2.2 Interest on the Note.
(A) Rate of Interest. The outstanding principal balance of Tranche A shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Note A Interest Rate. The “Note A Interest Rate” shall be the rate of interest per annum equal to the sum of the Note A Interest Rate Spread plus the LIBO Rate. The outstanding principal balance of Tranche B shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Note B Interest Rate.

15
(B) Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default and for so long as such Event of Default continues and in any event from and after the maturity of the Loan, Tranche A shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is five percent (5.00%) in excess of the Note A Interest Rate (the “Note A Default Rate”) and Tranche B and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall bear interest until paid in full at a rate per annum that is five percent (5.00%) in excess of the Note B Interest Rate (the “Note B Default Rate”).
(C) Computation of Interest. Interest on the Loan and all other Obligations owing to Lender shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, and shall be charged for the actual number of days elapsed during any month or other accrual period.
(D) Interest Laws. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations owing to Lender for accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation owing to Lender is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations owing to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations owing to Lender had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. If the Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the Interest Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would have been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is greater or lesser than the Interest Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply. It is expressly stipulated and agreed that it is the intent of Borrower and Lender to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws. In furtherance thereof, none of the terms of this Agreement, any Note, the Deed of Trust or any of the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate. Borrower and any other Persons now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Indebtedness shall never be liable for interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. If under any circumstances the aggregate amounts paid on the Obligations include amounts which by law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, Borrower stipulates that such amounts will be deemed to have been paid as a result of an error on
16
the part of both Borrower and Lender, and the Person receiving such excess payment shall promptly, upon discovery of such error or upon notice thereof from the Person making such payment, refund the amount of such excess or, at the Lender’s option, credit such excess against the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations; provided, however, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Borrower shall not be required to pay to Lender the Prepayment Consideration with respect to any such credit against the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations. In addition, all sums paid or agreed to be paid to the holder or holders of the Indebtedness for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Indebtedness. The provisions of this Section 2.2(D) shall control all agreements, whether now or hereafter existing and whether written or oral, between the Borrower and Lender.
(E) Late Charges. If any payment of principal, interest or other sums due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is not paid on the due date thereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late fee in an amount equal to three percent (3.00%) of such principal, interest or other sums due hereunder; provided, however, with respect to monthly payments of debt service only, if: (i) Borrower is not in Default hereunder; (ii) there are sufficient funds on deposit in the Debt Service Sub-Account to pay such debt service; (iii) Lender does not apply the funds on deposit in the Debt Service Sub-Account towards the payment of such debt service; and (iv) Borrower and its Affiliates do not interfere, or attempt to interfere, with such application of funds, then Lender shall waive any late charge arising from Borrower’s failure to pay such debt service on the due date thereof.
2.3 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

(A) Date and Time of Payment. Commencing on the Payment Date of the second calendar month following the Closing and continuing on the Payment Date of each month thereafter until all Obligations are finally repaid in full, Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) interest accrued on Tranche A and Tranche B during the calendar month preceding such Payment Date, and (ii) the principal amortization payments described in Section 2.4(C) below. Notwithstanding the above, on the Closing Date Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount equal to the interest which will accrue on the principal balance of the Loan calculated at the Note A Interest Rate with respect to Tranche A and at the Note B Interest Rate with respect to Tranche B from and after the Closing Date through and including the last day of the calendar month during which the Closing occurs. Borrower shall receive credit for payments transferred to the account of Lender as provided below if such funds are received by Lender by 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day. In the absence of timely receipt, such funds shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the next succeeding Business Day. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Original Payment Date to a date other than the first (1st) day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly payments, except that the first payment on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest calculated at the Note A Interest Rate with respect to Tranche A and at the Note B Interest Rate with respect to Tranche B for the period from the Original Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date.
(B) Manner of Payment. Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All payments by Borrower on the Loan shall be made without deduction, defense, set off or counterclaim and in immediately available funds delivered to Lender by wire transfer to such accounts at such banks as Lender may from time to time designate.

Commencing on the Payment Date occurring in April 2004 and on each Payment Date thereafter to and including the Payment Date occurring in June 2006, Borrower
18
shall make principal amortization payments as shown on the amortization schedule attached as Exhibit B hereto, which monthly principal amortization payments are equal to the principal component of the level monthly payments which would be required to fully amortize a loan having a principal balance of $48,100,000 and a per annum interest rate of 7% over a fifteen (15) year period. In the event the Maturity Date of the Loan is extended pursuant to Section 2.5 below, then commencing on the Payment Date occurring in July 2006 and on each Payment Date thereafter Borrower shall make principal amortization payments as shown on the amortization schedule attached as Exhibit B hereto, which monthly principal amortization payments are equal to the principal component of the level monthly payments which would be required to fully amortize a loan having a principal balance of $43,793,986 and a per annum interest rate of 7% over a ten (10) year period. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, all monthly principal amortization payments made by Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.4(C) shall be applied (i) to reduce the outstanding principal balance of Note B until Note B has been repaid in full, and (ii) thereafter to reduce the outstanding principal balance of Note A. During the continuation of an Event of Default, Lender may allocate and apply the principal amortization payments between Tranche A and Tranche B as Lender determines in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.5 Maturity. To the extent not sooner due and payable in accordance with the Loan Documents, the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, the applicable Prepayment Consideration, and all other sums then owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on July 1, 2006 (the “Maturity Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, upon the request of the Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5, the Maturity Date of the Loan may be extended for up to two (2) additional twelve (12) month periods (to July 1, 2007 and July 1, 2008, respectively; the period commencing on July 2, 2006 and ending on July 1, 2007 is referred to herein as the “First Extension Term”, and the period commencing on July 2, 2007 and ending on July 1, 2008 is referred to herein as the “Second Extension Term”), provided that: (i) such request for extension is made in writing (A) with respect to the First Extension Term, no earlier than March 31, 2006 and no later than April 30, 2006, and (B) with respect to the Second Extension Term, no earlier than March 31, 2007 and no later than April 30, 2007, (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing (at the date of each request for each such extension and at all times thereafter to and including the then scheduled Maturity Date which is being extended), (iii) on each of (A) the date of the request for such extension and (B) the then scheduled Maturity Date which is being extended, the chief financial officer of the Borrower provides Lender with a written certificate certifying that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, (iv) Borrower has, not later than May 31, 2006 with respect to the First Extension Term and not later than May 31, 2007 with respect to the Second Extension Term, purchased and delivered to Lender a Cap from a Cap Provider reasonably acceptable to Lender (and otherwise complying with the terms hereof) with a term expiring no earlier than the applicable date to which the Maturity Date shall be extended and Borrower has collaterally assigned such Cap to Lender pursuant to a collateral assignment of interest rate protection agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (v) the Net Cash Flow as determined by Lender in accordance with this Agreement as of March 31 prior to the then scheduled Maturity Date (the “Extension NCF Determination Date”) (based on information delivered to Lender as of the Calculation Date occurring in April 2006 with respect to the First Extension Term and April 2007 with respect to the Second Extension Term) is equal to or exceeds the Closing Date Net Cash Flow and as of such scheduled Maturity Date there has been no material adverse change (as
19
determined by Lender) in Net Cash Flow since the Extension NCF Determination Date, and (vi) Borrower pays to Lender concurrently with the delivery to Lender of the applicable request for extension a nonrefundable extension fee equal to (x) with respect to the First Extension Term, one-half of one percent (0.5%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan (as of the date of request for extension), and (y) with respect to the Second Extension Term, one percent (1.0%) of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan (as of the date of request for extension).
2.6 Prepayments.
(A) Borrower’s Right to Prepay. The Loan may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time, provided that together therewith Borrower also shall pay all accrued and unpaid interest, the applicable Prepayment Consideration, and, if the Loan is prepaid in whole, all other Obligations.
(B) Consideration Due on All Repayments. Notwithstanding anything else in the Loan Documents (but subject to the foregoing Section 2.6(A)), if any prepayment (or repayment) of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Loan shall occur, whether prior to, on, or after the Maturity Date and whether such prepayment is voluntary, involuntary, on account of acceleration of the Loan (whether or not due to an Event of Default), or otherwise, then (except only as to (i) a prepayment of insurance or condemnation proceeds required by Lender pursuant to the Deed of Trust in the absence of an Event of Default or (ii) scheduled payments of principal made pursuant to Section 2.4(C)) Borrower shall pay to Lender, as liquidated damages and compensation for costs incurred, and in addition to all other amounts due and owing to Lender, an amount equal to the Prepayment Consideration.
(C) Conditions to Prepayment. As to any prepayment, all of the following conditions shall apply in favor of Lender: Borrower shall have no right to make any prepayment if any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing other than a prepayment of all of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Borrower shall provide not more than sixty (60) days’ and not less than thirty (30) days’ prior irrevocable written notice of any prepayment. Any and all prepayments shall occur on the Payment Date. If any prepayment occurs other than on the Payment Date, then together with such prepayment Borrower also shall pay to Lender the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount being prepaid from the date of prepayment to the earlier of (a) the Payment Date of the following calendar month and (b) the Maturity Date.
2.7 Outstanding Balance. The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to record any transaction affecting such balance or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations. Upon discovery of any manifest error, Lender shall correct such manifest error.
2.8 Taxes.
(A) No Deductions. Any and all payments or reimbursements made hereunder or under the Note shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto
20
arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (all such taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings and all liabilities with respect thereto [excluding taxes imposed on net income in accordance with the following sentence] herein “Tax Liabilities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be liable for taxes imposed on the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such Tax Liabilities (or amounts in estimation or reimbursement for the same) from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made.
(B) Changes in Tax Laws, Eurodollar Costs. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:
(a) does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for taxes imposed on the net income of Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which Lender is organized or doing business or any political subdivision thereof and taxes imposed on its net income by the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable lending office or any political subdivision thereof); or
(b) does or will impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the reasonable determination of Lender, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, Lender or any Affiliate of Lender; or
(c) does or shall impose on Lender or any Affiliate of Lender any other condition or increased cost (other than those referenced in this Section) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or participations herein;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing the Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the applicable other Loan Documents. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing
21
sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.
2.9 Reasonableness of Charges. The Borrower Parties agree that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of a default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents), prepayment or repayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the late charges, and the Prepayment Consideration are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) such Default Rate and late charges and Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) such Default Interest, late charges, Prepayment Consideration, and the obligation to pay Lender’s attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

28
(D) Binding Obligations. This Agreement is, and the Loan Documents, including the Notes, when executed and delivered will be, the legally valid and binding obligations of each Borrower Party, as applicable, each enforceable against the Borrower Parties, as applicable, in accordance with their respective terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights. No Borrower Party has any defense or offset to any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. No Borrower Party has any claim against Lender or, to the Knowledge of the Borrower Parties, any Affiliate of Lender.
(E) Defense of Usury. Borrower knows of no facts that would support a claim of usury to defeat or avoid its obligation to repay the principal of, interest on, and other sums or amounts due and payable under, the Loan Documents.

All Financial Statements concerning any of the Borrower Parties and their respective Affiliates which have been or will hereafter be furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Agreement have been or will be prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied (except as disclosed therein) and do (or will, as to those statements that are not yet due) present fairly the financial condition of the Persons covered thereby as at the dates thereof and the results of their operations for the periods then ended.
4.4 Indebtedness and Contingent Obligations. As of the Closing, none of the Primary Borrower Parties shall have any Indebtedness or Contingent Obligations except for the Obligations or Indebtedness permitted under Section 5.17(B).
4.5 Title to Property. Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the Property, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower owns and will own (or lease pursuant to equipment leases approved by Lender in writing) at all times all personal property relating to the Property (other than personal property which is both owned by tenants of the Property and not used or necessary for the operation of the Property), subject only to Permitted Encumbrances. Without limitation of the foregoing, Borrower will own or lease pursuant to equipment leases approved by Lender in writing, all furnishings, fixtures and equipment located at the Property that is used by Borrower or necessary for or integral to the operation of the Property, free and clear of any lease, lien or encumbrance except the Permitted Encumbrances.

There are no proceedings in condemnation or eminent domain affecting the Property or the Leases, and to the knowledge of the Borrower Parties, none is threatened. No Person has any option or other right to purchase all or any portion of the Property or any interest therein. Borrower has advised Lender that it is currently utilizing Property owned by the Peninsula Corridor Joint Powers Board pursuant to an unrecorded license agreement (the “Adjacent Property”). The Adjacent Property is not necessary for the efficient operation of the Property and is not necessary for Borrower to satisfy, or the Property to be in compliance with, any rules, restrictions or requirements of any applicable governmental authority.
4.6 Zoning, Other Laws. The Property is zoned for its current use (and all currently anticipated uses of the Property), which zoning designation is unconditional, in full force and effect, and is beyond all applicable appeal periods. To the Knowledge of Borrower, the Property is in compliance with all applicable zoning, subdivision and land use laws, regulations and
29
ordinances, all applicable health, fire, and building codes, and all other laws applicable to the Property, including without limitation the Americans with Disabilities Act. Borrower knows of no illegal activities relating to controlled substances on the Property. All required permits, licenses and certificates for the lawful use and operation of the Property by Borrower, and to Borrower’s Knowledge, by the tenants, of the Property, including, but not limited to, certificates of occupancy, or the equivalent, have been obtained and are current and in full force and effect. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements located on the Property are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits, other than customary demolition, building and other construction related permits. The Property contains sufficient permanent parking spaces (both regular spaces and handicap spaces) to satisfy all requirements imposed by applicable laws with respect to parking. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the Knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Property. No tract map, parcel map, condominium plan, condominium declaration, or plat of subdivision will be recorded by Borrower with respect to the Property without Lender’s prior written consent.

Borrower has provided Lender with true and complete copies of all contracts and agreements affecting the Property (other than agreements between tenants of the Property and non-Borrower Parties or their respective Affiliates) and the operation and management of the Property, including, the Management Agreement, any leasing brokerage agreement, and all Leases, tenancies or other contracts or agreements relating to the use, maintenance, development, operation or management thereof. Except for the rights of Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement, no Person has any right, or obligation to manage the Property or to receive compensation in connection with such management. Except for the parties to any leasing brokerage agreement that has been delivered to Lender, no Person has any right or obligation to sell, lease, or solicit purchasers or tenants for the Property, or (except for cooperating outside brokers) to receive compensation in connection with such sale or leasing. Borrower holds the entire and unencumbered rights of the landlord under each of the Leases, licenses and other agreements relating to occupancy of space at the Property, and neither Borrower nor any predecessor lessor has heretofore alienated, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of or encumbered the Leases, which remains effective as of the date hereof, or any of the sums due or to become due thereunder.

(C) Lease Issues. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7(C), there are no legal proceedings commenced (or, to the Knowledge of the Borrower, threatened) against Borrower by any tenant or former tenant. No rental in excess of one month’s rent has been prepaid under any of the Leases. Each of the Leases is valid and binding on the parties thereto in accordance with its terms. The execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not constitute an event of default under any of the Leases.

No Person has an option to purchase the Property or an interest therein.
4.8 Condition of Property. All Improvements are in good condition and repair. Borrower is not aware of any latent or patent structural or other significant defect or deficiency in the Improvements. City water supply, storm and sanitary sewers, and electrical, gas and telephone facilities are available to the Property within the boundary lines of the Property, are fully connected to the Improvements and are fully operational, are sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Property as now used or presently contemplated to be used, and no other utility facilities are necessary to meet the reasonable needs of the Property as now used or presently contemplated. The design and as-built conditions of the Property are such that surface and storm water does not accumulate on the Property (except in facilities specifically designed for the same) and does not drain from the Property across land of adjacent property owners in any manner which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Property or violate any applicable law. Except as shown on the Survey, no part of the Property is within a flood plain and none of the Improvements create encroachment over, across or upon the Property’s boundary lines, rights of way or easements, and no building or other improvements on adjoining land create such an encroachment which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All public roads and streets necessary for service of and access to the Property for the current and contemplated uses thereof have been completed and are serviceable and are physically and legally open for use by the public. Any liquid or solid waste disposal, septic or sewer system located at the Property is in good and safe condition and repair and in compliance with all applicable law.

31
Party, nor is there any action, charge, claim, demand, suit, proceeding, petition, governmental investigation or arbitration now pending or, to the Knowledge of Borrower after due inquiry, threatened against any Borrower Party. The actions, charges, claims, demand, suits, proceedings, petitions, investigations and arbitrations set forth on Schedule 4.9 will not result, if adversely determined, and could not reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any Material Adverse Effect and do not relate to and will not affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

All tax returns and reports of each Borrower Party required to be filed have been timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon such Person and upon its properties, assets, income and franchises which are due and payable have been paid when due and payable. There is not presently pending (and to the Borrower’s Knowledge, there is not contemplated) any special assessment against the Property or any part thereof. No part of the Property is included or assessed under or as part of another tax lot or parcel, and no part of any other property is included or assessed under or as part of the tax lots or parcels comprising the Property. None of the United States income tax returns of Borrower Parties are under audit. No tax liens have been filed and to the best knowledge of the Borrower Parties, no claims are being asserted with respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of Borrower Parties in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are in accordance with GAAP.
4.11 Adverse Contracts. Except for the Loan Documents, none of Borrower and its Affiliates is a party to or bound by, nor is any property of such Person subject to or bound by, any contract or other agreement which restricts such Person’s ability to conduct its business in the ordinary course or, either individually or in the aggregate, has a Material Adverse Effect or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for that certain Exclusive Listing Agreement between Borrower and Insignia/ESG having a term commencing on January 28, 2002, all existing management (property and asset), brokerage or other such similar agreements, whether with an Affiliate or any other Person, with respect to assets owned by Borrower, may be terminated, without cause and without payment of a penalty or fee, on not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice in the event that Lender at any time exercises any of its rights to take control (voting or otherwise) of Borrower or the Property. All fees paid under any such agreement with an Affiliate shall be subordinate to the Obligations and all payments due under the Loan Documents.
4.12 Performance of Agreements. No Borrower Party is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual Obligation of any such Person which could have a Material Adverse Effect, and no condition exists that, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute such a default.

Except as disclosed in the Closing Environmental Report delivered to Lender prior to the Closing, neither Borrower nor to the Knowledge of Borrower, any other Person has caused or permitted any Hazardous Material to be used, generated, reclaimed, transported, released, treated, stored or disposed of in a manner which could form the basis for an Environmental Claim against Borrower or relating to the Property.

(F) Lender shall terminate this Agreement upon payment in full of the Obligations and shall return to Borrower all monies then held in the Central and Ancillary Accounts after liquidating all Permitted Investments. In connection with, and on the date of, payment in full of the Obligations, Borrower may credit monies of or for the benefit of Borrower then held by Lender toward such payment in full, provided that Borrower provides Lender with all authorizations and other documents Lender may reasonably require, and that such monies are immediately available without impediment to Lender.
(G) Lender may exercise in respect of the Account Collateral all rights and remedies available to Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or otherwise available at law or in equity. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may exercise in respect of the Account Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein
61
or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the Uniform Commercial Code then in effect in the applicable jurisdiction.
(H) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provisions of this Agreement, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, it will have no further right to request or otherwise require Lender to disburse funds from the Central and Ancillary Accounts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, it being agreed that Lender may, at its option, do any one or more of the following or (i) direct the Central and Ancillary Account Banks to continue to hold the funds in the Central and Ancillary Accounts, or (ii) direct the Central and Ancillary Account Bank to issue payment to the Operating Account or to vendors for payment of Expenses, or (iii) direct that the Central and Ancillary Account Bank from time to time disburse all or any portion of the funds held in the Central and Ancillary Accounts then or thereafter held by the Central and Ancillary Account Banks to Lender, in which event Lender may apply said funds to the Obligations, in any order and in such manner as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
(I) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, at any time or from time to time:
(1) collect, appropriate, redeem, realize upon or otherwise enforce its rights with respect to the Account Collateral, or any part thereof, without notice to Borrower and without the need to institute any legal action, make demand to or upon Borrower or any other Person, exhaust any other remedies or otherwise proceed to enforce its rights;
(2) execute (in the name, place and stead of Borrower) any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance which may be required for the withdrawal and negotiation of the Account Collateral; and/or
(3) exercise all other rights and remedies available to Lender under applicable law, hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents.
Lender shall provide to Borrower, in writing, an accounting of all monies so applied promptly following written request after any such application.
(J) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein:
(1) Borrower shall remain liable under the Loan Documents to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its respective obligations thereunder;
(2) The exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder shall not release Borrower from its obligations under any of the Loan Documents, nor shall it constitute an election of remedies by Lender or a waiver by Lender of any of its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents;
(3) Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Lender be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Borrower
62
hereunder or to take any action, in each case, to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder; and
(4) Lender shall not have to resort to using the Account Collateral before making demand upon or bringing an action against Borrower under any Loan Document or against any guarantor under any guaranty given in connection with the Loan (unless and only to the extent otherwise expressly provided in any such guaranty).
(K) No failure on the part of Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The remedies provided in this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
7.8 Investment of Funds in Central Account and Ancillary Accounts.
(A) Lender is authorized to invest all or any part of the funds in or from the Central and Ancillary Accounts in one or more Permitted Investments. Lender shall invest all of such funds held by Lender in or from the Central and Ancillary Accounts in Permitted Investments. Unless otherwise specified by Borrower in written notice delivered both to Lender and Servicer, funds may be held in short-term money market investments or in so-called money market or market rate accounts. Any instructions from Borrower to invest otherwise shall be subject to reasonable approval by Lender.
(B) All funds from the Central and Ancillary Accounts that are invested in a Permitted Investment are deemed to be held in the Central and Ancillary Accounts for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Borrower shall provide Lender or the applicable bank, at any time upon request of Lender, with a Form W-8 or W-9 to evidence that Borrower is not subject to any backup withholding under the IRC.
(C) Notwithstanding Paragraph (A) above, neither Lender nor Servicer shall have any liability for any loss in investments of funds that are invested in Permitted Investments (unless such loss results from gross negligence or willful misconduct, and then only the party at fault shall be liable), and no such loss shall affect Borrower’s obligations to make all payments and deposits required to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents. Neither Lender nor Servicer shall be responsible for obtaining any specific level or percentage of earnings on any Permitted Investment. The Servicer’s receipt of any such earnings shall not in any manner be deemed on account of any monies owed to Lender under the Note or any other Obligations.
7.9 Representations and Warranties. In addition to any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, Borrower represents and warrants as follows:

ARTICLE 10
RESTRUCTURING LOAN, SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTIONS
10.1 Secondary Market Transactions Generally. Lender shall have the right to engage in one or more Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation, and to structure and restructure all or any part of the Loan, including without limitation in multiple tranches, as a wraparound loan, or for inclusion in a REMIC or other Securitization. Without limitation, Lender shall have the right to (a) cause the Notes and the Deed of Trust to be split into a first and a second mortgage loan, or into one or more loans secured by mortgages and/or by direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower, or (b) create one or more senior and subordinate notes or multiple components of such note or notes, in each case in whatever proportion Lender determines, and thereafter to engage in Secondary Market Transactions with respect to all or any part of the indebtedness and loan documentation. Borrower acknowledges that it is the intention of the parties that all or a portion of the Loan will be securitized and that all or a portion of the Loan will be rated by one or more Rating Agencies. Borrower further acknowledges that additional structural modifications may be required to satisfy issues raised by any Rating Agencies. As used herein, “Secondary Market Transaction” means any of (i) the sale, assignment or other transfer of all or any portion of the Obligations or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) the sale, assignment, or other transfer of one or more participation interests in the Obligations or Loan Documents to one or more investors, or (iii) the transfer or deposit of all or any portion of the Obligations or Loan Documents to or with one or more trusts or other entities which may sell certificates or other instruments to investors evidencing an ownership interest in the assets of such trust or the right to receive income or proceeds therefrom.
10.2 Cooperation; Limitations. Borrower Parties shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate reasonably and in good faith with Lender in effecting any such restructuring or Secondary Market Transaction. Such cooperation shall include without limitation, executing and delivering such reasonable non-material amendments to the Loan Documents and the organizational documents of Borrower and Sole Member as Lender may request, provided however that no such amendment shall modify (i) the interest rate payable under each Note (provided, however, that if the Loan is restructured as multiple loans with multiple notes, the interest rate on one note may be higher than the interest rate payable under either Note, so long as the aggregate interest charged under such multiple notes does not exceed the aggregate interest charged under the Notes), (ii) the stated maturity date of the Notes, (iii) the amortization of the principal amount of the Loan, (iv) any other economic terms of the Obligations, or (v) the non-recourse provisions of the Loan, or (iv) impose on the Borrower Parties any material additional restrictions or obligations. Such cooperation also shall include using best efforts to
74
obtain such certificates and assurances from governmental entities and others as Lender may request. Borrower shall not be required to incur any out-of-pocket expenses (other than de minimis expenses) in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction or to provide additional collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay for any item that is requested by Lender in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction that was a requirement of the Closing but which was waived in connection with the Closing.
10.3 Information. The Borrower Parties shall provide such access to personnel and such information and documents relating to the Borrower Parties, Manager, the Property and the business and operations of all of the foregoing and such opinions of counsel (including nonconsolidation opinions) as Lender may reasonably request in connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction. Lender shall be permitted to share all such information with the investment banking firms, Rating Agencies, accounting firms, law firms, other third party advisory firms, potential investors, and other parties involved in any proposed Secondary Market Transaction. Any such information may be incorporated into offering documents for the Secondary Market Transactions. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms and investors shall be entitled to rely upon such information, and Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading. Lender may publicize the existence of the Obligations in connection with Lender’s Secondary Market Transaction activities or otherwise.
10.4 Additional Provisions. In any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender may transfer its obligations under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations of Borrower), and thereafter Lender shall be relieved of any obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents arising after the date of said transfer with respect to the transferred interest. Each transferee investor shall become a “Lender” hereunder. In the event Lender transfers any or all of its obligations to multiple transferee investors and such investors become “Lenders”, one such Lender or Servicer shall act as the representative for all Lenders, and shall receive notices, approve or deny requests, and otherwise act on behalf of all Lenders.
ARTICLE 11
RESTRICTIONS ON LIENS, TRANSFERS; ASSUMABILITY
11.1 Restrictions on Transfer and Encumbrance. Borrower shall not cause or suffer to occur any sale, transfer, pledge, or encumbrance of (i) all or any part of the Property, or any interest therein, or (ii) any direct or indirect ownership or beneficial interest in any of the Primary Borrower Parties, irrespective of the number of tiers of ownership. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary:
(A) Without the consent of Lender, but only upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Subsection (B) below and provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) any member of Sole Member who is a natural person may transfer

(B) Prior to and as a condition to any transfer or encumbrance described in Subsection (A) above (a “Permitted Transfer”), the Borrower Parties shall cause to be delivered to Lender (i) a written notice containing the proposed effective date, and all material terms, of such Permitted Transfer (which notice shall be delivered at least ten (10) days in advance of such proposed effective date); (ii) copies of all documents effectuating or otherwise relating to such Permitted Transfer; (iii) the costs and expenses of Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred and estimated to be incurred in connection with such Permitted Transfer; (iv) written affirmation by each Guarantor (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) that such Permitted Transfer will not affect the liability of Guarantor under its Guaranty; and (v) such other documents and materials as Lender may reasonably request, including without limitation, title insurance endorsements and opinions of counsel regarding enforceability and nonconsolidation. In addition to the foregoing, a Permitted Transfer of the ownership interest in Sole Member shall be subject to the prior (i) execution and delivery by the acquirer of such ownership interest of an assumption agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Lender) which shall provide for the assumption by such acquirer of all warranties, covenants, and liabilities of a Borrower Party under the Loan Documents; (ii) Borrower shall cause to be delivered to Lender an endorsement to Lender’s policy of title insurance in form and substance acceptable to Lender, in Lender’s reasonable discretion (the “Endorsement”); and (iii) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a payment in the amount of all remaining unpaid costs incurred by Lender in connection with the transfer, including but not limited to, Lender’s attorneys fees and expenses, all recording fees, and all fees payable to the Title Company for the delivery to Lender of the Endorsement.

Each Primary Borrower Party, jointly and severally, shall be personally liable in the amount of any loss, damage or cost resulting from (a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Borrower Party in connection with the Loan; (b) insurance proceeds, condemnation awards, or other sums or payments attributable to the Property which are delivered to or controlled by any Borrower Party and which are not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents; (c) all rents, profits, issues, products and income of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of any Borrower Party after an Event of Default (other than by Lender or Servicer) and not applied in accordance with the Loan Documents; (d) misappropriation of or failure to turn over to Lender, after an Event of Default, any tenant security deposits or rents collected in advance (other than by Lender or Servicer); (e) failure to pay transfer fees and charges due Lender in connection with any subordinate financing, or in connection with any transfer of all or any part of the Property, or any interest therein, or in connection with any transfer of any direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower (if Borrower is not a natural person or persons but is a corporation, partnership, trust or other legal entity); (f) failure by any Borrower Party or any other indemnitor or guarantor to comply with the covenants, obligations, liabilities, warranties and representations contained in the Environmental Indemnity or otherwise pertaining to environmental matters; (g) waste; (h) any Affiliate of Borrower asserting any claim, defense, or offset against Lender that Borrower has waived or agreed not to assert; (i) any failure of CELLC or any other Manager to properly deposit rents and other amounts received by Borrower or Manager into the Central Account or security deposits into the account specified by Lender; or (j) all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in collecting any amount due under the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 13
WAIVERS OF DEFENSES OF GUARANTOR AND SURETIES
To the extent that any Borrower Party (in this Article, a “Waiving Party”) is deemed for any reason to be a guarantor or surety of or for any other Borrower Party or to have rights or obligations in the nature of the rights or obligations of a guarantor or surety (whether by reason of execution of a guaranty, provision of security for the obligations of another, or otherwise) then this Article shall apply. This Article shall not affect the rights of the Waiving Party other than to waive or limit rights and defenses that Waiving Party would have (i) in its capacity as a guarantor or surety or (ii) in its capacity as one having rights or obligations in the nature of a guarantor or surety. This Article 13 shall not apply to the Guaranty, in recognition that provisions similar to this Article 13 are included therein.
Waiving Party hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of receivership or bankruptcy of any of the other Borrower Parties, protest or notice with respect to any of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties, setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of acceptance, the benefits of all statutes of limitation, and all other demands whatsoever (and shall not require that the same be made on any of the other Borrower Parties as a condition precedent to the obligations of Waiving Party), and covenants that the Loan Documents will not be discharged, except by complete payment and performance of the obligations evidenced and secured thereby, except only as limited by the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents. Waiving Party further waives all notices that the principal amount, or any portion thereof, and/or any interest on any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties to Lender is due, notices of any and all proceedings to collect from any of the other Borrower Parties or any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of their obligations, or from any other person or entity, and, to the extent permitted by law, notices of exchange, sale, surrender or other handling of any security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties.
Except only to the extent provided otherwise in the express contractual provisions of the Loan Documents, Waiving Party hereby agrees that all of its obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect, without defense, offset or counterclaim of any kind, notwithstanding that any right of Waiving Party against any of the other Borrower Parties or defense of Waiving Party against Lender may be impaired, destroyed, or otherwise affected by reason of any action or inaction on the part of Lender. Waiving Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, may have destroyed the Waiving Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other Borrower Parties.
Lender is hereby authorized, without notice or demand, from time to time, (a) to renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (b) to accept partial payments on all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (c) to take and hold security or collateral for the payment of all or any part of the obligations of any of the other Borrower Parties; (d) to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral for
78
such obligations; (e) to apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as in its discretion it may determine; (f) to settle, release, exchange, enforce, waive, compromise or collect or otherwise liquidate all or any part of such obligations and any security or collateral for such obligations. Any of the foregoing may be done in any manner, and Waiving Party agrees that the same shall not affect or impair the obligations of Waiving Party under the Loan Documents.
Waiving Party hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of all of the other Borrower Parties and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of such obligations, and Waiving Party hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise Waiving Party of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances.
Waiving Party agrees that neither Lender nor any person or entity acting for or on behalf of Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Waiving Party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations secured hereby. Waiving Party further agrees that, to the extent that any of the other Borrower Parties or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender receives any proceeds of collateral for any of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid or refunded, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, the part of such obligations which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the time immediately preceding such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction.
Waiving Party (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the obligations of the other Borrower Parties and (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy that Lender now has or may hereafter have against any of the other Borrower Parties, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of such obligations or any other person, and Waiving Party waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to Lender to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of such obligations or any other liability of the other parties to Lender.
Waiving Party agrees that any and all claims that it may have against any of the other Borrower Parties, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties, or against any of their respective properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all obligations secured hereby. Notwithstanding any right of any of the Waiving Party to ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive any payment from the other Borrower Parties, all rights, liens and security interests of Waiving Party, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any of the other Borrower Parties (whether constituting part of the security or collateral given to Lender to secure payment of all or any part of the obligations of the other Borrower Parties or otherwise) shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of Lender in those assets.

14.3 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the
80
same shall be in writing and signed by Lender and any other party to be charged. Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower or other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
14.4 Retention of Borrower’s Documents. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’s customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests in writing that same be returned. Upon such request and at such Borrower’s expense, Lender shall return such papers when Lender’s actual or anticipated need for same has terminated.
14.5 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and addressed to the respective party as set forth below. Notices shall be effective when actually delivered by any commercially reasonable means, provided that if such delivery occurs on any day other than a Business Day or after the close of business on any Business Day, the same shall be effective on the next Business Day. Further, notices sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by nationally recognized express courier service, shall be effective on the earlier of (i) actual delivery or (ii) refusal to accept delivery or on failure of delivery because the recipient address is not open to receive deliveries between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on any Business Day.

This provision shall not invalidate or impose additional requirements for the delivery or effectiveness of any notice (i) given in accordance with applicable statutes or rules of court, or (ii) by service of process in accordance with applicable law.

14.6 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Loan hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Note. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of the Borrower Parties to indemnify or release Lender or Persons related to Lender, or to pay Lender’s costs, expenses, or taxes shall survive the payment of the Loan and the termination of this Agreement.
14.7 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of any Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
14.8 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercises its rights of set off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set off had not occurred.
14.9 Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations

PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BORROWER PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (EXCEPT, AS TO THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE THEREIN), SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, IN WHICH CASE SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE CONTROLLING.
14.12 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that no Borrower Party may assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Article 11.
14.13 Sophisticated Parties, Reasonable Terms, No Fiduciary Relationship. The Borrower Parties represent, warrant and acknowledge that (i) they are sophisticated real estate investors, familiar with transactions of this kind, and (ii) they have entered into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents after conducting their own assessment of the alternatives available to them in the market, and after lengthy negotiations in which they have been represented by legal counsel of their choice. The Borrower Parties also acknowledge and agree that the rights of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are reasonable and appropriate, taking into consideration all of the facts and circumstances including without limitation the quantity of the Loan, the nature of the Property, and the risks incurred by Lender in this transaction. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create (i) any partnership or joint venture between Lender and Borrower or any other Person, or (ii) any fiduciary or similar duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. The relationship between Lender and Borrower is exclusively the relationship of a creditor and a debtor, and all relationships between Lender and any other Borrower Party are ancillary to such creditor/debtor relationship.
14.14 Determinations by Lender. In any instance where the consent or approval of Lender may be given or is required, or where any determination, judgment or decision is to be rendered by Lender under the Loan Documents, and the applicable Loan Document provides that Lender’s discretion in exercising such right or duty is “sole”, “absolute”, “exclusive”, or words of similar effect, then Lender may exercise such a right or duty at its sole and exclusive option and in its sole and absolute discretion. If such a right or duty of Lender is not so modified, or the applicable Loan Document provides that Lender’s discretion in exercising such right or duty is “reasonable” or words of similar effect, then Lender shall exercise such right or duty in a commercially reasonable manner. As part of Lender’s reasonable exercise of such right or duty,
83
