Section 2.3 Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan. Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be re-borrowed. Section 2.4 The Note and the other Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Section 2.5 Interest Rate. (a) Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue from the Closing Date at the Interest Rate until repaid in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof. (b) The following additional provisions shall apply and, subject to Section 2.5(c) hereof, the Interest Rate shall be determined in accordance with this Section 2.5(b): (i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a Benchmark Rate Loan, and the Interest Rate with respect to each Interest Period shall be the Benchmark Rate, unless the Loan is converted to (and for so long as the Loan remains) a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions hereof, in which case the Interest Rate with respect to the applicable Interest Period shall be the Prime Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Benchmark Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, or vice versa. (ii) Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to (A) a change in the Benchmark or Prime, as applicable, or (B) a conversion of the Loan from a Benchmark Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, or vice versa, shall, in each such case, become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change or conversion shall become effective. (iii) Subject to the final sentence of this clause (iii), upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Unavailability Event, Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof (which notice may be given by telephone, confirmed in writing) to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, then the related outstanding Benchmark Rate Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan and Borrower shall cooperate with any and all reasonable requests of Lender to make any necessary changes to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to conform the same to such change in the interest rate hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that both a Benchmark Unavailability Event and a Benchmark Transition Event have occurred, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Benchmark Transition Event shall govern and control unless a Benchmark Unavailability Event has also occurred with respect to the applicable


 
40 Benchmark Replacement, in which case the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Benchmark Unavailability Event shall govern and control. (iv) Subject to the final sentence of this clause (iv), if, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice of such determination (which notice may be given by telephone, confirmed in writing), to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a Benchmark Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Benchmark Transition Event has occurred, the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Benchmark Transition Event shall govern and control. (v) Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, the applicable Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder as of the applicable Benchmark Transition Date, without the need for any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and from and after such Benchmark Transition Date the Loan shall continue to be deemed to be a Benchmark Rate Loan, bearing interest at the new Benchmark. In no event shall Borrower have the right to change the Benchmark, or to unilaterally implement any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment. (vi) In connection with any Benchmark Transition Event, Lender shall have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower, Guarantor, or any other Person. In addition, within ten (10) Business Days after request by Lender, Borrower shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver, at Borrower’s cost and expense, all further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments, financing statements, transfers, documents, agreements, assurances, and such other instruments as Lender may reasonably require from time to time in such manner as Lender determines is reasonably necessary to implement any applicable Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In no event shall Borrower have the right to unilaterally implement any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. (vii) Lender shall promptly notify Borrower of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Transition Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and related Benchmark Replacement Adjustment and (C) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes; provided, however, that the failure of Lender to deliver any such notice to Borrower shall not in any way undermine the effectiveness of any of the foregoing. Any determination, decision or election


 
41 made by Lender pursuant to, or in connection with, this Section 2.5 (including, without limitation, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment, or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, or any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, or to make or refrain from making any election or selection) will be conclusive and binding on Borrower and all other parties to the Loan Documents, absent manifest error, and may be made in Lender’s sole discretion and without consent from, or consultation with, Borrower, Guarantor, or any other Person. (viii) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, including any interest, additions to tax, or penalties applicable thereto, excluding (a) net income, franchise and branch profits taxes (x) imposed as a result of Lender being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (y) that are imposed as a result of a present or former connection between Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such tax (other than connections arising from Lender having executed, delivered, become a party to, performed its obligations under, received payments under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to or enforced any Loan Document, or sold or assigned an interest in the Loan or Loan Document), (b) U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of Lender with respect to an applicable interest in the Loan (other than pursuant to an assignment request by Borrower) or Lender changes its lending office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(viii), amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to Lender’s assignor immediately before Lender became a party hereto or to Lender immediately before it changed its lending office, (c) taxes attributable to Lender’s failure to comply with Section 2.5(b)(xii) below, and (d) any withholding taxes imposed under FATCA (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence. Borrower shall indemnify Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Foreign Taxes (including Foreign Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.5(b)(viii)) payable or


 
42 paid by Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Foreign Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. All amounts payable under this Section 2.5(b)(viii) shall constitute additional interest hereunder and shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 2.5(b)(viii) shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Security Instrument. Any reference under this Section 2.5(b)(viii) to “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant, Co- Lender and any assignees. (ix) If any Change in Law shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a Benchmark Rate Loan at the then-applicable Benchmark as contemplated hereunder, then (A) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make such a Benchmark Rate Loan, or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a such a Benchmark Rate Loan, shall be canceled forthwith and (B) any outstanding Benchmark Rate Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after written demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any reasonable costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain such Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. (x) If any Change in Law: (A) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, tax, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark hereunder; (B) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or (C) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of


 
43 making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this subsection, Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days’ notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (xi) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs (A) to the extent resulting from any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of, or interest on, a Benchmark Rate Loan, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by Lender in order to maintain such Benchmark Rate Loan, (B) as a consequence of any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Benchmark Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder and (C) as a consequence of the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Interest Rate from the Benchmark Rate to the Prime Rate with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at the Benchmark Rate on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a Benchmark Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (A), (B) and (C) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. (xii) If Lender is a U.S. Person (other than the lender originally named herein), Lender shall deliver to Borrower, on or about the date on which it becomes Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), two executed copies of Form W-9 certifying that it is not subject to U.S. federal backup withholding tax (unless it establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Borrower that it is otherwise eligible for an exemption from backup withholding tax or other withholding tax). If Lender is not a U.S. Person, Lender shall deliver to Borrower, to the extent legally entitled to do so, on


 
44 or about the date on which it becomes Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable: (A) two executed copies Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN- E, establishing an exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under an applicable tax treaty, (B) two executed copies of Form W-8ECI, (C) if Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRS Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRS Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRS Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRS Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) two executed copies of Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W‑8BEN-E, or (D) two executed copies of Form W-8IMY, accompanied by Forms W-8BEN, W- 8BEN-E, W-9, and U.S. Tax Compliance Certificates, for each beneficial owner, as applicable. If a payment made to Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law for Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA. Solely for purposes of the preceding sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so. Any reference under this Section 2.5(b)(xii) to “Lender” shall be deemed to include any participant, Co- Lender and any assignees. (c) In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall, at Lender’s election, accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the Default occurred which led to such Event of Default, without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect. (d) Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date falls. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.


 
45 (e) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding. (f) In the event of a conversion of the Loan from a Benchmark Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, or vice versa, or the replacement of the then-applicable Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement, Borrower shall pay to Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for out-of-pocket costs and expenses in making such conversion or replacement in accordance with this Section 2.5. Section 2.6 Loan Payments. (a) Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only (calculated using the Closing Date as the Determination Date) on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through and including the next succeeding fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, whether such fourteenth (14th) day shall occur in the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs or in the month immediately succeeding the month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the fifteenth (15th) day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Each interest accrual period (the “Interest Period”) thereafter shall commence on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the fourteenth (14th) day of the next occurring calendar month. No Interest Period shall be shortened by reason of any payment of the Loan prior to the expiration of such Interest Period. (b) On each Monthly Payment Date throughout the term of the Loan, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan during the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs (each such payment, a “Monthly Debt Service Payment”), which payments shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest. (c) Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.


 
46 (d) If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of (i) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum and (ii) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. (e) Additionally: (i) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. (ii) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding Business Day. (iii) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto. (iv) Lender shall have the right one time during the term of the Loan, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day each month which is not earlier than the first (1st) of the calendar month and is not more than ten (10) days later than the originally scheduled Monthly Payment Date of each calendar month; provided, however, that (A) if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period correspondingly and (B) if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid to any calendar day earlier than the originally scheduled Monthly Payment Date of each calendar month, Borrower shall have a grace period for any amounts due on a Monthly Payment Date through the originally scheduled Monthly Payment Date of each calendar month. Section 2.7 Prepayments. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.7 hereof, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. On or after the Open Period


 
47 Start Date, Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon not less than forty-five (45) days (and not more than ninety (90) days) prior notice (except in the case of a Partial Release, in which case such notice shall be given in accordance with Section 6.7) to Lender (a “Prepayment Notice”), which notice must specify the date on which such prepayment is to be made, prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part other than partial prepayments made in connection with any Partial Release consummated in accordance with Section 6.7 hereof) on any date (other than a date from, and including, the tenth (10th) day of a calendar month through, and including, the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month); provided that such prepayment is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs, the Exit Fee and the Minimum Interest Payment, in each case to the extent applicable. In addition to the foregoing, any prepayment received by Lender shall include interest which would have accrued thereon through the remainder of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”). Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment unless Borrower has delivered the Prepayment Notice required hereunder and such prepayment is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs, the Exit Fee, the Minimum Interest Payment, in each case to the extent applicable, and the applicable Interest Shortfall due in connection therewith. Borrower hereby further agrees that, in the event Borrower delivers a Prepayment Notice and fails to prepay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.7 on the date specified in such Prepayment Notice, Borrower shall (i) pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs or similar expenses, as a result of such failure and (ii) be obligated to provide a new Prepayment Notice as a condition to any prepayment of the Loan pursuant to the requirements of this Section 2.7, except that such subsequent notice may be given with no less than thirty (30) days’ notice or such shorter period as may be reasonably approved by Lender. (b) On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender is not required pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to (and does not otherwise elect to) make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.7(b) shall be accompanied by (i) any applicable Interest Shortfall , the applicable portion of the Exit Fee and any Breakage Costs, (ii) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any amount due under Section 9.6 hereof), except that no Minimum Interest Payment shall be required in connection therewith, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. No prepayment premium or penalty (which shall not be deemed to include the Exit Fee, which shall be owed as provided for in this Agreement) shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b). (c) If concurrently with or after an Event of Default (including, without limitation, after acceleration of the Debt), payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by or on behalf of Borrower (including, without limitation, by virtue of an application of Reserve Funds or any other cash collateral for the Loan by Lender pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents), a purchaser at foreclosure


 
48 or any other Person, (i) such tender shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment made in violation of, and in an attempt to circumvent, the prohibition against prepayment set forth herein and (ii) Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Minimum Interest Payment, the Exit Fee and the Breakage Costs, in each case to the extent applicable, in addition to (A) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and (B) all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Interest Shortfall). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any prepayment of the Debt shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion. (d) In all events and under all circumstances Borrower shall be obligated to pay to Lender minimum interest in an amount equal to $14,400,000.00 (the “Minimum Interest”). Upon prepayment or repayment in full of the Obligations or the acceleration thereof in accordance with the terms of any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender an amount (such amount, the “Minimum Interest Payment”) equal to the positive difference, if any, between (i) the entire Minimum Interest, minus (ii) the aggregate total of all Monthly Debt Service Payments paid by Borrower during the term of the Loan (exclusive of any portions thereof constituting (A) interest accrued at the Default Rate in excess of the Interest Rate that would apply hereunder but for the existence of any Event of Default, or (B) payments of principal). In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (x) Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment or repayment of the Loan unless and until Borrower shall have complied with this Section 2.7(d), and (y) Lender shall have no obligation to release or, if requested by Borrower, assign the Note and Security Instrument upon payment of the Obligations unless and until Lender shall have received the entire Minimum Interest Payment. In the event that any Minimum Interest Payment is due hereunder, Lender shall deliver to Borrower a statement setting forth the amount and determination of the Minimum Interest Payment, and, provided that Lender shall have in good faith applied the formula described above, Borrower shall not have the right to challenge the calculation or the method of calculation set forth in any such statement in the absence of manifest error, which calculation may be made by Lender on any day during the fifteen (15) day period preceding the date of such prepayment. Lender shall not be obligated or required to have actually reinvested the prepaid principal balance at the Benchmark or otherwise as a condition to receiving the Minimum Interest Payment. Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Minimum Interest Payment shall constitute additional consideration for the Loan, and shall, upon payment, be the sole and exclusive property of Lender. (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall Borrower repay (or permit any other Person to repay) at maturity, or prepay (or permit any other Person to prepay) (which shall be deemed to include any repayment in connection with any acceleration of the Junior Loan and any acquisition of the Junior Loan by Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate of either of the foregoing), the Junior Loan, in whole or in part, unless (i) the Debt is contemporaneously repaid or defeased in full in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) the Debt has been previously repaid or defeased in


 
49 full in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement. Borrower’s failure to comply with the foregoing shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Section 2.8 Interest Rate Cap Agreement. (a) Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Benchmark strike rate equal to the Strike Rate. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall at all times be with a Counterparty, (iii) shall at all times be for a period equal to the term of the Loan, and (iv) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the face amount of the Note and shall at all times provide for the applicable Benchmark strike rate to be equal to the Strike Rate. Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into the Interest Rate Cap Reserve Account (or into such other Account as Lender may designate) any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof. Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Interest Rate Cap Reserve Account, or into such other Account as Lender may designate). (b) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Interest Rate Cap Reserve Account (or into such other Account as Lender may designate). Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder. (c) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by any Rating Agency below (i) a long term rating of “A-” by S&P or (ii) a long term rating of “A3” by Moody’s, Borrower shall (x) replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8) (a “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement”) from a Counterparty reasonably acceptable to Lender having a Minimum Counterparty Rating or (y) if provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are acceptable to the Rating Agencies.


 
50 (d) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender. (e) Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent: “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below (i) a long term rating of “A-” by S&P or (ii) a long term rating of “A3” by Moody’s, the Counterparty must, within ten (10) business days, either (x) post collateral on terms acceptable to each Rating Agency and Borrower, or (y) find a replacement Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency and Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.” In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to (i) deliver collateral as specified in the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (ii) find a replacement Counterparty, Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Lender’s approval with respect thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Borrower receives Lender’s prior written approval and shall approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Lender’s prior written approval. Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Section 2.8(e) shall constitute, at Lender’s option, an immediate Event of Default. (f) Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that: (i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;


 
51 (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law). (g) In the event of a conversion of the Loan from a Benchmark Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan, or vice versa, or the replacement of the Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following the occurrence thereof with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or other hedge arrangement reasonably acceptable to Lender and generally accepted as industry standard, as reasonably determined by Lender) pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender (including, without limitation, with respect to the strike rate or swapped rate, as applicable). (h) Borrower shall deliver to Lender a new Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement acceptable to Lender in connection with each Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Section 2.9 Assignment of Security Instrument. Upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, and upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower (including payment of Lender’s reasonable legal fees and expenses and then customary administrative fee in connection therewith), Lender shall cooperate with Borrower to effect an assignment of the Note and the Security Instrument to a new lender by assigning the Note and the Security Instrument, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, to such new lender designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or a nominee of Borrower) pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender.

(a) Subject only to Section 2.10(d) below, Borrower shall be obligated to pay the Exit Fee to Lender as follows: (i) upon any (and each) partial prepayment of the Loan


 
52 in accordance with the terms hereof, in addition to all other amounts payable to Lender under Section 2.7 hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender, on account of the Exit Fee, an amount equal to two percent (2.0%) of the amount so prepaid; (ii) upon any (and each) application of any condemnation awards or Net Proceeds to the Debt in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Security Instrument, two percent (2.0%) of the amount thereof shall be retained by Lender on account of the Exit Fee and the balance thereof shall be applied to the Debt; and (iii) upon repayment in full of the Debt or the acceleration thereof in accordance with the terms of any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Lender the entire Exit Fee which would be due on such date, less any amounts on account thereof previously paid to Lender under the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 2.10(a). (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lender shall have no obligation to accept any prepayment of the Loan unless and until Borrower shall have complied with this Section 2.10, and (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to release or assign any Loan Document upon payment of the Debt unless and until Lender shall have received the Exit Fee then due and payable. (c) Borrower expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Exit Fee shall constitute additional consideration for the Loan. (d) Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, upon any refinancing of the Loan with five (5) to ten (10) year fixed-rate financing by the initially-named Lender hereunder, or an Affiliate thereof, the Exit Fee due and payable in connection therewith shall be deemed to be zero (it being agreed, however, that in no event shall any refund be owed to Borrower on account of any amounts paid pursuant to Section 2.10(a) above).

Borrower agrees that all financial information delivered hereunder shall not contain any misrepresentation or omission of a material fact. Section 4.13 Contracts. (a) Borrower may enter into any Contract that is not a Major Contract without Lender’s consent so long as such Contract (i) contains terms that are commercially reasonable and comparable to existing local market terms for similar contractual agreements with respect to commercial properties similar to the Property as would be available from unaffiliated third parties and (ii) does not contain any terms which would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subject to Section 5.5(b), all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its Obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance; (iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the property and liability insurance coverage forms do not otherwise apply, coverage all in form and substance and with limits, terms and conditions acceptable to Lender including (A) commercial general liability and umbrella insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this Section 5.1(a); and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so called builder's risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsections (i), (iii), (vi), (x) and Section 5.1(h), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions; (v) workers' compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State in which the Property is located, and employer's liability insurance with limits which are required from time to time by Lender in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable); (vi) boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown insurance in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance Policy required under subsection (i) above (if applicable);

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to form and substance including deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation, in each case acceptable to Lender, evidencing the Policies, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. (c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Lender's approval and shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1(a).

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1(a) shall name Borrower as a named insured and, in the case of liability coverages (except for the Policies referenced in Sections 5.1(a)(v) and (viii)) shall name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property insurance coverages, including but not limited to boiler and machinery, terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee/lender's loss payable clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

87 loss payable clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. (e) All property insurance Policies provided for in Section 5.1(a) shall: (i) provide that no act or negligence of Borrower or any other insured under the Policy, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; (ii) provide that the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days' written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days' notice for non-payment of Insurance Premiums and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and (iii) not contain any provision that would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, except that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums pursuant to the mortgagee clause required herein. (f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, or Borrower shall fail to deliver certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation evidencing the Policies, evidence of payment and any other information required by Section 5.1(b), no less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any Policies, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all Insurance Premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(h) If any of the all risk/special form property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability or umbrella liability Policies include any


 
88 exclusions for loss, cost, damage or liability caused by “terrorism” or “terrorist acts”, Borrower shall obtain and maintain terrorism coverage to cover such exclusion(s) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1(i) (a “Qualified Carrier”) or, in the event that such terrorism coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such terrorism coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such terrorism coverage. (i) All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1(a): (i) shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the State with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A-” or better by S&P. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a portion of the coverage required hereunder with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (“Otherwise Rated Insurers”) in their current participation amounts and positions within the syndicate provided that (1) if the Loan is part of a Secondary Market Transaction where S&P rates any of the issued securities or classes of certificates in connection with such Securitization, Borrower shall replace the Otherwise Rated Insurers at renewal with insurance companies meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove and/or (2) if the current AM Best rating of any such Otherwise Rated Insurer is withdrawn or downgraded, Borrower shall replace any Otherwise Rated Insurer with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove.; (ii) shall, with respect to the property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability and umbrella Policies, contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (iii) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies; and (iv) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Compelete copies or other evidence acceptable to Lender of the Policies shall be delivered to Lender, at 1345 Avenue of the Americas, Suite 32A, New York, New York 10105, Attention: Micah Goodman, General Counsel, on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies; provided, however, that if complete copies of the current Policies are not available on the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender on the date hereof documentation acceptable to Lender evidencing such Policies and shall deliver to Lender certified copies of such Policies within ten (10) days after such Policies are available. Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1(a) above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes


 
89 in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like. Section 5.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of Restoration (including, without limitation, any applicable deductibles under the Policies) whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any such adjustment must be carried out by Borrower in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustment; provided, however, if Borrower fails to settle and adjust such claim within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Casualty, Lender shall have the right to settle and adjust such claim at Borrower’s cost and without Borrower’s consent. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Section 5.3 Condemnation. (a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation. Any such settlement and compromise must be carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. (b) Following any Condemnation, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute any Restoration of the Property that is required in order to restore the Property to as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, and Borrower shall otherwise comply with the provisions of


 
90 Section 5.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.4, in the event that (i) no Restoration is applicable following a Condemnation, or (ii) there are excess Net Proceeds remaining after completion of the applicable Restoration pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.4, then (A) an amount equal to the lesser of (x) $500,000 and (y) the amount of such Net Proceeds or excess Net Proceed, as applicable, shall be deposited in the Interest and Operating Expense Reserve Account for application in accordance with the terms of Section 7.10 hereof and (B) any remaining amount of such Net Proceeds or excess Net Proceeds, as applicable, shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt pursuant to the terms and conditions of Section 2.7(b) hereof, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. If Lender shall receive and retain any such Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. (c) Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Section 5.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property: (a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, then provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the condition in Section 9.6 hereof has been satisfied, subject to Section 5.5 hereof, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held for the benefit of Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof. (b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration


 
91 Threshold, subject to Section 5.5 hereof, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b). (i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met: (A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of each of (i) fair market value of the affected Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) rentable area of the affected Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the affected Individual Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) rentable area of the affected Individual Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Individual Property, no portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking does not materially impair the existing access to such Individual Property; (C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total rentable space in the affected Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower furnishes to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Tenants under Major Leases shall continue to operate their respective space at the Property after the completion of the Restoration; (D) Borrower shall commence (or shall cause the commencement of) the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws, and the applicable requirements of the Property Documents; (E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the affected Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;


 
92 (F) Lender shall be satisfied that the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender, are sufficient to cover the cost of the Restoration; (G) Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the fair market value and cash flow of the affected Individual Property will not be less than the fair market value and cash flow of such Individual Property as the same existed immediately prior to the applicable Casualty or Condemnation; (H) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) nine (9) months after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, (3) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Major Leases and the Property Documents, (4) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (5) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1(a)(iii) above; (I) Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and its counsel pursuant to the provisions of which Borrower and Guarantor shall jointly and severally guaranty to Lender the lien-free completion by Borrower of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 5.4(b); (J) the affected Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements and the Property Documents; (K) the Restoration shall be done and completed in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the Property Documents; (L) the Property Documents will remain in full force and effect during and after the Restoration and a Property Document Event shall not occur as a result of the applicable Casualty, Condemnation and/or Restoration; and (M) Lender shall be satisfied that making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration shall be permitted pursuant to REMIC Requirements (including, without limitation, satisfaction of the condition in Section 9.6 hereof) and, in that regard, Lender may require Borrower to deliver a REMIC Opinion in connection therewith. (ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security

The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy. (iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower shall have the right to settle all claims under the Policies jointly with Lender, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty. (iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage. The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Subsection 5.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 5.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Restoration


 
94 Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi- governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of the Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman. (v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month. (vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. (vii) Subject to Section 5.3(b) above, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Agent Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.


 
95 (c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 5.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt. (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that Borrower is entitled to a disbursement of Net Proceeds hereunder for any purpose other than Restoration, Borrower hereby authorizes and directs Lender to pay the same to Junior Lender to the extent that Junior Lender is entitled to the same under the terms and conditions of the Junior Loan Documents. Borrower further (i) agrees that Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on Junior Lender’s assertion that it is entitled to such Net Proceeds and (ii) hereby releases Lender and indemnifies Lender against any Losses that may be incurred by Lender as a result of any Person claiming that Lender improperly remitted such Net Proceeds to Junior Lender. Section 5.5 Business Interruption Proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article 5 to the contrary: (a) Subject to Section 5.5(b), payments received on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Section 5.1(a)(iii) above shall be deposited directly into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1(a)(iii) above, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, proceeds received by Lender on account of business or rental interruption or other loss of income insurance specified in Section 5.1(a)(iii) above shall be deposited by Lender into the Cash Management Account (in installments relating to the relevant period) to the extent such proceeds (or a portion thereof) reflect a replacement for lost Rents for the relevant period, as determined by Lender in good faith, and such proceeds shall be applied by Lender in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof. All other such proceeds not reflecting a replacement for lost Rents shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.4 hereof. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 5.5(a), if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied repay the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay off the Loan in full.

If, at any time, Lender determines in its commercially reasonable discretion that amounts on deposit or scheduled to be deposited in (i) the Tax Account will be insufficient to pay all applicable Taxes in full on the Tax Payment Date and/or (ii) the Insurance Account will be insufficient to pay all applicable Insurance Premiums in full on the Insurance Payment Date, Borrower shall make a payment into the applicable Reserve Account in an amount which will be sufficient to make up such insufficiency, as reasonably determined by Lender. Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority. Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Tax Account and Insurance Account, respectively, and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Tax and


 
104 Insurance Funds to the payment of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 4.7 and 5.1 hereof, Lender shall either return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Funds (such election to be made by Lender in its discretion). Section 7.3 Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds.

Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 7.3 are referred to herein as the “Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for Capital Expenditures from time to time based on Lender’s review of one or more updated property condition reports, and may require Borrower to increase the monthly deposits required pursuant to this Section 7.3 upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation of the Property. (b) Lender shall disburse Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds only for Capital Expenditures reasonably approved by Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Capital Expenditures to be paid; (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Capital Expenditures, (B) stating that all Capital Expenditures at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval required by any Governmental Authority in connection with the Capital Expenditures, (C) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Capital Expenditures to be funded by the requested disbursement and (D) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers, invoices and/or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender; (iv) at Lender’s option, if the cost of any individual Capital Expenditure exceeds $100,000, Lender shall have received a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances; (v) at Lender’s option, if the cost of any individual Capital Expenditure exceeds $100,000, Lender shall have received a report satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion from an architect or engineer approved by Lender in respect of such architect or engineer’s inspection of the applicable work; and (vi) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the


 
105 Capital Expenditures at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to disburse Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month nor in an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made). (c) Nothing in this Section 7.3 shall (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Capital Expenditures; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Capital Expenditures Reserve Funds to complete any Capital Expenditures; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Capital Expenditures; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete any Capital Expenditures. (d) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Capital Expenditures and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Capital Expenditures. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section.

Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 7.4 are referred to herein as the “Leasing Reserve Funds”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for tenant improvements and leasing commissions from time to time, and may require Borrower to increase the monthly deposits required pursuant to this Section 7.4 upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation of the Property. (b) Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Leasing Reserve Funds upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the tenant improvement costs and leasing

Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The provisions of this Section 7.8 (together with the other related provisions of the other Loan Documents) are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral and serve as a “security agreement” and a “control agreement” with respect to the same, in each case, within the meaning of the UCC. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein. The funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender, Borrower shall only be permitted to request (and Lender shall only be required to disburse) Reserve Funds on account of the liabilities, costs, work and other matters (as applicable) for which said sums were originally reserved hereunder, in each case, as reasonably determined by Lender. (b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited therein or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein. Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Account or Account Collateral. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, (1) Lender shall have no obligation to disburse funds from any Reserve Account within the sixty (60) day period prior to the Maturity Date and (2) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts, (ii) Lender may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted Investments pursuant to the applicable terms hereof to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other

(d) The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever. (e) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured. (f) Borrower and Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) shall maintain each applicable Account as an Eligible Account, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Lender. In the event that Lender or Servicer no longer satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution that satisfies such criteria. Borrower hereby grants Lender power of attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with respect to any such transfers and the establishment of accounts with a successor institution. (g) Interest accrued on any Account other than an Interest Bearing Account shall not be required to be remitted either to Borrower or to any Account and may instead be retained by Lender. Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments as provided for in Section 7.8(h) hereof. Interest accrued, if any, on sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be remitted to and become part of the applicable Account. All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable Account shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Account; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.


 
110 (h) Sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall, upon Borrower’s written request, be invested in Permitted Investments selected by Lender or Servicer provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) for accounts of this size, category and type (Borrower acknowledges that the Servicer or Lender may only offer as an investment opportunity the right to place funds on deposit in the applicable Accounts in an interest bearing account (bearing interest at the money market rate)), (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, State and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which sums in the Interest Bearing Accounts are required to be disbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. All income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments shall be property of Borrower and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) to hold any income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments as part of the applicable Interest Bearing Account. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, State or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments. No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be permitted. Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds in the Interest Bearing Accounts. (i) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender or Servicer for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Accounts, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Lender or Servicer in connection with the administration of the Accounts and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement. (j) Lender may, in its sole discretion, establish subaccounts maintained on ledger basis within each Reserve Account to allocate Reserve Funds with respect to each Individual Property. Any determination made by Lender pursuant to this Article 7 that the applicable Reserve Funds are insufficient to pay all costs for which a Reserve Account is established may be made by Lender, in its sole but reasonable discretion, by either (1) aggregating all Reserve Funds in such Reserve Account (regardless of allocation to an Individual Property) or (2) solely on the basis of Reserve Funds allocated to an Individual Property. Lender shall have no obligation to make Reserve Funds allocated to an Individual Property available to pay costs associated with any other Individual Property.

Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake any action required of Borrower under this Section 8.2 in the name of Borrower in the event Borrower fails to do the same. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

Section 8.3 Disbursements from the Cash Management Account. On each Monthly Payment Date, Lender or Servicer, as applicable, shall allocate all funds, if any, on deposit in the Cash Management Account and disburse such funds in the following amounts and order of priority:

Section 8.4 Withdrawals from the Debt Service Account. Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, funds on deposit in the Debt Service Account, if any, shall be used to pay Debt Service when due, together with any late payment charges or interest accruing at the Default Rate. Section 8.5 Payments Received Under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly


 
116 payment of Debt Service and amounts due for the Reserve Accounts shall (provided Lender is not prohibited from withdrawing or applying any funds in the applicable Accounts by operation of law or otherwise) be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in applicable Accounts to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender. Section 8.6 Certain Junior Loan Acknowledgements. (a) No provision of any Loan Document is intended to nor shall create a debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and the Junior Lender. (b) In the event Lender waives the requirement for Borrower to maintain the Clearing Account, the Cash Management Account or any of the Reserve Accounts, Lender consents to Borrower establishing and maintaining (as applicable) a lockbox account, cash management account and/or reserve accounts, as the case may be, that would operate as provided in herein. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower further consents to Lender transferring any available balances in the applicable Accounts to Junior Lender. Borrower further (i) agrees that Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on Junior Lender’s assertion that it is entitled to such available balances and (ii) hereby releases Lender and indemnifies Lender against any Losses that may be incurred by Lender as a result of any Person claiming that Lender improperly remitted such available balances to Junior Lender. (c) Borrower and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that if (i) the Debt has been paid in full, (ii) there are funds remaining in the Accounts, and (iii) the Junior Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not pay (or direct to be paid) any such remaining funds to Borrower, but rather shall deliver such funds (or direct the same to be delivered, as applicable), and Borrower hereby directs Lender to so deliver or cause to be delivered such funds, within ten (10) days after the Debt has been paid in full, to Junior Lender to be held and/or applied in accordance with the terms of the Junior Loan Documents.

117 and/or component comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. (b) If requested by Lender in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall assist Lender (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the NRSROs in connection with such Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation, to: (i) provide (A) updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Sponsor, any SPE Component Entity and Manager including, without limitation, the information set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto, (B) updated budgets relating to the Property, (C) updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies and (D) revisions to and other agreements with respect to the Property Documents in form and substance acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (ii) provide new and/or updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender, the NRSROs and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as may be customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies, which counsel and opinions shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (iii) provide updated (as of the closing date of the applicable Secondary Market Transaction) representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may require; (iv) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents, the Property Documents and Borrower’s or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) to amend and/or supplement the independent director provisions provided on Exhibit C attached hereto, in each case, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Rating Agencies, (B) bifurcating the Loan into two or more components and/or additional separate notes and/or creating additional senior/subordinate note structure(s) (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”) and (C) to modify all operative dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would change the interest rate, the stated maturity (except as provided in subclause (C)


 
118 above) or the amortization of principal set forth herein, or otherwise increase (to more than a de minimis extent) the obligations or decrease (to more than a de minimis extent) the rights of Borrower in each case from those contemplated under the Loan Documents, except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying interest rates and, as applicable, amortization schedules, but which shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note; and (v) review any Disclosure Document or any interim draft thereof furnished by Lender to Borrower with respect to information contained therein that was furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower specifically in connection with the preparation of such Disclosure Document and provide to Lender any revisions to such Disclosure Document or interim draft thereof necessary to insure that such reviewed information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. (c) If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request the following information: (i) if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, net operating income for the Property and the Related Properties for the most recent Fiscal Year and interim period as required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB (or, if the Loan is not treated as a non-recourse loan under Instruction 3 for Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB, selected financial data meeting the requirements and covering the time periods specified in Item 301 of Regulation S-K and Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB), or (ii) if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB (which includes, but may not be limited to, a balance sheet with respect to the entity that Lender determines to be a Significant Obligor for the two most recent Fiscal Years and

(d) If Lender determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, are a Significant Obligor, then Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on an ongoing basis, selected financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements. (e) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor. (f) The financial data and statements provided by Borrower under this Section 9.1 shall be furnished to Lender (A) with respect to information requested in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for a Securitization, within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender, and (B) with respect to ongoing information required under Section 9.1(d) and (e) above, not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (B) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower. (g) All financial data and statements provided by Borrower under Sections 9.1(c), (d), (e) and (f) shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements. All financial statements referred to in such Sections shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in


 
120 any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided. All financial data and statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (g). (h) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender. (i) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance. Section 9.2 Disclosure and Indemnification. (a) Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party) understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, any other Borrower Party and/or their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be (i) included in (A) the Disclosure Documents and (B) filings under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act and (ii) made available to Investors, the NRSROs, investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers, in each case, in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. Borrower also understands that the findings and conclusions of any third-party due diligence report obtained by the Lender, the Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder. (b) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject in connection with (x) any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of


 
121 the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (y) after a Securitization, any indemnity obligations incurred by Lender or Servicer in connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation. (c) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, Manager, Sponsor, Guarantor and all other aspects of the Loan, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property. The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. (d) In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities. (e) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify


 
122 the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party). In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.2, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. (f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt. Failure by Borrower and/or any Borrower Party to comply with the provisions of Section 9.1 and/or Section 9.2 within the timeframes specified therein and/or as otherwise required by Lender shall, at Lender’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default. Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Borrower Party) hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in- fact to take any actions required of any Borrower Party under Sections 9.1, 9.2 and/or 9.5 in the event any Borrower Party fails to do the same, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) except as otherwise expressly provided to the contrary in this Article 9, each Borrower Party shall bear its own cost of compliance with this Article (including, without limitation, the costs of any ongoing financial reporting or similar provisions contained herein) and (ii) to the extent that the timeframes for compliance with such ongoing financial reporting and similar provisions are shorter than the timeframes allowed for comparable reporting obligations under Section 4.12 hereof (if any), the timeframes under this Article 9 shall control. Section 9.3 Reserves/Escrows. In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Lender in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in “eligible accounts” at “eligible institutions” and, to the extent applicable, invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies. Section 9.4 Servicer.


 
123 (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and/or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer and trustee, together with its agents, designees or nominees, collectively, “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under the Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a pooling and servicing agreement, servicing agreement, special servicing agreement and/or other agreement providing for the servicing of one or more mortgage loans (collectively, the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall pay a scheduled monthly servicing fee of $1,400.00 per month, as well as (i) any fees and expenses of Servicer (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) in connection with any release of the Property or a portion thereof, any prepayment, defeasance, transfer, assumption, amendment or modification of the Loan, any documents or other matters requested by Borrower or any Guarantor, any special servicing or workout of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any advances made by Servicer and interest on such advances, any liquidation fees in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement and (ii) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Property (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) that a Servicer may be required to obtain (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement); provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of any fees or expenses required to be borne by, and not reimbursable to, Servicer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents. (b) Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor under the Loan Documents. (c) Provided Borrower shall have received notice from Lender of Servicer's address, Borrower shall deliver, and cause to be delivered, to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other documents and instruments which Borrower and/or any Guarantor deliver to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. No delivery of any such notices or other documents shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided in this Section 9.4(c). (d) The parties acknowledge that an affiliate of the initially-named Lender may, in such affiliate’s sole and absolute discretion, charge a transaction advisory fee of up to twenty-five (25) basis points on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (to be paid directly to such affiliate by Servicer) unless such affiliate elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to waive such fee; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, (i) in no event shall any such fee be deemed to be owed by Borrower, or in any way increase any obligations of Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and (ii) in no event shall any waiver of such fee be deemed to benefit Borrower, or in any way decrease or modify any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.


 
124 Section 9.5 Mezzanine Option. Lender shall have the option (the “Mezzanine Option”) at any time to divide the Loan into two parts, a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for such mortgage loan and such mezzanine loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of such mortgage loan and mezzanine loan shall initially equal the Interest Rate. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating one or more entities satisfying applicable Rating Agency criteria for single-purpose entities (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to the Property Documents and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies; and (iv) delivering Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements and the related Collateral Assignments of Interest Rate Cap Agreement for the Loan and the mezzanine loan. Section 9.6 REMIC Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the real property relating to the Property, the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining real property relating to the Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and it being agreed and acknowledged that such loan-to- value determination shall be based on the value of only real property and shall exclude any personal property or going-concern value, if any), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by Borrower by an amount sufficient to satisfy REMIC Requirements, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel acceptable to Lender that the Loan will not fail to maintain its status as a “qualified mortgage” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3)(A) of the IRS Code as a result of the related release of lien. Section 9.7 Syndication; Registered Form. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option and without the consent of Borrower, sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in and to the Loan (the “Syndication”) to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”). In connection therewith, Borrower will take all actions as Lender and any such Co-Lender may request to assist Lender and /or such Co-Lender in consummating any such Syndication including, without limitation: (i) facilitating the review of the Loan and the Property by any prospective Co-Lender; (ii) assisting and cooperating with Lender in the preparation of information offering materials in connection with any such Syndication (which assistance may include reviewing and


 
125 commenting on drafts of such materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) delivering updated financial information, operating statements and other information with respect to Borrower and the Property (including, without limitation, appraisals); (iv) making representatives of Borrower available at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to meet with prospective Co-Lenders (for tours of the Property or otherwise); (v) facilitating direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective Co-Lender; (vi) providing Lender with all information reasonably deemed necessary by Lender to complete any such Syndication; and (vii) executing such modifications to the Loan Documents as may be required by Lender or any Co- Lender in connection with any such Syndication (provided that such modifications will not, change in the aggregate any economic terms or other material terms of the Loan Documents, or otherwise materially increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower from those contemplated in the Loan Documents). The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint, and neither Lender nor any Co- Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender. Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan. Borrower acknowledges and agrees, with respect to any co-lending agreement (or similar agreement) among the Co-Lenders, that (A) any such agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Co-Lenders, and that Borrower shall not be a third-party beneficiary (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, shall not have any rights thereunder, and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein, (B) Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents are and will be independent of any such agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof, (C) any such agreement may contain provisions which require that amendments, waivers, extensions, modifications, and other decisions with respect to the Loan Documents shall require the approval of all or a number of the Co-Lenders holding in the aggregate a specified percentage of the Loan or any one or more Co-Lenders that are specifically affected by such amendment, waiver, extension, modification or other decision, and (D) the Co-Lenders shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of any such agreement. All costs incurred in connection with any Syndication shall be paid by Borrower. (b) At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any other lender or Co-Lender, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) under the Loan Documents owing to Lender and each other lender or Co-Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents from time to time, in a manner that shall cause the Loan to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the IRS Code. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender and other lenders and Co-Lenders shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Lender and any other lender of Co-Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of

(a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower or any SPE Component Entity) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity. Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower or any SPE Component Entity, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding. (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by applicable law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security


 
132 Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered. (d) With respect to Borrower and the Individual Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Individual Properties or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. (e) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents, any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not increase the Borrower’s liabilities under the Loan Documents by more than a de minimis extent. (f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan and/or paid to or received by Lender may, after an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.


 
133 (g) Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore. ARTICLE 11 INDEMNIFICATIONS Section 11.1 General Indemnification. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more of the following: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (b) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (d) any failure of the Property to be in compliance with any applicable Legal Requirements; (e) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease, management agreement or any Property Document; (f) the payment of any commission, charge or brokerage fee to anyone (other than a broker or other agent retained by Lender) which may be payable in connection with the funding of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument; and/or (g) the holding or investing of the funds on deposit in the Accounts or the performance of any work or the disbursement of funds in each case in connection with the Accounts.

Section 11.2 Mortgage and Intangible Tax Indemnification. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any

Section 11.4 Duty to Defend, Legal Fees and Other Fees and Expenses. Upon written request by any Indemnified Party, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Party (if requested by any Indemnified Party, in the name of the Indemnified Party) by attorneys and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their sole discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Parties, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding. Upon demand, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith. Section 11.5 Survival. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Article 11 shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Security Instrument. Section 11.6 CFIUS Indemnification. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses) that any Indemnified Party may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of (a) any Subject Transaction being a Covered Transaction, or otherwise arising under the DPA, and/or (b) a default under Sections 3.10(j) and/or 4.14(b) hereof.

135 director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, partner, member, trustee, agent, or Affiliate of Borrower or any legal representatives, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Exculpated Parties”), except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or any of the Exculpated Parties in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

Section 13.2 Recording of Security Instrument, etc. Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of the Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the Security Instrument and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property. Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Security Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by applicable law so to do.

Borrower, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver, hereby authorizes Lender to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Lender may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements to evidence more effectively the security interest of Lender in the Property. Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender at law and in equity, including without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 13.3. Section 13.4 Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws. (a) If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable. (b) Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument or the Debt. If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by applicable law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than ninety (90) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable, without payment of any prepayment penalty, Minimum Interest Payment or Exit Fee. (c) If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same, Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.


 
140 ARTICLE 14 WAIVERS Section 14.1 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Section 14.2 Modification, Waiver in Writing. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Section 14.3 Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Section 14.4 Waiver of Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE SECURITY


 
141 INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER OR BORROWER. Section 14.5 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except (a) with respect to matters for which this Agreement specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and (b) with respect to matters for which Lender is required by applicable law to give notice, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. Section 14.6 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by applicable law or under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Section 14.7 Marshalling and Other Matters. Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Security Instrument of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein. Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of the Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements. Section 14.8 Waiver of Statute of Limitations. To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower hereby expressly waives and releases to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the pleading of any statute of limitations as a defense to payment of the Debt or performance of its obligations hereunder, under the Note, Security Instrument or other Loan Documents. Section 14.9 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents. Section 14.10 Sole Discretion of Lender. Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (a) Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, or (c) any other decision or determination is to be made by Lender, the decision to approve or disapprove all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, and all other decisions and determinations made by Lender, shall


 
142 be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein. Except to the extent expressly provided otherwise herein or in any other Loan Document, any calculation or computation made by Lender under the Loan Documents shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error. ARTICLE 15 MISCELLANEOUS Section 15.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender. Section 15.2 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to the Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or any Guarantor; (ii) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the liens in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; (iii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Lender, Borrower, the Loan Documents, the Property or any other security given for the Loan; (iv) enforcing any Obligations of, or collecting any payments due from, Borrower or any Guarantor under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Property; (v) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work out” or of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors Rights Laws; (vi) protecting Lender’s interest in the Property or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) Lender’s participation (including, without limitation, responding to any service of process, subpoena, or other request) in any litigation or other proceeding involving or related to any Borrower Party, the Loan or the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s response to any other service of process, subpoena, or other request from any Governmental Authority involving or related to any Borrower Party, the Loan or the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, in each case, any legal fees incurred in connection therewith);


 
143 provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s election in its sole discretion, from any amounts in the Cash Management Account. (b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto, or any settlement in furtherance of any of the foregoing), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any default or breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, the Loan Documents; (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan; (iii) any materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by Borrower; (iv) ownership of the Security Instrument, the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof, or any liability asserted against such Indemnified Party with respect thereto; and (vi) the claims of any lessee of any portion of the Property or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties, as determined by a final non appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties. The provisions of Section 15.2(a) and this Section 15.2(b) shall (A) survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Security Instrument and (B) apply equally in favor of the then-current Lender hereunder and any prior Lender hereunder (regardless of whether any such prior Lender has retained any obligations hereunder following the applicable assignment of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents). (c) Borrower hereby agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees imposed, and costs and expenses incurred, by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and Lender shall be entitled to require


 
144 payment of such fees, costs and expenses as a condition precedent to obtaining any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation. Section 15.3 Brokers.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt. Borrower hereby represents and warrants that the only Broker engaged by any Borrower Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is Raymond James. Lender hereby agrees to pay any and all fees imposed or charged by any Broker hired solely by Lender. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) any Broker is not an agent of Lender and has no power or authority to bind Lender, (b) Lender is not responsible for any recommendations or advice given to any Borrower Party by any Broker, (c) Lender and the Borrower Parties have dealt at arms-length with each other in connection with the Loan, (d) no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall be deemed or construed to exist among Lender and the Borrower Parties and (e) none of the Borrower Parties shall be entitled to rely on any assurances or waivers given, or statements made or actions taken, by any Broker which purport to bind Lender or modify or otherwise affect this Agreement or the Loan, unless Lender has, in its sole discretion, agreed in writing with any such Borrower Party to such assurances, waivers, statements, actions or modifications. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may, in its sole discretion, pay fees or compensation to any Broker in connection with or arising out of the closing and funding of the Loan. Such fees and compensation, if any, (i) shall be in addition to any fees which may be paid by any Borrower Party to such Broker and (ii) create a potential conflict of interest for Broker in its relationship with the Borrower Parties. Such fees and compensation, if applicable, may include a direct, one-time payment, servicing fees and/or incentive payments based on volume and size of financings involving Lender and such Broker.

147 Section 15.10 Exhibits Incorporated. The Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof. Section 15.11 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Section 15.12 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. (b) This Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so. (c) The general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners of Borrower are experienced in the ownership and operation of properties similar to the Property, and Borrower and Lender are relying solely upon such expertise and business plan in connection with the ownership and operation of the Property. Borrower is not relying on Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property. Furthermore, each Borrower Party has obtained advice of counsel, accountants, and other professionals sufficient, in the judgment of such Borrower Party, to approve the Loan, the Loan Documents, and any transaction related to the closing of the Loan (including, without limitation, allocations of funds and the organizational structure of Borrower as each of the same relate to tax matters affecting such Borrower Party and the constituent direct and indirect owners of Borrower), and no


 
148 Borrower Party is relying on Lender or any counsel or other professionals engaged by Lender with respect thereto. (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations related to the Property (including, without limitation, under the Leases); or (ii) any obligations with respect to any agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents to which any Borrower Party and/or the Property is subject. (e) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender. (f) Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement. Section 15.13 Disclosure. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein or otherwise expressly approved by Lender in writing (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Borrower Party, or any of their respective Affiliates and/or agents to: (i) provide a copy of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any portion of any of the foregoing, to any Unaffiliated Third Party; (ii) disclose any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to any Unaffiliated Third Party; or (iii) disclose any of the prospective parts of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which were discussed in negotiations prior to the execution of this Agreement or such other Loan Documents to any Unaffiliated Third Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) Borrower may, and may permit any Borrower Party, or one of their respective Affiliates or agents, to make the following disclosures: (A) disclosures mandated by legislative, judicial and/or administrative order, rule or regulation; and (B) disclosures to current or, in Borrower’s reasonable and good faith opinion, prospective members, partners, shareholders, lenders and/or investors of Borrower or any Affiliates of Borrower, any provider of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or any tax preparers, tax advisors, independent public accountants,


 
149 attorneys and insurers, past, present and prospective, provided that (x) with respect to any provider of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or such tax preparers, tax advisors, independent public accountants, attorneys and insurers only, such parties are engaged to work on behalf of the Person making such disclosure and (y) such parties agree to keep all such information in strict confidence (except as required by this Agreement, law, regulation, or the standards of the accounting or auditing profession), and (2) no disclosure resulting solely by virtue of the filing or recording in the relevant official records office, as applicable, of the Security Instrument, the Assignment of Leases, the UCC financing statements or any other Loan Documents that are recorded or filed with Lender’s approval, shall be deemed a violation of this Section 15.13. Borrower agrees and acknowledges that a breach of this Section 15.13 by any Borrower Party, or any of their Affiliates or agents, may cause irreparable damage to Lender. Therefore, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Lender in accordance with applicable law, Lender shall be entitled to equitable and injunctive relief to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of the confidential information in violation of this Section 15.13. (b) All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower Party or any of their Affiliates and/or agents through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld. (c) Borrower agrees, on its behalf and on behalf of each Borrower Party and their respective Affiliates, that none of the foregoing shall publish, participate in the publication of, or direct others to make or publish, any statements, accounts or stories disparaging or denigrating the conduct or character of any Lender Party. The foregoing includes, but is not limited to, a prohibition on posting or otherwise disclosing defamatory or disparaging statements about any Lender Party on the internet or in any other paper or electronic media outlet, including but not limited to news organizations, blogs, websites, newspapers, external email or social media websites. (d) The obligations and liabilities of each Borrower Party, their Affiliates, and agents under this Section 15.13 shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Security Instrument. Section 15.14 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by Borrower, or any other Person against Lender or its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of such Persons for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.


 
150 Section 15.15 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse-to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. Section 15.16 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Section 15.17 Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint and several. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever. Section 15.18 Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder. Section 15.19 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided, however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made


 
151 by Lender; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set- off and application. Section 15.20 Contribution. (a) As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay the Debt and perform the Obligations and in consideration therefore each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any individual Borrower hereunder to Lender (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Lender against any Property of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such Property in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Lender under the Loan Documents).Each Borrower shall be liable hereunder with respect to the Obligations only for such total maximum amount (if any) that would not render its Obligations hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of applicable Legal Requirements. (c) In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by an individual Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement Contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers for all payments, damages and expenses incurred by that Funding Borrower in discharging any of the Obligations, in the manner and to the extent set forth in this Section. (d) For purposes hereof, the “Benefit Amount” of any individual Borrower as of any date of determination shall be the net value of the benefits to such Borrower and its Affiliates from extensions of credit made by Lender to (i) such Borrower and (ii) to the other Borrowers hereunder and the Loan Documents to the extent such other Borrowers have guaranteed or mortgaged their property to secure the Obligations of such Borrower to Lender. (e) Each Borrower shall be liable to a Funding Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (i) the (A) ratio of the Benefit Amount of such Borrower to the total amount of Obligations, multiplied by (B) the amount of Obligations paid by such Funding Borrower, or (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Borrower over the total liabilities of such Borrower (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities) determined as of the date on which the payment made by a Funding Borrower is deemed made for purposes hereof (giving effect to all payments made by other Funding Borrowers as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such Contributions). (f) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “Applicable Contribution”), then Reimbursement Contributions from other Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be allocated among such Funding Borrowers in proportion to the total amount of the Contribution made for or on


 
152 account of the other Borrowers by each such Funding Borrower pursuant to the Applicable Contribution. In the event that at any time any Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this Section above, that Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this Section. (g) Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing. (h) No Reimbursement Contribution payments payable by a Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Section shall be paid until all amounts then due and payable by all of Borrowers to Lender, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, are paid in full in cash. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents. (i) Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the Guaranty for the benefit of Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)). (j) To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Borrower waives: (i) any right to require Lender to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s power before proceeding against Borrower; (ii) any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents; (iii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower; (iv) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal; (v) any defense based upon any failure by Lender to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Lender to perfect a lien on any collateral;


 
153 (vi) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind; (vii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral; (viii) any defense based upon any failure of Lender to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lender to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral; (ix) any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code; (x) any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Lender with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding; (xi) any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Lender for any reason; (xiii) any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents; (xiv) any defense or benefit based upon Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Security Instrument to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party; (xv) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lender even though the election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Loan or any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents, has destroyed Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower; and (xvi) all rights and defenses that Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (1) Lender may collect from Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, and (2) if Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (II) Lender may collect from Borrower even if any other Borrower, by


 
154 foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other Person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law. ARTICLE 16 CROSS-DEFAULT; CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION Section 16.1 Cross-Default and Cross-Collateralization of Property. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Property and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Individual Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately. Borrower agrees that each of the Loan Documents are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (ii) an Event of Default hereunder shall constitute an Event of Default under the Security Instruments; (iii) the Security Instruments shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Individual Properties as security for the Note; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Borrower waives any claims related thereto. Section 16.2 Marshalling and Other Matters. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Security Instruments, or any one of them, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property, or any one of them, for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property, or any one of them, in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Security Instruments, or any one of them, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Individual Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or


 
155 any combination of the Individual Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Individual Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consent to and authorize, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Individual Properties. Section 16.3 Uncross of Individual Properties. (a) Borrower agrees that at any time Lender shall have the unilateral right to elect to, from time to time, uncross any of the Individual Properties (such uncrossed Individual Property or Individual Properties, collectively, the “Affected Property” and the remaining Individual Property or Individual Properties, collectively, the “Unaffected Property”) in order to separate the Loan from the portion of the Debt to be secured by the Affected Property (such portion of the Debt to be secured by the Affected Property, the “Uncrossed Loan” and the remaining portion of the Debt secured by the Unaffected Property, the “Remaining Loan”). In furtherance thereof, Lender shall have the right to (i) sever and/or divide the Note and the other Loan Documents so that (A) the original Loan Documents (collectively, the “Remaining Loan Documents”) evidence and secure only the Remaining Loan and relate only to the Unaffected Property and (B) amended and/or new documents and other instruments (collectively, the “Uncrossed Loan Documents”) evidence and secure only the Uncrossed Loan and relate only to the Affected Property, (ii) allocate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to the Affected Property to the Uncrossed Loan, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property (but such Affected Property shall be cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized with each other Affected Property) and (iv) take such additional actions consistent therewith (including, without limitation, requiring delivery of the Uncrossed Loan Documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, in each case, to give effect to the foregoing); provided, that the Uncrossed Loan Documents and the Remaining Loan Documents, shall not, in the aggregate, increase (A) any material monetary obligation of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or (B) any other material obligation of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents in any material respect, or decrease any of the rights of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents. In connection with the uncrossing of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section 17.3 (an “Uncrossing Event”), the Remaining Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of the Uncrossed Loan and the Uncrossed Loan shall be in an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount applicable to the Affected Property. (b) Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Lender to effectuate each Uncrossing Event. Without limitation of the foregoing, upon receipt of Lender’s written request, Borrower shall, among other things, (i) convey the Affected Property and/or Unaffected Property to a newly formed single purpose entity which satisfies the requirements set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto, (ii) deliver to Lender such legal opinions and updated legal opinions as Lender or the Rating Agencies shall reasonably require; (iii) take the actions contemplated in subsection (a) above (including, without limitation, executing the Uncrossed Loan Documents and amendments to the Loan Documents); and (iv) deliver such title endorsements, title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to the operating agreements and other materials as may be


 
156 required by Lender or the Rating Agencies. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Lender shall be responsible for the costs and expenses of any such Uncrossing Event (except that Borrower shall pay its own legal fees and other expenses). ARTICLE 17 JUNIOR LOAN. Section 17.1 Junior Loan Notice. (a) Promptly after receipt (but no more than five (5) Business Days after receipt), Borrower will deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all material notices (including, without limitation, any notice of a Junior Loan Event of Default or any other default under the Junior Loan Documents), demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from Junior Lender by Borrower or any guarantor under the Junior Loan Documents. (b) Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.12 hereof, Borrower will deliver to Lender all of the financial statements and material reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Borrower to Junior Lender under the Junior Loan Documents as and when due under the Junior Loan Documents. Section 17.2 Junior Loan Estoppels. After written request by Lender made no more than one time in any calendar year, Borrower shall from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Junior Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Junior Loan and compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Junior Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Junior Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as such Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Junior Loan and the compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Junior Loan Documents. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all Losses which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Junior Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from, such estoppel executed by Borrower. Section 17.3 Junior Loan Co-Lender Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Junior Loan Co-Lender Agreement is solely for the benefit of Lender and Junior Lender, and that Borrower shall not be third-party beneficiary (intended or otherwise) of any of the provisions therein, have any rights thereunder, or be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Junior Lender have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Junior Loan Co-Lender Agreement. Borrower’s obligations under


 
157 the Loan Documents are and will be independent of the Junior Loan Co-Lender Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. Section 17.4 Notices from Junior Lender. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that Lender may conclusively rely on any notice delivered by Junior Lender without any inquiry into the validity thereof, including, without limitation, a notice from Junior Lender that a Junior Loan Event of Default has occurred or is continuing. Section 17.5 Junior Loan Separate. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Junior Loan is a separate and distinct financing from the Loan, and is made separately by Junior Lender to Borrower, as the obligor thereunder. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no exercise of any rights or remedies by Junior Lender under the Junior Loan shall give rise to any defense of Borrower to the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan pursuant to the Loan Documents.
