Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(E)    If any Governmental Authority asserts that Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any Tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of Administrative Agent.  The obligation of each Lender under this Section shall survive the repayment of Debt, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, such Lender, the termination of the Individual Loan Commitments and the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent. Each such Lender shall (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to Borrower and Administrative Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent upon reasonable prior notice.
(xii)    Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 18.14(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.5(b)(xii).


- 49 -





(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.
(xiv)    For purposes of Sections 2.5(b)(v), (xi), (xii) and (xiii), the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
(c)    Default Rate.  In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (i) the then Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the applicable Event of Default occurred, (ii) without limitation of any rights or remedies contained herein and/or in any other Loan Document, any interest accrued at the Default Rate in excess of the interest component of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be due and payable on each Monthly Payment Date (and, from and after the Maturity Date, shall be due and payable immediately upon demand), and (iii) all references herein and/or in any other Loan Document to the “Interest Rate” shall be deemed to refer to the Default Rate.
(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 


- 50 -





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 Administrative Agent for the account of each 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 Administrative Agent for the account of each 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.
(b)    Reserved.
(c)    Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each 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 Security Instrument 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 Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender upon 


- 51 -





demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Administrative Agent and Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(e)    
(i)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’s office, and any funds received by Administrative Agent after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(ii)    Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender promptly thereafter by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender.
(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 any 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 such 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 such 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 such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. In the event (A) Borrower is required to pay any 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), and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 2.6(f), (B) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, or (C) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of any Loan Document requested by Borrower that 


- 52 -





requires unanimous consent of the Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by Requisite Lenders, then Borrower may, at their sole expense and effort, upon three (3) Business Days’ notice to such Lender and Administrative Agent, require such Lender to transfer and assign, without recourse (in accordance with Section 18.15), all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes to an Eligible Assignee identified by Borrower that is reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent if such proposed Eligible Assignee agrees to assume all of the obligations of such requesting Lender hereunder from and after the date of such assignment, and to purchase all of such requesting Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such requesting Lender’s Percentage Share of the Loan, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer shall have been paid or satisfactory arrangements shall have been made for such payments, provided that, (x) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation or payments under Section 2.5(b)(v), (vi) or (vii), such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter and (y) in the case of any such assignment under Section 2.6(f)(C), such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee that shall consent to such amendment, waiver or other modification of the requested Loan Document.  Each Lender hereby grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption Agreement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section 2.6(f).
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 Administrative Agent 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.  Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 Date and must specify such proposed Prepayment Date.  A Prepayment Notice given by Borrower to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders, 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), a simultaneous pro-rata prepayment of each of the Mezzanine Loan shall be made and Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent of such prepayment of Mezzanine Loans.


- 53 -





(b)    Mandatory Prepayment.  On each date on which Administrative Agent actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Administrative Agent does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration or for disbursement as Rent Loss Proceeds (as applicable), in each case, in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, prepay the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with any applicable Interest Shortfall and any Breakage Costs.  If such prepayment occurs after a Securitization, Borrower shall make the REMIC Payment as and to the extent required hereunder.  No Prepayment Premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) (including, without limitation, in connection with any REMIC Payment).  Any prepayment received by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Administrative Agent as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing, Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Administrative Agent on the next Monthly Payment Date, with any interest on such funds paid to Borrower on such date provided no Event of Default then exists.  Upon payment in full of the Debt, Lender shall disburse all Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to (a) first, in the event the Mezzanine A Loan is outstanding, Mezzanine A Lender; (b) second, in the event the Mezzanine A Loan has been paid in full and the Mezzanine B Loan is outstanding, Mezzanine B Lender;  and (c) then, in the event the Mezzanine B Loan has been paid in full, Borrower.
(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 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 Lenders shall otherwise determine in their sole discretion.
(d)    Prepayment of Mezzanine Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, in no event shall any Mezzanine Loan be prepaid unless the Debt is contemporaneously prepaid ratably in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement.
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 Administrative Agent, (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 the Cash Management Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt is outstanding, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to be outstanding if the Property is transferred by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof.  Additionally, Borrower shall collaterally assign to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest in and to the Interest Rate Cap 


- 54 -





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 Administrative Agent a fully executed  Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders and require that payments be deposited directly into the Cash Management Account).
(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 Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall be deposited promptly into the Restricted Account.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to enforce Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ 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 Administrative Agent or any 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 Administrative Agent (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 Administrative Agent.
(d)    In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Administrative Agent the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Administrative Agent in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Administrative Agent until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Administrative Agent.
(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, Administrative Agent and Borrower, (y) find a replacement Counterparty, at the Counterparty’s sole cost and expense, acceptable to each Rating Agency, Administrative Agent 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 


- 55 -





Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’s approval with respect thereto and shall not approve or consent to the foregoing unless and until Borrower receives Administrative Agent’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 Administrative Agent’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 Administrative Agent an opinion (upon which Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective 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 Administrative Agent) 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).


- 56 -





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 Administrative Agent 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 Borrower pays to Administrative Agent all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with such notice, including, without limitation, any Breakage Costs;
(c)    Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and Lenders and all actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (if any) incurred by Lenders 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 Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders 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, Administrative Agent shall have determined that the lien free completion of the Permitted Alterations in accordance with Section 4.21 hereof, 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;


- 57 -





(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 Administrative Agent, Borrower shall either (selection of which option shall be at Borrower’s election) (x) post a cash deposit with Administrative Agent 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 Mezzanine A Lender and/or Mezzanine B Lender, such payment will be given appropriate credit under such guaranty given for the benefit of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders).  If Borrower elects the foregoing option (x) then any funds posted with Administrative Agent to cover the obligations described in either the foregoing clause (1) or (2) shall be held by Administrative Agent as additional collateral for the Loan until such time as the Debt has been paid in full; 
(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 Administrative Agent or (y) provide a payment guaranty from Guarantor guaranteeing payment of an amount equal to the Specified Tenant Trigger Cap (which guaranty shall be in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent) (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 Mezzanine A Lender and/or Mezzanine B Lender, such payment will be given appropriate credit under such guaranty given for the benefit of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders).  If Borrower elects the foregoing option (x) then any funds posted with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent 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), so long as no Event of Default then exists, 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; 


- 58 -





(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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent) (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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent) (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 delivered to Mezzanine A Lender and/or Mezzanine B Lender, such payment will be given appropriate credit under such guaranty given for the benefit of Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders).  If Borrower elects option (x) described above in this subsection (k), any funds posted with Administrative Agent shall be held by Administrative Agent as additional collateral for the Loan until such time as the Debt has been paid in full; provided, however, that if GDC’s Specified Tenant Space is re-leased in accordance with the terms hereof to a replacement tenant or to GDC subsequent to the date that such funds have been posted with Administrative Agent, so long as no Event of Default then exists, such funds shall be returned to Borrower in a manner, as determined by Administrative Agent, similar to the manner in which the GDC and the Additional GDC Guaranty would be reduced had the same been delivered; and
(l)    Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent evidence that each of the Mezzanine A 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 


- 59 -





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 to obtain the release (the “Partial Release”) of the Atrium Parcel from the lien of the Security Instrument thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to the Atrium Parcel (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:
(i)    Administrative Agent shall have received at least fifteen (15) Business Days (or a shorter period of time if permitted by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) prior written notice requesting the release of the Atrium Parcel;
(ii)    Borrower shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7(a) above, prepay the Loan in an amount equal to the Release Price (including, without limitation, any Prepayment Premium applicable thereto);
(iii)    Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent, not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such release, a release of lien (and related Loan Documents) for the Atrium Parcel for execution by Administrative Agent.  Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the State in which the Property is located and shall contain standard provisions, if any, protecting the rights of the releasing lenders.  In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation in connection with such release as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation is in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(iv)    Borrower shall have delivered evidence that would be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent 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;
(v)    Borrower shall have delivered evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that Borrower has entered into a reciprocal easement agreement (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent) 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 Administrative Agent; provided that Administrative Agent shall reasonably approve the Atrium REA upon satisfaction of certain  conditions to be mutually agreed upon by Administrative Agent and Borrower in good faith.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon satisfaction of all conditions for the Partial Release set forth in this Section 2.10 and approval of the Atrium REA by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall subordinate the lien of the Security Instrument to the Atrium REA.


- 60 -





(vi)    Borrower shall provide 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 the Remaining Property and insuring that there are no liens, mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments, as the case may be, not otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, encumbering the Remaining Property, (ii) if not already part of the insured estate in the Title Insurance Policy (and such estate is not being released), insuring Lenders’ interest in any 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), (iii) [reserved], and (iv) insuring that the balance of the Remaining Property (excluding the Atrium Parcel) constitutes separate tax lots and has been legally subdivided;
(vii)    Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent evidence that would be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the release of the Atrium Parcel will not violate any term or provision of any Lease in effect at the Remaining Property at the time of the release of the Atrium Parcel, which evidence may take the form of a certification from Borrower contained in the Officer’s Certificate referenced in Section 2.10(xiii) below;
(viii)    To the extent such survey is not delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall have delivered, or caused to be delivered, a survey of the Atrium Parcel and the Remaining Property, which survey shall include a legal description of the Atrium Parcel and the Remaining Property and shall otherwise be in such form as would be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;
(ix)    Intentionally omitted.  
(x)    As of the date of consummation of the Partial Release, after giving effect to the release of the Atrium Parcel from the lien of the Security Instrument, the LTV with respect to the remaining Property shall be no greater than the LTV as of the Closing Date (i.e., 74.8%);
(xi)    Borrower shall have (or shall have caused to be) paid or reimbursed  Administrative Agent for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in connection with the release of the Atrium Parcel.  Borrower shall pay all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses (including, without limitation, mortgage and intangibles taxes and documentary stamp taxes) payable in connection with the release of the Atrium Parcel. Borrower shall have paid all costs and expenses of the Rating Agencies incurred in connection with the release of the Atrium Parcel; 
(xii)    If required by Administrative Agent after a Securitization, Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with an opinion of counsel that the release will not constitute a “significant modification” of the Loan under Section 1001 of the IRS Code or otherwise cause a tax to be imposed on a “prohibited transaction” by any REMIC, which opinion shall not contain any qualifications or assumptions other than qualifications and assumptions customary for such an opinion; 


- 61 -





(xiii)    Intentionally omitted;
(xiv)    Borrower shall deliver all other documents and items as Administrative Agent may reasonably request and execute such documents and instruments as are typical for transactions similar to such release of the Atrium Parcel; 
(xv)    All conditions precedent to the applicable Partial Release set forth in Section 2.10 of the applicable Mezzanine Loan Agreement have been complied with by Mezzanine Borrowers and Borrower shall have delivered, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent evidence thereof; and
(xvi)    Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that all requirements set forth in this Section 2.10 have been satisfied.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10, if the Loan is included in a REMIC, the release of the Atrium Parcel shall not be permitted unless, immediately after the release of the Atrium Parcel, either (i) the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the Remaining Property is equal to or less than 125% (such value to be determined, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC) or (ii) the principal balance of the Loan is paid down by the least of the following amounts: (1) the net proceeds of the sale of the Atrium Parcel, (2) the fair market value of the Atrium Parcel at the time of the release of the Atrium Parcel, or (3) an amount such that the loan-to-value ratio of the Loan (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release of the Atrium Parcel, unless Administrative Agent receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC as a result of the release of the Atrium Parcel.
Administrative Agent shall, if requested by Borrower, confirm to the Mezzanine Lenders (which confirmation can be delivered via email) whether the conditions to the Partial Release set forth in this Section 2.10 have been satisfied (or waived).
Section 2.11    Pro Rata Treatment.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) any borrowing from Lenders under Section 2.2 shall be made from Lenders severally in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares, (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower shall be made to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective their respective Percentage Shares, and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on their Individual Loan Commitments then due and payable.
Section 2.12    Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of its Note or of interest thereon through the exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim, or by any other means (including direct payment), and such payment results in such Lender receiving a greater payment than it would have been entitled to had such payment been paid directly to Administrative Agent for disbursement to Lenders, then such Lender shall promptly purchase for cash from the other Lenders participations in the Loan in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all 


- 62 -





Lenders shall share ratably the benefit of such payment.  To such end, Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Individual Loan Commitments owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with the respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of the Loan in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.
Section 2.13    Several Obligations.  No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform any obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, nor shall Borrower be responsible for the failure of any Lender to perform any obligation to be made or performed by such Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to perform any obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make or to perform any obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.  The liability of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint.

(d)    Borrower agrees that (i) Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account and (ii) all Required Financial Items (defined below) to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.12 shall: (A) be complete and correct in all material respects; (B) [reserved]; (C) disclose all liabilities that are required to be reflected or reserved against; (D) be prepared (1) in the form reasonably required by Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the form of financial reports submitted to Administrative Agent in connection with the closing of the Loan shall be deemed acceptable to Administrative Agent) and certified by a Responsible Officer of Borrower, (2) in hardcopy and electronic formats and (3) in accordance with the Approved Accounting Method; and (E) within a reasonable period of time following  request of Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender), be audited (on a consolidated basis at the Guarantor-level) by an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.
(e)    Borrower acknowledges the importance to Lenders 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 Administrative Agent 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 


- 79 -





after written demand is made for delivery of such Required Financial Item(s) (or such longer period of time agreed to by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’s option, constitute an immediate Event of Default hereunder.
Section 4.13    Estoppel Certificates.
(a)    After request by Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any Lender), Borrower, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such request, shall furnish Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) or any proposed assignee of any Lender with a statement stating (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, (ii) the Interest Rate, (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. After request by Borrower not more than once in any calendar year, Administrative Agent shall within fifteen (15) Business Days furnish Borrower with a statement stating (i) the Outstanding Principal Balance of the Loan, (ii) the Interest Rate and (iii) that, to Administrative Agent’s knowledge, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

(c)    In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, at Administrative Agent’s request, Borrower shall provide an estoppel certificate to any Investor or any prospective Investor in such form, substance and detail as Administrative Agent, such Investor or prospective Investor may reasonably require.
(d)    Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) Business Days of request, estoppel certificates from each party under any Property Document, the Garage Penthouse REA and/or the Garage Penthouse Lease in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent; 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).
Section 4.14    Leases and Rents.
(a)    Borrower may, in the ordinary course of business without Administrative Agent’s consent, enter into, amend or modify any Lease provided that such Lease (i) provides for rental

Borrower shall have the right, without the consent or approval of Administrative Agent, 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 Borrower’s business.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not, without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), 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 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 Administrative Agent’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 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 enter into an amendment to the Convene Lease on the terms set forth on Schedule I hereto.
(b)    Borrower (i) shall 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 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 terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without the Administrative Agent’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 Administrative Agent consent under this clause (ii) and Administrative Agent thereafter fails to respond, Administrative Agent’s approval shall be deemed given; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than Security Deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of Borrower’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, 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 Administrative Agent with executed copies of all Leases.


- 81 -





(c)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Borrower shall provide to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’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 Administrative Agent with written notice of any Tenant under a Major Lease “going dark” under such Tenant’s Lease within fifteen (15) days after Borrower obtains knowledge that such Tenant “has gone dark”.  Borrower agrees to provide Administrative Agent with written notice of any monetary or material non-monetary default under a Major Lease within fifteen (15) days after Borrower obtains knowledge of the occurrence of any such event of default.  Borrower’s failure to provide any of the aforesaid notices shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, constitute an Event of Default.
(d)    Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent in writing, within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof, of 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 to be held and disbursed in accordance with Section 8.3 hereof; and Borrower covenants and agrees that, until deposited in accordance herewith, Borrower shall hold any such termination fee or payment in trust for the benefit of Lenders.
(e)    Intentionally omitted.
(f)    Administrative Agent, upon Borrower’s request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in form and substance substantially similar to the form attached hereto as Exhibit E or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent with any Tenant entering into a new Lease or a modification of a Lease with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by such Tenant and which are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent.
Section 4.15    Management Agreement.

(b)    Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the 


- 82 -





Management Agreement; (ii) consent to any assignment of the Manager’s interest under the Management Agreement (other than in accordance with Section 4.15(f) below); (iii) replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement with respect to the Property (other than in accordance with Section 4.15(f) below); (iv) increase or consent to the increase of the management fees or any other material fees or charges under the Management Agreement; or (v) otherwise modify, change, alter or amend, in any material respect, or waive or release any of its material rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement in any material respect.
(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, Administrative Agent 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 Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default.  Upon prior written notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent and any Person designated by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent and Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon.  Borrower shall not 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) Borrower shall have no 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 Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be requested by Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of any 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 Administrative Agent 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 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) Administrative Agent receives, in the case of an 


- 83 -





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 Manager to resign as Manager or otherwise cease managing the Property until a New Manager approved by Administrative Agent 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 Assignment 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 Administrative Agent may require Borrower to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a New Manager to manage the Property, which such New Manager 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 and Borrower shall execute an assignment of management agreement in the form reasonably required by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, 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 Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that is ten (10) Business Days after Administrative Agent demands payment from Borrower to the date of payment to Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent or any Lender therefor.
Section 4.16    Payment for Labor and Materials.
(a)    Subject to Section 4.16(b) below, Borrower will 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 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 Loan Documents other than the liens or 


- 84 -





security interests created hereby and by the Security Instrument, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b)    Borrower, at its own expense, may 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 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 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 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, 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 being primed by any lien as a result of such Work Charge.
Section 4.17    Performance of Other Agreements.  Borrower shall observe and perform in all material respects each and every material term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument binding upon or applicable to the Property, or given by Borrower to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, for the purpose of further securing the Debt and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

(a)    Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Administrative Agent or any Lender

of any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b)    Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Administrative Agent such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Security Instrument, as requested by Administrative Agent 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.  The Administrative Agent’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

Prior to commencing any construction in connection with Permitted Alterations, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent, for information purposes only, plans, specifications and a revised budget, and Borrower may make changes to any such plans, specifications and budgets previously delivered to Administrative Agent, without the consent of Administrative Agent, provided that (i) such changed plans, specifications and budgets are promptly delivered to Administrative Agent and (ii) Administrative Agent consent shall be required for modifications to the plans, specifications and budget for the Permitted Alterations that are reasonably likely to result 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, Administrative Agent’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 any Permitted Alterations without Administrative Agent’s consent unless, prior to the commencement of any such Permitted Alterations, Borrower shall have delivered to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent or (IV) a completion guaranty from a replacement guarantor (which guarantor and guaranty shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion). To the extent any construction in connection with Permitted Alterations has commenced, Borrower shall 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), Administrative Agent.  If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to any alterations (other than the Permitted Alterations) to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other security reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (provided that, if such alteration occurs after a Securitization, Administrative Agent shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same), or (iv) a completion bond reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (provided that, if such alteration occurs after a Securitization, Administrative Agent shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same); provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not require any additional security if Guarantor has executed a guaranty with respect to the amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements over the Alteration Threshold; provided further, however, Borrower shall elect 


- 87 -





either (selection of which option shall be at Borrower’s election) (x) post such security with Administrative Agent or (y) provide the foregoing guaranty.  Any such security provided to Administrative Agent will be released on a percentage basis equal to  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 Administrative Agent’s consent or approval under this Section 4.21 with respect to such alteration, improvement or replacement and Administrative Agent thereafter fails to respond, Administrative Agent’s consent or approval, as applicable, shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.
Section 4.22    Property Document and Garage Penthouse Lease Covenants.  Borrower shall (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements (other than those of a de minimis nature) required to be performed and observed by it under the Property Documents, the Garage Penthouse Lease, and/or any Garage Penthouse REA, and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Administrative Agent of any material default under the Property Documents, the Garage Penthouse Lease, and/or any Garage Penthouse REA of which it is aware which is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) [reserved]; (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements (other than those of a de minimis nature) required to be performed and/or observed under the Property Documents, the Garage Penthouse Lease, and/or any Garage Penthouse REA in a commercially reasonable manner; (v) cause the Property to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Property Documents; and (vi) not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (A) enter into any new Property Document, (B) surrender, terminate or cancel any of the Property Documents, the Garage Penthouse REA or the Garage Penthouse Lease (unless, solely with respect to the Garage Penthouse Lease, the Garage Penthouse Lease is replaced with an easement agreement in accordance with Section 4.23 hereof), (C) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Property Documents, the Ground Penthouse REA or the Garage Penthouse Lease (unless, solely with respect to the Garage Penthouse Lease, the Garage Penthouse Lease is replaced with an easement agreement in accordance with Section 4.23 hereof), (D) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, or, except in connection with an extension of the Garage Penthouse Lease approved by Administrative Agent, increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges payable by Borrower under the Property Documents, the Garage Penthouse REA or the Garage Penthouse Lease, in each case, if it could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (E) following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any approvals or otherwise take any action under the Property Documents, the Garage Penthouse REA or the Garage Penthouse Lease if any of the foregoing could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

As soon as commercially practicable (using diligent efforts), but in no event later than within six (6) months after the date hereof (the “Garage Penthouse Extension Date”), Borrower shall deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that Borrower has either (I) extended the Garage Penthouse Lease on terms reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent for a term, unless otherwise agreed to by 


- 88 -





Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent), which agreement shall provide, unless otherwise agreed to by Administrative Agent, 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 an endorsement (to the extent such endorsement is available under the applicable Legal Requirements and unless otherwise waived by Administrative Agent in writing to Borrower) to the Title Insurance Policy relating to the Property (which endorsement shall be issued by the title insurance company that issued the Title Insurance Policy): (i) insuring Administrative Agent’s (on behalf of Lenders) interest in the easement created by such easement agreement benefitting the Property and (ii) insuring, as of the effective date of such easement agreement, no change in the priority of the Security Instrument on the Property (for the avoidance of doubt, other than with respect to such new property (i.e., easements) being added to the Property as a result of the easement agreement, which new property shall have the priority applicable at the time insured) and insuring that there are no liens, mortgages, deeds of trust or other security instruments, as the case may be, not otherwise permitted by the Loan Documents, encumbering the Property.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon satisfaction of all conditions set forth in this Section 4.23 and approval of the easement agreement referred to in this Section 4.23 by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent shall subordinate the lien of the Security Instrument to such easement agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document (including, without limitation Sections 6.3 and 6.4 hereof), in no event shall Borrower or any SPE Component Entity be (I) a Prohibited Entity, (II) Controlled (directly or indirectly) by any Prohibited Entity or (II) more than 49% owned (directly or indirectly) by any Prohibited Entities (whether individually or in the aggregate), unless, in the case of each of the foregoing, Lender’s prior written consent is first obtained (which such consent shall be given or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion and may be conditioned on, among other things, Lender’s receipt of a Rating Agency Confirmation).

endorsement; and (F) notwithstanding the above, terrorism may be purchased on a separate, stand-alone policy in lieu of being included within an “All Risks” or “Special Perils” policy as long as the same protections are afforded as required under this Subsection 7.1(a)(i).  The Full Replacement Cost shall be re-determined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twelve (12) calendar months) at the request of Administrative Agent.  After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade.  No omission on the part of Administrative Agent to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, to the extent that insurance proceeds are payable to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Subsection (the “Rent Loss Proceeds”) and Borrower is entitled to disbursement of Net Proceeds for Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof, (1) a Trigger Period shall be deemed to exist and (2) such Rent Loss Proceeds shall be deposited by Administrative Agent in the Cash Management Account and disbursed as provided in Article 9 hereof; provided, however, that (I) nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the Rent Loss Proceeds and (II) in the event the Rent 


- 101 -





Loss Proceeds are paid in a lump sum in advance and Borrower is entitled to disbursement of such Rent Loss Proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof, Administrative Agent or Servicer shall hold such Rent Loss Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing Eligible Account (which shall deemed to be included within the definition of the “Accounts” hereunder) and Administrative Agent or Servicer shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the applicable Casualty, shall divide the applicable aggregate Rent Loss Proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such monthly installment of Rent Loss Proceeds from such Eligible Account into the Cash Management Account each month during the performance of such Restoration;

(vi)    comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (or equipment breakdown coverage), in each case, covering all mechanical and electrical equipment and pressure vessels and boilers in an amount not less than their replacement cost or in such other amount as shall be reasonably required by Administrative Agent;

- 102 -





(viii)    earthquake, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance, if Property is located within a Seismic Zone 3 or 4 and the probable maximum loss is 20% or greater, in amounts equal to the probable maximum loss of the Property as determined by an independent seismic or engineering study in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Subsection (viii) shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 7.1(a)(i);
(ix)    umbrella and/or excess liability insurance in an amount not less than $100,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above;

(xii)    such other insurance and in such amounts as (A) may be required pursuant to the terms of the Property Documents and (B) Administrative Agent from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for commercial property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b)    All insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized and admitted to do business in the state in which the Property is located and approved by Administrative Agent.  The insurance companies must have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of ”A-“ or better by S&P or “A3” or better by Moody’s or, for insurance companies that are not rated by S&P or Moody’s (which shall be permitted in similar participation amounts and placement within the overall program as on the Close Date, or as otherwise approved by Administrative Agent), a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of “X” or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”).  Within 10 days of Administrative Agent’s request following a loss at the Property, Borrower shall deliver redacted certified copies of the Policies to Administrative Agent, provided the Policies are available. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies or certificates theretofore furnished to Administrative Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing the renewal or successor Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, Liberty IC Casualty LLC (“Liberty”) shall be an acceptable insurer of perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism, so long as (i) the policy issued by Liberty has (A) no aggregate limit, and (B) a deductible of no greater than that as calculated pursuant to the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 (TRIPRA) or the then-current successor act, (ii) other than the deductible, the portion of such 


- 103 -





insurance which is not reinsured by the government of the United States of America is reinsured by an insurance carrier or carriers rated no less than “A-” or better by S&P or “A3” or better by Moody’s (provided that Borrower shall cause such re-insurance agreements to provide a cut-through endorsement acceptable to Lender), (iii) TRIPRA or a similar federal statute is in effect and provides that the federal government must reinsure that portion of any terrorism insurance claim (A) above the applicable deductible payable by Liberty, and (B) as per the current TRIPRA legislation, (iv) Liberty shall be licensed in the District of Columbia; (v) Liberty is not the subject of a bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding, and (vi) no Governmental Authority issues any statement, finding, or decree that insurers of perils of terrorism similar to Liberty (i.e., captive insurers arranged similar to Liberty) do not qualify for the payments or benefits of TRIPRA. Coverage provided by Liberty shall have no deductible in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. In the event that Liberty is providing insurance coverage (i) to other properties in close proximity to the Property, and/or (ii) to other properties owned by a Person(s) who is not an Affiliate of Borrower, and such insurance is not subject to the same reinsurance and other requirements of this Section 7.1, then Lender may reasonably re-evaluate the limits and deductibles of the insurance required to be provided by Liberty hereunder.  In the event any of the foregoing conditions are not satisfied, Liberty shall not be deemed an acceptable insurer of terrorism losses.  Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants to Lender, on behalf of Liberty, that the insurance premiums for the insurance coverages provided to Borrower by Liberty are fair market value insurance premiums
(c)    Borrower shall not obtain (or permit to be obtained) with regard to the Property (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Administrative Agent, the interest of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders is included therein as provided in this Agreement, such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer and such Policy includes such changes to the coverages and requirements set forth herein as may be required by Administrative Agent (including, without limitation, increases to the amount of coverages required herein) or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 7.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower.
(d)    All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 7.1(a) shall name Borrower as the insured and, in the case of liability Policies (except for the Policies referenced in Subsections 7.1(a)(v) and (xi)), shall include Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and, in the case of property damage Policies (including, but not limited to, terrorism, rental income, business interruption, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance), such Policies shall contain a standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders, always subject to the Restoration Threshold stated in Section 7.4 hereof.
(e)    All property damage Policies provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)    the following shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the Policy insofar as Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders is concerned:  (A) any act or negligence of Borrower, of anyone acting for Borrower or of any other Person 


- 104 -





named as an insured, additional insured and/or loss payee, (B) any foreclosure or other similar exercise of remedies and (C) the failure to comply with the provisions of the Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof;
(ii)    the Policy shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice (via certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to Administrative Agent and any other party included therein as an insured, save for 10 days’ notice for cancellation due to non-payment of premium;
(iii)    the issuer(s) of the Policy shall give written notice to Administrative Agent (via certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested) if the Policy has not been renewed prior to its expiration. If insurers will not provide said notice, the obligation will fall to the Borrower to inform of the same;
(iv)    not contain any clause or provision that would make Administrative Agent or any Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments or commissions thereunder and that the related issuer(s) waive any related claims to the contrary; and
(v)    Administrative Agent shall, at its option and with no obligation to do so, have the right to directly pay Insurance Premiums in order to avoid cancellation, expiration and/or termination of the Policy due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums.
(f)    Intentionally Omitted.
(g)    If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, with written notice to Borrower to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such levels of insurance coverage as stipulated in this Section 7.1, and all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(h)    Intentionally Omitted.
(i)    As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have (1) received Administrative Agent’s prior written consent thereto and (2) if required by Administrative Agent, confirmed that Administrative Agent has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent hereby reserves the right to deny its consent to any Non-Conforming 


- 105 -





Policy regardless of whether or not Administrative Agent has consented to the same on any prior occasion.
(j)    Borrower shall cooperate with Administrative Agent in obtaining for Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders the benefits of any Awards or insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Administrative Agent shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Administrative Agent in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereto) out of such Awards or insurance proceeds.  Any Net Proceeds related to such Awards or insurance proceeds shall be deposited with Administrative Agent and held and applied in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof.
(k)    Borrower hereby represents that the physical address(es) for each portion of the Improvements for all purposes (including, without limitation, insurance purposes) are as follows: 333 S Grand Ave and 330 S Hope Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071.
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 Administrative Agent (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 $2,500,000) and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4.  Borrower shall pay all costs of Restoration (including, without limitation, any applicable deductibles under the Policies) whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds.  Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
Section 7.3    Condemnation.  Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent notice of the actual or threatened in writing commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property of which Borrower has knowledge and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent, its attorneys and experts, and reasonably cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including without limitation any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Administrative Agent shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property (to the extent 


- 106 -





such Restoration is applicable) and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4.  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 Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders of the Award, Administrative Agent 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 the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, if, in connection with any Casualty or Condemnation, after a Securitization a prepayment of the Debt (in whole or in part) is required under REMIC Requirements, (a) the applicable Net Proceeds shall be applied to the Debt in accordance with Section 7.4(c) hereof and (b) to the extent that the amount of the applicable Net Proceeds actually applied to the Debt in connection therewith is insufficient under REMIC Requirements, Borrower shall, within five (5) days of demand by Administrative Agent, prepay the principal amount of the Debt in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof in an amount equal to such insufficiency plus the amount of any then applicable Interest Shortfall (such prepayment, together with any related Interest Shortfall payment, collectively, the “REMIC Payment”).  After a Securitization Administrative Agent may require Borrower to deliver a REMIC Opinion in connection with each of the foregoing.
Section 7.4    Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a)    If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed to Borrower, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Administrative Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4.
(i)    The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)    (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;


- 107 -





(C)    Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than 75% of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of the applicable Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (other than Leases which automatically expire by their terms), notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be;
(D)    Borrower shall commence (or shall cause the commencement of) the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E)    Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F)    Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Net Proceeds together with any other collateral, guaranties, any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with or delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent are sufficient to cover the cost of the Restoration;
(G)    Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the debt yield for the Property (which debt yield shall be determined by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion), shall be at least equal to the lesser of (1) (i) 5.50% during the first year of the initial term of the Loan, (ii) 5.75% during the second year of the initial term of the Loan and the first Extension Period, (iii) 6.00% during the second Extension Period and (iv) 6.15% during the third Extension Period and (2) the Debt Yield as of the date immediately prior to the occurrence of the applicable Casualty or Condemnation;
(H)    Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (3) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above;
(I)    Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, shall be at least 1.00:1.00;
(J)    the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements in all material respects and the Property Documents;


- 108 -





(K)    the Restoration shall be done and completed in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements and the Property Documents;
(L)    the Property Documents (other than those of a de minimis nature) will remain in full force and effect during and after the Restoration and a Property Document Event shall not occur as a result of the applicable Casualty, Condemnation and/or Restoration; and
(M)    after a Securitization, Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that making the Net Proceeds available for Restoration shall be permitted pursuant to REMIC Requirements and, in that regard, Administrative Agent may require Borrower to deliver a REMIC Opinion in connection therewith.
(ii)    The Net Proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which (1) are not being contested by Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof, (2) have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record or (3) in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Administrative Agent by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)    With respect to any Casualty in excess of the Restoration Threshold, all plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”), such acceptance of the plans and specifications not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant if the applicable contract is for an amount equal to or greater than $3,000,000.  All reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.  Borrower shall have the right to settle (i) all claims under the Policies which claims are less than the Settlement Threshold without Administrative Agent’s consent (provided, 


- 109 -





however, that Borrower shall consult with Administrative Agent with respect to any settlement discussions with any insurance companies) and (ii) all claims under the Policies which claims are equal or in excess of the Settlement Threshold jointly with Administrative Agent, provided that, in each case, (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim.  If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.  To the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with any Borrower request for Administrative Agent’s approval under this clause (iii) and Administrative Agent thereafter fails to respond, Administrative Agent’s approval shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.
(iv)    In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage.  The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Section 7.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that Net Proceeds representing fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration have been disbursed.  There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or by the title company insuring the lien of the Security Instrument.  If reasonably required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued 


- 110 -





a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)    Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration (which Restoration for the purposes of this clause (vi) shall exclude the Atrium for so long as the Permitted Alterations have not been completed and the Completion Guaranty remains in full force and effect), Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  If the Net Proceeds Deficiency is deposited with Administrative Agent, then such Net Proceeds Deficiency shall be held by Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(vii)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.  During a Trigger Period any Net Proceeds required to be disbursed to Borrower in accordance with this Section 7.4(b)(vii) shall be deposited by Administrative Agent into the Cash Management Account.
(c)    All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its discretion shall deem proper.  Without limiting the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 7.4(c), if Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Administrative Agent and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Debt.
Section 7.5    Distributions to Net Proceeds to Mezzanine Lender.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VII, provided no Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing, to the extent that Borrower is entitled to a disbursement of Net Proceeds under Section 7.4(b)(vii) above for any purpose other than Restoration, Borrower hereby authorizes 


- 111 -





and directs Administrative Agent to pay the same to Mezzanine A Lender to the extent that Mezzanine A Lender is entitled to the same under the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine A Loan Documents and to Mezzanine B Lender to the extent that Mezzanine B Lender is entitled to the same under the terms and conditions of the Mezzanine B Loan Documents, and in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrower further (i) agrees that Administrative Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on Mezzanine Lender’s assertion that it is entitled to such Net Proceeds and (ii) hereby releases Administrative Agent and Lenders and indemnifies Administrative Agent and Lenders against any Losses that may be incurred by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders as a result of any Person claiming that Administrative Agent improperly remitted such Net Proceeds to Mezzanine Lender.

Section 8.4    Operating Expense Funds.  On each Monthly Payment Date occurring on and after the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, to the extent funds are available after deposits required under clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 9.3(a) hereof are made in 


- 114 -





accordance with such Section 9.3(a), Borrower shall deposit (or shall cause there to be deposited) into an Eligible Account held by Administrative Agent or Servicer (the “Operating Expense Account”) an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Approved Operating Expenses and Approved Extraordinary Expenses to be incurred by Borrower for the then current Interest Accrual Period (such amount, the “Op Ex Monthly Deposit”).  Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.4 are referred to herein as the “Operating Expense Funds”.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall disburse the Operating Expense Funds to Borrower to pay Approved Operating Expenses and/or Approved Extraordinary Expenses upon Borrower’s request (which such request shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate containing reasonable detail as to the applicable expenses to which the requested disbursement relates and attesting that such expense shall be paid with the requested disbursement).
Section 8.5    Excess Cash Flow Funds.  
(a)    On each Monthly Payment Date occurring on and after the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, Excess Cash Flow for the immediately preceding Interest Accrual Period (each such monthly deposit being herein referred to as the “Monthly Excess Cash Flow Deposits” and the amounts on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Account being herein referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Funds”) will be deposited  into an Eligible Account with Administrative Agent or Servicer (the “Excess Cash Flow Account”) as required by Article IX of this Agreement. 
(b)    Provided no Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing, but a Mezzanine Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing, any Excess Cash Flow Funds remaining in the Excess Cash Flow Account upon the expiration of a Trigger Period shall be promptly disbursed to the Mezzanine A Debt Service Account.  Provided no Trigger Period or Mezzanine A Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing, any Excess Cash Flow Funds remaining in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be promptly disbursed to the Mezzanine B Debt Service Account.  In the event that a Trigger Period no longer is continuing but a Mezzanine A Trigger Period then exists, any Excess Cash Flow Funds remaining in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be promptly disbursed to Mezzanine A Lender. In the event that neither a Trigger Period nor a Mezzanine A Trigger Period is continuing but a Mezzanine B Trigger Period then exists, any Excess Cash Flow Funds remaining in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be promptly disbursed to Mezzanine B Lender.   Provided none of a Trigger Period, a Mezzanine A Trigger Period, or a Mezzanine B Trigger Period has occurred and is continuing, any Excess Cash Flow Funds remaining in the Excess Cash Flow Account shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower upon the expiration of any Trigger Period in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this clause (b) or in the definition of the Low Cash Flow Period, to the extent any funds on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Account were deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Account during any time when a Low Cash Flow Period existed, such funds shall not be disbursed to Borrower (A) prior to the date that the Debt Yield is equal to or greater than (w) during the first year of the initial term of the Loan, 5.50%, (x) during the second year of the initial term of the Loan and the first Extension Period, 5.75%, (y) during the second Extension Period, 6.00% and (z) during the third Extension Period, 6.15%, in each case for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters (B) if any other Trigger Period exists.


- 115 -





Section 8.6    Tax and Insurance Funds.  In addition to the initial deposits with respect to Taxes and, if applicable, Insurance Premiums made by Borrower to Administrative Agent on the Closing Date to be held in Eligible Accounts by Administrative Agent or Servicer and hereinafter respectively referred to as the “Tax Account” and the “Insurance Account”, Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Administrative Agent on each Monthly Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof payable, or reasonably estimated by Administrative Agent to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months assuming that said Taxes are to be paid in full on each Tax Payment Date (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in the Tax Account, and (b) at the option of Administrative Agent, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) hereof, or Administrative Agent shall require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) hereof, one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in the Insurance Account (amounts held in the Tax Account and the Insurance Account are collectively herein referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Funds”).  In the event Administrative Agent shall elect, after the Closing Date, to collect payments in escrow for Insurance Premiums or Taxes, Borrower shall make a True Up Payment with respect to the same into the applicable Reserve Account.  Additionally, if, at any time, Administrative Agent reasonably determines that amounts on deposit in or scheduled to be deposited in (i) the Tax Account will be insufficient to pay all applicable Taxes in full on the Tax Payment Date and/or (ii) the Insurance Account will be insufficient to pay all applicable Insurance Premiums in full on the Insurance Payment Date, Borrower shall make a True Up Payment with respect to such insufficiency into the applicable Reserve Account.  Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent promptly of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Administrative Agent or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority.  Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Tax Account and Insurance Account, respectively, and no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Tax and Insurance Funds to the payment of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 7.1 hereof, Administrative Agent shall, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against the next payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Funds.
Section 8.7    The Accounts Generally.
(a)    Borrower grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and any and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt.  Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute additional security for the Debt.  The provisions of this Section 8.7 (together with the other related provisions of the other Loan Documents) are intended to give Lenders, Administrative Agent and/or Servicer “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral and serve as a 


- 116 -





“security agreement” and a “control agreement” with respect to the same, in each case, within the meaning of the UCC.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Administrative Agent and Lenders, their authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent or as otherwise provided herein.  The funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent.
(b)    Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited therein or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Administrative Agent’s security interest therein.  Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Administrative Agent may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Account or Account Collateral; provided, however, the same shall not otherwise increase Borrower’s obligations or decrease any rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents, other than (i) to a de minimis extent, or (ii) to the extent necessary to correct any scrivener’s error in a manner consistent with the parties’ intention in connection with the Loan.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Administrative Agent or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts, (ii) Administrative Agent may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted Investments pursuant to the applicable terms hereof to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted Investments as Administrative Agent may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other Loan Documents or to enable Administrative Agent and Lenders to exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Account or any Account Collateral, and (iii) Administrative Agent and each Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account Collateral as described in this Agreement and in the Security Instrument, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Security Instrument, may apply the amounts of such Accounts as Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion including, without limitation, payment of the Debt.
(d)    The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the 


- 117 -





other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(e)    Borrower shall indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, actual losses, damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages, punitive damages and special damages except to the extent paid to a third party), obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of counsel; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay for more than one legal counsel in connection with its indemnification hereunder unless an actual or perceived conflict of interest exists or an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party), in each case, for Administrative Agent and Lenders arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, illegal actors or fraud of Administrative Agent, any Lender, or their respective agents or employees.  Borrower shall assign to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that none of Administrative Agent or any Lender may pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f)    Borrower and Administrative Agent (or Servicer on behalf of Administrative Agent) shall maintain each applicable Account as an Eligible Account, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent and Borrower.  In the event that Administrative Agent or Servicer no longer satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall cooperate with Administrative Agent in transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution that satisfies such criteria.  Borrower hereby grants Administrative Agent power of attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with respect to any such transfers and the establishment of accounts with a successor institution, which shall be effective solely to the extent that an Event of Default exists or Borrower has failed to take such action within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s request.
(g)    Interest accrued on any Account other than an Interest Bearing Account shall not be required to be remitted either to Borrower or to any Account and may instead be retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of Servicer; provided, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of any federal, State or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from such Accounts.  Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments as provided for in Section 8.7(h) hereof.  Interest accrued, if any, on sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be remitted to and become part of the applicable Account.  All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable Account shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Account; provided, however, that Administrative Agent may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.


- 118 -





(h)    Sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall, upon Borrower’s written request, be invested in Permitted Investments selected by Administrative Agent or Servicer provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Administrative Agent (or Servicer on behalf of Administrative Agent) for accounts of this size, category and type (Borrower acknowledges that the Servicer or Administrative Agent may only offer as an investment opportunity the right to place funds on deposit in the applicable Accounts in an interest bearing account (bearing interest at the money market rate)), (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, State and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which sums in the Interest Bearing Accounts are required to be disbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  All income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments shall be property of Borrower and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Administrative Agent (or Servicer on behalf of Administrative Agent) to hold any income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments as part of the applicable Interest Bearing Account.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, State or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments.  No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be permitted.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds in the Interest Bearing Accounts.
(i)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to the institution holding each Account for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with such Account, this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by such institution in connection with the administration of such Account.
(j)    Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly paid to (i) in the event the Mezzanine A Loan is outstanding, Mezzanine A Lender; (ii) in the event the Mezzanine B Loan is outstanding and the Mezzanine A Loan is no longer outstanding, Mezzanine B Lender and (iii) in the event both Mezzanine Loans have been indefeasibly paid in full, Borrower.
Section 8.8    Letters of Credit.
(a)    This Section shall apply to any Letters of Credit which are permitted to be delivered pursuant to the express terms and conditions hereof.  Other than in connection with any Letters of Credit delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan, Borrower shall give Administrative Agent no less than ten (10) days’ written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit together with a draft of the proposed Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all of Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.  No party other than Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit.  In the event that any disbursement of any Reserve Funds relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Administrative Agent a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder and (ii) Administrative Agent, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, returning such 


- 119 -





original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the applicable Reserve Funds such that no further sums are required to be deposited in the applicable Reserve Funds.
(b)    Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall have the right, at its option, to draw for the benefit of Lenders on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Administrative Agent may determine.  Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt.  Administrative Agent shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit:  (i) if Administrative Agent has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Administrative Agent has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such termination); (iv) if Administrative Agent has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Eligible Institution within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Administrative Agent.  If Administrative Agent draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Administrative Agent is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Administrative Agent has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
Section 8.9    Unfunded Obligations Reserve Funds.
(a)    Deposits to Unfunded Obligations Account.  Borrower hereby acknowledges that as of the Closing Date, (i) certain Tenants have outstanding free rent credits and operating expenses reimbursement credits pursuant to their Leases in the aggregate amount of $20,849,470.43 as described on Schedule VIII attached hereto (the “Outstanding Lease Credits”) and (ii) Borrower has outstanding tenant improvement allowances and leasing commission and related obligations in the aggregate amount of $29,428,180.51 as described on Schedule VIII attached hereto (the “Outstanding TI/LC Obligations” and, collectively with the Outstanding Lease Credits, the “Unfunded Obligations”).  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall 


- 120 -





deposit into an Eligible Account held by Administrative Agent or Servicer (the “Unfunded Obligations Account”) an amount equal to $50,190,311.24, which amount shall be deposited with and held by Administrative Agent or Servicer to be applied in accordance with Section 8.9(b) below.  Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.9(a) are referred to herein as the “Unfunded Obligations Funds”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) in the event, and for so long as, that the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Waiver Requirements are satisfied, Borrower shall not be required to make any of the deposits described in this Section 8.9(a) into the Unfunded Obligations Account as and when required hereunder and (2) to the extent that Administrative Agent or Servicer is holding any Unfunded Obligations Funds and provided no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent or Servicer shall disburse such Unfunded Obligations Funds to Borrower in the event that the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Waiver Requirements are satisfied.  For the purposes hereof “Unfunded Obligations Reserve Waiver Requirements” shall mean an occurrence of either of (a) Borrower delivering to Administrative Agent a Letter of Credit in an amount not less than the Remaining Unfunded Obligations; or (b) Borrower delivering to Administrative Agent the Unfunded Obligations Guaranty from Guarantor guaranteeing payment of an amount equal to the Remaining Unfunded Obligations.  Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the closing of the Loan Borrower has delivered the Unfunded Obligations Guaranty to Administrative Agent and, therefore, the Unfunded Obligations Reserve Waiver Requirements are satisfied as of the Closing Date.
(b)    Disbursements of Unfunded Obligations Funds.

Restricted Account shall be deemed additional security for the Debt.  Borrower shall pay all sums due under and otherwise comply with the Restricted Account Agreement.

Except for liens (if any) in favor of Bank pursuant to the Restricted Account Agreement, Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Restricted Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

(f)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent may deem necessary.  Administrative Agent is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect the Lenders’ interest in the Property 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 Administrative Agent  for itself or for the account of any Lender, as applicable upon demand.  All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and/or any 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 Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of such Lender, as applicable.  All such actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and/or any 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 Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Administrative Agent therefor.


- 132 -





(g)    Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Administrative Agent and Lenders in their sole discretion, if an Event of Default exists and maturity of the Debt has been accelerated, all payments received by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Debt or any other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(i)    First, to Administrative Agent in an amount equal to any Protective Advances that have not been reimbursed to Administrative Agent, and any other amounts due to Administrative Agent from Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, those costs and expenses due from Borrower pursuant to Sections 17.6 and 17.7 hereof;
(ii)    Second, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) in respect of fees and expenses due from Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents;
(iii)    Third, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) for payments of interest (including, but not limited to, any interest accrued at the Default Rate) on each Individual Loan Commitment, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;
(iv)    Fourth, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) for payments of principal on each Individual Loan Commitment, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders;
(v)    Fifth, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) for amounts due to Lenders pursuant to Article 12 hereof;
(vi)    Sixth, to Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) for payment of all other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, in such order as Lenders may determine in their sole discretion;
(vii)    Seventh, to any Defaulting Lender for payment of any and all amounts due to such Defaulting Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any principal and interest due and payable to such Defaulting Lender; and
(viii)    Eighth, any amount remaining after application as provided above shall be paid to the Borrower or, if Borrower is not legally entitled thereto, the Person legally entitled thereto.

SECONDARY MARKET
Section 11.1    Securitization.  Subject to Sections 11.7 and 18.14 hereof:


- 133 -





(a)    Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, Borrower shall assist Administrative Agent in satisfying the market standards to which Administrative Agent 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 (A) updated financial and other information reasonably available to Borrower with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Mezzanine A Borrower, Mezzanine B Borrower, Guarantor, SPE Component Entity, Mezzanine A 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent with respect to the Loan), provide updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Administrative Agent, Lenders and their respective 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 Property, Property Documents, Borrower and Borrower’s Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent 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 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


- 134 -





(iv)    execute such amendments to the Loan Documents, the Property Documents and Borrower’s or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent 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 or New Mezzanine) (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, Administrative Agent expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, net operating income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Administrative Agent expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Administrative Agent expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.  The financial data or financial statements set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be furnished to Administrative Agent (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Administrative Agent 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 


- 135 -





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 Administrative Agent, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property (which are available to Borrower or can be obtained by Borrower in the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts) if, in connection with a Securitization, Administrative Agent expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, 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 Administrative Agent, Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent.
(f)    In the event Administrative Agent 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, Administrative Agent may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Administrative Agent determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
(g)    In connection with any anticipated Securitization, if requested by Administrative Agent, Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent: 


- 136 -





(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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, Lenders and their 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 Administrative Agent, Lenders and/or their 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 Administrative Agent to Lenders 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 Administrative Agent and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Mezzanine Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property, 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 Administrative Agent and Lenders (and for purposes of this Section 11.2, Administrative Agent and Lenders hereunder shall include their 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 Statement and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the 


- 137 -





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 Administrative Agent, Lenders, 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 Administrative Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent, Lenders, 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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Administrative Agent, Lenders, 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 Administrative Agent, Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent, 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 


- 138 -





any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party).  In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party.  After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 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, Administrative Agent and Lenders 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 Administrative Agent and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after notice thereof from Administrative Agent to Borrower (or such longer period of time agreed to by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’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 Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, Lenders 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.  Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent’s exercise of the New Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the 


- 139 -





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 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 Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent’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 Mezzanine Borrowers to execute such amendments to the applicable Mezzanine Loan Documents)  and Borrower’s, Mezzanine A Borrower’s, Mezzanine B Borrower’s, any SPE Component Entity’s or any Mezzanine SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent, execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be required by Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent or the Rating Agencies.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply all payments to the Debt during the continuance of an Event of Default in such order as Administrative Agent determines in its sole discretion and to require that (x) no sums shall be paid to Mezzanine Lenders under the Mezzanine Loans 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 Loans and the New Mezzanine Loan.  Provided no Event of Default exists, prepayments of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loans 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 A Loan, the Mezzanine A Loan and the New Mezzanine Loan shall be separate, distinct and in addition to the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan.
Section 11.7    Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 11 (but subject to Section 18.26 below), 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 or Section 11.6 above other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel, accountants and consultants.
ARTICLE 12 
 
INDEMNIFICATIONS
Section 12.1    General Indemnification.  Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and

directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any one or more of the following: (a) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (b) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or any part thereof or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (c) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof; (d) any failure of the Property (or any portion thereof) to be in compliance with any applicable Legal Requirements; (e) any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Administrative Agent or any Lender by reason of any alleged obligations or undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants, or agreements contained in any Lease, management agreement or any Property Document; (f) the payment of any commission, charge or brokerage fee to anyone (other than a broker or other agent retained by Administrative Agent or any Lender) which may be payable in connection with the funding of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument; and/or (g) the holding or investing of the funds on deposit in the Accounts or the performance of any work or the disbursement of funds in each case in connection with the Accounts (the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation hereunder (x) to the extent that any Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent, Lenders or any other Indemnified Party or (y) any consequential, punitive and special damages except to the extent paid to a third party.  Any amounts payable to Administrative Agent or Lenders by reason of the application of this Section 12.1 shall become due and payable on the date that is ten (10) days after Borrower receives written notice from Administrative Agent that such Losses were sustained by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date that is ten (10) days after the date Borrower receives notice from Administrative Agent that such Losses were sustained by Administrative Agent or Lenders  until such time as such amounts are paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Borrower shall have no liability for any Indemnified Liabilities imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties to the extent that Borrower proves that such Indemnified Liabilities were caused by actions, conditions or events that first occurred or arose after the date that (i) Administrative Agent or Lender (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s designee of a deed in lieu of foreclosure) actually acquired title to the Property pursuant to a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Security Instrument that has not been set aside, rescinded or invalidated, whereby Borrower is no longer the owner of the Property and to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities were not caused by the actions of Borrower or any Affiliate or agent of Borrower, or (ii) Mezzanine A Lender (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or Mezzanine A Lender’s designee of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure) actually acquired title to the direct ownership interests in Borrower pursuant to a foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement) or an assignment in lieu of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Mezzanine A Loan Agreement) that has not been set aside, rescinded or invalidated, whereby Mezzanine A Borrower is no longer the 100% owner of Borrower and that such Indemnified Liabilities were not caused by the actions of Mezzanine A Borrower or any Affiliate or agent of Mezzanine A Borrower, or (iii) Mezzanine B Lender (or any purchaser at a foreclosure sale or Mezzanine B Lender’s designee of an assignment in lieu of foreclosure) actually acquired title to 


- 141 -





the direct ownership interests in Mezzanine A Borrower pursuant to a foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement) or an assignment in lieu of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreement (as defined in the Mezzanine B Loan Agreement) that has not been set aside, rescinded or invalidated, whereby Mezzanine B Borrower is no longer the 100% owner of Mezzanine A Borrower and that such Indemnified Liabilities were not caused by the actions of Mezzanine  B Borrower or any Affiliate or agent of Mezzanine B Borrower.

Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any tax on the making and/or recording of the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents (but excluding any income, franchise or other similar taxes imposed on Administrative Agent and/or Lenders).
Section 12.3    ERISA Indemnification.  Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in the investigation, defense, and settlement of Losses incurred in correcting any prohibited transaction, or in the sale of a prohibited loan, and in obtaining any individual prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA that may be required, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion) that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under Sections 3.7 or 4.19 of this Agreement.
Section 12.4    Duty to Defend, Legal Fees and Other Fees and Expenses.

Section 14.2    Funds Transfer Disbursements.  
(a)    Generally.  Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Loan made by Lenders and any Reserve Funds being disbursed to Borrower 


- 147 -





pursuant to Article 8 hereof as requested by an authorized representative of Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form.  Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and reasonably accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower.  Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by Borrower.  Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower.  If Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower.  To the extent Borrower then has knowledge of any such errors, Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such transfer.
(b)    Funds Transfer.  Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made.  Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or any Lender in its reasonable discretion or prohibited by any Governmental Authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline, or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any applicable law or regulation.
(c)    Limitation of Liability.  Except to the extent expressly provided herein, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) Administrative Agent, such Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly set forth herein.
Section 14.3    Electronic Delivery of Certain Information.  If requested by Administrative Agent, documents required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents shall be delivered, in addition to the method set forth in Section 14.1 above, by 


- 148 -





electronic communication and delivery, including the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which Administrative Agent and each Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as www.Edgar.com or a website sponsored or hosted by Administrative Agent), provided that no Lender has notified Administrative Agent that it cannot or does not want to receive electronic communications.  Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically by Borrower may be posted by Administrative Agent on a commercial website and Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of said posting and shall provide a link thereto.  It being understood that the posting of said documents shall constitute notice and delivery of such documents to Lenders by Administrative Agent as required hereunder and delivery shall be deemed properly given pursuant to Section 14.1 as of the date of said posting by Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance Borrower shall be required to provide paper copies of any Officer’s Certificate to Administrative Agent and shall deliver paper copies of all documents to Administrative Agent until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by Administrative Agent (on behalf of Lenders).  Except for the Officer’s Certificate, Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to maintain paper copies of the documents delivered electronically and, in any event, shall have no responsibility to monitor compliance by Borrower with any such request for delivery.  Each Lender shall be solely responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic documents.
Section 14.4    Possession of Documents.  Each Lender shall maintain possession of its own Note.  Administrative Agent shall hold all other Loan Documents and related documents in its possession and maintain separate records and accounts with respect to the Loan, reflecting the interests of Lenders in the Loan, and shall permit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Lender) and their representatives access at all reasonable times during normal business hours to inspect such Loan Documents, related documents, records and accounts.

Borrower, on demand, will execute and deliver, and in the event it shall fail to so execute and deliver within five (5) Business Days following written notice from Administrative Agent, hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to execute in the name of Borrower or without the signature of Borrower to the extent Administrative Agent may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements to evidence more effectively perfect the security interest of Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders in the Property.  Borrower grants to Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders at law 


- 150 -





and in equity, including without limitation, such rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Section 15.3; provided, however, Administrative Agent shall not execute any such documents under such power unless an Event of Default exists or Borrower has failed to do so after five (5) days written notice has been given to Borrower by Administrative Agent of Administrative Agent’s interest to exercise its rights under such power.
Section 15.4    Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.
(a)    If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Administrative Agent’s, for the benefit of Lenders, interest in the Property, Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  If Administrative Agent is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Administrative Agent or Lenders or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Administrative Agent shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred twenty (120) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable without premium or penalty.
(b)    Intentionally omitted.

WAIVERS

Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Administrative Agent and Lenders 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.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
Section 16.2    Modification, Waiver, Consents and Approvals in Writing.


- 151 -





Subject to Section 18.18(d), no modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and no consent to any departure by Borrower from any of the requirements or provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver, consent or approval shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Administrative Agent or any Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Administrative Agent and Lenders agree that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; RELATIONS AMONG LENDERS
Section 18.1    Appointment and Authorization.  Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, full and complete copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof (including, without limitation, all certificates, policies, endorsements, documents and materials relating to the Borrower’s insurance coverage pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof) that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by any Borrower Party or any Affiliate thereof, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement of the Loan Documents or collection of the Debt), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Debt; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the 


- 164 -





automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise or may refrain from exercising any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document during the continuance of an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise and unless and until Administrative Agent shall have received directions from the Requisite Lenders, Administrative Agent may take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to any existing Event of Default as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion; provided that in the event Administrative Agent shall not have received direction from the Requisite Lenders with respect to commencing, or refraining from commencing, the exercise of remedies pursuant to this Agreement prior to the date that is sixty (60) days following the date on which the Administrative Agent has provided notice to the Lenders of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall commence the exercise of remedies in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Furthermore, and without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof, or where applicable, the Requisite Lenders or all the Lenders.
Section 18.2    Citi as Lender.  Citi, as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citi in each case in its individual capacity.  Citi and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.  Further, the Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Citi or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower, other Borrower Parties and affiliates thereof (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them unless such information was delivered to Citi or any of its affiliates in such Person’s capacity as the Administrative Agent.
Section 18.3    Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.
(a)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to the Property or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Property granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.
(b)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon the Property (i) upon indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Debt (other than any inchoate 


- 165 -





surviving obligations); (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide).  Upon request by the Administrative Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release the Property pursuant to this Section.
(c)    Upon any sale of the Property which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of (and release of record) the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Property that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty.  In the event of any sale or transfer of the Property, or any foreclosure with respect to the Property, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure (including, without limitation, any transfer or similar taxes incurred in connection with any such sale or transfer of the Property).
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Property exists or is owned by the Borrower, any other Borrower Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Property, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein), in its sole discretion (subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein), and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)    The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Percentage Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances with respect to the Property up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay Taxes imposed upon the Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay Insurance Premiums related to the Property; and (iii) $1,000,000.  Protective Advances in excess of said sum for the Property shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
Section 18.4    Post-Foreclosure Plans.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall obtain an appraisal of the Property, and in connection with any foreclosure proceedings, the Administrative Agent shall make an initial credit bid and 


- 166 -





subsequent credit bids in amounts not to exceed the lesser of (a) the fair market value of the Property as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent after taking into consideration such appraisal, and (b) the total outstanding amount of the Debt.  If all or any portion of the Property is acquired by the Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Debt, the title to the Property, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for the Property (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders.  In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Property acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a property manager, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of the Property, and the collecting of Rents and other sums from the Property and paying the expenses of such Property.  Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Property, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan.  Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its Percentage Share of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of the Property.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for the Property, and each Lender shall promptly (but no later than five (5) Business Days from receipt of such statement) contribute its Percentage Share of any operating loss for the Property, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan.  To the extent there is net operating income from the Property, the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders.  All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Percentage Shares.  The Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to the Property is obtained by the Administrative Agent or its nominee, the Property will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated as soon as practicable.  The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell the Property, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lenders.
Section 18.5    Approval of Lenders.  All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.  Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it 


- 167 -





specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination; provided, however, that such deemed consent shall not apply to the matters set forth in Section 18.18(b).
Section 18.6    Notice of Defaults.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge of such Default or Event of Default or has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  If any Lender (excluding any Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”.  Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.  For purposes of this Section 18.6, the actual knowledge of Administrative Agent shall be deemed to mean the actual collective knowledge of the officers, directors and employees of Administrative Agent that are primarily and directly responsible for the administration and servicing of the Loan.
Section 18.7    Administrative Agent’s Reliance.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower or any other Borrower Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person or shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or the Property covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any the Property; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing 


- 168 -





(which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 18.8    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.  Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so, if any) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Percentage Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as applicable, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Percentage Share of any out‐of‐pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to the Administrative Agent) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect the Debt, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out‐of‐pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.


- 169 -





Section 18.9    Lender Credit Decision, Etc.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys‐in‐fact or other affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any Affiliate of Borrower and/or any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of Borrower, the other Borrower Parties, and Affiliates of Borrower and/or any Borrower Party, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of Borrower, the other Borrower Parties, and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Borrower Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any Affiliate of Borrower and/or any other Borrower Party.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys‐in‐fact or other Affiliates.  Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender except as may otherwise be agreed to in writing between such counsel and such Lender and consented to by Administrative Agent.
Section 18.10    Successor Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder 


- 170 -





by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 18 shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.  Each prior Administrative Agent will promptly upon request of the successor Administrative Agent and at the sole cost of Lenders execute and deliver, in recordable form, any assignment or other instrument necessary to give effect to, or evidence, its resignation and the transfer of its rights and duties in its capacity as the Administrative Agent hereunder.
Section 18.11    Titled Parties.  Lead Arranger assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The title given to the Lead Arranger is solely honorific and implies no fiduciary responsibility on the part of Lead Arranger to Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Borrower or any other Borrower Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Lead Arranger any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Lead Arranger to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 18.12    Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc.  Subject to Section 18.18(d), (i) no amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to all of the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent to the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) no waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein, and (iii) no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
Section 18.13    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    If for any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall (i) fail or refuse to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such obligation and such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice to such Lender from Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section 18.13(a) (provided, that, with respect to any such obligation that cannot be satisfied by the payment of a sum of money, such Lender shall not be deemed a Defaulting Lender unless such failure continues for five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent shall have sent such Lender a second written notice of such Lender’s continuing failure to perform such obligation in accordance with the terms of this Section 


- 171 -





18.13(a)) or (ii) become the subject of Bail-In Action, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Administrative Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, Requisite Lenders or unanimous Lender consent, as applicable, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal or while it is subject of Bail-In Action.  Any notice sent by Administrative Agent to a Lender pursuant to this Section 18.13(a) shall be sent in accordance with Section 14.1 hereof and shall be marked in bold lettering with the following language:  “YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED (AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT), THE BORROWER AND THE LENDERS THERETO” and the envelope containing such written request shall have been marked “PRIORITY”.
(b)    If for any reason a Lender fails to make timely payment to the Administrative Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Administrative Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Administrative Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender and shall be held by the Administrative Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender upon the Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.  Furthermore, a Defaulting Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders from any claim, loss, or costs incurred by Administrative Agent and/or the other Lenders as a result of a Defaulting Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any and all additional losses, damages, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) incurred by Administrative Agent and any Lender as a result of and/or in connection with (i) any enforcement action brought by Administrative Agent against a Defaulting Lender and (ii) any action brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders. The indemnification provided above shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 18.14    Participations.
(a)    Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the portion of the Debt owing to such Lender.  Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the 


- 172 -





Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Individual Loan Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loan or portions thereof owing to such Lender, or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon.  An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by Section 18.15 below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this Section 18.14.  Subject to paragraph (b) of this Section 18.14, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Subsections 2.5(b)(v), (vi), (vii), and (viii) to the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 18.15.  Except as set forth in Section 18.26 below, no Borrower Party shall be liable or responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Participant, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing in connection with any transaction contemplated pursuant to this Section 18.14.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(b)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Subsection 2.5(b)(v), (vi), (vii), or (viii) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent and such written consent specifically includes an acknowledgement to the effect that the Participant will be entitled to a greater payment under the applicable Subsection(s) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.5(b)(v) unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.5(b)(ix) and (xi) as though it were a Lender.
Section 18.15    Assignments.


- 173 -





(a)    Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however, (i) unless otherwise waived by Administrative Agent, any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $15,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof such that, after giving effect to such assignment, the Assignee shall have an Individual Loan Commitment having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $15,000,000, (ii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, (iii) if the Eligible Assignee is an Existing Lender or an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, the consent of Administrative Agent shall not be required, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted without the consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and (v) except as set forth in Section 18.26 below, no Borrower Party shall be liable or responsible for any costs or expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Assignee, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing in connection with any transaction contemplated pursuant to this Section 18.15.  Upon execution and delivery of such instrument, payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee and receipt of any consent required hereunder, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with an Individual Loan Commitment as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required.  Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this Section 18.15 and if requested by the transferee Lender and/or the transferor Lender, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so new substitute Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender by Borrower, as appropriate.  In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500.00 for the account of Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any of their respective affiliates.
(b)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing Sections, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of the foregoing Sections, any Lender may at any time and from time to time collaterally assign its interests in all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents without the Administrative

Agent’s consent to (i) a Federal Reserve Bank or (ii) any Person which is a trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees) of a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by an eligible German bank (Pfandbriefbanken), the bondholders (as a collective whole) thereof, or by any other Person otherwise permitted to issue covered mortgage bonds (Hypothekenpfandbriefe) under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, or any successor or substitute legislation; provided that any such Federal Reserve Bank or Person’s right to be a “Lender” in lieu of the Lender which assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred its interest to such Person shall be subject to all consents in Section 18.15(a).  No such pledge, assignment or transfer shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.  Borrower shall and shall cause each other Borrower Party (other than Guarantor) to execute within fifteen (15) Business Days after request therefor is made by Administrative Agent (on behalf of any Lender), any documents or any amendments, amendments and restatements and/or modifications to any Loan Documents (including, without limitation, amended, amended and restated, modified and/or additional promissory notes) and/or estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Agent in order to make the Loan Documents eligible under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, or any substitute or successor legislation, provided that in no event shall any such document or any amendment, amendment and restatement and/or modification and/or estoppel certificate reduce any Borrower Party’s rights or increase any Borrower Party’s obligations, in either case, other than to a de minimis or ministerial extent.

Subject in all events to the provisions of Section 17.11(b), a 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 Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants).

(c)    Requisite Lender Consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein or in the other Loan Documents to the contrary, no Event of Default shall be waivable (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), unless in writing, and signed by the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent, at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders).
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) to the extent that this Agreement or the other Loan Documents condition a consent or approval upon Requisite Lenders’ or unanimous Lenders’ consent, it is agreed to hereunder that Borrower shall make all requests of such consent and approval of Administrative Agent (notwithstanding that Requisite Lenders’ or unanimous Lenders’ consent is required) and all communication with the Lenders with respect to such matter which Borrower has made a request shall be to and from the Administrative Agent, (ii) each Borrower Party shall be entitled to rely on any and all written communications of Administrative Agent with respect to any determinations or elections, exercise of rights and the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of the Lenders in all circumstances without the obligation or necessity of making any inquiry of any of the individual Lenders as to the authority of Administrative Agent with respect to such matter, and (iii) each Borrower Party shall be entitled to deal with Administrative Agent as the exclusive representative of the Lenders on all matters.  It is expressly understood that no Borrower Party shall be obligated or have the right to communicate or interface directly with any Lender or Lenders concerning any consents, approvals, modifications or amendments or waivers hereunder.

Section 18.21    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 18.22    Loan Pledgees.

Section 18.23    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 18.24    Surveillance.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
1.    This Assignment and Assumption Agreement (this “Agreement”) relates to the Loan Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) dated _____________ 2017 among (“Borrower”), the lender(s) party thereto (each a “Lender” and, collectively, “Lenders”) and Administrative Agent. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

3.    The aggregate outstanding principal amount under Assignor’s Individual Loan Commitment at the commencement of business on the date hereof is $_______________.
4.    Assignor desires to assign to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in respect of a portion of Assignor’s Individual Loan Commitment and the loan made pursuant thereto, such portion being in an amount equal to $_______________ (the “Assigned Loan and Commitment”), of which $_______________ is currently outstanding and Assignee desires to accept assignment of such rights and assume the corresponding obligations from Assignor on such terms.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    Assignment. Assignor hereby assigns and sells to Assignee all of the rights of Assignor under the Loan Agreement in and to the Assigned Loan and Commitment, and Assignee hereby accepts such assignment from Assignor and assumes all of the obligations of Assignor under the Loan Agreement with respect to the Assigned Loan and Commitment. Upon the execution and delivery hereof by Assignor, Assignee, Administrative Agent (and, if applicable, Borrower), and the payment of the amount specified in Section 2 hereof required to be paid on the date hereof, (1) Assignee shall, as of the commencement of business on the date hereof, succeed to the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Agreement with an Individual Loan Commitment in an amount equal to the Assigned Loan and Commitment and (2) the Individual Loan Commitment of Assignor shall, as of the commencement of business on the date hereof, be reduced correspondingly and Assignor released from its obligations under the Loan Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by Assignee. Assignor represents and warrants that it (x) owns the Assigned Loan 







and Commitment free and clear of all liens and other encumbrances and (y) is legally authorized to enter into and perform this Agreement. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the assignment provided for herein shall be without representation or warranty by, or recourse to, Assignor.
SECTION 2.    Payments. As consideration for the assignment and sale contemplated in Section 1 hereof, Assignee shall pay to Assignor on the date hereof, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount under the Assigned Loan and Commitment recited in paragraph 4 of the Preliminary Statement above. Each of Assignor and Assignee hereby agrees that if it receives any amount under the Loan Agreement which is for the account of the other party hereto, it shall receive the same for the account of such other party to the extent of such other party’s interest therein and shall promptly pay the same to such other party.
SECTION 3.    Consents; Execution and Delivery of Note. This Agreement is conditioned upon the consent of Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18.15 of the Loan Agreement. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower (if required) and Administrative Agent is evidence of this consent. Pursuant to Section 18.15 of the Loan Agreement, Borrower has agreed to execute and deliver Notes payable to Assignee and Assignor to evidence the assignment and assumption provided for herein. Assignee has designated as its Lending Office, and as its address for notices, the office identified as such below.
SECTION 4.    Non-Reliance on Assignor. Assignor makes no representation or warranty in connection with, and shall have no responsibility with respect to, the solvency, financial condition, or statements of Borrower or any other party to any Loan Document, or the validity and enforceability of the obligations of Borrower or any other party to a Loan Document in respect of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. Assignee acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on Assignor, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis of the collateral for the Loan, credit analysis of the Borrower Parties and decision to enter into this Agreement and will continue to be responsible for making its own independent appraisal of the collateral for the Loan and of the business, affairs and financial condition of Borrower and the other parties to the Loan Documents.
SECTION 5.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to New York’s principles of conflicts of law).
SECTION 6.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.
SECTION 7.    Certain Representations and Agreements by Assignee. Assignee represents that it is legally authorized to enter into and perform this Agreement. In addition, Assignee hereby represents that it is entitled to receive any payments to be made to it under the Loan Agreement or hereunder without the withholding of any tax and agrees to furnish the evidence of such exemption as specified therein and otherwise to comply with the provisions of Section 2.5(b) of the Loan Agreement.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT
THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter referred to as “Agreement”) made this ___ day of _______________, _______, among ______________________________ (together with its successors, assigns, designees and/or nominees, collectively hereinafter referred to as “Lender”), ______________________________ (hereinafter referred to as “Tenant”), and ___________________________, a _______________ (hereinafter referred to as “Landlord”).
R E C I T A L S:
A.    Tenant is the tenant and lessee under a certain ____________________, as amended by_____________________ (as the same may now or hereafter be amended, restated, replaced or otherwise modified, collectively, the “Lease”) relating to the premises described in the Lease (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”), located at the real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”).
B.    Lender has made or will make a loan to Landlord (hereinafter referred to as the “Loan”), which such Loan is (i) secured by a deed of trust, mortgage or security deed (as the same may be amended, restated, extended, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Mortgage”) and an assignment of leases and rents (as the same may be amended, restated, extended, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Assignment of Leases”), in each case,  from Landlord to Lender covering the Property including the Premises and (ii) evidenced by certain other documents and instruments by and among Lender and Landlord, among others (the same, together with the Mortgage and Assignment of Leases, collectively, the “Loan Documents”).
C.    Tenant has agreed that the Lease shall be subject and subordinate to the Loan and Loan Documents, provided Tenant is assured of continued occupancy of the Premises under the terms of the Lease.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable considerations, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and notwithstanding anything in the Lease to the contrary, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1.    Subordination and Consent.  Lender, Tenant and Landlord do hereby covenant and agree that the Lease with all rights, options, liens and charges created thereby (including, without limitation, any option or rights contained in the Lease, or otherwise existing, to acquire 







any or all of the Premises, or any superior leasehold interest therein), is and shall continue to be subject and subordinate in all respects to the lien and terms of the Loan Documents, and to any renewals, modifications, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all advancements made thereunder.  Tenant acknowledges that Landlord will execute and deliver to Lender an assignment of the Lease as security for the Loan, and Tenant hereby expressly consents to such assignment.  Tenant agrees that if there is a default by Landlord in the performance and observance of any of the terms of such Loan, Lender may, at its option, demand all rents due under the Lease be paid by Tenant directly to Lender at the address specified below, or as otherwise specified by Lender.  Tenant agrees that upon Lender’s written request for payment of rent directly to Lender, Tenant will timely remit any and all payments due under the Lease directly to, and payable to the order of, Lender.  Such payments to Lender will constitute performance of Tenant’s payment obligations under the Lease.


2.    Non-Disturbance.  Lender does hereby agree with Tenant that, in the event Lender succeeds to Landlord’s interest in the Premises by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, so long as Tenant complies with and performs its obligations under the Lease, (a) the Lease shall continue in full force and effect as a direct Lease between Lender and Tenant, upon and subject to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease, for the balance of the term of the Lease, and Lender will not disturb the possession of Tenant, and (b) the Premises shall be subject to the Lease and Lender shall recognize Tenant as the tenant of the Premises for the remainder of the term of the Lease in accordance with the provisions thereof; provided, however, that Lender shall not be:


(i)subject to any claims, offsets or defenses which Tenant might have against any prior landlord (including Landlord);


(ii)liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Landlord);


(iii)bound by any rent or additional rent which Tenant might have paid for more than the current month or any security deposit or other prepaid charge paid to any prior landlord (including Landlord);


(iv)bound by any amendment or modification of the Lease made without its written consent; or


(v)liable for any deposit that Tenant may have given to any previous landlord (including Landlord) which has not, as such, been transferred to Lender.


Nothing contained herein shall prevent Lender from naming Tenant in any foreclosure or other action or proceeding initiated by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents to the extent necessary under applicable law in order for Lender to avail itself of and complete the foreclosure or other remedy.  Tenant acknowledges and agrees that it has no right or option of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, to purchase the Premises or the Property, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, and to the extent that Tenant has had, or hereafter acquires, any such right or option, the same is hereby acknowledged to be subject and subordinate to the lien and terms of the Loan Documents and is hereby waived and released as against Lender.







3.    Attornment.  Tenant does hereby agree with Lender that, in the event Lender becomes the owner of the Property by foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, then Tenant shall attorn to and recognize Lender as the landlord under the Lease for the remainder of the term thereof, and Tenant shall perform and observe its obligations thereunder, subject only to the terms and conditions of the Lease.  Tenant further covenants and agrees to execute and deliver upon request of Lender an appropriate agreement of attornment to Lender and any subsequent titleholder of the Premises.


4.    Lease Defaults.  In the event Landlord shall fail to perform or observe any of the terms, conditions or agreements in the Lease, Tenant shall give written notice thereof to Lender and Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cure such default.  Tenant shall not take any action with respect to such default under the Lease, including without limitation any action in order to terminate, rescind or avoid the Lease or to withhold any rent or other monetary obligations thereunder, for a period of thirty (30) days following receipt of such written notice by Lender; provided, however, that in the case of any default which cannot with diligence be cured within said thirty (30) day period, if Lender shall proceed promptly to cure such default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with diligence and continuity, the time within which such default may be cured shall be extended for such period as may be necessary to complete the curing of such default with diligence and continuity.


5.    Obligations and Liability of Lender.  Lender shall have no obligations nor incur any liability with respect to any warranties of any nature whatsoever, whether pursuant to the Lease or otherwise, including, without limitation, any warranties respecting use, compliance with zoning, hazardous wastes or environmental laws, Landlord’s title, Landlord’s authority, habitability, fitness for purpose or possession.  Furthermore, in the event that Lender shall acquire Landlord’s interest in the Property, Lender shall have no obligation, nor incur any liability, beyond Lender’s then equity interest, if any, in the Property, and Tenant shall look exclusively to such equity interest of Lender, if any, in the Property for the payment and discharge of any obligations or liability imposed upon Lender hereunder, under the Lease (or under any new lease with Tenant), and Lender is hereby released and relieved of any other obligations or liability hereunder, under the Lease or under any such new lease.  Lender shall not, either by virtue of the Loan Documents or this Agreement, be or become a mortgagee in possession or be or become subject to any liability or obligation under the Lease or otherwise until Lender shall have acquired the Landlord’s interest in the Property and then such liability or obligation of Lender under the Lease (as modified by the terms of this Agreement) shall extend only to those liability or obligations accruing subsequent to the date that Lender has acquired Landlord’s interest in the Property.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Loan Documents nor this Agreement shall, prior to Lender’s acquisition of Landlord’s interest in the Property, operate to place responsibility for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Lender or impose upon Lender responsibility for the carrying out of any of the terms or conditions of the Lease, and Lender shall not be responsible or liable for any waste committed on either the Premises or the Property by any party whatsoever, for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of either the Premises or the Property.


6.    Severability.  If any portion or portions of this Agreement shall be held invalid or inoperative, then all of the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect, and, so far as 







is reasonable and possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion or portions held to be invalid or inoperative.


7.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of ___________.


8.    Notices.  So long as the Mortgage remains outstanding and unsatisfied, Tenant will mail or deliver to Lender, at the address and in the manner hereinbelow provided, a copy of all notices permitted or required to be given to the Landlord by Tenant under and pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Lease.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to the provisions hereof shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if (i) mailed to the addressee by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, (ii) by delivering same in person to the addressee, or (iii) by delivery to a third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery to the office of the addressee with proof of delivery.  Notice so given shall be effective, as applicable, upon (i) the third (3rd) day following the day such notice is deposited with the U.S. Postal Service, (ii) delivery to the addressee, or (iii) upon delivery to such third party delivery service.  Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee.  For purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be:
