Each Plan, and, to the actual knowledge of each Borrower, each Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance in all material respects with, and has been administered in all material respects in compliance with, its terms and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other federal or state law.  There are no pending issues or claims before the Internal Revenue Service, the United States Department of Labor or any court of competent jurisdiction related to any Plan or Welfare Plan.  No ERISA Event has occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances, in connection with any Plan or Welfare Plan under which any Borrower or, to the best knowledge of any Borrower, any ERISA Affiliate, directly or indirectly (through an indemnification agreement or otherwise), is reasonably likely to be subject to any material risk of liability under Section 409 or 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

Each Borrower currently complies with ERISA.

On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount that Lender reasonably estimates will be required to make the next annual payment of Property Impositions, with respect to each Property, multiplied by the number of whole or partial months that have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent due date for such Property Impositions.  Following the Closing Date, on each Payment Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount that Lender reasonably estimates will be required to pay the next annual payment of Property Impositions referred to in this Section with respect to each Property.  The purpose of these provisions is to provide Lender with sufficient funds on hand for Lender or Servicer to pay all such Property Impositions charges thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due.  If Lender determines that the funds escrowed hereunder are, or will be, insufficient to pay such Property Impositions, Borrowers shall pay such additional sums as Lender shall reasonably determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges reasonably requested by Lender.  Provided that no Event of Default exists and is continuing, Lender shall apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such Property Impositions when due, but in no event will Lender be liable for any interest on any amount so deposited, and any amount so deposited may be held and commingled with Lender’s own funds.  If an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply such funds to the payment of any Property Impositions or the payment of any Secured Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect or retain the same as collateral for the Secured Obligations, in its sole discretion.

C.Intangible Taxes.  If by reason of any statutory or constitutional amendment or judicial decision adopted or rendered after the date hereof, any Imposition is imposed against the Loan, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, Lender, or any interest of Lender in any real or personal property encumbered by the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall pay such Imposition before delinquency in accordance with Section 2.15 of this Agreement 

43



 

and shall indemnify Lender against all loss, expense, or diminution of income in connection therewith.  In the event Borrowers are unable to do so, either for economic reasons or because the legal provisions or decisions creating such Imposition forbid Borrowers from doing so, then the Loan will, at Lender’s option, become due and payable in full upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrowers and Borrowers shall repay the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan Amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest, together with all other amounts outstanding under the Loan Documents, in accordance with the prepayment provisions set forth in Section 2.6 and the Note.

D.Right to Contest.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, Borrowers shall not be deemed to be in default solely by reason of Borrowers’ failure to pay any Imposition so long as, in Lender’s judgment, each of the following conditions is satisfied:

(i)Borrowers are engaged in and diligently pursuing in good faith administrative or judicial proceedings appropriate to contest the validity or amount of such Impositions;

(ii)Borrowers’ payment of such Imposition would materially prejudice Borrowers’ prospects for success in such proceedings;

(iii)Nonpayment of such Imposition will not result in the loss or forfeiture of any Property or other Collateral encumbered by the Loan Documents or any interest of Lender therein; and

(iv)Borrowers deposit with Lender, as security for such payment that may ultimately be required, a sum equal to the amount of the disputed Imposition plus the interest, penalties, advertising charges, and other costs that Lender estimates are likely to become payable if Borrowers’ contest is unsuccessful, or posts a bond with the applicable taxing authority having the same effect. For the avoidance of doubt, the funds required to be deposited with Lender under this paragraph (iv) shall be in addition to all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges that are not being contested and that are subject to the deposit provisions of Section 5.1.2(B) hereof.

If Lender determines that any one or more of such conditions is not satisfied or is no longer satisfied, Borrowers shall pay the Imposition in question, together with any interest and penalties thereon, within ten (10) days after Lender gives notice of such determination.

E.Mechanic’s Liens.  Borrowers shall keep each Property free and clear of all Liens and claims of Liens by contractors, subcontractors, mechanics, laborers, materialmen, and other such Persons, and will cause any recorded statement of any such Lien to be released of record or bonded off, within thirty (30) days after Borrower’s actual notice of the recording thereof. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, however, Borrower shall not be deemed to be in default under this Section if and so long as Borrowers (a) contest in good faith the validity or amount of any asserted Lien and diligently prosecutes or defends an action appropriate to obtain a binding determination of the disputed matter, and (b) provide Lender with such security as Lender may reasonably require to protect Lender against all loss, damage, and expense, including attorneys’ fees, which Lender might incur if the asserted Lien is determined to be valid and, as may be required, to remove or bond off any such Lien, if not bonded by Borrowers.  

44



 

5.1.3Litigation.  Borrowers shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened (in writing) against (i) any Borrower, any Property or the other Collateral, and (ii) to the extent it could have a Material Adverse Effect, any Guarantor or any other Borrower Control Person.

5.1.4General Indemnity.

B.Borrowers shall, at their 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 of the Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any tax on the making and/or recording of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents (but excluding gross receipts, income, franchise and capital stock taxes).  Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, reimburse the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses imposed upon or incurred by or asserted against any of the Indemnified Parties and directly or indirectly arising out of or in any way relating to any tax on the making and/or recording of this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents (but excluding gross receipts, income, franchise and capital stock taxes).

C.Borrowers shall, at their sole cost and expense, protect, defend, indemnify, release and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses (including, without limitation, excise taxes, 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 Lender’s reasonable discretion) that the Indemnified Parties may 

46



 

incur, directly or indirectly, as a result of a default under the covenants of Borrower with respect to ERISA and employee benefits plans contained herein, including, without limitation, the breach by any Borrower of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.1.18 or the breach by any Borrower of any covenant contained in Section 5.1.15, Section 6.1.16 and/or Section 6.1.17.

In case any such claim is made or action is brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from Borrowers, Borrowers shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that Borrowers may wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; and, upon receipt of notice from Borrowers to such Indemnified Party of Borrowers’ election so to assume the defense of such claim or action and only upon approval by the Indemnified Party of such counsel (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Borrowers shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5.1.4 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof.

5.1.16Property and Related Insurance.

A.Coverages Required.  Borrowers shall maintain or cause to be maintained, with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or associations satisfactory to Lender, all insurance required under the terms of the Insurance Agreement, and shall comply with each and every covenant and agreement contained in such Insurance Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Insurance Agreement. Borrowers shall provide Lender with reasonably satisfactory evidence of the payment of the premiums of all such insurance within five (5) Business Days following any such payment.

B.Renewal Policies.  Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of each insurance policy required pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender either an appropriate renewal policy or replacement policy (or a certified copy thereof) that in each case satisfies the requirements of the Insurance Agreement. 

C.Deposit for Premiums.  On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount that Lender estimates will be required to make 

55



 

the next annual payments of the premiums for the policies of insurance referred to in this Section, multiplied by the number of whole and partial months which have elapsed since the date one month prior to the most recent policy anniversary date for each such policy.  On each Payment Date thereafter, Borrowers shall deposit an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount that Lender estimates will be required to pay the next required annual premium for each insurance policy referred to in this Section.  The purpose of these provisions is to provide Lender with sufficient funds on hand to pay all such premiums thirty (30) days before the date on which they become past due.  If Lender, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the funds escrowed hereunder are, or will be, insufficient, Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days following Borrowers’ receipt of written demand, pay such additional sums as Lender shall determine necessary and shall pay any increased monthly charges as so requested by Lender.  Provided that no Event of Default exists and is then continuing, Lender shall apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such insurance premiums when due, but in no event will Lender be liable for any interest on any amounts so deposited, and the money so received may be held and commingled with Lender’s own funds.  If an Event of Default exists, Lender may apply such funds to the payment of such insurance premiums, to the payment of any of the Secured Obligations in such order as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion or may retain the same as Security for the Secured Obligations, in its sole discretion.

D.Application of Hazard Insurance Proceeds.  Borrowers shall after learning thereof promptly notify Lender of any damage or casualty to all or any portion of any Property or Chattels.  Lender may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial or arbitration proceedings concerning any insurance proceeds that may be payable as a result of such casualty or damage, and may, in Lender’s sole discretion, compromise or settle, in the names of both Borrowers and Lender, any claim for any such insurance proceeds; provided, however, that in any event any such compromise or settlement shall be subject to the prior consent of Lender, which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s discretion.  Any such insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and shall be applied first to reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the ascertainment and collection of such insurance proceeds.  The balance, if any, of any insurance proceeds received by Lender with respect to an insured damage or casualty shall be, in Lender’s sole discretion, either (i) retained and applied by Lender first toward payment of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Lender deems appropriate, or (ii) paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Lender may impose, to Borrowers to pay for repairs or replacements necessitated by the damage or casualty.  In the event that all of the Secured Obligations have been performed or are discharged by the application of less than all of such insurance proceeds, then, any remaining proceeds shall be paid over to Borrowers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.16(D), Lender shall pay over to Borrowers any such insurance proceeds as provided in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, provided that, and on the following conditions:   (A) there does not exist any Default or Event of Default, (B) Borrowers demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender that Borrowers have the financial ability to pay all principal and interest and any other amounts required to be paid under this Agreement and the Note, and perform all of the other Secured Obligations, during the restoration of the applicable Property from Gross Revenue (including, without limitation, proceeds of rent loss or business interruption insurance) or otherwise, (C) the damage or casualty occurs prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the Loan Maturity Date and the restoration is capable of being completed prior to the Loan Maturity Date, (D) all insurance proceeds and other funds provided by Borrowers for such restoration are released under reserve 

56



 

and construction funding arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (E) the repair or restoration will return the applicable Property to substantially the same size, design and utility as existed immediately prior to the damage or casualty, (F) in the event the proceeds of insurance are insufficient to pay for the restoration (as reasonably determined by Lender), Borrowers shall, prior to the commencement of any restoration work, deposit with Lender not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days following the date that Borrowers receive written notification from Lender of such deficiency, such additional funds as are necessary to complete the restoration as reasonably determined by Lender; (G) Borrowers undertake and covenant and agree (in writing) with Lender to fund any and all deficiencies, and in fact actually fund any and all such deficiencies, not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days following the date that the proceeds of insurance are received by Lender and prior to the distribution of any further insurance proceeds, such that at all times the funds held by Lender and remaining to be disbursed for purposes of the restoration shall be sufficient to complete the restoration; (H) the annual Gross Revenue that will survive the restoration or repair of the applicable Property produces a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.0 and Borrowers demonstrate to Lender’s satisfaction that Borrowers shall be able to attain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.0 from Gross Revenue within six (6) months following completion of the restoration; and (I) if any site plan amendment, variance, special use permit or other similar special approval or consent is required from any government authority or any other Person for such repair or restoration, Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender such site plan amendment, variance, special use permit or other similar special approval or consent not later than the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of such casualty or damage (provided, however, that such one hundred eighty (180) day time period shall in all respects be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.16(D) and shall not extend or otherwise modify any time periods in such foregoing provisions).    

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.16(D), in the event that the insurance proceeds do not exceed $250,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”), then such insurance proceeds received by Borrowers with respect to the applicable damage or casualty shall be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Lender may impose, to Borrowers to pay for repairs or replacements necessitated by the damage or casualty (provided, however, that if all of the Secured Obligations have been performed or are discharged by the application of less than all of such insurance proceeds, then any remaining proceeds will be paid over to Borrowers)  if (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (ii) the proceeds received by Lender (together with any other funds delivered by Borrowers to Lender for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration necessitated by the casualty, and (iii) the cost of such restoration shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, and (iv) the damage or casualty occurs prior to the date that is six (6) months’ prior to the Loan Maturity Date and the restoration is capable of being completed, in Lender’s judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the Loan Maturity Date and (v) Borrowers shall undertake and complete the repair or restoration of the applicable Property so as to return such Property to substantially the same size, design and utility as existed immediately prior to the damage or casualty and shall fund any deficiency in the event such proceeds are insufficient to complete such repair or restoration.   

Lender will have no obligation to see to the proper application of any insurance proceeds paid over to Borrowers, nor will any such proceeds received by Lender bear interest or be subject to any other charge for the benefit of Borrowers.  If such insurance proceeds are deposited with 

57



 

Lender, Lender may, prior to the application of such proceeds, commingle them with Lender’s own funds and otherwise act with regard to such proceeds as Lender may determine.  

E.Successor’s Rights.  Any Person that acquires title to any Property or the Chattels upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure hereunder will succeed to all of Borrowers’ rights under all policies of insurance maintained pursuant to this Section.

5.1.17Eminent Domain; Private Damage.  If all or any part of any Property is taken or damaged by eminent domain or any other public or private action, Borrowers shall notify Lender promptly of the time and place of all meetings, hearings, trials, and other proceedings relating to such action.  Lender may participate in all negotiations and appear and participate in all judicial or arbitration proceedings concerning any award or payment that may be due as a result of such taking or damage, and may, in Lender’s sole but reasonable discretion, compromise or settle, in the names of both Borrowers and Lender, any claim for any such award or payment; provided, however, that in any event any such compromise or settlement shall be subject to the prior consent of Lender, which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s discretion.  Any such award or payment shall be paid directly to Lender and shall be applied first to reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with the ascertainment and collection of such award or payment.  The balance, if any, of such award or payment received by Lender with respect to a condemnation shall be, in Lender’s sole discretion, either (i) retained and applied, without prepayment penalty or fee as set forth in Section 5(c) of the Note, by Lender toward payment of the Secured Obligations in such order and manner as Lender deems appropriate, or (ii) paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Lender may impose, to Borrowers for the purpose of restoring, repairing, or rebuilding any part of the Property affected by the taking or damage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.17, Lender shall pay over to Borrowers any such award or payment as provided in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, provided that, and on the following conditions: (A) there does not exist any Default or Event of Default, (B) Borrowers demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender that Borrowers have the financial ability to pay all principal and interest required under this Agreement and the Note, and perform all of the other Secured Obligations, during the restoration of the applicable Property from Gross Revenue (including, without limitation, the proceeds of rent loss or business interruption insurance) or otherwise, (C) the damage occurs prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the Loan Maturity Date and the restoration is capable of being completed prior to the Loan Maturity Date, (D) any condemnation award and other funds provided by Borrowers for such restoration are released under reserve and construction funding arrangements reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (E) the repair or restoration will return the applicable Property to substantially the same size, design and utility as existed immediately prior to the damage, (F) in the event the condemnation award is insufficient to pay for the restoration (as reasonably determined by Lender), Borrowers shall, prior to the commencement of any restoration work, deposit with Lender not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days following the date that the condemnation award is received by Lender, such additional funds as are necessary to complete the restoration as reasonably determined by Lender; (G) Borrowers undertake and covenant and agree (in writing) with Lender to fund any and all deficiencies, and in fact actually fund any and all such deficiencies, not later than the date that is fifteen (15) days following the date that Borrowers receive written notification 

58



 

from Lender of such deficiency and prior to the distribution of any further portion of the condemnation award, such that at all times the funds held by Lender and remaining to be disbursed for purposes of the restoration shall be sufficient to complete the restoration; (H) the annual Gross Revenue that will survive the restoration or repair of the applicable Property produces a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.0 and Borrowers demonstrate to Lender’s satisfaction that Borrowers shall be able to attain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.0 from Gross Revenue within six (6) months after completion of the restoration; and (I) if any site plan amendment, variance, special use permit or other similar special approval or consent is required from any government authority or any other Person for such repair or restoration, Borrowers shall obtain and deliver to Lender such site plan amendment, variance, special use permit or other similar special approval or consent not later than the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of such taking or condemnation (provided, however, that such one hundred eighty (180) day time period shall in all respects be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.17 and shall not extend or otherwise modify any time periods in such foregoing provisions).  If the applicable Mortgage has been foreclosed prior to Lender’s receipt of such award or payment, Lender may nonetheless retain such award or payment to the extent required to reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection therewith, and to discharge any deficiency remaining with respect to the Secured Obligations.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.17, in the event that the award or payment does not exceed the Threshold Amount, then such award or payment received by Borrowers with respect to the applicable condemnation shall be paid over, in whole or in part and subject to such conditions as Lender may impose, to Borrowers for the purpose of restoring, repairing or rebuilding any part of the applicable Property affected by the taking or damage if (i) no Default or Event of Default then exists, and (ii) the award or payment received by Lender (together with any other funds delivered by Borrowers to Lender for such purpose) shall be sufficient, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to pay for any restoration, repair or rebuilding necessitated by the condemnation, and (iii) the cost of such restoration, repair or rebuilding shall not exceed the Threshold Amount, and (iv) the condemnation occurs prior to the date that is six (6) months prior to the Loan Maturity Date and the restoration, repair or rebuilding is capable of being completed, in Lender’s judgment, at least ninety (90) days prior to the Loan Maturity Date, and (v) Borrowers shall undertake and complete the restoration, repair or rebuilding of any Property so as to return the applicable Property to substantially the same size, design and utility as existed immediately prior to the condemnation and shall fund any deficiency in the event such award is insufficient to complete such repair or restoration.

Lender will have no obligation to see to the proper application of any condemnation award paid over to Borrowers.  If such condemnation award is deposited with Lender, Lender may, prior to the application of such award, commingle it with Lender’s own funds and otherwise act with regard to such proceeds as Lender may determine.

5.1.18Leases. 

A.Without Lender’s prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion, Borrowers shall not enter into or modify, amend, supplement, 

59



 

terminate or cancel any Lease of all or any part of any Property.  Any submission by Borrowers for Lender’s consent to a Lease or modification, amendment, supplement, termination or cancellation thereof shall be accompanied by a copy of such Lease or modification, amendment, supplement, termination or cancellation, a then-current Rent Roll for the applicable Property, year-to-date and prior year operating statements for the applicable Property and a cover letter requesting Lender’s consent which contains a signature line on which Lender may evidence Lender’s consent to such Lease or modification, amendment, supplement, termination or cancellation (collectively, the “Lease Approval Deliveries”).  Each Lease, and each modification, amendment, supplement, termination or cancellation of any Lease, shall be in writing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, Lender’s written consent will not be required prior to entering into any new Safe Harbor Lease or any modification, amendment, or supplement thereof after the Closing Date (so long as such Lease remains a Safe Harbor Lease after giving effect to any such modification, amendment or supplement), provided that no Event of Default exists and Borrowers deliver a copy of each such Safe Harbor Lease to Lender within ten (10) days after execution thereof together with Borrowers’ written certification that such copy is a true, correct and complete copy of such Safe Harbor Lease and that all of the conditions set forth in this sentence and in the definition of “Safe Harbor Lease” have been satisfied.

B.Lender agrees that for any proposed Lease that does not qualify as a Safe Harbor Lease, for which Borrower is required to obtain Lender’s consent thereto, Lender will attempt to respond within ten (10) Business Days, and Lender’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld based upon market conditions.  Borrower shall be permitted to submit a lease summary term sheet, for purposes of obtaining Lender’s approval, which sets out all of the economic terms of the proposed Lease, as well as any deviations from the Lease Form.  Lender’s consent will be contingent on tenant signing the Lease Form.  Lender will not be obligated to enter into any subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (or similar agreement) for any tenant for which Borrower is requesting Lender lease approval until such time as an executed Lease that complies with the provisions of this Agreement is delivered to Lender.  If Lender has failed to respond to the written request for consent of a proposed Lease after five (5) Business Days after its receipt thereof, together with any additional information that Lender may reasonably require to evaluate such proposed Lease, and Borrower has provided a subsequent five (5) Business Days written notice to Lender requesting consent, each notice marked with a legend in bold capital letters stating: LENDER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE MATTER CONTAINED HEREIN IF IT FAILS TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITHIN 10/5 (as applicable) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF, then Lender shall be deemed to have consented to the same. 

C.With respect to each Lease, Borrowers:

shall neither do, nor neglect to do, anything that may cause or permit the termination of such Lease, or cause or permit the withholding or abatement of any rent payable under any such Lease;

(i)shall observe and perform all of the obligations imposed upon Borrowers under such Lease and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Lease as security for the Secured Obligations;

60



 

(ii)shall promptly send copies to Lender of all written notices of default that Borrowers shall send or receive under any Lease;

(iii)shall enforce all of the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Lease upon the part of the lessee or any other party that is not Borrowers thereunder to be observed or performed and shall not effect a termination or diminution of the obligations of tenants under Lease;

(iv)shall not collect any rent under any Lease more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits);

(v)shall not execute any other assignment of Borrowers’ interest in the Leases or Revenue, except pursuant to the Security Documents;

(vi)shall not alter, modify or change the terms of any guaranty of the Leases or cancel or terminate such guaranty without the prior written consent of Lender; and

(vii)shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under the Lease not in accordance with their terms, without the prior written consent of Lender.

D.Borrowers shall deposit security deposits of tenants under Leases that are turned over to or for the benefit of Borrowers or otherwise collected by or on behalf of Borrowers, into an Eligible Account and in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and shall not commingle such funds with any other funds of Borrowers.  Any bond or other instrument that Borrowers are permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described, shall, if permitted pursuant to all applicable Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender) and shall, in all respects, comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrowers shall, upon request, provide Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of Borrowers’ compliance with the foregoing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrowers shall, upon Lender’s written request, if permitted by any applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and, if required to be paid to any tenant pursuant to its Lease or applicable Legal Requirements, any interest theretofore earned thereon and not previously disbursed to such tenant) then held with respect to all or any portion of any Property, to be held by Lender subject to the terms of the Leases.

E.(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) Borrowers shall notify Lender in writing of any cancellation penalties, termination fees or other consideration payable to Borrowers in connection with any cancellation, termination or surrender of any Lease (any such penalties or fees are referred to herein as “Termination Fees”), which written notice shall be delivered to Lender not later than three (3) Business Days following receipt by Borrowers of written notice from the applicable tenant under such Lease of the intention of such tenant to cancel, terminate or surrender such Lease, but in any event prior to the payment by the applicable tenant under such Lease of any such Termination Fees to such Borrower and (b) Lender may, but shall not be required to, (i) require that such Borrowers deposits such Termination Fees into a reserve 

61



 

held by Lender or Servicer pursuant to a tenant improvement and leasing commissions reserve agreement, which agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and (ii) impose such restrictions and conditions on the timing and amount of disbursements of the Termination Fees from such reserve account as Lender may reasonably require, including, without limitation (x) requiring that (1) the space left vacant as a result of such cancellation, termination or surrender be relet to a tenant and under a Lease consented to by Lender unless such consent is either not required or deemed given in accordance with this Section 5.1.18 (any such Lease an “Approved Lease”), (2) the tenant under such Approved Lease is in occupancy of the portion of the Property demised pursuant to such Approved Lease and is paying rent in accordance with such Approved Lease, (3) Borrowers provide to Lender a tenant estoppel certificate from the tenant under such Approved Lease in a form and in substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (4) Borrowers provide to Lender written evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that all improvements to the applicable Property required pursuant to such Approved Lease have been completed in accordance with such Approved Lease, and (y) limiting the amount of any such disbursement to the lesser of (1) the actual cost of re-tenanting such space and (2) the amount calculated by dividing the applicable Termination Fees by the total square feet of space vacated, then multiplying that result by the number of square feet of newly leased space under such Approved Lease.

(ii)Subject to Section 5.1.18(E)(iii) below, (a) in the event that following the date that any such Termination Fee is paid, as of the date of determination, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is less than 1.0 to 1.0, then Lender may apply an amount equal to the excess of (x) any Termination Fees over (y) the amount of such Termination Fees disbursed to Borrowers pursuant to Section 5.1.18(E)(i) above (any such excess amount the “Excess Termination Fees”) to any regularly scheduled payment due and payable by Borrower under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any monthly payment of principal and/or interest and any regularly scheduled reserve deposits) in such order and in such manner as determined by Lender; (b) following the date that any such Termination Fee is paid, as of the date of determination, (x) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio equals or exceeds 1.0 to 1.0 and (y) at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the rentable square feet of space available at all of the Properties is occupied by Leases approved (or deemed approved) by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or the Safe-Harbor Leases, then Lender shall disburse any Excess Termination Fees to Borrowers. 

(iii)If any Event of Default exists and is continuing, Lender may apply any Termination Fees to the Secured Obligations in such order and in such manner as determined by Lender in Lender’s sole discretion.

F.Borrowers shall provide Lender with a  Rent Roll on an annual basis, certified by Borrowers to Lender as true, correct and complete.  Without limiting the provisions of this Section 5.1.18, the Rent Roll shall include all Leases whether or not evidenced by written instruments.

5.1.19Intentionally Omitted.  

5.1.20Ownership and Organizational Structure.  Except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Article 8, each Borrower shall maintain or shall cause to be maintained the ownership

5.1.21Preservation of Existence and Properties, Scope of Business, Compliance with Law.  Borrowers shall comply with all Legal Requirements, including, but not limited to, all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements and private covenants, such compliance to include, without limitation, maintaining all Permits and paying before the same become delinquent all taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon any Borrower or any Property.  Borrowers shall maintain all Permits necessary for the operation, ownership, use, occupancy and maintenance of each Property for the then current use of each Property, and without limiting this covenant of Borrowers, Borrowers shall make application for renewals of any of the Permits prior to the expiration thereof.  Borrowers shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect the existence of each Borrower Control Person as a limited liability company, corporation or other entity, as may be applicable, and to maintain the authorization of each Borrower Control Person to perform the obligations under the Loan Documents.  No Borrower shall amend or modify, or permit any other Borrower Control Person to amend or modify, its organizational documents so as to contravene any of the Loan Documents or to prevent the observance of the obligations under the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower shall comply, and cause each other Borrower Control Person to comply with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders and other governmental or quasi-governmental requirements, and each Borrower shall obtain, and cause each other Borrower Control Person to obtain, all authorizations, approvals and consents from, and shall make all notices and filings with, any court, governmental, authority or regulatory body, in respect of its right and ability to perform, or cause the performance of, the obligations under the Loan Documents.

10.8Headings.  The Article and Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

10.9Assignment.

A.Lender may at any time grant to one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in the Secured Obligations owing to Lender.  No Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  In the event of any such grant by Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrowers shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which Lender may grant such a 

84



 

participating interest shall provide that Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrowers hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement.

B.Without in any way limiting the provisions of Section 10.9(A), Lender shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign participating interests in the Secured Obligations or to sell, transfer or assign other direct or indirect interests in the Loan or the Loan Documents and in the obligations of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in such amounts as deemed appropriate by Lender to one or more Persons.  Lender may sell, transfer or assign all its interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents, and in the obligations of Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to one or more Persons.  Upon an assignment of all or a portion of Lender’s direct interest in the Loan and Loan Documents, and an assumption by the assignee of Lender’s obligations hereunder with respect to the portion of the Loan so assigned, Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect to the assigned interest from and after the date of such assignment.

C.Borrowers may not sell, assign or transfer any interest in the Loan Documents, any Collateral (except as otherwise expressly permitted in the Loan Documents), or any portion of either of the foregoing (including, without limitation, Borrowers’ rights, title, interests, remedies, powers and duties hereunder and thereunder) and any such purported sale, assignment or transfer shall be null and void.

D.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, Borrowers authorize Lender to disclose to any Participant or transferee of the Loan (each, a “Transferee”) and any prospective Transferee any and all financial and other information in Lender’s possession concerning any Borrower Control Person and its respective Affiliates, which has been delivered to Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with Lender’s credit evaluation of any Borrower Control Person and its respective Affiliates prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.

10.10Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under Legal Requirements, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

10.11Preferences.  Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the obligations of any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by any Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrowers hereunder.  To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to Lender for Borrowers’ benefit, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the 

85



 

obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

10.12Waiver of Notice.  Borrowers shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or another Loan Document specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrowers hereby expressly waive the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrowers.

10.13Failure to Consent.  If Borrowers shall seek the approval by or consent of Lender hereunder or under the Note, the Mortgages, or any of the other Loan Documents, and Lender shall fail or refuse to give such consent or approval, then Borrowers shall not be entitled to any damages for any withholding or delay of such approval or consent by Lender, it being intended that Borrowers’ sole remedy shall be to bring an action for an injunction, declaratory judgment or specific performance.

10.14Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated.  The information set forth on the cover, the heading and the recitals hereof, the Exhibits and the Schedules attached hereto, are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

10.15Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses that are unrelated to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that Borrowers may otherwise have against any assignor of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  No such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrowers in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon this Agreement or upon any other Loan Document.  Any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrowers, unless and to the extent Borrowers would be permanently barred from asserting such claim in any action or proceeding.

10.16No Joint Venture or Partnership. Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrowers and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of secured party, mortgagee or lender.

10.17Waiver of Marshaling of Assets Defense.  To the maximum extent not prohibited by Legal Requirements, Borrowers waives all rights to a marshaling of the assets of Borrowers, and others with interests in Borrowers, (or any of them) and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the interests hereby created, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshaling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters 

86



 

whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Collateral for the collection of the Secured Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or the right of Lender to the payment of the Secured Obligations out of the Net Proceeds of the Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

10.18Conflict; Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted same.

10.19Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Each Borrower and Lender hereby represents that the representing party has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan, other than KeyBank (“Broker”). Borrowers shall pay the fees and commissions due to Broker  pursuant to a separate written agreement.  Each Borrower and Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Secured Obligations.

10.21Estoppel Certificates.  Borrowers hereby agrees at any time and from time to time upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice by Lender to execute, acknowledge and deliver to the party specified in such notice, a statement, in writing, certifying that this Agreement is unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same, as modified, is in full force and effect and stating the modifications hereto), and stating whether or not, to the knowledge of such certifying party, any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, and, if so, specifying each such Default or Event of Default.

10.22Payment of Expenses.

10.22.1Borrowers shall pay all applicable Transaction Costs, which shall include, without limitation, (A) costs and expenses of Lender in connection with (i) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and every amendment, supplement, or modification to the Loan Documents (or any of them) and any other document being prepared in connection herewith or therewith, or in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) the creation, perfection or protection of Lender’s Liens in the Collateral (including, without limitation, fees and expenses for title and lien searches or amended or replacement mortgages, UCC Financing Statements or Security Documents, survey fees and charges, title insurance premiums and filing and recording taxes, fees and charges, third party due diligence expenses for each Property, including, without limitation, travel expenses, accounting firm fees, costs 

87



 

of the Appraisals, and the fees of appraisers, environmental consultants, engineering consultants and construction consultants, and costs and fees incurred in connection with arranging, setting up, servicing and maintaining the Account Collateral); (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any amendment, waiver, restructuring or consent relating to any of the Loan Documents; and (iv) the preservation of rights under and enforcement of the Loan Documents, including any communications or discussions relating to any action that Borrowers shall from time to time request Lender to take, as well as any restructuring or rescheduling of the Secured Obligations, (B) the fees, expenses and other charges of counsel to Lender in connection with all of the foregoing, and (C) Lender’s (where deemed reasonably necessary by Lender) reasonable out-of-pocket travel expenses in connection with site visits to each Property.

10.22.2Borrowers shall pay or reimburse Lender within ten (10) days following demand for all of Lender’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the reasonable fees and actual disbursements of counsel to Lender, and including costs and expenses incurred in any workout, restructuring or similar arrangements or in connection with any foreclosure, collection or bankruptcy proceedings with respect to any Borrower, any Managing Member or Guarantor.

10.22.3Any reference in this Agreement to attorneys’ or counsel fees paid or incurred by Lender shall be deemed to include paralegals’ fees and legal assistants’ fees.  Moreover, wherever provision is made herein for payment of attorneys’ or counsels’ fees or expenses incurred by Lender, such provision shall include, but not be limited to, such fees or expenses incurred in any and all judicial, bankruptcy, reorganization, administrative, or other proceedings, including appellate proceedings, whether such fees or expenses arise before proceedings are commenced, during such proceedings or after entry of a final judgment.

10.23Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence with regard to the obligations of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

10.24No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Nothing in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents shall confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.

10.25Reinstatement.  This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by Lender in respect of the Loan is rescinded or must otherwise by restored by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or upon the appointment of any intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its properties or assets, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

10.26Usury Savings Clause.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrowers and Lender at all times to comply with the applicable law governing the highest lawful interest rate.  If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the loan evidenced thereby, or if acceleration of the 

88



 

maturity of the Note, any prepayment by Borrowers, or any other circumstance whatsoever, results in Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is the express intent of Borrowers and Lender that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender be credited on the principal balance of the Note (or, at Lender’s option, paid over to Borrowers), and the provisions of the Note and other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder.  The right to accelerate maturity of the Note does not include the right to accelerate any interest which has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Lender does not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Secured Obligations evidenced hereby or by the Note shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Secured Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Secured Obligations does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under applicable law.  The term “applicable law” as used herein means, any federal or state law applicable to the loan made by Lender to Borrower evidenced by the Note.

10.27Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, contains the entire understanding between the parties to the matters addressed herein, and may not be changed, amended, modified or waived except pursuant to a written agreement executed by the parties, and supersedes any other understandings or agreements with respect to the matters covered hereby.

10.28Joint and Several Obligation.  (a) Subject to Section 10.31, all Persons comprising Borrowers are jointly and severally liable for all of the Secured Obligations; (b) All representations, warranties, and covenants made by any Borrower shall be deemed representations, warranties, and covenants of each of the Persons comprising Borrowers; and (c) Any breach, default or Event of Default by any of the Persons comprising Borrowers shall be deemed to be a breach, default, or Event of Default of Borrowers.

10.29Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrowers and Borrowers’ successors and assigns, and Lender, and Lender’s successors and assigns.  The duties, covenants, conditions, obligations, and warranties of Borrowers in this Agreement shall be joint and several obligations of Borrowers and Borrowers’ successors and assigns.  The provisions of this Section 10.29 shall not in any way limit Section 10.9(C).

10.30Subrogation of Lender.  Lender shall be subrogated to the lien of any previous encumbrance discharged with funds advanced by Lender under the Loan Documents, regardless of whether such previous encumbrance has been released of record.

10.31Limitation on Liability. 

10.31.1Nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to impair or limit Lender’s rights (I) in foreclosure proceedings or in any ancillary proceedings brought to facilitate Lender’s foreclosure on any Property or any portion thereof or to exercise any specific rights or remedies afforded Lender under any other provisions of the Loan Documents 

89



 

or by law or in equity, subject to the non-recourse provisions set forth below; (II) to recover under any guaranty given in connection with the Loan; or (III) to pursue any personal liability of Borrowers or Guarantor under the Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth in Section 10.31.2 below, the recourse of Lender with respect to the obligations evidenced by this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents (except the Guaranty and the Environmental Indemnity Agreement) shall be solely to each Property, Chattel, Personalty and other Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, nothing shall be deemed in any way to impair, limit or prejudice the rights of Lender to collect or recover from Borrowers, or Guarantor: (i) damages or costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender as a result of any intentional waste by Borrower; (ii) any condemnation award or insurance proceeds attributable to any Property which were not paid to Lender or used to restore such Property in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement; (iii) any Gross Revenue or other similar sums attributable to any Property collected by or for Borrower (x) following an Event of Default under any Loan Document and not properly applied to the reasonable fixed and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, payments due on the Note and other sums due under the Loan Documents, or (y) to the extent not deposited into the Deposit Account; (iv) any security deposits collected by or for Borrower and not applied in accordance with the applicable Leases; (v) the amount of any accrued taxes, assessments, and/or utility charges affecting any Property (whether or not the same have been billed to Borrower) that are either unpaid by Borrower or advanced by Lender under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in respect of any Property, to the extent of any of the foregoing accruing after the Termination Date (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such Property; (vi) any sums expended by Lender in fulfilling the obligations of Borrower, as lessor, under any Lease affecting any Property; (vii) the amount of any loss suffered by Lender (that would otherwise be covered by insurance and available to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents) as a result of Borrowers’ failure to maintain any insurance required under the terms of any Loan Document; (viii) losses, damages and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender as a result of any fraud or material misrepresentation by any Borrower in connection with any Property or any of the Loan Documents, (ix) the amount of any losses, damages and costs suffered by Lender as a result of any Borrower’s making any REIT Distributions (as defined in the Cash Collateral Agreement) in accordance with Section 4(a)(ii)(I) of the Cash Collateral Agreement following a REIT Triggering Event (as defined in the Cash Collateral Agreement), provided that such amount shall not exceed the amount of such REIT Distributions made by any Borrower under Section 4(a)(ii)(I) of the Cash Collateral Agreement, which amounts would have been deposited into the Excess Cash Subaccount (as defined in the Cash Collateral Agreement) for application pursuant to the Cash Collateral Agreement if such REIT Distributions were not permitted under Section 4(a)(ii)(I) of the Cash Collateral Agreement, and (x) the amount of any losses, damages and costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) suffered by Lender in connection with a failure by Borrower to fully satisfy or to cause to be fully satisfied, as determined by the applicable Governmental Authority, the Cozine Environmental Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, the matters set forth in this paragraph (a) shall be fully recourse to each Borrower (but not any member, manager, officer, director or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, with the exclusion of the Guarantor) and Guarantor.  For the purposes of this 

90



 

Section 10.31.1, the “Termination Date” is, in respect of any Property, the earliest of (x) the date that Borrower tenders to Lender or Lender's designee a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of such Property, subject to no title exceptions other than real estate taxes and assessments, the Permitted Exceptions (as defined in the applicable Mortgage) and such additional exceptions approved by Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents or which are otherwise acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, together with such ancillary conveyances, releases and other documentation that are customarily delivered in connection with a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure transaction, all in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure is accepted by Lender in its sole discretion (y) the date that Borrower tenders to Lender a stipulation to entry of judgment of foreclosure in respect of such Property, and (z) the date Lender, any Affiliate of Lender, or any other party takes title to such Property in connection with a foreclosure of the applicable Mortgage that encumbers such Property.  If Borrower elects to deliver a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of such Property, Lender shall retain the right to determine whether to accept such deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or to proceed with foreclosure proceedings and, upon Lender making such election, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an appropriate deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in respect of the Property, as Lender shall have elected; provided, however, that if Lender chooses to proceed with foreclosure proceedings in respect of such Property, the Termination Date shall nonetheless be the earliest of the date specified in clause (x), (y) and (z) above, provided further that if Borrower thereafter fails to cooperate with Lender in respect of Lender's exercise of any and all remedies available at law or in equity to Lender (including, without limitation, foreclosure), then the Termination Date shall be the earlier of the date specified in clause (y) or (z) above.  

10.31.2The agreement contained in Section 10.31.1 to limit the personal liability of each Borrower shall become null and void and be of no further force and effect, and Borrowers and Guarantor shall be personally liable for repayment of the Secured Obligations, in the event (A) of any Transfer other than (1) a Permitted Transfer that satisfies all of the Transfer Conditions and (2) any Transfer of the Properties (or any Property) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in  Section 8.1, Section 8.4 or Section 8.5; (B) of intentional or willful material misrepresentation by any Borrower in connection with the Portfolio, the Loan Documents, or the Loan Application; (C) any Borrower forfeits any Property or other Collateral due to criminal activity; (D) of any attempt, by any Borrower, any Guarantor, any Borrower Owner Person or Borrower Control Person or any other Person directly or indirectly responsible for the management of any Borrower or liable for repayment of Borrowers’ obligations under the Loan Documents (whether as maker, endorser, guarantor, surety, general partner or otherwise), to materially delay any foreclosure against the Portfolio or other Collateral or any other exercise by Lender of its remedies under the Loan Documents, which attempts shall include, without limitation, (i) any claim that any Loan Document is invalid or unenforceable to an extent that would preclude any such foreclosure or other exercise of remedies, (ii) any Borrower filing a petition in bankruptcy, failing to oppose in good faith the entry of an order for relief pursuant to any involuntary bankruptcy petition filed against any Borrower or seeking any reorganization, liquidation, dissolution or similar relief under the bankruptcy laws of the United States or under any other similar federal, state or other statute relating to relief from indebtedness, or consenting to or colluding in the filing of any involuntary bankruptcy petition against any Borrower, or (iii) the appointment (other than by Lender) of a receiver, trustee or liquidator with respect to any Borrower or any Property or 

91



 

any part thereof; (E) of any execution, amendment, modification, assignment or termination of any Lease to any Required Tenant or any execution, or subsequent amendment, modification, assignment or termination of any Lease for any space currently occupied by any Required Tenant, in each case in violation of the terms and provisions of this Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

10.32Appointment of Servicer and Delegation of Lender Responsibilities.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, at the sole option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a Servicer.  The retention of Servicer and the delegation of some or all of Lender’s responsibilities to any such Servicer shall not, however, release Lender from any of Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents.  As of the date of this Agreement, Lender has retained M. Robert Goldman & Company, Inc. as Servicer. Borrower shall also be responsible for the payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Servicer in connection with the services performed by Servicer in connection with the Loan (including, without limitation, inspections of any Property, casualty and condemnation matters and a matters concerning Defaults and Events of Default) (the disbursement of funds held by or on behalf of Lender in escrow or reserve accounts, inspections of any Property, casualty and condemnation matters and a matters concerning Defaults and Events of Default).  Any action taken by Servicer pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon Lender to the same extent as if taken by Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all actions and directions given by Servicer in respect of the Loan and the Loan Documents unless and until Borrower receives contrary written instructions from Lender. 

10.33Acceptance of Cures for Events of Default.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents  (including, without limitation, any reference to the “continuance” of an Event of Default, the “continuation” of an Event of Default or that an Event of Default is “continuing”), Lender shall in no event or under any circumstance be obligated or required to accept a cure by any Borrower, any Guarantor or by any other Person of an Event of Default unless Lender agrees to do so in the exercise of Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, it being agreed that once an Event of Default has occurred and so long as Lender has not determined to accept a cure of such Event of Default in writing, Lender shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in equity.

10.34Binding Action.  Borrowers agree that with respect to any consent, direction, approval or action that is required of Borrowers under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any consent, direction, approval or action by any Borrower shall be binding on Borrowers and that Lender shall have no obligation to confirm any such consent, direction, approval or action given to it and may act in reliance upon any such consent, direction, approval or action.

10.35Reasonable Standard.  Borrowers hereby agree that the sole remedy of Borrowers based upon any claim that an Indemnified Party has acted unreasonably or that an Indemnified Party has unreasonably withheld or unreasonably delayed any action, in each case, to the extent that such Indemnified Party had an obligation, either at law or pursuant to the Loan Documents, to act reasonably, shall be an action for specific performance, injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  Borrowers hereby further agree that the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for any 

92



 

monetary damages in respect of any such claim and that Borrowers’ sole remedy in respect of any such claim shall be limited to specific performance, injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

10.36Claims Against Lender.  Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any of the other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrowers shall have been given to Lender within three (3) months after any Borrowers first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event that Borrowers allege gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter.  Each Borrower waives any claim, set-off or defense against Lender arising by reason of any alleged default by Lender as to which Borrowers do not give such notice timely as aforesaid.  Each Borrower acknowledges that such waiver is or may be essential to Lender’s ability to enforce Lender’s remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Lender and Borrowers with respect to the Loan.
