Such prepayment will be treated as a voluntary prepayment made in accordance with the terms and provisions

Required Repairs Funds

Under the terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrower is required to perform the repairs at the Mortgaged Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule II of the Loan Agreement (such repairs are referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower will promptly commence the Required Repairs following the Origination Date and thereafter diligently prosecute the Required Repairs to completion using its commercially reasonable efforts. Borrower will not be required to make any upfront reserve deposit with Lender in connection with the Required Repairs.

Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund

Under the terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrower is required to maintain a reserve fund for taxes and other charges, and insurance premiums payable with respect to the Mortgaged Property into which the Borrower is required to deposit on each Payment Date an amount equal to (a) 1/12th of the annual Taxes and other charges reasonably estimated by the Lender to be payable with respect to the Mortgaged Property during the next ensuing 12 months in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least 30 days prior to their respective due dates and (b) 1/12th of the annual insurance premiums reasonably estimated by the Lender to be payable for the renewal of coverage provided by the insurance policies upon the expiration of such insurance policies in order to provide the Lender with sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the insurance policies (such amounts in clauses (a) and (b) above are referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). If at any time the Lender reasonably determines that the funds on deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund will not be sufficient to pay amounts set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above, the Borrower will be required to increase its monthly payments by the amount that the Lender estimates will be sufficient to make up the deficiency at least 30 days prior to the Taxes and other charges and/or 30 days prior to the expiration of the insurance policies. If the Borrower successfully appeals and obtains a reduction in the amount of real estate taxes due for the Mortgaged Property, upon the Borrower’s request, the Lender will recalculate the monthly payment required to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, and any excess escrow will be returned to the Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower is not required to make deposits for the payment of insurance premiums into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund so long as the Borrower maintains a blanket insurance policy in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Lender, and provided further that no Mortgage Event of Default will exist and remain uncured

Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that Borrower has provided Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender (as determined by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion) that all taxes and other charges have been paid prior to the date such taxes and other charges are due and payable, which evidence will be provided to Lender prior to the date that such taxes and other charges are due, Borrower will not be required to make deposits pursuant to the Loan Agreement with respect to taxes and other charges.

Replacement Reserve Fund

Under the terms of the Loan Documents, the Borrower is required to maintain a reserve fund (the “Replacement Reserve Fund”) into which the Borrower on each Payment Date during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period, is required to pay to the Lender an amount equal to $12,500 or such higher amount recommended by a property condition report (such amount, the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”). Such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit will be deposited into an account (the “Replacement Reserve Account”) for the payment of replacements, repairs and capital expenditures permitted to be made to the Mortgaged Property during the calendar year (collectively the “Replacements”). Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account at any given time may not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit will be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time; provided that, (a) no such reassessment must occur until the date which is three (3) years following the Origination Date and (b) Lender is not be permitted to conduct such reassessment more frequently than one (1) time per calendar year thereafter. In the event that, pursuant to a reassessment conducted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, Lender reasonably determines that an increase to the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Mortgaged Property, then such increase will be effective upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein the Replacement Reserve Cap can never be increased during the term of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan.

If the Borrower is making deposits of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Account, the Lender is required to, upon satisfaction of the conditions specified in the applicable section of the Loan Agreement, disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Fund to pay for the costs of the Replacements, no more frequently than once in any calendar month period; provided, that the Lender will not be required to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account for Replacements costing less than $5,000. The Borrower is required to provide the Lender with evidence of completion of the subject Replacement or portion under the Loan Agreement reasonably satisfactory in the Lender’s judgment.

The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Fund will not relieve the Borrower from its obligation to preserve and maintain the Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

Rollover Reserve Fund

The Borrower is required to pay to Lender on each Payment Date during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period an amount equal to $62,900 (the “Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amounts are to be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission

 15 

 

obligations incurred following the date under the Loan Agreement. Amounts so deposited will hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held are to be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Rollover Reserve Funds on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Account at any given time cannot exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Rollover Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Rollover Reserve Funds in the Rollover Reserve Account to exceed the Rollover Reserve Cap, such Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit will be decreased by an amount equal to such excess.

Provided no Event of Default under the Loan Agreement exists, Lender is required to make disbursements from the Rollover Escrow Fund for tenant improvement obligations (including, without limitation, landlord work and/or tenant allowances) and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower. All such expenses must be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (in each case, unless such tenant improvement and/or leasing commission is set forth in a Major Lease entered into in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, in which case Lender’s approval will not be required). Lender is required to make such disbursements within ten (10) Business Days after (a) delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender, for requests in excess of $100,000.00, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment and (b) satisfaction of all other conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. Such disbursements are required be made in increments of no less than $5,000.00 and not more often than once per month. Lender may require an inspection of the Mortgaged Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making any disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $500,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought. Borrower is permitted to make requests for disbursement from any other reserve account maintained by Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents on different dates during a calendar month so long as Borrower does not make more than one request for disbursement from the same reserve account during such calendar month.

Free Rent Reserve

Borrower was required to pay to Lender on the Origination Date, an amount equal to $847,793.62 which amount will be deposited with and held by Lender for payment to Borrower of any free rent credit due to any Tenant (each, a “Free Rent Tenant”) pursuant to any Free Rent Tenant’s respective Lease as set forth on Schedule IV under the Loan Agreement. Amounts so deposited are referred to as the “Free Rent Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held are referred to as the “Free Rent Reserve Account”).

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing (unless such Event of Default is cured by the application of the proceeds of the subject disbursement), Lender will be required to make disbursements from the Free Rent Reserve Account in accordance with Schedule IV under the Loan Agreement. All disbursements required to be made by Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement are to be deposited, on the applicable Payment Date, into the Cash Management Account as if such sums were received by Borrower as Rent and are to be applied on each such Payment Date in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement.

TI/LC Reserve Fund

Borrower was required to pay to Lender on the Origination Date an initial deposit in the amount of $1,820,891.36, which amount was deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations for the leases set forth on Schedule V attached to the Loan Agreement. All amounts deposited pursuant to the Loan Agreement are collectively referred to as the “TI/LC Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held will hereinafter be referred to as the “TI/LC Reserve Account”.

Provided no Event of Default under the Loan Agreement exists, Lender will make disbursements from the TI/LC Reserve Fund for tenant improvement obligations (including, without

 16 

 

limitation, landlord work and/or tenant allowances) and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrower with respect to the leases set forth on Schedule V to the Loan Agreement. All such expenses must be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (in each case, unless such tenant improvement and/or leasing commission is set forth in the applicable Lease set forth on Schedule V to the Loan Agreement, in which case Lender’s approval will not be required). Lender will make such disbursements as requested by Borrower within (10) Business Days after (a) delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender, for requests in excess of $100,000.00, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment and (b) satisfaction of all other conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement. Lender may require an inspection of the Mortgaged Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $500,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought. Lender is not required to make such disbursements more often than once per month and in increments of less than $5,000.00.

Young & Rubicam Reserve Fund

Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the amount of Young & Rubicam Reserve Funds on deposit in the Young & Rubicam Reserve Account at any given time cannot exceed $40,000,000 in the aggregate (the “Young & Rubicam Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent that the Young & Rubicam Reserve Cap has been reached and there is additional Excess Cash Flow, and provided that no other Cash Sweep Period is then continuing, such additional Excess Cash Flow will be released from the Cash Management Account at the direction of Borrower.

(a)       Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender will make the disbursements of the Young & Rubicam Reserve Funds to Borrower out of the Young & Rubicam Reserve Account, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000 (or, with respect to the final disbursement of the Young & Rubicam Reserve Funds, in such lesser amount as requested by Borrower) provided that: (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Young & Rubicam Replacement Lease Expense; (ii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (1) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Approved Young & Rubicam Replacement Lease Expenses, and a description under the Loan Agreement, (2) stating that any tenant improvements at the Mortgaged Property to be funded by the requested disbursement (or the relevant portion under the Loan Agreement as to which such request for funds relates) have been substantially completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (3) stating that the Approved Young & Rubicam Replacement Lease Expenses (or the relevant portions under the Loan Agreement) to be funded from the disbursement in question have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (4) stating that all previous disbursements of Young & Rubicam Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Young & Rubicam Replacement Lease Expenses, and (5) stating that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (B) a copy of any material license, material permit or other material approval by any governmental authority required in connection with the tenant improvements and not previously delivered to Lender, (C) copies of paid invoices or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and, if required by Lender, for requests in excess of $100,000.00, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment, (D) at Lender’s option, for disbursements in the amount of $100,000 or more, a title search for the Mortgaged Property indicating that the Mortgaged Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (E) if requested by Lender in connection with the final disbursement from the Lease Sweep Reserve Account for tenant improvement costs under a Lease, a current Tenant estoppel certificate in the form required to be provided by the Tenant under such Lease or otherwise in form and

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance will be determined prior to the Origination Date and at least once each year thereafter based on the Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the Mortgaged Property for the succeeding 12-month period. Notwithstanding the cash management provisions of the Loan Agreement, all proceeds payable to the Lender as described in this subsection will be held by the Lender and are required to be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable under the Loan Agreement and under the Notes; provided, however, that nothing contained in the Loan Agreement will be deemed to relieve the Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective

 28 

 

dates of payment provided for in the applicable section of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

If TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Borrower will be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan as required by the preceding sentence, but in such event Borrower will not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two (2) times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required under the Loan Agreement (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism, wind and earthquake components of

 29 

 

such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower will be required to purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount;

(xi) without duplication of the insurance required under clauses (i)-(x) above and (xii) below, workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies will be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns will be so endorsed; and

(xii)       upon 60 days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as the Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Mortgaged Property located in or around the region in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

All insurance provided for as described above is required to be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or, in the singular, the “Policy”), and is required to be subject to the approval of the Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies are required to be issued by (1) financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of New York and all carriers having (1) a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent under the Loan Agreement by the other Approved Ratings Agencies, if such other Approved Rating Agencies rate the applicable insurer), provided, however, that if Borrower elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, (A) at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) will be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P (and the equivalent under the Loan Agreement by the other Approved Ratings Agencies, if such other Approved Rating Agencies rate the applicable insurer) and (B) the remaining forty percent (40%) of the insurance coverage (or the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) will be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “BBB” or better by S&P (and the equivalent under the Loan Agreement by the other Approved Ratings Agencies, if such other Approved Rating Agencies rate the applicable insurer) and (2) “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports. The Policies described in the Loan Agreement (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) will designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than 5 Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies which are furnished to the Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies, to be followed by complete copies of the Policies upon issuance, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to the Lender of payment of the premiums due and payable thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) is delivered by the Borrower to the Lender. The Borrower is required to forward to the Lender within three Business Days a copy of each written notice received by the Borrower of any proposed or actual modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies. Borrower will, within five (5) Business Days request from Lender, deliver complete copies of the Policies then currently issued and in effect and (provided that any such Policies may be redacted with respect to information regarding any other property for which coverage is provided thereunder other than the Mortgaged Property).

Any blanket insurance Policy will specifically allocate to the Mortgaged Property the amount of coverage from time to time required under the Loan Agreement or will otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Mortgaged Property in compliance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”). To the extent that the Policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Mortgaged Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth in the Loan Agreement for the Mortgaged Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis.

Casualty and Condemnation

If the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), the Borrower is required to give prompt written notice of such damage to the Lender. Following any Casualty, the Borrower is required to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Mortgaged Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by the Lender. The Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and will have approval rights with respect to any final settlement, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any casualty in which the net insurance proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $300,000.00. Upon the request by the Lender, the Borrower will be required to deliver to the Lender all instruments required by the Lender to permit such participation.

If any portion of the Mortgaged Property is taken by a condemning authority the Borrower is required to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

Following the damage of the Mortgaged Property, in whole or part, by fire or other casualty, or a temporary or permanent taking by any governmental authority as the result or in lieu or in anticipation of the exercise of the right of condemnation or eminent domain, of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest in the Mortgaged Property or right accruing to the Mortgaged Property, including any right of access to the Mortgaged Property or any change of grade affecting the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property if the Net Proceeds are less than 3% of the outstanding principal balance of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan, and the costs of completing the Restoration are less than 3% of the outstanding principal balance of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan, provided the conditions set forth below are satisfied and the Borrower delivers to the Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Lender will be required to disburse to the Borrower such insurance proceeds or awards to be applied to the costs of Restoration of the Mortgaged Property.

If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than 3% of the outstanding principal balance of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than 3% of the outstanding principal balance of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan, then the Lender will be required to make the Net Proceeds available to the Borrower for the restoration of the Mortgaged Property, provided that, the following conditions are met:

(A)       no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)       with respect to net insurance proceeds, less than 25% of the total floor area of the improvements identified in the related Mortgage on the Mortgaged Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such casualty or (2) with respect to net condemnation proceeds, less than 10% of the land constituting the Mortgaged Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Mortgaged Property, and no portion of the related improvements is located on such land;

(C)       leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 80% of the total rentable space in the Mortgaged Property which has been demised under executed and

 31 

 

delivered leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation whichever the case may be, will remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, and the Borrower and/or tenant, as applicable under the respective lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense;

(D)       subject to force majeure, the Borrower commences the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but, subject to force majeure, in no event later than 60 days after such casualty or condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and diligently pursues the same to satisfactory completion;

(E)       the Lender is satisfied that any operating deficits, including all monthly debt service payment amounts, which will be incurred with respect to the Mortgaged 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 insurance or condemnation awards, (2) business income insurance required under the Loan Agreement, if applicable, (3) any other security Lender receives to cover the same which is reasonably satisfactory to Lender or (4) by other funds of Borrower;

(F)       the Lender is satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any leases compromising not less than 80% of the Mortgaged Property, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable legal requirements in order to repair and restore the Mortgaged Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such casualty or to nearly as possible the condition it was or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such condemnation, (4) the expiration of the business income insurance coverage required under the Loan Agreement or (5) the date required for such completion, if any, pursuant to the Condominium Documents;

(G)       the Mortgaged Property and the use of the Mortgaged Property after the Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable legal requirements;

(H)       the Restoration will be done and completed by the Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable legal requirements;

(K)       the Borrower delivers, or causes to be delivered, to the Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by the Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the estimated entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget will be subject to the Lender’s reasonable approval; and

(L)       the net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by the Borrower with the Lender are sufficient in the Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

Any net insurance proceeds or condemnation awards remaining after the completion of a Restoration will be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Loan Agreements, provided that no Event of Default will have occurred and will be continuing under the Loan Documents.

All net insurance proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to the Borrower as described in the preceding paragraph may be retained and applied by the

 32 

 

Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, without payment of any prepayment consideration (see ”—Prepayment” above).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, if immediately following a release of any portion of the lien of the Mortgage in connection with a condemnation of the Mortgaged Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property), the loan-to-value ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in the Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC trust), the principal balance of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan must be prepaid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts: (i) the condemnation proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the loan-to-value ratio (as so determined by the Lender) after the release does not increase, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Trust will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the lien of the Mortgage.

The “Loan Debt Service Coverage Ratio “ means a ratio for the applicable period in which:

(a)       the numerator is the Underwritten Net Cash Flow; and

(b)       the denominator is the aggregate amount of interest payments for the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan which would be due for the applicable period.

Restoration” means the repair and restoration of a Mortgaged Property after a casualty or condemnation as nearly as possible to the condition such Mortgaged Property was in immediately prior to such casualty or condemnation, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by the Lender.

Environmental Indemnity

In connection with the origination of the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan, the Borrower and the Guarantor (the “Environmental Indemnitor”) executed an environmental indemnity agreement (the “Environmental Indemnity Agreement”) with respect to the Mortgaged Property. Under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, the Environmental Indemnitor agreed to protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Lender and other indemnified parties (collectively, the “Environmental Indemnitees”) from and against all Losses arising from certain events described in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement, including but not limited to, (except to the extent any such Losses are caused by or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnitee): (i) any presence of any Hazardous Substances in, on, above, or under the Mortgaged Property; (ii) any past, present or threatened release of Hazardous Substances in, on, above, under or from the Mortgaged Property; (iii) any activity by the Environmental Indemnitor, any person affiliated with the Environmental Indemnitor, and any tenant or other user of the Mortgaged Property in connection with any actual, proposed or threatened use, treatment, storage, holding, existence, disposition or other release, generation, production, manufacturing, processing, refining, control, management, abatement, removal, handling, transfer or transportation to or from the Mortgaged Property of any Hazardous Substances at any time located in, under, on or above the Mortgaged Property; (iv) any activity by the Environmental Indemnitor, any person affiliated with the Environmental Indemnitor, and any tenant or other user of the Mortgaged Property in connection with any actual or proposed remediation of any Hazardous Substances at any time located in, under, on or above the Mortgaged Property, whether or not such remediation is voluntary or pursuant to court or administrative order, including but not limited to any removal, remedial or corrective action; (v) any past, present or threatened non-compliance or violations of any Environmental Laws (or permits issued pursuant to any Environmental Law) in connection with the Mortgaged Property or operations thereon, including but not limited to any failure by the Environmental Indemnitor, any person affiliated with the Environmental Indemnitor, and any tenant or other user of the Mortgaged Property to comply with any order of any governmental authority in connection with any Environmental Laws; (vi) the imposition, recording or filing or the threatened imposition, recording or filing of any environmental lien encumbering the Mortgaged Property; (vii) any administrative processes or proceedings or judicial proceedings in any way connected with any matter addressed under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement; (viii) any past, present or threatened injury to, destruction of or loss

 33 

 

of natural resources in any way connected with the Mortgaged Property relating to Hazardous Substances or any violation of Environmental Laws, including but not limited to costs to investigate and assess such injury, destruction or loss; (ix) any acts of the Environmental Indemnitor, any person affiliated with the Environmental Indemnitor, and any tenant or other user of the Mortgaged Property in arranging for disposal or treatment, or arranging with a transporter for transport for disposal or treatment, of Hazardous Substances from the Mortgaged Property to any facility or incineration vessel containing such or similar Hazardous Substances; (x) any acts of the Environmental Indemnitor, any person affiliated with any Environmental Indemnitor, and any tenant or other user of the Mortgaged Property in accepting any Hazardous Substances for transport from the Mortgaged Property to disposal or treatment facilities, incineration vessels or sites from which there is a release, or a threatened release of any Hazardous Substance which causes the incurrence of costs for remediation; (xi) any personal injury, wrongful death, or property or other damage arising under any statutory or common law or tort law theory relating to Hazardous Substances or violations of Environmental Laws in connection with the Mortgaged Property, including but not limited to damages assessed for private or public nuisance or for the conducting of an abnormally dangerous activity on or near the Mortgaged Property; and (l) any misrepresentation or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty or material breach or failure to perform any covenants or other obligations related to Hazardous Substances and/or Environmental Laws pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the Mortgage.

In the event that Borrower obtains and maintains a policy of environmental insurance naming Lender (together with its successors and assigns) as an additional named insured (together with any replacement or renewal under the Loan Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, the “Environmental Insurance”), then Lender agrees to first seek recovery under such Environmental Insurance before seeking indemnity, reimbursement or recovery from Indemnitor for Losses within the scope of the indemnity under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement that are within the scope of coverage and are not specifically excluded from the terms of the Environmental Insurance , provided that: (A) the Environmental Insurance is in full force and effect and has not been voided or otherwise cancelled at the time of such Losses; (B) any such Losses exceed the amount of the then available deductible under the Environmental Insurance; (C) Indemnitor will pay or reimburse Lender for any deductible and the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender in making its claim for coverage; and (D) if Indemnified persons are unable to collect under the Environmental Insurance with respect to any claim made with respect to any such Losses, within one hundred eighty (180) days after having made its initial claim, provided such inability or failure is not a result of Indemnified persons’ failure to use good faith efforts to collect any such Losses under the Environmental Insurance or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Indemnified persons, then Indemnified persons will thereafter have the right to seek indemnification with respect to any such Losses in accordance with the terms under the Loan Agreement, to the extent not paid under the Environmental Insurance.

The obligations and liabilities of the Environmental Indemnitor under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement will fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Environmental Indemnity Agreement to the contrary, the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitor under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement will not apply to the extent that Indemnitor can prove that such liabilities and obligations arose solely from Hazardous Substances or violations of Environmental Law that: (a) were not present on or an imminent threat to the Mortgaged Property prior to the date that Indemnitee or its nominee acquired title to the Mortgaged Property, whether by foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or otherwise and (b) were not the result of any act or negligence of Indemnitor or any of Indemnitor’s affiliates, agents or contractors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification obligations of Indemnitor under the Environmental Indemnity Agreement will terminate on the date which is three (3) years after (x) the full and indefeasible payment by Indemnitor of the Debt, provided, that (i) such three (3) year period will not commence until the date on which Indemnitor furnishes to Indemnitee a Phase I environmental report with respect to the Mortgaged Property, which reports are from an environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to Indemnitee and the Rating Agencies, and which updated environmental report(s) do not disclose, as of the date of delivery, any actual or threatened (A) non-compliance with or violation of applicable Environmental Laws (or of permits issued pursuant to Environmental Laws) in connection with the Mortgaged Property or

 34

ANNEX A

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

All capitalized terms used in this Annex A that are not defined in this Annex A have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

The Borrower made the following representations and warranties in the Loan Agreement as to itself and the 3 Columbus Circle Mortgaged Property. These representations and warranties were made at the time the 3 Columbus Circle Whole Loan was originated and there can be no assurance that such representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date of this Memorandum.

(1)           Organization. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing pursuant to the laws of the state of its organization with requisite power and authority to own the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. LLC 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 businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own the Property and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” in the Loan Agreement.

(2)           Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. The Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute 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).

(3)           No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower (to the extent it is a party thereto) will not in any material respect conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a material 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 agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of the Property or Borrower’s assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

(4)           Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings are not adequately covered by insurance or, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(5)           Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 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 is bound, in each case, where such default would result in a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other

 A-1 

 

agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in the Loan Agreement and (b) obligations under or as otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(6)           Title. Borrower has good 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 have a Material Adverse Effect. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, when properly filed, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s right title and interest to the portion of the Property constituting real estate, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) to the extent the same can be perfected under the UCC, perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, Borrower’s right, title and interest to all personalty, the Leases constituting any part of the Property for which perfection may be achieved by the filing of UCC financing statements, 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

(7)           Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, the Loan 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. 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 an insufficient amount of 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 debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Guarantor or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and none of Borrower, Guarantor or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Guarantor or such constituent Persons.

(8)           Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in the Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or, to Borrower’s knowledge, omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained in the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents not misleading in any material respect. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(9)           ERISA. (a) Generally. Except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (i) each of the Borrower, Guarantor and their ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable law relating to any Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder and (ii) neither Borrower nor Guarantor has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability for a non-exempt “prohibited

 A-2 

 

transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code). No ERISA Event or termination of any Plan has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and no notice of termination has been filed by or with the PBGC with respect to any Plan established or maintained by Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrower is not and has not been a party to any Multiemployer Plan.

(b) Plan Assets; Prohibited Transactions. Neither the Borrower nor Guarantor is, and neither shall become an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 (as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA) of an employee benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA or any plan (within the meaning of and subject to Section 4975 of the Code). Neither the Borrower nor Guarantor is a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and transactions by or with Borrower or Guarantor are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (“Similar Law”). Assuming no source of funds to make the Loan constitutes “plan assets” (within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations), the execution of the Loan Agreement, the making of the Loan and the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, including but not limited to the exercise by the Lender of its rights under the Loan Documents, are not and will not give rise to a non-exempt “prohibited transaction” within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and are not prohibited or otherwise restricted by Similar Law.

(10)         Compliance. Borrower and the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes necessary to operate the Property and carry on business thereat. Borrower is not in material 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.

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 Material Adverse Effect.

exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Property, whether latent or otherwise, and Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

(25)         Boundaries. All of the improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Property, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the Property except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.

No Rent (excluding security deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date. All security deposits are held by Borrower in accordance with applicable law. Except as set forth on Schedule V to the Loan Agreement, all work to be performed by Borrower under each Lease has been performed as required and has been accepted by the applicable Tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by Borrower to any Tenant has already been received by such Tenant.
