Section 2.2      Interest; Loan Payments; Late Payment Charge.

24






2.2.1     Payment of Principal and Interest.
(i)     Except as set forth in Section 2.2.1(ii), interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount as set forth in the Note.
(ii)     Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and from and after the Maturity Date (if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date) interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion thereof that is then due). To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Indebtedness and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default, and Lender retains its rights under the Note to accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.2      Method and Place of Payment.
(a)     On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender the applicable Monthly Amount pursuant to the Note.
(b)     All amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, other than the Principal Amount, together with any interest at the Default Rate or other charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder as provided in the Loan Documents. In the event any such advance or charge is not so repaid by Borrower, Lender may, at its option, first apply any payments received under the Note to repay such advances, together with any interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the Loan Documents, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
(c)     The Maturity Date Payment shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.
2.2.3     Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the outstanding Principal Amount due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or prior to the applicable Monthly Payment Grace Period Expiration Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate (the Late Payment Charge) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such 

25






delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.4     Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan 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 under the Note at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, then the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall 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 under the Note. 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 does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

2.3.1     Prepayments. No prepayments of the Indebtedness shall be permitted except as set forth in Section 4 of the Note and except as expressly set forth elsewhere in the Loan Documents.
2.3.2     Prepayments After Event of Default. If, following an Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Indebtedness and Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Lender after such Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made only, or will be applied by Lender, on the next occurring Payment Date together with all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the Interest Period during which such Payment Date occurs (even if such period extends beyond such Payment Date and calculated as if such payment had not been made on such Payment Date), (b) such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower, and (c) Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages Amount in the event the payment occurs prior to the Prepayment Lockout Release Date.
2.3.3     Release of Property. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon (i) payment in full of the Principal Amount and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, or (ii) satisfaction of the conditions to a Property Release provided in Section 8.7, release the Lien of the Security Instrument on the 

26






Property or assign it, in whole or in part, to a new lender. In such event, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the date of such release or assignment, a release of lien or assignment of lien, as applicable, for such property for execution by Lender.

If Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.4.1, Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that Lender furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.
2.4.2     Special Taxes. Borrower shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.4.2) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.
2.4.5     Change of Office. To the extent that changing the jurisdiction of Lender’s applicable office would have the effect of minimizing Special Taxes, Other Taxes or Increased Costs, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make such a change, provided that same would not otherwise be disadvantageous to Lender.
2.4.6     Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Borrower contained in this Section 2.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest hereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.

with respect to such representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document which are qualified as being made to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, all representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, are accurate, complete and correct in all material respects. There has been no material adverse change known to Borrower in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise materially and adversely affects the Property or the business operations or the financial condition of Borrower.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its Debts as such Debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Borrower and Lender shall each indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any loss, liability, cost or expense, including any judgments, attorneys’ fees, or costs of appeal, incurred by the other party and arising out of or relating to any breach or default by the indemnifying party of its representations, warranties and/or agreements set forth in this Section 4.1.38.

Borrower or its predecessors have complied with and performed all of its or their material construction, improvement and alteration obligations with respect to the Property required as of the date hereof and any other obligations under the other REAs, Ground Leases or the Leases that are required as of the date hereof have either been complied with or the failure to comply with the same does not and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The REAs are in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party to the REAs, is in default thereunder, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions which, with the passage of time 

50

(iv)      do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the carrying out of the terms  and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.

55






(c)      Borrower further agrees that if, in connection with the Securitization, it is determined by the Rating Agencies that a portion of the Securitization would not receive an “investment grade” rating unless the principal amount of the Loan were to be decreased and, as a result, the principal amount of the Loan is decreased, then the Borrower shall take all actions as are necessary to effect as “bifurcation” of the Loan by severing a portion of the Loan into a mezzanine loan and Borrower shall execute and deliver any and all necessary amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents and any mezzanine loan documents as shall be required by Lender.

VI.     INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION 
Section 6.1     Insurance Coverage Requirements. Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense (whether directly or by the inclusion of such obligations as tenant obligations in the applicable Leases), keep in full force and effect insurance coverage of the types and minimum limits as follows during the term of this Agreement: 
6.1.1     Property Insurance. Insurance against loss customarily included under so called “All Risk” policies including flood, earthquake, vandalism, and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery, and such other insurable hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time are insured against for other property and buildings similar to the Improvements and Building Equipment in nature, use, location, height, and type of construction. Such insurance policy shall also insure the additional expense of demolition and if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, provide coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. The amount of such “All Risk” insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost value of the Improvements and the Building Equipment. Each such insurance policy shall contain an agreed amount (coinsurance waiver) and replacement cost value endorsement and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments which Borrower is required to insure in accordance with any Lease. Lender shall be named “Loss Payee” on a “Standard Mortgagee Endorsement” and be provided not less than thirty (30) days advance notice of change in coverage, cancellation or non-renewal. 
6.1.2     Liability Insurance. “General Public Liability” insurance, including, without limitation, “Commercial General Liability” insurance; “Owned” (if any), ”Hired” and Non Owned Auto Liability; and “Umbrella Liability coverage for “Personal Injury, “Bodily Injury”, “Death, Accident and Property Damage”, providing in combination no less than $100,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate. The policies described in this paragraph shall cover, without limitation: elevators, escalators, independent contractors, 

61






“Contractual Liability” (covering, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender as required under this Agreement and “Products and Completed Operations Liability” coverage). All public liability insurance shall name Lender as “Additional Insured” either on a specific endorsement or under a blanket endorsement satisfactory to Lender. 
6.1.3     Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Workers compensation and disability insurance as required by law. 
6.1.4     Commercial Rents Insurance. “Commercial rents” insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months actual rental loss plus a twelve (12) month extended period of indemnity endorsement and with a limit of liability sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to provide Proceeds which will cover the actual loss of profits and rents sustained during the period of at least eighteen (18) months following the date of casualty. Such policies of insurance shall be subject only to exclusions that are acceptable to Lender and, if the Loan is the subject of a Securitization, the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that such exclusions are reasonably consistent with those required for loans similar to the Loan provided herein. Such insurance shall be deemed to include “loss of rental value” insurance where applicable. The term “rental value” means the sum of (A) the total then ascertainable Rents payable under the Leases and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other amounts to be received by Borrower from third parties which are the legal obligation of Tenants, reduced to the extent such amounts would not be received because of operating expenses not incurred during a period of non-occupancy of that portion of such Property then not being occupied. 
6.1.5     Builder’s All-Risk Insurance. During any period of repair or restoration, builder’s “All-Risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the relevant Individual Property against such risks (including so called “All Risk” perils coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender). 
6.1.6     Boiler and Machinery Insurance. Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to any Lease on a replacement cost basis. The minimum amount of limits to be provided shall be $10,000,000 per accident. 
6.1.7     Flood Insurance. If any portion of the Improvements is located within an area designated as “flood prone” or a “special flood hazard area” (as defined under the regulations adopted under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973), flood insurance shall be provided, in an amount not less than the maximum limit of coverage available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan with respect to the Property. Lender reserves the right to require flood insurance in excess of that available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan. 

62






6.1.8     Terrorism Insurance. Terrorism insurance, including insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals, in the amount equal to the Principal Amount in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Borrower agrees that if any property insurance policy covering the Property provides for any exclusions of coverage for acts of terrorism, then a separate terrorism insurance policy in the coverage amount required under this Section and in form and substance acceptable to Lender will be obtained by Borrower for the Property. 
6.1.9     Environmental Insurance. Environmental liability insurance policies, which shall be non-cancelable at any time prior to the Maturity Date, against any and all claims, including, without limitation, unknown environmental hazards requiring remediation as of the date of this Agreement and known environmental conditions not requiring remediation as of the date of this Agreement, in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 per loss or $30,000,000 in the aggregate arising out of or connected with the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property. Lender shall be named in such environmental insurance as an additional named insured and the environmental insurance policy shall provide that it shall be assignable to Lender upon a foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage. 
6.1.10     Other Insurance. At Lender’s reasonable request, such other insurance with respect to the Property against loss or damage of the kinds from time to time customarily insured against and in such amounts as are generally required by institutional lenders on loans of similar amounts and secured by properties comparable to, and in the general vicinity of, the Property. 
6.1.11     Ratings of Insurers. Borrower shall maintain the insurance coverage described in Section 6.1.1 through Section 6.1.10, in all cases, with one or more domestic primary insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender, having both (x) claims-paying-ability and financial strength ratings by S&P of not less than “A” and its equivalent by the other Rating Agencies, provided that, with respect to any layered or quota share insurance policy for the insurance that is issued by more than five (5) insurers, the requirements of this clause (x) will be satisfied if at least sixty percent (60%) of the limits provided shall be with insurers that meet such claims-paying-ability and financial strength ratings, and (y) an Alfred M. Best Company, Inc. (Best) rating of “A” or better and a financial size category of not less than “X”, provided that, with respect to any layered or quota share insurance policy for the insurance that is issued by more than five (5) insurers, the requirements of this clause (y) will be satisfied if at least sixty percent (60%) of the limits provided shall be with insurers that meet such rating and financial size category standards. All insurers providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be authorized to issue insurance in the State. 
6.1.12     Form of Insurance Policies; Endorsements.  All insurance policies shall be in such form and with such endorsements as are satisfactory to Lender (and Lender shall have the right to approve amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds).

63






to Lender when the same are available (but no later than ninety (90) days after the date hereof) and shall be held by Lender. All policies shall name Lender as an additional insured, shall provide that all Proceeds (except with respect to Proceeds of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance) be payable to Lender as and to the extent set forth in Section 6.2, and shall contain: (i) a standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Lender; (iii) an endorsement providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated by virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Lender or any other named insured, additional insured or loss payee, except for the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy; (iv) an endorsement providing for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (v) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated or expire without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, in each instance. No insurance policy required hereunder shall include any so called “terrorist exclusion” or similar exclusion or exception to insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals. Each insurance policy shall contain a provision whereby the insurer: (i) agrees that such policy shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage, deductible, and limits of such policy shall not be modified, other provisions of such policy shall not be modified if such policy, after giving effect to such modification, would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such policy shall not be canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each case, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, (ii) waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured, and (iii) provides that Lender at its option, shall be permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to nonpayment of premiums. In the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

Certificates of insurance with respect to all replacement policies shall be delivered to Lender not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the expiration date of any of 

64






the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender originals (or certified copies) of such replacement insurance policies on or before the earlier to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after the request therefor from Lender and (ii) five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the certificates of insurance and certified copies or originals required by this Agreement, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such insurance, and all costs thereof (and interest thereon at the Default Rate) shall be added to the Indebtedness. Lender shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect to such matters. Borrower agrees that any replacement insurance policy required hereunder shall not include any so called “terrorist exclusion” or similar exclusion or exception to insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals.

Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in writing upon obtaining knowledge of (i) the institution of any proceedings relating to any Taking (whether material or immaterial) of, or (ii) the occurrence of any casualty, damage or injury to, the Property or any portion thereof, the restoration of which is estimated by Borrower in good faith to cost more than the Casualty Amount. In addition, each such notice shall set forth such good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such casualty, damage, injury or Taking in reasonable detail if the same is then available and, if not, as soon thereafter as it can reasonably be provided.

65






6.2.2     Proceeds. In the event of any Taking of or any casualty or other damage or injury to the Property, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, causes and rights of action (whether accrued prior to or after the date hereof) and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof other than payments received in connection with any liability or loss of rental value or business interruption insurance (collectively, Proceeds), in connection with any such Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and, except as otherwise herein provided, shall be paid to the Lender. Borrower shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Proceeds as herein provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Proceeds which does not exceed the Casualty Amount. Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which might result in any Proceeds in excess of the Casualty Amount and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a request for reimbursement by Lender accompanied by an invoice and other evidence of such costs, fees and expenses in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof, and in the event such Proceeds exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held by Lender in the Proceeds Reserve Account in trust for Borrower, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Section 6.2. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file and/or prosecute any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to the extent any Proceeds do not exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower to be applied to restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (except that Proceeds 

66






paid in respect of the insurance described in Section 6.1.4 shall be deposited directly to the Collection Account as revenue of the Property). 
6.2.3     Lender to Take Proceeds. If (i) the Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Principal Amount; (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall have occurred; (iv) the Work is not capable of being completed before the earlier to occur of the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date and the date on which the business interruption insurance carried by Borrower with respect to the Property shall expire (the Cut-Off Date), unless on or prior to the Cut-Off Date the Borrower (x) shall deliver to the Lender and there shall remain in effect a binding written offer, subject only to customary conditions, of an Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank reasonably satisfactory to Lender duly authorized to originate loans secured by real property located in the State for a loan from such Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank to the Borrower in a principal amount of not less than either (1) the then Principal Amount, and Borrower shall be required to repay the Principal Amount and all other amounts due on the Maturity Date, or (2) the Release Price (when combined with the Proceeds related to the affected Individual Properties) applicable to the affected Individual Properties, and Borrower shall be required to obtain a Property Release in accordance with the terms of Section 8.7 with respect to the affected Individual Properties prior to the expiration of the business interruption insurance (in which event Borrower shall have the right to apply the applicable Proceeds to the payments required in connection with such Property Release) and (y) if a Securitization shall have occurred, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; (v) the Property is not capable of being restored substantially to its condition prior to such Taking or casualty and such incapacity shall have a Material Adverse Effect; (vi) Leases demising in the aggregate less than 50% 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 such fire or other casualty remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration; and (vii) Lender reasonably determines that upon the completion of the restoration, the gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Property will not be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, debt service on the Note at a coverage ratio (after deducting all required reserves as required by Lender from net operating income) of at least 2.0 to 1.0, which coverage ratio shall be determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; then in any such case, all Proceeds shall be paid over to Lender (if not paid directly to Lender) and any Proceeds remaining after reimbursement of Lender’s or its agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with recovery of any such Proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket administrative costs and inspection fees) shall be applied by Lender to prepay the Note (without payment of any Liquidated Damages Amount), except to the extent Borrower is required to apply such Proceeds to restore the Property pursuant to the BofA Lease and does not have the right to elect not to restore the Property in accordance with the provisions thereof and the balance, if any shall be paid to Borrower and, if such Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Release Price applicable to the affected Individual Property, such payment shall be treated as payment of such Release Price and, upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 8.7 (other than Section 8.7 (i), (ii), (vi) and (vii), such Individual Property shall be a Release Property. 

67






6.2.4     Borrower to Restore. 
(a) Promptly after the occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Property or a Taking of a portion of the Property, Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecuted, to completion, subject to Excusable Delays, the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Property (in the case of a partial Taking, to the extent it is capable of being restored) so damaged, destroyed or remaining after such Taking in full compliance with all material Legal Requirements and free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances (such repair, restoration and rebuilding are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the Work). The plans and specifications shall require that the Work be done in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character prior to the damage or destruction (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Taking, the Property restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to any partial Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property, if the Work actually performed, if any, or failed to be performed, shall have no Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property from the value that the Property would have had if the same had been restored to its condition immediately prior to such Taking or casualty. Subject to Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.3.3 to cause the Property to be released from the Liens of the Security Instrument, Borrower shall be obligated to restore the Property suffering a casualty or which has been subject to a partial Taking in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 at Borrower’s sole cost and expense whether or not the Proceeds shall be sufficient, provided that, if applicable, the Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower by Lender in accordance with this Agreement. 
(b) If Proceeds are not required to be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.2.3, then Lender shall make the Proceeds which it is holding pursuant to the terms hereof (after payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate (from the date advanced through the date of reimbursement) to the extent the same are not paid within ten (10) Business Days after request for reimbursement by Lender) available to Borrower for payment of or reimbursement of Borrower’s or the applicable Tenant’s expenses incurred with respect to the Work, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) below and in Section 6.2.5: 
(i) at the time of loss or damage or at any time thereafter while Borrower is holding any portion of the Proceeds, there shall be no continuing Event of Default; 
(ii) if, at any time, the estimated cost of the Work (as estimated by the Independent Architect referred to in clause (iii) below) shall exceed the Proceeds (a Deficiency) and for so long as a Deficiency shall exist, Lender shall not be required to make any Proceeds 

68






disbursement to Borrower unless Borrower delivers to Lender evidence of Borrower’s ability to meet such excess costs and which is reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies; 
(iii)     Each of Lender and the Independent Architect shall have reasonably approved the plans and specifications for the Work and any change orders in connection with such plans and specifications; and

Subject to Borrower’s right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall pay or direct the Cash Management Bank to pay, all Impositions and Other Charges which are attributable to or affect the Property or Borrower, prior to the date such Impositions or Other Charges shall become delinquent or late charges may be imposed thereon, directly to the applicable taxing authority with respect thereto, to the extent funds in the Tax Reserve Account are sufficient to pay such Impositions. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Security Instrument shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any tax, assessment, levy or charge imposed on Lender in the nature of a franchise, capital levy, estate, inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.
Section 7.2     No Liens. Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Borrower shall at all times keep, or cause to be kept, the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a Lien on the Property or any portion thereof and shall in any event cause the prompt, full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against the Property or any portion thereof within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice of the filing (whether from Lender, the lienor or any other Person) thereof Borrower shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve the first priority of the Liens of the Security Instrument against the Property, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to its 

70






Obligations as set forth in this Article VII, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances pursuant to Section 19.12 (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate). 
Section 7.3     Contest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Borrower to pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition or to satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, so long as Borrower is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, where appropriate, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action or proceeding (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower shall keep Lender informed of the status of such contest at reasonable intervals, (iii) if Borrower is not providing security as provided in clause (vi) below, adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP or in the Tax Reserve Account or Insurance Reserve Account, as applicable, (iv) either such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement as the case may be, of the contested Imposition, Lien or Legal Requirement and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is bonded, (v) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of Borrower to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under Section 6.1 or the right to full payment of any claims there under, and (vi) in the case of Impositions and Liens which are not bonded in excess of $500,000 individually, or in the aggregate, during such contest, Borrower, shall deposit with or deliver to Lender either Cash and Cash Equivalents or a Letter or Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 125% of (A) the amount of Borrower’s obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security, Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Lender is likely to be subject to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may be.

Borrower further covenants to do all other acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary to protect the security hereof, the specific enumerations herein not excluding the general. Borrower shall not remove or demolish any Improvement on the Property except as the same may be necessary in connection with an Alteration or a restoration in connection with a Taking or casualty, or as otherwise permitted herein, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. 
Section 10.2     Conditions to Alteration. Borrower shall have the right, without Lender's consent, to undertake any alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of the Property or any portion thereof (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an Alteration) so long as either (a) Bank of America, N.A. is permitted to undertake such Alteration without the consent of Borrower pursuant to the BofA Lease or (b) (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) Borrower provides Lender with prior written notice of any Material Alteration, and (iii) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not prohibited by any relevant REAs and the Leases and shall not, upon completion (giving credit to rent and other charges attributable to Leases executed upon such completion), have a Material Adverse Effect on the value, use or operation of the Property taken as a whole or otherwise. Except for Material Alterations performed by Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to the BofA Lease that do not require the consent of Borrower (which Borrower shall provide notice to Lender and which shall be performed in accordance with BofA Lease), any Material Alteration shall be conducted under the supervision of an Independent Architect and, in connection with any Material Alteration, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, for information purposes only and not for approval by Lender, detailed plans and specifications and cost estimates therefor, prepared by such Independent Architect, as well as an Officer's Certificate stating that such Alteration will involve an estimated cost of not more than the Threshold Amount for Alterations at the Property.

In addition to payment or reimbursement from time to time of Borrower's expenses incurred in connection with any Material Alteration or any such Alteration, the amount of such security shall be reduced on any given date to the Independent Architect's written estimate of the cost to complete the Material Alteration or the Alterations (including any retainages), free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted Encumbrances. Costs which are subject to retainage (which in no event shall be less than 5% in the aggregate) shall be treated as due and payable and unpaid from the date they would be due and payable but for their characterization as subject to retainage. In the event that any Material Alteration or Alteration shall be made in conjunction with any restoration with respect to which Borrower shall be entitled to withdraw Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.2, the amount of the Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or Letter of Credit to be furnished pursuant hereto need not exceed the aggregate cost of such restoration and such Material Alteration or Alteration (as estimated by the Independent Architect), less the sum of the amount of any Proceeds which Borrower may be entitled to withdraw pursuant to Section 6.2 and which are held by Lender in accordance with Section 6.2. Payment or reimbursement of Borrower's expenses incurred with respect to any Material Alteration or any such Alteration shall be accomplished upon the terms and conditions specified in Section 6.2.

(a)      that the Material Alteration or Alteration in respect of which such Cash and 

84






Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit was deposited has been substantially completed in all material respects substantially in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor previously filed with Lender under Section 10.2 and that, if applicable, a certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect to such Material Alteration or Alteration by the relevant Governmental Authority(ies) or, if not applicable, that a certificate of occupancy is not required; and 
(b)     that to the knowledge of the certifying Person all amounts which Borrower is or may become liable to pay in respect of such Material Alteration or Alteration through the date of the certification have been paid in full or adequately provided for or are being contested in accordance with Section 7.3 and that lien waivers have been obtained from the general contractor and major subcontractors performing such Material Alterations or Alterations (or such waivers are not customary and reasonably obtainable by prudent managers in the area where the Property is located). 
For the purposes of this Section 10.3 only, Alterations and Material Alterations shall not include tenant improvement alterations, improvements, demolitions or removals undertaken pursuant to a Lease in which the costs thereof are being fully paid out of funds held by Lender in the TI and Leasing Reserve Account or Alterations by Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to the BofA Lease that are permitted to be undertaken by Bank of America, N.A. without the consent of Borrower.

89






need not have been discovered) prior to (1) the foreclosure of any Security Instrument, (2) the delivery by Borrower to Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Property, or (3) Lender's or its designee's taking possession and control of the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder.

Borrower shall not elect to treat any Ground Lease as terminated, canceled or surrendered pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, Section 365(h)(1) thereof) without Lender's prior written consent in the event of any Fee Owner's bankruptcy. In addition, Borrower shall, in the event of any Fee Owner's bankruptcy, reaffirm and ratify the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the applicable Ground Lease and shall remain in possession of the applicable Property and the applicable Leasehold Estate, notwithstanding any rejection thereof by such Fee Owner or any trustee, custodian or receiver.

Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign such Ground Lease to Lender subject to and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide reasonably adequate assurance thereof with respect to all defaults reasonably susceptible of being cured by Lender and of future performance under such Ground Lease.

During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, (i) to perform and comply with all obligations of Borrower under the Ground Leases without relying on any grace period provided therein, (ii) to do and take, without any obligation to do so, such actions as Lender deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default by Borrower under any Ground Lease, including, without limitation, any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever that Borrower may do in order to cure a default under the Ground Leases and (iii) to enter in and upon the Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Lender deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any default of Borrower under the Ground Leases. Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after written request is made therefor by Lender, execute and deliver to Lender or to any party designated by Lender, such further instruments, agreements, powers, assignments, conveyances or the like as may be reasonably necessary to complete or perfect the interest, rights or powers of Lender pursuant to this Section or as may otherwise be required by Lender.

92






Lender. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such arbitration and the settlement thereof shall be borne solely by Borrower, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements. Nothing contained in this Section shall obligate Lender to participate in any such arbitration. 
13.4.6     No Defaults. Borrower shall not do, permit or suffer any event or omission as a result of which there could occur a default by the Borrower under the Ground Leases or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by the Borrower under any Ground Lease which could permit any party to a Ground Lease validly to terminate such Ground Lease (including, without limitation, a default in any payment obligation), and Borrower shall obtain the consent or approval of the applicable Fee Owner to the extent required pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease. 
13.4.7     No Modification. Borrower shall not cancel, terminate, surrender, modify or amend or in any way alter, surrender all or any portion of the Property, permit the alteration of any of the provisions of any Ground Lease or agree to any termination, amendment, modification or surrender of any Ground Lease in a manner that materially increases Borrower's obligations or materially decreases Borrower's rights without Lender's prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. 
13.4.8     Notices of Default. Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any notice of default by any party under any Ground Lease, or of any notice from any Fee Owner of its intention to terminate any Ground Lease or to re-enter and take possession of any portion of the Property, immediately upon delivery or receipt of such notice, as the case may be.

XIV.     SECURITIZATION AND PARTICIPATION 
Section 14.1     Sale of Note and Securitization. At the request of Lender and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participation therein as part of the first successful securitization (such sale and/ or securitization, the Securitization) of rated single or multi-class securities (the Securities) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and this Agreement, including using reasonable efforts to do (or cause to be done) the following (but Borrower will not in any event be required to enter into an amendment that does not satisfy the Amendment Conditions)): 
14.1.1     Provided Information. (i) Provide such non-confidential financial and other information (but not projections) with respect to the Property, Borrower, each Guarantor, Manager and Bank of America, N.A. to the extent such information is reasonably available to Borrower, Guarantors, or Manager, (ii) provide business plans (but not projections) and budgets relating to the Property and (iii) cooperate with the holder of the Note (and its representatives) in obtaining such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies (all information provided pursuant to this Section 14.1 together with all other information heretofore provided to Lender in connection with the Loan, as such may be updated, at Borrower's request, in connection with a Securitization, or hereafter provided by or on behalf 

94






of Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan or a Securitization, being herein collectively called the Provided Information); 
14.1.2     Opinions of Counsel. Use reasonable efforts to cause to be rendered such customary Opinions of Counsel as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, 10b-5 opinions. Borrower's failure to use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered the Opinions of Counsel required hereby within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefor shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder. Any such Opinions of Counsel that Borrower is reasonably required to cause to be delivered in connection with a Securitization shall be delivered at Borrower's expense; and 
14.1.3     Modifications to Loan Documents. Execute such amendments to Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies in order to achieve the required rating or to effect the Securitization (including, without limitation, modifying the Payment Date, as defined in the Note, to a date other than as originally set forth in the Note), provided, that nothing contained in this Section 14.1.3 shall result in any change that does not satisfy the Amendment Conditions. 
Section 14.2     Cooperation. Borrower shall (i) at Lender's request, meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies at reasonable times to discuss the business and operations of the Property, (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies in connection with the Property, and (iii) cooperate in any manner that may reasonably be requested by Lender in connection with a Securitization. Until the Obligations are paid in full, Borrower shall provide the Rating Agencies with all financial reports required hereunder and such other information as they shall reasonably request, including copies of any default notices or other material notices delivered to and received from Lender hereunder, to enable them to continuously monitor the creditworthiness of Borrower and to permit an annual surveillance of the implied credit rating of the Securities. 
Section 14.3     Securitization Financial Statements. Borrower acknowledges that all such financial information delivered by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Article XI may, at Lender's option, be delivered to the Rating Agencies. 
Section 14.4     Securitization Indemnification. 
14.4.1     Disclosure Documents. Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum or a public registration statement (each, a Disclosure Document) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is  



95






required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request, Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower and the Property reasonably requested by Lender. 
14.4.2     Indemnification Certificate. (a) In connection with each of (x) a preliminary and a private placement memorandum, or (y) a preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable, Borrower agrees to provide, at Lender's reasonable request, an indemnification certificate: 
(i)         certifying that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, reasonably designated in writing by Lender for Borrower's review pertaining to Borrower, the Property, and/or the Loan and insofar as such sections or portions thereof specifically pertain to Borrower, the Property, or the Loan (such portions, the Relevant Portions), the Relevant Portions do not (except to the extent specified by Borrower if Borrower does not agree with the statements therein), as of the date of such certificate, to Borrower's actual knowledge, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
(ii)         indemnifying Lender, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and its Affiliates (collectively, DBS) that have prepared the Disclosure Document relating to the Securitization, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Disclosure Document and each person or entity who controls DBS within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the DBS Group), and DBS, together with the DBS Group, each of their respective directors and each person who controls DBS or the DBS Group, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the Underwriter Group) for any actual, out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or liabilities arising out of third party claims (the Liabilities) to which any member of the Underwriter Group may become subject to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Relevant Portions or arise out of or are based upon the omission by Borrower to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Relevant Portions in order to make the statements in the Relevant Portions in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 
(b)         Borrower's liability under clause (a) above shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in a Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by, or furnished at the direction and on behalf of, Borrower in connection with the preparation of those portions of the registration statement, memorandum or prospectus pertaining to Borrower, the Property or the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower and operating statements with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. 

96






(c)         Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 14.4 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 14.4, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it 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 reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 14.4 of its assumption of such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified 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 in conflict with 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 or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in conflict with those available to another indemnified party. 
(d)         In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in this Section 14.4 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any actual, out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages or liabilities relating to third party claims (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 14.4, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such actual, out of pocket losses, third party claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) (but excluding damages for lost profits, diminution in value of the Property and consequential damages); provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution for Liabilities arising therefrom from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the DBS Group's and Borrower's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; (iii) the limited responsibilities and obligations of Borrower as specified herein; and (iv) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. 

97






Section 14.5     Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, to retain the Servicer.

In accordance with the time periods set forth in Section 3.1, Borrower shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to (a) (i) one-twelfth of the annual Impositions that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months that will not be paid by Bank of America, N.A. as additional rent under the BofA Lease (the Monthly Non-BofA Tax Component) and (ii) the amount that will be paid by Bank of America, N.A. as additional rent for the payment of taxes in any calendar month (the Monthly BofA Tax Component), which amounts together shall accumulate to provide with Lender sufficient funds to pay all Impositions at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof, (b) one-twelfth of the annual Other Charges that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months and (c) the amount due and payable to the Servicer for the month in which the deposit is made for the fees and expenses of the Servicer (said monthly amounts in (a), (b) and (c) above hereinafter called the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve Account being the Tax Reserve Amount). As of the Closing Date, the Monthly Non-BofA Tax Component is $318,078.00 and the Monthly BofA Tax Component with respect to each month is estimated as follows: January- $819,179.00, February - $2,109,342.00, March - $1,170,973.00, April- $587,725.00, May$ 411,848.00, June - $352,292.00, July - $319,055.00, August - $323,867.00, September$373,273.00, October - $2,271,569.00, November - $4,646,868.00, and December$1,089,693.00. The Monthly Non-BofA Tax Component and the Monthly BofA Tax Component are subject to adjustment by Lender upon notice to Borrower.

Lender will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount to payments of Impositions, Other Charges and Servicer fees and expenses required to be made by Borrower pursuant this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, subject to Borrower's right to contest Impositions in accordance with Section 7.3. In making any payment relating to the Tax Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of funds in the Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Impositions, Other Charges and Servicer fees and expenses, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Reserve Account.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to anyone action or election of remedies law or rule and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Security Instrument have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the Indebtedness has been paid in full.

(ii)     in Lender's sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a secured 
party under the DCC;

110






(iv)     take all other actions provided in, or contemplated by, this Agreement. 
(c)     With respect to Borrower, the Account Collateral, and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal or interest, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as Lender may elect.

Section 17.3     Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. 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 or any Guarantor shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or any Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. 
Section 17.4     Costs of Collection. In the event that after an Event of Default: (i) the Note or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Lender in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting creditors' rights and involving a claim under the Note or any of the Loan Documents; or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Lender at the Default Rate.

In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, Borrower shall at Borrower's expense resist and defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower's reasonable expense for the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower (unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall compromise the right of Lender (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint its own counsel at Borrower's expense for its defense with respect to any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or potential conflict between Lender and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable; provided further that if Lender 

119






shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable opinion of Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such Indemnified Party and Lender. So long as Borrower is resisting and defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding without Borrower's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section with respect to such action, suit or proceeding and Lender agrees that it will not settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of Borrower; provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable manner as provided above, and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty (30) days' prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such determination, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding and claim the benefit of this Section 19.12 with respect to settlement of such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for indemnification hereunder. The Indemnified Parties shall not settle or compromise any action, proceeding or claim as to which it is indemnified hereunder without notice to Borrower. 
Section 19.13     Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. The Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof. 
Section 19.14     Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower. 
Section 19.15     Liability of Assignees of Lender. No assignee of Lender shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. In addition, no assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement, lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this Section 19.15 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of liability applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract, agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee's gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

120






Section 19.16     No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. 
(a)     Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. 
(b)     This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so. 
Section 19.17     Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, provided that Lender's approval shall not be required in connection with any required Securities and Exchange Commission filings by Borrower or Guarantors or in any prospectus or offering materials filed therewith and provided to third parties. 
Section 19.18     Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower's members and others with interests in Borrower and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. 
Section 19.19     Waiver of Counterclaim and other Actions. Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement or any Loan Document, any and every right it may have to (i) interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a counterclaim which can only be asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement or any Loan Document and 

121






cannot be maintained in a separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding. 
Section 19.20     Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. 
Section 19.21     Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, other than that certain Conditional Commitment, dated as of May 30,2003, between First States Group, L.P. and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements, the than such Conditional Commitment, do not survive execution of this Agreement. 
Section 19.22     Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one document.
