Management Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender. The Cash Management Account shall be entitled “Xxxxxx Element LA, LLC, as pledgor, for the benefit of Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P. and Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company, collectively, as Secured Party – Cash Management Account,” or such other name as required by Lender from time to time. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management 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”). Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof, and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts, including, without limitation, filing or authorizing Lender to file UCC-1 financing statements and continuations thereof. Borrower will not in any way alter, modify or close the Cash Management Account and will notify Lender of the account number thereof. Lender and Servicer shall have the sole right to make withdrawals from the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts and all costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts shall be paid by Borrower. All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Cash Management Account and the Subaccounts shall be deemed additional security for the Debt. As of the date hereof, pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement, the Cash Management Account has been reserved the following number at Deposit Bank: 102-899-2253.
(b) Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, on each Payment Date during a Cash Management Period (or, if such Payment Date is not a Business Day, on the immediately preceding Business Day), all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be applied by Lender (or by Deposit Bank at Lender’s direction) to the payment of the following items in the order indicated:

(v) Fifth, payment to Lender of any other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance);
(vi) Sixth, payment to Borrower in an amount equal to the aggregate of (A) Operating Expenses due and payable by Borrower during the succeeding month as set forth in the Approved Annual Budget, and (B) Extraordinary Expenses, if any, approved by Lender (all amounts then remaining after payment of items (i) through (v) above and this item (vi), being hereinafter referred to as “Available Cash”);
(vii) Seventh, if a Guarantor Downgrade Sweep Event has occurred and is continuing, (A) payment to Lender, for deposit in the Riot Games Recourse Reserve Account and to
38
constitute Riot Games Recourse Reserve Funds, of all Available Cash until such time as the balance of Riot Games Recourse Reserve Funds on deposit in the Riot Games Recourse Reserve Account equals the amount of the outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts (all amounts then remaining after payment of items (i) through (vi) above and, if applicable, this item (vii)(A), being hereinafter referred to as “Remaining Available Cash”), and (B) if no other Cash Management Event has occurred and is then continuing, any Remaining Available Cash to Borrower;
(viii) Eighth, payment to Lender, for deposit in the Leasing Reserve Account and to constitute Leasing Reserve Funds, of all Remaining Available Cash; provided, however, that if the Cash Management Period then continuing is solely as a result of the continuance of a Tenant Major Event and no other Cash Management Event is then continuing, such payment of Remaining Available Cash to Lender for deposit in the Leasing Reserve Account shall be limited to an amount equal to the positive difference between (A) the applicable Leasing Reserve Account Cap and (B) the amount of Leasing Reserve Funds then on deposit in the Leasing Reserve Account prior to making any such payment of Remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date (the “Leasing Reserve Limited Payment”; and the positive difference between the Remaining Available Cash and the Leasing Reserve Limited Payment”, being hereinafter referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Surplus”); and
(ix) Ninth, if the Cash Management Period then continuing is solely as a result of the continuance of a Tenant Major Event and no other Cash Management Event is then continuing, any Leasing Reserve Surplus to Borrower.
(c) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(d) Notwithstanding Section 2.7.2(b) above, following the occurrence of an Event of Default and during the continuance thereof, all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion until the Debt has been paid in full.
(e) Borrower hereby agrees to reasonably cooperate with Lender with respect to any requested modifications to the Cash Management Agreement for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Prior to any Cash Management Period, on each Payment Date, Borrower shall cause the amounts described in Section 2.7.2(b)(i) through (v) to be paid to Lender in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents; and during any Cash Management Period, Borrower shall remit to the Cash Management Account the amount of any shortfall if the amounts contained therein are insufficient to make all such payments.
2.7.4 Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Funds shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. As used in this Section 4.1, “knowledge” as it pertains to Borrower, shall not include any knowledge garnered by Borrower solely (i) constructively, or (ii) through imputation. Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof that:
4.1.1 Organization. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority 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, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Property. The ownership interests of Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule II. Borrower (a) has complied in all material respects with its certificate of formation and limited liability company operating agreement, as applicable; (b) has maintained complete books and records and bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (c) has obeyed all limited liability company formalities required to maintain its status as, and at all times has held itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other entity (including, but not limited to, any Affiliate thereof); and (d) has all requisite limited liability company and other power and authority to conduct its business and to own its property, as now conducted or owned, and as contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the power and authority to do business in the state in which the Property is located. The signatory hereto has all necessary power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents on Borrower’s behalf to which Borrower is a party. Guarantor has the necessary limited partnership power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guaranty.
4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, will not conflict with or result in a material breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any material violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval,
43
authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, would materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Guarantor or the condition or ownership of the Property.
4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other material agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (p) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC-1 financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents, and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the
44
amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No Bankruptcy Action exists against Borrower, and Borrower has never been a party to a Bankruptcy Action. Borrower is not contemplating either a Bankruptcy Action or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any petition against it.
4.1.8 Intentionally Omitted.
4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or a “plan” as defined in and subject to Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (b) to Borrower’s knowledge, transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute or regulation regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans (within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA), in any case, which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) none of Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to Lender in writing. Except as forth on Schedule VIII attached hereto, none of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the two (2) years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or any Pension Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Pension Plan. The “benefit obligation” of all Pension Plans does not exceed the “fair market value of plan assets” for such plans by more than $15,000,000 all as determined by and with such terms defined in accordance with FASB ASC 715. Using actuarial assumptions and computation methods consistent with subpart I of subtitle E of Title IV of ERISA, the aggregate liabilities of each of Borrower, Guarantor and their respective ERISA Affiliates to all Multiemployer Plans in the event of a complete withdrawal therefrom, as of the close of the most recent fiscal year of each such Multiemployer Plan, could not reasonably be expected to have any material adverse effect upon (i) the ability of Borrower or Guarantor to perform their respective obligations under any of the Loan Documents, (ii) the enforceability or validity of any of the Loan Documents, the perfection or priority of any Lien created under any of the Loan Documents or the rights, interests or remedies of Lender under any of the Loan Documents, or (iii) the value, use, operation of, or cash flow from, the Property.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower and the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed, nor the use of the Property by Tenants pursuant to the terms of the Leases, will violate in any material respects (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or records, or material agreements affecting the Property or any part thereof. Neither the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor any other right to construct or to use the Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Property, except as may be disclosed in any Permitted Encumbrance.
45
4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data with respect to Guarantor and to the knowledge of Borrower, the Property, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower’s behalf by an authorized party thereof in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date thereof, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property and Guarantor as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as an office building, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the Property.
4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. 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 which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service the Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting the Property (which are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving the Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy. 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. There is no on-site sewage disposal system and the Property is served by a sewer system maintained by a Governmental Authority or property owners association.

4.1.16 Separate Lots. The Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a part of the Property.
4.1.17 Assessments. There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.
4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are enforceable by Lender (or any subsequent holder thereof) in accordance with their respective terms, subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally applicable to creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations. The Loan Documents are, as of the Closing Date, not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim
46
or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, and Borrower and Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.
4.1.20 Insurance. Borrower has obtained and has delivered to Lender certified copies of all Policies, with all premiums paid thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement. No claims have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any such Policies, and no Person, including Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would materially adversely impair the coverage of any such Policies.
4.1.21 Use of Property. The Property is used exclusively as an office building complex and other appurtenant and related uses, including any use allowable under the Riot Games Lease.
4.1.22 Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals required to be maintained by Borrower or with respect to the Property, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property as an office building complex (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect (or, in connection with tenant or capital improvements at the Property after the date hereof, will be obtained).

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower and the Property.

Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges.

(f) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income for Borrower and the Property for the most recent fiscal year and interim period (or such longer period as may be required by Regulation S-K if the Loan is not treated as a non-recourse loan under Instruction 3 for Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB) meeting the requirements and covering the time periods specified in Section 301 of Regulation S-K and Item 1112 of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization. Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any Tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender reasonably expects there to be, with respect to such Tenant or group of Affiliated Tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such Tenant or group of Affiliated Tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor; provided, however, that Lender acknowledges that Riot Games has no obligation under the Riot Games Lease to provide any such financial data to Borrower or Lender. All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to this Section 5.1.11(f) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in this Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be reviewed by independent accountants of Borrower reasonably acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB, Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such
57
financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section 5.1.11(f) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1.11(f). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act filing in connection with or relating to a Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender. In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.1.11(f), Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
(g) If reasonably requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, a list of Tenants (including all affiliates of such Tenants) that in the aggregate (i) occupy 10% or more (but less than 20%) of the total floor area of the Improvements or represent 10% or more (but less than 20%) of aggregate base rent, and (ii) occupy 20% or more of the total floor area of the Improvements or represent 20% or more of aggregate base rent, provided, however, that no such reporting shall be required with respect to Riot Games and the Riot Games Lease.
(h) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible), such further detailed information with respect to the operation of the Property and the financial affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender.
(i) Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible), financial information from any Tenant designated by Lender (to the extent such financial and sales information (i) is required to be provided under the applicable Lease and same is received by Borrower after request therefore or (ii) is provided to Borrower by the applicable Tenant even if such Tenant is not required to provide the same pursuant to its Lease).
(j) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) via electronic mail, FTP upload, website submission or any future commonly available technology reasonably acceptable to Lender and/or (iii) if reasonably requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files). Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Property and Borrower that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with any Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.
(k) Breach. If Borrower fails to provide to Lender or its designee any of the financial statements, certificates, reports or information (the “Required Records”) required by this Section 5.1.11 within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 5.1.11, Borrower shall pay to
58
Lender, at Lender’s option and in its discretion, an amount equal to $5,000 for each Required Record that is not delivered within fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof; provided, however, that (I) no payment shall be required in connection with the first failure to deliver any Required Record in a given calendar year, and (II) Borrower shall only be responsible for payment of the $5,000 fine noted in the foregoing clause if the written notice required to be delivered from Lender to Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding clause shall contain a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating “FINAL NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR A REQUIRED RECORD UNDER THE LOAN BY CANTOR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING, L.P. AND XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO 1861, 1901, 1901 1/2, 1925 AND 0000 XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX AND 00000 XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX, XXX XXXXXXX, XX 00000. SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE THE REFERENCED REQUIRED RECORD WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS, YOU MAY INCUR A MONETARY FINE IN THE AMOUNT OF $5,000”. In addition, if Borrower fails to deliver any Required Records to Lender within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 5.1.11, Lender shall have the option, upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to Borrower, to gain access to Borrower’s books and records, which, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be during normal business hours, and prepare or have prepared at Borrower’s expense, any Required Records not delivered by Borrower. In addition, it shall be an Event of Default if any of the following shall occur: (i) any failure of Borrower to provide to Lender any of the Required Records within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 5.1.11, if such failure continues for fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof, or (ii) in the event any Required Records shall be materially inaccurate or false, or (iii) in the event of the failure of Borrower to permit Lender or its representatives to inspect said books, records and accounts upon request of Lender as required by this Section 5.1.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the time periods provided by this Section 5.1.11(k) for delivery of any Required Record shall be extended day for day if (x) Lender has requested a Required Record which is not (A) identified with specificity in this Section 5.1.11, or (B) required to be delivered on a recurring basis, and (y) the information needed to deliver such Required Record is not reasonably accessible to Borrower within such fifteen (15) day period, in each case, for so long as Borrower is diligently pursuing such information.
5.1.12 Business and Operations. Borrower will continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property. Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Property.
5.1.13 Title to the Property. Borrower will warrant and defend (a) the title to the Property and every part thereof, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and (b) the validity and priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument and the Assignment of Leases, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever. Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any actual losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in the Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.
5.1.14 Costs of Enforcement. In the event (a) that the Security Instrument is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Security Instrument is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any mortgage prior to or subsequent to the Security Instrument in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of a Bankruptcy Action related to Borrower or an assignment by Borrower for the benefit of its creditors, Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, agrees that it/they shall be chargeable with and shall pay all costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and expenses, and court costs, incurred by Lender or Borrower in connection therewith and
59
in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.
5.1.15 Estoppel Statement.
(a) After written request by Lender, Borrower shall within ten (10) Business Days thereafter, furnish Lender with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the original principal amount of the Loan, (ii) the Outstanding Principal Balance, (iii) the Interest Rate of the Loan, (iv) the date installments of interest were last paid, (v) to Borrower’s knowledge, any offsets or defenses to the performance of the Obligations, if any, and (vi) that the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations of Borrower and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.
(b) Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender upon request, tenant estoppel certificates from each commercial Tenant leasing space at the Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; provided, however, that in the event, following Borrower’s use of commercially reasonable efforts, it is unable to satisfy the foregoing clause of this Section 5.1.15(b), and provided that the applicable Lease proscribes a form of estoppel certificate the applicable Tenant thereunder is obligated to provide, such form shall then be deemed satisfactory to Lender; and provided further, however, that unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1) time in any calendar year, other than any required in connection with a Securitization.
5.1.16 Loan Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan received by it on the Closing Date only for the purposes set forth in Section 2.1.4.
5.1.17 Performance by Borrower. Borrower shall in a timely manner observe, perform and fulfill each and every covenant, term and provision of each Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower and shall not enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender.
5.1.18 Confirmation of Representations. Borrower shall deliver, in connection with any Securitization, (a) one or more Officer’s Certificates certifying as to the accuracy of all representations made by Borrower in the Loan Documents as of the date of the closing of such Securitization in all relevant jurisdictions, and (b) certificates of the relevant Governmental Authorities in all relevant jurisdictions indicating the good standing and qualification of Borrower as of the date of the Securitization.
5.1.19 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of the Property.
5.1.20 Leasing Matters. Any Major Lease executed after the date hereof shall require the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon reasonable request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with true, correct and complete executed copies of all Leases, amendments thereof and any related agreements. All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates. All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable market rate terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially adversely affect Lender’s rights
60
under the Loan Documents. All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Security Instrument and the Lien created thereby and that the Tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower (a) shall observe and perform the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (b) shall enforce and may amend or terminate the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the Tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property involved, except that Borrower shall not terminate, or accept the surrender by one or more Tenants of, Leases which, in the aggregate, demise ten percent (10%) or more of the Net Rentable Square Footage of the Property in any given calendar year, unless by reason of a Tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property; provided, however, that no such termination or surrender of any Major Lease will be permitted without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld or unless such termination or surrender is specifically provided for in the Major Lease; (c) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits required pursuant to such Lease); (d) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (e) shall not, except with Lender’s prior written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, materially alter, modify or change the terms of any Major Leases, or any other Lease, if, after modification, such Lease would constitute a Major Lease, in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (f) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not enter into a Lease of all or substantially all of the Property without Lender’s prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all new Leases and all amendments, modifications, extensions, and renewals of existing Leases with Tenants that are Affiliates of Borrower shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. Lender shall have the right to require each new Tenant to execute and deliver to Lender a subordination, non-disturbance of possession and attornment agreement in form, content and manner of execution reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that in the event Lender has approved (or has been deemed to approve in accordance with the Loan Documents) a Lease and such Lease proscribes the form of estoppel certificate and/or subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement the applicable Tenant thereunder is obligated to provide, such form shall be deemed satisfactory to Lender. So long as no Event of Default then exists, Lender’s failure to respond to a request from Borrower for any approval under this Section 5.1.20 will be deemed Lender’s approval of such matters, so long as the following conditions have been met:
(a) if the request for approval relates to approval of a Major Lease, such Major Lease does not contain a purchase option, right of first offer/refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof or similar options to purchase the Property or any part thereof;
(b) the first correspondence from Borrower to Lender requesting such approval or consent is in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “FIRST NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT UNDER THE LOAN BY CANTOR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING, L.P. AND XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO 1861, 1901, 1901 1/2, 1925 AND 0000 XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX AND 00000 XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX, XXX XXXXXXX, XX 00000. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN EIGHT (8) BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED GRANTED”, and is accompanied by all other information and documents reasonably requested by Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such eight (8) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same;
61
(c) if Lender fails to respond or to deny such request for approval in writing within the eight (8) Business Day period described in clause (b) above, a second notice requesting approval is delivered to Lender from Borrower in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT UNDER THE LOAN BY CANTOR COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE LENDING, L.P. AND XXXXXXX XXXXX MORTGAGE COMPANY WITH RESPECT TO 1861, 1901, 1901 1/2, 1925 AND 0000 XXXXX XXXXX XXXXX AND 00000 XXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX, XXX XXXXXXX, XX 00000. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE (E.G., APPROVAL, DENIAL OR REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OR MORE INFORMATION) TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS, YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN”; and
(d) Lender fails to respond or to deny such request for approval in writing within the five (5) Business Day period described in clause (c) above.
5.1.21 Alterations. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld except with respect to any alterations to any Improvements which are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations (a) are either work performed pursuant to the terms of the Riot Games Lease or any other Lease approved or deemed approved in accordance with the terms hereof, or the costs for such alterations are adequately covered in the current Approved Annual Budget, (b) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements and (c) the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($200,000), or (d) are performed in connection with Restoration after the occurrence of a Casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed One Million and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender, upon Lender’s written request, as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for the Obligations any of the following: (i) cash or U.S. Obligations or (ii) an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution (y) having a rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender, and (z) with respect to which each Approved Rating Agency has issued a Rating Agency Confirmation. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.
5.1.22 Operation of Property.
(a) Borrower shall cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable. In the event that the Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of the Management Agreement in
62
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall: (i) promptly perform and/or observe in all material respects all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under the Management Agreement of which Borrower has knowledge; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under the Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.
(c) If (i) an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, (ii) the Manager shall be the subject of a Bankruptcy Action or become insolvent, (iii) a material default occurs under the Management Agreement, which continues beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, which shall include but not be limited to commission by Manager or Borrower of fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or misappropriation of funds, or (iv) fifty percent (50%) or more of the direct or indirect ownership interest in Manager has changed or Control of Manager has changed, then in each case Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender or a Qualified Manager, in each case on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender or otherwise substantially similar to those set forth in the Management Agreement approved by Lender on the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates (and in any event shall not exceed three percent (3.0%) of Gross Income from Operations per annum, from time to time).
(d) All Material Agreements shall be subject to the prior review and approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, of Lender.
5.1.23 Changes in the Legal Requirements Regarding Taxation. If any Legal Requirement or other law, order, requirement or regulation of any Governmental Authority is enacted or adopted or amended after the date the Loan is funded which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower must pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.24 No Credits on Account of the Obligations. Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Obligations for any payment of Taxes assessed against the Property and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property for real estate tax purposes because of the Loan Documents or the Obligations. If Legal Requirements or other laws, orders, requirements or regulations require such claim, credit or deduction, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable without the payment of any prepayment premium of any kind (including, without limitation, the Yield Maintenance Premium).
5.1.25 Personal Property. Borrower shall cause all of its personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the
63
Property to always be located at the Property and shall be kept free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances and security interests, except Permitted Encumbrances.
5.1.26 Appraisals. Lender shall have the right to obtain a new or updated appraisal of the Property from time to time, provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred Lender shall do so not more often than once in every twelve (12) month period. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in this regard. If the appraisal is obtained to comply with this Agreement or any applicable law or regulatory requirement, or bank policy promulgated to comply therewith, or if an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay for any such appraisal upon Lender’s request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that an appraisal is being requested in connection with a Securitization, such appraisal shall be subject to any limitation set forth in Section 9.2 hereof.
5.1.27 Ownership of Assets. Borrower shall promptly notify Lender if, at any time, any assets or liabilities which appear on the public filings of Xxxxxx Pacific Properties, Inc. are not assets and liabilities of Guarantor, and such notice shall describe with specificity the assets and/or liabilities of Xxxxxx Pacific Properties, Inc. that are not assets and/or liabilities of Guarantor, but solely to the extent such information has not otherwise been provided to Lender pursuant to this Agreement and Lender has not otherwise separately requested clarification on the matters described in this Section 5.1.27.
5.1.28 Compliance with O&M Program. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, until the Debt is repaid in full, Borrower shall implement and comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of that certain Asbestos-Containing Materials Operations and Maintenance Plan, dated September 30, 2015, prepared by Property Solutions Incorporated, a true and complete copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule V (the “O&M Program”). From and after the Closing Date, Lender may reasonably require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may specify in writing regarding performance under the O&M Program, (ii) one or more amendments to the O&M Program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrower's sole reasonable expense and no more than once per calendar year (absent an Event of Default), supplemental examination of the Property by consultants specified by Lender, and (iv) variation of the O&M Program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.
5.1.29 Cash Management Account.
(a) Pursuant and subject to the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, Borrower agrees that the Clearing Bank shall at all times be entitled to comply with all instructions originated by Lender, without further consent by Borrower, directing disposition of the Clearing Account and all sums at any time held, deposited or invested therein, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, and all proceeds thereof (including proceeds of sales and other dispositions), whether accounts, general intangibles, chattel paper, deposit accounts, instruments, documents or securities.
(b) The Clearing Account and Cash Management Account shall not, at any time, be held in the name of any Person other than Borrower, as pledgor, for the benefit of Lender, as secured party.
5.1.30 Guarantor Downgrade.
(a) In the event that as of or following April 1, 2023, a Guarantor Downgrade has occurred or shall occur at any time during which any of the Riot Games Recourse Amounts remain outstanding (whether or not then due pursuant to the terms of the Riot Games Lease), (i) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the occurrence of such Guarantor Downgrade, and (ii) within ten (10) Business
64
Days following such Guarantor Downgrade, Borrower shall either (A) make a cash deposit with Lender in the amount of such then outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts, which Lender shall deposit in the Riot Games Recourse Reserve Account, after which such deposit shall constitute Riot Games Reserve Account Funds and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.6 hereof, or (B) deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in the amount of such then outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts (a “Riot Games Recourse LOC”), which Riot Games Recourse LOC shall be governed by the provisions of clause (b) below (either of clause(ii)(A) or clause (ii)(B) above, a “Guarantor Downgrade Cure Action”).
(b) In the event that Borrower delivers a Riot Games Recourse LOC to Lender pursuant to clause (ii)(A) above, Lender shall hold such Riot Games Recourse LOC as security for the Riot Games Recourse Amounts in accordance with the following: (i) in the event that the entire Riot Games Recourse Amounts represented by such Riot Games Recourse LOC are (x) satisfied by Borrower in accordance with the Riot Games Lease and/or (y) waived by Riot Games in full, in each case as evidenced by a Riot Games Estoppel (all of the foregoing, a “Riot Games Recourse Satisfaction”), Lender shall promptly return the Riot Games Recourse LOC to Borrower, or (ii) in the event that any of the Riot Games Recourse Amounts shall become due and payable under the Riot Games Lease and Borrower shall fail to pay the same before the expiration of any grace period for the payment thereof pursuant to the Riot Games Lease, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to draw on the Riot Games Recourse LOC in full and deposit the entire proceeds thereof in the Riot Games Recourse Reserve Account, after which such proceeds shall constitute Riot Games Recourse Reserve Funds and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.6 hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any reduction in the amount of the outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts as a result of a partial Riot Games Recourse Satisfaction, Borrower shall have the right to replace the existing Riot Games Recourse LOC with a new or amended Riot Games Recourse LOC reflecting such reduced amount of the outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts. Additionally, if at any time (A) the institution issuing any Riot Games Recourse LOC shall cease to be an Approved Bank, (B) any such Riot Games Recourse LOC is due to expire, (C) with respect to an evergreen Riot Games Recourse LOC, Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that such Riot Games Recourse LOC will not be renewed, (D) Lender receives notice from the issuing bank that any such Riot Games Recourse LOC will be terminated (except if the termination of such Riot Games Recourse LOC is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement), or (E) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then Lender shall have the right to draw on the Riot Games Recourse LOC in full and deposit the entire proceeds thereof in the Riot Games Recourse Reserve Account, after which such proceeds shall constitute Riot Games Recourse Reserve Funds and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 7.6 hereof, unless, in the cases of sub-clauses (A) – (D) above, Borrower shall deliver a replacement Riot Games Recourse LOC from an Approved Bank within (I) as to sub-clause (A) above, twenty (20) days after Lender delivers written notice to Borrower that the institution issuing the Riot Games Recourse LOC has ceased to be an Approved Bank, or (II) as to sub-clauses (B), (C) and (D) above, within ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of such Riot Games Recourse LOC.
(c) In the event that as of or following April 1, 2023, a Guarantor Downgrade has occurred or shall occur at any time during which any of the Riot Games Recourse Amounts remain outstanding (whether or not then due pursuant to the terms of the Riot Games Lease) and Borrower shall fail to perform a Guarantor Downgrade Cure Action within ten (10) Business Days following such Guarantor Downgrade, such failure shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default but shall constitute a “Guarantor Downgrade Sweep Event” and shall be governed by the provisions of Sections 2.7.2(b) and 7.6 hereof. A Guarantor Downgrade Sweep Event can be cured by the occurrence of any of the following (each a “Guarantor Downgrade Sweep Event Cure”): (i) the performance by Borrower of a Guarantor Downgrade Cure Action, (ii) the balance of Riot Games Recourse Reserve Funds on deposit in the Riot Games Recourse
65
Reserve Account equaling the amount of the outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts, (iii) a full Riot Games Recourse Satisfaction having occurred, or (iv) a Guarantor Upgrade having occurred.
(d) As of any date of determination, the amount of the outstanding Riot Games Recourse Amounts shall equal the difference between (i) $ $1,420,185.00 (representing the amount of the Mid-Term Allowance) and (ii) any portion of the foregoing which has been satisfied by Borrower and/or waived by Riot Games, as evidenced by a Riot Games Estoppel.
5.1.31 Tenant Letters of Credit.
(a) Required Letter of Credit Actions. Unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing in its reasonable discretion, within ten (10) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of any Tenant Letter of Credit, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, do the following (collectively, the “Required LC Actions”) (provided, however, that with respect to any Tenant Letter of Credit, if Borrower is diligently pursuing the Required LC Actions but is delayed from completing the same as a result of the action or inaction of any third party who is not an Affiliate of Borrower, such period of time to complete the Required LC Actions in such instance shall be extended as reasonably necessary so long as Borrower continues to diligently pursue such completion of the Required LC Actions) :
(i) Provide Lender with the original of the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit and all amendments, restatements, endorsements and supplements thereto;
(ii) Cause the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit to be marked by the bank issuing such Tenant Letter of Credit (as applicable, the “LC Issuer”) with a legend or stamp evidencing the assignment by Borrower to Lender pursuant hereto of the right to receive all proceeds of such Tenant Letter of Credit; and
(iii) Obtain the written acknowledgement and consent of the applicable LC Issuer, in such LC Issuer’s standard form and otherwise in form and content reasonably satisfactory to Lender, evidencing such LC Issuer’s consent to the pledge and assignment to Lender, pursuant to this Agreement, of the right to receive all proceeds of such Tenant Letter of Credit (such proceeds to be held by Lender in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease and this Agreement).
(b) Amendments and Replacements of Tenant Letters of Credit. Borrower shall deliver to Lender, not later than three (3) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt thereof, copies of any new Tenant Letter of Credit and/or amendments to any Tenant Letter of Credit as may be delivered to Borrower as subsequent replacements or modifications of any Tenant Letter of Credit, together with any reaffirmation(s) of all or any of the Required LC Actions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable, and the fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with such reaffirmation(s) of the Required LC Actions shall be paid by Borrower.
(c) Maintenance of Tenant Letters of Credit; Rating of LC Issuer. Except as may be otherwise required by the applicable Lease or approved by Lender, in its sole discretion, each Tenant Letter of Credit shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount required under the applicable Lease unless replaced by a cash deposit or drawn in full or partial amounts in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease, (ii) be issued by an LC Issuer meeting the rating requirements set forth in the applicable Lease, and (iii) in all material respects comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and the terms of the applicable Lease. Borrower shall, promptly after Lender's request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing requirements.
66
(d) Security Interest in Tenant Letters of Credit and Proceeds Thereof. Borrower hereby pledges, transfers and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender, as additional security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, a continuing perfected first priority security interest in and to, and a first lien upon, each Tenant Letter of Credit, together with the Letter of Credit Rights (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC) with respect thereto and any and all other rights thereunder, including, without limitation, the right to any and all proceeds of the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Lender, from time to time, so that Lender shall obtain and maintain such first priority perfected security interest in the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery by Borrower of all security agreements, notices to the applicable LC Issuer and/or confirming banks and any other documents or instruments as Lender shall reasonably request to perfect, evidence the perfection of, and/or exercise its rights with respect thereto, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Lender shall execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably necessary to release Lender’s interests in and rights to the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit (and shall return same to Borrower if then in Lender’s possession) promptly upon the first to occur of (i) repayment of the Debt, or (ii) such earlier time as required under the terms of the applicable Lease.
(e) Notices of Default and Authorization to Draw Under Lease; Covenant to Make Authorized Draws; Delivery of Draw Proceeds to Lender. Borrower agrees to give Lender prompt written notice of any material default under any Lease or any guaranty or other document or instrument related thereto if such Lease or guaranty has a Tenant Letter of Credit in lieu of a security deposit, or the existence of any other circumstance or state of facts of which Borrower has knowledge giving rise to a right for the beneficiary under the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit to make any full or partial draw thereunder. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to make any such draw under the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit, and Borrower further covenants and agrees that, unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, make each such full or partial draw under the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit that it is authorized to make pursuant to the applicable Lease in accordance with the applicable provisions of the applicable Lease and the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit, it being understood and agreed by Borrower that the proceeds of any such Tenant Letter of Credit draw shall be paid directly to Lender and shall be deposited by Lender in the Cash Management Account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds of any Tenant Letter of Credit paid over to Lender in accordance with the foregoing are for the payment of Rents under the applicable Lease for multiple months, then on each Payment Date thereafter, only an amount equal to the amount of Rents due for the month in which such Payment Date occurs shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.7.2(b) and the balance of such proceeds shall remain in the Cash Management Account as cash collateral. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall be permitted to implement any or all of the Required LC Actions as Lender determines are necessary or desirable to confirm, maintain, perfect or otherwise implement Lender’s rights and security interests in and to the applicable Tenant Letter of Credit and the proceeds thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall be obligated to pay any fees, costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with any such implementation by Lender of all or any of the Required LC Actions, and any failure to pay or reimburse Lender for the same on or before ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written demand therefor shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
(f) Lender’s Right to Seek Injunctive Relief. Borrower’s covenants set forth in this Section 5.1.31 are material inducements to Lender having agreed to make the Loan to Borrower, and in the event that Borrower defaults, beyond applicable notice and/or grace periods, in its performance of any of its obligations under this Section 5.1.31, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that Lender may have with respect to such default, Lender shall have the right to seek and obtain injunctive relief or a declaratory judgment in order to enforce Borrower’s performance under this Section 5.1.31 permitted by
67
applicable law, and Borrower hereby waives any defense it may have to any such injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.
(g) No Other Assignments. Except in connection with the existing financing with U.S. Bank National Association that will be paid off with the proceeds of the Loan, Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (i) it has not granted any prior assignment of Riot Games’ Tenant Letter of Credit or any interest therein or right thereunder, whether under Section 5-114 of the UCC or otherwise, (ii) Bank of America, N.A. (as the issuer of Riot Games’ Letter of Credit) has not consented to any assignment under Section 5-114 of the UCC of Riot Games’ Tenant Letter of Credit or any interest therein or right thereunder, and (iii) Borrower will not grant any such assignment in the future with respect to Riot Games’ Tenant Letter of Credit or any other Tenant Letter of Credit, in each instance except to Lender.

5.2.7 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of all or any portion of the Property with (a) any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, or (b) any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the Lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property.

5.2.9 ERISA.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

Furthermore, if and to the extent a given Transfer qualifies (or could qualify) as being permitted pursuant to more than one clause of Section 5.2.10(d), then Borrower shall be entitled to elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, which clause of Section 5.2.10(d) shall govern such Transfer’s qualification as a permitted Transfer thereunder.

The amount of such loss of Rents or business income 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 Operations from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.7 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied at Lender’s discretion to (I) the Debt, or (II) Operating Expenses approved by Lender ; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the Debt, except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P and, if rated by Xxxxx’x, having a claims paying ability rating of A3 or better by Xxxxx’x. For multi-layered policies, if four or fewer 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, if rated by Xxxxx’x, having a claims paying ability rating of A3 or better by Xxxxx’x, with no carrier having a claims paying ability rating below “BBB” by S&P and, if rated by Xxxxx’x, below “Baa2” by Xxxxx’x, or 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, if rated by Xxxxx’x, having a claims paying ability rating of A3 or better by Xxxxx’x, with no carrier having a claims paying ability rating below “BBB” by S&P and, if rated by Xxxxx’x, below “Baa2” by Xxxxx’x.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may continue to use (i) Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company and (ii) Insurance Company of the West, in their respective positions and participation amounts within Borrower’s insurance syndicate, provided that Ironshore Specialty Insurance Company maintains a rating of “Baa1” or better by Xxxxx’x and Insurance Company of the West maintains a rating of “A-X” or better by AM Best. In the event the rating of either such insurer is withdrawn or downgraded below its rating on the date hereof, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender and replace such insurer with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth herein. At renewal of the current policy term on April 1, 2016, Borrower shall replace Insurance Company of the West with one or more insurance companies meeting the rating requirements set forth in this clause (b), other than this sentence. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or successor Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance
78
Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall supply an original or certified copy of the original policy within ten (10) days of request by Lender, provided that the policy is available.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender (and its successors and assigns) as Mortgagee, Loss Payee and Additional Insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that: (i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; (ii) the Policies on which Lender has the protection of a mortgage-holder clause shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender; (iii) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Lender.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. Subject to Section 6.3(b), if the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) provided insurance proceeds are made available to Borrower to do so, as and to the extent expressly required pursuant to Section 6.4(b), promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that the Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in (and have approval rights over) any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to
79
permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2, Section 6.3(a), and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan to Value Ratio (or, if the Subordinate Financing is outstanding, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio) is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust and will not be subject to a prohibited transactions tax as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Security Instrument.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) and the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), but less than Six Million and No/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00), or the costs of completing Restoration is equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), but less than Six Million and No/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00), the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not
80
limited to, reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration upon the approval of Lender in its sole but good faith discretion that the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property have been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) 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 on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the Net Rentable Square Footage which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be;
(D) Borrower shall commence Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be 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 Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease or Leases which, in the aggregate, demise ten percent (10%) or more of the Net Rentable Square Footage, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G) the Property and the use thereof after Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H) Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
81
(I) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(J) the Debt Yield (or, if the Subordinate Financing is outstanding, the Aggregate Debt Yield), after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 8.20%;
(K) the Loan to Value Ratio (or, if the Subordinate Financing is outstanding, the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio) after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or less than 57.1%;
(L) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; and
(M) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account (the “Net Proceeds Account”) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of 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 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 which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Retention Amount. The term “Retention Amount” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until Restoration has been completed. The Retention Amount shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in
82
Restoration. The Retention Amount shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Retention Amount; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Retention Amount being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in 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 related Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Retention Amount 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.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of 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 Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.
(vii) 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 Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with 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.
(c) If Net Proceeds are (i) equal to or greater than Six Million and No/100 Dollars ($6,000,000.00), (ii) not required to be made available for Restoration (due to Borrower’s inability to satisfy the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) or otherwise), or (iii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) (excluding any Net Proceeds Deficiency amount, which shall be promptly remitted to Borrower), then in any such event all Net Proceeds may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, in the sole discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its sole discretion. No Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment charge shall be payable by Borrower by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation.
83
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

7.1.1 Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Environmental Remediation Amount (such amount so deposited with Lender shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amount is held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Environmental Remediation Reserve Account”). Without limiting in any manner whatsoever (a) Borrower’s obligations under Section 5.1.1 hereof, or (b) Borrower’s and Guarantor’s obligations and indemnities under the Environmental Indemnity, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue Environmental Remediation No Action Letters as more particularly described on Schedule VII attached hereto (such commercially reasonable and diligent pursuit of the Environmental Remediation No Action Letters as described on said Schedule VII being hereinafter referred to as the “Environmental Remediation Work”). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds from the Environmental Remediation Reserve Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Environmental Remediation Work or toward reduction of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.1.2 Release of Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds. (a) Provided no Event of Default has then occurred and is continuing, upon the completion of the Environmental Remediation Work, as evidenced by Environmental Remediation No Action Letters delivered to Lender, all Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds then on deposit in the Environmental Remediation Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower. Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, Lender shall have no obligation disburse all or any portion of the Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds for any purpose.
(b) Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Environmental Remediation Work; (ii) require Lender to expend any Environmental Remediation Reserve Funds or any other funds to complete any Environmental Remediation Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Environmental Remediation Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower any sums to complete any Environmental Remediation Work.
(c) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenant under their Leases) and upon reasonable advance notice to inspect the progress of any Environmental Remediation Work and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Environmental Remediation Work. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.1.2(c).
84
With respect to any such entry on and inspection of the Property by Lender or any agent or representative thereof, Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its Affiliates from and against any actual loss, cost or damage incurred by Borrower or its Affiliates to the extent arising directly from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or any agent or representative thereof.
7.1.3 No Limit on Other Obligations. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that nothing in this Section 7.1 shall or shall be deemed to limit or vitiate in any manner whatsoever (a) Borrower’s obligations under Section 5.1.1 hereof, or (b) Borrower’s and Guarantor’s obligations and indemnities under the Environmental Indemnity.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow.
7.2.1 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Initial Tax Deposit on account of the Taxes next coming due and the Initial Insurance Premiums Deposit on account of the Insurance Premiums next coming due. Additionally, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) 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 respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to ratably accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least fourteen (14) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (the foregoing amounts so deposited with Lender are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). Notwithstanding the previous requirements of this Section 7.2.1, Lender shall waive Borrower’s obligations to (I) deposit the Initial Insurance Premiums Deposit, and (II) pay to Lender on each Payment Date the payment described in clause (b) of this Section 7.2.1, each for so long as the following conditions are met (any of which may be waived, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion): (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, (ii) the insurance coverage for the Property is included in a blanket policy insuring multiple properties and held by Borrower or an entity which Controls Borrower, which blanket policy is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, (iii) Borrower binds all applicable insurance prior to the then current expiration date of the blanket policy described in clause (ii) hereof, (iv) Guarantor shall satisfy the covenants set forth in Section 5.2 of the Guaranty, and (v) Borrower provides Lender evidence of renewal policies prior to the then current expiration date of the applicable policy (the conditions contained in the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), collectively, the “Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions”). If, at any time, Borrower fails to meet any one or more of the Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions (and Lender has not opted to waive such condition(s) in its sole and absolute discretion), commencing with the next applicable Payment Date and continuing on each Payment Date until such time as all Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions have again been met, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the product of (x) the resulting fraction where (A) the numerator is one (1), and (B) the denominator is the number of Payment Dates then remaining in the then current calendar year, and (y) the amount of Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable to obtain and subsequently retain policies of insurance which meet the requirements of Section 6.1 hereof. In addition to the foregoing, if Borrower fails to renew the policy or policies described in clause (ii) above by the date which is seven (7) days prior to the expiration thereof, Borrower agrees to notify Lender of such failure, and to keep Lender reasonably apprised of all developments in connection therewith, and if, following such notice, Lender reasonably believes that Borrower will be unable to bind the policy or policies described in clause (ii) prior to the expiration thereof, then Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with
85
such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
7.2.2 Disbursements from Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, 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 Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 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 Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower. 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 reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the due dates thereof, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and/or fourteen (14) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Additionally, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Property shall be Transferred (directly or indirectly) on or before April 1, 2020 and Lender reasonably believes that such direct or indirect Transfer will trigger a reassessment of the Property pursuant to applicable law, Lender shall have the right to increase the monthly payments to Lender on account of Taxes, retroactive to the date of such Transfer, based on the product of the gross consideration paid for such Transfer multiplied by the applicable mill rate or other applicable tax rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for so long as each of the Insurance Escrow Funds Waiver Conditions is met, Lender shall not disburse any of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds for the purposes of paying Insurance Premiums.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Funds. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date on which the amount on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account is less than the Replacement Reserve Cap, the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit (or the portion thereof necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account to equal the Replacement Reserve Cap), which is the amount reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Funds from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Account upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to properly maintain and operate the Property, provided that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may not reassess such amount more often than once every calendar year. Notwithstanding the previous requirements of this Section 7.3.1, Lender shall waive Borrower’s obligations to pay to Lender on each Payment Date the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit for so long as the following conditions are met (any of which may be waived, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion): (i) no Event of
86
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) no Cash Management Period under clause (a)(iv) of the definition of “Cash Management Period” contained in Section 1.1 has occurred and is continuing (the conditions contained in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions”). If, at any time, Borrower fails to meet any one or more of the Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions (and Lender has not opted to waive such condition(s) in its sole and absolute discretion), commencing with the next applicable Payment Date and continuing on each Payment Date until such time as all Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions have again been met, Borrower shall deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit (or the portion thereof necessary to cause the amount on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account to equal the Replacement Reserve Cap) in accordance with this Section 7.3.1.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Funds for the cost of Replacements incurred by Borrower upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each such disbursement: (a) Borrower shall submit Lender’s standard form of draw request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request shall specify the Replacements to be paid and shall be accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested; (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; and (c) Lender shall have received (i) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (A) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Replacements, and a description thereof, (B) stating that all Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement, (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement (subject to commercially reasonable retention), (E) stating that the Replacements to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (F) stating that all previous disbursements of Replacement Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Replacements, and (G) stating that all outstanding trade payables relating to the Replacements (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement) have been paid in full, (ii) a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection with the Replacements and not previously delivered to Lender, (iii) if required by Lender for requests in excess of $100,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment, (iv) at Lender’s reasonable option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the Replacements to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000 per disbursement. Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense during normal business hours with reasonable advance notice prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $100,000 for which reimbursement is sought. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if following Borrower’s failure to satisfy any of the Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions and Borrower’s deposit of Replacement Reserve Funds in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3.1, Borrower shall thereafter satisfy the Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions, then on the next Payment Date (so long as the Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions remain satisfied): (I) Lender shall disburse to Borrower all Replacement Reserve Funds then on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account, and (II) Lender shall waive Borrower’s obligation to make deposits of Replacement Reserve Funds in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.3.1 so long as the Replacement Reserve Funds Waiver Conditions continue to remain satisfied.
87
7.3.3 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5 Leasing Reserve Account.
7.5.1 Deposits of Leasing Reserve Funds. Commencing upon the occurrence, and continuing throughout the continuance, of any Cash Management Period, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date, all Remaining Available Cash existing on such Payment Date; provided, however, that if, and for so long as, the applicable Cash Management Period is solely the result of a Tenant Major Event and no other Cash Management Event has occurred and is continuing, then Borrower shall only pay to Lender on any Payment Date during such Cash Management Period, the Remaining Available Cash up to the amount necessary for the balance in the Leasing Reserve Account to equal the applicable Leasing Reserve Account Cap, which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for reimbursement of the costs associated with re-tenanting the Property. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Funds” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Leasing Reserve Account”. It is expressly understood and agreed by Borrower that in the event that any Cash Management Period is continuing as a result of any Cash Management Event other than a Tenant Major Event, all Remaining Available Cash on each Payment Date during such Cash Management Period shall be deposited in and remain in the Leasing Reserve Account and constitute Leasing Reserve Funds, even if the balance in the Leasing Reserve Account exceeds the Leasing Reserve Account Cap.
7.5.2 Withdrawal of Leasing Reserve Funds. Lender shall make disbursements from the Leasing Reserve Funds for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the re-letting of the Property (the “Re-tenanting Expenses”), in accordance with the terms hereof upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions with respect to each such disbursement: (a) Borrower shall submit Lender’s standard form of draw request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made, which request shall specify the Re-tenanting Expenses to be paid and shall be accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested; (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; (c) Lender shall have reviewed and approved the Lease giving rise to the Re-tenanting Expenses to be paid in accordance with the terms hereof, if such Lease requires Lender approval pursuant to the terms hereof; and (d) Lender shall have received (i) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (A) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Re-tenanting Expenses, and a description thereof, (B) stating that all tenant improvements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the tenant improvements to be funded by the requested disbursement or the broker entitled to the leasing commissions, (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement (subject to commercially reasonable retention), (E) stating that the Re-tenanting Expenses to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (F) stating that all previous disbursements of Leasing Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Re-tenanting Expenses, and (G) stating that all outstanding trade payables relating to the Re-tenanting Expenses have been paid in full, (ii) a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required in connection with the tenant improvements and not previously delivered to Lender, (iii) if required by Lender for requests in excess of $100,000 for a single item, lien waivers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with
88
the requested payment, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the Re-tenanting Expenses to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000 per disbursement. Lender may require an inspection of the Property during normal business hours with reasonable advance notice at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $100,000 for which reimbursement is sought. Without limiting the foregoing, upon the termination of any Cash Management Period in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and provided that no other Cash Management Period has commenced and is continuing), all Leasing Reserve Funds then on deposit in the Leasing Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower.
Section 7.6 Riot Games Recourse Reserve Account.
7.6.1 Deposits of Riot Games Recourse Reserve Funds. Pursuant to Section 5.1.30 and, if applicable, Section 2.7.2(b), amounts may be deposited with Lender on or after April 1, 2023 with respect to a Guarantor Downgrade.

(a) Borrower (i) hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Account as additional security for payment and performance of the Obligations and (ii) will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Reserve Funds, including, without limitation, filing or authorizing Lender to file UCC-1 financing statements and continuations thereof. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then
89
present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in any order in its sole discretion.
(c) Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Funds or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(d) The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Reserve Funds or any funds deposited in any Reserve Account may be deposited in interest-bearing accounts chosen by Borrower (except that funds deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account may, at Lender’s or any Servicer’s election, be deposited in interest-bearing accounts chosen by Lender or any Servicer); provided that (i) Lender and/or Servicer may elect to deposit funds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account independent of Borrower’s election with respect to other Reserve Funds, (ii) no Reserve Funds shall be invested except in Permitted Investments, (iii) Borrower shall select the Permitted Investments in which such funds shall be invested (other than with respect to funds deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, with respect to which Lender or Servicer shall select such Permitted Investments), except during the continuance of an Event of Default (in which case Lender or Servicer shall select such Permitted Investments), (iv) all interest earned or accrued thereon shall be for the account of Borrower (other than that with respect to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account, which shall be for the account of Lender (or, at Lender’s discretion, Servicer)), and (v) any interest or earnings for the account of Borrower shall not be paid to Borrower, but shall be retained by Lender or any Servicer, added to the balance of the applicable Reserve Account, and treated as the applicable Reserve Funds are treated hereunder for all purposes.

Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments; provided, that such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall not be responsible and shall have no liability whatsoever for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of any Reserve Funds in Permitted Investments, and Borrower shall bear all such risk.
(e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, out-of-pocket losses, actual damages (excluding punitive damages and consequential damages (other than punitive damages or consequential damages that are assessed against Lender, and other than any diminution in value or lost revenue which are in any way related to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Statutes)), obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, unless the same arise solely by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or its Servicer. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.
(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever any note comprising the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, that Lender agrees not to utilize such power

of attorney for the purposes stated in the foregoing clause of this Section 8.1.2(c) unless (i) Lender has requested that Borrower take an action or execute a document for the purposes stated in the foregoing clause of this Section 8.1.2(c) and, after five (5) Business Days, Borrower has failed to do so, (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, or (iii) Lender reasonably believes its rights under any Loan Document or the Collateral or the value of the Collateral are under an imminent threat of being impaired. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (I) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (II) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) Intentionally Omitted.
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to Tenant’ rights under the Leases, Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) are authorized to enter upon the Property to cure such Event of Default, and Lender is authorized to appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or otherwise protect the Property or the priority of the Lien granted by the Security Instrument.
(g) Lender may (i) at any time, appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Property, and (ii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or if Lender reasonably believes its rights under any Loan Document or the Collateral or the value of the Collateral are under an imminent threat of being impaired, may bring any action or proceeding, in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its sole discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Property. Lender shall, at its option, be subrogated to the Lien of any mortgage or other security instrument discharged in whole or in part by the Obligations, and any such subrogation rights shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Obligations.
(h) As used in this Section 8.1.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, a power of sale in accordance with applicable laws.
8.1.8 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event
94
of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

SPECIAL PROVISIONS
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Transfer of Loan. Lender may, at any time, in one or more separate transactions, sell, transfer or assign this Agreement, the Note (or any note comprising the Note), the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”) (any such sale, transfer, assignment, participation, offering and/or placement, collectively, a “Securitization”). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant or investor in such participations or Securities (collectively, the “Investor”) or any Rating Agency rating such Securities, each prospective Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of commercial mortgage loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan or to Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines reasonably necessary or desirable, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, the Property and any Tenant at the Property. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under law or in equity to prohibit such disclosure, including, but not limited to, any right of privacy.
Section 9.2 Cooperation. Borrower and Guarantor agree to reasonably cooperate with Lender (and agree to cause their respective officers and representatives to reasonably cooperate) in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Article IX, including, without limitation, the taking, or refraining from taking, of such action as may be necessary to satisfy all of the conditions of any Investor, the delivery of an estoppel certificate required in accordance with Section 5.1.15 hereof and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, the delivery of new acknowledgments of the type required pursuant to Section 5.1.31(a) from any LC Issuer to any transferee, and the execution of amendments to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as reasonably requested by Lender; provided that the reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs incurred for such cooperation by Borrower and Guarantor shall be paid by Lender and no changes to the Loan Documents shall be required which materially modify or increase the liability, or impair or diminish the rights of Borrower or Guarantor. Borrower shall also furnish and Borrower and Guarantor consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or prospective Investors or any Rating Agency any and all information concerning the Property, the Leases and the financial condition of Borrower and Guarantor as may be reasonably requested by Lender, any Investor, any prospective Investor or any Rating Agency in connection with any Securitization and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties against, and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, any actual out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages (excluding punitive damages and consequential damages (other than punitive damages or consequential damages that are assessed against an Indemnified Party, and other than any diminution in value or lost revenue which are in any way related to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Statutes)) or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Parties may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Disclosure Document or arise out of or are based upon the omission or omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document or necessary in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and agreeing to reimburse the Indemnified Parties for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by each of them in connection with
95
investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under this Section 9.2 only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have and shall survive the termination of the Security Instrument and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer, and trustee, together with its agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement, but Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the regular monthly master servicing fee or trustee fee due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement or any fees or expenses required to be borne by, and not reimbursable to, Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender on demand for (a) interest payable on advances made by Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses paid by Servicer or trustee in respect of the protection and preservation of the Property (including, without limitation, on account of Basic Carrying Costs), (b) all costs and expenses, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees payable by Lender to Servicer which may be due and payable under the Servicing Agreement (whether on a periodic or a continuing basis) as a result of an Event of Default under the Loan, the Loan becoming specially serviced, the commencement or continuance of any enforcement action of any kind with respect to the Loan or any of the Loan Documents, a refinancing or a restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” of the Loan Documents, or any Bankruptcy Action involving Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective principals or Affiliates, (c) all costs and expenses of any Property inspections and/or appraisals (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that Servicer or the trustee may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement), and (d) all reasonable costs and expenses relating to or arising from any special requests made by Borrower or Guarantor during the term of the Loan, including, without limitation, in connection with a prepayment, assumption or modification of the Loan.
Section 9.4 Restructuring of Loan.
(a) Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrower to restructure the Loan into additional multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes), to re-allocate principal among component notes and/or senior and junior notes and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to one or more of the foregoing or to one or more mezzanine loans (each a “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the newly-formed direct or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, the establishment of different interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided that (i) the total principal amounts of the Loan (including any component notes), any existing New Mezzanine Loan and the applicable New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the total principal amount of the Loan
96
and any existing New Mezzanine Loan immediately prior to the restructuring, (ii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default or a default beyond all notice and cure periods under the applicable New Mezzanine Loan, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan, any existing New Mezzanine Loan and/or the applicable New Mezzanine Loan, the weighted average interest rate of the Loan, any existing New Mezzanine Loan and the applicable New Mezzanine Loan, if any, shall, in the aggregate, equal the Interest Rate, and (iii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of Default and/or a default beyond all notice and cure periods under the applicable New Mezzanine Loan, or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan, any existing New Mezzanine Loan and/or the applicable New Mezzanine Loan, the aggregate debt service payments on the Loan, any existing New Mezzanine Loan and the applicable New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the aggregate debt service payments which would have been payable under the Loan and any existing New Mezzanine Loan had the restructuring not occurred.
(b) Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Note, the Loan and/or to create a New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall, upon ten (15) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, and further provided that such forms are substantially the same as the Loan Documents with any changes required to reflect the structure of the transaction and a pledge agreement and any related documents in Lender’s standard form, (i) execute and deliver such documents, including, without limitation, in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (ii) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (iii) create such a bankruptcy remote borrower under the New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the cases of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents if requested; provided, however, but subject to Section 9.4(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof, any such amendments required by Lender shall not result in any economic changes or other adverse change in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and no changes to the Loan Documents shall be required which modify or increase the liability, or impair or diminish the rights, of Borrower or Guarantor except to a de minimis extent. It is expressly understood and agreed by Borrower and Lender that the mere change in structure contemplated by this Section 9.4(b) shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to result in any economic changes or other adverse change in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or to modify or increase the liability, or impair or diminish the rights, of Borrower or Guarantor except to a de minimis extent and subject to Section 9.4(a)(ii) and (iii) hereof.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the reasonable, actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Borrower and Guarantor for cooperation in connection with, and preparation of any financial or other data or statements required in connection with, either this Section 9.4 or a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof (including, without limitation, the payment of any applicable mortgage recording taxes or title insurance premiums), shall be paid by Lender.
(d) In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents described in this Section 9.4 to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such written notice by Lender, and Lender sends a second notice to Borrower with respect to the delivery of such documents containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “POWER OF ATTORNEY IN FAVOR OF LENDER DEEMED EFFECTIVE FOR EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its
97
name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, if Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such second notice. Additionally, it shall be an Event of Default if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.4 after the expiration of ten (10) Business Days after the second notice thereof.

Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Subject to any express terms of the Loan Documents to the contrary, 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. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside 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 payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to, any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Further, it is agreed Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written
102
notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within thirty (30) days after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter. Failure to give such notice shall constitute a waiver of such claim.
Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all actual reasonable third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the cost of property reports) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including, without limitation, any opinions reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, either in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (including any fees and expenses reasonably incurred by or payable to Servicer or a trustee in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon Servicer’s anticipation of a Default or Event of Default, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s defaults under the Loan Documents), or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any other amounts required under Section 9.3; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent (x) Lender is responsible for the payment of such costs and expenses pursuant to the express terms of the Loan Documents, or (y) the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Clearing Account or the Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding punitive damages and consequential damages (other than punitive damages or consequential damages that are assessed against an Indemnified Party, and other than any diminution in value or lost revenue which are in any way related to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Statutes)), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs,

expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (the liabilities, losses, costs, expenses and other matters described in this clause (b), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to an Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
(d) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (excluding punitive damages and consequential damages (other than punitive damages or consequential damages that are assessed against an Indemnified Party, and other than any diminution in value or lost revenue which are in any way related to Hazardous Substances or Environmental Statutes)), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) to which each such Indemnified Party may become subject (i) in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities and (ii) insofar as the liabilities, losses, damages, actions costs and expenses so incurred arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated 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 unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
104
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Publicity. 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 or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that no such approval requirement shall be applicable with respect to any disclosures required to be made by Borrower or its parent pursuant to applicable law.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. 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.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. 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 they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent,
105
subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than Eastdil Secured. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Term Sheet dated August 14, 2015 between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Cumulative Rights. All of the rights of Lender under this Agreement and under each of the other Loan Documents and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in such combination as Lender may determine in its sole judgment.
Section 10.24 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such counterpart which is executed by the party against whom enforcement of this Agreement is sought.
Section 10.25 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.26 Consent of Holder. Wherever this Agreement refers to Lender’s consent or discretion or other rights, such references to Lender shall be deemed to refer to any holder of the Loan. The holder of the Loan may from time to time appoint a trustee or Servicer, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon written instructions executed by a purported officer of the holder of the Loan as to the extent of authority delegated to any such trustee or Servicer from time to time and determinations made by such trustee or Servicer to the extent identified as within the delegated authority of such trustee or Servicer, unless and until such instructions are superseded by further written instructions from the holder of the Loan.
Section 10.27 Successor Laws. Any reference in this Agreement to any statute or regulation shall be deemed to include any successor statute or regulation.
Section 10.28 Reliance on Third Parties. Lender may perform any of its responsibilities hereunder through one or more agents, attorneys or independent contractors. In addition, Lender may conclusively rely upon the advice or determinations of any such agents, attorneys or independent contractors in performing any discretionary function under the terms of this Agreement.
106
Section 10.29 Joint and Several Liability. Lender and Borrower acknowledge and agree that as of the date hereof, there is only one Borrower under this Agreement and, as a result, the remaining clauses (a) through (g) of this Section 10.29 have no effect as of the date hereof; provided, however, that if at any time more than one Person becomes subject to this Agreement as “Borrower,” then (i) the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several, (ii) from such date, each entity that constitutes Borrower (for purposes of this Section 10.29 only, each a “Borrower” and collectively, “Borrowers”) acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents, and (iii) in furtherance thereof, as of such date, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.
(b) To induce Lender to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Lender against, and hold Lender harmless from, any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury asserted against Lender by any Borrower or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of (i) reliance by Lender on any requests or instructions from any Borrower, or (ii) any other action taken by Lender in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(c) Each Borrower acknowledges that the liens and security interests created or granted herein and by the other Loan Documents will secure the Obligations of all Borrowers under the Loan Documents and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Loan Document:
(i) agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;
(ii) agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(iii) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof;
(iv) accept partial payments on the Obligations;
(v) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof;
(vi) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security for or guaranties of the Obligations, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine;
107
(vii) release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof; or
(viii) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Lender or by operation of applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent to the transfer of any such security and bid and purchase at any sale, and consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations of such Borrower or other Person, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing existence of any lien or security interest hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.
(d) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Lender at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and in collecting on the Loan it shall not be necessary for Lender to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Lender, in connection with Lender’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and Other Obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Lender may proceed against any Persons and/or collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion in connection with Lender’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Lender may file a separate action or actions against each Borrower to enforce the Obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Lender, each Borrower and/or any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The rights of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Lender as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times shall remain effective even though any or all Obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses to the enforcement of its Obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of Lender to marshal assets in favor of any of the Borrowers or any other Person, (v) any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations to any Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition, (vi) any failure of Lender to comply in any non-material respect with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation,
108
(vii) any act or omission of Lender or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or of any other Person or of any of the Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding with respect to any Person, (x) the election by Lender, in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy or similar proceeding of any Person, (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Lender securing the Obligations for any reason, or (xv) any bankruptcy or similar proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Obligations, and solely to the extent that, and despite the express intention of the parties hereto that laws of the State of New York govern this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the laws of the State of California govern this Agreement, Borrower: (A) waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for Borrowers’ obligations, has destroyed each of their rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and (B) waives any right to a fair value hearing or similar proceeding following a nonjudicial foreclosure of the Obligations, whether arising under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a or otherwise.
(e) Borrowers represent and warrant to Lender that they have established adequate means of obtaining from each other, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other and their respective properties. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Borrowers or the other Borrowers’ properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Lender during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the Obligations, Lender need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Borrower’s behalf.
(f) Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that it may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(i) Lender may collect on the Obligations from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrowers; and
(ii) If Lender foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by any Borrower for the Obligations: (A) the amount of the indebtedness owed by the other Borrowers may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Lender may collect from any Borrower even if Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.
109
(iii) This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. Solely to the extent that, and despite the express intention of the parties hereto that laws of the State of New York govern this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the laws of the State of California govern this Agreement, these rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property collateral provided by the other Borrowers to secure the Obligations and failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect such Borrower’s obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any liens created or granted hereby or thereby.
(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party, with respect to the Loan and all other Obligations, each Borrower hereby waives with respect to the other Borrowers and their successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person any and all rights at law or in equity, to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to set-off, to any other rights and defenses available to it (including, to the extent that, notwithstanding the express intention of the parties hereto that laws of the State of New York govern this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the laws of the State of California govern this Agreement, including without limitation those available under California Civil Code Sections 2787 and 2855, inclusive), or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker and which each of them may have or hereafter acquire against the other or any other Person in connection with or as a result of such Borrower’s execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party until the Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Borrower agrees that it shall not have or assert any such rights against any other Borrower or any other Borrower’s successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted set-off to any action commenced against such Borrower by any other Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or any other Person, until all the Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower’s liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.
(g) EACH BORROWER WARRANTS AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT EVENTS GIVING RISE TO ANY DEFENSE WAIVED MAY DIMINISH, DESTROY OR OTHERWISE ADVERSELY AFFECT RIGHTS WHICH EACH OTHERWISE MAY HAVE AGAINST THE OTHER, AGAINST LENDER OR OTHERS, OR AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL. IF ANY OF THE WAIVERS OR CONSENTS HEREIN IS DETERMINED TO BE CONTRARY TO ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY, SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SHALL BE EFFECTIVE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
Section 10.30 Borrower’s Waiver. Solely to the extent that, and despite the express intention of the parties hereto and the parties to the Guaranty that the laws of the State of New York govern both this Agreement and the Guaranty, a court of competent jurisdiction finds that the laws of the State of California govern this Agreement and/or the Guaranty, Borrower hereby waives all of its rights under California Civil Code Section 2822, which provides as follows: “(a) The acceptance, by a creditor, of anything in partial satisfaction of an obligation, reduces the obligation of a surety thereof, in the same measure as that of the principal, but does not otherwise affect it. However, if the surety is liable upon only a portion of an obligation
110
and the principal provides partial satisfaction of the obligation, the principal may designate the portion of the obligation that is to be satisfied; and (b) For purposes of this Section and Section 2819, an agreement by a creditor to accept from the principal debtor a sum less than the balance owed on the original obligation, without the prior consent of the surety and without any other change to the underlying agreement between the creditor and principal debtor, shall not exonerate the surety for the lesser sum agreed upon by the creditor and principal debtor.”

1. INTRODUCTION
This Asbestos-Containing Materials (ACMs) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program has been developed by Property Solutions for the following facility (subject property):
Element LA
1861, 1901, 1925, and 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx and 00000 Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000
NOTE: This ACM O&M Plan was developed based upon a Phase I Environmental Assessment draft report dated September 3, 2015 (Property Solutions Project No. 20151462.100). This ACM O&M Plan was further developed based upon the age of the subject buildings.
This Asbestos-Containing Materials O&M Program has been prepared with the following goals:
To alert workers and building occupants to the location of asbestos containing material (ACMs) located at the subject property.
To minimize the potential release of asbestos fibers during maintenance and renovation activities.
The purpose of this O&M Program is not to prepare the subject property maintenance workers for asbestos abatement activities or routine asbestos O&M activities. Rather, the purpose of this O&M Program is to allow workers and occupants to live and work safely in buildings which contain asbestos containing materials (ACMs).
All asbestos-related projects conducted at the subject property (emergency and routine) will be conducted by a qualified and licensed Asbestos Abatement Contractor under the direction of a qualified and licensed Environmental Consultant.
1.1 Definitions
Several definitions pertinent to an Operations and Maintenance Program as identified in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR) 763.83 are:
Asbestos Containing Material (ACM): when referring to buildings, this means any material, which contains more than one percent (1%) asbestos.
Asbestos Containing Building Material (ACBM): means surfacing ACM, thermal system insulation ACM, or miscellaneous ACM, that is found in or on interior structural members or other parts of a building.
Asbestos Debris: means pieces of ACBM that can be identified by color, texture, or composition; or means dust, if the dust is determined by an accredited inspector to be ACM.
20151462.130
Operations and Maintenance Plan: means a written plan which sets-forth the policies and requirements which will be the basis for the Operations and Maintenance Program.
1
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program: means a program of work practices to maintain friable or non friable ACBM in good condition, to insure cleanup of asbestos fibers previously released and to prevent further release by minimizing and controlling damage to friable ACBM.
Fiber Release Episodes: means any uncontrolled or unintentional disturbances of ACBM resulting in visible emissions.
Friable: when referring to material in a building, means that the material, when dry, may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure, and includes previously non- friable material after such previously non-friable material becomes damaged to the extent that, when dry, it may be crumbled, pulverized, or reduced to powder by hand pressure.
High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA): is a filtering system capable of trapping and retaining at least 99.97% of all non dispersed particles 0.3 millimeters in diameter or larger.
Removal: means the taking out or the stripping of substantially all ACBM from a damaged area, functional space, or homogeneous area in a building.
Repair: means returning damaged ACBM to an undamaged condition or to an intact state so as to prevent fiber release.
Response Action: means a method, including removal, encapsulation, enclosure, repair, operations and maintenance, that protects human health and the environment from friable ACBM.
Routine Maintenance Area: is an area, such as a boiler room or mechanical room, that is not normally frequented by tenants and in which maintenance employees or contract workers regularly conduct maintenance activities.
The Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Plan for the subject property is designed to help workers and tenants to avoid exposures to suspect Asbestos Containing Materials (ACMs) that have been identified during a review of the facility. The elements of this Plan should consist of at least the following:
1.2 Asbestos Coordinator Responsibilities
The property owners or management company should appoint an Asbestos Coordinator or contract with an individual or an independent company to administer the O&M Program. This person should be knowledgeable of the amount, location, and hazards of the ACM located on the subject property. The Asbestos Coordinator’s responsibilities should include but not be limited to:
Should have a good understanding of the extent of the ACM located at the subject property and the costs associated with the removal or repair of these materials.
Should be capable of establishing contracts with the appropriate technical experts or health professionals so that removal or repair of ACM minimizes exposures and complies with the existing state, federal and local requirements.
Should be capable of training or contract for training for all personnel who are involved with the management of ACM, which has been identified to be managed under this Plan. For the purposes of this O&M Program, training for on-site workers will be comprised of an Asbestos Awareness
2
Program. The purpose of the Asbestos Awareness Program will be to inform workers of the location of ACMs at the property and how to work safely around them. Specific elements of this Asbestos Awareness Program are discussed in Section 8.0 (Training) of this report.
Should be capable of identifying, labeling and periodically evaluating the potential asbestos hazards at the subject property.
Should be capable of prioritizing abatement efforts and implementing programs, which will contain long and short-term programs.
Should be capable of evaluating all options of ACM control and arrange for the proper abatement by a qualified contractor when deemed necessary. The Coordinator should thoroughly consider any decision to remove ACM. In situations where ACM must be removed such as when building renovations are to occur, when the ACM has sustained a great deal of damage, or when the ACM will be difficult to properly manage, the Coordinator will engage the services of qualified, trained, and experienced designers and contractors to design and execute the work.
Should implement a record keeping system to document, verify, and report all activities associated with possible ACM exposure.
1.3 Plan Philosophy
The purpose of this O&M Program is to minimize access and exposure to all known ACM at the subject property by informing all affected personnel (e.g. management, maintenance, trade contractors, etc.) of its location, and instructing them to report any damage to the ACM which they observe. There is a possibility of contact or disturbance through normal maintenance activity. A documented inspection of the ACMs located at the subject property should be conducted at least twice per year for damage and/or deterioration (additional inspections should be performed following any catastrophe, e.g. fire, roof leaks, storm damage, flooding, etc.). Typically, the Asbestos Coordinator or their representative can conduct this routine inspection.
In addition to the tasks which are outside of the scope of this O&M Program, the following activities are prohibited for all facility employees, outside service contractors and building occupants. It is important that these prohibitions are not violated to ensure a safe working and living environment for workers and occupants of the subject property.
1Do not disturb ACM.
2Do not damage ACM or allow it to become damaged.
3Do not attach items to ACMs.
4Do not drill, sand, saw, cut, core or otherwise impact ACMs.
5Do not use a regular vacuum cleaner to clean asbestos debris.
6Do not use ACM to replace or repair ACM.
Facility employees are not to perform asbestos O&M activities or asbestos abatements (such as asbestos removal, repair, etc). Rather, asbestos O&M activities and asbestos abatements are to be performed by qualified and licensed asbestos contractors.
2.0 NOTIFICATION
2.1 Summary of Visual Review
3
The subject property underwent a complete gut in 2014; therefore, no suspect and/or presumed friable/non-friable materials were observed in the subject buildings. However, as no asbestos survey or abatement documentation was provided, ACMs may be present in concealed locations within the subject buildings.
Materials which are present in a subject building constructed prior to 1981, and have not been analytically tested and determined to be non-ACM are presumed to contain asbestos and treated accordingly. Property Solutions, therefore, recommends that prior to the performance of any renovations, remodeling, demolition or repairs by the in-house maintenance or engineering staff or outside contractors, verification sampling of PACMs and SACMs should be performed to ensure that no asbestos containing materials will be impacted. Any abatement or removal of asbestos containing materials must be performed in accordance with applicable federal, state and local regulations. Damaged ACMs should be removed or repaired in accordance with applicable federal, state, and local regulations prior to the commencement of work activities. Based on the date of construction, additional potential asbestos containing materials may be located on the subject property. As per OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910 et seq.), building owners are required, under certain circumstances to notify maintenance people and all those potentially exposed to presumed asbestos fibers at the facility of the presence and location of materials which contain (or are presumed to contain) asbestos.
2.2 Future Renovation, Demolition and Maintenance
It is important to understand that the presence of asbestos in a building can only be determined by collecting appropriate bulk samples of suspect materials and having them analyzed by a qualified laboratory. Only individuals who are properly trained and/or certified as inspectors by appropriate agencies are authorized to collect bulk samples of suspect asbestos-containing materials (refer to 29 CFR Chapter XVII (July 1, 1995 edition) OSHA Section 1926.1101, paragraph (k) Communication of hazards).
The following is a list of common suspect ACMs. This list does not include every product and material which could contain asbestos. Rather, it is intended as a general guide to show which types of materials may contain asbestos.
SAMPLE LIST OF SUSPECT ASBESTOS-CONTAINING MATERIALS
Acoustical Plaster
Adhesives Asphaltic Floor Tile Base Flashing Blown-in Insulation Boiler Insulation
Breeching Insulation Caulking/Putties
Ceilings Tiles and Lay-in Panels Cementitious Panels Cementitious Pipes Cementitious Siding Cementitious Wallboard Chalkboards
Construction Mastics (floor tile, carpet, and ceiling tile) Cooling Tower Siding Panels and Cascade Slats Decorative Plaster
4
Ductwork Flexible Fabric Connections (Vibration Isolators) Electrical Cloth
Electrical Panel Partitions Electrical Wiring Insulation Elevator Brake Shoes Elevator Equipment Panels Fire Blankets
Fire Curtains Fire Door Cores
Fireproofing Materials (for wall/floor penetrations) Flooring Backing
Heating and Electrical Ducts High Temperature Gaskets HVAC Duct Insulation
Joint Compounds Laboratory Gloves
Laboratory Hoods/Table Tops
Pipe Insulation (corrugated air-cell, block lagging, etc.)
Roofing Felt
Roofing Shingles
Spackling Compounds Spray-Applied Insulation Textured Paints/Coatings Thermal Paper Products Vinyl Floor Tile
Vinyl Sheet Flooring Vinyl Wall Coverings Wallboard
If at any time during maintenance activities (asbestos-related or otherwise), renovation activities or demolition activities suspect asbestos-containing materials (not addressed in this document) are identified at the subject property by facility staff, outside contractors or asbestos abatement contractors; Property Solutions recommends that the Asbestos Program Coordinator have these materials sampled by a qualified and licensed Environmental Consultant. These samples should then be submitted and analyzed by a qualified and accredited laboratory for asbestos content. Should further asbestos containing materials be identified at the subject property, Property Solutions recommends that these materials be addressed in an appropriate manner by a qualified Environmental Consultant as an addendum to this O&M Program.
With regard to the asbestos containing materials located on the subject property, Property Solutions recommends that the Asbestos Coordinator carefully monitors demolition, maintenance or renovation activities, which have the potential to damage these materials. If demolition, maintenance or renovation activities performed at the subject property do have the potential to damage the ACMs or PACMs, Property Solutions recommends that these materials be removed from the subject property by an asbestos abatement contractor and disposed of in accordance with applicable local, State and Federal regulations, prior to work activities.
2.3 Notice to Tenants
The building owner should inform workers, occupants and tenants about the location and physical condition of the ACMs located in the subject property and stress to them the importance of not disturbing these materials. Tenants should be notified for two reasons: (1) because of a potential hazard in their
5
vicinity and (2) informed tenants are less likely to knowingly disturb ACMs and cause fibers to be released into the air. This can be accomplished by distributing written notices, copies of the semi-annual or annual reinspection reports or posting of signs (not necessary in most instances), and written notice to new tenants at the time of leasing. The management of the subject property should inform commercial tenants who are renting space within the subject building that they must not conduct renovati n or maintenance activities
within their space without the consent of the Asbestos Coordinator.
2.4 Emergency Response
The following section addresses asbestos emergency situations at the subject property. An example of an asbestos emergency might be a renovation or repair operation which accidentally causes damage to asbestos containing pipe insulation and exposes building occupants to friable asbestos.
In the event of the occurrence of an asbestos-related emergency at the subject property, the following procedures will be employed:
• | Immediately upon notice of the emergency, the party involved will vacate the area of involvement and immediately contact the Asbestos Coordinator and/or their designer at the facility. |
• | The Asbestos Coordinator will contact a licensed, qualified asbestos abatement contractor who will take action to immediately isolate the area of involvement from the rest of the building by evacuating any unnecessary personnel from the area, turning off or isolating all air-moving equipment in the area, isolating the area by closing off all entryways, and posting warning signs indicating the presence of a hazardous area. |
• | If the occurrence is of such a size that an accredited designer must design a response action, no further work will be done and the area will remain isolated until the appropriate repair/maintenance activity will commence. |
• | Following completion of the repair/maintenance activities, the Asbestos Coordinator will document the asbestos emergency. This documentation should include the location of the asbestos emergency, the amount of asbestos containing materials involved in the asbestos emergency, the name of the asbestos abatement contractor, waste manifests for the asbestos removed from the subject property, etc. |
2.5 Management Overview
The Asbestos Coordinator should prepare a “Management Overview” statement and have it available to distribute to tenants or property personnel as necessary or desired. A copy of this type of statement can be found in the “Forms” section of the O&M Program. It should be noted that the property owner’s attorney should be consulted prior to distributing this type of notice to tenants.
2.6 Notice to Employees
The Asbestos Coordinator should prepare a notice or statement to distribute to all employees and have all employees acknowledge receipt of this notice in writing. This statement is not designed to be a waiver of the employees’ rights under the law, but rather as an acknowledgment that the employee has been informed of the presence of ACM and its location and condition. A copy of statement can be found in the “Forms” section of this program.
6
2.7 Notice from Outside Contractors
Should the nature of maintenance, repair, or emergency activities require that an outside asbestos abatement contractor be called in to perform the work, the Asbestos Coordinator can either contract with Property Solutions or another environmental firm to ensure compliance with regulatory agencies. At a minimum, the Environmental Consultant will verify the following:
• | Notification to the USEPA and other appropriate agencies, if the scope of the abatement project is large enough to require notification. |
• | Proof that the contractor’s workers are accredited, certified, or licensed and that they are properly trained. |
• | Copies of respiratory protection, medical surveillance and worker training documentation as required by OSHA, EPA and/or State regulatory agencies. |
• | Notification to building occupants and visitors that abatement activity is underway. |
• | Assurance that the contractor will use proper work practices and work area isolation techniques, proper equipment and sound waste disposal activities. |
• | Provisions for inspection of the area by the owner’s representative to ensure that the area is acceptable for re-entry by occupants. |
• | Criteria to be used for determining completion of the work (e.g. visual inspections and air monitoring). |
3.0 SURVEILLANCE
3.1 Worker Awareness
Visual reinspection of all ACM should be conducted at regular intervals of the O&M Program, and can be accomplished by management/maintenance personnel during their normal course of duties. Workers should be trained and encouraged to always be aware of the location and current condition of the ACM or any new suspect materials, and to report their observations to the Asbestos Coordinator.
3.2 Professional Reinspection
At least annually, the O&M Program and ACMs condition must be reinspected by a qualified
environmental firm or asbestos building inspector, to re-assess the effectiveness of the O&M
Program and the physical condition of the ACM.
4.0 WORK CONTROLS
4.1 Work Permit Program
The O&M Program should include a system to control all work that could disturb ACM. It is the responsibility of the Asbestos Coordinator for the subject property to enact such a system. Some building owners/managers have success in using a “work permit” program, which requires the person requesting the work to submit a Job Request Form to the Asbestos Coordinator before any maintenance or repair work is begun. Therefore, before maintenance or renovation work begins at the subject
7
property, the asbestos coordinator will be able to determine the potential for asbestos containing materials to be impacted, arrange for the sampling and analysis of suspect asbestos containing materials and arrange for the removal of confirmed asbestos containing materials that may be adversely impacted by proposed work activities.
A form should be completed at the time and location of the requested work indicating the type of maintenance/repair needed and available information about any ACM in the vicinity of the requested work. The contractor or other person authorized to perform the work should be identified on the work request. Upon receiving a Job Request Form, The Asbestos Coordinator should take the following steps:
• | Refer to written records, building plans and any ACM inspection reports to determine whether ACM is present in the area where the work is to be performed. If ACM is present, but it is not anticipated that the material will be disturbed, the Asbestos Coordinator should note the presence of the ACM on the permit form and provide additional instructions on the importance of not disturbing the ACM. |
• | If ACM is both present and likely to be disturbed, the Asbestos Coordinator or a designated supervisor qualified by training and experience, should visit the site and determine what work practices should be instituted to minimize the release of asbestos fibers during the work activity. Asbestos abatement activities may be necessary to remove an asbestos hazard from a potential work area prior to the commencement of work activities. |
• | All requests and authorization forms should be clearly marked or recorded and placed in the permanent file. |
4.2 Contractor Notification
Prior to performing maintenance/repair activities, outside contractors should be required to submit the above-mentioned work permit form for approval. Additionally, all outside contractors should be required to sign a notification form, which indicates that they were informed that there is ACM present.
5.0 WORK PRACTICES
All asbestos-related projects (routine and emergency) will be conducted by a qualified, licensed asbestos abatement contractor; not by facility staff.
5.1 Asbestos Abatement Options
Property Solutions recommends that asbestos containing materials at the subject property be removed from the subject building prior to renovation, maintenance or demolition activities which may adversely impact (damage) the asbestos containing materials. However, other abatement options do exist in the asbestos control industry. The purpose of this section is to describe other abatement options, which the asbestos coordinator may wish to consider when dealing with asbestos containing materials in the buildings at the subject property.
8
The USEPA Green Book (1990) defines asbestos abatement as follows:
“Procedures to control fiber release from asbestos-containing materials in a building or to remove it entirely. These may involve removal, encapsulation, repair, enclosure, encasement, and operations and maintenance programs.”
For the purposes of this O&M Program, the following abatement options should be considered for the ACMs located at the subject property:
1 | Removal: The removal option for ACMs entails the elimination of an asbestos hazard from a given space. The advantage to this form of abatement is that the asbestos hazard is permanently removed from the space, eliminating the need for asbestos operations and maintenance activities within that space. However, the removal of asbestos containing materials generally necessitates the installation of replacement materials. In addition, improper removals of ACMs may result in an increase in asbestos fiber levels in a given space. It should be noted that removal of ACMs is generally the most expensive abatement option in terms of initial investment. |
2 | Repair: Repair of ACMs at the subject property should entail the reestablishing of the integrity of the asbestos containing materials at the subject property. |
3 | Enclosure: The enclosure option for ACMs entails the construction of airtight walls and ceilings around the ACM. The advantage to this form of abatement is that, theoretically, the construction of an airtight enclosure will limit the exposure of an asbestos hazard to the area within the enclosure. In addition, the cost for the construction of enclosures around ACMs is generally less than the cost for a removal and replacement materials (such as insulation) are not necessary. However, there are disadvantages to the enclosure abatement option. These disadvantages are discussed as follows. In spite of the fact that the ACM has been enclosed, ACMs are still present on the subject property and will have to be removed at sometime in the future (prior to demolition or during major renovations). Also,damage to the ACM and the continuation of fiber release will continue within the enclosure. When asbestos enclosures are present on the subject property, it is necessary to institute special O&M procedures to control access within these enclosures when maintenance and repairs must occur. Periodic re-inspections of enclosure integrity are necessary to check for damage. Fiber release episodes may occur during the construction of enclosures around ACMs. Finally, when all of the above-mentioned disadvantages are considered it is possible that the long-term cost for an enclosure project could exceed that cost of a removal project. |
5.2 Small Scale/Short Duration Activities
1. | USEPA defines small-scale, short duration maintenance activities as, but not limited to: |
• Removal of small sections of ACM insulation on pipes.
• | Removal of small quantities of ACM insulation on beams or above ceilings. |
• | Removal of ACM gaskets on valves. |
• | Removal or installation of a small section of drywall. |
9
•Installation of electrical conduits through or approximate to ACM. Small scale is further defined as:
• | Removal of small quantities of ACM, only if required as part of maintenance activity not intended as asbestos abatement. |
• | Removal of ACM thermal system insulation in quantities no greater than can be contained in one glove bag. |
• | Minor repairs to damaged thermal system insulation requiring no removal of ACM. |
• | Repairs to ACM wallboard. |
• | Repairs involving encapsulation, enclosure or removal to a small amount of friable ACM, only if required in performance of an emergency or a routine maintenance activity not intended as asbestos abatement. The work may not exceed amounts greater than those which can be contained in a singe prefabricated mini-enclosure. This enclosure must conform spatially and geometrically to the localized work area in order to perform its intended containment function. |
2. | USEPA defines a minor fiber release episode as the falling or dislodging of less than or equal to three square or linear feet of friable ACBM. |
3. During the process of performing small-scale, short duration asbestos renovation or
maintenance tasks, the following procedures will be utilized by a qualified, licensed asbestos abatement contractor:
• | The area will be isolated with physical barriers, whenever possible, restricting entry only to those persons necessary to perform the task. Warning signs will be posted at all entry points to the area. |
• | All HVAC ducts, windows, and other sources of air circulation to the area will be sealed. Where and when necessary, the air handling system will be shut off or modified to meet this need. |
• | If a fiber release has occurred, the entire area will be precleaned using those techniques described in Section C under Initial Cleaning. HEPA vacuum and/or wet methods will always be employed for any type of cleaning. All workers directly involved with the cleaning will always use the prescribed personal protective equipment. |
• | All objects in the work area will be removed from the area to protect them from contamination during the maintenance activity. When it is not feasible to move the objects, they will be completely covered with six-mil polyethylene plastic sheeting prior to commencement of the maintenance activity. This will include all fixtures and other components that exist in the immediate work area. |
• | Next, a layer of six-mil polyethylene plastic sheeting will be placed on the floor beneath the item or area affected by the maintenance activity. This sheeting will be at least one foot |
10
wide and one foot long for each foot above the floor where the work is to be conducted, but will not, under any circumstances, be less than six feet by six feet. When the work area is confined by walls, the plastic sheeting will extend up the walls at least one foot and will be sealed along the top edges with duct tape.
• | All work activities involving the ACM will be performed using wet methods, HEPA vacuums, glove bags, mini-enclosures, and/or protective clothing as appropriate to the maintenance activity. |
• | All repair work performed on the damaged or affected ACM will be done with materials such as asbestos-free speckling, plaster, cement or insulation. The existing ACM affected by the maintenance activity will be sealed with latex paint or an encapsulant. If this is neither possible nor appropriate, the appropriate response action as identified in the Management Plan will be implemented. |
• | All asbestos-containing debris will be saturated with amended water and sealed in double six-mil polyethylene disposal bags. These bags will be labeled as ACM and will be disposed of at an EPA approved landfill site. All plastic, duct tape, etc., used to cover floors, objects, etc., will be treated as asbestos contaminated waste and will be disposed of in a like manner. |
5.3 Large Scale/Long Duration/Major Fiber Release
1. | USEPA defines a major fiber release episode as the falling or dislodging of more than three square or linear feet of friable ACM. |
2. | For all large scale/long duration maintenance activities (other than small scale/short duration) or for a major fiber release episode, all response actions will be designed by persons accredited to design response actions and conducted by persons accredited to conduct response actions. |
3. | Regardless of the response action designed for the specific activity or repair, the areas involving the work will be sealed off and restricted with signs posted, and prepared for the work in a manner consistent with the procedures outlined for the small scale/short duration activities. |
5.4 ACM Removal Procedures
The following section is intended to give the Asbestos Coordinator information regarding the abatement techniques typically performed during asbestos abatement. The effectiveness of engineering controls (such as those described below) during an asbestos abatement should be monitored by a qualified environmental consultant.
1. | Wet methods - Regardless of the removal method employed, wet methods will always be used where practical during any maintenance activity that involves the disturbance of ACM. In some cases, wet methods will not be employed (for example, working on live electrical equipment) and this will be determined prior to the commencement of the activity. |
At all times, amended water will be used as the wetting agent. Amended water is water that has a surfactant added that restricts evaporation and enhances the penetration of the water into the ACM. Commercially available products such as those containing a concentrate of 50/50 mixture of polyoxyethylene esters and polyoxyethylene ethers with three percent (3%) emulsifier will be used. These products will be added to normal tap water and used per the
11
manufacturer's instructions. Water will be applied to all ACM using an airless sprayer to minimize disturbance of the ACM. During the maintenance or repair activity, the material will continue to be wetted, as needed, to ensure that all ACM is wet during the activity and remains wet until final disposal.
2. | Mini-enclosures - This methodology is employed in areas where glove bags are not practical, such as for the removal of asbestos from a small ventilation system or a short length of duct as detailed by USEPA guidance. |
The mini-enclosures will vary in construction, shape, and size, depending upon the specific requirements of an individual activity. In general, all mini-enclosures will be constructed in accordance with the following criteria:
The structure will consist of six-mil polyethylene plastic sheeting supported by pre-
constructed framework of 2" x 4" studs formed around the work area. The plastic will be stapled and taped to the frame work. Two layers of sheeting will be used, one attached to the studs on the inside of the mini-enclosure and the other on the outside.
The structure will be minimized in size so as to allow entry to the number of workers directly involved with the maintenance activity. Where possible, the number of workers will be restricted to one or two maximum.
The floor inside the mini-enclosure will be covered with two layers of six-mil polyethylene plastic and will extend no less than one foot up each wall where it will be taped sealed to the wall's plastic. All penetrations into or through the mini-enclosure, such as pipe runs, will be sealed with duct tape.
A small change room (approximately 3 feet by 3 feet by 7 feet) will be constructed contiguous to the mini-enclosure. Entry to the change room and from the change room to the mini-enclosure will be through double plastic-sheeted entryways. The first layer of plastic in the entryway will be sealed to the doorway at the top and on the right side; the second layer will be sealed at the top and on the left side.
After completing the maintenance or repair activity, the worker will enter the change room, HEPA vacuum his disposable coveralls and remove them prior to leaving the change room. He will then wet wipe his respirator, leaving it on until exiting the change room.
During the ACM removal the workers will wear protective coveralls and dual cartridge respirators which are National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)- rated for asbestos dust. Wet methods of removal using amended water will be used at all times in the mini-enclosure. As in the glove bag method of removal, following the removal of ACM, the working area will be sprayed with encapsulant and exposed cut ACM will be coated with a bridging encapsulant when appropriate.
Next, all debris in the mini-enclosure will be placed in six-mil polyethylene bags labeled appropriately for disposal of ACM. The bags will be wet cleaned before removal from the work area through the change room. All interior surfaces of the mini-enclosure will then be cleaned using the HEPA vacuum and/or wet cleaning techniques.
12
Inside the mini-enclosure, the air will be sprayed with water using an airless sprayer. The worker will start at the top and spray the entire volume down to the floor level in order to remove any airborne asbestos fibers prior to dismantling the mini-enclosure.
The worker will then proceed to the change room and HEPA vacuum his coveralls and clean and spray the room in the same fashion as the mini-enclosure. He will then wet wipe his respirator w ile still wearing it, HEPA vacuum and remove his coveralls, and exit the change room.
The mini-enclosure will be dismantled from the outside by removing the plastic and
bundling it inward, rolling it, and placing it in six-mil bags, labeled for asbestos
contaminated waste and disposed of appropriately.
5.5 Waste Disposal
Disposal of asbestos containing waste generated by asbestos projects will be the responsibility of the asbestos abatement contractor. Asbestos containing waste is generated during asbestos abatement projects and generally consists of removed asbestos containing materials as well as disposable abatement equipment which has been exposed to asbestos fibers (respirator cartridges, plastic enclosure materials, protective suits, etc).
All asbestos containing wasted material is double bagged in six-mil polyethylene plastic bags which are preprinted to indicate that they contain asbestos containing material. Asbestos waste is kept in a controlled location in a routine maintenance area of the facility in sealable metal or fiber 55 gallon drums and when full are transported to a landfill site approved for asbestos by the USEPA. The bags are removed at the landfill and delivered to the landfill operator and the drums are wet wiped and returned to the property for re-use.
The waste containers are transported to the landfill in a covered, lockable vehicle accompanied by a proper waste manifest meeting state and federal regulations that details the origin of the material, date and quantities of transport, types of containers and destination of containers. If transported by a third party hauler, information pertaining to the hauler is also included on the form. The waste manifest is signed at each transfer point and after final transport to the landfill site, a copy of the form is maintained in the property's records as evidence of receipt at the disposal site.

7.0 WORKER PROTECTION
7.1 Air Monitoring
Air monitoring is utilized in conjunction with visual inspections to verify the effectiveness of control measures and protective clothing. The techniques employed are consistent with the recommended methods as described in OSHA Regulations 29 CFR 1910.1001 and 29 CFR 1926.1101. Phase contrast microscopy (PCM) is the method most often used. The use of PCM as the primary method of analysis will continue until such time as revisions are warranted. A secondary method of analysis employing electron microscopy may be used on a case by case basis.
Air monitoring will be conducted to measure:
1 | Levels during and following maintenance work |
2 | Levels before, during and following abatement projects |
3 | Levels during and following renovation projects |
The specific air sampling strategies to be used will depend on each activity and should be conducted by a qualified environmental consultant.
7.2 Medical Monitoring
Medical monitoring is required for all employees working on or around ACBM where exposure is likely to exceed the OSHA action level of 0.1 f/cm-3, 8 hour Time Weighted Average (TWA) during the course of work.
Asbestos-related projects are not to be conducted by the maintenance staff of the subject property. Rather, asbestos-related projects are to be performed by licensed, qualified asbestos abatement contractors. Therefore, a medical monitoring p xxxxx for asbestos exposure is not
expected to be necessary at the subject property at this time.
7.3 Respiratory Protection
Proper respiratory protection is an integral part of all maintenance activities involving potential exposure to asbestos. It will be the responsibility of the asbestos abatement contractor to provide O&M workers with appropriate respiratory protection. OSHA specifies general types of respirators for protection against airborne asbestos during “construction” activities, which include abatement, renovation, maintenance, repair, and remodeling.
8.0 TRAINING
8.1 Level I Training
Level I training for the staff of the subject property staff will include:
1. | A description of asbestos containing materials: (List and describe all ACM) |
2. | The health hazards associated with ACM |
◦ | Asbestosis - scarring of the lung tissue |
◦ | Mesothelioma - rare form of cancer of the pleural cavity. |
15
◦ | Gastrointestinal cancers of the stomach, esophagus and colon. |
3 | A discussion of the risk factors associated with asbestos related work and cigarette smoking, e.g. smokers have 50 times the risk of acquiring lung cancer from asbestos exposure than non-smokers. |
4 | An explanation of current legislation/regulations concerning ACM in local, state and federal regulations. |
5 | The purpose of an air monitoring program, what the results mean and what actions need to be taken as a result of the monitoring. |
6 | The need for utilizing personal protective clothing and equipment, including respirators and head gear. |
7 The need for good housekeeping practices.
8 The need for personal hygiene practices.
9 The notification procedure to be followed when a hazard is suspected or identified.
8.2 Level II Training
Level II Training for asbestos abatement contractor workers is the responsibility of the asbestos abatement contractor and will include:
1. | An expanded version of all the information presented in Level I Training. |
2. | The purpose for a description of the medical surveillance program, including pulmonary function testing for all employees who are issued respirators. |
3. | Specific work guidelines, including dust control measures, clean up, disposal methods and decontamination procedures. |
4. | Respiratory protection, including a discussion and demonstration of the use and care of respirators as well as qualitative respirator fit testing. |
5. | Personal protective clothing, including a discussion and demonstration to its use and disposal. |
6. | A brief presentation regarding physical factors, e.g. heat stress and restrictive breathing. |
8.3 Warning Labels
Warning labels will have been attached immediately adjacent to any friable and non-friable ACBM and assumed ACM located in routine maintenance areas as per USEPA. The labels will be of a size, print and color which is readily visible to persons entering an area containing ACBM. A copy of an acceptable label is included in the “Forms” section.

ELEMENT LA - MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
In order to deal with the potential hazards involved with the presence of asbestos in certain building products used in the construction of the subject property, Building Management has instituted an Operations and Maintenance Program which contains the necessary procedures to minimize and/or contain any releases of asbestos fibers which could occur as a result of maintenance, repair, and renovation activities at the property. This program consists of the following key parts:
Employee Awareness Tenant Awareness Continuous Inspections Specialized Maintenance Documentation
As we are aware of asbestos-containing materials through outside consultants, we will continue to develop procedures to notify and manage each instance using the proper guidelines (refer to 29 CFR Chapter XVII (July 1, 1995 edition) OSHA Section 1926.1101, paragraph (k) Communication of hazards). Although asbestos is present throughout our environment we can only control the known areas and take proper precautions against creating a health hazard. We feel our Operations and Maintenance Program provides the necessary management controls and precautions to limit any potential hazards which could affect our tenants and employees.
