having the force of law, or due to the compliance by Lender with any directive, whether or not
having the force of law, or requirement from any central bank or domestic or foreign governmental
authority, agency or instrumentality having jurisdiction; and/or (iv) any other set of
circumstances not attributable to Lender’s acts. Payment of Funding Losses hereunder shall be in
addition to any obligation to pay the Prepayment Fee.



(b) If Lender shall have determined in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be
made by Lender with respect to Borrower and this Loan on a non-discriminatory basis) (i) that U.S.
dollar deposits in an amount approximately equal to the then outstanding principal balance of the
Loan are not generally available at such time in the London Interbank Market for deposits in
Eurodollars, (ii) that the rate at which such deposits are being offered will not adequately and
fairly reflect the cost to Lender of maintaining a LIBOR interest rate on the Loan, or of funding
the same in such market for such LIBOR Period, due to circumstances affecting the London Interbank
Market generally, (iii) that reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or (iv) that the
LIBOR interest rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate which Borrower may by law pay,
then, in any such event, Lender shall so notify Borrower and, as of the date of such notification
with respect to an event described in clause (ii) or (iv) above, or as of the expiration of the
applicable LIBOR Period with respect to an event described in clause (i) or (iii) above, interest
shall accrue at the Base Rate until such time as the situations described above are no longer in
effect, or as otherwise provided herein; provided, however, if the situation described in clause
(ii) above occurs, (x) Borrower shall have the option, to be exercised by written notice to Lender,
to pay Lender (in the manner reasonably required by Lender) for such increased cost of maintaining
the LIBOR interest rate, and (y) if the same only affects a portion of the Loan, then only such
portion shall have interest accrue at the Base Rate (provided the remaining portion is at least One
Million Dollars ($1,000,000)), and interest shall continue to accrue on the remaining portion at
the LIBOR interest rate.

(c) If the introduction of, or any change in, any law, regulation or treaty, or in the
interpretation thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration or
interpretation thereof, shall make it unlawful for Lender or to maintain the LIBOR interest rate
with respect to the Loan, or any portion thereof, or to fund the Loan, or any portion thereof, in
Eurodollars in the London Interbank Market, then (i) the Loan (or such portion of the Loan)
shall thereafter bear interest at the Base Rate (unless the Default Rate shall be applicable), and
(ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount of Funding Losses (if any) incurred in connection with
such conversion. The accrual of interest at the Base Rate shall continue until such Payment Date,
if any, as the situation described in this Section 2.2.4(c) is no longer in effect.



(d) If Lender shall have determined in its reasonable discretion (which determination shall be
made by Lender with respect to Borrower and this Loan on a non-discriminatory basis) that the
applicability of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the
July 1988 report of the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices entitled
“International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards”, or the adoption of any
other law, rule, regulation or guideline (including, but not limited to, any United States law,
rule, regulation or guideline) regarding capital adequacy, or any change becoming effective in any
of the foregoing or in the enforcement or interpretation or administration of any of the foregoing
by any court or any domestic or foreign governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the enforcement or interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender
or its holding company, with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of Lender, or Lender’s holding
company, to a level below that which Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such
applicability, adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s or its holding
company’s, policies with respect to capital adequacy) (the foregoing being hereinafter referred to
as “Capital Adequacy Events”), then, within ten (10) days after written demand by Lender, Borrower
shall pay to Lender, from time to time, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender
for any such reduction suffered. If any sum in excess of $2,000,000 shall be payable to Lender by
Borrower under this Section 2.2.4(d), then Borrower may, in lieu of compensating Lender for
such sum repay the Loan in full without payment of any Prepayment Fee on the next Payment Date
occurring after such demand from Lender.



(e) Any amount payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.4(a) or 2.2.4(d) shall be paid to Lender
within thirty (30) days of receipt by Borrower of a certificate signed by an officer of Lender
setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement
shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower, absent manifest error. Failure on the part of
Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period
shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent
or prior period. Lender shall use reasonable efforts to deliver to Borrower prompt notice of any
event described in Section 2.2.4(a) or 2.2.4(d) and of the amount to be paid under this Section
2.2.4 as a result thereof, provided, however, any failure by Lender to so notify Borrower shall not
affect Borrower’s obligation to make the payments to be made under this Section 2.2.4 as a result
thereof. All amounts which may become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 2.2.4 shall constitute additional interest hereunder and shall be
secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.


 


- 14 -









 





(f) If Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any
one or more of the provisions of Sections 2.2.4(a)(iii), 2.2.4(a)(iv) or 2.2.4(d), or
if any event occurs as described in Section 2.2.4(b) or 2.2.4(c) which would cause the Note no
longer to bear interest at LIBOR, then, upon request of Borrower, Lender shall use reasonable
efforts, in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans similar
to the Loan, to designate a different lending office for funding or booking the Loan or to assign
its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates
if such designation or assignment, in Lender’s sole but good faith judgment, (i) would eliminate,
mitigate or reduce amounts payable by Borrower in connection with Funding Losses or Capital
Adequacy Events or, with respect to an event described in Sections 2.2.4(b) or 2.2.4(c), would
allow the Loan to continue to bear interest at the LIBOR interest rate without additional cost to
Lender, and (ii) would not be otherwise prejudicial to Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all
reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation
or assignment.




2.3 Loan Repayment.



2.3.1 Repayment. Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the
Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to the date of repayment and any
other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have no right to prepay all
or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section 2.2.4(d), Section
2.3.2 and Section 2.3.3. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all
proceeds of any repayment, including permitted prepayments, of the Loan shall be applied by Lender
as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the
Applicable Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, any other amounts then due and owing
under the Loan Documents. If the Debt is accelerated at any time by reason of an Event of Default,
then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest
and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee. During the
continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on
the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless
otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender
shall elect in Lender’s discretion.



2.3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain
instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each, a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the
manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2. Each Casualty/Condemnation
Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall
be made on a Payment Date and shall be applied in the same manner as permitted repayments under
Section 2.3.1.



2.3.3 Voluntary Prepayments. The Loan may be prepaid in full or in part on any
Payment Date upon at least 15 days prior notice to Lender, provided that (i) Borrower pay the
Prepayment Fee, (ii) Borrower pays all accrued but unpaid interest on the Principal being prepaid,
and (iii) with respect to any partial prepayment, the partial prepayment will be in an amount of
not less than $500,000 and in multiples of $100,000.

2.4 Payments and Computations.



2.4.1 Making of Payments. Each payment by Borrower shall be made to Lender in funds
settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds available to
Lender by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due. Whenever any such
payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made
on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without
any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and
appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof,
including attorneys’ fees and court costs.



2.4.2 Computations. Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be calculated on
the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year and thirty (30) day month factors.



2.4.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan
Document is not paid by Borrower within five (5) days after the date on which it is due, Borrower
shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid
sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), in order to
defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to
compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment, provided that the grace
period will be ten (10) days and not five (5) days for the first late payment during any twelve
(12) month period. Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. No Late Payment Charge
shall be due with respect to the payment of or failure to pay the Debt payable on the Stated
Maturity Date.



2.5 Commitment Fee. Prior to the date hereof, Borrower paid to Lender a $1,396,875
commitment fee and a $105,000 processing fee.




2.6 Interest Rate Protection Agreement

Agreement, which acknowledgment includes such counterparty’s agreement to pay directly into the
Deposit Account all sums payable by such counterparty pursuant to the Interest Rate Protection
Agreement in the form required by the Collateral Assignment (provided that the Collateral

material respect and do not increase Lender’s obligations or liabilities thereunder.



(c) In connection with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and
deliver to Lender, within fifteen (15) days after the date hereof, an opinion of counsel from

reasonable discretion).

2.6.3 No Obligation of Lender. Borrower agrees that Lender shall not have any
obligation, duty or responsibility to Borrower or any other Person by reason of, or in connection
with, any Interest Rate Protection Agreement (including any duty to provide or arrange any Interest
Rate Protection Agreement, to consent to any mortgage or pledge of the Property or any portion
thereof as security for Borrower’s performance of its obligations under any Interest Rate
Protection Agreement, or to provide any credit or financial support for the obligations of Borrower
or any other Person thereunder or with respect thereto). No Interest Rate Protection Agreement
shall alter, impair, restrict, limit or modify in any respect the obligation of Borrower to pay
interest on the Loan as and when the same becomes due and payable in accordance with the provisions
of the Loan Documents.



2.6.4 Receipts from Interest Rate Protection Agreements. All payments made by the
counterparty to the Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be deposited into the Deposit Account
and applied in the same manner as Rents are applied under Section 3.8.



3. CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES.




3.1 Cash Management. (a) Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly-by
the Space Tenant or any other Net Tenant and all other tenants or subtenants of the Property that
are required to pay their rent to Borrower into an account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender
(the “Deposit Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. The Deposit
Account will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall not have any
right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining the
Deposit Account.



(b) Pursuant to the NYT Space Lease, Space Tenant is required to pay monthly basic rent under
the NYT Space Lease in advance on the twenty-fifth (25th) day of each month. Pursuant
to a written direction from Borrower to Space Tenant given concurrently with the execution of this
Agreement, Space Tenant has been directed to make all monthly payments of basic rent under the NYT
Space Lease to the Deposit Account. Lender will endeavor (but not have any obligation) to notify
Borrower by written or oral notice within three (3) Business Days after the twenty-fifth
(25th) day of each month if the Space Tenant has failed to pay the required monthly
basic rent under the NYT Space Lease to the Deposit Account but Lender’s failure to timely give
such a notice shall not create any liability against Lender or affect Borrower’s obligations
hereunder.



3.2 Special Reserve Account. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, Borrower is paying to Lender the amount of $1,085,200.00 (representing two (2) months
Taxes for the Property (net of credits to Taxes available to and in fact being used for the
Property) and two (2) months Condominium Charges for the Property) which shall be held by Lender in
an Account (the “Special Reserve Account”). From time to time as the annual amount of Taxes and/or
Condominium Charges increases, Lender may give a notice to Borrower requiring Borrower to pay to
Lender an amount of money that will cause the aggregate amount held by Lender under this Section
3.2 to equal two-twelfths (2/12) of the then annual amount of
Taxes and Condominium Charges in which event Borrower shall pay such amount to Lender within
10 days after the giving of such notice by Lender. All monies held by Lender pursuant to this
Section 3.2 shall be disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5, Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 3.2 to the contrary, if at any time Borrower is in default under Section
5.33 and such default remains uncured for 30 days after notice from Lender, Lender may apply monies
in the Special Reserve Account to cure such default, in which event, Borrower shall within ten (10)
days after notice from Lender, deposit with Lender the monies so applied by Lender and Lender will
deposit such monies in the Special Reserve Account.

3.3 DSCR Reserve Account and LTV Reserve Account. (a) If Borrower shall deposit with
Lender cash pursuant to the provisions of clause (q) of Section 8.1, or Lender shall draw
on a Letter of Credit provided thereunder and receive cash from the issuing bank, Lender will
deposit such cash in an Account (the “DSCR Reserve Account”). All monies in the DSCR Reserve
Account will be additional collateral to secure repayment of the Debt. Provided that there is then
no uncured Event of Default, Lender will disburse all funds then in the DSCR Reserve Account within
15 days after delivery to Lender of a request therefore accompanied by evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that as of the last day of two (2) consecutive calendar quarters, the Debt
Service Coverage Rates (without regard to a Letter of Credit or cash delivered to Lender pursuant
to Section 8.1(q)) equals or exceeds 1.35 to 1.00. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any monies in the DSCR
Reserve Account to payment of the Debt in any order and in any manner as Lender may elect in its
sole discretion.



(b) If Borrower shall deposit with Lender cash pursuant to the provisions of clause (r) of
Section 8.1, or Lender shall draw on a Letter of Credit provided thereunder and receive
cash from the issuing bank, Lender will deposit such cash in an Account (the “LTV Reserve
Account”). All monies in the LTV Reserve Account will be additional collateral to secure repayment
of the Debt. Provided that there is then no uncured Event of Default, Lender will disburse all
funds then in the LTV Reserve Account within 15 days after delivery to Lender of a request
therefore accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the requirements for the
release of funds in the LTV Reserve Account described in clause (r) of Section 8.1 have been
satisfied. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during the continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender may apply any monies in the LTV Reserve Account to payment of the Debt in any order
and in any manner as Lender may elect in its sole discretion,



3.4 NYT Reserve Account. If Borrower shall deposit with Lender cash in the amount of
$35,000,000 pursuant to the provisions of clause (i) of Section 8.1, or Lender shall draw
on a Letter of Credit provided thereunder and receive cash from the issuing bank, Lender will
deposit such cash in an Account (the “NYT Reserve Account”). All monies in the NYT Reserve Account
will be additional collateral to secure repayment of the Debt. Provided that there is then no
uncured Event of Default, Lender will disburse all funds then in the NYT Reserve Account within 15
days after delivery to Lender of a request therefore accompanied by evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender that (i) Property Owner or The New York Times Company, as applicable, has
come out of bankruptcy with the Severance Lease and the NYT Space Lease, as applicable, affirmed
with no material changes thereto and the tenants under such leases making the required rental
payments thereunder, or (ii) the Property is re-tenanted pursuant to Leases approved by Lender
resulting in the Debt Service Coverage Ratio test
described in clause (q) of Section 8.1 being satisfied. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any monies
in the NYT Reserve Account to payment of the Debt in any order and in any manner as Lender may
elect in its sole discretion.

3.5 Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds. 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 of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to
or monies held in all Accounts created or described in this Article III. Borrower hereby
grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of
Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the payment of such Rents to Lender. Borrower shall
not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any
security interest in any Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made
thereon, or any UCC-l 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 Account 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 Pledge or exercise its other
rights under the Loan Documents. Monies in any Account shall not constitute trust funds and may be
commingled with other monies held by Lender. Funds in each Account will be invested only in
Permitted Investments. All interest which accrues on monies in the Accounts shall accrue 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 accrues except
that (i) interest on monies in the Deposit Account will be disbursed to Borrower on or before the
fourth Business Day after the applicable NYT Space Lease Payment Date (as such term is defined in
the Deposit Account Agreement), and (ii) interest on monies in the Special Reserve Account will be
disbursed to Borrower on or before March 1st of each year if and to the extent the accrued interest
exceeds the increase, if any, in the amount to be held in the Special Reserve Account during such
year pursuant to Section 3.2. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the
Accounts, if any (plus interest), shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower. One or more of the
Accounts (other than any Account which contains security deposits pursuant to Section 3.7 hereof)
may be a ledger or book entry account at the Deposit Bank and not an actual account.



3.6 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit. (a) Borrower may deliver to Lender a
Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.1(i), Section
8.1(q) or Section 8.1(r). Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with Borrower’s delivery of a Letter of Credit.
Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit delivered
under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence
and 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 payment of the Debt in such
order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Lender shall endeavor (but shall be under
no obligation) to notify Borrower promptly after drawing on any Letter of Credit. Any such
application to the Debt after
an Event of Default that remains uncured shall be subject to the applicable Prepayment Fee, if
any.

(b) 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: (i) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, 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 twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the outstanding
Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire, (ii) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated
expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the
Letter of Credit at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is
scheduled to expire together with an original of such renewal or a substitute Letter of Credit is
not provided at least twenty (20) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit
is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of
Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or
(iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an
Eligible Institution and Borrower shall not have replaced such Letter of Credit with a Letter of
Credit issued by another Eligible Institution within ten (10) Business Days after receiving written
notice thereof Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, (except with
respect to the NYT Letter of Credit subject to the provisions of Section 3.7 hereof), Lender is not
obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii)
or (iv) 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 the Letter of Credit. Upon drawing
upon any Letter of Credit pursuant to this clause (b), Lender shall promptly deposit the proceeds
thereof into an Account and hold such monies as additional security for payment of the Debt in
accordance with the provisions of this Article III.



(c) If Borrower has delivered to Lender a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 8.1(q),
provided that thereafter the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (without regard to any Letter of Credit or
cash delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(q)) as of the last day of two (2)
consecutive calendar quarters equals or exceeds 1.35 to 1.00 and there is then no uncured Event of
Default, Lender will return the Letter of Credit to Borrower.



(d) If Borrower has delivered to Lender a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 8.1(r),
provided that thereafter the Loan to Value Ratio (without regard to any Letter of Credit or cash
delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 8.1(r)) equals or is less than 0.50 to 1.00 and there is
then no uncured Event of Default, Lender will return the Letter of Credit to Borrower.



(e) If Lender shall draw on any Letter of Credit, promptly thereafter Lender will notify
Borrower of such draw.



(f) Upon repayment in full of the Debt, Lender will return to Borrower any Letter of Credit
then held by Lender.


 


- 21 -









 





(g) If there is any inconsistency or conflict between the provisions of this Section
3.6 and the provisions of Section 3.7 relating to the NYT Letter of Credit, the
provisions of Section 3.7 will govern and control.



3.7 Security Deposits. (a) To the extent required under applicable law or the
applicable Lease, Borrower shall keep all cash security deposits under Leases at a separately
designated Account under Borrower’s control at the Deposit Bank so that the security deposits shall
not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower. To the extent the landlord under a Lease is
required under applicable law or the applicable Lease, to keep cash security deposits separated,
Lender will comply with such requirement.



(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Borrower has delivered to Lender the
NYT Letter of Credit, together with an assignment thereof in favor of Lender executed by Borrower.
Provided that there is no uncured Event of Default, if Borrower shall give a notice to Lender
requesting that Lender present the NYT Letter of Credit to the issuing bank (and stating the amount
to be drawn and on what basis the NYT Letter of Credit is to be drawn), then provided the NYT
Letter of Credit may be drawn by the landlord pursuant to the provisions of the NYT Space Lease,
Lender shall within five (5) Business Days thereafter either present the NYT Letter of Credit to
the issuing bank for a draw thereunder in the amount set forth in Borrower’s notice or deliver the
NYT Letter of Credit (together with all forms or information reasonable necessary to transfer the
NYT Letter of Credit to Carey Wrap) to Carey Wrap. If Lender shall fail to so present or deliver
the NYT Letter of Credit within said five (5) Business Day period, then Borrower may give a second
notice to Lender requesting that Lender so present the NYT Letter of Credit or so deliver the NYT
Letter of Credit (together with an assignment thereof in favor of Carey Wrap) to Carey Wrap, which
second notice shall specifically refer to this Section 3.7 and shall explicitly state that
if Lender shall fail to so present or deliver the NYT Letter of Credit within five (5) Business
Days after the giving of such second notice, Lender will be liable for any reasonable cost, expense
or loss incurred by Carey Wrap as a result of Lender’s failure to so present or draw the NYT Letter
of Credit. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees to give Lender a reminder notice stating the
expiration date of the NYT Letter of Credit no less than forty (40) days and no more than ninety
(90) days prior to such expiration date and a second reminder notice stating the expiration date of
the NYT Letter of Credit no later than twenty (20) days and no more than thirty (30) days prior to

continuance of an Event of Default and the continuance of an event of default by the Space Tenant
under the NYT Space Lease.



(c) If at any time Lender draws on the NYT Letter of Credit, Lender will deposit any proceeds
thereof in an Account (the “NYT Security Deposit Account”). All monies in the NYT Security Deposit
Account will be additional collateral to secure repayment of the Debt. While the NYT Space Lease
is in force and effect, provided that there is then no uncured Event of Default, within ten (10)
days after request from Borrower, Lender will disburse all monies in the NYT Security Deposit
Account to Space Tenant.

permitted to draw on the NYT Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of the NYT Space Lease

(but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such
disbursement is for an Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified
(by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated
with such Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an

Expenses.

Default under the NYT Space Lease and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may
apply any monies in the NYT Security Deposit Account to payment of the Debt in any order and in any
manner as Lender may elect in its sole discretion.

pursuant to the such Net Lease, Lender will return same to Borrower within ten (10) days after
written request by Borrower.

constituting a security deposit under a Net Lease then held by Lender together with any required
forms or information to change the designated beneficiary of such Letter of Credit to Carey Wrap.

Default, all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest
Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority; (i)
First, to pay the monthly portion of the fees, if any, charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance
with the Deposit Account Agreement; (ii) Second, to Lender to pay the monthly debt service
payment amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and
all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.8(a),
then due to Lender under the Loan Documents); and (iii) Third, the balance of any payments to
Borrower of any remaining amounts.

(ii) of Section 3.8(a) in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for
such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate
Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.



(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.8, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account
and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.



4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date hereof that, except to the extent
(if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 with reference to a specific Section of this Article IV:



4.1 Organization; Special Purpose. Borrower has been duly organized and is validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, with requisite power
and authority, and all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise,
necessary to own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Borrower
is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required
to be so qualified in connection with its properties, business and operations. Each of Carey Wrap
and Carey Lender is a Special Purpose Entity (as such term is defined in Schedule 4
attached hereto).



4.2 Proceedings; Enforceability. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize
the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly
executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower
enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general
principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any
right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury. No exercise
of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document
unenforceable.



4.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by
Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby will not conflict with or result in a breach of
any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or
imposition of any Lien (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of
Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by
which its property is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of
any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction
over Borrower or any of its properties. Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and any
Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, or the exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental
Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents
has been obtained and is in full force and effect.


 


- 24 -









 





4.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity
by or before any Governmental Authority (a) now pending or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge,
threatened against or affecting Borrower, the Collateral or the Property or (b) to Borrower’s
actual knowledge, pending or threatened against or affecting Property Owner, which, if adversely
determined, would materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of
the Borrower, or the condition or ownership of the Property or the Collateral,



4.5 Agreements. Neither Borrower nor Property Owner is a party to any agreement or
instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower, the
Collateral or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial
or otherwise other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Neither Borrower nor to Borrower’s actual
knowledge, Property Owner is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted
Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or the
Property is bound.



4.6 Title. Property Owner is the legal and beneficial owner of the Property.
Borrower has good and marketable title to the Collateral (other than the PI Collateral). The
Pledge-Mortgage together with any UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection
therewith, will create a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s interest in the
Collateral (other than the PI Collateral). The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely
affect the value, operation or use of the Property, the Collateral or Borrower’s ability to repay
the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is
contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways
providing access to the Property. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials
affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the
Liens created by the Loan Documents, There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of
first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property other than those set forth in the NYT
Space Lease. The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to reflect material
matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. All of the Improvements included in
determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building
restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the
Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon the Improvements,
except those insured against by the title insurance policy insuring the Lien of the Mortgage. No
portion of the Property is a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property.
There are no pending or to Borrower’s actual knowledge proposed special or other assessments for
public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the
Property that may result in such special or other assessments.


 


- 25 -









 





4.7 No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a
petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or
a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any
Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it. In addition, neither Borrower nor
any principal of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the
past ten years.



4.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in any Loan
Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently
known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or reasonably
could adversely affect the Property, the Collateral or the business, operations or condition
(financial or otherwise) of Borrower or Property Owner. All financial data, including the
statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in
respect of Borrower, the Collateral or the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all
material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of Borrower, Property Owner
and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by a certified
public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered,
except as disclosed therein. Borrower has no contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes,
unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable
commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the
date of such financial statements of Borrower or the Property, there has been no materially adverse
change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set
forth in said financial statements.



4.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will
constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section
2510.3-101.



4.10 Compliance. Borrower, the Collateral and the Property and the use thereof comply
in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking
and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances). Neither Borrower nor
Property Owner is in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any
Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition
(financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or Property Owner. The Property currently is used
exclusively as an office building and other appurtenant and related uses and amenities (including
certain public space and a natural gas fired co-generator). In the event that all or any part of
the Property is destroyed or damaged, the Property can be legally reconstructed to its condition
prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any
zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances
or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to the actual knowledge of Borrower,
threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to
construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property
other than Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates
of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the
Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full
force and effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the temporary or
permanent certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants
and conditions affecting the Property.

the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the
meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other
purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document. Borrower is

meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a

Documents, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or
contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as
such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to
carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to,
and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities
and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the
timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

(b) Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time, subject to the rights of tenants
(and, as long as the NYT Space Lease is in force and effect, subject to the provisions of Section
10(c) of the NYT Space Lease), Borrower shall provide an inspection or audit of the Property
prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified environmental
consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on or
in the Property. The cost and expense of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrower not

good faith judgment, determines that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an
environmental inspection or audit of the Property, in which cases such limitation shall not be

audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous
Substance, whether such Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by
Property Owner, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrower shall cause
such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at its expense upon the

Work within such period of time as may be required under applicable law). All Remedial Work shall

supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs of such Remedial Work shall be
paid by Borrower, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in
connection with the monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. If Borrower does not timely
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be
obligated to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed at Borrower’s expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified
time period: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such
Remedial Work within such time period would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work violating any
Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is
contesting by appropriate legal, administrative


 


- 34 -









 






or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and
with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work. Borrower shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work,
provided that, (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance
of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Property nor any part thereof or
interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower fails to promptly perform the Remedial
Work being contested, and if Borrower fails to prevail in such contest, Borrower would thereafter
have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such
permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower have not
furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal
liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of
any Lien for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below,
as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall have furnished to
Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage
that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be
reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of
the reasonable cost of such Remedial Work as estimated by Lender or Lender’s Consultant and any
loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest.



(d) Borrower shall not install or permit to be installed on the Property any underground
storage tank. Borrower has informed Lender that an existing 7500 gallon above ground fuel oil tank
used to power the emergency generator has been incorrectly registered as an underground storage
tank.



5.8 Title to the Collateral; Liens. Borrower will warrant and defend the title to the
Collateral, and the validity and priority of all Liens granted or otherwise given to Lender under
the Loan Documents, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, against the claims of all Persons.
Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not create, incur, assume, permit or suffer
to exist any Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral or any direct or indirect legal or
beneficial ownership interest in Borrower, except Liens in favor of Lender and Permitted
Encumbrances, unless such Lien is bonded or discharged within 30 days after Borrower first receives
notice of such Lien.

Sublease or SNDA, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of such proposed lease, sublease or SNDA

the request in writing delivered to Borrower within five (5) Business Days after receipt by Lender
of such second written request, the proposed Lease, proposed Sublease, proposed renewal, extension
or modification of a Lease or a Sublease, or proposed SNDA, as applicable, shall be deemed approved

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as long as the NYT Space Lease is in force and effect for the entire
Property, if Property Owner keeps and maintains and complies with (i) the insurance requirements
set forth in the NYT Space Lease, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 6, (ii)
the insurance requirements set forth in the Severance Lease, and (iii) the insurance requirements,
set forth in the Declaration applicable to the Property, then Borrower will be deemed to be in
compliance with insurance requirements contained in this Section 7.1.1.



7.1.2 Policies. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to
Section 7.1.1 shall (i) be issued by companies reasonably approved by Lender and licensed to do
business in the State of New York, with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by
Standards and Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies and a rating of A-X or
better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; (ii) name Lender and its successors and/or assigns
as their interest may appear as the mortgagee (in the case of property insurance) or an additional
insured (in the case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance) a
Non-Contributory Standard Lender Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their

desirable to protect its interest, including endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender
nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies and that Lender shall receive at least
10 days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the
Policies; and (vii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to
amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the
premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and
furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with receipts for or
other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If
Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the
expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such
insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost
of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate.
Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within thirty (30) days after its

prudent customs and practices, and the like.




7.2 Casualty.



7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in
part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to
Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds
are available for restoration, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the
Property in accordance with Legal Requirements, the Severance Lease, the Condominium
Documents and the Net Lease to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same
character as prior to such damage or destruction.


 


- 56 -









 





7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an
“Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $1,000,000, provided no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the
prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner,
and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the
“Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $1,000,000 (a
“Significant Casualty”) or during the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, Lender may,
in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with
the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable
solely to Lender and held by Lender and disbursed in accordance herewith. Such Proceeds shall be
held by Lender in an Account (the “Casualty/Condemnation Account”), If Borrower or any party other
than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty,
Borrower shall immediately 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 such check payable to the order of Lender. The expenses
incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part
of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, while a Net Lease is in force and effect, if pursuant to such Net Lease, the Net Tenant
thereunder (i) may settle and adjust any claims without the consent of the landlord thereunder and
such Net Lease does not require the consent of the landlord’s mortgagee or pledge with respect
thereto, or (ii) to receive, hold or disburse the Proceeds, then the provisions of this Section
7.2 shall not affect, diminish or prohibit such rights of such Net Tenant.




7.3 Condemnation.



7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual
or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property
(a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection
with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of
whether an Award is available for restoration, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace
or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at
least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior
to such Condemnation.



7.3.2 Collection of Award. Subject to the rights of the Condominium Board, Lender is
hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with
exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation
(an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such
Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation
of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner
provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award
shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to 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 in the Note. If the Property is sold, through
foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the
right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been
sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt.
Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender
shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Account and disburse such Award in accordance
with the terms hereof. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, while a Net
Lease is in force and effect, if pursuant to such Net Lease the Net Tenant thereunder (i) may
settle and adjust any Award without the consent of the landlord thereunder and such Net Lease does
not require the consent of the landlord’s mortgagee or pledgee with respect thereto, or (ii) to
receive, hold or disburse the Award, then the provisions of this Section 7.3.2 shall not affect,
diminish or prohibit such rights of such Net Tenant.




 


- 57 -









 







7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.



7.4.1 Application to Restoration. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.4.4,
if an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less
than the lesser of (x) $30,000,000 or (y) 30% of the unpaid Principal, (ii) in the reasonable
judgment of Lender, Property can be restored within eighteen (18) months, and prior to six months
before the Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption
insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed
immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less
valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or
Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt and (iii) no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may
be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower
for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding such Property (the “Restoration”), in
the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award
to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the
foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall
deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the
Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof (as estimated by an independent
consultant selected by Lender and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, reasonably
approved by Borrower); and ()I) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it
that during the period of the Restoration the net proceeds of the rental loss or business
interruption insurance required by Section 7.1.1(d) shall be available and payable to
Lender, as reasonably determined by Lender.



7.4.2 Application to Debt. Except as provided in Section 7.4.1 or Section
7.4.4, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, (a) be applied
to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii)
other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or (b) applied to
reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section
7.4.3. Any such prepayment of the Loan shall be made on a Payment Date and shall be without
any prepayment consideration.


 


- 58 -









 





7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to
reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be
disbursed from time to time as work progresses upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence
satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price
or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
(iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the
Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv)
such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance
endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and
items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s reasonable discretion, and (iv) all
plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by
Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant
to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition
precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration
shall exceed 90% of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the
Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all
times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together
with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or
on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of
Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims
for Lien. Provided no Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds
held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus
that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall,
in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt on a Payment
Date and shall be without any prepayment consideration or returned to Borrower.



7.4.4 Condominium and Lease Provisions. (a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, if (i) an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs to the Property, (ii) Proceeds or the
Award are not required to be made available for Restoration pursuant to Section 7.4.1 and
(iii) Lender elects, pursuant to Section 7.4.2 to apply Proceeds or the Award to payment of
the Debt, but because of any controlling provisions in Condominium Documents, the Severance Lease
or the Net Lease (if the Net Lease is then in force and effect) that require application of such
Proceeds or Award to Restoration of the Property such Proceeds or Award, or any portion thereof,
must be applied to Restoration, then such Proceeds or the Award will in fact be applied to
Restoration of the Property notwithstanding such election by Lender; provided that if the Proceeds
or Award are to be applied to. Restoration because of the controlling provisions of a Net Lease,
(x) if at any time there is an event of default under the Net Lease, then during the continuance of
such event of default no Proceeds or Awards will be disbursed to the Net Tenant for Restoration,
(y) if the consent of Borrower as landlord under the Net Lease is required in connection with one
or more matters relating to the Restoration (including, if applicable, the identity of the Person
who will hold and disburse the Proceeds or the Award), Borrower will not grant any such consent
unless Lender has given its consent thereto; and (z) Lender shall have the right, at its option, to
determine the amount of deficiency, if any, between the amount of Proceeds or Award and the
estimated cost of completing Restoration pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of
Section 19(b) of the NYT Space Lease or the applicable provision of the Net Lease (as
estimated by an independent consultant selected by Lender and as
long as no Event of Default is continuing, reasonably approved by Borrower). The foregoing
shall not affect Lender’s right to impose any additional reasonable conditions with respect to the
application or disbursement of Proceeds or Award to Restoration, as provided for in Section
19(a)(vii) of the NYT Space Lease or the applicable provision of the Net Lease.


 


- 59 -









 





(b) Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the
right, upon notice to, but without the consent of Lender, to accept or reject any offer made by the
Space Tenant to terminate the NYT Space Lease in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation
pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 18 of the NYT Space Lease so
long as (i) the amount payable by Space Tenant to Borrower pursuant to the NYT Space Lease in
connection with such termination plus the amount of the proceeds or awards, as applicable, which
Borrower is entitled to retain pursuant to the NYT Space Lease in connection therewith equals or
exceeds the Debt and (ii) concurrently with the termination of the NYT Space Lease the Debt is
repaid in full on a Payment Date without payment of any Prepayment Fee. If Borrower enters into a
Net Lease with a provision substantially the same as Section 18 of the NYT Space Lease and which
Net Lease is approved by Lender in its sole discretion, then the provisions of clause (b) will be
applicable with respect to such Net Lease.

occurrence of an event described in clauses (f) or (g) to The New York Times Company or Property
Owner or (y) The New York Times Company ceases to occupy all or a material portion of the Property,

8.2 Remedies.



8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default described in clauses (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to
time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan
Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that
Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the
Collateral; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid
interest), Default Rate interest, the Late Payment Charges, the Prepayment Fee and any other
amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand, and upon any Event of Default described in
clauses (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, the
Prepayment Fee, the Late Payment Charge and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately
and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly
waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary
notwithstanding.



8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence 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 the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from
time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, 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. Any such actions
taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its
discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the
other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the
Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event
of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not 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 Collateral, the Pledge has been foreclosed, the
Collateral has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has
been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan
Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the
satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek
satisfaction out of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its discretion.


 


- 63 -









 





8.2.3 Severance. Lender shall have the right from time to time (whether before or
after the occurrence of an Event of Default) to sever the Note, the Pledge and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents in such
denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for
purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. 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 such severance,
Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof, The same shall be at
Borrower’s cost and expense, if there is then an uncured Event of Default, and at Lender’s cost and
expense, if there is then no uncured Event of Default.



8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing
upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair
any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent
Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a
deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Pledge
to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Collateral.



8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or
obligation contained herein, 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, Lender
may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause 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 Debt ( and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Pledge and
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.



9. MISCELLANEOUS




9.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note,
this Agreement, the Pledge or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money
judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an
action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to
enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other
Loan Documents, or in all or any portion of the Collateral; provided, however, that, except as
specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall


 


- 64 -









 






be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage
and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against
Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the
Note, this Agreement, the Pledge or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section
9.1 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation
evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower
as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect
the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with

against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the
security granted by the Pledge or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order

of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Carey, by money judgment or otherwise, but
only to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation
actually incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred)
arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower

Guarantor or any of their agents or representatives in connection with the Loan;

loss, damage or destruction to the Property, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in
connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, or (C) any security
deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits;




(v) all Rents of the Property received or collected by or on behalf of Borrower or any
Affiliate of Borrower during the continuance of an Event of Default and not applied to
payment of Principal and interest due under the Note, or to the payment of actual and
reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or payable (except to the
extent that such application of such funds is prevented by bankruptcy, receivership, or
similar judicial proceeding in which Carey is legally prevented from directing the
disbursement of such sums);


 


- 65 -









 






(vi) Borrower’s failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can
create Liens on any portion of the Property with respect to alterations performed by or with
the consent of Borrower to the extent such Liens are not bonded over or discharged in
accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;




(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected by
Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower with respect to the Property which are not delivered
to Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and




(viii) Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Property, provide financial
information, fails to maintain its status as a single purpose entity or fails to appoint a
new property manager upon the request of Lender after an Event of Default, each to the
extent required by, and in accordance with the terms and provisions of, this Agreement.



Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (A)
Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a),
506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full
amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing
to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Carey
in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i)
Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary
Lien encumbering the Property or the Collateral; (ii) Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior
consent to any Transfer of the Property or the Collateral or any interest therein or any Transfer
of any direct or indirect interest in Borrower, in either case as required by the Pledge or this
Agreement other than a Permitted Transfer; (iii) Borrower or any Partner Pledgor files a voluntary
petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law;

or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors
for any involuntary petition against Borrower from any Person; (v) Borrower files an answer
consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it,

than an application initiated by Lender); (vii) Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its
debts as they become due, (viii) Guarantor (or any Person comprising or Controlled by Guarantor),
Borrower or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in connection with any enforcement action or
exercise or assertion of any right or remedy by or on behalf of Lender under or in connection with
the Guaranty, the Note, the Pledge or any other Loan Document, seeks a defense, judicial
intervention or injunctive or other equitable relief of any kind or asserts in a pleading filed in
connection with a


 


- 66 -









 






judicial proceeding any defense against Lender or any right in connection with any security for the Loan which
interferes with or hinders or delays Lender’s exercise of its rights or remedies under any of the
Loan Documents and the court in any such action or proceeding, determines that Borrower’s defense,
or such request for judicial intervention or injunctive or other equitable relief, was legally
frivolous, was made in bad faith or was primarily made for the purpose of interfering with or
hindering or delaying Lender’s rights or remedies under any of the Loan Documents or (ix) Borrower,
Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor claims or asserts without Lender’s written
consent (which consent may be withheld in Lender’s sole discretion) in any action or proceeding
(including any voluntary or involuntary proceeding under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code filed by or
against Carey Wrap, Carey Lender, Property Owner or any other Person or any foreclosure action
relating to the Property or the Collateral) that Carey Wrap is the beneficial owner of the Property
or the beneficial owner of the leasehold estate created by the Severance Lease.



9.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with
no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection
with the Loan other than Cushman & Wakefield, Sonnenblick-Goldman LLC (“Borrower’s Broker”) whose
fees shall be paid by Borrower pursuant to a separate agreement between Borrower and Borrower’s
Broker. Borrower shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims,
liabilities, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, whether incurred in connection with
enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in any way relating to
or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower in connection
with the Loan. The provisions of this Section 9.2 shall survive the expiration and
termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.



9.3 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and
warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making
by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in
full force and effect so long as any of the Debt is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set
forth in this Agreement. All Borrower’s covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall inure to
the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.



9.4 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or consent or withhold
consent, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender’s
discretion, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to
decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or acceptable or
unacceptable or in Lender’s discretion shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided)
be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if Borrower requests Lender’s approval to Borrower consenting to any action of the Net
Tenant or to any issue relating to a Restoration under a Net Lease and pursuant to the provisions
of the Net Lease, the consent of the landlord and the landlord’s mortgagee to such action of the

to a Restoration will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided Borrower

9.6 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension,
discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan
Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective

CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.



9.8 Headings/Exhibits. The Section headings 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 Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the
Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.



9.9 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.



9.10 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender
shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments
by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or
Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or part 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 Debt 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. This provision shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.


 


- 69 -









 





9.11 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 any other Loan
Document specifically and expressly requires 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. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to
receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically
and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.



9.12 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of
its agents, including any servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any
case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an
obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents,
including any servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall
be to commence 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. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its
agents, including any servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s
behalf.



9.13 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire
agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties,
whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.



9.14 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. 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, including any servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make
payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan
Documents shall take the same free and clear of all unrelated offsets, counterclaims or defenses
which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
offset, 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.



9.15 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable
state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract
for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that
this Section 9.15 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the
applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken,
reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate
the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest
in excess of



 


- 70 -









 






that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent
that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid
Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded
to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the
amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any
new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest
amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use,
forbearance or detention of 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 Debt does not exceed the
maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt
is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not
the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time
of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.



9.16 Conflict; Construction of Documents. 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 each is represented by separate counsel in
connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents
shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted
them.



9.17 No Third Party Beneficiaries. 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.



9.18 Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights,
title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and
assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of
law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise, at Lender’s cost and
expense. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan 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. Borrower may not assign its
rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan
Documents except in connection with a Transfer and Assumption.



9.19 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.



9.20 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan
Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, 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. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower
after each 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.



9.21 Joint and Several. Each person constituting Borrower will be jointly and
severally liable for the obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

10. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY; WAIVERS




10.1 Joint and Several Liability; Primary Obligors. Each entity comprising Borrower
(each, a “Borrower Entity”) shall be a primary obligor with respect to payment of the Debt and
performance of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and all such Borrower Entities shall
be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Debt and performance of such other obligations.
As used in this Article, references to “Other Borrower” shall mean the Borrower Entity other than
the particular Borrower Entity referred to.



10.2 Waivers. Without limiting the primary liability of each Borrower Entity as set
forth above, to the extent any such Borrower Entity is determined to be secondarily liable with
respect to any portion of the Debt or any other obligation hereunder, the following shall apply:



(a) It shall not be necessary for Lender (and each Borrower Entity hereby waives any rights
which such Borrower Entity may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of such
Borrower Entity hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against the Other
Borrower or others liable on the Debt or any other person, (ii) enforce Lender’s rights against any
collateral mortgaged, pledged or granted by the Other Borrower which shall ever have been given to
secure the Debt (“Other Borrower Collateral”), (iii) enforce Lender’s rights against any other
guarantors of the Debt, (iv) join Borrower or any others liable on the Debt in any action against
the Other Borrower seeking to enforce the Loan Documents, (v) exhaust any remedies available to
Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Debt, or (vi) resort
to any other means of obtaining payment of the Loan by the Other Borrower. Lender shall not be
required to mitigate damages or take any other action pertaining to the Other Borrower or any Other
Borrower Collateral to reduce, collect or enforce the Debt from the Other Borrower.



(b) Such Borrower Entity agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives
notice of (i) any loans or advances made by Lender to the Other Borrower, (ii) acceptance of the
Loan Documents, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Loan Agreement or of any other
Loan Documents entered into by the Other Borrower, (iv) the execution and delivery by the Other
Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of the Other Borrower’s execution and
delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in
connection with the Other Borrower Collateral, (v) the occurrence of any breach by the Other
Borrower or an Event of Default with respect to the Other Borrower or Other Borrower Collateral,
(vi) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Debt, or any part thereof, (vii) sale or foreclosure
(or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of the Other Borrower Collateral, (viii)
protest, proof of non-payment or default by the Other Borrower
and (ix) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender, and, generally, all demands
and notices to the Other Borrower of every kind in connection with the Loan Documents, any
documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Debt.


 


- 72 -









 





(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, each Borrower
Entity hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates, prior to the payment
in full of the Loan and for a period of ninety-five (95) days thereafter any and all rights it may
now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including any law subrogating such
Borrower Entity to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution,
indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from any Other Borrower or any other party
liable for payment of any or all of the Debt for any payment made by such Borrower Entity under or
in connection with the Loan Documents or otherwise.



(d) Each Borrower Entity hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that
such Borrower Entity’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall not be released, diminished,
impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law,
equitable, statutory or other rights (including rights to notice) which such Borrower Entity might
otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following:




(i) Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration, restatement or
rearrangement entered into by any Other Borrower of all or any part of the Debt, the Note,
the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument, contract or
understanding between the Other Borrower and Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the
Debt or any failure of Lender to notify Borrower Entity of any such action.




(ii) Any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or
given by Lender to the Other Borrower.




(iii) The insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation,
disability, dissolution or lack of power of the Other Borrower or any other party at any
time liable for the payment of all or part of the Debt; or any dissolution of the Other
Borrower, or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of Borrower or of the
Other Borrower, or any changes in the shareholders, partners or members of the Other
Borrower; or any reorganization of the Other Borrower.




(iv) The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Debt, or
any document or agreement executed in connection with the Debt, for any reason whatsoever,
including the fact that (a) the Debt, or any part thereof, exceeds the amount permitted by
law, (b) the act of creating the Debt or any part thereof is ultra vires, (c) the officers
or representatives executing the Note, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or
otherwise creating the Debt acted in excess of their authority, (d) the Debt violate
applicable usury laws, (e) the Other Borrower has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether
at law, in equity or by agreement) which render the Debt wholly or partially uncollectible
from the Other


 


- 73 -









 






Borrower, (f) the creation, performance or repayment of the Debt (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or
instrument by the Other Borrower representing part of the Debt or executed in connection
with the Debt, or given to secure the repayment of the Debt) is illegal, uncollectible or
unenforceable, or (g) the Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents have
been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that
such Borrower Entity shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether the Other Borrower or
any other Person be found not liable on the Debt or any part thereof for any reason.




(v) Any full or partial release of the liability of the Other Borrower on the Debt, or
any part thereof, or of any guarantor(s) thereof, or any other person or entity now or
hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and
severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Debt, or any part
thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by such Borrower Entity that such
Borrower Entity may be required to pay the Debt in full without assistance or support of any
other party, and such Borrower Entity has not been induced to enter into the Loan Documents
on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other Persons will
be liable to pay or perform the Debt, or that Lender will look to other Persons to pay or
perform the Debt.




(vi) The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other
assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Debt.




(vii) Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or
impairment (including negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any
collateral, property or security at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or
securing payment of, all or any part of the Debt.




(viii) The failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable
care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of
Other Borrower Collateral, all or any part of such collateral, property or security,
including any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (a) to take or
prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Debt or (b) to foreclose, or initiate
any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose
upon Other Borrower Collateral, or (c) to take or prosecute any action in connection with
any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Debt.




(ix) The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or
intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Debt, or any
part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable
or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by
such Borrower Entity that such Borrower Entity is not entering into the Loan Documents in
reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability,
collectability or value of any of the collateral for the Debt.


 


- 74 -









 






(x) Any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense of Borrower against
Lender, or any other Person, or against payment of the Debt by any Other Borrower, whether
such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Debt (or the
transactions creating the Debt) or otherwise.




(xi) The reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Other Borrower into or with any
other corporation or entity.




(xii) Any payment by Borrower to Lender is held to constitute a preference under
bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such
amount to Borrower or someone else.



10.3 Other Actions Taken or Omitted. Any other action taken or omitted to be taken
with respect to the Loan Documents, the Debt, or Other Borrower Collateral, whether or not such
action or omission prejudices such Borrower Entity or increases the likelihood that such Borrower
Entity will be required to pay the Debt pursuant to the terms hereof, it is the unambiguous and
unequivocal intention of such Borrower Entity that such Borrower Entity shall be obligated to pay
the Debt when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission
whatsoever pertaining to any Other Borrower or any Other Borrower Collateral, whether contemplated
or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation
shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Debt.



10.4 Contribution Between Borrower Entities. Notwithstanding that Borrower Entities
are jointly and severally liable to Lender for payment of the Loan, as between the Borrower
Entities, each shall be liable for such Borrower Entity’s Allocated Amount (as hereinafter defined)
and, accordingly, each Borrower Entity whose assets are, from time to time, from time to time,
utilized to satisfy a portion of the Debt in excess of such Borrower Entity’s Allocated Amount,
shall be entitled, commencing ninety-five (95) days after payment in full of the Debt, to
contribution from the other Borrower Entities pro-rata in accordance with their respective
liabilities in accordance with this Agreement. The Allocated Amount for each Borrower Entity is
set forth on Schedule 7 attached hereto.
