Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Interest Rate shall become effective.  Each determination by Lender of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(iii)In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall, if such determination shall have also been made with respect to other similarly situated loans, forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period.  If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Accrual Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.


- 33 -







(iv)If, pursuant to the terms hereof, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) Business Day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period.

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 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  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 2.5(b)(v)) the applicable recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.5(b)(v) shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

- 34 -







compensate Lender for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder.

(A)shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital adequacy, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;
(B)shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; 
(C)shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Taxes) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder; or 
(D)shall subject Lender to any Taxes (other than (I) Indemnified Taxes, (II) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes, and (III) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(ix)Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this subsection for any Indemnified Taxes, Breakage Costs, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than one hundred and eighty (180) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law, the circumstance resulting in the Breakage Costs or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender, as applicable, under this subsection, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment to the extent that such Lender would also require its other borrowers under similarly situated loans in Lender’s particular portfolio (where the Loan is held) to pay for such designation or assignment.

(xiii)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 2.5(b) (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)), 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 2.5(b) 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 Section 2.5(b)(xiii) (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 Section 2.5(b)(xiii) in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.5(b)(xiii) 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 Section 2.5(b)(xiii) 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.

(d)    Interest Calculation.  Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.  The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period in which the related Monthly Payment Date occurs; provided, however, in the event a Securitization has not occurred, the accrual period for calculating interest due on the last Monthly Payment Date shall end on the scheduled Maturity Date.  Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month 


- 39 -







and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.
(e)    Usury Savings.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan (including, to the extent applicable, any Prepayment Premium and/or penalty) at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate.  If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder (including, to the extent applicable, any Prepayment Premium and/or penalty) at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, and/or, to the extent applicable, any Prepayment Premium and/or penalty shall, in each case, be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan (including, to the extent applicable, any Prepayment Premium and/or penalty) does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.6    Loan Payments.
(a)    Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from (and including) the Closing Date through (and including) the fourteenth (14th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or before the fourteenth (14th) day of such month, or (ii) the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if the Closing Date occurs on or after the fifteenth (15th) day of the then current calendar month; provided, however, if the Closing Date is the fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month, no such separate payment of interest shall be due.  Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the First Monthly Payment Date and on each Monthly Payment Date occurring thereafter to and including the Maturity Date.  Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal.  The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to Note A-1 and Note A-2 on a pari passu basis.
(b)    Reserved.
(c)    Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and after a Securitization, including, without limitation, the Interest Shortfall).
(d)    If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five 


- 40 -







percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e)    
(i)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii)    Intentionally Omitted.
(iii)    Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(iv)    All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
(f)    In the event Borrower is required to pay Lender compensation for any Indemnified Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(v), (vi) or (vii), then Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(v), (vi) or (vii), as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
Section 2.7    Prepayments.
(a)    Voluntary Prepayment.  Except as provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part.  Borrower may at its option and upon prior notice to Lender as set forth herein, prepay the Debt in whole or in part on any Business Day (a “Prepayment Date”); provided that such prepayment is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs, the Prepayment Premium (if applicable) and the applicable Interest Shortfall.  Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment unless it is accompanied by payment of the Breakage Costs, the Prepayment Premium (if applicable) and the applicable Interest Shortfall due in connection therewith.  As a condition to any voluntary prepayment, Borrower shall give Lender written notice (a “Prepayment Notice”) of its intent to prepay, which notice must be given at least ten (10) Business Days and not more than ninety (90) days prior to the Prepayment 


- 41 -







Date and must specify such proposed Prepayment Date.  A Prepayment Notice given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(a) may be revoked by written notice of revocation delivered to Lender no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Prepayment Date specified in any such Prepayment Notice; provided that in connection with such revocation Borrower shall pay Lender all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs or similar expenses incurred in connection with such anticipated prepayment. Concurrently with any voluntary prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(a), (i) a simultaneous pro-rata prepayment of the Mezzanine B Loan shall be made and Borrower shall provide Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such prepayment of the Mezzanine B Loan and (ii) a simultaneous pro-rata prepayment of the Mortgage Loan shall be made and Borrower shall provide Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of such prepayment of the Mortgage Loan.
(b)    Mandatory Prepayment.  In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of the Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, (iii) a transfer of the Property in connection with the enforcement of remedies under the Mortgage Loan Documents after the occurrence of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default, including, without limitation, a foreclosure sale or public auction, or any Sale or Pledge of all or any portion of the Property that is prohibited by this Agreement, (iv) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan or any payoff of the Mortgage Loan, or (v) the receipt by Mortgage Borrower of any excess proceeds realized under its owner’s title insurance policy after application of such proceeds by Mortgage Borrower to cure any title defect (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be remitted to Lender (or as directed by Lender) directly (or, if such direct remittance is not commercially practicable, paid to Lender (or as directed by Lender) promptly, but in no event later than within two (2) Business Days after receipt thereof).  On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, and if Lender does not make such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service available to Borrower for Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Borrower shall apply any such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service actually received by Borrower or Lender to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service (with s portion thereof being applied to any applicable Interest Shortfall).  Any amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid to Borrower.  Once Borrower has knowledge that a Liquidation Event has occurred, Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, promptly deliver written notice of such Liquidation Event to Lender.  Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i)(x) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of all or any portion of the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into and (y) a foreclosure sale on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given and (ii) a refinancing of all or any portion of the Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into.  The provisions of this Section 2.7(b) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or the Sale or Pledge of the Property set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(c)    Prepayments After Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any prepayment of the Debt during the continuance of an 


- 42 -







Event of Default shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as set forth in Section 10.2(g) hereof or as Lender shall otherwise determine in their sole discretion.
(d)    Prepayment of Mortgage Loan and Mezzanine B Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall Borrower cause or permit the Mortgage Borrower to (i) voluntarily prepay the Mortgage Loan unless the Debt is contemporaneously prepaid ratably in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement or (ii) refinance the Mortgage Loan, unless it obtains the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that Lender’s consent shall not be required if the Loan shall be simultaneously refinanced or simultaneously repaid in full in accordance with the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall the Mezzanine B Loan be voluntarily prepaid unless the Debt is contemporaneously prepaid ratably in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Any prepayment of the Mortgage Loan or the Mezzanine B Loan other than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7(d) shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an Event of Default.
(e)    Pari Passu.  Any prepayments received under this Section 2.7 or under any term or provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be applied to Note A-1 and Note A-2 on a pari passu basis.
Section 2.8    Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
(a)    Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike rate equal to the Strike Rate.  The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall, subject to Sections 2.8(c) and 2.8(e) below, at all times be with a Counterparty, (iii) shall at all times be for a duration at least equal to the end of the Interest Accrual Period in which the then current Maturity Date occurs, and (iv) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the Outstanding Principal Balance and shall at all times provide for the applicable LIBOR strike rate to be equal to the Strike Rate.  Borrower shall direct such Counterparty to deposit directly into an account designated by Lender in writing any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Collateral is transferred by foreclosure or assignment in lieu thereof.  Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), including, without limitation, its right to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and any replacements thereof), and Borrower shall, and shall cause Counterparty to, deliver to Lender a fully executed  Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into an account designated by Lender in writing).
(b)    Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited promptly into 


- 43 -







an account designated by Lender in writing.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c)    In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty (other than a Counterparty that is an Affiliate of Lender) by any Rating Agency below the Minimum Counterparty Rating, Borrower shall (i) replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (and meeting the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8) (a “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement”) from a Counterparty having a Minimum Counterparty Rating or (ii) if provided for in such Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the Counterparty to deliver collateral to secure Borrower’s exposure under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in such amount and pursuant to such terms as are reasonably acceptable to Lender.
(d)    In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
(e)    Each Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall contain the following language or its equivalent:  “In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty below (A) a long term rating of “A-” by S&P or (B) a long term rating of “A3” by Moody’s, the Counterparty must, within ten (10) business days, (x) post collateral on terms acceptable to each Rating Agency, Lender and Borrower, (y) find a replacement Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency, Lender and Borrower; provided that, notwithstanding such a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, unless and until the Counterparty transfers the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to a replacement Counterparty pursuant to the foregoing clause (y), the Counterparty will continue to perform its obligations under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, or (z) deliver a guaranty (or replacement guaranty, as applicable) of the Counterparty’s obligations from a Counterparty having a Minimum Counterparty Rating in form and substance acceptable to Lender and each Rating Agency.  Failure to satisfy the foregoing shall constitute an “Additional Termination Event” as defined by Section 5(b)(v) of the ISDA Master Agreement, with the Counterparty as the “Affected Party.” In the event that a Counterparty is required pursuant to the terms of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement to (i) deliver collateral as specified in the applicable Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) find a replacement Counterparty or (iii) deliver a guaranty (or replacement guaranty, as applicable), Borrower covenants and agrees that Borrower shall seek Lender’s approval with respect thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Borrower receives Lender’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and shall, in its reasonable discretion, approve or consent to the foregoing upon receipt of Lender’s prior written approval.
(f)    With respect to each Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion (upon 


- 44 -







which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) from counsel (which counsel may be in house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (other than a Counterparty that is an Affiliate of Lender) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i)    the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii)    the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii)    all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv)    the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
Section 2.9    Extension of the Maturity Date.  Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date for three (3) successive terms (the “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each (each, an “Extension Period”) to (i) April 9, 2020 if the first Extension Option is exercised, (ii) April 9, 2021 if the second Extension Option is exercised, and (iii) April 9, 2022 if the third Extension Option is exercised (each such date, the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:
(a)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date that the applicable Extension Period is commenced;
(b)    Borrower shall notify Lender of its election to extend the applicable Maturity Date as aforesaid not earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days prior to the applicable Maturity Date; provided, however, that Borrower shall be permitted to revoke such notice at any time up to thirty (30) days before the applicable Maturity Date provided that 


- 45 -







Borrower pays to Lender all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such notice, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs;
(c)    Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender prior to the date that the applicable Extension Period is commenced, a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be effective commencing on the first day of the related Extension Period and shall have a maturity date not earlier than the last day of the Interest Accrual Period in which the related Extended Maturity Date shall occur;
(d)    Borrower shall have paid to Lender all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with Borrower exercising the applicable Extension Option;
(e)    in connection with the second Extension Option, the Debt Yield shall not be less than 6.10% on the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the date that the second Extension Period is commenced;
(f)    in connection with the third Extension Option, the Debt Yield shall not be less than 6.25% on the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the date that the third Extension Period is commenced;
(g)    in connection with the third Extension Option, the Borrower shall have paid to Lender on the date the third Extension Period is commenced an extension fee in an amount equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance; 
(h)    in connection with the third Extension Option, Lender shall have determined that the lien free completion of the Permitted Alterations in accordance with Section 4.21 hereof and Section 4.21 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, to the extent such construction previously commenced, shall have occurred (subject to any extension due to Force Majeure) prior to the date that the third Extension Period is commenced;
(i)    in connection with (A) the second Extension Option, but only in the event the Debt Yield is less than 6.50% as of the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the date that the second Extension Period is commenced, or (B) the third Extension Option (and, for the avoidance of doubt, only if not previously delivered in connection with the second Extension Option), if required by Lender, Borrower shall either (selection of which option shall be at Borrower’s election) (x) post a cash deposit with Lender or (y) provide a payment guaranty from Guarantor (which guaranty shall be substantially in the form of the Unfunded Obligations Guaranty and with a “Remaining Unfunded Obligation” concept modified, mutatis mutandis, to apply to the guaranteed sums) guaranteeing funding of, an amount equal to the sum of all (1) unfunded obligations for tenant improvements and leasing commissions and (2) free rent and operating expense reimbursement credits, but only to the extent that such unfunded obligations, free rent and reimbursement credits (i) relate to Leases which were in effect as of the Closing Date and (ii) occur or would remain outstanding after the third Extended Maturity Date.  Such guaranty will include appropriate provisions, if applicable, to recognize that if a payment is made with respect to a guaranty of the same obligations delivered to Mortgage Lender and/or Mezzanine B Lender, such payment will be given appropriate credit under such guaranty given for the benefit of Lender.  If Borrower elects the foregoing option (x) then any funds posted with 


- 46 -







Lender to cover the obligations described in either the foregoing clause (1) or (2) shall be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan until such time as the Debt has been paid in full.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to post a cash deposit or provide a payment guaranty as set forth in subclauses (x) and (y) above if Mortgage Borrower posts the cash deposit described in Section 2.9(i) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement with Mortgage Lender and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Lender evidence thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Mortgage Borrower elects to provide to Mortgage Lender the guaranty described in Section 2.9(i) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall be required to post a cash deposit with Lender or provide a payment guaranty to Lender as set forth in subclauses (x) and (y) above;
(j)    in connection with the third Extension Option, if on the date that third Extension Period is commenced Wells Fargo fails to be in actual, physical possession of substantially all (i.e., 90% or more) of its then current Specified Tenant Space (it being understood that the Specified Tenant Space occupied by Wells Fargo as of the Closing Date may be reduced in connection with the Wells Fargo’s exercise of the contraction option contained in the Wells Fargo’s Specified Tenant Lease) and/or ceases to operate its business in substantially all (i.e., 90% or more) of its then current Specified Tenant Space, Borrower shall either (selection of which option shall be at Borrower’s election) (x) post a cash deposit with Lender or (y) provide a payment guaranty from Guarantor guaranteeing payment of an amount equal to the Specified Tenant Trigger Cap (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) (which guaranty shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender) (the “Occupancy Guaranty”) (it being understood that such Occupancy Guaranty will (A) terminate if substantially all (i.e., 90% or more) of such space  is leased to a replacement tenant in accordance with the terms hereof and (B) reduce, pro rata, based on any of the Wells Fargo space that is actually re-leased in accordance with the terms hereof).  Such guaranty will include appropriate provisions, if applicable, to recognize that if a payment is made with respect to a guaranty of the same obligations delivered to Mortgage Lender and/or Mezzanine B Lender, such payment will be given appropriate credit under such guaranty given for the benefit of Lender.  If Borrower elects the foregoing option (x) then any funds posted with Lender shall be held by Lender as additional collateral for the Loan until such time as the Debt has been paid in full; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the events in either the foregoing clauses (A) or (B), such funds shall be returned to Borrower, either in whole or in part (on pro rata basis as set forth in clause (B) above), as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to post a cash deposit or provide the Occupancy Guaranty as set forth in subclauses (x) and (y) above if Mortgage Borrower posts the cash deposit described in Section 2.9(j) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement with Mortgage Lender and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Lender evidence thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Mortgage Borrower elects to provide to Mortgage Lender the guaranty described in Section 2.9(j) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall be required to post a cash deposit with Lender or provide the Occupancy Guaranty to Lender as set forth in subclauses (x) and (y) above. 
(k)    (A) in the event GDC fails to extend or renew the GDC’s Specified Tenant Lease in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions thereof and hereof prior to the date that the second Extension Period is commenced, then in connection with the second Extension Option, Borrower shall either (selection of which option shall be at Borrower’s election) (x) post a cash deposit with Lender or (y) provide a payment guaranty from Guarantor guaranteeing 


- 47 -







payment, in either case, in an amount equal to $37.50 per square foot of the GDC’s Specified Tenant Space not re-leased by a replacement tenant or GDC in accordance with the terms hereof (which guaranty shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender) (the “GDC Guaranty”) and (B) in the event GDC fails to extend or renew the GDC’s Specified Tenant Lease in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions thereof and hereof prior to the date that the third Extension Period is commenced, in connection with the third Extension Option, Borrower shall either (selection of which option shall be at Borrower’s election) (x) post a cash deposit with Lender or (y) provide a payment guaranty from Guarantor guaranteeing payment, in either case, in an amount equal to $37.50 per square foot of the GDC’s Specified Tenant Space not re-leased by a replacement tenant or GDC in accordance with the terms hereof (which guaranty shall be in form and substance acceptable to Lender) (the “Additional GDC Guaranty”) (for the avoidance of doubt, any amounts guaranteed by the Additional GDC Guaranty shall be in addition (but without duplication) to the amounts guaranteed by the GDC Guaranty).  Each of the GDC Guaranty and the Additional GDC Guaranty shall, by their terms, reduce by an amount equal to $37.50 times the number of square feet of the GDC’s Specified Tenant Space re-leased in accordance with the terms hereof  to a replacement tenant or to GDC subsequent to the date of the GDC Guaranty and the Additional GDC Guaranty, as applicable.  Each of the GDC Guaranty and the Additional GDC Guaranty will include appropriate provisions, if applicable, to recognize that if a payment is made with respect to a guaranty of the same obligations to Mortgage Lender and/or Mezzanine B Lender, such payment will be given appropriate credit under such guaranty given for the benefit of Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (I) Borrower shall not be required to post a cash deposit or provide the GDC Guaranty as set forth in the subsection (k)(A) above if Mortgage Borrower posts the cash deposits described in Section 2.9(k)(A) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement with Mortgage Lender and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Lender evidence thereof and (II) Borrower shall not be required to post a cash deposit or provide the Additional GDC Guaranty as set forth in the subsection (k)(B) above if Mortgage Borrower posts the cash deposits described in Section 2.9(k)(B) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement with Mortgage Lender and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Lender evidence thereof.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Mortgage Borrower elects to provide to Mortgage Lender the guaranties described in Section 2.9(k) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall be required to post cash deposits with Lender or provide the GDC Guaranty or Additional GDC Guaranty, as applicable, to Lender as set forth in as set forth in this subsection (k); and
(l)    Borrower shall have delivered to Lender evidence that each of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan has been extended or shall be concurrently extended through a date not earlier than the applicable Extended Maturity Date.
All references in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents to the Maturity Date shall mean the Extended Maturity Date in the event the applicable Extension Option is exercised.
Section 2.10    Partial Release.
Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (other than a non-monetary Event of Default that affects or is otherwise related solely to the Atrium Parcel and which Event of Default will no longer continue to exist upon such release of the Atrium Parcel), Borrower shall have the right at any time prior to the Maturity Date permit Mortgage Borrower 


- 48 -







to obtain the release (the “Partial Release”) of the Atrium Parcel from the lien of the Security Instrument thereon (and related Mortgage Loan Documents), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:

(iv)    Borrower shall have delivered evidence that would be reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, immediately after giving effect to the release of the Atrium Parcel, the portion of the Property remaining encumbered by the Security Instrument (the “Remaining Property”) shall (A) not, as a result of such release, fail to comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, all applicable zoning and building laws, rules, ordinances and regulations, (B) be legally subdivided and (C) constitute one or more separate tax lots; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Lender shall be deemed to have approved the requirements of this subclause (iv) if Mortgage Lender approves the requirements set forth in Section 2.10(iv) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement;
(v)    Borrower shall have delivered evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Mortgage Borrower has entered into a reciprocal easement agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) with the owner of the Atrium Parcel (the “Atrium REA”), which Atrium REA shall provide for easements, cross-easements and mutual or non-exclusive easements for ingress, egress, access, pedestrian walkways, parking, traffic flow, drainage, utilities and services shared by the Atrium Parcel and the Remaining Property, in each case, as deemed reasonably necessary by Lender; provided that Lender shall reasonably approve the Atrium REA upon satisfaction of certain conditions to be mutually agreed upon by Lender and Borrower in good faith. 
(vi)    Borrower shall provide Lender with an endorsement (to the extent such endorsement is available under the applicable Legal Requirements) to the Owner’s Title Policy relating to the Remaining Property that adds easements benefitting the Remaining Property created in connection with the release of the Atrium Parcel (including any easements granted under Section 2.10(v) above) to the description of the insured estate (which endorsement shall be issued by the title insurance company that issued the Title Insurance Policy). Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to provide Mortgage Lender with an endorsement (to the extent such endorsement is available under the applicable Legal Requirements) to the Title Insurance Policy relating to the Remaining Property (which endorsement shall be issued by the title insurance company that issued the Title Insurance Policy): (i) confirming, in each case as of the effective date of the release of the Atrium Parcel, no change in the priority of the Security Instrument on

appropriate year-to-date information) and (C) a revised version of the organizational chart delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan reflecting equity transfers (if any) consummated in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof (or a statement from a Responsible Officer of Borrower that no such equity transfer has occurred) since the most recent organizational chart delivered to Lender; and
(iv)by no later than December 1 of each calendar year, an annual operating budget (the “Annual Budget”) for the next succeeding calendar year presented on a monthly basis consistent with the annual operating statement described above for the Property, including cash flow projections for the upcoming year and all proposed capital replacements and improvements, which such budget shall (A) until the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, be provided to Lender for informational purposes and (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Period (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement), not take effect until approved by Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) (after such approval has been given in writing, such approved budget shall be referred to herein, as the “Approved Annual Budget”).  Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, (1) to the extent that an Approved Annual Budget does not exist for a prior calendar year, all operating expenses of the Property for the then current calendar year shall be deemed extraordinary expenses of the Property and shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (2) to the extent that an Approved Annual Budget exists for a prior calendar year, the most recent Approved Annual Budget shall apply to the then current calendar year; provided, that such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities expenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender’s approval be required for (i) Extraordinary Expenses if there is no continuing Trigger Period or (ii) during the continuance of a Trigger Period, for expenses attributable to emergencies involving an imminent threat of bodily injury or loss of life (including any structural damage to the Property that is reasonably expected to result in an imminent threat of bodily injury or loss of life).  To the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with any Borrower request for Lender’s approval under this Section 4.12(a) and Lender thereafter fails to respond, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.
(c)    Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request therefor, furnish Lender (and shall cause Guarantor to furnish to Lender) with such other additional financial or management information relating to Mortgage Borrower, Borrower, Guarantor, the Collateral or the Property as may, from time to time, be reasonably requested by Lender;

(e)    Borrower acknowledges the importance to Lender of the timely delivery of each of the items required by this Section 4.12 (each, a “Required Financial Item” and, collectively, the “Required Financial Items”).  In the event Borrower fails to deliver to Lender any of the Required Financial Items within the time frame specified herein (each such event, a “Reporting Failure”) and such Reporting Failure continues for seven (7) Business Days after written demand is made for delivery of such Required Financial Item(s) (or such longer period of time agreed to by Lender in its sole discretion taking into account an explanation from Borrower as to why such Required Financial Item(s) cannot be timely delivered), the same shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder.
Section 4.13    Estoppel Certificates.
(a)    After request by Lender, Borrower, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such request, shall furnish Lender or any proposed assignee of Lender with a statement stating (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, (ii) the Interest Rate of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, (iii) the date installments of interest and/or principal were last paid, (iv) any offsets or defenses to the payment and performance of the Obligations, if any, and (v) that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

(b)    Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, use commercially reasonable efforts from time to time after request by Lender, to obtain from Mortgage Lender such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such certificates of estoppel but 


- 69 -







breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender an estoppel executed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower and expressly representing to Lender, to Borrower’s knowledge, the information reasonably requested by Lender regarding compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. 
(c)    Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender or any proposed assignee of Lender, upon request, estoppel certificates from each Tenant under any Lease in substantially the same form and substance delivered at closing or otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (subject to requirements set forth in such Lease); provided, that Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certificates more frequently than one (1) time in any calendar year (except that prior to a Securitization Borrower will deliver up to two (2) estoppel certificates in any calendar year).
(d)    In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall provide an estoppel certificate to any Investor or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and detail as Lender, such Investor or prospective Investor may reasonably require.

Section 4.14    Leases and Rents.
(a)    Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower, in the ordinary course of Mortgage Borrower’s business without Lender’s consent, enter into, amend or modify any Lease provided that such Lease (i) provides for rental rates comparable in all material respects to existing local market rates for similar properties, (ii) is on commercially reasonable terms (unless otherwise consented to by Lender), (iii) is with unaffiliated, third parties (unless otherwise consented to by Lender), (iv) provides that the Tenant thereunder will attorn to Mortgage Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale and (v) does not contain any terms which are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower shall have the right to permit Mortgage Borrower, without the consent or approval of Lender, to terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease that is not a Major Lease so long as such termination or surrender is (A) by reason of a Tenant default under the applicable Lease and (B) in the ordinary course of Mortgage Borrower’s business.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower, without the prior written approval of Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to enter into, renew, extend, amend, or modify (other than to a de minimis extent), consent to any assignment of or subletting under, waive any provisions of, release any party to, terminate, reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, in each case, any Major Lease, except (x) in the case of any Major Lease other than any Specified Tenant Lease and the Oaktree Lease, to the extent that the terms of such Major Lease require Mortgage Borrower to act reasonably in approving such action and

withholding approval under the circumstances would be unreasonable (for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing proviso shall not be applicable to any Specified Tenant Lease and the Oaktree Lease, and Lender’s approval with respect to any Specified Tenant Lease and the Oaktree Lease shall be required as otherwise provided herein) and (y) to the extent that a Tenant under any Major Lease has, pursuant to the terms of its Lease, an unilateral right (without Mortgage Borrower’s consent and/or approval) to effectuate such action.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.14(a),  it being acknowledged that Borrower is permitted to permit Mortgage Borrower to enter into an amendment to the Convene Lease on the terms set forth on Schedule I hereto.
(b)    Borrower (i) shall cause Mortgage Borrower to observe and perform the obligations (other than those of a de minimis nature) imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall cause Mortgage Borrower to enforce all terms, covenants and conditions (other than those of a de minimis nature) contained in the Leases upon the part of the Tenants thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, further that to the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with a Borrower request for Lender’s consent under this clause (ii) and Lender thereafter fails to respond, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given; (iii) shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than Security Deposits); (iv) shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to execute any assignment of Mortgage Borrower’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not permit Mortgage Borrower, without the Lender’s prior written consent, to alter, modify or change any Lease so as to change the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the Tenant or increase the obligations of lessor, in each case, to the extent the same would, individually or in the aggregate, (A) cause any such Lease to violate Section 4.14(a)(i) through (iii) above or (B) have a Material Adverse Effect; and (vi) shall hold all Security Deposits in accordance with Legal Requirements in all material respects.  Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall provide to Lender any information regarding renewal, extension, amendment, modification, waiver of provisions of, termination, rental reduction of, surrender of space of, or shortening of the term of, any Major Lease (or at Lender’s reasonable request any Lease) during the term of the Loan within fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of any such event.  Borrower further agrees to provide Lender with written notice of any Tenant under a Major Lease “going dark” under such Tenant’s Lease within fifteen (15) days after Mortgage Borrower or Borrower obtains knowledge that such Tenant “has gone dark”.  Borrower agrees to provide Lender with written notice of any monetary or material non-monetary default under a Major Lease within fifteen (15) days after Mortgage Borrower or Borrower obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any such event of default.  Borrower’s failure to provide any of the aforesaid notices shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an Event of Default.


- 71 -







(d)    Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, of Mortgage Borrower’s receipt of any Lease Termination Payment or other termination fee or payment paid by any Tenant under any Lease.  During the continuance of a Trigger Period, any Lease Termination Payment paid by any Tenant at Property but only to the extent that such Lease Termination Payment paid by such Tenant exceeds Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), shall be deposited into the Leasing Reserve Account (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement; and Borrower covenants and agrees that, until deposited in accordance herewith, Mortgage Borrower shall hold any such termination fee or payment in trust for the benefit of Mortgage Lender.
Section 4.15    Management Agreement.
(a)    Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to (i) diligently and promptly perform, observe and enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions (other than those of a de minimis nature) of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed, observed and enforced, (ii) promptly notify Lender of any default (other than those of a de minimis nature) under the Management Agreement of which Mortgage Borrower is aware; (iii) [reserved]; (iv) promptly give notice to Lender of any written notice or credible information that Mortgage Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management of the Property; and (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants (other than those of a de minimis nature) required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement.

(c)    During the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action reasonably necessary to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Mortgage Borrower, to the end that the rights of Mortgage Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default.  Upon prior written notice to Borrower, Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property during the continuance of an Event of Default for the purpose of taking any such action.  If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of 


- 72 -







any notice sent to Mortgage Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.  Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to permit Manager to sub-contract to a third party (other than an Affiliate) any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement, provided, that Manager may sub-contract to a Qualified Manager the management responsibilities of Manager under a Management Agreement pursuant to a sub-management agreement, provided, that (1) the fees and charges payable under any such sub-management agreement do not exceed the management fees and charges payable to Manager under such Management Agreement and are the sole obligation of Manager, (2) any sub-management agreement terminates in the event of a termination of the Management Agreement, and (3) neither Mortgage Borrower nor Borrower shall have any obligations or liabilities under any such sub-management agreement.
(d)    Borrower shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be requested by Lender.
(e)    In the event that the Management Agreement is scheduled to expire at any time during the term of the Loan, then, unless the Management Agreement is subject to automatic renewals without any action to be taken on the part of any Person (and the Management Agreement is in fact automatically extended) Borrower shall submit to Lender by no later than forty-five (45) days prior to such expiration a draft replacement management agreement for approval in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
(f)    Borrower shall have the right to permit Mortgage Borrower to replace Manager or consent to the assignment of Manager’s rights under the Management Agreement, in each case, to the extent that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) Lender receives, in the case of an assignment to a Manager who is not an Affiliated Manager, at least forty-five (45) days and, in the case of an assignment to an Affiliated Manager, at least fifteen (15) days prior written notice of the same, and consents (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to such replacement (and the replacement Manager), (iii) the applicable New Manager is a Qualified Manager engaged pursuant to a Qualified Management Agreement and (iv) all the other conditions relating to a termination of the Management Agreement and replacement of the Manager set forth in the Assignment of Management Agreement are satisfied.  If and for so long as Manager is an Affiliate of Borrower, Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to permit Manager to resign as Manager or otherwise cease managing the Property until a New Manager approved by Lender is engaged to manage the Property in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof and of the other Loan Documents.
(g)    Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Management Agreement is terminated or expires pursuant to the Subordination of Management Agreement, ceases to be in full force or effect or is for any other reason no longer in effect (including, without limitation, in connection with any Sale or Pledge), then Lender may require Borrower to cause Mortgage Borrower to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Subordination of Management Agreement, a New Manager to manage the Property, which such New Manager 


- 73 -







shall be a Qualified Manager and shall be engaged pursuant to a Qualified Management Agreement.
(h)    As conditions precedent to any engagement of a New Manager hereunder, (i) such New Manager, Mortgage Borrower and Borrower shall execute a subordination of management agreement in the form reasonably required by Lender and (ii) to the extent that a Non‐Consolidation Opinion was previously delivered, to the extent that such New Manager is an Affiliated Manager, if requested in writing by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management agreement.
(i)    Intentionally omitted.
(j)    Any reasonable out-of-pocket costs expended by Lender pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that is ten (10) Business Days after Lender demands payment from Borrower to the date of payment to Lender, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
Section 4.16    Payment for Labor and Materials.
(a)    Subject to Section 4.16(b) below, Borrower will cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly pay (or cause to be paid) when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred by Borrower in connection with the Property (any such bills and costs, a “Work Charge”), the failure of which to pay could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and in any event never permit to exist against the Property (or any part thereof) or against Mortgage Borrower’s interest in the Property (or any part thereof) any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests of the Security Instrument other than the liens or security interests created by the Mortgage Loan Documents, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b)    Borrower may, at its own expense, contest (or permit Mortgage Borrower, at its own expense, to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Mortgage Borrower or to the Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost nor shall there be any risk of the lien of the Security Instrument being primed by any lien as a result of such Work Charge; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable or unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the Property or Borrower shall have paid the same (or shall have caused the same to be paid) under protest; and (vi) if the amount in dispute exceeds $500,000 and such Work Charge relates to the work which is not a Permitted 


- 74 -







Alteration (or if such work is a Permitted Alteration, but the Completion Guaranty is not in full force and effect), Borrower shall provide evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that such liabilities have been satisfactorily bonded over with third parties such or Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender (unless Mortgage Borrower has delivered such security to Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 4.16(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Borrower has provided Lender with evidence of the same), to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the lien of the Security Instrument or the Pledge Agreement being primed by any lien as a result of such Work Charge.
Section 4.17    Performance of Other Agreements.  Borrower shall and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to observe and perform in all material respects each and every material term to be observed or performed by Borrower and Mortgage Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument binding upon or applicable to the Property or the Collateral, or given by Borrower to Lender for the purpose of further securing the Debt and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

Section 4.19    ERISA.

(b)    Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or other retirement arrangement, which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) transactions with Borrower hereunder or under the other Loan Documents are not in violation state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

Section 4.21    Alterations.  Lender’s prior approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (other than in the case of an alteration that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect)) shall be required in connection with any alterations to any Improvements (a) that is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the cost of which (including any related alteration, improvement or replacement) is reasonably anticipated to exceed the Alteration Threshold, or (c) that are structural in nature (other than, with respect to this clause (c), ordinary course Replacements for which the following are each true: (1) the cost (including any related alteration, improvement or replacement) is not reasonably anticipated to exceed the applicable Alteration Threshold, (2) such Replacement is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (3) adequate funds for such Replacement are being reserved under the Mortgage Loan Agreement (unless Mortgage Borrower has delivered to Mortgage Lender such security pursuant to Section 4.21 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and Borrower has provided Lender with evidence of the same)).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with (i) any Permitted Alterations that are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (it being acknowledged that the Permitted Alterations may result in disruption, from time to time, of the retail tenants that are located in the Atrium) and/or (ii) alterations required to be made pursuant to any Lease entered into in compliance with this Agreement and any Property Document that are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Prior to commencing any construction in connection with Permitted Alterations, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, for information purposes only, plans, specifications and a revised budget, and Borrower may permit Mortgage Borrower to make changes to any such plans, specifications and budgets previously delivered to Lender, without the consent of Lender, provided that (i) such changed plans, specifications and budgets are promptly delivered to Lender and (ii) Lender consent shall be required for modifications to the plans, specifications and budget for the Permitted Alterations that are reasonably likely to result 


- 76 -







in a Material Adverse Effect (it being acknowledged that the Permitted Alterations may result in disruption, from time to time, of the retail tenants that are located in the Atrium) or a material change in the overall use of the Property subject to Permitted Alterations, provided, further, Lender’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required for to the plans, specifications and budget for the Permitted Alterations if the budgeted construction costs (e.g., hard costs and unpaid architectural, design and permitting costs) for such Permitted Alterations are expected to exceed $75,000,000.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, from and after a Mezzanine Foreclosure Event, Borrower shall be prohibited from performing (or permitting Mortgage Borrower to perform) any Permitted Alterations without Lender’s consent unless, prior to the commencement of any such Permitted Alterations, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender as security for the payment of the costs of all Permitted Alterations and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (I) cash, (II) U.S. Obligations, (III) a completion bond reasonably acceptable to Lender or (IV) a completion guaranty from a replacement guarantor (which guarantor and guaranty shall be acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion).  To the extent any construction in connection with Permitted Alterations has commenced, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to diligently complete all Permitted Alterations in accordance with the most recent plans, specifications and budget previously delivered to, and approved by (to the extent such approval is required hereunder), Lender.

Any such security provided to Lender will be released on a percentage basis equal to Mortgage Borrower’s completion of the alteration for which the security was provided.  If the alteration, improvement or replacement in question is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, to the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with any Borrower request for Lender’s consent or approval under this Section 4.21 with respect to such alteration, improvement or replacement and Lender thereafter fails to respond, Lender’s consent or approval, as applicable, shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.

Section 4.23    Garage Penthouse Lease.  As soon as commercially practicable (using diligent effort), but in no event later within six (6) months after the date hereof (the “Garage Penthouse Extension Date”), Borrower shall deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Mortgage Borrower has either (I) extended the Garage Penthouse Lease on terms reasonably acceptable to Lender for a term, unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in its reasonable discretion, of not less than the remaining term of the Nick & Stef’s Lease or (II) entered into an easement agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender), which agreement shall provide, unless otherwise agreed to by Lender, for the continuing use by the owner of the Property of the space demised under Garage Penthouse Lease for the same purposes as such space is being used as of the Closing Date.  The easement agreement referred to in the preceding clause (II) can be a part of the Atrium REA (provided the Atrium REA has been entered into in accordance with the terms hereof prior to the Garage Penthouse Extension Date).  In connection with any such easement agreement, Borrower  shall provide Lender with an endorsement (to the extent such endorsement is available under the applicable Legal Requirements and unless otherwise waived by Lender in writing to Borrower) to the Owner’s Title Policy relating to the Property that adds easements benefitting the Property created by such easement agreement to the description of the insured estate (which endorsement shall be issued by the title insurance company that issued the Owner’s Title Policy).


- 78 -







Section 4.24    Notices.  Borrower shall give notice, or cause notice to be given to Lender promptly upon Borrower obtaining actual knowledge of any notice of default or event of default (including, without limitation, any Mortgage Loan Event of Default) by Mortgage Borrower under any Material Agreement or any Mortgage Loan Documents.  Borrower shall deliver a true, correct and complete copy of all written notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) given or received by Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of the foregoing to or from Mortgage Lender or their respective agents.
Section 4.25    Special Distributions.  On each date on which amounts are required to be paid to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, Borrower shall, to the extent such action is permitted under the Mortgage Loan Documents exercise its rights under the Mortgage Borrower Operating Agreement to cause Mortgage Borrower to make to Borrower a distribution in an aggregate amount such that Lender shall receive the amount required to be paid to Lender on such date, provided there is sufficient cash flow from operation of the Property and provided further that no direct or indirect constituent member of such entity or any Affiliate shall be required to make an additional capital contribution to satisfy such obligation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the insufficiency of cash flow from the operation of the Property shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments as and when due pursuant to the Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
Section 4.26    Curing. 
(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, to exercise Borrower’s rights, if any, as the sole member of Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Borrower Operating Agreement, to cause Mortgage Borrower (i) to cure a Mortgage Loan Event of Default and (ii) to satisfy any liens, claims or judgments against the Property if the same has resulted in a Mortgage Loan Event of Default.  All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 4.26 (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) (v) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrower, (w) shall increase the then unpaid principal, (x) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (y) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (z) shall be secured by the Loan Documents.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless and to the extent Lender has foreclosed on the Collateral pursuant to the Pledge Agreement and/or other Security Documents, any Mortgage Loan Event Default which is not cured prior to the expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period afforded to Mortgage Borrower under the Mortgage Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender.
(b)    Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all actual liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, 


- 79 -







suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions other than any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought, and settlement costs) and disbursements resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Lender shall not have an obligation to Borrower, Guarantor, Mortgage Borrower or any other party to make any such payment or performance.  Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any default or asserted default under the Mortgage Loan, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a Mortgage Loan Event of Default.
(c)    If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of default under the Mortgage Loan Documents sent by Mortgage Lender to Mortgage Borrower, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon.
(d)    For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to, during the continuance of an Event of Default, execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this Section in the name and on behalf of Borrower.  This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
Section 4.27    Mortgage Borrower Covenants.  Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with all obligations with which Mortgage Borrower has covenanted to comply under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all other Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, those certain affirmative and negative covenants set forth in Article 4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) whether the Mortgage Loan has been repaid or the related Mortgage Loan Document terminated, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender (provided, that, in the event the Mortgage Loan is no longer outstanding, Borrower shall not be required to cause Mortgage Borrower to comply with provisions that are no longer relevant).
Section 4.28    Limitations on Distributions.  Subject to Section 4.25 hereof, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not make any distributions to its members. If any distributions shall be received by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall hold, or shall cause the same to be held, in trust for the benefit of Lender.
Section 4.29    No Contractual Obligations.  Other than (i) the Loan Documents, (ii) the organizational documents of Borrower and the organizational documents of Mortgage Borrower, (iii) agreements to provide for independent manager services similar to the services provided by Corporation Service Company as of the Closing Date, and/or (iv) agreements, such as entity 


- 80 -







maintenance and/or accounting services agreements, that do not require the payment of any material sums, neither Borrower nor any of its assets shall be subject to any agreement, instrument or undertaking by which it or its assets are bound.
Section 4.30    Limitation on Securities Issuances.  None of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, nor any of their respective subsidiaries shall issue any limited liability company interests or other securities other than those that have been issued as of the date hereof.
Section 4.31    Other Limitations.  Prior to the payment in full of the Debt, neither Borrower nor any of its Affiliates shall give its consent or approval to, or permit Mortgage Borrower to take, any of the following actions or items:

(b)    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the same rights as Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its indirect interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 7.2    Casualty.  If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender (provided that such notice shall not be required in the case of non-material damage for which the costs of completing Restoration shall be less than (i) if such damage is non-structural in nature, $1,000,000 and (ii) if such damage is structural in nature, $500,000) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof and Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.  Borrower shall pay or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to pay all costs of Restoration (including, without limitation, any applicable deductibles under the Policies) whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds.

Borrower shall pay all costs of Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds.  If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if at any time and for any reason the Mortgage Loan Restoration Provisions cease to exist or are waived or modified in any material respect (in each case, including, without limitation, due to any waiver, amendment or refinance) (such provisions, the “Waived Restoration Provisions”), to the extent permitted to do so pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents (if applicable), Borrower shall promptly (i) notify Lender of the same, (ii) execute any amendments to this Agreement and/or the Loan Documents implementing the Waived Restoration Provisions as may be reasonably required by Lender (provided such amendments are substantially similar to the provisions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the same) and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to acknowledge and agree to the same and (iii) remit to Lender (and shall cause Mortgage Borrower to remit to Lender) any Net Proceeds related to the Waived Restoration Provisions.

Borrower further (i) agrees that Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on Mezzanine B Lender’s assertion that it is entitled to such Net Proceeds and (ii) hereby releases Lender and indemnifies Lender against any Losses that may be incurred by Lender as a result of any Person claiming that Lender improperly remitted such Net Proceeds to Mezzanine B Lender.

The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity.  Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower or any SPE Component Entity, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender has determined, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by applicable law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Pledge Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
(c)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Pledge Agreement and/or Security Documents in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement and/or Security Documents then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Pledge Agreement and/or Security Documents to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Pledge Agreement and/or Security Documents to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and/or Security Documents as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and Security Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and Security Documents and not previously recovered.
(d)    During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, security instruments and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such 


- 102 -







denominations as Lender shall determine in their sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, such Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(e)    To the extent permitted by applicable law and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan and/or paid to or received by Lender may, after an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary.  Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect the Lender’s interest in the Collateral for such purposes, and the actual out-of-pocket cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.2, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender, as applicable upon demand.  All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as applicable.  All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.
ARTICLE 11
SECONDARY MARKET


- 103 -







Section 11.1    Securitization.  Subject to Sections 11.7 hereof:
(a)    Lender shall have the right (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein), (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) or (iii) to securitize the Loan (or any portion thereof and/or interest therein) in a single asset securitization or a pooled asset securitization.  The transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as “Secondary Market Transactions” and the transactions referred to in clause (iii) shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Securitization”.  Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as “Securities”.
(b)    If requested by Lender, Borrower shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation and to the extent customary and reasonable as provided in this sentence, to:
(i)provide or cause Mortgage Borrower to provide (A) updated financial and other information reasonably available to Borrower with respect to the Property, the Collateral, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, Guarantor, SPE Component Entity, Mortgage SPE Component Entity, Mezzanine B SPE Component Entity and Manager, (B) updated budgets relating to the Property, and (C) updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies and (D) revisions to and other agreements with respect to the Property Documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies;
(ii)to the extent such opinions were delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan (provided any such opinion was not waived by Lender with respect to the Loan), provide updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender and its counsel, agents and representatives, as to substantive non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, matters of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies, true sale, true lease and any other opinion customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies with respect to the Collateral,  the Property, Property Documents, Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates, Mortgage Borrower and Mortgage Borrower’s Affiliates which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Rating Agencies;
(iii)provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents (which  representations and warranties may be updated to reflect any change in facts and 


- 104 -







circumstances since the Closing Date, provided that such change in facts and circumstances is not due to a Default by Borrower under the Loan Documents); and
(iv)execute such amendments to the Loan Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents, the Property Documents and Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s, any Mortgage SPE Component Entity’s or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) amend and/or supplement the Independent Manager provisions provided herein and therein, in each case, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Rating Agencies, (B) bifurcating the Loan into two or more components and/or additional separate notes and/or creating additional senior/subordinate note structure(s) (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”) and (C) to modify all operative dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document or organizational document if such modification or amendment shall impose a Secondary Market Adverse Change on the Borrower or Guarantor.  The term “Secondary Market Adverse Change” means (i) either Borrower’s or Guarantor’s liabilities or obligations under the Loan Documents are increased, or Borrower’s or Guarantor’s rights under the Loan Documents are decreased, in either case in any material respect (although change in the weighted average interest rate described in clause (ii) below shall not be deemed to increase any such liability or decrease any such rights in any material respect), (ii) any change in the weighted average interest rate (whether before or after the time of the proposed Loan Bifurcation, Syndication or New Mezzanine Loan) (other than as a result of (x) payments and recoveries after an Event of Default and/or (y) application of proceeds following a Casualty or Condemnation), (iii) any change to the stated Maturity Date (other than as described in clause (C) above) and/or (iv) any change that would affect the amortization of the Loan.
(c)    If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Collateral alone or the Collateral and Related Collateral collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the 


- 105 -







Securitization.  The financial data or financial statements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than eighty (80) days after the end of each fiscal year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required.  If requested by Lender, Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property (which are available to Mortgage Borrower or can be obtained by Mortgage Borrower in the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts) if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(d)    All financial data and statements provided by Borrower hereunder shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements.  All financial statements referred to in this Section shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrower acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided.  All financial data and statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrower under this Section shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this subsection (d).
(e)    If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(f)    In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.


- 106 -







(g)    In connection with any anticipated Securitization, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender: 
(i)    monthly certified rent rolls within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar month; and
(ii)    monthly operating statements of the Property detailing the revenues received, the expenses incurred and the components of Underwritable Cash Flow before and after Debt Service and major capital improvements for the period of calculation and containing appropriate year-to‐date information, within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar month.
Section 11.2    Disclosure.
(a)    Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party) understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, any other Borrower Party and/or their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be (i) included in (A) the Disclosure Documents and (B) filings under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act and (ii) made available to Investors, the Rating Agencies and service providers, in each case, in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction.
(b)    Borrower shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates against any actual losses, claims, damages (excluding consequential, special and/or punitive damages except to the extent actually paid by such Person to a third party) or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender and/or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and/or affiliates are subject in connection with (x) any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and (y) after a Securitization, any indemnity obligations incurred by Lender or Servicer in connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation.  Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or otherwise in connection with the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property.
(c)    Borrower shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum or (ii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Borrower’s and Mortgage Borrower’s Affiliates, the Property, the Collateral, Manager and Guarantor (but not the description of the Loan terms, the adequacy of which shall be determined by Lender in its discretion), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Lender Affiliate”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration 


- 107 -







Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and Lender Affiliate, and any other placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender Affiliate or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property; provided, further, that, (i) Borrower shall have been given a reasonable time to review and comment on any Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information in accordance with this Section 11.2(c) prior to the publication or distribution thereof and (ii) Borrower shall not be liable for any Liabilities arising from Lender’s failure to revise any Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information in accordance with Borrower’s comments thereto that have been delivered to Lender.  The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided so long as Borrower has had the opportunity to review and comment on the Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information as described above.  The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(d)    In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the misrepresentation of a material fact in the Disclosure Document (provided Borrower shall not be liable for such Liabilities to the extent Borrower has had the opportunity to review and comment on the Disclosure Document as described in clause (c) above and Lender has  failed to revise any Disclosure Document in accordance with Borrower’s comments thereto that have been delivered to Lender) and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(e)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 11.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party).  In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it 


- 108 -







notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 11.2, such indemnifying party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the reasonable cost of the indemnifying party.
(f)    The liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Lender under this Section 11.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.  In the event Borrower and/or any Borrower Party fails to comply with the provisions of Section 11.1 and/or Section 11.2 within the timeframes specified therein and/or as otherwise required by Lender and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after notice thereof from Lender to Borrower (or such longer period of time agreed to by Lender in its sole discretion taking into account an explanation from Borrower as to why such item(s) cannot be timely delivered), the same shall, at Lender’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default.
Section 11.3    Reserves/Escrows.  In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Lender in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in “eligible accounts” at “eligible institutions” and, to the extent applicable, invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.
Section 11.4    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 11.5    Rating Agency Costs.  In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrower shall pay all reasonable, out‐of‐pocket costs and expenses of Lender and Servicer and all costs and expenses of each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.
Section 11.6    New Mezzanine Option.  Lender shall have the option (the “New Mezzanine Option”) to create one or more additional mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans and such New Mezzanine Loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loans and the New Mezzanine Loan shall, unless otherwise approved by Borrower, equal the Interest Rate (subject to any deviation 


- 109 -







attributable to the imposition of any rate of interest at the Default Rate or prepayments occurring pursuant to Section 2.7(b) or 2.7(c) hereof).  Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents (and causing Mortgage Borrower and Mezzanine B Borrower to execute such amendments to the applicable Mortgage Loan Document and Mezzanine B Loan Documents) and Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrower’s, Mezzanine B Borrower’s, any SPE Component Entity’s, any Mortgage SPE Component Entity’s or any Mezzanine B SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies, (ii) creating one or more Single Purpose Entities (the “New Mezzanine Borrower”), which such New Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) together with such constituent equity owners of such New Mezzanine Borrower as may be designated by Lender, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Lender in connection with the New Mezzanine Loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the New Mezzanine Loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral as security for the New Mezzanine Loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating to the Property Documents and other materials as may be required by Lender or the Rating Agencies.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Lender shall have the right to apply all payments to the Debt during the continuance of an Event of Default in such order as Lender determines in its sole discretion and to require that (x) no sums shall be paid to Mezzanine B Lender under the Mezzanine B Loan or the holder of the New Mezzanine Loan under the New Mezzanine Loan during the existence of an Event of Default, and (y) all Net Proceeds be applied to the Loan to the exclusion of the Mezzanine B Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan.  Provided no Event of Default exists, prepayments of the Loan and the Mezzanine B Loan made in connection with the Partial Release shall require a ratable prepayment of the New Mezzanine Loan.  The rights and remedies of the holder of the Mezzanine B Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall be separate, distinct and in addition to the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan.
Section 11.7    Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11, neither Borrower nor any of its direct or indirect owners shall be required to incur any material costs or expenses in the performance of Borrower’s obligations under Sections 11.1, Section 11.6 above or Section 11.8 below other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.
Section 11.8    Syndication.  Without limiting Lender’s rights under Section 11.1, the provisions of this Section 11.8 shall only apply in the event that the Loan is syndicated in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.8 set forth below.
(a)    Sale of Loan, Co-Lenders, Participations and Servicing.
(i)    Lender and any Co-Lender may, at their option, without Borrower’s consent (but with notice to Borrower), sell with novation all or any part of their right, title and interest in, and to, and under the Loan (the “Syndication”), to one or more additional lenders (each a “Co-Lender”).  Each additional Co-Lender shall enter into an assignment 


- 110 -







and assumption agreement (the “Assignment and Assumption”) assigning a portion of Lender’s or Co-Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan, and pursuant to which the additional Co-Lender accepts such assignment and assumes the assigned obligations.  From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment and Assumption (i) each Co-Lender shall be a party hereto and to each Loan Document to the extent of the applicable percentage or percentages set forth in the Assignment and Assumption and, except as specified otherwise herein, shall succeed to the rights and obligations of Lender and the Co‐Lenders hereunder and thereunder in respect of the Loan, and (ii) Lender, as lender and each Co-Lender, as applicable, shall, to the extent such rights and obligations have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents.
(ii)    The liabilities of Lender and each of the Co-Lenders shall be several and not joint, and Lender’s and each Co-Lender’s obligations to Borrower under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of each such Assignment and Assumption.  Neither Lender nor any Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender.  Lender and each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective proportionate shares of the Loan.
(iii)    Borrower agrees that it shall, in connection with any sale of all or any portion of the Loan, whether in whole or to an additional Co-Lender or Participant, within ten (10) Business Days after requested by Agent, furnish Agent with the information and certificates required under Sections 4.12 and 4.13 hereof.  Subject in all events to the provisions of Section 17.11(b), Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any affiliate thereof in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Co-Lenders and Participants (including prospective Co-Lenders and Participants).
(iv)    Lender (or an Affiliate of Lender) shall act as administrative agent for itself and the Co-Lenders (together with any successor administrative agent, the “Agent”) pursuant to this Section 11.8.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall have the sole and exclusive authority to execute and perform this Agreement and each Loan Document on behalf of itself, as Lender and as agent for itself and the Co-Lenders subject to the terms of the Co-Lending Agreement.  Lender acknowledges that Lender, as Agent, shall retain the exclusive right to grant approvals and give consents with respect to all matters requiring consent hereunder.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to recognize or deal directly with any Co-Lender, and no Co-Lender shall have any right to deal directly with Borrower with respect to the rights, benefits and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any one or more documents or instruments in respect thereof.  Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Lender as Agent to bind Lender and the Co-Lenders, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or the Co-Lending Agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Co-Lenders.  Lender may resign as Agent of the Co-Lenders, in its sole discretion, or if required to by the Co-Lenders in accordance with the term of the Co-Lending Agreement, in each case without the consent of but upon prior written notice to Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, a successor Agent shall be determined pursuant to the terms of the Co-


- 111 -







Lending Agreement, subject to the consent of Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  The term Agent shall mean any successor Agent.
(v)Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein (and in the Co-Lending Agreement) and no covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities of Agent shall be implied by or inferred from this Agreement, the Co-Lending Agreement, or any other Loan Document, or otherwise exist against Agent.
(vi)Except to the extent its obligations hereunder and its interest in the Loan have been assigned pursuant to one or more Assignments and Assumption, Lender, as Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Co-Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Agent, respectively.  The term “Co-Lender” or “Co-Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Lender in its individual capacity.  Lender and the other Co‐Lenders and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any kind of business with, Borrower, or any Affiliate of Borrower and any Person who may do business with or own securities of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower, all as if they were not serving in such capacities hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to each other.
(vii)If required by any Co-Lender, Borrower hereby agrees to execute supplemental notes in the principal amount of such Co-Lender’s pro rata share of the Loan substantially in the form of the Note, and such supplemental note shall (i) be payable to order of such Co-Lender, (ii) be dated as of the Closing Date, and (iii) mature on the Maturity Date.  Such supplemental note shall provide that it evidences a portion of the existing indebtedness hereunder and under the Note and not any new or additional indebtedness of Borrower.  The term “Note” as used in this Agreement and in all the other Loan Documents shall include all such supplemental notes.
(viii)Lender, as Agent, shall maintain at its domestic lending office or at such other location as Lender, as Agent, shall designate in writing to each Co-Lender and Borrower a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Co-Lenders, the amount of each Co-Lender’s proportionate share of the Loan and the name and address of each Co-Lender’s agent for service of process (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender, as Agent, and the Co-Lenders may treat each person or entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Co-Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection and copying by Borrower or any Co-Lender during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.  A Co-Lender may change its address and its agent for service of process upon written notice to Lender, as Agent, which notice shall only be effective upon actual receipt by Lender, as Agent, which receipt will be acknowledged by Lender, as Agent, upon request.

(ix)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any financial institution or other entity may be sold a participation interest in the Loan by Lender or any Co-Lender without Borrower’s consent (such financial institution or entity, a “Participant”).  No Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents and the Participant’s rights in respect of such participation shall be solely against Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, as set forth in the participation agreement executed by and between Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, and such Participant.  Borrower may rely conclusively on the actions of Lender as Agent to bind Lender and any Participant, notwithstanding that the particular action in question may, pursuant to this Agreement or any participation agreement be subject to the consent or direction of some or all of the Participants.  No participation shall relieve Lender or Co-Lender, as the case may be, from its obligations hereunder or under the Note or the Loan Documents and Lender or Co- Lender, as the case may be, shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.
(x)Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, Lender or any Co‐Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, amounts owing to it in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System).

To assist Lender in its Syndication efforts, Borrower agrees promptly to prepare and provide to Lender all information with respect to Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Manager, Guarantor, any Mortgage SPE Component Entity (if any), any SPE Component Entity (if any), the Collateral and the Property contemplated hereby, including all financial information and projections (the “Projections”), as Lender may reasonably request in connection with the Syndication of the Loan.  Borrower hereby represents and covenants that (i) all information other than the Projections (the “Information”) that has been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any of their representatives is or will be, when furnished, complete and correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to 


- 113 -







make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (ii) the Projections that have been or will be made available to Lender by Borrower or any of their representatives have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon reasonable assumptions.  Borrower understands that in arranging and syndicating the Loan, Lender, the Co-Lenders and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies, may use and rely on the Information and Projections without independent verification thereof.
(iii)    If required in connection with the Syndication, Borrower hereby agrees to:
(A)amend the Loan Documents to give Lender the right, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, to have the Property reappraised on an annual basis;
(B)deliver updated financial and operating statements and other information reasonably required by Lender to facilitate the Syndication;
(C)deliver reliance letters reasonably satisfactory to Lender with respect to the environmental assessments and reports delivered to Lender prior to the Closing Date, which will run to Lender, any Co-Lender and their respective successors and assigns;
(D)execute modifications to the Loan Documents required by the Co- Lenders; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document or organizational document if such modification or amendment shall impose a Secondary Market Adverse Change on the Borrower or Guarantor; and
(E)if Lender elects, in its sole discretion, prior to or upon a Syndication, to split the Loan into two or more parts, or the Note into multiple component notes or tranches which may have different interest rates, principal amounts, payment priorities and maturities, Borrower agrees to cooperate with Lender in connection with the foregoing and to execute the required modifications and amendments to the Note, this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to provide opinions necessary to effectuate the same; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document or organizational document if such modification or amendment shall impose a Secondary Market Adverse Change on the Borrower or Guarantor.
(c)    Limitation of Liability.  No claim may be made by Borrower, or any other Person against Agent, Lender or any Co-Lenders or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of such Persons for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.


- 114 -







(d)    No Joint Venture.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, neither Agent, Lender nor any Co-Lender by entering into this Agreement or by taking any action pursuant hereto, will be deemed a partner or joint venturer with Borrower.
(e)    Voting Rights of Co-Lenders.  Borrower acknowledges that the Co-Lending Agreement may contain provisions which require that amendments, waivers, extensions, modifications, and other decisions with respect to the Loan Documents shall require the approval of all or a number of the Co-Lenders holding in the aggregate a specified percentage of the Loan or any one or more Co-Lenders that are specifically affected by such amendment, waiver, extension, modification or other decision.

Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in their sole discretion. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

Section 16.7    Marshalling and Other Matters.
Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Pledge Agreement of the Collateral or any part thereof or any interest therein.
