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities; provided,
however,
that if
any indemnified party is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) it shall not be entitled to
contribution from Borrower if Borrower was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the
respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered:
(i) the relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter
with respect to which a claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct
and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby
agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were
determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The
liabilities and obligations of Borrower and its Affiliates hereunder shall
survive the termination of the Note, Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents
and
the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(g) Each
Person in the Indemnified Group is an intended third party beneficiary of the
obligations of Borrower herein.
9.1.4 Rating
Surveillance.
Lender
will retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on
Securities. The pro rata expenses of such surveillance will be
86
paid
for
by Borrower based on the applicable percentage of such expenses determined
by
dividing the then outstanding Principal by the then aggregate outstanding amount
of the pool created in the Securitization which includes the Loan.
9.1.5 Severance
of Loan.
Lender
shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or
after any Securitization), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan,
to
modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter
provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and
the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create
one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e.,
an A/B
or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes
(and allocate or reallocate the Principal balance of the Loan among such
components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two or more loans secured
by mortgages, in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority
Lender determines; provided,
however,
in each
such instance the outstanding Principal balance of all the Notes evidencing
the
Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of
such modification equals the outstanding Principal balance of the Loan
immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest
rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the
effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original
Note immediately prior to such modification and such action shall not result
in
additional costs to Borrower except as expressly provided above. If requested
by
Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and
Guarantor) shall execute within five (5) Business Days after such request,
such
documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate
any
such modification or severance.

the
terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event
of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu
thereof.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents (i) Lender shall not
be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file
a
claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall
continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan
Documents, and (ii) the Debt shall become fully recourse to Borrower (but not
its members (other than Guarantor solely to the extent provided in the
Non-Recourse Guaranty) or other direct or indirect constituent members or

failure results in the substantive consolidation of Borrower with another
Person; (C) except as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents,
Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any subordinate
financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property; (D) except as
otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, Borrower fails to obtain

any involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant
to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law filed against
it
by any other Person, or is found pursuant to a final, unappealable order of

court of competent jurisdiction to have solicited or caused to be solicited
creditors to file any involuntary petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or
arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state
law against Borrower or Guarantor, or (3) if Borrower or Guarantor are

jurisdiction, to have been in collusion with creditors that initiate a
bankruptcy action or proceeding against Borrower or Guarantor.

where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case
may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that
neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any

any
obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee
of
Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and
clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim
or
defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to
interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action
or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law
or
applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender
to
contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest
than
under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement
in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever
judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under
the
Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved
or
received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to
accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in
Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable
law,
then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts
theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal
and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full,
refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately
be
deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced,
without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply
with
applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise
called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the
use,
forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the
full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount
of
interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from
time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is
outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any
interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect
unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
Section
10.18 Conflict;
Construction of Documents
.
In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the
other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The
parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in
connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that
the
Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning
against the party that drafted them.
Section
10.19 No
Third Party Beneficiaries
.
The
Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing
contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other
than
the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance
or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section
10.20 Yield
Maintenance Premium
.
Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration
of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be
conferred by the Loan Documents and
94
(b) if
payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date,
for
any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration
of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender
will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition,
incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower
agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, all prepayments,
if
any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield
Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether
payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the
purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender
at
such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable
real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect
of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of
the
Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate
and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration
for
Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and
(D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without
the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions
of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment
of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were
independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material
part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the
Loan
except as expressly permitted hereunder. BORROWER
EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, BORROWER HAS AGREED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PREPAY THE
LOAN IN WHOLE OR IN PART WITHOUT PREMIUM EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN,
AND THAT BORROWER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM
OR
YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM, AS APPLICABLE AND TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED HEREIN
IF
BORROWER PREPAYS THE LOAN FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF AN ACCELERATION OF THE
LOAN. FURTHERMORE, BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE UNDER SECTION
2954.10 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE, AND BORROWER
AGREES THAT IF A PREPAYMENT OF ANY OR ALL OF THIS AGREEMENT IS MADE FOLLOWING
ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE BY LENDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY TRANSFER
OR
DISPOSITION PROHIBITED OR RESTRICTED HEREIN OR BY THE MORTGAGE, BORROWER SHALL
BE OBLIGATED TO PAY CONCURRENTLY THEREWITH THE PREPAYMENT PREMIUM OR YIELD
MAINTENANCE PREMIUM, IF ANY. BORROWER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS
THAT LENDER HAS MADE THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IN RELIANCE ON THE FOREGOING
AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS LOAN
WITHOUT SUCH AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, AND THAT THE MAKING OF THE
LOAN
AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE
CONSIDERATION, GIVEN WEIGHT BY THE UNDERSIGNED, FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND
WAIVER.
Section
10.21 Assignment
95
.
The
Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations
and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and
assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part,
whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in
interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this
Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee
or
successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall
thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights,
title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan
Documents except as specifically provided in Sections 5.26.5 and 5.26.6 of
this
Agreement. In connection with any assignment, the new Lender shall provide
notice to Borrower of the identity, address and other pertinent information
pertaining to the new Lender.
Section
10.22 Certain
Additional Rights of Lender
.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall
have:
(1) the
right
to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant
business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower,
provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of
environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.
Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than
quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any
reasonable times;
(2) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books
and
records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;
(3) the
right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive financial
reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity
and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding
indebtedness;
(4) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained with respect
to the Property so long as any portion of the Debt remains
outstanding;
(5) the
right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement or
the
other Loan Documents (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management,
consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the
Rents;
(6) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any operating budget and/or capital
budget of Borrower;
(7) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any
other significant property (other than personal property required for the day
to
day operation of the Property); and
(8) the
right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement
(including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower
held by its members,
96
and
the
right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any
transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.
The
rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person
that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender. The provisions
of this Section are intended to satisfy the requirement of management
rights for purposes of the Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation 29
C.F.R., Section 2510.3-101.
Section
10.23 Set-Off
.
In
addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement
and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower,
any
such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and
appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other
credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct
or
indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or
owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account
of
Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off
and
application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section
10.24 Counterparts
.
This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
so
executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together
constitute one and the same instrument.
