All insurance required to be provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement must be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and will be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies are required to be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State of New York and having a claims paying ability rating of (y) “A” or better by S&P, “A2” or better by Moody’s, if Moody’s rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates, and “A” or better by Fitch, if Fitch rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, “A(low)” or better by DBRS Morningstar, “A2” or better by Moody’s, if Moody’s rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates, “A” or better by Fitch, if Fitch rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates, with no remaining carrier below “BBB” by S&P, “Baa2” by Moody’s, if Moody’s rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates, and “BBB” or better by Fitch, if Fitch rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, “A2” or better by Moody’s, if Moody’s rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates and “A” or better by Fitch, if Fitch rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates with no remaining carrier below “BBB” by S&P, “Baa2” by Moody’s, if Moody’s rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates and “BBB” by Fitch, if Fitch rates the insurance company and is rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates) and (z) a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports. (each such insurer is referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). No Policy may contain an exclusion from coverage under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism (including bio-terrorism) or similar acts of sabotage. 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 are required to be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower is required to supply an original or certified copy of the original Policy within ten (10) days of request by Lender, provided that the Policy is available.

 

Borrower is permitted to obtain Policies required under this heading under a “blanket” insurance policy so long as such Policy specifically allocates to the Mortgaged Property the amount of coverage from time to time required under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and otherwise provides the same protection as would a separate policy insuring only the Mortgaged Property in compliance with the Mortgage Loan Agreement, subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values, and such other documentation required by Lender. To the extent that the insurance policies are maintained pursuant to a blanket insurance policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Mortgaged Property (the “Radius“), the limits of such blanket insurance policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth under clauses (A), (C) and (J) of the first paragraph under this heading 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. Changes to any “blanket” insurance Policy are not permitted to be made without Lender’s prior written approval. Borrower is required to notify Lender of any material changes to the Policy, including changes to the limits under the policy as of Origination Date or an

 

41

 

aggregation of the insured values covered under the blanket policy, including the reduction or erosion of flood, windstorm / named storm and earthquake limits or the addition of locations that are subject to the perils of flood, windstorm / named storm and earthquake and such changes will be subject to prior approval of Lender and the Rating Agencies.

 

All Policies provided for or contemplated by the first paragraph of this section are required to name Borrower as a named insured and, in the case of liability coverages (except for the Policy referenced in clauses (E) and (H) of the first paragraph of this section), shall name Lender (and its successors and assigns) as the additional insured and in the case of the property coverages , including but not limited to all risk, loss of rents and/or business interruption, boiler and machinery, terrorism, wind (named storms), flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder is payable to Lender.

 

All Policies provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement are required to 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, will 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 mortgageholder clause must not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium; (iii) Lender must not be liable for any insurance premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; (iv) must contain a waiver of subrogation in favor of Lender; and (v) provide that the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration.

 

If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Policies are in full force and effect, Lender has the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Mortgaged 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 are required to be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, will be secured by the Security Instrument and will bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

Casualty and Condemnation

 

If the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower is required to (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of restoration so that the Mortgaged Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition the Mortgaged Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (if such approval is required) and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of “—Restoration”. Borrower is required to pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but is not 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 $1,000,000.00 and Borrower is required to deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

 

Borrower is required to give prompt notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and is required to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any Condemnation proceedings, and Borrower is required from time to time to deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower is required, at its expense, to diligently prosecute any such Condemnation proceedings, and must 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 is required to continue to perform the obligations at the time and in the manner provided in the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the other Mortgage Loan

If the Mortgaged Property or any portion of the Mortgaged Property is taken by a governmental authority, Borrower will be required to promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions described in “—Restoration” below. If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender will have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note has been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding the provisions described in this “—Casualty and Condemnation” section and “—Restoration” below, if the Whole Loan or any portion of the Whole Loan is included in a REMIC and, immediately following a release of any portion of the lien of the Security Instrument in connection with a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed restoration on the remaining portion of the Mortgaged Property), the REMIC Loan to Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC), excluding personal property and going concern value, if any, the principal balance of the Whole Loan (or such portion included in the REMIC) must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the REMIC Loan to Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, 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 as a result of the related release of such portion of the lien of the Security Instrument.

Tenant in Common Agreement

 

With respect to the Mortgage Loan:

 

Borrower is required to comply with the provisions of the Tenant in Common Agreement and is required to cause the Tenant in Common Agreement to remain in full force and effect at all times until payment in full of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Borrower has waived any right that it may have (whether by operation of law or pursuant to the terms of the Tenant in Common Agreement), until such time as the Whole Loan is repaid in full, to make any application to or petition any court for a partition of the Mortgaged Property, and, until such time as the Whole Loan is repaid in full, Borrower is not permitted to make any application to or petition any court for a partition of the Mortgaged Property.

 

51

 

Borrower has expressly waived any and all lien rights it may have (whether by operation of law or pursuant to the terms of the Tenant in Common Agreement) against any other Borrower under the Whole Loan until such time as the Whole Loan is repaid in full for advances made in connection with the continued ownership, operation and maintenance of the Mortgaged Property or as a result of the failure of any Tenant in Common to perform its obligations under the Tenant in Common Agreement.

 

Borrower has assigned to Lender, as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of Borrower under the Tenant in Common Agreement, including any rights of first refusal (including any such rights arising under Section 363(i) of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code), purchase options or other similar rights under the Tenant in Common Agreement. Borrower has agreed that any rights of first refusal, purchase options or other similar rights under the Tenant in Common Agreement afforded to Borrower are hereby made expressly subordinate to the Security Instrument, the other Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created thereby and to the rights of Lender.

 

Borrower has agreed that the Tenant in Common Agreement and any and all rights and liens created thereby in favor of any Tenant in Common (including without limitation, rights to the payment of monies, rights of indemnity, lien rights, rights of first refusal, options to purchase or other rights of acquisition) are and will be in all respects subordinate and inferior to the lien, security interest and terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower must not permit any distributions to be made to any Tenant in Common pursuant to the terms of the Tenant in Common Agreement, other than distributions that are made out of excess cash flow remaining after payment of current installments of debt service and reserves due under the Mortgage Loan Documents and then current payments of operating expenses for the Mortgaged Property.

 

Borrower is required to promptly (i) perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the Tenant in Common Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) notify Lender of any default under the Tenant in Common Agreement of which it is aware; and (iii) deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower under the Tenant in Common Agreement.

 

Borrower is not permitted to amend, modify, or supplement in any respect, terminate or cancel the Tenant in Common Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender or assign such Individual Borrower’s interest in the Tenant in Common Agreement to any Person, and any such termination, cancellation, modification, supplement, alteration, amendment or assignment of the Tenant in Common Agreement without prior consent of Lender will be void and of no force and effect.

 

Each person or entity constituting Borrower has acknowledged that it would be difficult for Lender to administer the Whole Loan if a single party for each Individual Property (the “Notice Owner”) was not designated to give and receive all notices required to be given to or received from Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrower has designated CF East 88 Borrower, with respect to the Lexington Property, and CF East 86 Borrower with respect to the Yorkshire Property, as the “Notice Owner”, and Borrower agrees that (a) all notices required to be given to Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Agreement will be given to the Notice Owner at the address shown for “Notice Owner” in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or at such other address of which notice shall have been given to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement; (b) except for notices from an Individual Borrower as to a matter personal to such Individual Borrower (i.e., those matters involving such Individual Borrower and not involving either the Mortgaged Property or any other Individual Borrower), all notices to Lender from Borrower must be given solely by the Notice Owner, and Lender is authorized to act in reliance thereon; (c) Lender is authorized to deal exclusively with the Notice Owner with respect to matters involving the obligations of Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents, without consultation with or notice to any other party comprising Borrower; (d) each Notice Owner will have the power and authority to make all decisions in respect of the administration of the Mortgage Loan, and such Notice Owner is required to be controlled by a Guarantor; and (e) Lender will not be required to accept notice from any party comprising Borrower other than the Notice Owner, except for a notice from all Borrowers, designating another party comprising Borrower as the Notice Owner; any Notice Owner will be subject to the approval of Lender not to be unreasonably

 

52

 

withheld, which approval may be conditioned, in part, upon, if a securitization has occurred, Lender’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the designation of the Notice Owner. Each Notice Owner has undertaken to deliver any such notice, process, or other papers (or a copy thereof) promptly to Borrower, who has waived any objection to such service, and has agreed that such service upon such Notice Owner will be deemed in every respect to be good and sufficient service under applicable law. Any notice given by Lender to the Notice Owner will be deemed to have been given to each and every Borrower.

 

Borrower is required, and is required to cause all of its Affiliates, to comply with any and all securities laws in connections with the issuing, selling, transferring or marketing of tenancy in common interests. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates may include any material untrue statement in any offering memorandum or other offering materials provided to prospective investors in connection with any potential investment in any such tenancy in common interest or shall omit any material fact or information from any such materials.

 

Without limiting any of the foregoing provisions under this heading, Borrower has agreed that in the event of any inconsistency between the provisions set forth under this heading and any of the provisions of the Tenant in Common Agreement and/or the Management Agreement, the provisions set forth under this heading will govern and control.

 

Tenant in Common Agreement” means that certain (i) Amended and Restated Tenant in Common Agreement of the Origination Date by and among CF East 88 Borrower, and SM East 88 Borrower, and (ii) Amended and Restated Tenant in Common Agreement of the Origination Date by and among CF East 86 Borrower, SM East 86 Borrower and LSG East 86 Borrower.

 

For avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this section, “Borrower” means any tenant in common entity comprising Borrower.

 

Compliance with O&M Programs

 

Borrower has covenanted and agreed to maintain the Asbestos-Containing Materials Operations and Maintenance Program dated January 21, 2022, Project Number 453842, and (ii) Asbestos-Containing Materials Operations and Maintenance Program dated January 21, 2022, Project Number 453840 ((i) and (ii) individually and collectively as the context may require, the “ACM Maintenance Program”), designed by AEI Consultants, with respect to asbestos containing materials (“ACM’s”), consistent with Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act guidelines and other relevant guidelines, and with applicable state and local laws, and such ACM Maintenance Program is required to continuously remain in effect until the Debt is repaid in full. In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower is required to inspect and maintain all ACM’s on a regular basis and ensure that all ACM’s are maintained in a condition that prevents exposure of occupants to ACM’s at all times. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such intervals as Lender may specify, (ii) an amendment to such ACM Maintenance Program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrower’s sole expense, supplemental examination of the Mortgaged Property by consultants specified by Lender, and (iv) variation of the ACM Maintenance Program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.

 

Lead Paint Program

 

Borrower has agreed to institute(i) that certain Lead-Based Paint Operations and Maintenance Program, dated as of April 15, 2022, prepared by AEI Consultants, as project No. 453842, and (ii) Lead-Based Paint Operations and Maintenance Program, dated as of April 15, 2022, prepared by AEI Consultants, as project No. 453840 (i) and (ii) individually and collectively, as the context may require, the “Lead-Based Paint Maintenance Program”) designed by AEI consultants, with respect to lead-based paint that is consistent with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development guidelines and with applicable state and local laws and such Lead-Based Paint Maintenance Program will hereafter continuously remain in effect until the Debt is repaid in full. To the extent Borrower is required by any governmental agency or authority to remove and/or abate lead-based paint at the Mortgaged Property, Borrower is required to

 

53

 

remove and/or abate same as and when required by said governmental agency or authority and otherwise in compliance with all Environmental Statutes. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, Lender may require (i) periodic notices or reports to Lender in form, substance and at such reasonable intervals as Lender may specify, (ii) an amendment to such Lead-Based Paint Maintenance Program to address changing circumstances, laws or other matters, (iii) at Borrower’s sole expense, supplemental examination of the Mortgaged Property by consultants specified by Lender, and (iv) variation of the Lead-Based Paint Maintenance Program in response to the reports provided by any such consultants.

 

Other Covenants of Borrower

 

Borrower is required to comply, and in certain cases to cause each other Restricted Party to comply, with certain covenants including without limitation to comply with, and cause the Mortgaged Property to comply in all material respects with, all legal requirements (subject to Borrower’s right to contest the same in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and to maintain the insurance coverages required by the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In addition, Borrower is required to cause the Mortgaged Property to be maintained in working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements to the Mortgaged Property.

 

Borrower is required to give Lender prompt notice of litigation or proceedings by any governmental authority pending or threatened in writing against Borrower, the Principal and/or Guarantor which, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Change to Borrower’s, the Principal’s or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Mortgaged Property.

56

 

Upon the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default (other than a Mortgage Loan Event of Default described in clauses (f), (g) or (h) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement and the other Mortgage Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, declaring the obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Mortgage Loan Documents against Borrower and the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Mortgage Loan Event of Default described in clauses (f), (g) or (h) above, the debt and all other obligations of Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and under the other Mortgage Loan Documents will immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower has expressly waived any such notice or demand, anything contained the Mortgage Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

During the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Lender will have the right in its sole discretion, promptly upon notice, to compel Borrower to transfer its respective interests in the Mortgaged Property to a single, newly formed Special Purpose Entity, the equity of which is required to be owned by Borrower in the same proportion as such Persons hold their respective Tenant in Common interests in the Mortgaged Property as of such date (such transfer of title, a “TIC Roll-Up”), such that the Mortgaged Property is no longer subject to a tenancy in common structure. Borrower will be required to execute and deliver to Lender, promptly after the request of Lender, an assumption agreement by such newly formed entity, transfer documents evidencing such title transfer, a title insurance policy and/or endorsements as Lender may require in order to properly secure the Whole Loan following the consolidation of such ownership structure described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. During the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, Borrower has appointed 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 TIC Roll-Up, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney will do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender must not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower is obligated to pay any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the transfer documents and related title insurance.

 

Non-Recourse Provisions and Exceptions

 

The Whole Loan is a non-recourse loan. As such, recourse on the Whole Loan generally may be applied only against the collateral and other assets that have been pledged to secure the Mortgage Loan. In limited customary circumstances, recourse may be had against Borrower and Guarantor as described further below. Borrower is fully and personally liable and subject to legal action, for any losses, damages actually incurred or suffered (including, without limitation, punitive or exemplary damages actually suffered by Lender for which Lender became liable to any Person as a result of a matter committed by Borrower or Guarantor and identified in this paragraph, but, in all cases, exclusive of any such punitive or exemplary damages imposed solely by Lender), costs, expenses, liabilities (including, without limitation, strict liability), claims, obligations, settlement payments, penalties, fines, assessments, citations, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings or other expenses of any kind whatsoever incurred or suffered by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs) arising out of or in connection with the following (the “Recourse Obligations”):

(iv)       intentional material physical waste of the Mortgaged Property by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, except to the extent that at the time such waste is committed, there are insufficient funds generated from the Mortgaged Property to repair or cure such waste;

 

(v)       intentional removal or disposal of any portion of the Mortgaged Property (other than in connection with the replacement of any obsolete or damaged portion of the Mortgaged Property) by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliated Manager after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default;

 

(vi)       breach of any legal requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by Borrower of the Mortgaged Property, or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any Restricted Party in connection with the Mortgaged Property;

 

(vii)       any intentional misrepresentation or materially misleading or materially incorrect certification in any representation, warranty or certification made to Lender in order to procure a release of monies from any account held by Lender (including any Reserve Account or similar escrow);

 

(viii)       misappropriation, conversion or intentional misapplication by or on behalf of Borrower, any Affiliated Manager, or their respective Affiliates of (A) any Insurance Proceeds, (B) any Awards, (C) during the continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, any Rents, (D) any Rents paid more than one month in advance, or (E) any other monetary collateral for the Mortgage Loan;

 

(ix)       failure to pay charges for taxes, Other Charges, labor or materials or judgments that could create liens on any portion of the Mortgaged Property, unless (1) cash flow from the Mortgaged Property is insufficient to pay such sums, (2) such charges are the subject of a bona fide dispute in which Borrower is contesting the amount or validity thereof in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (3) the failure to pay such charges is due to the failure of Lender to release or apply any amounts escrowed for such purposes pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement or any of the other Mortgage Loan Documents; provided, that there are sufficient funds in the applicable Reserve Account(s) to pay such amounts;

 

(x)       failure to deliver to Lender any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Mortgaged Property upon a foreclosure of the Mortgaged Property or action in lieu of foreclosure, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the leases or applicable legal requirements prior to the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu of foreclosure;

 

(xi)       failure by Borrower to obtain and maintain, from time to time, the fully paid for insurance policies in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement; unless (1) the cash flow from the Mortgaged Property is insufficient to pay for such policies or (2) the failure to pay such premiums is due to the failure of Lender to release or apply any amounts escrowed for such purpose pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement or any of the other Mortgage Loan Documents; provided that there are sufficient funds in the applicable Reserve Account(s) to pay such amounts;

(iv)       as a precondition to the consummation of a Realization Event by such Junior Lender, the applicable Junior Lender has cured or caused to be cured all Senior Curable Defaults (provided, however, that, in each case, in order to consummate such Realization Event, such Junior Lender will not be required to cure an Event of Default under the Whole Loan or any Senior Junior Loan that results solely from the failure of Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower to repay the Whole Loan or any Senior Junior Loan in full as a result of the occurrence of the Stated Maturity Date); provided, however, that nothing in this sentence is intended as (i) a waiver by Mortgage Lender or any Senior Junior Lender of any default or of any rights or remedies Mortgage Lender or any Senior Junior Lender may have as a result of such default or otherwise under the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Senior Junior Loan Documents, at law or in equity or (ii) any agreement on the part of Mortgage Lender or any Senior Junior Lender to extend the term of the Whole Loan or any Senior Junior Loan or otherwise modify any of Mortgage Loan Documents or any Senior Junior Lender in any respect except as expressly set forth the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement;

 

(v)       if a non-consolidation opinion was delivered in connection with the closing of the Whole Loan or any Senior Junior Loan, the Equity Transferee is required to deliver a new non-consolidation opinion relating to the Equity Transferee acceptable to Mortgage Lender and each applicable Senior Junior Lender, and meeting the then-current criteria of the Rating Agencies within ten (10) Business Days after the transfer of title to the Equity Collateral;

 

89

 

(vi)       the applicable Junior Lender is required to provide written notice of the transfer and an officer’s certificate from an officer of such Junior Lender certifying that all conditions set forth in this paragraph have been (or will be, in which case such Junior Lender is required to provide one or more additional officer’s certificates upon satisfaction of such conditions) satisfied to Mortgage Lender (or after a Securitization, the applicable Rating Agencies rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates) and any Senior Junior Lenders upon consummation of any Realization Event pursuant to this paragraph. The applicable Junior Lender agrees that if it fails to timely deliver to Mortgage Lender and any Senior Junior Lender any of the notices required to be delivered by it pursuant to this paragraph, then (A) the applicable Realization Event will not be a valid or effective Realization Event and will be null and void ab initio and (B) any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against Borrower or any Junior Borrower by Equity Transferee or any of its Affiliates will be deemed to be a bad faith and ultra vires filing;

 

(vii)       as a condition precedent to the consummation of any Realization Event, an Acceptable New Guarantor is required to (i) execute and deliver to Mortgage Lender and each applicable Senior Junior Lender new guaranties and indemnities (individually and collectively, the “New Guaranty”) in respective forms substantially similar to the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement (and no less favorable to Mortgage Lender and, if applicable, each Senior Junior Lender, than the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement delivered on the Origination Date (or otherwise approved by such Junior Lender), pursuant to which such Acceptable New Guarantor will have liability solely for acts and omissions occurring on and after the date of the consummation of any Realization Event (the “Future Third Party Obligations”), and (ii) deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Mortgage Lender (or after a Securitization, the applicable Rating Agencies rating the Certificates and the Loan-Specific Certificates) and, if applicable, each Senior Junior Lender, an opinion of counsel that the New Guaranty has been duly authorized and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Acceptable New Guarantor, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally and by general principles of equity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, the Acceptable New Guarantor will not have any liability under any New Guaranty for any Guaranteed Obligations that first arise from and after the date that Mortgage Lender, its designee or nominee takes title to the Mortgaged Property by foreclosure, deed in lieu or otherwise, or from and after the date that any Subordinate Junior Lender, its designee or nominee takes title to the applicable Equity Collateral by foreclosure, assignment in lieu or otherwise; provided that the Acceptable New Guarantor will not be entitled to the above-mentioned limitations on liability if any such Guaranteed Obligations are caused by the affirmative acts of the Acceptable New Guarantor or any Affiliate of the Acceptable New Guarantor (it being understood that neither Borrower nor any Junior Borrower will be deemed an Affiliate of the Acceptable New Guarantor until such Junior Lender has completed a foreclosure, assignment in lieu or other realization upon the applicable Equity Collateral). For the avoidance of doubt, any New Guaranty delivered to Mortgage Lender prior to the consummation of a Realization Event pursuant to this paragraph will only become effective upon the consummation of the related Realization Event. As used herein, an “Acceptable New Guarantor” means a Person that owns, directly or indirectly, at least ten percent (10%) of the ownership interest in and controls (as described in clause (ii) of the definition of Control) the Equity Transferee of title to the Equity Collateral that (A) has a Net Worth (as defined in the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations) (excluding such Person’s interest in the Mortgaged Property) of at least $500,000,000.00 and Liquid Assets (as defined in the Guaranty of Recourse Obligations) of at least $50,000,000.00, (B) is or is controlled (as described in clause (ii) of the definition of Control) by a Qualified Transferee, (C) is not a Disqualified Person or identified on the OFAC List, and (D) is not then the subject of a bankruptcy proceeding.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement or in the Mortgage Loan Documents or any Senior Junior Loan Documents, the Equity Transferee will have no obligation to cure, and Mortgage Lender and each Senior Junior Lender is required to waive, any non-monetary default under the Whole Loan and any Senior Junior Loan which (X) remains uncured as of the date of the Transfer of the Equity Collateral, and (Y) is not susceptible of being cured by such Equity Transferee; provided that (I) there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or to Mortgage Lender’s Lien on any of the collateral for the Mortgage Loan, in each case as determined by Mortgage Lender in good faith, or with respect to any Senior Junior Loan, the related Equity Collateral or to Senior Junior Lender’s Lien on any of the collateral for such Senior Junior Loan, in each case as determined by such Senior Junior Lender in good faith, (II) such default is not caused by, and does not consist of a bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower or any Senior Junior Borrower, and (III) such Equity Transferee reimburses Mortgage Lender and each Senior Junior Lender for any out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including, without limitation, Protective Advances and interest thereon) reasonably incurred by it as a result of such non-monetary default.

 

In the event an Equity Transferee obtains title to the Equity Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions under this heading, Mortgage Lender and each Senior Junior Lender hereby agrees that it will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Equity Transferee to effect the amendment of the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Senior Junior Loan Documents, if applicable, to make substantively consistent changes to the existing permitted Affiliate transfer provisions contained therein to reflect the organizational structure of such Equity Transferee and such Person’s Affiliates in lieu of that of Borrower and its Affiliates or any Senior Junior Borrower and its Affiliates, as applicable, and to refer thereafter to such Equity Transferee and such Person’s respective Affiliates instead of Borrower or its Affiliates or any Senior Junior Borrower and its Affiliates, as applicable; provided, that such amendments

Cure Rights

 

Prior to Mortgage Lender commencing any Enforcement Action under the Mortgage Loan Documents (excluding on the Stated Maturity Date of the Mortgage Loan, for which no notice is required), Mortgage Lender is required to provide written notice of the Mortgage Loan Event of Default under the Whole Loan which would permit Mortgage Lender to commence such Enforcement Action to each of the Junior Lenders and any Loan Pledgee entitled to notice thereof pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, whether or not Mortgage Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to Borrower (each, a “Mortgage Loan Default Notice”) and is required to permit Junior Lenders an opportunity to cure the underlying default which precipitated such Mortgage Loan Event of Default in accordance with the provisions set forth under this heading; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, in the event Borrower fails to repay the Whole Loan in full on the maturity date thereof, then Junior Lenders will not have the right to cure such maturity default, but will have the right to purchase the Whole Loan pursuant to the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in “—Purchase Rights” below. Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to the Mortgage Loan, a Junior Lender is required to provide all Lenders with written notice thereof and thereafter is required to keep such Lenders informed as to its progress as well as any abandonment of such cure promptly after such abandonment. In the event Mortgage Lender has delivered a Mortgage Loan Default Notice that has not been cured by Junior Lenders pursuant to the provisions set forth under this heading, Mortgage Lender is required to provide Junior Lenders with copies of any and all material notices relating to such Mortgage Loan Event of Default, and otherwise upon request keep Junior Lenders reasonably apprised as to the current status of any Enforcement Action, provided, however, that, Senior Lender’s obligations set forth in this sentence shall not be a condition to Senior Lender’s completion of an Enforcement Action and Senior Lender’s failure to give any such additional notices or to keep each Junior Lender reasonably apprised as to the status of any Enforcement Action shall not give rise to any right of Junior Lenders to, or to move or otherwise seek to, stay, delay, postpone, prevent or otherwise interfere with any Enforcement Action except to the extent that any Junior Lender is actually prejudiced by such failure.

 

If the underlying default which precipitated such Mortgage Loan Event of Default is a monetary default relating to a liquidated sum of money, Junior Lenders will have until twelve (12) Business Days after the later of (i) the receipt (or deemed receipt) by Junior Lenders of the Mortgage Loan Default Notice and (ii) the expiration of Borrower’s cure provision, if any (a “Monetary Cure Period”) to cure such monetary default; provided, however, that in the event a Junior Lender elects to cure any such monetary default, such Junior Lender is required to (x) reimburse and pay Mortgage Lender for all actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties and disbursements arising under the pooling and servicing agreement for the Mortgage Loan, to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Mortgage Lender due to or arising from such Monetary Cure Period (but only to the extent such Monetary Cure Period extends later than two (2) Business Days after the Mortgage Loan Default Notice), (y) without duplication of the foregoing, reimburse Mortgage Lender for any interest charged by Mortgage Lender or its servicer on any advances required under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Whole Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Monetary Cure Period, and (z) without duplication of the foregoing, if the monetary default is not cured within the Monetary Cure Period, pay Mortgage Lender the excess of interest accruing at the default rate under the Mortgage Loan Documents over interest accruing at the rate of interest which would have been payable by Borrower in the absence of such default under the Whole Loan for the number of days after the expiration of the Monetary Cure Period that such Mortgage Loan Event of Default continued uncured less any amounts paid by Junior Lenders under clause (y) above (it being understood that Mortgage Lender is not obligated to accept any such cure after the expiration of the Monetary Cure Period). No Junior Lender will have the right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled debt service payments on the Whole Loan for a period of more than six (6) months during any consecutive twelve (12) month period of the Whole Loan unless such Junior Lender has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Junior Lender

 

93

 

will be required, in order to effect a cure under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement to pay any interest at the Default Rate or late charges under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and no interest at the Default Rate or late charges will accrue against any Junior Lender prior to expiration of the Monetary Cure Period. In the event more than one Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, Mortgage Lender hereby agrees (1) to accept the cure from the junior-most Junior Lender and (2) to return to the applicable Senior Junior Lender within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior-most Junior Lender any funds tendered by such Senior Junior Lender. The Monetary Cure Period for a Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default will run concurrently with the cure period for the other Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event will such cure periods run sequentially. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Junior Lender elects to pursue such cure of defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments as set forth above and thereafter either fails to make the required cure payments or fails to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as required above, then notwithstanding the earlier election of the remaining Junior Lender not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments, such remaining Junior Lender will be entitled to succeed to all such cure rights, upon written notice to Mortgage Lender, so long as such remaining Junior Lender promptly or during the Monetary Cure Period commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral as required above and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this paragraph. If the default referenced in a Mortgage Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer a Mortgage Loan Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents, Junior Lenders will have the same Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Mortgage Loan Default Notice.

 

If the underlying default which precipitated the Mortgage Loan Event of Default is of a non-monetary nature, Junior Lenders will have the following cure periods (each, a “Non-Monetary Cure Period”):

 

(i)       Mezzanine D Lender shall have until the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the receipt by Mezzanine D Lender of a Senior Loan Default Notice and fifteen (15) Business Days after the expiration of Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Loan Documents, to cure such non- monetary default;

 

(ii)       if Mezzanine D Lender does not exercise the cure rights pursuant to clause (i) above, then Mezzanine C Lender shall have until the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the receipt by Mezzanine C Lender from Senior Lender of notice that Mezzanine D Lender failed to exercise the right to cure the default specified in a Senior Loan Default Notice and (B) eighteen (18) Business Days after the expiration of Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default;

 

(iii)       if Mezzanine C Lender does not exercise the cure rights pursuant to clause (ii) above, then Mezzanine B Lender shall have until the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the receipt by Mezzanine B Lender from Senior Lender of notice that Mezzanine C Lender failed to exercise the right to cure the default specified in a Senior Loan Default Notice and (B) twenty (20) Business Days after the expiration of Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default; and

 

(iv)       if Mezzanine B Lender does not exercise the cure rights pursuant to clause (iii) above, then Mezzanine A Lender shall have until the later of (A) five (5) Business Days after the receipt by Mezzanine A Lender from Senior Lender of notice that Mezzanine B Lender failed to exercise the right to cure the default specified in a Senior Loan Default Notice and (B) twenty-five (25) Business Days after the expiration of Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the Senior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default.

 

Notwithstanding the applicable Non-Monetary Cure Period with respect to each Junior Lender, if (i) such non-monetary default identified in a Mortgage Loan Default Notice is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the Non-Monetary Cure Period or, if not susceptible of cure without foreclosure of the Equity Collateral or not susceptible to cure at all, a Junior Lender is diligently pursuing foreclosure of its Equity Collateral (subject to any applicable stay) and (ii) curative action, which may include, in the case of a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure during the applicable Non-Monetary Cure Period,

 

94

 

an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action, was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by a Junior Lender (subject to any applicable stay), such Junior Lender will be given such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or to foreclose if the non-monetary default is not susceptible of cure without foreclosure of the Equity Collateral, or not susceptible to cure at all) for so long as (i) Borrower or such Junior Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and/or interest payments under the Whole Loan and any other amounts due under the Mortgage Loan Documents as and when the same are due thereunder (i.e., without additional cure or grace periods), (ii) such additional period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days; provided, however, in the event such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such ninety (90) day period, such Junior Lender will have an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or to foreclose on the Equity Collateral if the non-monetary default is not susceptible of cure without the foreclosure of the Equity Collateral), such additional period of time not to another ninety (90) day period, so long as such Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default (or the foreclosure on the Equity Collateral) and all of the conditions in this paragraph are satisfied, (iii) such default is not caused by a bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower and (iv) during such non-monetary cure period, there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property or of Mortgage Lender’s Lien on any of the collateral for the Mortgage Loan, in each case as determined by Mortgage Lender in its good faith discretion. If a Junior Lender has commenced exercising any such cure right during a Non-Monetary Cure Period and elects not to proceed with such cure, such Junior Lender is required to promptly notify Mortgage Lender and, if applicable, Senior Junior Lender, and Senior Junior Lender will be deemed in compliance with the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement if it commences curing such event within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such election not to proceed with such cure by Subordinate Junior Lender and otherwise complies with the provisions of this paragraph. If a Subordinate Junior Lender is exercising its cure right pursuant to this paragraph, it is required to consult with each Senior Junior Lender and keep each Senior Junior Lender informed as to its progress. Any non-monetary and/or additional cure period granted to such Junior Lender under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement will automatically terminate upon the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower which, in the case of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing thereof.

 

Prior to accelerating a Senior Junior Loan or commencing any other Equity Collateral Enforcement Action by reason of an Event of Default under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, the related Senior Junior Lender is required to provide written notice of the default which would permit such Senior Junior Lender to commence such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action to each Subordinate Junior Lender and any Loan Pledgees entitled to notice thereof pursuant to the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, whether or not such Senior Junior Lender is obligated to give notice thereof to the Senior Junior Borrower under such Senior Junior Loan (each, a “Junior Loan Default Notice”). Except in connection with such Senior Junior Borrower’s failure to repay such Senior Junior Loan in full in cash on the maturity date thereof, such Senior Junior Lender is required to permit such Subordinate Junior Lender an opportunity to cure such default in accordance with the provisions set forth under this heading and is not permitted to accelerate such Senior Junior Loan or commence any other Equity Collateral Enforcement Action on account of such default unless such cure is not effectuated within the applicable cure period provided for in this paragraph or the following paragraph. In the event such Senior Junior Borrower fails to repay such Senior Junior Loan in full in cash on the maturity date thereof, each Subordinate Junior Lender will have the right to purchase such Senior Junior Loan as set forth under the heading “—Purchase Rights”. Prior to or concurrently with undertaking any curative action with respect to a Senior Junior Loan, a Subordinate Junior Lender is required to provide the related Senior Junior Lender with written notice thereof. A Senior Junior Lender is required to keep each Subordinate Junior Lender reasonably apprised as to the status of any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.

 

If the default identified in a Junior Loan Default Notice is a monetary default relating to the payment of interest or scheduled principal (if any) or a liquidated sum of money, (i) each Subordinate Junior Lender will have until twelve (12) Business Days after the later of (i) the receipt (or deemed receipt) by the applicable Senior Junior Lender of such Junior Loan Default Notice and (ii) the expiration of such Senior Junior Borrower’s cure provision, if any (such period, the “Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period”); provided, however,

 

95

 

in the event a Junior Lender elects to cure any such monetary default, such Junior Lender is required to (x) reimburse and pay the applicable Senior Junior Lender for all actual out-of-pocket costs, expenses, losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, penalties and disbursements arising under the pooling and servicing agreement for the applicable Senior Junior Loan, to the extent imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Senior Junior Lender due to or arising from such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period (but only to the extent such Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period extends later than two (2) Business Days after the Junior Loan Default Notice), (y) without duplication of the foregoing, reimburse Senior Junior Lender for any interest charged by Senior Junior Lender or its servicer on any advances required under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Senior Junior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, and (z) without duplication of the foregoing, if the monetary default is not cured within the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period, pay the applicable Senior Junior Lender the excess of interest accruing at the default rate under the related Senior Junior Loan Documents over interest accruing at the rate of interest which would have been payable by the applicable Senior Junior Borrower in the absence of such default under such Senior Junior Loan for the number of days after the expiration of the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period that such Event of Default continued uncured less any amounts paid by a Junior Lender under clause (y) above (it being understood that a Senior Junior Lender is not obligated to accept any such cure after the expiration of the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period). No Junior Lender will have the right to cure as hereinabove set forth with respect to monthly scheduled debt service payments on any Senior Junior Loan for a period of more than six (6) months during any consecutive twelve (12) month period of such Senior Junior Loan unless such Junior Lender has commenced and is continuing to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Junior Lender will be required, in order to effect a cure under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement to pay any interest at the Default Rate or late charges under the Senior Junior Loan Documents, and no interest at the Default Rate or late charges will accrue against any Junior Lender prior to expiration of the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period. In the event that more than one Junior Lender cures any monetary default in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, each Senior Junior Lender hereby agrees (1) to accept the cure from the junior-most Junior Lender and (2) to return to the applicable Junior Lender within three (3) Business Days of accepting such cure from the junior-most Junior Lender any funds tendered by such Junior Lender. The cure period for a Junior Lender with respect to a monetary default will run concurrently with the cure period for the other Junior Lenders with respect to such monetary default and in no event will such cure periods run sequentially. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Junior Lender elects to pursue such cure of defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments as set forth above and thereafter either fails to make the required cure payments or fails to diligently pursue its rights against such Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral as required above, then notwithstanding the earlier election of the remaining Junior Lender not to cure the defaults involving monthly scheduled debt service payments, such remaining Junior Lender will be entitled to succeed to all such cure rights, upon written notice to each Senior Junior Lender, so long as such remaining Junior Lender promptly or during the Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period commences and thereafter diligently pursues its rights against its Equity Collateral as required above and otherwise satisfies the provisions of this paragraph. If the default referenced in a Junior Loan Default Notice has been cured such that there is no longer an Event of Default under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, Junior Lenders will have the same Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period with respect to any future Junior Loan Default Notice.

 

If the underlying default which precipitated the Event of Default is of a non-monetary nature, each Subordinate Junior Lender will have until the later of (A) fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt by it of a Junior Loan Default Notice and (B) thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower’s cure period, if any, for such non-monetary default provided in the related Senior Junior Loan Documents, to cure such non-monetary default the following cure periods (each, a “Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period”). Notwithstanding the applicable Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period with respect to each Junior Lender, if (i) such non-monetary default identified in a Junior Loan Default Notice is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within the Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period or, if not susceptible of cure without foreclosure of the Equity Collateral or not susceptible to cure at all, a Subordinate Junior Lender is diligently pursuing foreclosure of its Equity Collateral (subject to any applicable stay) and (ii) curative action, which may include, in the case of a non-monetary default that is not susceptible of cure during the applicable Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, an Equity Collateral Enforcement

 

96

 

Action, was promptly commenced and is being diligently pursued by a Subordinate Junior Lender (subject to any applicable stay), such Subordinate Junior Lender will be given such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or to foreclose if the non-monetary default is not susceptible of cure without foreclosure of the Equity Collateral, or not susceptible to cure at all) for so long as (i) Senior Junior Borrower or such Subordinate Junior Lender makes or causes to be made timely payment of Senior Junior Borrower’s regularly scheduled monthly principal (if any) and/or interest payments under the Senior Junior Loan and any other amounts due under the Senior Junior Loan Documents as and when the same are due thereunder (i.e., without additional cure or grace periods), (ii) such additional period of time does not exceed ninety (90) days; provided, however, in the event such non-monetary default is of a nature that cannot be cured within such ninety (90) day period, such Subordinate Junior Lender will have an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for such Subordinate Junior Lender in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary default (or to foreclose on the Equity Collateral if the non-monetary default is not susceptible of cure without the foreclosure of the Equity Collateral), such additional period of time not to exceed an additional ninety (90) day period, so long as such Subordinate Junior Lender is continuously and diligently pursuing a cure of such non-monetary default (or the foreclosure on the Equity Collateral) and all of the conditions in this paragraph are satisfied, (iii) such default is not caused by a bankruptcy proceeding by or against a Senior Junior Borrower and (iv) during such non-monetary cure period, there is no material impairment to the value, use or operation of the applicable Senior Junior Lender’s Equity Collateral or of Senior Junior Lender’s Lien on any of the collateral for the Senior Junior Loan, in each case as determined by Senior Junior Lender. If a Subordinate Junior Lender has commenced exercising any such cure right during a Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period and elects not to proceed with such cure, such Subordinate Junior Lender is required to promptly notify each remaining Subordinate Junior Lender and each remaining Subordinate Junior Lender will be deemed in compliance with the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement if it commences curing such event within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of such election not to proceed with such cure by the Subordinate Junior Lender that precedes it in priority of cure rights pursuant to this paragraph and otherwise complies with the provisions of this paragraph. If a Subordinate Junior Lender is exercising its cure right pursuant to this paragraph, it is required to consult with each Senior Junior Lender and keep each Senior Junior Lender informed as to its progress. Any non-monetary and/or additional cure period granted to such Subordinate Junior Lender under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement will automatically terminate upon the commencement of a bankruptcy proceeding of the applicable Senior Junior Borrower which, in the case of an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding, is not dismissed within ninety (90) days of filing thereof.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary under in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, , in the event that a Subordinate Junior Lender exercises its right set forth under this heading to cure any default (whether monetary or non-monetary) under the Whole Loan and at the time of such cure an Event of Default with respect to any Senior Junior Loan is then continuing, then such Subordinate Junior Lender will also be required to concurrently cure (or, in the case of a non-monetary default, commence and diligently pursue a cure of) each Event of Default (whether monetary or non-monetary) under such Senior Junior Loan. Mortgage Lender may not accept a cure of a default (whether monetary or non-monetary) under the Whole Loan without notice from each applicable Senior Junior Lender that the applicable Subordinate Junior Lender has cured each Event of Default (whether monetary or non-monetary) under the related Senior Junior Loan in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement.

 

So long as no Continuing Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Mortgage Loan Documents, all funds held and applied pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement and Mortgage Loan Agreement will continue to be applied pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement and Mortgage Loan Agreement and will not be applied by Mortgage Lender to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan.

 

Purchase Rights

 

If (1) an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents occurs and Mortgage Lender notifies Borrower of Mortgage Lender’s intention to exercise any of its remedies under the Mortgage Loan Documents (subject to Mortgage Lender’s obligations under this paragraph), (2) Borrower has become a

 

97

 

debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding, (3) the Whole Loan has been accelerated, (4) any Enforcement Action has been commenced by Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents or (5) the Whole Loan is a “specially serviced mortgage loan” under the applicable pooling and servicing agreement or trust and servicing agreement (each of the foregoing, a “Purchase Option Event”), Mortgage Lender is required to provide prompt written notice thereof (a “Purchase Option Notice”) to Junior Lenders (other than in the case of a Stated Maturity Default, where no such notice from Mortgage Lender will be required), and, upon fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to Mortgage Lender and the other Junior Lenders (the “Purchase Notice”), each Junior Lender will have the right to purchase, in whole but not in part, the Whole Loan for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) (i) the outstanding principal balance thereof, together with all accrued interest, and other amounts due thereon, (ii) any unreimbursed Protective Advances, monthly advances of principal and interest or “servicing advances” made by Mortgage Lender or the Whole Loan servicer and any interest charged by Mortgage Lender on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on the Whole Loan and/or on any Protective Advances, (iii) any workout fee or liquidation fee payable under any applicable pooling and servicing agreement, provided, that (A) the annual special servicing fee rate shall not exceed twenty-five basis points per annum (0.25%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan, (B) the aggregate workout fee rate shall not exceed 100 basis points (1.0%) of each collection of interest and principal received on the Mortgage Loan, and (C) the liquidation fee rate shall not exceed 100 basis points (1.0%) of any liquidation proceeds received on the Mortgage Loan; (iv) post-petition interest and (v) all reasonable costs and expenses (including special servicing fees and reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by Mortgage Lender or any servicer in enforcing the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, but specifically excluding (x) any prepayment fees or premiums, yield or spread maintenance premiums or fees, late charges, default interest (other than interest on advances as set forth in clause (ii) above) and/or exit fees and (y) notwithstanding clause (iii) above, in the event that a Junior Lender purchases the Whole Loan within ninety (90) days of the date it receives notice of the applicable Purchase Option Event, any workout or liquidation fees (collectively, the “Loan Purchase Price”). If a Senior Junior Lender delivers a Purchase Notice to Mortgage Lender (with a copy to each Subordinate Junior Lender), each Subordinate Junior Lender will thereafter have the right to subsequently deliver a Purchase Notice within three (3) Business Days of receiving such Senior Junior Lender’s Purchase Notice (provided, however, that if any two (2) or more Junior Loans are owned by the same Person or 50% or more owned by Persons that are Affiliates of each other, then no such Person or Affiliate will be afforded such additional three (3) Business Day Period). Once a Purchase Notice is delivered, the Junior Lender delivering such notice will be required to close the purchase of the Whole Loan (and, as set forth below, all Senior Junior Loans) within fifteen (15) Business Days after delivery of the Purchase Notice (such fifteen (15) Business Day period, the “Mortgage Loan Purchase Period”). In the event that more than one Junior Lender timely elects to purchase the Whole Loan pursuant to this paragraph), the most subordinate such Junior Lender will have the priority right to so purchase the Mortgage Loan, provided that (i) such Subordinate Junior Lender will also be required to concurrently purchase all Senior Junior Loans (relative to such Subordinate Junior Lender) from the Senior Junior Lenders for the Senior Junior Loan Purchase Prices, (ii) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Period for such Subordinate Junior Lender will commence on the earlier of delivery of its Purchase Notice or three (3) Business Days after original commencement date of the Mortgage Loan Purchase Period (if applicable as set forth above) (and not on the date of any previous Purchase Notice delivered by any other Junior Lender), and (iii) if such Subordinate Junior Lender defaults in its obligation to purchase the Mortgage Loan, such Subordinate Junior Lender will cease to have any right to purchase the Whole Loan and any Senior Junior Loans as provided in the succeeding paragraph and Mortgage Lender is required to notify the non-defaulting Junior Lenders of such default whereupon the most subordinate remaining Junior Lender that had elected to purchase the Whole Loan will have the right to elect to purchase the Whole Loan by delivering a Purchase Notice to Mortgage Lender within three (3) Business Days after Senior Junior Lender’s receipt of such notice from Mortgage Lender (provided, however, that if any two (2) or more Junior Loans are owned by the same Person or 50% or more owned by Persons that are Affiliates of each other, then no such Affiliate will be afforded such additional right to purchase the Whole Loan after such Person or Affiliate has so defaulted). A Subordinate Junior Lender may not close the purchase of the Whole Loan without concurrently closing the purchase of all Senior Junior Loans in accordance with the terms set forth under this heading unless such acquisition is not consummated solely as a result of a Senior Junior Lender’s failure to convey the applicable Senior Junior Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement. The right of each Junior Lender to purchase the Whole Loan (and, in the case of each Subordinate Junior Lender, each

 

98

 

applicable Senior Junior Loan) will automatically terminate (I) upon a transfer of the Mortgaged Property, by foreclosure sale, sale by power of sale or delivery of a deed in lieu, or assignment in lieu, as applicable, of foreclosure and acceptance thereof by Mortgage Lender, in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, or (II) to the extent such right arose with respect to a specific Purchase Option Event, if such Purchase Option Event ceases to exist; provided, however, that with respect to clause (I), in no event may any Junior Lender have less than thirty (30) days to deliver a Purchase Notice following receipt of notice from Mortgage Lender of the occurrence of a Purchase Option Event, it being acknowledged and agreed that each Junior Lender will be entitled to bid at foreclosure as permitted by applicable law.

 

If any Junior Lender has elected to purchase the Whole Loan and fails to complete such purchase within its Mortgage Loan Purchase Period or if a Subordinate Junior Lender fails to concurrently purchase the Senior Junior Loans as required under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement (unless such acquisition is not consummated solely as a result of Mortgage Lender’s or a Senior Junior Lender’s respective failure or inability to convey the respective Whole Loan or Senior Junior Loan in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement; it being understood that no failure by Mortgage Lender or Senior Junior Lender to so convey the Whole Loan or Senior Junior Loan will affect the applicable Junior Lender’s obligation to purchase the Whole Loan or, if applicable, the Senior Junior Loan in accordance with the terms of this paragraph), then such Purchase Notice will be deemed invalid, such defaulting Junior Lender will cease to have any right to purchase the Whole Loan (and, if applicable, the Senior Junior Loans) in connection with the applicable Purchase Option Event, the remaining Junior Lenders will thereafter be entitled to exercise their respective purchase rights under, and in accordance with, the first paragraph of this section), and if a Subordinate Junior Lender is the defaulting Junior Lender then Senior Junior Lenders will cease to have any obligation to forbear from exercising remedies set forth under this heading or otherwise. Concurrently with payment to Mortgage Lender of the Loan Purchase Price, Mortgage Lender will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Junior Lender delivering the Loan Purchase Price all Mortgage Loan Documents held by or on behalf of Mortgage Lender and all amounts then held in any reserve or escrow account controlled by or held on account of Mortgage Lender and will execute or cause to be executed in favor of such Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Junior Lender, to assign the Whole Loan and its rights under the Mortgage Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to (x) the power and authority of Mortgage Lender to enter into the applicable assignment documentation, (y) Mortgage Lender’s ownership and not having assigned, transferred, participated, or encumbered its rights in the Whole Loan other than with respect to any participation, encumbrance or other action which will be satisfied or released as of the date of such assignment and (z) the outstanding principal balance of the Mortgage Loan. Concurrently with payment to a Senior Junior Lender of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price, such Senior Junior Lender will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Subordinate Junior Lender delivering the Junior Purchase Notice all Senior Junior Loan Documents held by or on behalf of such Senior Junior Lender and all amounts then held in any reserve or escrow account controlled by or held on account of such Senior Junior Lender and will execute or cause to be executed in favor of such Subordinate Junior Lender or its designee assignment documentation, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to such Subordinate Junior Lender, at the sole cost and expense of such Subordinate Junior Lender, to assign such Senior Junior Loan and its rights under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents (without recourse, representations or warranties, except for representations as to (x) the power and authority of Senior Junior Lender to enter into the applicable assignment documentation, (y) Senior Junior Lender’s ownership and not having assigned, transferred, participated, or encumbered its rights in the Senior Junior Loan other than with respect to any participation, encumbrance or other action which will be satisfied or released as of the date of such assignment) and (z) the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Senior Junior Loan.

 

If (1) an Event of Default under the Senior Junior Loan Documents occurs and Senior Junior Lender notifies the applicable Senior Junior Borrower of Senior Junior Lender’s intention to exercise any of its remedies under the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents (subject to Senior Junior Lender’s obligations set forth under “—Cure Rights”), (2) a Senior Junior Borrower has become a debtor in any bankruptcy proceeding, (3) the Senior Junior Loan has been accelerated, or (4) any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action has been commenced by a Senior Junior Lender under the applicable Senior Junior Loan

Documents (each of the foregoing, a “Junior Purchase Option Event”), Senior Junior Lender is required to provide prompt written notice thereof (a “Junior Purchase Option Notice”) to each Subordinate Junior Lender (other than in the case of a Stated Maturity Default, where no such notice from a Senior Junior Lender will be required), and, upon fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice to Senior Junior Lender and the other Junior Lenders (the “Junior Purchase Notice”), each Subordinate Junior Lender will have the right to purchase, in whole but not in part, such Senior Junior Loan for a price equal to the sum of (without duplication) (i) the outstanding principal balance thereof, together with all accrued interest, and other amounts due thereon, (ii) any unreimbursed Protective Advances, monthly advances of principal and interest or “servicing advances” made by such Senior Junior Lender or Senior Junior Loan servicer and any interest charged by such Senior Junior Lender on any advances for monthly payments of principal and/or interest on such Senior Junior Loan and/or on any Protective Advances, (iii) post-petition interest and (iv) all reasonable costs and expenses (including special servicing fees and reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by such Senior Junior Lender or any servicer in enforcing the terms of the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents, but specifically excluding any prepayment fees or premiums, yield or spread maintenance premiums or fees, late charges, default interest (other than interest on advances as set forth in clause (ii) above) and/or exit fees (collectively, the “Senior Junior Loan Purchase Price”). The right of any Subordinate Junior Lender to purchase a Senior Junior Loan will automatically terminate (I) upon a Transfer of the Equity Collateral covered by the related Senior Junior Loan Documents pursuant to any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, or (II) to the extent such right arose with respect to a specific Junior Purchase Option Event, if such Junior Purchase Option Event ceases to exist; provided, however, that with respect to clause (I), in no event will any Subordinate Junior Lender have less than thirty (30) days to deliver a Junior Purchase Notice following receipt of notice from a Senior Junior Lender of the occurrence of a Junior Purchase Option Event, it being acknowledged and agreed that a Subordinate Junior Lender will be entitled to bid at foreclosure as permitted by applicable law.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, but subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, Mortgage Lender and each Junior Lender agree that:

 

(i)        Mortgage Lender is not permitted to not accept (or cause any nominee or designee to accept) a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without first providing each Junior Lender with at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice (a “DIL Notice”) of Mortgage Lender’s good faith intention to accept a deed-in-lieu with respect to the Premises within the forty-five (45) day period following delivery of such DIL Notice;

 

(ii)       if no Junior Lender delivers a Purchase Notice within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of a DIL Notice, or if a Junior Lender delivers a Purchase Notice but does not consummate the purchases within the period of time provided under this heading (other than by reason of the default of Mortgage Lender), and subject to the notice to each Senior Junior Lender and subsequent right of each such Senior Junior Lender to deliver a Purchase Notice described herein, if applicable, the Mortgage Lender shall have the right, for forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the applicable ten (10) Business Day period, to accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, and

 

(iii)       if the Mortgage Lender does not accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure prior to the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period described in the preceding subparagraph (ii), Mortgage Lender is not permitted thereafter to accept a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure without again complying with all of the provisions of this paragraph.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing: (i) Mortgage Lender may not give a DIL Notice during any Monetary Cure Period or Non-Monetary Cure Period, and (ii) no DIL Notice may be delivered if a Junior Lender has commenced an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action with respect to its Equity Collateral and thereafter is continuously and diligently pursuing the completion of such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, but subject to the last sentence of this paragraph, each Senior Junior Lender and each Subordinate Junior Lender agree that:

 

100

 

(i)        Senior Junior Lender is not permitted to accept (or cause any nominee or designee to accept) a conveyance-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to its Equity Collateral (without first providing each Subordinate Junior Lender with at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior written notice (a “CIL Notice”) of Senior Junior Lender’s good faith intention to accept a conveyance-in-lieu with respect to its Equity Collateral within the forty-five (45) day period following delivery of such DIL Notice;

 

(ii)       if no Subordinate Junior Lender delivers a Junior Purchase Notice within ten (10) Business Days following the delivery of a CIL Notice, or if a Subordinate Junior Lender delivers a Junior Purchase Notice but does not consummate the purchases within the period of time provided under this heading (other than by reason of the default of the applicable Senior Junior Lender), the applicable Senior Junior Lender will have the right, for forty-five (45) days after the expiration of the applicable ten (10) Business Day period, to accept such conveyance-in-lieu of foreclosure, and

 

(iii)       if Senior Junior Lender does not accept such conveyance-in-lieu of foreclosure prior to the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period described in the preceding subparagraph (ii), Senior Junior Lender is not permitted thereafter to accept a conveyance-in-lieu of foreclosure without again complying with all of the provisions of this paragraph.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing: (i) Senior Junior Lender may not give a CIL Notice during any Junior Loan Monetary Cure Period or Junior Loan Non-Monetary Cure Period, and (ii) no CIL Notice may be delivered if a Junior Lender has commenced an Equity Collateral Enforcement Action with respect to its Equity Collateral and thereafter is continuously and diligently pursuing the completion of such Equity Collateral Enforcement Action.

 

Each Junior Lender has covenanted not to enter any agreement with any Borrower Party purchase the Whole Loan or any Junior Loan pursuant to the terms set forth in this section or in connection with any refinancing of the Whole Loan or any Junior Loan in any manner designed to avoid or circumvent the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Documents or any of the Junior Loan Documents relating to the payment of a prepayment fee, exit fee, late charge, default interest, liquidated damages or yield maintenance charge in connection with a prepayment of the Whole Loan or a Junior Loan.

 

Transfer Restrictions

 

No Junior Lender is permitted to Transfer in the aggregate (taking into account prior Transfers) more than 49% of its beneficial interest in its respective Junior Loan to any Person unless either (i) a Rating Agency Confirmation has been given with respect to such Transfer, in which case the related transferee will thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) such Transfer is to a Qualified Transferee, (iii) such Transfer is a Pledge effectuated in compliance with the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, (iv) in the event that no Certificates are then outstanding, such Transfer has been approved by Mortgage Lender, and, in the case of a Transfer by a Subordinate Junior Lender, each Senior Junior Lender has approved such Transfer in its sole discretion, in which case the related transferee will thereafter be deemed to be a “Qualified Transferee” for all purposes of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement or (v) such transfer complies with the provisions set forth under the heading “—Realization on Mezzanine Equity Collateral”. Any transferee of a direct interest in a Junior Loan must assume in writing the obligations of the applicable Junior Lender under the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement arising from and after such Transfer and agree to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement. Such proposed transferee (other than a Loan Pledgee (prior to its realization on its Pledge) or a participant in connection with a participation of a portion of a Junior Loan) is required to also remake each of the representations and warranties made by such transferring Junior Lender for the benefit of Mortgage Lender and the other Junior Lenders, with certain exceptions as set forth in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding any such Transfer or subsequent Transfer by a transferee of a Junior Lender, each Senior Junior Loan and the Senior Junior Loan Documents will be and remain a senior obligation in the respects set forth in the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement to the applicable Subordinate Junior Loan and the Subordinate Junior Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement to the contrary, no Junior

 

101

 

Lender nor any Loan Pledgee may Transfer all or any portion of its beneficial interest in a Junior Loan (A) to Borrower, a Junior Borrower or any Borrower Party or (B) in violation of the terms and conditions of the applicable Junior Loan Agreement, and any Transfer of any interest in the applicable Junior Loan in breach of the provisions of the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) of this sentence will be null and void and will constitute a breach of the Mezzanine Intercreditor Agreement, unless such Transfer results in the substantially contemporaneous extinguishment of such Junior Loan.

 

Termination of the Property Manager

 

Mortgage Lender has consented to each Junior Lender’s right pursuant to the related Junior Loan Documents, and each Junior Lender has consented to Mortgage Lender’s right pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the other Junior Lenders’ right pursuant to the applicable Junior Loan Documents, to cause the termination of the Property Manager, and the exercise of (or election not to exercise) such right will not (in and of itself) permit Mortgage Lender or any Junior Lender to declare an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan Documents or Junior Loan Documents or take any Enforcement Action or Equity Collateral Enforcement Action. In the event Mortgage Lender and one or more Junior Lenders have the right to so terminate the Property Manager, and Mortgage Lender fails to exercise (or fail to elect not to exercise) such rights, a Junior Lender may exercise such rights, provided such exercise may be superseded by any subsequent exercise of such rights by Mortgage Lender pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents or, in the case of a Subordinate Junior Lender, by a Senior Junior Lender pursuant to the Senior Junior Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything under this heading to the contrary, if the right of Mortgage Lender (or a Senior Junior Lender, as the case may be) to cause the termination of the Property Manager arises solely from an event of default by the Property Manager under the related Management Agreement, then Mortgage Lender is required to obtain the consent of each Junior Lender (and such Senior Junior Lender is required to obtain the consent of each Subordinate Junior Lender) in the event that Mortgage Lender (or such Senior Junior Lender, as applicable) elects not to exercise such right and thereby to retain the Property Manager as the Property Manager of the Mortgaged Property notwithstanding such event of default.

 

Notwithstanding anything under this heading to the contrary, if an Event of Default under the Whole Loan then exists or any other event has occurred (in each case which is not in the process of being cured by a Junior Lender as permitted hereby) pursuant to which Mortgage Lender has the right to cause the termination of the Property Manager pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents (or, at Mortgage Lender’s option, to elect not to exercise such right and to retain the then-current Property Manager), Mortgage Lender will have the sole right to elect not to exercise such right and to retain the then-current Property Manager (and in such case will notify each Junior Lender of such election).

 

Notwithstanding anything under this heading to the contrary but subject to Mortgage Lender’s rights and the other terms and conditions set forth under this heading, if an Event of Default under a Senior Junior Loan then exists or any other event has occurred (in each case which is not in the process of being cured by a Subordinate Junior Lender as permitted hereby) pursuant to which the related Senior Junior Lender has the right to cause the termination of the Property Manager pursuant to the applicable Senior Junior Loan Documents (or, at such Senior Junior Lender’s option, to elect not to exercise such right and to retain the then-current Property Manager), the most senior Senior Junior Lender will have the sole right as between such Senior Junior Lender and each Subordinate Junior Lender to elect not to exercise such right and to retain the then-current Property Manager (and in such case its required to notify each Subordinate Junior Lender of such election).

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

 

All capitalized terms used in this Annex A that are not defined in this free writing prospectus have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Loan Agreement.

 

The Borrower made the following representations and warranties in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Loan Agreement as of the Origination Date as to itself and the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Mortgaged Property.

1.1.3.       No Conflicts.

1.1.5.       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 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 (s) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Loan Agreement, and (b) the obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

1.1.6.       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 Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents. The property is “single asset real estate” as defined in 11 U.S.C. §101(51B) and pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §362(d)(3). 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 Whole 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 Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents. 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 Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

1.1.7.       Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by the Mortgage Loan Agreement or executed the Note, the Mortgage 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. After giving effect to the Whole Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Whole Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. In Borrower’s reasonable judgment, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Whole 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 Whole 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 amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No Bankruptcy Action exists against Borrower or any Principal, and neither Borrower nor Principal has ever been a party to a Bankruptcy Action. Neither

 

A-2

 

Borrower nor Principal is 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 or any Principal.

 

1.1.8.       Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower in the Mortgage Loan Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which is reasonably likely to adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Guarantor.

 

1.1.9.       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 Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. Compliance by Borrower and Guarantor with the provisions of the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Loan Agreement will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. Neither Guarantor nor Borrower has any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and is now continuing with respect to any such plan. The performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents and Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (b) 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 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 the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and (c) none of Borrower, Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is at the Origination Date, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the Origination Date, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in Section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and 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 the Lender in writing.

 

1.1.10.       Compliance. Except as set forth in the Physical Condition Report and any Environmental Report, 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 Mortgage Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed, nor the use of the Property by Tenants under the Leases and the contemplated accessory uses, will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or records, or agreements affecting the Property or any part thereof. Except as set forth in the Physical Condition Report and any Environmental Report, 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.

 

1.1.11.       Financial Information. All financial data with respect to the Property and Guarantor, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Whole Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of such material, (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 the federal income tax basis method of accounting, consistently applied (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted

 

A-3

 

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 Change on the Property or the operation thereof as a mixed use 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.

 

1.1.12.       Condemnation. No Condemnation or other similar proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best 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.

 

1.1.13.       Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Whole 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 the Mortgage Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

1.1.14.       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.

1.1.17.       Assessments. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Property that may, to Borrower’s knowledge, result in such special or other assessments.

 

1.1.18.       Enforceability. The Mortgage 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 Mortgage Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Mortgage Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and Borrower and Guarantor have not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

No Person has any possessory interest in the Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases are in full force and effect and to Borrower’s best knowledge, there are no defaults thereunder by either party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults thereunder except as set forth on the rent roll attached to the Yorkshire & Lexington Towers Loan Agreement at Schedule I.

Borrower and Guarantor have disclosed to Lender all material facts and have not failed to disclose any material fact that could cause any Provided Information or representation or warranty made herein to be materially misleading.

Other than in connection with the Mortgage Loan Documents and except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower has not sold, pledged, transferred or otherwise conveyed its interest in the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account;

 

(b)       Each of the Clearing Account and Cash Management Account shall constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC;

Borrower and Guarantor have each established on its books such charges, accruals and reserves in respect of taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges for all fiscal periods as are required by sound accounting principles consistently applied. None of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor knows of any proposed assessment for additional Federal, foreign or state taxes for any period, or of any basis therefor, that, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account such charges, accruals and reserves in respect thereof as such Person has made, could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Change with respect to Borrower, Guarantor or the Property.

(d)       The Tenant in Common Agreement provides that each Tenant in Common agrees that the Tenant in Common Agreement, and all rights and privileges and remedies of each Tenant in Common thereunder, including without limitation, any rights of first refusal, purchase options or other similar rights under the Tenant in Common Agreement, are subject and subordinate to the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and the Liens created thereby, and to all rights of the Lender thereunder.
