THE LOAN

 

Section 2.1          The Loan.

 

2.1.1      Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.

 

2.1.2      Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

 

2.1.3      The Notes. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Notes executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in evidence of the Loan and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.1.4      Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to: (i) to refinance any existing mortgage and mezzanine indebtedness secured directly or indirectly by the Property, (ii) to make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds as required by Lender, (iii) to pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan and the Current Mezzanine Loan, and (iv) for such other purposes as provided in the sources and uses delivered at Closing as approved by Lender.

 

Section 2.2          Interest Rate.

 

2.2.1      Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.

 

2.2.2      Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such Event of Default shall have occurred and for so long as such Event of Default shall be continuing. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

 

 30 

 

 

2.2.3      Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (B) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (C) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date. Other than the initial payment of interest set forth in Section 2.3.1, interest shall be paid in arrears.

 

2.2.4      Usury Savings. 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 Outstanding Principal Balance 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 Outstanding Principal Balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate 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.

 

Section 2.3          Loan Payments.

 

2.3.1      Payments. On March 6, 2013, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance from the Closing Date through and including March 5, 2013 (the “Initial Interest Period”), allocated to the A-1 Note and A-2 Note pari passu and pro rata in accordance with the A-1 Interest Rate and the A-2 Interest Rate and their respective outstanding principal balances, respectively. On April 5, 2013 and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter through and including the Monthly Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Commencement Date, Borrower shall make a payment of interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance accrued at the Interest Rate during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Monthly Payment Date (the “Monthly Interest Payment Amount”), allocated to the A-1 Note and A-2 Note pari passu and pro rata in accordance with the A-1 Interest Rate and the A-2 Interest Rate and their respective outstanding principal balances, respectively. On the Amortization Commencement Date and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Term, Borrower shall make a payment of principal and interest equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to the Outstanding Principal Balance. Borrower shall also pay to Lender all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.

Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that 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 accordingly.

 33 

 

 

(B)          a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, creating a first priority security interest in favor of Lender in the Defeasance Collateral (the “Defeasance Security Agreement”), which shall provide, among other things, that any payments generated by the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid directly to Lender and applied by Lender in satisfaction of all amounts then due and payable hereunder and any excess received by Lender from the Defeasance Collateral over the amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be refunded to Borrower;

(I)          if a Mezzanine Loan is outstanding at the time of such defeasance, the proposed defeasance shall not constitute or cause a default under such Mezzanine Loan or such Mezzanine Loan shall be repaid or defeased in full concurrently with such defeasance.

 

 34 

 

 

(b)          Revocation of Release Notice. Borrower may revoke the Release Notice or extend the noticed Release Date at any time up to the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the noticed Release Date (the “Revocation/Extension Deadline Date”) by delivery of written notice of such revocation or extension to Lender on or before such Revocation/Extension Deadline Date (a “Revocation/Extension Notice”); provided that Borrower shall reimburse Lender upon demand for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the previously noticed Defeasance Release, including, but not limited to reasonable attorney fees and disbursements;

 

(c)          Successor Borrower. Upon the defeasance of the Loan under this Section 2.4.2, Borrower may, or at the option of Lender shall, assign all of its Obligations, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity designated by Lender in its sole discretion or, at the option of Lender, designated by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender (in each case, the “Successor Borrower”). Lender shall have the right to establish or designate the Successor Borrower and to purchase, or cause to be purchased, the Defeasance Collateral, which rights may be exercised in Lender’s sole discretion and shall be retained by the Lender named herein notwithstanding the transfer or Securitization of the Loan. Such successor entity shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to which it shall assume Borrower’s Obligations and the Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Borrower shall (i) deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion stating, among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrower and such successor entity in accordance with its terms and that the Notes, the Defeasance Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as so assumed, are enforceable against such successor entity in accordance with their respective terms, and (ii) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assumption agreement and related documentation). Additionally, Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Successor Borrower, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith. In connection with a transfer of the Defeasance Collateral to the Successor Borrower, Borrower shall, as a condition to such defeasance, deliver or cause to be delivered a non-consolidation opinion in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies. Upon such assumption, Borrower and Guarantors shall be relieved of their respective Obligations hereunder, under the other Loan Documents and under the Defeasance Security Agreement other than those Obligations which are specifically intended to survive the termination, satisfaction or assignment of this Agreement or the exercise of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder.

 

(d)          Other Terms. Upon the defeasance of the Loan in accordance with clauses (a) and (c) of this Section 2.4.2, Borrower shall have no further right to prepay the Notes pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.4.2 or otherwise. Borrower shall pay any and all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Notes or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this Section 2.4.2.

 

 35 

 

 

2.4.3      Open Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and provided that Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Prepayment Notice, Borrower may prepay the entire principal balance of the Notes and any other amounts outstanding under the Notes, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, without payment of the Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee, on any Business Day on or after the Open Prepayment Date. If such prepayment is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of the Notes to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date notwithstanding that such Monthly Payment Date extends beyond the Repayment Date.

 

2.4.4      Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)          If Lender is not obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to this Agreement, on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which (a) Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, and (b) Lender has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the Debt, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Net Proceeds shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to all amounts (other than principal and interest) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any reasonable costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such prepayment); Second; accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, to principal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Prepayment Fee or other prepayment premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.4(a). Any partial principal prepayment under this Section 2.4.4(a) shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Lender has elected to prepay the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.4(a) and the Net Proceeds to be applied to reduce the Debt are in excess of Four Hundred Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($405,000,000.00) but are not sufficient to pay the Obligations in full, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may prepay the entire principal balance of the Notes and any other amounts outstanding under the Notes, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, without payment of the Prepayment Fee, Liquidated Damages Amount or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee on any Business Day. As a condition of such right, Borrower must deliver to Lender a Prepayment Notice (which must state a prepayment date that is no later than thirty (30) days after the date of such Prepayment Notice) prior to Lender’s application of Net Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.4.4(a) so long as Lender provides Borrower with at least three (3) Business Days notice prior to such application, and otherwise within three (3) Business Days of Lender’s application of Net Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.4.4(a). If such prepayment is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of the Notes to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date notwithstanding that such Monthly Payment Date extends beyond the Repayment Date.

 

 36 

 

 

2.4.5      Prepayments After Default.

 

(a)          If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds other than the Amenities Tax Funds or Amenities Insurance Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Debt, all of: (i) all accrued interest at the Interest Rate and, if such tender and acceptance is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, interest that would have accrued on the Debt to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date, (ii) an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee and (iii) in the event the payment occurs on or prior to the Defeasance Lockout Expiration Date, the Liquidated Damages Amount.

 

(b)          If during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any part of the Loan is repaid on or prior to the Defeasance Lockout Expiration Date but not in compliance with the defeasance conditions, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, and in addition to any and all other sums and fees payable under this agreement and the other Loan Documents, an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the principal amount being repaid (the “Liquidated Damages Amount”).

 

2.4.6      Prepayment/Repayment Conditions.

 

(a)          On the date on which a prepayment, voluntary or mandatory, is made under the Notes or as required under this Agreement, which date must be a Business Day, Borrower shall pay to Lender all unpaid interest on the portion of the Outstanding Principal Balance prepaid plus, if the Repayment Date is not a Monthly Payment Date, all interest accruing for the full Interest Period in which the Repayment Date falls notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the Repayment Date.

 

(b)          On any Repayment Date prior to the Open Prepayment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the Prepayment Fee, if required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and all other sums, then due under the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)          Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the repayment or prepayment (including without limitation, any reasonable costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage as set forth in Section 2.5 below and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

 

2.4.7      No Prepayment of Mezzanine Loan. Other than payments of the Monthly Current Mezzanine Debt Service Payment made pursuant to clause (x) of Section 6.11.1 and prepayment pursuant to and in accordance with Section 2.4.4(a) of the Current Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine Loan may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, and Borrower shall not cause, suffer or permit any such prepayment, unless the Debt has been paid in full.

 

 37 

 

 

Section 2.5          Release of Collateral.

 

2.5.1      Release Upon Defeasance. If Borrower has elected to defease the Notes and the requirements of Section 2.4.2 have been satisfied, the Property and the other security for the Loan shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement shall constitute the only collateral which shall secure the Notes and all other Obligations. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Release Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release or assignment, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees. Borrower, pursuant to the Defeasance Security Agreement, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from Defeasance Collateral be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the Obligations, including payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Open Prepayment Date.

 

2.5.2      Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, release the Lien of the Mortgage and the related Loan Documents. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the Repayment Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release or assignment, as applicable, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

2.5.3      Assignment in lieu of Release. Notwithstanding Section 2.5.1 and 2.5.2, if Borrower advises Lender that it desires to effectuate a repayment or prepayment in a manner which will permit the assignment of the Notes and the Mortgage to a new lender providing the repayment or prepayment funds, then Lender shall (i) assign the Mortgage and all of the other Loan Documents to any Person designated by Borrower, which assignment documents shall be in recordable form (but without representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Lender, except as to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and that Lender owns the Notes and Mortgage free of any liens and encumbrances and has the authority to effect the assignment), (ii) deliver to or as directed by Borrower the originally executed Notes and all originally executed other notes which may have been consolidated, amended and/or restated in connection with the execution of the Notes or, with respect to any note where the original has been lost, destroyed or mutilated, a lost note affidavit for the benefit of the assignee lender and the title insurance company insuring the Mortgage, as assigned, in form sufficient to permit such title insurance company to insure the lien of the Mortgage as assigned to and held by the assignee without exception for any matter relating to the lost, destroyed or mutilated note, (iii) execute and deliver an allonge with respect to the Notes and any other note(s) as described in the preceding clause (ii) above without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied (except as to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and that Lender owns the Notes and Security Instrument free of any liens and encumbrances and has the authority to execute and deliver the allonge), (iv) deliver the original executed Mortgage or a certified copy of record, and (v) execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, termination, severance and release (including appropriate UCC-3 termination statements) in recordable form as may reasonably be requested by Borrower to evidence such assignment.

The fair saleable value of each Borrower’s assets is, and immediately following the making of the Loan, will be, greater than such Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.

Neither Borrower intends to, or believes that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by such Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of such Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any named Person on Schedule III (excluding any “Investors”), and neither Borrower nor any such Person has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.

Section 4.2          Due on Sale and Encumbrance; Transfers of Interests. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its stockholders, general partners and members, as applicable, and principals of Borrower in owning and operating properties such as the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property and indirect ownership of the Pledged Mortgages and indirect ownership of the general partnership interest in the Amenities Owner as a means of maintaining the value of the Property and the Membership Interests as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations.

(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 the Worldwide Plaza Amenities coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above-mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; 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 subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities , and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(b)          All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to form and substance, including insurance companies, amounts, 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 evidencing the Policies (and, upon the written request of Lender, copies of such Policies) accompanied by evidence reasonably 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 otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”); provided, that to the extent that insurance is maintained pursuant to a blanket policy, if such blanket policy covers any other property within a one thousand (1,000) foot radius of the Property (the “Radius”), the limits of any such policy shall be adequate to maintain the coverage set forth in Section 5.1.1(a) for each property within the Radius that is covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis, to the extent such coverage is commercially available.

Additionally, if Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

 

 73 

 

 

(e)          All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (a)(viii), shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i)          no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

 

(ii)         the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by applicable Legal Requirement (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice;

 

(iii)        Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder; and

 

(iv)        the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration; and

 

(f)          If at any time Borrower has not provided written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

(g)          In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(h)          The property insurance, public liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (or at least not specifically exclude same) and Borrower shall maintain property insurance, public liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts) consistent with those required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), and (iii) above (or at least not specifically excluding same) at all times during the term of the Loan.

 

 74 

 

 

(i)          Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a)(i) or (h) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a)(i) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as standalone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under subsection (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under this clause (i) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage.

 

5.1.2      Insurance Company. All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1: (i) shall be issued by companies permitted to do business in the state where the Property is located, with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by all other Rating Agencies) (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or less insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by all other Rating Agencies), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by all other Rating Agencies) or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by all other Rating Agencies), with no carrier below “BBB” (and the equivalent by all other Rating Agencies), and a rating of A:X or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; (ii) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the Lender and Mortgagee; (iii) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to whom all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) shall, with respect to all liability policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as an additional insured; (v) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (vi) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing (A) that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation, and (C) for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (vii) shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be reasonably approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. No insurance policy required hereunder shall include any so called “terrorist exclusion” or similar exclusion or exception to insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals; provided that, for so long TRIPRA is in effect, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA. In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1 above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests provided that Lender is then requiring similar coverage for mortgage loans held by Lender covering property comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but taking into account any unique features of the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities. Certified copies of the Policies shall be delivered to Lender at the address below (or to such other address or Person as Lender shall designate from time to time by notice to Borrower) 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:

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 6.4 hereof). 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 in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices provided that Lender is then requiring similar coverage for mortgage loans held by Lender covering property comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but taking into account any unique features of the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities.

Section 5.2           Casualty. If the Property or the Worldwide Plaza Amenities shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), the restoration of which is estimated by Borrower in good faith to cost in excess of $3,000,000.00, Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, but subject to Lender making available to Borrower any insurance proceeds that are available if Lender is required to do so pursuant to this Agreement, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property and the Worldwide Plaza Amenities in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as immediately prior to such damage or destruction. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (i) if an Event of Default is continuing or (ii) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $12,250,000.00, and shall approve any final settlement, if the costs of completing the Restoration related thereto are equal to or greater than $12,250,000.00, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless an Event of Default in continuing, and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Except as set forth in the foregoing sentence, any Insurance Proceeds in connection with any Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim (provided Lender has a right to so settle and adjust the claim pursuant to this Agreement) or Borrower settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held and disbursed by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, Borrower shall promptly endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty with respect to which Lender has the right to settle and adjust pursuant to this Section 5.2.

 

Section 5.3           Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments 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. 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 Notes 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 reasonable out-of-pocket 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 Notes. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4, whether or not an Award is available to pay the costs of such Restoration. 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 Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

The Casualty 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 Section 5.4(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property or the Worldwide Plaza Amenities have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (A) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (B) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (C) Lender receives a search of title with respect to the Property or the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, as applicable, which shows no mechanics or other Liens since the date of the Mortgage that remain undischarged (other than Permitted Encumbrances). If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty 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.

(iv)        Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(v)         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, in the form of cash or a Letter of Credit, before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. If cash, the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. If Borrower shall request the Lender apply any Letter of Credit so deposited to the costs of Restoration, Lender may but shall not be obligated to do so; provided any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited in cash 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 shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

 

(vi)        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, and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.

 

(e)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 5.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s reasonable discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the lesser of the following amounts: (i) the net Award (after payment of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any other reasonable fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender) or the net Insurance Proceeds (after payment of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and any other reasonable fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender), as the case may be, or (ii) any other “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4. Any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 5.4(e) shall be made without any Prepayment Fee, Liquidated Damages Amount or other prepayment premium.

 

 82 

 

 

(f)           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 Section 5.4(d)(vi) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.4 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. Additionally, throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrower shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 5.4(f), an additional amount equal to the Prepayment Fee and, if same occurs on or prior to the Defeasance Lockout Expiration Date, the Liquidated Damages Amount; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Prepayment Fee or Liquidated Damages Amount shall be payable.

 

(g)          [Intentionally Omitted].

 

(h)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance company 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 company 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 have been received from the property insurance companies together with any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full.

As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Gross Revenue and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account and Accounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”). Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Gross Revenue to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Gross Revenue into the Deposit Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC financing statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account (other than the Amenities Tax Funds or Amenities Insurance Funds) in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All Accounts shall be interest-bearing accounts. Provided no Event of Default exists, all interest which accrues on the funds in any Account shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower (other than the Amenities Tax Funds or Amenities Insurance Funds). All interest which accrues on the Amenities Tax Funds and Amenities Insurance Funds shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower. All interest which accrues for the benefit of Borrower shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

Section 6.13        Low Debt Service Period Provisions. In the event a Low Debt Service Period exists and all Available Cash on a Monthly Payment Date would otherwise be allocated to the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to subsection (xi)(A) of Section 6.11.1 (a “Cash Trap Event”), and provided no Event of Default or Mezzanine Loan Default is continuing, Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of such allocation, to either deposit cash or a Letter of Credit in the amount of all funds Lender estimates would be deposited pursuant to subsection (xi)(A) of Section 6.11.1 during the succeeding eighteen (18) months assuming such Low Debt Service Period would continue to exist (the “Required Collateral Amount”). Borrower shall deliver such funds or Letter of Credit at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Monthly Payment Date on which such Cash Trap Event would occur. To the extent that the Low Debt Service Trigger continues for a period in excess of eighteen (18) months, and provided no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may post additional cash or Letters of Credit in the amount of all funds Lender estimates would be deposited pursuant to subsection (xi)(A) of Section 6.11.1 during the succeeding eighteen (18) months assuming such Low Debt Service Period would continue to exist (the “Additional Required Collateral Amount”). Lender shall have the right to revise the Required Collateral Amount and, if applicable, the Additional Required Collateral Amount, from time to time in its reasonable discretion based on updated estimates and Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of notice of such revision, post additional cash or Letters of Credit to reflect any increase in the Required Collateral Amount and Additional Required Collateral Amount, as applicable. Any Required Collateral Amount or Additional Required Collateral Amount (as increased) posted in cash shall be held in the Cash Collateral Account and shall be additional security for the payment of the Obligations. So long as Borrower has deposited the Required Collateral Amount and the Additional Required Collateral Amount (as such amounts may be increased) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.13, available funds will not be allocated pursuant to subsection (xi)(A) of Section 6.11.1, and the provisions of subsection (xi)(B) of Section 6.11.1 shall apply. Borrower may substitute a Letter of Credit for any cash deposited pursuant to this Section 6.13, and upon delivery of such Letter of Credit to Lender cash equal to the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be promptly returned to Borrower. On the repayment in full of the Loan, or the end of a Low Debt Service Period, Lender will release the Letter of Credit Collateral to Borrower (together with a written authorization from Lender to cancel any Letter of Credit).

Section 6.14        Letter of Credit Provisions.

 

6.14.1    All Letters of Credit delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Obligations. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the Obligations in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt during the continuance of an Event of Default shall be subject to the Prepayment Fee and/or Liquidated Damages Amount, if any, applicable thereto. On the Maturity Date, if the Debt has not otherwise been paid in full, any such Letter of Credit Collateral may be applied to reduce the Debt.

 

6.14.2    In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit delivered (and deposit such proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account): (a) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to its expiration date; (b) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (c) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution (unless an alternative Eligible Institution issues an equivalent Letter of Credit within fifteen (15) Business Days of Borrower’s receipt of notice of same). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in clauses (a), (b) or (c) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn upon the Letter of Credit. With respect to any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender in connection with this Loan, such Letter of Credit must be accompanied by an instrument reasonably acceptable to Lender whereby the applicant/obligor under such Letter of Credit shall have waived all rights of subrogation against Borrower thereunder until the Debt has been paid in full. Borrower shall also pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Neither Borrower nor the applicant/obligor under the Letter of Credit shall be entitled to draw upon the Letter of Credit.

 

6.14.3    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate amounts of (i) all Letters of Credit delivered pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document plus (ii) all partner loans outstanding among the direct and indirect equity holders in WWP Sponsor or Holdings (whether or not complying with the provisions of clause (ii) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness), may not exceed ten percent (10%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance unless Borrower delivers to Lender a new bankruptcy non-consolidation opinion, or a modification of the Insolvency Opinion, reasonably satisfactory to Lender to the effect that such Letters of Credit cannot reasonably be expected to impair, negate, adversely change or qualify the opinions rendered in the Insolvency Opinion.

 

6.14.4    Upon the repayment of the entire principal balance of the Notes and any other amounts outstanding under the Notes, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Lender will deliver to Borrower all outstanding Letters of Credit together with written authorization from Lender to cancel same.

6.15.1    Worldwide Plaza Amenities Taxes.

 

(a)          Borrower shall cause Manager to deposit with Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $393,741.13 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (initially, $145,528.52) with respect to the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account at the Deposit Bank (the “Amenities Tax Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Amenities Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.15.1 are referred to herein as the “Amenities Tax Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Amenities Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes with respect to the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination, accompanied by reasonable evidence thereof, and the monthly deposits for such Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for such Taxes; provided, that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit with or on behalf of Lender such amount within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lender shall not be permitted to use the Amenities Tax Funds other than to pay the Taxes with respect to the Worldwide Plaza Amenities.

 

(b)          Subject to Borrower’s right to contest same pursuant to Section 4.6, and regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Amenities Tax Funds in the Amenities Tax Account to payments of Taxes for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities. In making any payment relating to such Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to such Taxes) without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made from the Amenities Tax Funds. Any Amenities Tax Funds remaining in the Worldwide Plaza Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If Lender or its servicer pays for Taxes pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Section 6.15.1, then, Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide, or cause to be provided, receipts for the payment of such Taxes prior to the date the same shall become delinquent, but the failure of Lender to provide such receipts to Borrower shall result in no Lender liability or provide Borrower with a defense to, or extension of, the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.

6.15.2    Worldwide Plaza Amenities Insurance.

 

(a)          Borrower shall cause Manager to deposit with or on behalf of Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $47,954.09 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the insurance policies required to be maintained with respect to the Worldwide Plaza Amenities upon the expiration thereof (initially $12,932.05), in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of such policies, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “Amenities Insurance Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Amenities Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.15.2 are referred to herein as the “Amenities Insurance Funds”. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Amenities Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination, accompanied by reasonable evidence thereof, and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities shall be increased by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of such policies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lender shall not be permitted to use the Amenities Insurance Funds other than to pay the Insurance Premiums with respect to the Worldwide Plaza Amenities..

 

(b)          Regardless of whether an Event of Default exists, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply funds in the Amenities Insurance Account to the timely payment of Insurance Premiums for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, provided Borrower shall cause to be furnished to Lender all bills, invoices and statements for such Insurance Premiums for which such funds are required at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such charges first become payable. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Amenities Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made from the Amenities Insurance Funds. Any Amenities Insurance Funds remaining in the Amenities Insurance Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.15.2, in the event that an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 6.15.2, deposits into the Amenities Insurance Account required for Insurance Premiums for the Worldwide Plaza Amenities pursuant to Section 6.15.2(a) above shall be suspended to the extent that such Insurance Premiums relate to such Acceptable Blanket Policy.  As of the date hereof, an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies in Section 5.1.1(a)(ii), (v), (vii) and (viii) required as of the Closing Date

Section 8.2           Remedies.

 

8.2.1      Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, other than with respect to an Event of Default described in subsection (vii) or (viii) of Section 8.1 above, declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in subsection (vii) or (viii) of Section 8.1 above, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

 

 105 

 

 

8.2.2      Remedies Cumulative. 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 or any of 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 Obligations 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 any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, 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 law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. 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.

 

8.2.3      Severance.

 

(a)          During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including 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 Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

 

 106 

 

 

(b)          During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Notes and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security 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 five (5) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

 

(c)          During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

 

8.2.4      Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, if an Event of Default is then continuing Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Borrower shall, to the extent such information is available to Borrower without unreasonable effort or expense and Borrower is not restricted from disclosing such information pursuant to the terms of a confidentiality agreement or similar arrangement with an applicable Tenant, furnish to Lender, in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents and on an ongoing basis, financial data and/or financial statements with respect to such Tenants 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) filings 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.

This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Borrower shall not be responsible for (x) any Securitization Indemnification Liabilities relating to untrue statements or omissions about which Borrower provided notice to Lender in writing prior to Securitization, or (y) any Securitization Indemnification Liabilities relating to any Disclosure Documents (or the applicable provisions thereof) that Borrower is not provided a reasonable opportunity to review; provided, that Borrower agrees it shall complete its review of any initial draft of a Disclosure Document not more than three (3) Business Days after delivery to Borrower thereof, and in the case of any changes to any Disclosure Document forwarded after an initial draft of such Disclosure Document has been delivered to Borrower, promptly upon, but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after, delivery to Borrower of such changes; and (ii) Borrower shall not be liable for any misstatements or omissions resulting from Lender’s failure to accurately transcribe written information delivered by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender unless Borrower was provided a reasonable opportunity to review such Disclosure Documents (or the applicable portions thereof) and failed to notify Lender of such misstatements or omissions.

 

(c)          In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, solely as it relates to Provided Information, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, the Provided 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 financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any reasonable out-of-pocket legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(d)          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 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 pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying party shall pay for any reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; 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. The indemnified party shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursement for which such indemnified party is seeking or intends to seek reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are related to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such indemnified party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings. If the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnified party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnified party shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnifying party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.

 

 113 

 

 

 

(e)          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

 

(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.

 

Section 9.3           Severance.

 

9.3.1           Severance Documentation. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, after or contemporaneously with any sale, syndication, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to require Borrower to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (e.g., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or interest only notes and/or one or more additional components of the note or notes (including the implementation of one or more New Mezzanine Loans (in accordance with Section 9.3.2 below)), reduce the number of components of the note or notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the interest and/or principal balances of the notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component, reallocate the interest and/or principal balance of the Loan and Mezzanine Loan, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments between the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), in which case Lender may adjust Schedule X to reflect such modification(s), provided that (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and (ii) the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original notes immediately prior to such modification, it being acknowledged that partial prepayments of principal may cause the weighted average interest rate to change over time due to the non pro rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, loans, participations or components. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the note and/or notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.

 

 114 

 

 

9.3.2           New Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction), to create one or more mezzanine loans senior in priority to the Current Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the Outstanding Principal Balance and Monthly Debt Service Payment of the Loan to the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (a) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification, (b) the weighted average of the interest rates for the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the interest rate of the original Notes immediately prior to such modification, it being acknowledged that partial prepayments of principal may cause the weighted average interest rate to change over time due to the non pro rata allocation of such prepayments between any such loans, (c) the original outstanding principal balance of the New Mezzanine Loan and the Current Mezzanine Loan shall not exceed $250,000,000.00 and (d) Lender shall cooperate, at no cost to Lender, in good faith with Borrower’s request to maintain the benefits of any mortgage recording tax previously paid. In connection with any New Mezzanine Loan, Borrower shall be responsible for the costs of obtaining a mezzanine title endorsement in the amount of the New Mezzanine Loan. Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan Borrower”) and the applicable organizational documents of Borrower shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Loan Borrower.

 

9.3.3           Cooperation; Execution; Delivery. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Guarantor to, reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with this Section 9.3; provided, that any such cooperation shall not increase (other than to a de minimis extent) Borrower’s or Guarantors’ obligations, or decrease (other than to a de minimis extent) Borrower’s or Guarantors’ rights, under the Loan Documents, other than such increase of obligations or decrease as set forth in this Section 9.3. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection with any modification or New Mezzanine Loan pursuant to this Section 9.3, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any applicable Rating Agency, including, the severance of security documents if requested and/or, in connection with the creation of any New Mezzanine Loan: (i) execution and delivery of a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence such New Mezzanine Loan, (ii) execution and delivery of such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan, (iii) delivery of opinions of legal counsel with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of any modification documents or documents evidencing or securing any New Mezzanine Loan, as applicable and (iv) with respect to any New Mezzanine Loan, delivery of an additional Insolvency Opinion for the Loan and a substantive non-consolidation opinion; each as reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such request by 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 such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of fifteen (15) Business Days after notice thereof.

Any party may change the address to which any such Notice is to be delivered by furnishing ten (10) days written notice of such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.6. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date as set forth above, even if there is an inability to actually deliver any such Notice because of a changed address of which no Notice was given, or there is a rejection or refusal to accept any Notice offered for delivery. Notice for any party may be given by its respective counsel. Additionally, Notice from Lender may also be given by Servicer and Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any Notice given by Servicer as if it had been sent by Lender.

 

Section 10.7         Waiver of Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

 

Section 10.8         Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Schedules and 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 10.9        Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.10       Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder to the extent necessary to conform the applicability of such payments to that required under this Agreement. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

 

Section 10.11      Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

 125 

 

 

Section 10.12      Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

 

Section 10.13      Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement 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 10.14       No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

(a)          Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b)          The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

 

Section 10.15      Publicity. Prior to Securitization, no news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Borrower, Guarantors or any of their Affiliates or principals, Lender, the Affiliate of Lender that acts as the issuer with respect to a Securitization or any of their other Affiliates (collectively, “Publicity”) shall be permitted. Thereafter, all Publicity shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval and Borrower authorizes Lender to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities, including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Lender’s participation therein in the Loan.  

 

 126 

 

 

Section 10.16      Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 10.17     Certain Waivers. 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 or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 

 

Section 10.18     Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any 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 any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.19      Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that, except for Broker, it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower will pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender (except to the extent that Lender engaged such Person) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

 

 127 

 

 

Section 10.20      Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, including any confidentiality agreements or any similar agreements between or among any such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.21       Servicer.

 

(a)          At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the annual master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

 

(b)          Other than as provided in Section 10.21(a) above, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, releases of the Property, approvals under the Loan Documents requested by Borrower, other requests under the Loan, defeasance, assumption of Borrower’s obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, reasonable attorneys fees and expenses and other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan.

 

(c)          Borrower shall only be required to interface with, and pay any servicing costs or expenses that Borrower is required to pay hereunder to, one Servicer with respect to the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan (unless an Event of Default has occurred or the Loan is being specially serviced) with respect to routine, day-to-day matters including approvals of Leases and budgets in accordance with the terms hereof and notices required from, or to be delivered to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents (it being understood that such Servicer may need to consult with other Persons that hold a portion of Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan (or their servicers) or, to the extent provided for in this Agreement, with the Rating Agencies rating the Securities in connection with any such consent, approval or notice).

 

Section 10.22       Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

 

Section 10.23      Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

 

 128 

 

 

Section 10.24       Assignments and Participations.

 

(a)          In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Notes, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrower or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(b)          Lender or its custodial agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of any assignment and assumption agreement (with respect to the Loan or any Loan Document) delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower and each Lender 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 the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Lender’s failure to comply with the foregoing shall not give rise to any defense, claim or right of offset of Borrower with respect to any Obligations of Borrower arising under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(c)          In the event that a Lender sells a participation to any Person (such Person, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement, such Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.30 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 10.30(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 10.30(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 10.30, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Loan or other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

 

 129 

 

 

Section 10.25      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

 

Section 10.26      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 by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

 

Section 10.27       Co-Lenders.

 

10.27.1         Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, each of Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of each Co-Lender and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and other relevant Persons shall be delivered by Borrower and such Persons to each Co-Lender. In addition, (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.

 

10.27.2         Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

 

 130 

 

 

Section 10.28       [Intentionally Omitted]

 

Section 10.29       Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and Current Mezzanine Loan Lender are parties to the Intercreditor Agreement, which memorializes their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, the Current Mezzanine Loan, Borrower, Current Mezzanine Borrower, the Property and the Collateral (as defined in the Current Mezzanine Loan Agreement). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and Current Mezzanine Loan Lender and (ii) neither Borrower nor Current Mezzanine Borrower are intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Current Mezzanine Loan Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

 

Section 10.30       Taxes.

 

(a)          Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any tax from any such payment by a Loan Party, then the Loan Party shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.30) the applicable Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)          The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.

 

(c)          The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender and its Affiliates, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Lender or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified 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 the Borrower by a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)          As soon as practicable after any payment of taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 10.30, such Loan Party shall deliver to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

 

(e)          Tax Forms.

 

(i)          Any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), duly executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying, to the extent such Lender is legally entitled to do so, that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

 

 131 

 

 

(ii)         Any Lender that is a Foreign Lender and that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower, on or prior to the date such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is a Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement and from time to time upon the reasonable request by the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the Borrower), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(A)         if such Lender is claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty, and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(B)         duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the payments received by such Lender are effectively connected with such Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States;

 

(C)         if such Lender is claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any successor form thereto, together with a certificate (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) upon which such Lender certifies that (1) such Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, or the obligation of the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Lender, a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within the meaning of that Section, (2) such Lender is not a 10% shareholder of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3) or Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (3) such Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (4) the interest payments in question are not effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by such Lender; or

 

 132 

 

 

(D)         if such Lender is not the beneficial owner of the applicable Loan, duly executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, or any successor form thereto, accompanied by IRS Form W-9, IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable.

 

(iii)        Any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be reasonably requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(iv)        If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower as may be necessary for the Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(v)         Each 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 the Borrower in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(f)          If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.30 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 10.30), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

In addition, the organizational documents of such Person shall provide that no Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable) of such Person may be removed or replaced without Cause and unless such Person provides Lender with not less than three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of (a) any proposed removal of an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable), together with a statement as to the reasons for such removal, and (b) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Director or Independent Manager, as applicable, together with a certification that such replacement satisfies the requirements set forth in the organizational documents for an Independent Director or Independent Manager (as applicable).

 

(p)          The organizational documents of such Person shall also provide an express acknowledgment that Lender is an intended third-party beneficiary of the “special purpose” provisions of such organizational documents.

 

(q)          The organizational documents of such Person shall provide that the board of directors, the Committee or Sole Member (as applicable) of such Person shall not take any action which, under the terms of any certificate of formation, limited liability company operating agreement or any voting trust agreement, requires an unanimous vote of the board of directors (or the Committee as applicable) of such Person unless at the time of such action there shall be (A) at least two (2) members of the board of directors (or the Committee as applicable) who are Independent Directors or Independent Managers, as applicable (and such Independent Directors or Independent Managers, as applicable, have participated in such vote) or (B) if there is no board of directors or Committee, then such Independent Managers shall have participated in such vote. The organizational documents of such Person shall provide that such Person will not and such Person agrees that it will not, without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors, its Committee or its Sole Member (as applicable), including, or together with, the Independent Directors or Independent Managers (as applicable) (i) file or consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization statute, (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official of such Person or a substantial part of its business, (iii) take any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent, (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (v) admit in writing its inability to pay debts generally as they become due, (vi) declare or effectuate a moratorium on the payment of any obligations, or (vii) take any action in furtherance of the foregoing.
