ARTICLE II
LOAN


Section 2.1    Loan.  By and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lenders agree to lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lenders, the principal sum of up to One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($125,000,000), said sum to be evidenced by the Notes.  The Notes shall be secured, in part, by the Mortgage encumbering certain real property and improvements as legally defined therein.  Amounts disbursed to or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Notes shall be used for the purposes identified in the Recitals hereto.
Section 2.2    Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.
(a)    Interest Payments.  Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.3, on the first day of each month commencing with the first month after the Effective Date.
(b)    Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 2.2(e) below and the payment dates specified in Section 2.2(a), at Requisite Lenders’ discretion at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, shall bear interest payable upon demand at the Alternate Rate.  All other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, or if no time period is 





Loan No. 1013507


expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after demand, shall likewise, at the option of Requisite Lenders, bear interest from and after demand at the Alternate Rate.
(c)    Late Fee.  Borrower acknowledges that any late payment to Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement.  Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges.  Therefore, if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), unless waived by Administrative Agent, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and which is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment.  Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment.  Borrower and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient.  In the event the maturity of the Obligations hereunder occurs or is accelerated pursuant to Section 10.2, this Section shall apply only to payments overdue prior to the time of such acceleration.  Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent.
(d)    Computation of Interest.  Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time.  In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of a disbursement under the Loan shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.2, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
(e)    Effective Rate.  The “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, be one or more of the following:  
(i)    Provided no Default exists under this Agreement:
(A)    Initial Disbursement.  For the initial disbursement of principal under the Loan, the Effective Rate on such principal amount shall be the Calculated Interest Rate on the date of disbursement as determined by Administrative Agent.  Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the date immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month.  On the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month, any principal disbursed during the prior calendar month shall be added to (or become) the LIBO Rate Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under subsection (e)(i)(B) below.





Loan No. 1013507


(B)    Reset of Effective Rate.  Commencing with the first (1st) Business Day of the first (1st) calendar month after the initial disbursement of principal under the Loan, and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) Business Day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding LIBO Rate Portion under the Loan (i.e., all outstanding principal on such first (1st) Business Day) shall be reset to the Calculated Interest Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent on each such first (1st) Business Day.
(ii)    Default Rate.  Upon the occurrence and during the existence of a Default, the Effective Rate applicable to the Loan shall immediately and automatically, be the Variable Rate.  Borrower shall be responsible for any LIBO Rate Price Adjustment arising in connection therewith.  Further, the Loan may bear interest at the Alternate Rate subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(b) above.
(f)    Intentionally Omitted.  
(g)    Taxes, Regulatory Costs and Reserve Percentages.  Upon Administrative Agent’s demand, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, in addition to all other amounts which may be, or become, due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any and all Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) and Regulatory Costs, to the extent they are not internalized by calculation of an Effective Rate.  Further, at Administrative Agent’s option, the Effective Rate shall be automatically adjusted by adjusting the Reserve Percentage, as determined by Administrative Agent in its prudent banking judgment, from the date of imposition (or subsequent date selected by Administrative Agent) of any such Regulatory Costs.  Administrative Agent shall give Borrower notice of any such Taxes and Regulatory Costs as soon as practicable after their occurrence, but Borrower shall be liable for any Taxes and Regulatory Costs regardless of whether or when notice is so given.  A certificate as to the amount of such Taxes and Regulatory Costs submitted to Borrower by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(h)    LIBO Rate Price Adjustment.  Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or acceleration of a LIBO Rate Portion during a LIBO Rate Period shall result in Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities.  Therefore, on the date a LIBO Rate Portion is prepaid or the date all sums payable hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment Date”), Borrower will pay Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (in addition to all other sums then owing to Lenders) an amount (“LIBO Rate Price Adjustment”) equal to the then present value of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the LIBO Rate Portion for the remainder of the LIBO Rate Period at the Calculated Interest Rate set on the LIBO Rate Commencement Date, minus (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBO Rate Portion for the same period if the Calculated Interest Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date at the Calculated Interest Rate in effect on the Price Adjustment Date.  The present value shall be calculated by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, using as a discount rate determined by Administrative Agent in respect of the Calculated Interest Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.  Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.





Loan No. 1013507


By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lenders’ agreement to make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this agreement
Borrower Initials.    ___GJW____________  
(i)    Purchase, Sale and Matching of Funds.  Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (a) Lenders have no obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of a Calculated Interest Rate as a basis for calculating an Effective Rate or LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; (b) a Calculated Interest Rate is used merely as a reference in determining an Effective Rate and a LIBO Rate Price Adjustment; and (c) Borrower has accepted the Calculated Interest Rate as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating an Effective Rate and a LIBO Rate Price Adjustment.  Borrower further agrees to pay the LIBO Rate Price Adjustment, Taxes and Regulatory Costs, if any, whether or not any Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
Section 2.3    Payments.
(a)    Manner and Time of Payment.  All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be made without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 11:00 A.M. (Pacific) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. 
(b)    Payments on Non-Business Days.  Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be.
(c)    Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  
Section 2.4    Fees.





Loan No. 1013507


(a)    Closing Fee.  On the Effective Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, any fees agreed to be paid by Borrower in a writing signed by Borrower.
(b)    Extension Fee.  If Borrower exercises its right to extend the Maturity Date in accordance with Section 2.14, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a fee equal to one-fifth of one percent (0.20%) of the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan.

(a)    Optional.  On or before March 9, 2016 (the “Lockout Date”), the Loan may not be repaid, in whole or in part.  Subject to the payment of any LIBO Rate Price Adjustment under and as defined in Section 2.2(h), the Loan may be repaid in full or in part at any time after the Lockout Date, with no penalty, and any such amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed.  Borrower shall give Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of the Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Loan is accelerated on or before the Lockout Date as a result of a Default, then in addition to any other amounts due and owing hereunder, Borrower shall be required to pay to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders an acceleration fee in an amount equal to one percent (1%) of the then-outstanding principal balance of the Loan.  No prepayment or acceleration fee shall be payable with respect to any prepayment in connection with an application of any casualty or condemnation proceeds.
(b)    Mandatory. 
(i)    Minimum DSCR Hurdle.  On each DSCR Test Date, if there is a DSCR Failure (as determined based on Adjusted NOI for the twelve months ending on the applicable DSCR Test Date), then not later than fifteen (15) days following the day on which the relevant DSCR Certificate is required to be delivered under Section 9.2, Borrower shall either (i) pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, as a principal payment of the Loan the amount by which the outstanding principal balance of the Loan would be required to be reduced to cause the DSCR to equal the Minimum DSCR Hurdle (each, a “Remargin Payment”) or (ii) deliver to Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit in the amount of the Remargin Payment.  Borrower’s failure to timely make a Remargin Payment shall be a Default hereunder without the requirement of notice or right to cure.  No prepayment fee shall be due in connection with a Remargin Payment.

(ii)    Amortization.  If the term of the Loan is extended beyond the Original Maturity Date, then (A) commencing with the first day of the first month following the month in which the Original Maturity Date occurs, and continuing on the first day of each calendar quarter thereafter during the Extended Term, Borrower shall repay to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, $625,000 (per quarter) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan (the “Amortization Payments”).

(c)    Breakage Costs.  In connection with the prepayment of the Loan under this Section 2.7, in addition to any other amounts that might be due, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent any LIBO Rate Price Adjustment.

On or before the date hereof, Borrower shall enter into a Derivative Contract with an Acceptable Counterparty, with (a) a notional amount not less than the amount of the Loan; (b) a term expiring on the Original Maturity Date and (c) if in the form of an interest rate cap, a strike rate of not greater than three percent (3.00%).  In addition, Borrower may be required to obtain a Derivative Contract as a condition to Borrower’s right to exercise the Option to Extend (as more specifically described in Section 2.14).  If Borrower purchases a Derivative Contract from Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (i) Borrower shall, upon receipt from Administrative Agent, execute promptly all documents evidencing such transaction, including without limitation the ISDA Master Agreement, the Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement and the ISDA Confirmation, and (ii) if a swap, the interest of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, thereunder shall be secured by the Collateral pari passu with the Loan.  If Borrower purchases the Derivative Contract from any provider other than Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, such Derivative Contract shall not be secured by the Collateral in any manner whatsoever, and in either event, Borrower shall collaterally assign all of Borrower’s right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Derivative Contract to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to a separate Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement (in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent), and shall deliver to Administrative Agent executed counterparts of such Derivative Contract (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent and require that payments made to Borrower by the counterparty under such Derivative Contract be deposited directly into an account acceptable to Administrative Agent).

Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall permit the Property or any interest therein to be sold, transferred (including, without limitation, through sale or transfer (directly or indirectly) of the limited liability company interests of the Borrower), mortgaged, assigned, further encumbered or leased, whether directly or indirectly, whether voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the transfer of interests in Parent shall not be deemed to be a violation of the foregoing so long as such transfer does not constitute a Default under Section 10.1(h) below.
Section 8.32    Organization Documents.  Neither Borrower nor Operating Lessee shall amend, supplement, restate or otherwise modify in any material respect its charter, articles of incorporation or by-laws, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other organizational document without the prior written consent of Requisite Lenders (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless such amendment, supplement, restatement or other modification is (a) required under or as a result of the Internal Revenue Code or other Applicable Law or (b) required to maintain Parent’s status as a REIT.  Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any amendment, supplement, restatement or modification of the organizational documents of Borrower or Operating Lessee.

ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; INTERCREDITOR PROVISIONS


Section 11.1    Appointment and Authorization.  
(a)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the benefit of Lenders.  
(b)    Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders.  
(c)    Nothing herein shall be construed to deem Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 10.   The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to Administrative 





Loan No. 1013507


Agent by Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.  
(e)    As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Requirements of Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Potential Default or Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed Administrative Agent otherwise.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all Lenders.
Section 11.2    Wells Fargo as Lender.  
Wells Fargo, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity.  Wells Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.  Further, Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower, an Other Loan Party, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
Section 11.3    Defaulting Lenders.  If for any reason any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of 





Loan No. 1013507


Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Portion shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held uninvested by Administrative Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.  The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs, and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, or (b) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments.  In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Alternate Rate, which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
Section 11.4    Distribution and Apportionment of Payments; Defaulting Lenders.  
(a)    Subject to Section 11.4(b) below, payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of (i) the Federal Funds Rate and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders.  All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender.  Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive, provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.  The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this 





Loan No. 1013507


Agreement, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person.  All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
(b)    Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Loan disbursements which was previously a Non-Pro Rata Advance, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”).  All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full.  This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to a Defaulting Lender for payments Borrower has made to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether a Default occurs, and notwithstanding (a) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (b) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (c) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders.  Administrative Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (ii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Alternate Rate as set forth in the Notes, which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(c)    If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, then Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loan of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loan to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Amounts, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees paid or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise 





Loan No. 1013507


expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
Section 11.5    Pro Rata Treatment.  
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:  (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from Lenders, each payment of the fees shall be made for the account of Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account  of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
Section 11.6    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  
Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan of the payments on account of such obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery.  Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 11.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
Section 11.7    Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.  





Loan No. 1013507


(a)    Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to a Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
(b)    The Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide).  Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c)    Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of the Lenders and that Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e)    The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to the Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to the Property; and (iii) $500,000.00.  Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for the Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)    Each Lender agrees that it will not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of Requisite Lenders.
Section 11.8    Post-Foreclosure Plans.  If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders.  In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral.  Actions taken by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan.  Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral.  In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan.  To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders.  All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable.  The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most 





Loan No. 1013507


advantageous to Lenders.  Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as agent for Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee.  In such case, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder (however taking into account the pari passu interest of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates arising under any Derivative Agreement), which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable. 
Section 11.9    Approvals of Lenders.  All communications from Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.  Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
Section 11.10    Notice of Defaults.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Potential Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Potential Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”.  If any Lender (excluding Lender which is also serving as Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Potential Default, it shall promptly send to Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”.  Further, if Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders.
Section 11.11    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, 





Loan No. 1013507


officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 11.12    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to Administrative Agent) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of 





Loan No. 1013507


the parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders arising under any Hazardous Materials Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by Lenders on the request of Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent will reimburse Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this Agreement.  If Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
Section 11.13    Lender Credit Decision, Etc.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of Borrower, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, Borrower, any other Loan Party.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or 





Loan No. 1013507


any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates.  Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
Section 11.14    Successor Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents by giving written notice thereof to Lenders and Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Potential Default exists, be subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent).  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.  After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 11. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.
Section 11.15    No Set-Offs.  Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrower, whether or not located in Florida, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan.  Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrower or any of its affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.
Section 11.16    Taxes.
(a)    Terms.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or other applicable Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall 





Loan No. 1013507


timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)    Indemnification by Borrower.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.12 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subsection.
(f)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(g)    Status of Lenders.





Loan No. 1013507

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable.

	(2)
	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;







Loan No. 1013507

	(4)
	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W‐8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H‐3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


(iii)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the 





Loan No. 1013507


amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 11.16 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 11.16, it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Agreement and the Loan as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
(j)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 11.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

All notices, demands or other communications shall be considered as properly given if delivered personally or sent by first class United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid, except that notice of Default may be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Overnight Express Mail or by overnight commercial courier service, 





Loan No. 1013507


charges prepaid.  Notices so sent shall be effective three (3) days after mailing, if mailed by first class mail, and otherwise upon receipt; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.
Section 12.5    Attorney-in-Fact.  Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney‐in‐fact, following a Default, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Administrative Agent’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Administrative Agent deems appropriate to protect Lenders’ interest under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 12.6    Actions.  Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent, in exercising the rights, duties or liabilities of Administrative Agent, Lenders, or Borrower under the Loan Documents, may, following a Default, commence, appear in or defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Property, or the Loan Documents and Borrower shall immediately reimburse Administrative Agent upon demand for all such expenses so incurred or paid by Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and court costs.
Section 12.7    Right of Contest.  Borrower may contest in good faith any claim, demand, levy or assessment by any Person other than Administrative Agent or Lenders which would constitute a Default if:  (a) Borrower pursues the contest diligently, in a manner which Administrative Agent determines is not prejudicial to Administrative Agent or any Lender, and does not impair the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents; and (b) Borrower deposits with Administrative Agent any funds or other forms of assurance which Administrative Agent in good faith determines from time to time appropriate to protect Administrative Agent and each Lender from the consequences of the contest being unsuccessful.  Borrower’s strict compliance with this Section shall operate to prevent such claim, demand, levy or assessment from becoming a Default.
Section 12.8    Relationship of Parties.  The relationship of Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders under the Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Administrative Agent and Lenders neither undertakes nor assume any responsibility or duty to either Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 12.9    Delay Outside Lender’s Control.  No Lender or Administrative Agent shall be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent or any Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any governmental or local authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock‐out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s control.





Loan No. 1013507


Section 12.10    Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses; Enforcement.  If any attorney is engaged by Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Default under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy proceeding of Borrower, then Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon demand, the amount of all attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Note as specified therein.
Section 12.11    Amendments and Waivers.  
(a)    Generally.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document to be given by Lenders may be given, (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document  may be amended, (iii) the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived, and (iv) the continuance of any Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party which is party thereto.  Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided in Section 2.2(c), up to a maximum of three (3) times per calendar year.
(b)    Unanimous Consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of Lenders (or Administrative Agent at the written direction of Lenders), do any of the following:
(i)    increase the Commitments of Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 12.12) or subject Lenders to any additional obligations;
(ii)    reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, the Loan;
(iii)    except for waivers permitted under Section 12.11(a), reduce the amount of any fees payable to Lenders hereunder;
(iv)    except for waivers permitted under Section 12.11(a), postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan (including, without limitation, the Maturity Date) or for the payment of fees or any other obligations of Borrower or Guarantor;
(v)    change the Pro Rata Shares (excluding any change as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 12.12);





Loan No. 1013507


(vi)    amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section;
(vii)    modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof;
(viii)    release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty;
(ix)    waive a Default under Section 10.1(a); or
(x)    release or dispose of any Collateral unless released or disposed of as permitted by, and in accordance with, Section 11.7, or as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement. 
(c)    Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc.  No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.  No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.  No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  Any Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default is waived in writing by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 12.12    Successors and Assigns.  
(a)    Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of Lenders have not consented shall be void).  
(b)    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitment or the obligations owing to such Lender hereunder.  No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations 





Loan No. 1013507


under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or a portion thereof owing to such Lender, (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, (iv) release all or substantially all of the Collateral without replacement thereof other than as permitted in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, or (v) changes to the definition of Minimum DSCR Hurdle and/or Requisite Lenders, each as set forth in this Agreement.  An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (e) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b).  
(c)    Assignments.  Any Lender may with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consent, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Note; provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be required (x) if a Default or Potential Default shall exist or (y) in the case of an assignment to another Lender or an affiliate of another Lender; (ii) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000.00 and after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds a Note having an outstanding principal balance, of at least $10,000,000.00, and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.  Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangement so the new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.  In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $4,500.00.  Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, or any of its respective Affiliates or subsidiaries.
(d)    Tax Withholding.  At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, shall furnish Administrative Agent and Borrower with a properly completed executed copy of either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) and either Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) as is necessary to claim complete exemption from 





Loan No. 1013507


United States withholding taxes on all payments hereunder.  At all times each Lender shall own or beneficially own a Note, such Lender shall (i) promptly provide to Administrative Agent and Borrower a new Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (as applicable) and Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 and any additional form (or such other form) (or any successor form or forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable statements in accordance with applicable United States laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and completed by such Lender, and (ii) comply at all times with all applicable United States laws and regulations, including all provisions of any applicable tax treaty, with regard to any withholding tax exemption claimed with respect to any payments on the Loan.  If any Lender cannot deliver such form, then Borrower may withhold from payments due under the Loan Documents such amounts as Borrower is able to determine from accurate information provided by such Lender are required by the Internal Revenue Code.
(e)    Federal Reserve Bank Assignments.  In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of the Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligation thereunder. 
(f)    Information to Assignee, Etc.  A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any subsidiary or any other Loan Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) but shall advise them that any such information that is not publicly available is confidential.  In connection with such negotiation, execution and delivery, Borrower authorizes Administrative Agent and Lenders to communicate all information and documentation related to the Loan (whether to Borrower or to any Participant, Assignee, legal counsel, appraiser or other necessary party) directly by e-mail, fax, or other electronic means used to transmit information.
(g)    Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except Borrower except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.





Loan No. 1013507


(h)    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  In order for Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.”
Section 12.13    Capital Adequacy; Additional Costs.
(a)    Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or corporation with regard to capital), then Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.
(b)    Additional Costs.  In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans or hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income of such Lender or of its Lending Office for any of such LIBOR Loans by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Lending Office), or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without 





Loan No. 1013507


limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder) or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).
(c)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in  this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or continue, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 12.13(g) shall apply). 
(d)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of Administrative Agent,  each Lender, and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Effective Date entitling Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.  Administrative Agent, each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to Borrower (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant to Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section.  Determinations by Administrative Agent, such Lender, or such Participant, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
(e)    Suspension of Libor Loans.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any LIBO Rate Period:
(i)    Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBO Rate, or
(ii)    Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such LIBO Rate Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such LIBO Rate Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and 





Loan No. 1013507


shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, or continue LIBOR Loans and Borrower shall, on the last day of each current LIBO Rate Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or convert such Loan into a Variable Rate Loan.
(f)    Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder,  then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or continue, or to convert Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 12.13(g) shall be applicable).
(g)    Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 12.13(c), Section 12.13(e), or Section 12.13(f) then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically converted into Variable Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current LIBO Rate Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a conversion required by Section 12.13(c), Section 12.13(e), or Section 12.13(f) on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 12.13 that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Variable Rate Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued instead as Variable Rate Loans, and all Variable Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Variable Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 12.13(c) or 12.13(f) that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Variable Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding LIBO Rate Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts and LIBO Rate Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(h)    Change of Lending Office.  Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Sections 2.6.(g), 12.13(a) through (e) or 12.13(g) to reduce the liability of Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as 





Loan No. 1013507


determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
(i)    Assumptions Concerning Funding LIBOR Loans.  Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 12.13 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant LIBO Rate Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.
(j)    Affected Lenders.  If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to this Section 12.13, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to subsection (c) above, but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such subsection, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment and outstanding portion of the Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.12 for a purchase price equal to (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender, plus (y) any accrued but unpaid interest and fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee.  Each of Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender nor any Titled Agent be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.  The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any period up to the date of replacement..  
Section 12.14    Lender’s Agents.  Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents.  Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors.  Borrower shall pay the costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to Administrative Agent or such Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable.
Section 12.15    Tax Service.  Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor which shall provide tax information on the Property and Improvements satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
Section 12.16    Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY THEN-APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF 





Loan No. 1013507


ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE MODIFICATION THEREOF OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR OTHER RELATED DOCUMENTS  (AS NOW OR HEREAFTER MODIFIED) OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION IS NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHT THEY MIGHT OTHERWISE HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY.
Section 12.17    Severability.  If any provision or obligation under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall remain in full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been a part of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, provided, however, that if the rate of interest or any other amount payable under the Notes or this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the right of collectability therefor, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or unenforceable, Lenders’ obligations to make advances under the Loan Documents shall not be enforceable by Borrower.
Section 12.18    Time.  Time is of the essence of each and every term of this Agreement.
Section 12.19    Headings.  All article, section or other headings appearing in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are for convenience of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents.
Section 12.20    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except to the extent preempted by federal laws.  Borrower and all persons and entities in any manner obligated to Lender under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents consent to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court located in New York, New York, or the State of Florida having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by New York, Florida or federal law.

(a)    Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents may be delivered by electronic communication and delivery, including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as www.Edgar.com <http://www.Edgar.com> or a website sponsored or hosted by Administrative Agent or the Borrower) provided that (A) the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II or any notices to Borrower and (B) Lender has not notified the Administrative Agent or Borrower that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications.  Administrative Agent or Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications.  Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be deemed to have been delivered twenty-four (24) hours after the date and time on which Administrative Agent or Borrower posts such documents or the documents become available on a commercial website and Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or posted during the normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be deemed to have commenced as of  9:00 a.m. on the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of the certificate required by Section 9.2 to Administrative Agent and shall deliver paper copies of any documents to Administrative Agent or to any Lender that requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by Administrative Agent or such Lender.  Except for the certificates required by Section 9.2, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by Borrower with any such request for delivery.

(b)    Documents required to be delivered pursuant to Article II may be delivered electronically to a website provided for such purpose by Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures provided to Borrower by Administrative Agent. 
Section 12.25    Public/Private Information.  Borrower and Operating Lessee shall cooperate, with Administrative Agent in connection with the publication of certain materials and/or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or the other Loan Parties.  Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered by or on behalf of Borrower or the other Loan Parties to Administrative Agent and Lenders (collectively, “Information Materials”) pursuant to this Article and shall designate Information Materials (a) that are either available to the public or not material with respect to Borrower, the other Loan Parties or any of their respective securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws, as “Public Information” and (b) that are not Public Information as “Private Information”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any information regarding the Guarantor that is not publicly available will be deemed “Private Information”, whether or not designated as such by Borrower or Guarantor.  Administrative Agent shall not disseminate to the public, and will advise Lenders not to disseminate to the public (including in connection with a syndication described in Section 12.27) any Information Materials that are designated as “Private Information” or deemed “Private Information” hereunder.  The foregoing shall not, however, limit Administrative Agent’s ability to share any “Private Information” with any Lenders, Participants, potential Lenders or potential Participants.
Section 12.26    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution.  Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as Administrative Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and Borrower shall provide to such Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law.  An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.
Section 12.27    Syndication Cooperation.  Administrative Agent and Lenders, shall have the unfettered right to sell, assign, transfer, encumber, pledge or otherwise dispose of, participate or syndicate the Loan, in whole or in part either contemporaneously with the closing thereof or thereafter. In addition, Administrative Agent and Lenders may sell or syndicate all or a portion of the Loan by certificates, participations, securities or pari passu notes evidencing whole or component interests therein, through one or more public or private offerings, including, without limitation, a “syndication,” but not a “securitization.”  Borrower and Guarantor shall cooperate with Administrative Agent, Lenders, and their affiliates with any such transaction by, without limitation, cooperating with the following upon request, either before or after closing as applicable: (a) separating the Loan into two or more separate notes and/or participation interests including, but not limited to, separate senior and junior notes, participations or components. Such notes or components may be assigned different interest rates, so long as the initial weighted average of such interest rates equals the Effective Rate as of the closing of the Loan. Partial prepayments of principal may cause 





Loan No. 1013507


the weighted average Effective Rate to change over time due to the non pro-rata allocation of such prepayments between any such separate notes, participations or components; (b) obtaining ratings from two or more rating agencies; (c) making or causing to be made non-material changes or modifications to the Loan documentation, organizational documentation, opinion letters and other documentation; (d) reviewing and assisting in the preparation of offering materials (including a confidential information memorandum) relating to the Collateral Property, Borrower, Guarantor, and the Loan and making with regard to such offering materials certain indemnifications, representations and warranties (including a standard Rule 10b-5 representation and warranty) in both a customary authorization to distribute (to be signed by Borrower) and the Loan Documents; and (f) delivering updated information on Borrower, Guarantor, and the Property. 
Section 12.28    Operating Lessee – No Liability.  Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby acknowledges that Operating Lessee is not liable for the indebtedness evidenced by the Note.
Section 12.29    Assignment of Loan Documents.  At Borrower's request, upon (a) Borrower's repayment of the Obligations in full, whether by prepayment or otherwise and (b) payment by Borrower of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ counsel fees, disbursements and other costs, if any, and provided Borrower (i) refinances the Loan through any institution other than Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or (ii) sells the Property, and an institution other than Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is involved in the financing of such sale, Administrative Agent will endeavor to cause Lenders to deliver to Borrower or Borrower's designee an assignment of each Note (or an affidavit of lost note, as applicable), the Mortgage, this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, without recourse, representation or warranty, duly endorsed by Administrative Agent or Lenders, as applicable, to Borrower's designee, in recordable form as appropriate, as well as all appropriate UCC termination statements and the release and termination of all other security for the Loan.  Borrower shall pay all of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.  In addition thereto, in the event of a partial reconveyance, Administrative Agent agrees to endeavor to cause Lenders to enter into such reasonable and customary severance arrangements to accomplish the foregoing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in no event will Administrative Agent or Lenders be required to comply with the foregoing if such compliance would reasonably be expected to (a) result in any loss or liability to Administrative Agent or Lenders, (b) impair Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ rights or remedies under the Loan Documents or (c) adversely affect the liens contemplated by the Loan Documents, if and to the extent that such liens will remain in existence following the assignment(s) contemplated above.
