If Lender determines that the Benchmark Replacement Date in respect of LIBOR will not be the Anticipated Benchmark Replacement Date, Lender, upon determining the date of any new expected Benchmark Replacement Date, shall give prompt notice of such date in writing to Borrower.  
(c)Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event other than as set forth in Section 2.2.3(b) above, Lender shall determine the Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof.

(d)The Loan shall be converted, from and after the Benchmark Replacement Date to an Alternate Rate Loan bearing interest based on the Alternate Rate Index; provided, that prior to an such conversion, if there has been a Securitization Lender shall have received either (i) an opinion of nationally recognized REMIC counsel as to the compliance of such conversion with applicable REMIC requirements as determined under the Code, the regulations, revenue rulings, revenue procedures and other administrative, legislative and judicial guidance relating to the tax treatment of REMIC Trusts or (ii) formal guidance issued by the IRS that such conversion to the Alternate Rate Index will comply with REMIC requirements.  The Alternate Rate shall be determined conclusively by Lender or its agent in good faith and such determination shall be binding on Borrower absent manifest error. In connection with the implementation of the Alternate Rate Index, Lender will have the right to make Alternate Rate Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Alternate Rate Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower.
(e)In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
(i)shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, 
-51-






any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate Index or the Alternate Rate Index hereunder;
(ii)shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material;
(iii)shall hereafter subject Lender to any Section 2.7 Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Section 2.7 Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iv)shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition (other than Section 2.7 Taxes) affecting this Agreement or loans made or held by Lender; 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, within ten (10) Business Days following demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such actual additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.  If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than thirty (30) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such actual additional cost or reduced amount.  Failure or delay on the part of Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e) shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate Lender pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(e) for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that Lender notifies Borrower of the change in law or other circumstances giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor.  A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  Subject to Section 2.2.3(f) and Section 2.7 hereof, this provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

LIBOR Rate Loan or Alternate Rate Loan, as applicable, on a day that (A) is not a Payment Date or (B) is a Payment Date if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion pursuant to the terms hereof of the LIBOR Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan on a date other than the Payment Date, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, that (1) Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence and (2) no Breakage Costs shall be owed or payable in connection with a prepayment of the Loan in compliance with Section 2.4.1.  This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations (other than contingent obligations) of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2.4.Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) (i) prior to the occurrence of a Benchmark Replacement Date with respect to LIBOR, to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Rate Loan and (ii) to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, effectuating a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Rate Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any material additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other material respect to Lender (including the effect on any Securitization) as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.
2.2.5.Default Rate.  In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts due pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.
2.2.6.Usury Savings.  This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents 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 hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, 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 hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by 
-53-






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.
2.2.7.Interest Rate Cap Agreement.    Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Sole Member Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price equal to the Strike Price.  The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall at all times be in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall at all times be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit directly into the Lockbox Account any amounts due Sole Member Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if one or more Individual Properties are transferred by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the initial term of the Loan, (v) shall at all times have a notional amount equal to or greater than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and (vi) shall at all times provide for the applicable Strike Price.  Sole Member Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (the “Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement”), all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Lockbox Account) and shall notify the Acceptable Counterparty of such assignment.
(b)Sole Member Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  All amounts paid by the Acceptable Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Sole Member Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account.  Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Acceptable Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
(c)In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Acceptable Counterparty by any Approved Rating Agency, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification, it being understood that the assignment of an Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the downgraded Acceptable Counterparty to a new Acceptable Counterparty shall be deemed to be a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement for purposes hereof.
(d)In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or fails to maintain the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, Lender may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the actual out-of-pocket cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is reimbursed by Borrower to Lender.
-54-






(e)In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender (a) a resolution/consent, as applicable, of the Acceptable Counterparty authorizing the delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender, and (b) an opinion from counsel (which counsel may be inhouse counsel for the Acceptable Counterparty) for the Acceptable Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:
(i)the Acceptable Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(ii)the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Acceptable Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;
(iii)all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Acceptable Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, if any, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and
(iv)the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Acceptable Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, if any, has been duly executed and delivered by the Acceptable Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Acceptable Counterparty, enforceable against the Acceptable Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
(f)Intentionally omitted
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.2.7 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, Lender converts the Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.3 above (each, a “Rate Conversion”), then:
(i)within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to 
-55-






Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement); and
(ii)following any Rate Conversion, in lieu of satisfying the condition described in Section 2.8(c) with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement relating to any outstanding Extension Term, Borrower shall instead enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement on or prior to the first day of such Extension Term.
(h)As used herein, “Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement” shall mean an interest rate cap agreement between an Acceptable Counterparty and Borrower, obtained by Borrower and collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to an Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement (or substantially similar collateral assignment) and shall contain each of the following:
(i)a term expiring no earlier than, in the case of clause (g)(i) above, the end of the Interest Period in which the Maturity Date occurs and, in the case of clause (g)(ii) above, the end of the Interest Period in which the last day of the requested Extension Term occurs;
(ii)the notional amount of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan;
(iii)it provides that the only monetary and material obligation of Borrower thereunder is the making of a single payment to the Acceptable Counterparty thereunder upon the execution and delivery thereof and there are no other conditions to the effectiveness of such Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement;
(iv)it provides to Lender and Borrower (as determined by Lender in its sole but good faith discretion), for the term of the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement, a protection against rising interest rates that is no less beneficial to Borrower and Lender than (A) in the case of clause (g)(i) above, that which was provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement being replaced by the Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement and (B) in the case of clause (g)(ii) above, that which was intended to be provided by the Interest Rate Cap Agreement that, but for the operation of Section 2.2.7(g), would have been required to have been delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(c) below as a condition to the requested Extension Term; and
(v)without limiting any of the provisions of the preceding clauses (i) through (iv) above, it satisfies all of the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) and clause (v) of Section 2.2.7(a) hereof. 
From and after the date of any Rate Conversion, all references to “Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” herein (other than in the definition of “Interest Rate Cap Agreement”, the definition of “Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement” and as referenced in the first sentence of Section 2.2.7(a) hereof) shall be deemed to refer or relate, as applicable, to a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender 
-56-






acknowledges and agrees that (a) Borrower shall have the right, in lieu of delivering a new Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement to satisfy the foregoing, to modify the then existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement so that it satisfies the conditions set forth in clauses (i) – (v) of the definition of “Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement” herein and (b) an Interest Rate Cap Agreement that satisfies the conditions set forth in clause (i) – (v) as a result of the application of “hard wired” provisions contained therein as reasonably determined by Lender shall be deemed to satisfy the requirement to deliver a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement.
Section 2.3.Loan Payment.
2.3.1.Monthly Debt Service Payments.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to and including August 14, 2021, which interest shall be calculated in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 hereof and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on the Payment Date occurring in September 2021 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to interest due for the related Interest Period at the LIBOR Rate or, if the Loan has converted to an Alternate Rate Loan, at the Alternate Rate, for such related Interest Period and then to the principal amount of the Loan due in accordance with this Agreement, and lastly, to any other amounts due and unpaid pursuant to the Loan Documents hereto. 
2.3.2.Payments Generally.  The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and shall end on and include August 14, 2021.  Thereafter during the term of the Loan, each Interest Period shall commence on the fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month preceding the calendar month in which the related Payment Date occurs and shall end on and include the fourteenth (14th) day of the calendar month in which the related Payment Date occurs.  For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the last day of the related Interest Period.  All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3.Payment on Maturity Date.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.

If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (excluding the amounts due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum and the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted 
-57-






by applicable law.  For the avoidance of doubt, except with respect to payment of the Monthly Debt Service Payment, regularly scheduled deposits to any Reserve Accounts (with respect to which no notice or demand is required) and all other payments due on a Payment Date, no late payment charge shall be applicable until demand therefor has been made and the applicable grace period for payment (as and to the extent provided in the Loan Documents) following such demand has expired.
2.3.5.Method and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

If a notice of prepayment is given by Borrower to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.1(b), the amount designated for prepayment and all other sums required under this Section 2.4, unless such notice is revoked by Borrower in accordance with this Section 2.4.1(b), shall be due and payable on the proposed prepayment date.  
2.4.2.Mandatory Prepayments.  On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make and does not otherwise elect to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Individual Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion.  Other than following an Event of Default, no Spread Maintenance Payment or other premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 and such prepayment shall not reduce the Par Prepayment Amount.  An application of Net Proceeds pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 shall reduce the Release Amount of the applicable Individual Property on a dollar for dollar basis.
2.4.3.Prepayments After Default.  If, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including, without limitation, through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall (a) include interest at the Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan through the last calendar day of the Interest Period within which such tender or recovery occurs and (b) be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower and shall in all instances include (i) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Payment if such tender or recovery occurs prior to the Spread Maintenance End Date and (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan to be paid through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.

Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days notice to Lender).
(m)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that Lender has given Borrower notice of a Default hereunder with respect to any Individual Property, Borrower may elect to obtain a release of such Individual Property prior to such Default becoming an Event of Default in accordance with Section 8.1(a) below (a “Default Release”).

In connection with any Default Release, Borrower shall be required to satisfy the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5.2 (including the payment of the Adjusted Release Amount).

No provision of the Loan Documents or the New Mezzanine Loan Documents shall create a debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and the New Mezzanine Lender.
Section 2.7.Withholding Taxes.
(a)Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Section 2.7 Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of Borrower) requires the deduction or withholding of any Section 2.7 Tax from any such payment by Borrower, then Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.7 Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.7) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law any Other Taxes.
(c)Indemnification by Borrower.

As soon as practicable after any payment of Section 2.7 Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.7, Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.7(e)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or 
(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is a partnership or is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 or Exhibit A-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit A-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; 
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and 
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as may be necessary for Borrower to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.7 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.7 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.7 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.7 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.7 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.7 Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.7 Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(g)Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.7 shall survive any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.7, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 2.7, and Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7, for any amounts which were incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the amounts payable by Borrower under this Section 2.7.

4.1.3.No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of the Individual Properties or Borrower’s assets is subject, nor (to Borrower’s knowledge) will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4.Litigation.  Other than as set forth on Schedule 4.1.4, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, Guarantor or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Guarantor or any Individual Property which would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.5.Agreements.  Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which, assuming such agreement, instrument or restriction is complied with, would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any Individual Property is bound which would or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Other than as set forth on Schedule 4.1.5, Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Properties are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (xxiii) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6.Title.  Borrower has good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely 
-73-






affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan.  Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

4.1.7.Solvency.  Borrower has (a) not entered into this transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.  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).  No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower or any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower nor any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.  Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
4.1.8.Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading in any material respect.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially and adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
-74-






4.1.9.ERISA.
(a)Generally.  Each of Borrower, Guarantor and their ERISA Affiliates is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other applicable law relating to any Plans and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder.  Assuming that no portion of the Loan is funded or held with “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations (unless the applicable Lender is relying on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which are satisfied), neither Borrower nor Guarantor has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any liability for a “prohibited transaction” (as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code).  No ERISA Event or termination of any Plan has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur and no notice of termination has been filed by or with the PBGC with respect to any Plan established or maintained by Borrower, Guarantor or any ERISA Affiliate.  Neither Borrower, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate is or was within the six (6) year period preceding the date hereof a party to any Multiemployer Plan.  With respect to each Foreign Benefit Arrangement and with respect to each Foreign Plan, (i) any employer and employee contributions required by law or by the terms of any Foreign Benefit Arrangement or any Foreign Plan have been made, or, if applicable, accrued, in accordance with normal accounting practices, save for any immaterial contribution arrears of third party participating employers, (ii) the fair market value of the assets of each funded Foreign Plan, the liability of each insurer for any Foreign Plan funded through insurance or the book reserve established for any Foreign Plan, together with any accrued contributions, is sufficient to procure or provide for the accrued benefit obligations, as of the date hereof, with respect to all current and former participants in such Foreign Plan according to the actuarial assumptions and valuations most recently used to account for such obligations in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles, and (iii) each Foreign Plan that is required to be registered has been registered and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities.

Each REA is in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party to any REA, is in default thereunder in any material respect, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default in any material respect thereunder.  Except as described herein, the REA has not been modified, amended or supplemented.  The foregoing representations in this Section 4.1.42 shall be deemed modified to incorporate and refer to any matters disclosed in the estoppel certificate delivered by a counterpart to an REA on or prior to the closing of the Loan.

All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.
ARTICLE V – BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1.Affirmative Covenants.  From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any Loan Document to survive the indefeasible satisfaction of the Note in full, provided that such indemnification or other obligations are inchoate in nature) or the earlier release or assignment of the Lien of the Mortgages encumbering the Properties (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
-87-






5.1.1.Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Borrower shall, or with respect any Tenant under a Triple-Net Leased Property, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises necessary for the conduct of its business and comply in all material respects with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Properties, including, without limitation, building and zoning codes and certificates of occupancy.  There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to never permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to, and with respect any Tenant under a Triple-Net Leased Property or other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant not to, commit any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.  Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names (if any) and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business (subject to the terms hereof) and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair (normal wear and tear and Casualty excepted), and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Loan Documents.  Borrower shall, or with respect to any Tenant under a Triple-Net Leased Property, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to, keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement.  After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Properties or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in all material respects in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute an event of default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result thereof; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or any Individual Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or if no security is required in such proceeding, as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to ensure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security held by Lender, after prior notice to Borrower, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal 
-88-






Requirement is finally established or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2.Taxes and Other Charges.  Borrower shall, or with respect to any Tenant under a Triple Net Lease, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to, pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as there are funds in the Reserve Accounts available to pay Taxes and Other Charges and Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.  Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof).  Subject to the terms of this Section 5.1.2 and Section 5.2.2, Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against any Individual Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for (or cause to be paid) all utility services provided to the Properties, subject to Borrower’s right to contest the same as hereinafter described.  After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) no Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in all material respects in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute an event of default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted substantially in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result thereof; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the applicable Individual Property (except that if such Taxes or Other Charges must be paid sooner in order to avoid being delinquent, then Borrower shall cause the same to be paid prior to delinquency, and upon making such payment prior to delinquency, Borrower may continue such contest); and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or if no security is required in such proceeding, as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to ensure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon.  Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is finally established or any Individual Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any imminent danger of the Lien of any Mortgage being primed by any related Lien securing the contested charge.

5.1.5.Notice of Default.  Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse change in Borrower’s or Guarantor’s condition, financial or otherwise, of which Borrower has knowledge, or of the occurrence of any Event of Default of which Borrower has knowledge.
5.1.6.Cooperate in Legal Proceedings.  Borrower shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

Borrower shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with any Individual Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable, out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection therewith (including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting any Individual Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance Proceeds.
5.1.9.Further Assurances.  Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense:
(a)furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or which are reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith with no material financial burden to Borrower unless Borrower is otherwise obligated herein or in any other Loan Document to provide such document, certificate, agreement and/or instrument at Borrower’s cost and expense;
(b)execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts reasonably necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the

(c)do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time.
5.1.10.Principal Place of Business, State of Organization.  Borrower will not cause or permit any change to be made in any Individual Borrower’s name, identity (including its trade name or names), place of organization or formation (as set forth in Section 4.1.36 hereof) or any Individual Borrower’s limited liability company or partnership or other structure (except as permitted pursuant to Section 5.2.10 hereof); provided, that with respect to a change of name only, Borrower shall be permitted to make such change if Borrower shall have first notified Lender in writing of such change at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action required by Lender for the purpose of perfecting or protecting the lien and security interests of Lender pursuant to this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.  No Individual Borrower shall change its organizational structure or place of organization or formation without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be given or denied in Lender’s sole discretion and delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation from the Approved Rating Agencies.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, execute and deliver additional security agreements and other instruments which may be necessary to effectively evidence or perfect Lender’s security interest in the Properties as a result of such change of principal place of business or place of organization approved in accordance with the foregoing sentence.  Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrower keeps its books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium or recording, including software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, has been for the preceding four months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Borrower) and will continue to be the address of Borrower set forth at the introductory paragraph of this Agreement.  Borrower shall not change its organizational identification number.  If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, Borrower promptly shall notify Lender of such organizational identification number.  If at any time an Individual Borrower is a limited partnership, it shall be a Delaware limited partnership with two partners, the general partner must be a Delaware limited liability company that is wholly owned by a single-member Delaware limited liability company and directly or indirectly wholly owned by the limited partner, and both the general partner and limited partner shall be 100% owned (directly or indirectly) by Guarantor.

Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower or any other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such 
-91-






copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s accounting records with respect to the Properties, as Lender shall determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.
(b)Borrower will furnish to Lender annually, (i) within seventy-five (75) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, a complete copy of Borrower’s unaudited annual financial statements and (ii) within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, (1) a complete copy of Borrower’s annual financial statements audited by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Lender prepared in accordance with the Approved Accounting Basis covering each Individual Property (which may be on a consolidated basis with Guarantor, and provided that such consolidated statements shall include appropriate disclosures in the footnotes to indicate that the financials are prepared on a consolidated basis and include the results of each Individual Borrower), (2) a listing of each such Borrower and their respective Properties, (3) the unaudited statements of income and expense and cash flow for Borrower and each Individual Property, (4) an unaudited balance sheet for Borrower and (5) the unaudited operating statements for each Individual Property on a property level basis from the prior twelve (12) month period. Unless otherwise specified, the foregoing materials shall be for and as of December 31 of the most recently completed fiscal year.
(c)Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter the following items, accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that such items are true, correct, accurate, and complete and fairly present the financial condition and results of the operations of Borrower and the Properties on a combined basis as well as each Individual Property (subject to normal year-end adjustments) as applicable:  (i) a rent roll for the subject quarter; (ii) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared for each calendar quarter, noting net operating income, gross income, and operating expenses (not including any contributions to the Replacement Reserve Fund and the Required Repair Fund), and other information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of the Properties during such calendar quarter, and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses; and (iii) a calculation reflecting the annual Debt Yield for the immediately preceding three (3) month period as of the last day of such quarter.  In addition, such certificate shall also be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate stating that the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1.30 are true and correct as of the date of such certificate.  
(d)Attached hereto as Schedule 5.1.11 is the Approved Annual Budget for the 2021 Fiscal Year. For each Fiscal Year thereafter, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year.  The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s reasonable written approval; provided if no Cash Sweep Period is then continuing, the same shall be provided to Lender for informational purposes only and not be subject to Lender’s approval (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”).  In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, Lender shall advise Borrower of 
-92-






such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender.  Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget.  Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Period, the most recent Annual Budget applicable to the remainder of the applicable Fiscal Year that was previously delivered to Lender for informational purposes shall remain in effect (without requiring the approval of Lender) and shall be deemed to be the Approved Annual Budget for such Fiscal Year.  Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, utility costs and other non-discretionary items, and up to a ten percent (10%) variance for each other line item in such Approved Annual Budget.  Borrower may at any time during a Fiscal Year submit a revised Annual Budget to Lender, such revised Annual Budget to be subject to the approval of Lender in accordance with this Section 5.1.11(d) only if a Cash Sweep Period is then continuing.  Following a Securitization, each request for approval of an Annual Budget shall be delivered by Borrower to the directing certificate holder in addition to Lender. If Borrower’s first correspondence to Lender requesting approval of an Annual Budget contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating “FIRST NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THAT CERTAIN LOAN AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 15, 2021, WITH RESPECT TO THE CIM RETAIL PORTFOLIO. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED GRANTED,” and is accompanied by such information and documents as is reasonably required for Lender to adequately evaluate such request, and if Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such request within such period, a second notice requesting approval is delivered to Lender from Borrower containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THAT CERTAIN LOAN AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 15, 2021, WITH RESPECT TO THE CIM RETAIL PORTFOLIO. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST IN WRITING WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS WILL RESULT IN YOUR APPROVAL BEING DEEMED GRANTED,” and is accompanied by such information and documents as is reasonably required for Lender to adequately evaluate such request, and if Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such request (or denies such request without stating the grounds for such denial in reasonable detail) prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, then Lender shall be deemed to have approved the applicable Annual Budget submitted by Borrower.
(e)In the event that Borrower desires to or must incur an extraordinary operating expense or capital expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Expense”), and a Cash Sweep Period is then continuing, then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  For the avoidance of doubt, Approved TI/LC Expenses shall not be deemed to be Extraordinary 
-93-






Expenses.  Additionally, each line item set forth in an Approved Annual Budget may be adjusted up to a ten percent (10%) variance.
(f)Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible), such further detailed information with respect to the operation of the Properties and the financial affairs of Borrower as may be reasonably requested by Lender.
(g)Borrower shall furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible), financial and sales information from any Tenant designated by Lender (to the extent such financial and sales information is required to be provided under the applicable Lease and same is received by Borrower after request therefor).
(h)Borrower will cause Guarantor to furnish to Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Guarantor, financial statements audited by an independent certified public accountant, which shall include an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement of Guarantor, in the form reasonably required by Lender.
(i)Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form and (ii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrower’s data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Excel for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).  Borrower agrees that Lender may disclose information regarding the Properties and Borrower that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with the Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.
5.1.12.Business and Operations.  Borrower will continue to engage in the businesses presently conducted by it as and to the extent the same are necessary for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Properties.  Borrower will qualify to do business and will remain in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction of its formation as and to the extent the same are required for the ownership, maintenance, management and operation of the Properties.  Borrower shall at all times during the term of the Loan, continue to own all of Equipment, Fixtures and Personal Property which are necessary to operate the Properties in the manner required hereunder and in the manner in which it is currently operated.

Borrower will warrant and defend (a) the title to each Individual Property and every part thereof, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances) and (b) the validity and priority of the Liens of the Mortgages on the Properties, subject only to Liens permitted hereunder (including Permitted Encumbrances), in each case against the claims of all Persons whomsoever.  Borrower shall reimburse Lender for any losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender if an interest in any Individual Property, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.

(b)In the event that Lender has reason to believe that an environmental hazard exists on any Individual Property that may, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, endanger any Tenants or other occupants of such Individual Property or their guests or the general public or may materially and adversely affect the value of such Individual Property, upon reasonable notice from Lender, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s expense, promptly cause an engineer or consultant satisfactory to Lender to conduct an environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be limited to the matter giving rise to such belief and any other matters reasonably related thereto) and take any samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials or any other invasive testing as part of such scope and promptly deliver the results of any such assessment, audit, sampling or other testing; provided, however, if such results are not delivered to Lender within a reasonable period or if Lender has reason to believe that an environmental hazard exists on such Individual Property that, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, endangers any Tenant or other occupant of such Individual Property or their guests or the general public or may materially and adversely affect the value of such Individual Property, upon reasonable notice to Borrower, Lender and any other Person designated by Lender, including but not limited to any receiver, any representative of a governmental entity, and any environmental consultant, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to enter upon such Individual Property at all reasonable times to assess any and all aspects of the environmental condition of such Individual Property and its use, including but not limited to conducting any environmental assessment or audit (the scope of which shall be determined in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion) and taking samples of soil, groundwater or other water, air, or building materials, and reasonably conducting other invasive testing as part of such assessment.

(d)Borrower hereby represents and warrants that attached hereto as Exhibit B is a true and complete copy of the operations and maintenance programs for the Properties (“O&M Program”), and Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, during the term of the Loan, including any extension or renewal thereof, Borrower shall comply in all respects with the terms 
-97-






and conditions of the O&M Program.  In the event that Borrower is able to demonstrate to Lender that an O&M Program is no longer necessary as determined by Lender in its good faith, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate such O&M Program.
5.1.20.Leasing Matters.  
(a)Any Major Leases with respect to any Individual Property written after the date hereof shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless an Event of Default is continuing.  Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.  All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates.  All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms.  All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable Individual Property and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale.  Promptly upon a request by Borrower, Lender shall execute and deliver a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C with such commercially reasonable changes to such form as may be reasonably requested by the Tenant under the applicable Lease and reasonably approved by Lender.  Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner and in all material respects; (ii) shall enforce and may amend or terminate the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to materially impair the value of the Individual Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a Tenant of any Leases shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower shall be permitted to terminate or accept the surrender of a Lease in the ordinary course of business; provided, further, that (x) in no event shall Borrower be permitted to relocate the applicable Tenant to any property that is not an Individual Property or use funds in any Reserve Account to pay the Tenant any buy-out fee, termination fee or similar payment and (y) if a Cash Sweep Period or Reserve Trigger Period is continuing, such termination will only be permitted if in the reasonable business judgment of Borrower, such termination will be accretive to the Properties and to Net Operating Income and; provided, further, that no such termination or surrender of any Major Lease will be permitted without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); (iii) except as set forth on Schedule 4.1.26, shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases  in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all new Leases and all amendments, modifications, extensions, and renewals of existing Leases with Tenants that are Affiliates of Borrower shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender.  Lender shall grant or deny with a reasonable explanation any consent required hereunder within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of the applicable request and all documents in connection therewith.  In the event 
-98-






that Lender fails to respond within said fifteen (15) day period, such failure shall be deemed to be the consent and approval of Lender if (A) Borrower has delivered to Lender the applicable documents, with the notation “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED, FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS APPROVAL REQUEST WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS FROM RECEIPT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE LENDER’S APPROVAL” prominently displayed in bold, all caps and fourteen (14) point or larger font in the transmittal letter requesting approval and (B) Lender does not approve or reject (with a reasonable explanation) the applicable request within fifteen (15) days from the date Lender receives such request as evidenced by a certified mail return receipt or confirmation by a reputable national overnight delivery service that the same has been delivered.
(b)With respect to any request for approval by Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.20 in connection with any new Lease or a Lease modification, Borrower may present prospective leasing transactions to Lender for its approval (to the extent Lender’s approval is required hereunder) prior to the negotiation of a final Lease or Lease modification.  Such presentation shall include a summary term sheet of all material terms of the proposed lease, including, among other things, the lease term, rental rate, capital expenditures (lease commissions and tenant improvements, if any), other concessions (free rent, moving allowance,  etc.), and lease options (termination, renewal, contraction and expansion, including the financial terms, if any, associated with such lease options), if any, for the proposed leasing transaction, or a draft of the Lease or Lease modification, either as supplemented by any additional information concerning such lease or the tenant thereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender (the “Lease Term Sheet”).  If Lender approves or is deemed to have approved the Lease Term Sheet, Lender’s prior approval shall not be required for any portion of the final Lease or Lease modification, as applicable, that is consistent with the terms of the Lease Term Sheet, provided that such new Lease or Lease modification is fully executed within one hundred fifty (150) days after the Lease Term Sheet is received by Lender; provided that so long as the economic terms in such Lease Term Sheet reflect the then current local market rates or better, such period of time shall be extend to two hundred seventy (270) days; provided, however, that (w) nothing contained in this sentence shall be construed to require Lender’s approval of any Lease for which approval is not required by the other provisions of this Section 5.1.20, (x) (i) the terms of such final lease document (other than the approved or deemed approved economic terms), taken as a whole, are commercially reasonable when compared with the terms and conditions of Leases in similarly situated properties in similar contexts at the time in question, taking into account, among other things, the size, creditworthiness and bargaining power of the a prospective tenant, the terms of such Lease (which determination may be made in Borrower’s reasonable judgment), and (ii) the terms of such final Lease document are consistent in all material respects with the approved (or deemed approved) terms in the Lease Term Sheet, (y) Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of the following:  (1) the fully-executed Lease entered into by Borrower in accordance with this Section 5.1.20 and (2) the final Lease Term Sheet, if any (to the extent that such final Lease Term Sheet contains revisions or changes that were not contained in the Lease Term Sheet initially reviewed and approved or deemed approved by Lender in accordance with this Section 5.1.20(b)), and (z) Borrower’s delivery of the documents referred to in (y) above shall be deemed to be Borrower’s certification that the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1.20 have been satisfied.  Lender hereby approves the amendments to the Leases described on Schedule 5.1.20.

5.1.21.Alterations.  Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Material Alterations to be performed by or on behalf of Borrower or, to the extent Borrower has a consent or approval right with respect thereto, any Tenant.  If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at any Individual Property or the Properties in the aggregate (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed the Material Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following:  (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that, at Lender’s option after a Securitization, with respect to which the Approved Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to or (D) an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution having a rating by S&P of not less than “A1+” (and the equivalent by Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities) if the term of such letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that, at Lender’s option, the Approved Rating Agencies have provided a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to.  Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Material Alteration Threshold and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations if Borrower shall fail to timely make such payments. Following a Securitization, each request for approval of a Material Alteration shall be delivered by Borrower to the directing certificate holder in addition to Lender. If Borrower’s first correspondence to Lender requesting approval of a Material Alteration contains a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating “FIRST NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THAT CERTAIN LOAN AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 15, 2021, WITH RESPECT TO THE CIM RETAIL PORTFOLIO. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED GRANTED,” and is accompanied by such information and documents as is reasonably required for Lender to adequately evaluate such request, and if Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such request within such period, a second notice requesting approval is delivered to Lender from Borrower containing a bold-faced, conspicuous legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT WITH RESPECT TO THAT CERTAIN LOAN AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF JULY 15, 2021, WITH RESPECT TO THE CIM RETAIL PORTFOLIO. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST IN WRITING WITHIN 5 BUSINESS DAYS WILL RESULT IN YOUR APPROVAL BEING DEEMED GRANTED,” and is accompanied by such information and documents as is reasonably required for Lender to adequately evaluate such request, and if Lender fails to grant or withhold its approval to such request (or denies such request without stating the grounds for such denial in reasonable detail) prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, then Lender shall be deemed to have approved the applicable Material Alteration submitted by Borrower. 
5.1.22.Operation of Property.    Borrower shall cause the Properties to be operated, in all material respects, in accordance with the Management Agreements (or Replacement Management Agreement) as applicable.  In the event that any Management Agreement expires or 
-100-

(b)Borrower shall:  (i) promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreements and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under any Management Agreement; and (iv) enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under the Management Agreements, in a commercially reasonable manner.
5.1.23.Embargoed Person.  Borrower has performed and shall perform reasonable due diligence to insure that at all times throughout the term of the Loan, including after giving effect to any Transfers permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, (a) none of the funds or other assets of Borrower and Guarantor constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person; (b) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law; and (c) none of the funds of Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, have been derived from, or are the proceeds of, any unlawful activity, including money laundering, terrorism or terrorism activities, with the result that the investment in Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loan is in violation of law, or may cause any Individual Property to be subject to forfeiture or seizure.
5.1.24.Payment of Obligations.  Borrower will pay its obligations, including tax liabilities, that, if not paid, could result in a Material Adverse Effect before the same shall become delinquent or in default, except where (a) the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, (b) Borrower has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP, or (c) the failure to make payment pending such contest could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
5.1.25.Taxes.  Each Individual Borrower will be treated as a partnership or a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  Borrower will timely file or cause to be filed for itself all U.S. federal income and other material tax returns and reports required to be filed by it and will pay or cause to be paid all U.S. federal income and other material taxes and related liabilities required to be paid by it, except taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which Borrower sets aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.  Borrower will not permit any Liens for Section 2.7 Taxes to be imposed on or with respect to any of its income or assets, other than Liens for Section 2.7 Taxes not yet due and payable and for which Borrower sets aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP.

(g)upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may, subject to the terms of the Condominium Documents, as applicable, exercise its remedial right to cause the resignation of the directors appointed by Borrower to any Condominium Board, if any, and Borrower shall (i) elect new directors approved by Lender to 
-102-






such Condominium Board and (ii) cause such replacement directors to deliver new resignations to Lender substantially in the form delivered to Lender on the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, during an Event of Default, any of the directors of any Condominium Board resign or if Lender elects to cause the resignation of any directors of a Condominium Board, Lender may exercise its rights under the irrevocable voting proxy delivered to Lender on the Closing Date to elect new directors of its choice; and
(h)To the extent that any Individual Property is subject to a condominium statute, Borrower shall not create any units pursuant to such statute or otherwise.
5.1.27.REA. Borrower shall at all times comply, or with respect to any Tenant under a Triple Net Lease, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to comply, in all material respects with all REAs.  Borrower agrees that without the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Borrower will not amend or modify any of the REAs in any manner that is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the applicable Individual Property or which materially increases Borrower’s obligations or decreases Borrower’s rights thereunder, or terminate any of the REAs, if the same would have a material adverse effect on such Individual Property, in each case without Lender’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Section 5.2.Negative Covenants.  From the date hereof until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any Loan Document to survive the indefeasible satisfaction of the Note in full, provided that such indemnification or other obligations are inchoate in nature) or the earlier release or assignment of the Liens of the Mortgages and any other collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that it will not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

5.2.6.Zoning.  Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of any Individual Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that would reasonably be expected to result in such use becoming a nonconforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior written consent of Lender.
5.2.7.No Joint Assessment.  Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of any Individual Property (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from such Individual Property, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of such Individual Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such real property portion of such Individual Property.
5.2.8.Intentionally Omitted.
5.2.9.ERISA.    Assuming that no portion of the Loan is funded or held with “plan assets” within the meaning of the Plan Asset Regulations (unless the applicable Lender is relying on an applicable prohibited transaction exemption, the conditions of which are satisfied), neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (including but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt 
-104-






(under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or Similar Law.
(b)Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole discretion, that (A) neither Borrower nor Guarantor is subject to any state statute regulating investment of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is a Similar Law and (B) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

(c)Borrower and Guarantor will fund or cause to be funded each Plan established or maintained by Borrower, Guarantor, or any ERISA Affiliate, as the case may be, so that there is never a failure to satisfy the minimum funding standards, within the meaning of Sections 412 or 430 of the Internal Revenue Code or Section 302 of ERISA (whether or not such standards are waived).  As soon as possible and in any event within ten (10) days after Borrower knows that any ERISA Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, Lender will be provided with a statement, signed by an Authorized Representative of Borrower, and/or Guarantor, describing said ERISA Event and the action which Borrower and/or Guarantor proposes to take with respect thereto.

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties.
(b)Without the prior written consent of Lender, and except to the extent otherwise set forth in Section 2.5 or this Section 5.2.10, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party do any of the following (collectively, a “Transfer”):  (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant,

-106-






(51%) owned and Controlled by a Qualified Transferee or a Qualified Sponsor Entity; provided, that, in each case after such merger, consolidation, other corporate transaction or sale, Guarantor and/or a Qualified Transferee or Qualified Sponsor Entity shall Control Borrower (a Transfer described in this clause (z), a “Guarantor Transfer”); provided, however, that as a condition precedent to each such Transfer pursuant to clause (v), (x), (y) or (z), other than the Transfer of securities of a Public Vehicle, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of such proposed Transfer (but only to the extent such Transfer results in a transferee (whether individually or together with its Affiliates) owning twenty percent (20%) (provided that prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, the foregoing threshold shall be ten percent (10%) and shall include any Person that Controls Borrower) or more of the indirect equity ownership interests in Borrower following such Transfer).

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from each Individual Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6.1 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

For so long as TRIPRA or a subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization thereof, is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, 
-112-






Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization thereof is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the Loan documents, but in such event Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the then-current insurance premium that is payable with respect to the property and rental loss/business income insurance required hereunder on a stand alone basis (exclusive of the cost of terrorism or earthquake components of such  casualty and rental loss/business income insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall be required to purchase only the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount; and
(x)upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to any Individual Property located in or around the region in which any Individual Property is located.
(b)All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of at least “A” by S&P, “A2” or better by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s rates the Securities and rates the applicable carriers, and “A” or better by Fitch, to the extent Fitch rates the Securities and rates the applicable carriers (provided however, if Borrower elects to have its insurance coverage provided by a syndicate of insurers, then, if such syndicate consists of five (5) or more members, at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage (or seventy-five percent (75%) if such syndicate consists of four (4) or fewer members) and shall be provided by insurance companies having a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, “A2” or better by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s rated the Securities and rates the applicable carriers, and “A” or better by Fitch, to the extent Fitch rates the Securities and rates the applicable carriers, with no remaining carrier below “BBB” by S&P, “Baa2” by Moody’s, to the extent Moody’s rated the Securities and rates the applicable carriers, and “BBB” by Fitch, to the extent Fitch rates the Securities and rates the applicable carriers),  and (2) a rating of “A:VIII” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain a portion of the property coverage with Starr Indemnity & Liability Company (“Starr”), rated “A XV” by AM Best, on the general liability policy, in their current participation amount and position within the syndicate provided that (x) the respective AM Best rating of Starr of the date hereof is not withdrawn or downgraded below the date hereof and (y) at renewal of the current policy term, Borrower shall replace Starr with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove.  In the event such insurer's rating is withdrawn or downgraded below this rating, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender and replace such insurer with an insurer meeting 
-113-






the rating requirements set forth herein.  The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee.  Upon the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies, to be followed by complete copies of the Policies upon issuance, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.  Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days, forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any proposed or actual modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(c)Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to any Individual Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”). To the extent that the Policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth in Section 6.1(a) for each Individual Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis.  Further, with respect to the flood, earthquake or wind/named storm insurance provided under a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent of (x) any erosion or reduction of the applicable limits as of the Closing Date and (y) any increase in the aggregation of the insured values sharing the applicable limit under the blanket policy, and such changes shall be subject to Lender’s approval.
(d)All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall name Borrower as a named insured and, with respect to liability policies, except for the Policies referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vi) and (vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property policies, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e)All property Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any other insured under the Policy, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premiums;
(iii)the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew the Policy prior to its expiration; and
-114-






(iv)Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f)If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2.Casualty.  If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Individual Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof.  Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.  In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3.Condemnation.    Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If any portion of any Individual Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Individual Property pursuant to 
-115-






Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof.  If any Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(b)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation of an Individual Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of such Individual Property), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts (in each case without penalty or premium):  (i) the Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage.  Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.4.1 hereof (other than the requirements to prepay the Debt in full and provide thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender and other than the requirement to pay a prepayment premium).
Section 6.4.Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Individual Property:
(a)If the Net Proceeds shall be less than three and one-half percent (3.5%)  of the original principal balance of the Loan and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than three and one-half percent (3.5%)  of the original principal balance of the Loan, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than three and one-half percent (3.5%) of the original principal balance of the Loan Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4.  The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean:  (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i), (iv), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to seventy-five percent (75%);

(E)Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, (3) Reserve Funds available to be applied to Restoration, and/or (4) by other funds of Borrower;

(ii)The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full (other than Casualty Retainage), and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which (1) have not 
-118-






either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the applicable Individual Property or (2) are not being contested in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2.2.
(iii)All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and reasonable acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”).  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration and performing work in excess of $500,000, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage.  The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed.  The Casualty Retainage, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in Restoration, shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the related Title Insurance Policy.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety 
-119-






company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the applicable contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii)The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited in the Lockbox Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c)All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, without payment of any prepayment consideration, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
(d)In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to an Individual Property, or other transfer of title of an Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(e)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents (except Section 6.3(b) of this Agreement) to the extent that there is a Casualty or Condemnation with respect to any Triple Net Leased Property for which insurance is maintained by the Tenant for such Triple Net Leased Property with respect thereto or any Individual Property for which 
-120-






insurance is maintained by the counterparty to an REA encumbering such Individual Property, the provisions set forth in the applicable Lease with respect to such Triple Net Leased Property or REA with respect to such Individual Property, as applicable, shall govern the use of such proceeds and Borrower’s obligations in connection with the applicable Restoration; provided that in all cases, to the extent not prohibited by the applicable Lease or REA, Lender shall be entitled hold the Net Proceeds and to controlled the disbursement thereof; and provided further, however, to the extent the compliance by Borrower with the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4 would not breach the terms and provisions of the Lease with respect to such Triple Net Leased Property or REA with respect to such Individual Property, as applicable, Borrower shall comply with the terms and provisions of this Section 6.4 and, provided, further, that Borrower shall not grant its consent, approval or waiver with respect to any disbursement of such Tenant’s insurance proceeds in respect of such Triple Net Leased Property (if such disbursement would violate the terms and provisions of this Section 6.4) as may be requested or required in connection with the terms and provisions of such Lease with respect to such Triple Net Leased Property without first obtaining the written consent, approval, or waiver of Lender (which consent, approval or waiver shall not be unreasonably withheld).
ARTICLE VII – RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1.Required Repairs.
7.1.1.Deposits.  Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Properties, as more particularly set forth on Schedule 7.1.1 hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”).  Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the dates set forth on Schedule 7.1.1, subject to Force Majeure delay of no more than one hundred twenty (120) days pursuant to which a Governmental Authority prohibits Borrower from performing the applicable Required Repairs.  
Section 7.2.Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date during the continuance of a Cash Sweep Period (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”).  Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgages.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), 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 the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole 
-121-






discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.2, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (x) to the extent that any of the insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document is effected under a blanket policy otherwise in conformance with the requirements of Section 6.1 of this Agreement, Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits with respect to Insurance Premiums and (y) Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits with respect to Taxes or Insurance Premiums with respect to Triple Net Leased Properties, provided that the applicable Tenant is paying Taxes and Insurance Premiums directly pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease, Borrower delivers to Lender reasonably satisfactory evidence that the Taxes and Insurance Premiums have been paid, the applicable Lease is in full force and effect and the applicable Tenant is not subject to any Bankruptcy Action (and has not assumed such Lease in connection therewith). In the event any Individual Property is released in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, (1) effective upon the Payment Date immediately following date of such release, Lender shall reduce the monthly deposit required pursuant to this Section 7.2 by an amount equal to the Taxes attributable to such Individual Property and any reduction the Lender reasonably estimates will result in Insurance Premiums, if any, as a result of such release and (2) promptly following Borrower’s written request, Lender shall disburse to Borrower an amount equal to the Taxes allocable to such Individual Property.
Section 7.3.Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1.Replacement Reserve Fund.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date during the continuance of a Reserve Trigger Period or Cash Sweep Period, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of twenty cents ($0.20) per rentable square foot at the Properties (other than square footage of any portion of the Properties where a Tenant is responsible for completion of the applicable Replacements (or an appropriate portion to the extent such Tenant is responsible for only a portion of the Replacements in respect of the applicable Individual Property)  (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”).  Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”.  
7.3.2.Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.    Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements.  Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to an Individual 
-122-






Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund or Rollover Reserve Fund.
(b)Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a an Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default exists.
(c)Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested and (ii) a reasonably detailed list of the cost of such Replacements.  With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property to which Replacements are being provided.  Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts.  Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested.  Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d)Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment in an amount equal to or greater than $500,000.00 prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account.  In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $500,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials.  Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Individual Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e)If the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement 
-123-






Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Individual Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Individual Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, and (D) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract in an amount equal to or greater than $500,000.00 shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f)Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3.Performance of Replacements.    Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Properties in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the applicable Individual Property is located, and to keep each Individual Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating.  Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b)Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements provided that the total cost of such labor or materials under such contract or work order is equal to or greater than $500,000.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall collaterally assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c)In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and, if an Event of Default is continuing, to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d)In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto any Individual Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Individual Property from damage (subject to the rights of Tenants under Leases); provided, however, that Lender shall not exercise such right unless an Event of Default is continuing.  All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgages.  For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorneyinfact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower.  Such power of attorney 
-124-






shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows:  (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be reasonably necessary to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be reasonably required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against any Individual Property, or as may be reasonably necessary for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Individual Property or the rehabilitation and repair of any Individual Property; and (vii) to do any and every act reasonable which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e)Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall:  (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f)Upon reasonable advance notice, Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(d) (excluding ordinary repairs that are not Capital Expenditures) to enter onto each Individual Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at each Individual Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.3(d) (excluding ordinary course repairs that are not Capital Expenditures).  Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 (excluding ordinary course repairs that are not Capital Expenditures).
(g)With respect to disbursements in respect of an Individual Property in excess of $500,000, Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Individual Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought.  Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender in its reasonable discretion and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional reasonably acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account.  Borrower shall pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
-125-






(h)The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i)With respect to disbursements in respect of an Individual Property in excess of $500,000, before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Individual Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the applicable Individual Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to the applicable Individual Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage, Permitted Encumbrances and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j)All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Individual Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k)In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement.  All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.  Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4.Failure to Make Replacements.    It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within the time period provided for in Section 8.1(a)(xv).  Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to any Individual Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s foregoing right to withdraw and apply sums from the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b)Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5.Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

Upon the re-tenanting of a premises for which a Lease Termination Payment has been made, any remaining Lease Termination Payments applicable to such premises shall, at Borrower’s request, be disbursed to Borrower upon delivery to Lender an estoppel certificate executed by the applicable Tenant stating, among other things, and, provided the same is required under the applicable Lease, that (i) such Tenant’s Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) such Tenant has accepted all tenant improvements under its Lease and no further allowances exist, (iii) such Tenant is in occupancy of the premises described in its Lease, open for business and paying full, unabated rent without any offset.

As a condition to the final disbursement to be made from the Outstanding TI/LC Reserve Account with respect to any Tenant, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an estoppel certificate executed by the applicable Tenant stating, among other things, and, provided the same is required under the applicable Lease, that (i) such Tenant’s Lease is in full force and effect, (ii) such Tenant has accepted all tenant improvements under its Lease and no further allowances exist, (iii) such Tenant is in occupancy of the premises described in its Lease, open for business and paying full, unabated rent without any offset.

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse the amounts on deposit in the Free Rent Reserve Account to the Lockbox Account on a monthly basis in accordance with Schedule 7.7 attached hereto.  Following the expiration of the free rent period with respect to any Tenant as outlined on Schedule 7.7, Lender shall disburse any excess proceeds, if any, in the Free Rent Reserve allocated to such Tenant, to Borrower.  In the event any Individual Property is released in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, promptly following

Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be deposited into the Lockbox Account to be disbursed in accordance with the Lockbox Agreement.  Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full shall be paid to Borrower.  
Section 7.10.Reserve Funds, Generally.    Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt.  Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
(c)The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.  The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account in Permitted Investments as directed by Lender or Lender’s Servicer.  All Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender in one or more interest-bearing accounts with all interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to or become a part thereof.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds credited or paid to Borrower.
(d)Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
-130-






(e)Lender and Servicer shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or Servicer.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender or Servicer.  Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f)Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall (x) if a New Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, be transferred to the New Mezzanine Lender and (y) if no New Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, be returned to Borrower.
Section 7.11.Letters of Credit.    In no event shall Borrower be an account party to, or have or incur any reimbursement obligations in connection with, any Letter of Credit.
(a)Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days’ revocable notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit as permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, if any.  Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any such Letter of Credit.  
(b)Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine.
(c)In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit:  (i) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Eligible Institution or an Approved Bank; provided, however, that in the event Lender receives any notice 
-131-






referred to in subclause (iv) hereof and Lender, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the security intended to be provided to Lender by the related Letter of Credit is not thereby materially jeopardized, Borrower shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender in which to deliver to Lender a replacement Letter of Credit issued by an Eligible Institution; provided, further, that in the event Lender draws on any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in subclause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above (but specifically excluding any draw related to the occurrence of an Event of Default), Lender shall return to Borrower the funds so drawn in the event Borrower provides Lender with a replacement Letter of Credit issued by an Eligible Institution within thirty (30) days following such draw.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in subclause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.
(d)In the event that Borrower elects to deliver a Letter of Credit for which an Affiliate of Borrower provides collateral, and if such Letter of Credit, together with all outstanding Letters of Credit, is in an aggregate amount equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, then Borrower shall deliver an Additional Insolvency Opinion reasonably acceptable to Lender which takes into account such Letters of Credit.

(x)if there is a breach of (I) any covenant contained in Section 4.1.30 hereof (provided, however, that such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if (A) such breach was inadvertent, immaterial and non-recurring, (B) in the event such breach is curable, Borrower shall cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days of the earlier of (1) Borrower’s obtaining actual knowledge of such breach and (2) Borrower’s receipt of notice of such breach, and if such breach is not curable, Borrower causes such breach to cease on a going-forward basis, and (C) within thirty (30) calendar days of the written request by Lender, Borrower causes its legal counsel to deliver an Additional Insolvency Opinion to the effect that such breach shall not impair, negate or amend the opinions rendered in the Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan) or any Additional Insolvency Opinion delivered after the closing of the Loan or (II) any negative covenant contained in Section 5.2 (other than Sections 5.2.1, which is covered by clause (xvi) below); provided, however, that in the case of any breach of a negative covenant (A) described in Section 5.2.2 due to the filing of an involuntary mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien or other involuntary lien, such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Section 8.1(a)(x) unless such mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien or other involuntary lien, is not discharged (by bonding or otherwise) within thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge thereof (subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest such mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien or other involuntary lien in accordance with Section 5.2.2);
(xi)if any of the assumptions contained in the Insolvency Opinion delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, or in any Additional Insolvency Opinion delivered subsequent to the closing of the Loan, is or shall become untrue in any material respect; provided, however, that such breach shall not constitute an Event of Default if (A) such breach was inadvertent, immaterial and non-recurring, (B) such breach is curable and Borrower shall promptly cure such breach within thirty (30) calendar days of Borrower’s obtaining actual knowledge of such breach and (C) within thirty (30) calendar days of the written request by Lender, Borrower causes its legal counsel to deliver an Additional Insolvency Opinion to the effect that such breach shall not impair, negate or amend the opinions rendered in the Insolvency Opinion delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan or any previously delivered Additional Insolvency Opinion;
-134-

(xvi)if an ERISA Event shall have occurred that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect;
(xvii)if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower, Guarantor or any Individual Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the stated effect of such default, event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt; or

(b)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the 
-135-






other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to any or all of the Properties, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and any or all of the Properties, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and Other Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2.Remedies.    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of any Individual Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender 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 is not subject to any “one 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 Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b)With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.  In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgages in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgages then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Mortgages 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 one or more of the Mortgages to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgages as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the remaining Properties shall remain 
-136-






subject to the Mortgages to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgages and not previously recovered.
(c)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder, subject, however, to the proviso clause of the first sentence of Section 9.1.1(c), so long as the weighted average rate of such Severed Loan Documents shall equal the Applicable Rate immediately prior to such severance.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d)As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3.Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement 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 singularly, 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

ARTICLE IX – SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1.Securitization.
9.1.1.Sale of Notes and Securitization.    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender may not transfer or participate any direct or indirect interest in the Loan to any of the Persons identified on Schedule 9.1.1 hereof, or any Affiliate of such Persons.
(b)At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.  Subject to Lender’s standard confidentiality procedures then in effect (provided that nothing in this Agreement will restrict the ability of the Lender to provide the term sheet, offering circular and other Disclosure Documents to investors or prospective investors in connection with the Securitization), Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, the Properties and any Tenant of the Improvements.  Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Properties may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents.  Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Guarantor and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at Lender’s request, at its sole cost and expense (but subject to Section 9.1.2), cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization.  Borrower and Guarantor agree to review, at Lender’s request in connection with the Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Guarantor, the Properties and the Loan, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Portfolio Overview”, “Executive Summary”, “Investment Highlights”, “Sources & Uses”, “Capital Structure”, “Transaction Highlights”, “Mortgage Loan Terms”, “Portfolio Overview”, “Historical Occupancy,” “COVID-19 Update,” “Anchored Shopping Centers”, “Tenancy Overview”, “Top Tenant Overview”, “Top Tenants Summary”, “Rollover Schedule”, “Historical Financials and Underwriting”, “The Center at Hobbs Brook”, “Lafayette Pavilion”, “Almeda Crossing”, “Beaver Creek Shopping Center”, “Crosspoint Shopping Center” and “Sponsor Overview,” “Summary of the Offering Circular,” “Risk Factors,” “Description of the Properties,” “Description of the Borrowers and Related Parties”, “Descriptions of the Property Manager, the Management Agreements and the Assignment of Management Agreements,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan,”  “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan,” Annex A-1 (Mortgage Loan 
-138-






Collateral Schedule), Annex A-2 (Additional Information Regarding the Properties), Annex E (Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers) and Annex H (Organizational Structure of the Borrowers) (or sections similarly titled or covering similar subject matters), and shall confirm that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Properties, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or the Loan) do not 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.
(c)Borrower agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace any original note or modify any original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules, but excluding mezzanine notes), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan, delivery of opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Approved Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Approved Rating Agencies or potential investors may reasonably require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes Borrower shall not be required to (i) modify the weighted average interest rate immediately prior to such modification payable under the Note (except as such weighted average interest rate may increase in connection with prepayments by reason of casualty or condemnation or following an Event of Default), (ii) modify the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) modify the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (iv) modify  any other economic or other term of the Loan (other than to a de minimis extent), (v) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents or (vi) create a mezzanine loan or grant, or cause to be granted, any equity pledges.  In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created components.  
(d)If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, financial, statistical or operating information or other information as Lender shall determine necessary or appropriate (including items required (or items that would be required if the Securitization were offered publicly) pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto) or required by any other legal requirements, in each case, in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or materials or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(e)Borrower agrees that each participant pursuant to Section  9.1.1(a) shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.2.3(e) and (f) and Section 2.7 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.7(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.7(e) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.2.3(f) or Section 2.7, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been 
-139-






entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in a requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by such participant or the participating Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority, in each case after the participant acquired the applicable participation.
(f)JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, or an agent appointed by it, in either case acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of each Lender, and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loan owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower and each Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(g)Each Lender that sells a participation pursuant to Section 9.1.1(a) shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other Obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any Obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
9.1.2.Securitization Costs.  All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantors in connection with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Borrower; provided, that, unless an Event of Default is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to pay any such costs or expenses that are incurred after the Closing Date in excess of $200,000; provided that any legal fees or expenses incurred by Borrower or its Affiliates shall not be considered with respect to such limitation.
9.1.3.Uncross of Properties.  Borrower agrees that at any time Lender shall have the unilateral right to elect to uncross any of the Properties (the “Affected Property”).  In furtherance thereof, Lender shall have the right to (i) sever or divide the Note and the other Loan Documents in order to allocate to such Affected Property the portion of the Loan allocable to such Property (the “Allocated Loan Amount”) evidenced by a new note and secured by such other loan documents (collectively, the “New Note”) having a principal amount equal to the Loan Amount applicable to such Affected Property, (ii) segregate the applicable portion of each of the Reserve Funds relating to the Affected Property, (iii) release any cross-default and/or cross-collateralization provisions applicable to such Affected Property and (iv) take such additional action consistent therewith; provided, that such New Note secured by such Affected 
-140-






Property, together with the Loan Documents secured by the remaining Properties, shall not increase in the aggregate (A) any monetary obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents, or (B) any other obligation of Borrower under the Loan Documents in any material respect.  In connection with the transfer of any such Affected Property as provided for in this Section 9.1.3, the Loan shall be reduced by an amount equal to amount of the New Note applicable to such Affected Property and the new loan secured by such Affected Property and evidenced by the New Note shall be in an amount equal to such Allocated Loan Amount.  Subsequent to the release of the Affected Property from the lien of the Loan pursuant to this Section 9.1.3, the balances of the components of the Loan shall be the same as they would have been had a prepayment occurred in an amount equal to the Allocated Loan Amount of the Affected Property.  At the request of Lender, Borrower shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with Lender in its attempt to satisfy all requirements necessary in order for Lender to obtain written confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such transfer of the Affected Property from the Securitization and splitting of the Loan shall not cause a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings of the Securities or any class thereof, which requirements shall include, without limitation: (A) delivery of evidence that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of Borrowers owning Properties other than the Affected Property following such release have not been adversely affected and are in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (which evidence may include a “bring-down” of the Insolvency Opinion); and (B) the execution of such documents and instruments and delivery by Lender of such opinions of counsel as are typical for similar transactions, including, an opinion of counsel that the release of the Affected Property will not be a “significant modification” of this Loan within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the regulations of the United States Department of the Treasury and that all other requirements applicable, if any, to a REMIC Trust, have been satisfied or have not otherwise been violated.  Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Loan Documents, Lender shall cause all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with this Section 9.1.3 (including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with the transfer of the Affected Property to a Special Purpose Entity and the maintenance and operation of such Special Purpose Entity) to be paid by Lender.
Section 9.2.Securitization Indemnification.    Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization 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 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 required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
(b)The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (A) certifying that (i) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined the Disclosure Documents, including without limitation, the sections entitled  “Portfolio Overview”, “Executive Summary”, “Investment Highlights”, “Sources & Uses”,

(c)In connection with Exchange Act Filings, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a

If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.  After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons 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 Person or Persons.  The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person.  No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
(e)Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings.  As long as an Indemnifying 
-143-






Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(f)The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient:  (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan.
(g)The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 10.6.Notices.  All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either

Delivery of notice by email or telecopy alone does not constitute effective delivery, unless delivery is performed through an additional method (other than email and telecopy) in accordance with this Section 10.6.  Any notice which the intended recipient refuses to accept shall be deemed to be given to, and received by, such recipient at the time of such refusal.
Section 10.7.Trial by Jury.  BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY BORROWER.
Section 10.8.Headings.  The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9.Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, 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.
-153-






Section 10.10.Preferences.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, 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 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.
Section 10.11.Waiver of Notice.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12.Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13.Expenses; Indemnity.    Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Lender for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, specifically with respect to the Loan (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Lender’s regulatory, accounting, audit and overhead costs generally); (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or 
-154-






matters requested by Borrower; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties (including, without limitation, any fees and expenses incurred by or payable to Servicer or a trustee in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer upon Servicer’s anticipation of a Default or Event of Default, liquidation fees, workout fees, special servicing fees, operating advisor fees or any other similar fees and interest payable on advances made by the Servicer with respect to delinquent debt service payments or expenses of curing Borrower’s defaults under the Loan Documents), or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or any other amounts required under Section 9.5; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.  Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b)Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.  This Section 10.13(b) shall not apply with respect to Section 2.7 Taxes other than any Section 2.7 Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses or disbursements arising from any non-tax claim.
(c)Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with 
-155-






any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
(d)Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lender and each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any liabilities to which Lender, each of its respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Section 10.14.Schedules Incorporated.  The 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 10.15.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 10.16.No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.  
  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, tenancyincommon, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties 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 
-156-






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 10.17.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, JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender and JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (unless such released, publicity or advertisement is required by a Governmental Authority and reasonably satisfactory evidence of such requirement is delivered to Lender), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.
Section 10.18.Cross Default; Cross Collateralization;Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  
(a)  Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately.  Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for Note A-1 (Amended and Restated) and Note A-2 (Amended and Restated) as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note A-1 (Amended and Restated) and Note A-2 (Amended and Restated); (iv) each Mortgage (other than the Amended and Restated Mortgages executed by the Florida Borrowers) shall constitute security for Note A-1-A and Note A-2-A as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note A-1-A and Note A-2-A and (v) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance.
(b)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 partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Mortgages, 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 Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Mortgages, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and 
-157-






authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.
Section 10.19.Waiver of Counterclaim.  Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20.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 10.21.Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22.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, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23.Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24.Co-Lender. 
-158-






(a)Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lender’s consent or approval is required, Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent and approval of each of JPM and DBR and all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower to each Co-Lender; provided, however, that prior to a Securitization, Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon communication or acts of any Servicer appointed by the Co-Lenders.
(b)Following the Closing Date (i) the liabilities of Lender shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Co-Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Co-Lender, and (iii) each Co-Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for their respective Ratable Share of the Loan.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Co-Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
(c)Each Co-Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and their respective Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon any other Co-Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
Section 10.25.Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:
(a)the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances.  Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice;
(b)the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(c)the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 5.1.11 hereof, to receive monthly, quarterly and year end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness; and
(d)the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property).
-159-






The rights described above in this Section 10.25 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.26.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
Section 10.27.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and the words “executed,” signed,” “signature,” and words of like import as used above and elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this transaction shall include, in addition to manually executed signatures, images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, any electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record).  The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.
