All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, "Easements"), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their current purposes and intended future use have been obtained and are in full force and effect without default thereunder (other than the Approved Inclusionary Air Rights). The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses, except to the extent any inadequacy in such service would not reasonably be expected to materially affect the value of the Property as intended to be used by Borrower. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property 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 absent a valid easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.16Physical Condition
.

The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
4.17Leases
. The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 2 (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.

4.18Fraudulent Transfer
. Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.

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 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).

.
8.2.1
|
Acceleration
|
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f), (g) or (h) 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, the Make Whole Premium, Exit Fees and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f), (g) or (h) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, the Make Whole Premium, Exit Fees 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 and during the continuance 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 has occurred and 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
|
. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
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 Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account, the Reserves or any other collateral.

Lender's Right to Perform

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

10.11Preferences
. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt.

Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
10.13Remedies of Borrower
. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case 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 monetary damages, and Borrower's sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower's behalf. Lender acknowledges that Borrower will expend significant time and sums of money in connection with the efforts to achieve the proposed development of the Property, and as such, Lender acknowledges that delay in the decision of any action brought by Borrower hereunder would be detrimental to Borrower and the Development of the Project and Lender hereby agrees that any action brought by Borrower or its affiliates against Lender for specific performance or otherwise to enforce the obligations of Lender hereunder may be resolved on an expedited basis, and Lender agrees that any such action may be determined based on a pre-answer motion made by order to show cause and/or pre-answer appearance.
10.14Prior Agreements

. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset 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.
10.16Publicity
. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any Affiliate of Lender, a Loan purchaser or the Servicer, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower's approval.
10.17No Usury
. 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.
10.18Conflict; 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.
10.19No 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.
10.20Assignment
. 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 Loan 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 Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
10.21Set-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.

. 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.
10.23 Waiver of Stay
. Upon the occurrence of a Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to the Borrower, relief from the automatic stay arising under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall automatically be granted in favor of the Lender, its successors and/or assigns, and Borrower (a) shall consent to and not contest or oppose any motion made by the Lender for such relief and shall not seek to reinstate the automatic stay pursuant to section 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) acknowledges and agrees that the occurrence or existence of an event of default under any of the Loan Documents shall, in and of itself, constitute "cause" for relief from the automatic stay pursuant to section 362(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.
10.24 Joint and Several
. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.
10.25 Contribution
. To the extent that any Borrower shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Debt constituting a portion of the Loan made to another Borrower hereunder or other Debt incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower (an "Accommodation Payment"), then the Borrower making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers in an amount, for each of such other Borrowers, equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Borrower's Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Borrowers. As of any date of determination, the "Allocable Amount" of each Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Borrower hereunder without (a) rendering such Borrower "insolvent" within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act ("UFTA") or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act ("UFCA"), (b) leaving such Borrower with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Borrower unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.
10.26 Make Whole Premium
10.27 . 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 (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Make Whole Premium End 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 all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Make Whole Premium applicable thereto. Such Make Whole 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 10.26, 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 Make Whole Premium; 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 Make Whole 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.
