2.2.2    Interest Calculation.  Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.
2.2.3    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 and, to the extent permitted by 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.

Subject to the following sentence, all payments of interest, principal, Yield Maintenance Premiums or other amounts due to Lender hereunder shall be allocated pro rata (based on outstanding principal amounts), and pari passu between Note A-1 and Note A-2.

If for any reason Borrowers prepay the Loan on or following the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrowers shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, 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 partial prepayment shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan pro rata and pari passu to Note A-1 and Note A-2. 
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, or does not elect pursuant to the terms hereof to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrowers for Restoration, Borrowers shall prepay, or authorize Lender to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.

If after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrowers or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Interest Payment, and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrowers in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrowers shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium that would be required if a Defeasance Event had occurred in an amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance, plus one percent (1%) of the amount being repaid.  All such payments of principal shall be applied pro rata and pari passu to Note A-1 and Note A-2.
2.4.5    Application of Prepayments.  Any amounts received by Lender on account of prepayments made in accordance with this Section 2.4 shall be applied by Lender exclusively in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4, including, without limitation, applying any such prepayments toward the prepayment of Note A-1 and Note A-2, pro rata and pari passu, and not pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.7.2, whether or not such funds may have been deposited into the Cash Management Account.  

31






2.4.6    Application of Payments of Principal.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the following principal payments or prepayments shall be allocated between the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan as follows:
(a)    so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any voluntary prepayment shall be applied pro rata to the Debt and the Mezzanine Debt until the Debt and the Mezzanine Debt are paid in full; provided, however, that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall apply any voluntary prepayment first, to payment of the Debt, in any order, priority and proportions as Lender shall elect from time to time, until the Debt is paid in full, and shall then disburse any remainder to (i) Mezzanine Lender for application in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement if the Mezzanine Debt (or any portion thereof) is then outstanding, until the Mezzanine Debt is paid in full, and then (ii) any balance to Borrowers;

“The provisions of this section shall not apply to [any] loan . . . in which the obligor has expressly waived, in writing, the right to repay in whole or part without penalty, or has expressly agreed, in writing, to the payment of a penalty for prepayment upon acceleration.  For any loan executed on or after January 1, 1984, this waiver or agreement shall be separately signed or initialed by the obligor and its enforcement shall be supported by evidence of a course of conduct by the obligee of individual weight to the consideration in that transaction for the waiver or agreement.”

Such 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 such Borrower or the Properties or any part thereof are bound.  Such Borrower has no material financial obligation 

45






under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which such Borrower is a party or by which such Borrower or the Properties or any part thereof are otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (t) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof, and (b) Obligations.  
4.1.6    Title.  Borrowers have good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Properties or any part thereof, 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 affect the value, operation or use of the Properties (as currently used) or Borrowers’ ability to repay the Loan.  The Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases, 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 Properties, 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.  To Borrowers’ knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties or any part thereof that are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
4.1.7    Solvency.  Neither Borrower has entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Notes, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor, and each Borrower received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrowers’ total liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities.  The fair saleable value of Borrowers’ assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrowers’ probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of their contingent liabilities on their debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrowers’ assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their respective businesses as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrowers do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond their ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by each Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of each Borrower).  No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals or any of their respective constituent Persons, and none of Borrowers, Principals or any of their respective constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors.  None of Borrowers, Principals or any of their respective constituent Persons is 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 its assets or properties, and 

46






Borrowers have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, either of the Principals or any of their respective constituent Persons.
4.1.8    Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by such 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.  There is no material fact presently known to such Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as such Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Properties or any part thereof or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of either Borrower.
4.1.9    No Plan Assets.  Such Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to, and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of such Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.  In addition, (a) such Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (b) transactions by or with such Borrower are not subject to any state or other statute, regulation or other restriction regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement including the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
4.1.10    Compliance.  Such Borrower and each Property (including the use thereof) complies in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including building and zoning ordinances and codes and Prescribed Laws.  Such Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority.  There has not been committed by such Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties or any part thereof, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
4.1.11    Financial Information.  All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of each Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein.  Except for Permitted Encumbrances, such Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to such Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Properties or any part thereof or the operation thereof as an office building or parking garage, as applicable, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.  Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, operation or business of such Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

47






4.1.12    Condemnation.  No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to such Borrower’s best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Properties or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the Properties or any portion thereof.
4.1.13    Federal Reserve Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14    Utilities and Public Access.  Each Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its intended uses.  All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting such Property (which are connected so as to serve such Property without passing over other property) or in recorded easements serving such Property and such easements are set forth in and insured by the Title Insurance Policy.  All roads necessary for the use of each Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
4.1.15    Not a Foreign Person.  Such Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of §1445(f)(3) of the Code.
4.1.16    Separate Lots.  Each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels, each of which constitutes a separate tax lot or lots and none of which constitutes a portion of any other tax lot not a part of such Property.
4.1.17    Assessments.  There are no pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Properties or any portion thereof, nor are there any contemplated improvements to the Properties or any portion thereof that may result in such special or other assessments, other than the Permitted Encumbrances.
4.1.18    Enforceability.  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals or Any Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and no Borrower, Principal or Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

48






4.1.19    No Prior Assignment.  There are no prior assignments of the Leases or any portion of the Rents or the Vacant Space Rent due and payable or to become due and payable which are presently outstanding.
4.1.20    Insurance.  Borrowers have obtained and have delivered to Lender certificates for all Policies required hereunder, with all premiums currently payable thereunder, reflecting the insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in this Agreement.  No claims have been made under any such Policies, and no Person, including either Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of any such Policies.
4.1.21    Use of Property.  The Tower Parcel is used exclusively as an office building and the Garage is used exclusively as a parking structure, and, in each case, for other appurtenant and related uses.
4.1.22    Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses.  All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and use and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and/or operation of the Tower Parcel as an office building and the Garage as a parking garage (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect.  Borrowers shall keep and maintain in full force and effect all Licenses necessary for the operation of the Properties.  The uses being made of the Properties are in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for each Property.
4.1.23    Flood Zone.  Except as may be provided in the Survey(s), none of the Improvements on either Property are located in an area identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards or, if so located, the flood insurance required pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) hereof is in full force and effect with respect to the Properties or any portion thereof.
4.1.24    Physical Condition.  Each Property, including all buildings, improvements, parking facilities, sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems, electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors, landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components, is in good condition, order and repair in all material respects. There exists no structural or other material defects or damages in the Properties or any portion thereof, whether latent or otherwise.  Neither Borrower has received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defects or inadequacies in any Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.  
4.1.25    Boundaries.  Except as provided in the Survey(s), all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of the Properties, or any portion thereof, lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Properties, or any portion thereof, and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Properties, or any portion thereof, and no easements or other encumbrances upon the Properties, or any portion thereof, encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the value or marketability of the

Properties, or any portion thereof, except those which are insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.
4.1.26    Leases.
(a)    The Properties are not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof, including, without limitation, the Master Leases.  Either Tower Borrower or Garage Borrower is the owner and holder of landlord’s interest in each Lease affecting the Properties or any portion thereof.  No Person has any possessory interest in any Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases.  The current Leases are in full force and effect and there are no defaults thereunder by either party and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute defaults thereunder.  The copies of the Leases delivered to Lender are true and complete, and there are no oral agreements with respect thereto.  No Rent or Vacant Space Rent (including security deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date.  All work to be performed by each Borrower under each Lease has been performed as required in such Lease and has been accepted by the applicable tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by either Borrower to any tenant have already been received by such tenant.  There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment, hypothecation or pledge of any Lease or of the Rents or the Vacant Space Rent received therein which is still in effect.  No tenant listed on Schedule I has assigned its Lease or sublet all or any portion of the premises demised thereby, no such tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease, nor does anyone except such tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises.  No tenant under any Lease has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any part of the Property of which the leased premises are a part.  No tenant under any Lease has any right or option for additional space in the Improvements.

(v)    No work is required to be performed by Borrowers and no contributions are required to be made to Borrowers by the Operating Partnership pursuant to either of the Master Leases, and all conditions precedent to Operating Partnership’s obligations under each of the Master Leases have been fully satisfied as of the date hereof;
(vi)    Each of the Master Leases (A) contains no purchase option or right of first refusal, (X) do not provide any party with the right to obtain a lien or encumbrance upon the Properties or any portion thereof, and (Y) provide that they are subordinate in all respects to the terms and provisions of the Mortgage;

(viii)    Borrowers shall make timely and appropriate changes to the “Rent” due under the Master Leases, and shall notify Operating Partnership of such changes in accordance with the terms of the Master Leases, such that, at all times, the “Rent” due each month shall be in compliance with Section 3.1.21 and Section 3.1.22 hereof.
4.1.27    Survey.  The Survey for each Property delivered to Lender in connection with this Agreement has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.3(c) hereof, and to Borrowers’ knowledge, does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Properties or any part thereof or the title thereto.

There has been no material adverse change in any condition, fact, circumstance or event that would make any such information inaccurate, incomplete or otherwise misleading in any material respect or that otherwise materially and adversely affects or might materially and adversely affect the use, operation or value of the Properties or any part thereof or the business operations and/or the financial condition of Borrowers.  Borrowers have disclosed to Lender all material facts and

ARTICLE 5
BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1    Affirmative Covenants.  From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all Obligations or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrowers hereby jointly and severally covenant and agree with Lender that:
5.1.1    Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements.  Each Borrower shall 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 and comply with all Legal Requirements 

54






applicable to such Borrower and the Properties or any part thereof, including Prescribed Laws.  There shall never be committed by either Borrower, and neither Borrower shall permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties or any part thereof to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrowers’ obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.  Each Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names, and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, 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 Mortgage.  Borrowers shall 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 notice to Lender, either Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to such Borrower or the Properties or any part thereof or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any instrument to which such Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (c) such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Properties nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest; (e) such Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against such Borrower and the Properties or any part thereof; and (g) such Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security, 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 Requirement is finally established or the Properties (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2    Taxes and Other Charges.  Borrowers shall 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, that Borrowers’ obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrowers comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.  Borrowers will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid.  Borrowers shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall 

55






become delinquent, provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes if such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof.  Except to the extent being contested in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrowers 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 the Properties or part thereof, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Properties or any part thereof.  After prior notice to Lender, Borrowers, at their 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 (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrowers are subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (c) such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Properties nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest; (e) Borrowers 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; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Properties; and (g) Borrowers shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure 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 established or the Properties (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage being primed by any related Lien.
5.1.3    Litigation.  Borrowers shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals and/or any Guarantor which might materially adversely affect such Borrower’s, Principal’s and/or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Properties or any part thereof.
5.1.4    Access to Property.  Borrowers shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect the Properties or any part thereof at reasonable hours upon reasonable advance notice (which may be given verbally), subject to the rights of tenants under their respective Leases.

(c)    Borrowers will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before thirty-five (35) days after the end of each calendar month the following items (on a Property by Property basis and on an aggregate basis for the Properties), 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 Borrowers and the Properties (subject to normal year-end adjustments):  (i) a rent roll for the subject month; (ii) monthly and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared for each calendar month, noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations, Vacant Space Rent and Operating Expenses, and, upon Lender’s request, other information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of each Property during such calendar month, and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income 

58






and expenses together with a detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%) or more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, all in form satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a calculation reflecting the annual Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of the last day of such month; (iv) a Net Cash Flow Schedule; and (v) a statement of the rating issued by the Rating Agencies for the senior unsecured debt of Gas Company and, if all of Gas Company’s leased premises at the Properties are then guaranteed by Gas Company Parent, Gas Company Parent, as of the last day of the subject month.  In addition, such Officer’s Certificate shall also state that the representations and warranties of Borrowers set forth in Section 4.1.30 hereof are true and correct as of the date of such certificate and that there are no trade payables outstanding for more than sixty (60) days.
(d)    For each Fiscal Year Borrowers shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget for the Properties not later than forty five (45) days prior to the commencement of such Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  The Annual Budget for each Property shall be subject to Lender’s approval (each such Annual Budget approved by Lender being referred to herein as an “Approved Annual Budget”).  In the event Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrowers which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, Lender shall advise Borrowers of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender.  Lender shall advise Borrowers of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrowers a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrowers shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this Subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget.  Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget for the Properties that requires the approval of Lender hereunder, the most recently Approved Annual Budget for the Properties shall apply; provided, however, that such Approved Annual Budget for the Properties shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and utilities expenses.
(e)    If Borrowers must incur an extraordinary Operating Expense or Capital Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each, an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed if such Extraordinary Expense is necessary to prevent material damage to the Properties or any part thereof or injury to Persons.
(f)    If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrowers alone or Borrowers and one or more Affiliates of Borrowers collectively, or either Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender promptly upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal 

59






amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization, or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.  Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than thirty (30) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrowers, and (C) not later than seventy-five (75) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) is not required.  If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Properties or any part thereof if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.
(g)    All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrowers hereunder pursuant to Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and other applicable legal requirements.  All financial statements referred to in Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be audited by independent accountants of Borrowers acceptable to Lender in accordance with Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, shall be accompanied by the manually executed report of the independent accountants thereon, which report shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and all other applicable legal requirements, and shall be further accompanied by a manually executed written consent of the independent accountants, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, to the inclusion of such financial statements in any Disclosure Document and any Exchange Act Filing and to the use of the name of such independent accountants and the reference to such independent accountants as “experts” in any Disclosure Document and Exchange Act Filing, all of which shall be provided at the same time as the related financial statements are required to be provided.  All financial data and financial statements (audited or unaudited) provided by Borrowers under Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.11(g).
(h)    If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall provide Lender, promptly upon written request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

60






(i)    In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial data and financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.1.11(g) hereof, Lender may request, and Borrowers shall promptly provide, such other financial data and financial statements as Lender determines to be necessary or appropriate for such compliance.
(j)    Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement shall be delivered (i) in paper form, (ii) on a diskette, and (iii) if requested by Lender and within the capabilities of Borrowers’ data systems without change or modification thereto, in electronic form and prepared using Microsoft Word for Windows or WordPerfect for Windows files (which files may be prepared using a spreadsheet program and saved as word processing files).  Borrowers agree that Lender may disclose information regarding the Properties and Borrowers that is provided to Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.11 in connection with a Securitization to such parties requesting such information in connection with such Securitization.

Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for any losses, costs, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Lender if an interest in the Properties or any part thereof, other than as permitted hereunder, is claimed by another Person.
5.1.14    Costs of Enforcement.  In the event (a) that the Mortgage is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney for collection, suit, action or foreclosure, (b) of the foreclosure of any mortgage prior to or subsequent to the Mortgage in which proceeding Lender is made a party, or (c) of the bankruptcy, insolvency, rehabilitation or other similar proceeding in respect of either Borrower or any of its constituent Persons or an assignment by either Borrower or any of its constituent Persons for the benefit of its creditors, Borrowers, on behalf of themselves and their successors and assigns, agree that they shall be chargeable with and shall pay all costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by Lender or either Borrower in connection therewith and in connection with any appellate proceeding or post-judgment action involved therein, together with all required service or use taxes.

After all the Vacant Space has been so rented, any new Major Leases and any Lease 

62






modification or renewal that causes an existing Lease to become a Major Lease, shall be approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Upon request, Borrowers 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 and shall not contain any terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.  All Leases executed after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage and that the lessee agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale.

5.1.21    Alterations.  Borrowers shall obtain Lender’s prior consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed except with respect to any alterations to any Improvements which may have a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ financial condition, the value of the Properties or the Net Operating Income.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ financial condition, the value of the Properties or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement work performed pursuant to, or alterations permitted without Borrowers’ consent by, the terms of any Lease approved by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements and the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), or (c) are performed in connection with Restoration after the occurrence of a Casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this

64






portion of the Easement Parcel at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default.
(c)    Upon the occurrence of any material default by Easement Grantor under the Parking Easement, Borrowers shall diligently pursue all of their remedies thereunder and at law and in equity to enforce the terms of the Parking Easement and Easement Grantor’s obligations thereunder.

Borrowers’ principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrowers keep their 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 (4) months (or, if less, the entire period of the existence of Borrower), and will continue to be, the address of Borrowers set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement (unless Borrowers notify Lender in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such change).
5.2.9    ERISA.
(a)    No Borrower shall engage in any transaction that would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Notes, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b)    Each 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, that (i) such Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning 

67






of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) such Borrower is not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

(B)    Less than twenty-five percent (25%) of each outstanding class of equity interests in such Borrower is held by “benefit plan investors” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(f)(2); or
(C)    Such Borrower qualifies as an “operating company” or a “real estate operating company” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. §2510.3-101(c) or (e).
5.2.10    Transfers.
(a)    Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrowers and their general partners, members, principals and (if any Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as the Properties in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrowers’ ownership of the Properties as a means of maintaining the value of the Properties as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations.  Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Properties or any portion thereof.
(b)    Without the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Properties or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party (clause (i) and (ii) above, collectively, a “Transfer”), other than pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof.
(c)    A Transfer shall include, but not be limited to: (i) an installment sales agreement wherein any Borrower agrees to sell or convey the Properties, or any part thereof or any interest therein, for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by any Borrower leasing all or substantially all of any Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder, or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, either Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents or any Vacant Space Rent; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation’s stock or the creation or issuance of new stock; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, 

68






resignation or addition of a general partner or the Sale or Pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of limited partnership interests or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited partnership interest or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the Sale or Pledge of the limited liability company interest of a managing member (or if no managing member, any member) or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited liability company interest, or the Sale or Pledge of non-managing limited liability company interests or the creation or issuance of new non-managing limited liability company interests; (vi) if a Restricted Party is a trust or nominee trust, any merger, consolidation or the Sale or Pledge of the legal or beneficial interest in a Restricted Party or the creation or issuance of new legal or beneficial interests; or (vii) the removal or the resignation of the managing agent (including an Affiliated Manager) other than in accordance with Section 5.1.22 hereof.
(d)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.2.10, the following transfers shall not be deemed to be a Transfer and shall not require Lender’s consent and shall not require the payment of any application fee:  (i) the sale or transfer, in one or a series of transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the stock in a Restricted Party; and (ii) the sale or transfer, directly or indirectly, in one or a series of transactions, of not more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the limited partnership interests or non-managing limited liability company interests (as the case may be) in a Restricted Party; provided, however, that with respect to each such sale or transfer (A) no such sales or transfers shall result in the change of voting control in the Restricted Party, (B) as a condition to each such sale or transfer, Lender shall receive not less than thirty (30) days prior notice of such proposed sale or transfer, (C) no such sale or transfer of any direct ownership interests in either Borrower or either Mezzanine Borrower shall be permitted, (D) Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid any and all costs imposed or incurred as a result of any such sale or transfer, including any transfer taxes, and (E) if after giving effect to any such sale or transfer, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in a Restricted Party are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such Restricted Party as of the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies.  In addition, at all times, except following a transfer of any Property permitted pursuant to Section 5.2.10(f) hereof, the Operating Partnership must continue to (1) Control each Borrower and any Affiliated Manager, and (2) own, directly or indirectly, at least a fifty-one percent (51%) interest in each Borrower and any Affiliated Manager.  The sale, transfer or issuance of stock in the REIT shall not be deemed a Transfer hereunder, provided, that the stock of the REIT is listed and traded on the New York Stock Exchange or such other nationally recognized stock exchange.  
(e)    Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a Transfer without Lender’s written consent.  This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.

69






(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any Transfers or rights under Section 5.2.10(g) hereof, Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to a Transfer (or to an unlimited number of Transfers) of both Properties simultaneously by the Borrowers (or the then owner(s) of the Properties), provided that all of the following terms and conditions are satisfied: (i) the Borrowers (or the then owner(s) of the Properties) shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of the proposed Transfer and the proposed Transfer shall not be effective earlier than the date that is twelve (12) months after the first Payment Date; (ii) no Default, Event of Default, Mezzanine Default or Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; (iii) the proposed transferee(s) of the Properties shall have executed and delivered an express assumption of this Agreement, the Notes, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof; (iv) payment of all of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer, including the cost of any third party reports, legal fees and expenses, Rating Agency fees and expenses or required legal opinions; (v) payment of a non-refundable $5,000 application fee and an assumption fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to the initial Transfer and one half of one percent (0.50%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to each Transfer thereafter; (vi) the delivery of an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting the proposed Transfer reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; (vii) the proposed transferee(s) compliance with the representations and covenants set forth in Section 4.1.30 and Section 5.2.9 hereof; (viii) the delivery of evidence satisfactory to Lender that the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of the proposed transferee(s), and its(their) shareholders, partners or members, as the case may be, following such Transfer is in accordance with the then current standards of Lender and the Rating Agencies; (ix) prior to any release of any Guarantor, a substitute guarantor acceptable to Lender in its discretion shall have assumed the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnity and the Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Master Leases and the Parking Easement, or executed a replacement guaranty, environmental indemnity and Master Leases reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (x) Lender shall have received confirmation in writing from the Rating Agencies to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a re-qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the then current ratings assigned to the Securities or any class thereof in any applicable Securitization; (xi) the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mezzanine Loan Agreement; and (xii) the satisfaction of such other conditions as Lender shall determine in its reasonable discretion to be in the interest of Lender, including the creditworthiness, reputation and qualifications of the transferee(s) with respect to the Loan and the Properties.
(g)    A Transfer that occurs by inheritance, devise or bequest or by operation of law upon the death or disability of a natural Person who holds a direct or indirect interest in any Borrower, and a Transfer by a natural Person of direct or indirect interests in either Borrower for estate planning purposes, shall not require the consent of Lender and no transfer fee shall be payable in connection therewith, provided, however, that, in each case, such Transfer is to a non-minor member of the immediate family of the holder of such interest, or a trust established for the benefit of a member of the immediate family of the holder of such interest, and provided further that, in each such case, each of the following transfer conditions are satisfied:

70






(i)    no Event of Default or Mezzanine Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured; 
(ii)    Borrowers shall give Lender notice of such Transfer together with copies of all instruments effecting such Transfer not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of such Transfer, or if any such Transfer or series of Transfers shall result in any Person that does not own more than a twenty percent (20%) direct or indirect interest in either Borrower as of the date hereof owning more than a twenty percent (20%) direct or indirect interest in either Borrower, Borrowers shall give Lender thirty (30) days prior written notice of such Transfer and Lender shall have an opportunity to perform its customary credit and background searches with respect to such transferee, except in the case of the death or disability of an interest holder, in which event Borrowers shall give Lender notice of such Transfer within ten (10) Business Days after such Transfer;

(iv)    the legal and financial structure of each Borrower and its shareholders, partners or members, and the single purpose nature and bankruptcy remoteness of either Borrower and its shareholders, partners or members, after such Transfer shall satisfy Lender’s then current applicable underwriting criteria and requirements; 
(v)    if, after taking into account any prior Transfers pursuant to this Section 5.2.10(g), whether to the proposed transferee or otherwise, such Transfer (or series of Transfers) shall result in (A) the proposed transferee, together with all members of his/her immediate family or any Affiliates thereof, owning in the aggregate (directly, indirectly or beneficially) more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in either Borrower (or any entity directly or indirectly holding an interest in either Borrower), or (B) a Transfer in the aggregate of more than forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in either Borrower as of the date hereof, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender, (x) a non-consolidation opinion reasonable satisfactory to Lender, and (y) at the request of Lender, written confirmations from the Rating Agencies that such Transfer or series of Transfers will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then applicable ratings of the Securities; and 
(vi)    Borrowers shall pay all fees and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer, including the cost of any third party reports, legal fees and expenses, Rating Agency fees and expenses and required legal opinions. 

71






(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Operating Partnership, or its upstream Affiliates, shall have the right to, and may, pledge, without Lender’s consent, its indirect equity interests in Borrowers, other than any direct interests in Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers, to secure (i) a loan facility or loan facilities to Operating Partnership or its upstream Affiliates, other than Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers, from a group of lenders for which Credit Suisse acting through its New York branch will act as initial administrative and collateral agent, and (ii) related hedging arrangements in connection therewith without Lender’s consent; provided, however, that in either case, Operating Partnership or its upstream Affiliates (other than Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers) pledges, directly or indirectly, its equity interests in substantially all of the property owning subsidiaries in which Operating Partnership holds a direct or indirect interest, and provided further that any enforcement action taken pursuant to such pledge shall constitute a Transfer that is prohibited pursuant to the terms of this Section 5.2.10 and the holder of such pledge shall be required to comply with all of the applicable provisions of this Section 5.2.10.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to (a) the encumbrance of the Tower Parcel with off-site parking covenants in favor of the City of Los Angeles pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.26.E.5 for up to 365 parking spaces relating to off-street automobile parking spaces required by the City of Los Angeles for the existing building located at 444 South Flower Street, Los Angeles, California, to which Lender will subordinate the lien of the Mortgage provided that Borrowers have obtained and delivered to Lender an updated Final Certificate of Occupancy for the Tower Parcel (or equivalent official documentation) from the City of Los Angeles that reflects the continuing compliance of the Tower (taking into account such additional parking covenants) with the Final Certificate of Occupancy for the Tower Parcel, all applicable ordinances, regulations, and policies of the City of Los Angeles subject only to the continuing maintenance of that certain covenant and agreement in favor of the City of Los Angeles recorded as document number 91-890489 in the Official Records of Los Angeles County; and (b) the encumbrance of the Garage with additional off-site parking covenants in favor of the City of Los Angeles pursuant to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 12.26.E.5 for additional off-street automobile parking spaces required by the City of Los Angeles for existing buildings, to which Lender will subordinate the lien of the Mortgage provided that such covenants and any related agreements are in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and further provided that no such covenants or agreements shall result in (i) a violation of any License for the Garage, (ii) a breach of the terms of any Lease at the Tower Parcel, (iii) the impairment of, or interference with, any obligation under any Lease at the Tower Parcel to provide parking at the Garage or (iv) a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ financial condition or the value of the Properties.

Tower Borrower shall not (a) waive any material obligation of Easement Grantor under the Parking Easement, (b) waive, excuse, condone or in any way release or discharge Easement Grantor of or from Easement Grantor’s material obligations, covenants and/or conditions under the Parking Easement, (c) extend or shorten any period for the exercise of any rights by Easement Grantor, (d) agree to materially increase Tower Borrower’s obligations or reduce Tower Borrower’s benefits under the Parking Easement, or (e) otherwise modify or amend in any material fashion the Parking Easement, without, in each case,

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on the Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of the gross income from the applicable Property and the Vacant Space Rent, if any, for the succeeding thirty (30) month period.

(b)    All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by a syndicate of not less than five (5) financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State, of which either (i) one hundred percent (100%) shall have a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, or (ii) sixty percent (60%) shall have a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency, and the remaining forty percent (40%) of which shall have a claims paying ability rating of “BBB-” or better (and the equivalent thereof) by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies rating the Securities (one of which must be S&P if S&P is rating the Securities, and one of which must be Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities), or if only one Rating Agency is rating the Securities, then only by such Rating Agency.  The Policies described in Section 6.1(a) hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as mortgagee and loss payee.  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrowers to Lender.
(c)    The insurance coverage required under this Section 6.1 may be effected under one or more blanket Policies covering the Properties and other property and assets not constituting a part of the Properties; provided that any blanket Policy shall specify, except in the 

76






case of general liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such blanket Policy that is allocated exclusively to each Property and shall comply in all respects with the requirements of this Section 6.1. Lender hereby confirms that it approves (i) the terms of the existing “Property Insurance Sharing Agreement” among Borrowers and certain of its Affiliates, and (ii) that the Insurance Premiums are financed through one or more finance companies (individually and/or collectively, the “Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement”) to whom Borrower’s pay Borrowers’ allocable share of the annual initial deposit and the monthly payments due for each blanket Policy to the applicable finance company (with respect to each blanket Policy, such monthly payment, together with one-twelfth (1/12th) of the allocable share of the annual initial deposit necessary to accumulate such allocable share for such Policy at least thirty (30) days prior to its due date, each, a “Financing Installment”).
(d)    All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name Borrowers as the insured and Lender (and its Affiliates) as additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e)    All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)    no act or negligence of either Borrower, or anyone acting for either Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)    the Policies shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii)    the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the Policies have not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(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 Policies are in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrowers, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender deems appropriate.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

77






Section 6.2    Casualty.  If either Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender, and (b) promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that such Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition such 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.  Borrowers 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 Borrowers.  In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) and Borrowers shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3    Condemnation.  Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of any Condemnation affecting any 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 Borrowers shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such participation.  Borrowers shall, at their 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 any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrowers shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Condemnation Proceeds shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Condemnation Proceeds by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Condemnation Proceeds interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Notes.  If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrowers shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute Restoration of the applicable Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 herein.  If any Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Condemnation Proceeds, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on either Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Condemnation Proceeds, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 6.4    Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of either Property:

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), (vi), (ix) and (x) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of any payments received from a Governmental Authority on account of Condemnation or in any transaction or proceeding in lieu thereof, after deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel costs and fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i)    In the event that the Net Proceeds equal or exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00), the Net Proceeds shall, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of the Obligations or applied to reimburse Borrowers for the cost of the Restoration of the applicable Property in the manner set forth below.  In the event that the Net Proceeds are less than Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00), the Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrowers for the Restoration of the applicable Property upon the approval of Lender that the following conditions are met:
(A)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)    (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the applicable Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of the land constituting the applicable Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Property, and no portion of the related Improvements is located on such land;
(C)    Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than ninety percent (90%) of the total rentable space in the applicable Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or

(F)    Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration of such Property will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii) hereof;
(G)    such Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H)    the Restoration of such Property shall be done and completed Borrowers in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(J)    the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the next twelve (12) full calendar months, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.20:1.00;
(K)    the Loan-to-Value Ratio after giving effect to Restoration, shall be equal to or less than seventy five percent (75%);
(L)    Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrowers’ architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration of such Property, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender; and

80






(M)    the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrowers with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration of such Property.
(ii)    The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the Other Obligations.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrowers from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence 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, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanics’ or materialmans’ liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the affected Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company.
(iii)    All plans and specifications required in connection with Restoration shall be subject to prior review and 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 such Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in such Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrowers.
(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 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 Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 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 such Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence 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 

81






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 Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the 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 opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers 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 the Other Obligations.
(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 of the applicable Property has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender (I) to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, or (II) if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing, to Borrowers.
(c)    All Net Proceeds not required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (i) to be made available for Restoration, or (ii) to be returned to a Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof, may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof toward reduction of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper, or, in Lender’s discretion, the same may be paid, (A) if the Mezzanine Loan is outstanding, to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, or (B) if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full, to Borrowers either in whole or in part, for such purposes as Lender shall approve in its discretion.  No prepayment charge shall be payable by Borrowers by reason of a Casualty or Condemnation so 

82






long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing prior to such Casualty or Condemnation.
(d)    In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to any Property or Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Property or Properties 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.
ARTICLE 7
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1    Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1    Deposits.  On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amount set forth on Schedule II attached hereto and made a part hereof, to perform the Required Repairs multiplied by one hundred twenty-five percent (125%).  Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof.  Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers’ “Required Repair Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”.  Borrowers shall perform the repairs at the Properties as more particularly set forth on Schedule II hereto (such repairs hereinafter collectively referred to as “Required Repairs”).  Borrowers shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II.  It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrowers do not complete the Required Repairs by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II (except for postponement of such deadlines as a result of Unavoidable Delays), or (b) Borrowers do not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof.  Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  
7.1.2    Release of Required Repair Funds.  (a)  Lender shall disburse to Borrowers the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time, but not more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period, upon satisfaction by Borrowers of each of the following conditions with respect to each disbursement:  (i) Borrowers shall submit a written request for payment to Lender (with a copy to the Title Company) at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Borrowers request such payment be made, which request specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received an Officer’s Certificate for each Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and 

83






workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs and not previously delivered to Lender, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (C) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, for work completed and/or materials furnished to date, such Officer’s Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company, (iv) Lender shall have received a title search indicating that the Properties are free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrowers.  Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $5,000.00 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $5,000.00, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
(b)    Nothing in this Section 7.1.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Required Repairs Funds to complete any Required Repairs; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrowers additional sums to complete any Required Repairs.
(c)    Borrowers shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including Lender’s engineer, architect or inspector) or third parties to enter onto the Properties during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Required Repairs and all materials being used in connection therewith and to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Required Repairs.  Borrowers 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 7.1.2(c).
(d)    If a disbursement will exceed $50,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property or Properties at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a disbursement of Required Repairs Funds in order to verify completion of the Required Repairs for which reimbursement is sought.  Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional architect acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Required Repairs Funds.  Borrowers shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional architect.
(e)    In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrowers shall provide or cause to be provided worker’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, 

84






and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with the Required Repairs.  All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
7.1.3    Balance in Required Repair Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Required Repair Account shall not relieve Borrowers from their obligation to perform the Required Repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all Legal Requirements.
Section 7.2    Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds.  Borrowers shall pay to Lender (i)(A) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $2,029,336.48 and (i)(B) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their delinquency date, and (ii)(A) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $288,259.50 (the “Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Installment”) and (ii)(B) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (ii)(C) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12th)  of such Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies for an annual period 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 the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) being hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”).  Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to an account held by Lender (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”).  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the Monthly Interest Payment shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrowers to Lender.  Provided no Event of Default shall exist, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof and under the Mortgage and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, 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 Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be transferred to the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or, if the Mezzanine Loan has been paid in full, returned to Borrowers.  In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the applicable Property and/or Properties.  If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that 

85






Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.  All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall become part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 7.2.  If Lender so elects at any time, Borrowers shall provide, at Borrowers’ expense, a tax service contract for the term of the Loan issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender.  If Lender does not so elect, Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the term of the Loan.
Section 7.3    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.4    Rollover Reserve.
7.4.1    Deposits to Rollover Reserve Funds.
(a)    On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the amount of $4,000,000.00 to pay for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Borrowers after the date hereof.  On each Payment Date Borrowers shall pay to Lender the sum of $171,000.00, which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred following the date hereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period in which the total deposits of Rollover Reserve Funds equal or exceed $4,000,000.00, Borrowers shall not be required to make any further deposits to the Rollover Reserve Funds.  In the event the balance of the Rollover Escrow Fund shall thereafter be reduced to less than $4,000,000.00, Borrowers shall again deposit with Lender, commencing on the next Monthly Payment Date, the monthly amount set forth above until the total amount of the Rollover Reserve Funds on deposit with Lender shall equal $4,000,000.00.  In addition, notwithstanding any limitations on the amount to be deposited in the Rollover Reserve Funds, Borrowers shall pay to Lender for deposit with Lender those additional funds described in Section 7.4.1(b) hereof.  All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”.  
(b)    In addition to the required deposits set forth in Section 7.4.1(a) above, the following items shall be deposited into the Rollover Reserve Account and held as Rollover Reserve Funds, which Rollover Reserve Funds shall be held by Lender and disbursed only in accordance with Section 7.4.2 below.  Each Borrower shall advise Lender at the time of receipt thereof of the nature of such receipt so that Lender shall have sufficient time to instruct the Deposit Bank to deposit and hold such amounts in the Rollover Reserve Account pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement:
(i)    All sums paid with respect to (A) a modification of any Lease or otherwise paid in connection with such Borrower taking any action under any Lease (e.g., granting a consent) or waiving any provision thereof, (B) any settlement of claims of such Borrower against third parties in connection with any Lease; (C) any rejection, termination, surrender or cancellation of any Lease (including in any bankruptcy case) or any lease buy-out or surrender payment from any tenant (including any payment relating to unamortized tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions) (collectively “Lease 

86






Termination Payments”), and/or (D) any sum received from any tenant to obtain a consent to an assignment or sublet or otherwise, or any holdover rents or use and occupancy fees from any tenant or former tenant (to the extent not being paid for use and occupancy or holdover rent); and
(ii)    Any other extraordinary event pursuant to which such Borrower receives payments or income (in whatever form) derived from or generated by the use, ownership or operation of a Property or Properties not otherwise covered by this Agreement or the Cash Management Agreement.
7.4.2    Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds.  (a)  Provided that no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Funds for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Borrowers, as requested in writing by Borrowers, for the Tower Parcel other than the Gas Company Space (or, if no Gas Company Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, for the Gas Company Space) as requested, in writing by Borrowers on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $25,000.00, within five (5) Business Days after delivery by Borrowers of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by: (a) copies of invoices for the amounts requested for tenant improvements and leasing commissions and with respect to Approved Leasing Expenses under new Leases or Lease renewals or modifications, the newly executed Lease or the newly executed Lease extension, renewal, or modification, (b) an Officer’s Certificate for each Borrower (i) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Approved Leasing Expenses, and a description thereof, (ii) stating that all tenant improvements at the applicable Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the tenant improvements to be funded by the requested disbursement or the broker entitled to the leasing commissions, (iv) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement for work or services completed and/or materials furnished, (v) stating that the Approved Leasing Expenses to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (vi) stating that all previous disbursements of Rollover Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, (vii) stating that all outstanding trade payables which relate to the Leases for which Approved Leasing Expenses are then to be paid (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting permitted Indebtedness under this Agreement) have been paid in full, and (viii) stating that the related tenant improvements have been paid in full or will be paid for in full from the requested disbursement or a certification for leasing commission disbursements stating that such leasing commission has been paid in full or will be paid for in full from the requested disbursement, (c) lien waivers, if applicable, and release or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment, and (d) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the Approved Leasing Expenses to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrowers.  Any disbursement by Lender hereunder in excess of $25,000.00 and not already paid for by Borrowers shall be made by joint check, payable to Borrowers and the applicable contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor, broker or other party to whom payment is due in connection with such 

87






disbursement.  Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a disbursement in order to verify compliance with the requirements of this Section 7.4.2.  For so long as Gas Company Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, requests  for disbursements to pay Approved Leasing Expenses for the Gas Company Space shall be made from the Gas Company Reserve Funds, and not from Rollover Reserve Funds.  
Section 7.5    Gas Company Reserve Funds.
7.5.1    Deposit of Gas Company Reserve Funds.  In the event that (a) Gas Company shall not have exercised the extension option contained in the Gas Company Lease on or prior to May 8, 2010, or (b) Gas Company vacates or gives notice of its intent to vacate the Gas Company Space or otherwise closes its business for any reason (other than during the period from the occurrence of a Casualty affecting the Tower Parcel through the date the damage to the Tower Parcel from such Casualty is restored and repaired), unless the long term unsecured debt rating of Gas Company (or if rated higher, the long term unsecured debt rating of any parent company of Gas Company providing a lease guaranty of the Gas Company Lease) is “BBB” or better or Gas Company has sublet all of the Gas Company Space for a term equal to the lesser of five (5) years or the remaining term of the Gas Company Lease, at a Full Service Gross Rent that is not less than the Full Service Gross Rent payable by Gas Company under the Gas Company Lease and such sublease shall otherwise be on such terms and conditions and demised to such subtenant or subtenants as shall be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion and otherwise in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof; or (c) Gas Company is in default under the Gas Company Lease beyond any applicable grace and cure periods, or (d) Gas Company is the subject of a Bankruptcy Action, or (e) Gas Company (or, if a lease guaranty is provided by Gas Company’s parent company for all of the obligations of Gas Company under the Gas Company Lease, such parent company) fails to maintain an Investment Grade Rating (a “Downgrade Sweep Event”) (the occurrence of any of such events described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) is hereinafter referred to as an “Gas Company Trigger Event”); then on each Payment Date following the occurrence of any such Gas Company Trigger Event, Borrower shall deposit all Excess Cash Flow (such funds so deposited being referred to herein as the “Gas Company Reserve Funds”) into an account (the “Gas Company Reserve Account”) held by Lender (it being specifically agreed and understood that Borrowers shall be required to continue to make such deposits of Excess Cash Flow into the Gas Company Reserve Account until a Gas Company Sweep Termination (as defined below) occurs  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Gas Company Trigger Event is a Downgrade Sweep Event, and no other Gas Company Trigger Event then exists, the total amount of the deposits in the Gas Company Reserve Account shall be limited to $30,000,000.00; provided, however, that such deposits in the Gas Company Reserve Account shall be increased to $60,000,000.00 if the long term unsecured debt rating of Gas Company (or, if rated higher, the long term unsecured debt rating of any parent company of Gas Company providing a lease guaranty of the Gas Company Lease) is less than “BB-” from (i) prior to a Securitization, S&P and (ii) after a Securitization, any one of Moody’s, S&P, Fitch or any other nationally-recognized statistical rating agency rating the Securities).  The Gas Company Reserve Account shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Obligations and disbursed to Borrower in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5.2.  

88






Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Gas Company Trigger Event, Borrower’s failure to deposit all Excess Cash Flow into the Gas Company Reserve Account shall constitute an Event of Default.  If at any time during the term of the Loan after the occurrence of a Gas Company Trigger Event, a Gas Company Sweep Termination occurs, then provided no Event of Default exists, all amounts in the Gas Company Reserve Account will be released to Borrowers.  Each subsequent time a Gas Company Trigger Event occurs during the term of the Loan, all Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited into the Gas Company Reserve Account as set forth above until, if ever, a Gas Company Sweep Termination occurs.  For purposes hereof, the term “Gas Company Sweep Termination” shall mean the occurrence of the following:  (i) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event described in clause (a) above, Gas Company shall have exercised its option to extend the Gas Company Lease pursuant to and in accordance with the Gas Company Lease. (ii) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event described in clause (b) above, Borrower shall have delivered to Lender either (A) an estoppel certificate executed by Gas Company satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion certifying to Lender that the Gas Company Lease is in full force and effect, Gas Company is paying full and unabated Rent in accordance with the Gas Company Lease, and Gas Company reoccupies the Tower Parcel for business and has reoccupied the Tower Parcel for business for a period of not less than one (1) year or (B) evidence satisfactory to Lender that all the Gas Company Replacement Lease Requirements have been satisfied; (iii) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event described in clause (c) above, Borrowers shall have delivered to Lender evidence satisfactory to Lender that Gas Company is no longer in default under the Gas Company Lease or that the Gas Company Replacement Lease Requirements have been satisfied, or (iv) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event described in clause (d) above, the Bankruptcy Action is dismissed with prejudice or a reorganization plan satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion is approved by the bankruptcy court, the Gas Company Lease is assumed as part of such reorganization plan and all defaults under the Gas Company Lease are cured and Gas Company provides security for its obligations under the Gas Company Lease satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion; and (v) with respect to the Gas Company Trigger Event described in clause (e) above, Gas Company (or, if rated higher, the long term unsecured debt rating of any parent company of Gas Company providing a lease guaranty of the Gas Company Lease) achieves an Investment Grade Rating and maintains such Investment Grade Rating for a period of not less than one (1) year, and (vi) with respect to any Gas Company Trigger Event described in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) above, the Tower Parcel maintains an Underwritten Tower Debt Service Coverage Ratio of not less than 1.20:1.0 for four consecutive calendar quarters following the occurrence of the Gas Company Trigger Event.
7.5.2    Disbursement of Gas Company Reserve Funds.  If any portion of the Gas Company Space (or, if no Rollover Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, any other portion of the Tower Parcel) is demised to a tenant approved by Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to a Lease approved by Lender in its sole discretion, then the funds in the Gas Company Reserve Account shall be made available by Lender for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Tower Borrower with respect to such tenant.  Provided that no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall make disbursements as requested, in writing, by Borrowers on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $50,000.00 upon compliance by Borrowers with the conditions set forth in Section 7.4.2.  In addition, in the event that, on any Payment Date, the 

89






amount on deposit in the Cash Management Account, after application of funds therein to pay the amounts set forth in Section 2.7.2(b)(i), is insufficient to pay the Monthly Interest Payment and any other amounts then payable by Borrowers to Lender under the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to apply the Gas Company Reserve Funds to the payments of any such amounts.  For so long as Rollover Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, requests for disbursements to pay Approved Leasing Expenses for space other than the Gas Company Space shall be made as disbursements of Rollover Reserve Funds, and not as disbursement of Gas Company Reserve Funds.
Section 7.6    Sidley Austin Reserve Funds.
7.6.1    Deposit to Sidley Austin Reserve Funds.  (a) Borrowers shall deposit with Lender on the Closing Date the sum of $500,000.00, and on each Payment Date Borrowers shall pay to Lender the sum of $4,166.67, which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement obligations incurred following the date hereof known as the “Refurbishment Allowance” as more fully described in the Sixth Amendment of that certain Office Lease between Maguire Thomas–Fifth & Grand, Ltd. (predecessor in interest to Tower Borrower), as landlord, and Sidley Austin, as tenant, dated June 29, 1992, as same may have been or may be further amended, modified or supplemented (the “Sidley Austin Lease”), in connection with those premises demised to Sidley Austin at the Tower Parcel.  All such amounts deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Sidley Austin Reserve Funds” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Sidley Austin Reserve Account”.
7.6.2    Withdrawal of Sidley Austin Reserve Funds.  Provided that no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall make disbursements from the Sidley Austin Reserve Account for advances made by Lender to reimburse the tenant under the Sidley Austin Lease for the “Refurbishment Allowance” as set forth in the Sidley Austin Lease.  All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its sole discretion.  Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrowers on a monthly basis in the amount of the payment of any such “Refurbishment Allowance” upon delivery by Borrowers of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by: (a) copies of invoices for the amounts requested for the “Refurbishment Allowance”, (b) an Officer’s Certificate for each Borrower (i) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement constitute an item(s) of “Refurbishment Allowance” and a description thereof, (ii) stating that all items to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (iii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the items to be funded by the requested disbursement, (iv) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement for work or services completed and/or materials furnished, (v) stating that the items to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (vi) stating that all previous disbursements of Sidley Austin Reserve Funds have been used to pay the previously identified as “Refurbishment Allowance”, (vii) stating that all outstanding trade payables which relate to the “Refurbishment Allowance”  are then to be paid (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting permitted Indebtedness under this Agreement) have been paid in full, and (viii) stating that the related “Refurbishment Allowance” have been paid in full or will be paid for in full from the requested 

90






disbursement, (c) lien waivers, if applicable, and release or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender and the Title Company from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment, and (d) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrowers.  Any disbursement by Lender hereunder in excess of $50,000.00 and not already paid for by Borrowers shall be made by joint check, payable to Borrowers and the applicable contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor, broker or other party to whom payment is due in connection with such disbursement.  Lender may require an inspection of the premises demised to Sidley Austin at the Tower Parcel at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of the improvements for which the “Refurbishment Allowance” reimbursement is sought.
Section 7.7    Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a)    Borrowers grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each reserve account as additional security for payment and performance of the Obligations.  Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.  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 reduction of the Debt in any order in its discretion.  The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b)    Borrowers shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Funds or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. 
(c)    The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender.  Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest or other earnings on any of the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, which shall belong to Lender) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies comprising such Reserve Funds.  Borrowers shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments, provided that (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds).  No other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted 

91






except as set forth in this Section 7.7.  Borrowers shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments.  Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender.  Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d)    Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify Lender and hold Lender 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.  Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims any Borrower may have against all Persons 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.

(b)    Upon the occurrence 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 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 Borrowers and in and to the Properties, including declaring the Obligations 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 Borrowers and the Properties (or any Property), including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all Other Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the 

94






other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrowers hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2    Remedies.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers 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.  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, 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, Borrowers agree that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law (i) Lender shall not be 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 the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Notes 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 for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Borrowers 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.  Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) 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 Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.

95






(c)    Except as limited by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and/or interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the Debt as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(d)    Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender determines.
(e)    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 Borrowers 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.  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 Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE 9
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1    Sale of Notes and Securitization.  (a)  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or require Borrowers to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) (“Multiple Notes”) and/or issue one or more participations therein, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan into one or more mezzanine loans to the owners of the direct and/or indirect equity interests in either Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests, 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 includes the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).  At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrowers under this Agreement, Borrowers shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market 

96






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, including to:
(i)    provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(ii)    assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by either of the Borrowers, either of the Principals and their respective Affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
(iii)    deliver (A) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (B) revised organizational documents for each Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(iv)    if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Properties, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(v)    make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Guarantor and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
(vi)    execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original Notes or modify the original Notes, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified Notes shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Notes and provide for the same total amortization payments, but each such new note or modified Notes may have different interest rates and provide for varying amortization payments), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be 

97






required to modify any of the Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (A) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrowers or (B) modify or amend the Loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the Loan or otherwise materially adversely increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrowers under the Loan Documents, including modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, events of default, or remedy provisions, or the organizational documents of either of the Borrowers or its Affiliates;
(vii)    if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Guarantor, Manager and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any Affiliate thereof; and
(viii)    supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports as may be in the possession or control of any Borrower or its Affiliates in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
(b)    All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrowers or Guarantor in connection with Borrowers complying with requests made under clause (a) of this Section 9.1 (including the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrowers, except that Lender shall reimburse Borrowers for all such costs and expenses in excess of $25,000.00.
(c)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(a) hereof to the contrary, and without limiting the provisions of Section 9.7.1 and/or 9.7.2 hereof, Borrowers covenant and agree that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances of each of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan between each other and to require the payment of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, however, that the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan following any such reallocation or modification shall not be changed from the weighted average interest rate in effect immediately preceding such reallocation or modification; but, provided further, that such modifications may, as a result of prepayments pursuant to which Lender expressly has the right to repay the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan disproportionately, subsequently change the weighted average interest rate.
(d)    In connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a “Re-Dating”).  Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating.  If Borrowers fail to cooperate with Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as Borrowers’ attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating such power being irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

98






(e)    All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrowers, Guarantor or Lender in connection with Borrowers complying with requests made under clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 9.1 (including the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.
Section 9.2    Securitization Indemnification.
(a)    Borrowers understand 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 and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.  In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrowers will cooperate with the holder of the Notes 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 (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Principals, Manager and/or the Loan (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), and (B) that the Covered Disclosure Information does 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, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “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 contained in any of the Disclosure Documents, but only to the extent based upon Provided Information, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have had an opportunity to review the Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with 

99






investigating or defending the Liabilities.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have.  Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
(c)    In connection with the Exchange Act Filing, 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 Provided Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have had an opportunity to review such Exchange Act Filing, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2.  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 

100






(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 any Indemnifying Person.
(e)    Without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned 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 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 proceeding.  As long as an Indemnifying 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, conditioned 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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(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.  The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h)    The rights liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.

101






(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.4    Exculpation.  Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers (or any of Borrowers’ members, managers, partners shareholders, officers, directors or Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, collectively, the “Borrower Parties”) to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against either Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in any or all of the Properties, the Rents, the Vacant Space Rent or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers or the Borrower Parties only to the extent of Borrowers’ or the Borrower Parties’ interest in the Properties, in the Rents, in the Vacant Space Rent and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against either Borrower or the Borrower Parties in any such action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Notes, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrowers as party defendants in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against Borrowers in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any actual loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i)    fraud or intentional misrepresentation by either Borrowers or any Guarantor in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under RICO;

(iv)    wrongful removal or destruction by either Borrower or any Affiliate of either Borrower of any portion of the Properties after the occurrence of an Event of Default or any intentional physical waste of the Properties or any portion thereof by either Borrower or any Affiliate thereof, provided, however, that such physical waste shall exclude wear and tear to the Properties or any portion thereof that occurs in the ordinary course of business of the Properties;
(v)    any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by either Borrower of either of the Properties, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by any Borrower or any Restricted Party in connection therewith;
(vi)    any misrepresentation, miscertification or breach of warranty by either Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to any representation, warranty or certification contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document executed in connection therewith, pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow) or to take other action with respect to the Collateral (as defined in the Mortgage);
(vii)    the misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of either Borrower or any of its Affiliates of (A) any Insurance Proceeds, (B) any Condemnation Proceeds, (C) any Rents and/or Vacant Space Rent following an Event of Default, or (D) any Rents and/or Vacant Space Rent paid more than one (1) month in advance; provided such amounts are not applied to the payment of the Loan or the Operating Expenses of either Property;
(viii)    failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Properties that are superior to the Lien of the Mortgage, unless such charges are being contested in accordance herewith; 
(ix)    any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected by either Borrower or any Affiliate thereof with respect to either Property or any part thereof which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Properties or any part thereof or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
(x)    if either Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Properties or any part thereof, fails to provide financial information specifically required by this Agreement or fails to appoint a new Manager upon the request of Lender, each as 

103






required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Mortgage;  
(xi)    (A) if the Operating Partnership shall default under either of the Master Leases beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period contained therein, or (B) if either Master Lease shall have been amended or modified (except as specified in Section 3.1.21 hereof) without Lender’s prior written consent, or (C) if either Master Lease shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered without Lender’s prior written consent in violation of Section 5.2.13 hereof (except as specified in Section 3.1.21 hereof), or (D) if the Operating Partnership is the subject of a Bankruptcy Action, other than an involuntary Bankruptcy Action which is dismissed within ninety (90) days; or
(xii)    (A) if there shall exist an event of default by Tower Borrower under the Parking Easement beyond any applicable notice and/or cure period contained therein, or (B) if the Parking Easement shall have been amended or modified in violation of Section 5.2.11 hereof) without Lender’s prior written consent, or (C) if the Parking Easement shall have been terminated, cancelled or surrendered (other than by the terms of the Parking Easement) without Lender’s prior written consent in violation of Section 5.2.11 hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Borrowers shall be jointly and severally personally liable for the payment of the Debt (1) in the event of: (a) either Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law by any other Person in which either Borrower colludes with or otherwise assists such Person, or solicits or causes to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against either Borrower from any Person; (c) either Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) either Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for either Borrower or any portion of the Properties; or (e) either Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (2) if the first Monthly Interest Payment is not paid when due; (3) if either Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Special Purpose Entity as required by and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and there is a substantive consolidation of either Borrower with any other Person; (4) if either Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Properties or any part thereof as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (5) if either Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.

Borrowers shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement or for the payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7    Restructuring of Loan.
9.7.1    Mezzanine Loan.
(a)    Lender and Borrowers have contemporaneously with the negotiation of the Loan Documents also negotiated a complete set of all of the material mezzanine loan documents, true, correct and complete copies of which are attached as Exhibits 1-12 hereto (the “Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents”).  The Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents have been negotiated in anticipation of Lender, subsequent to the Closing Date, splitting off a portion of the Loan to create, and enter into, a mezzanine loan (the “Anticipated Mezzanine Loan”), which Anticipated Mezzanine Loan: (i) shall be on substantially the same terms as the Loan (to the extent applicable to a mezzanine loan) as embodied in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (to the extent applicable to a mezzanine loan), except that, without limitation, the non-default interest rate applicable to such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan may be greater than the Interest Rate, so long as the weighted non-default interest rate of the Loan and such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall, at the time of the creation of such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, equal the Interest Rate; (ii) shall have a maturity date of not earlier than the Maturity Date for the Loan; and (iii) shall be made utilizing the Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents, together with such other ancillary documents and deliveries as are customary or necessary in Lender’s reasonable judgment and, to the extent applicable, are either in substantially the same form as were executed and delivered in connection with the Loan or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Borrowers.  From and after the consummation, if ever, of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, such Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall thereafter be referred to herein and in the other Loan Documents as the “Mezzanine Loan”.
(b)    In connection with the negotiation and consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, Borrowers and Operating Partnership shall, and Operating Partnership shall cause Mezzanine Borrowers to, cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to 

105






create the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, including (i) negotiating, executing and delivering loan documents in form and substance identical to the Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents, and to the extent additional documentation is required, in a form substantially similar to the parallel Loan Document, containing representations, warranties and covenants substantially identical to those set forth in the Loan Documents or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Borrowers, and (ii) causing Mezzanine Borrowers’ counsel to deliver such legal opinions as Lender shall reasonably request, all in form and substance substantially identical to those provided in connection with the Loan or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Mezzanine Borrowers.
(c)    Borrowers and Operating Partnership shall expeditiously and in good faith negotiate, execute and/or deliver, or Operating Partnership shall cause Mezzanine Borrowers to negotiate, execute and/or deliver, any material agreement, document, title insurance coverage, opinion letter or other item contemplated by this Section 9.7.1 or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan.
(d)    Until such time, if ever, as the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan shall be consummated, (i) all references in this Agreement (other than the references made in this Section 9.7.1) and the other Loan Documents to the Mezzanine Loan, the Mezzanine Borrowers, the Mezzanine Lender, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other terms related to any thereof, including the Mezzanine Cash Management Account, Mezzanine Debt, a Mezzanine Default, a Mezzanine Event of Default, the Mezzanine Loan Agreement, the Mezzanine Loan Documents, the Mezzanine Loan Outstanding Principal Balance, the Mezzanine Principal, and/or the Mezzanine Reserve Funds shall be deemed removed herefrom and therefrom and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be interpreted as though such references do not exist herein or therein, (ii) Article 11 of this Agreement shall be deemed omitted herefrom, (iii) any distributions or payments that are payable to Borrowers upon the condition that the Mezzanine Loan has been repaid in full, shall be paid to Borrowers, (iv) the calculations of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Underwritten Garage Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and the Underwritten Tower Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall assume no debt service is payable on account of the Mezzanine Loan, and (v) the application of payments of principal under Section 2.4.5 shall be made in the same fashion as if the Mezzanine Loan and the Mezzanine Debt had been paid in full, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by Borrowers, however, that at all times from and after the Closing Date, whether or not an Anticipated Mezzanine Loan has been consummated, the provisions of Section 5.2.10(d)(C) hereof and Sections 5.2.10(h)(i) and (ii) hereof with respect to Mezzanine Borrowers shall continue to apply.
(e)    Upon the consummation of the Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, this Agreement shall be amended to eliminate this Section 9.7.1 and the definitions set forth herein and, where appropriate, to (i) insert the appropriate amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan, (ii) insert appropriate dates for the Mezzanine Loan Documents, (iii) insert appropriate numeric values for the calculations of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, the Underwritten Garage Debt Service Coverage Ratio, and the Underwritten Tower Debt Service Coverage Ratio, (iv) insert revised definitions of the Mezzanine Loan and the Intercreditor Agreement, making reference to 

106






the actual date of execution, and (v) make such other changes as are appropriate and consistent with the consummated Mezzanine Loan.
(f)    Borrowers acknowledge that, upon consummation, Lender intends to sell the Mezzanine Loan, which sale may occur coincident with the closing of the Mezzanine Loan or at some time thereafter. In connection with any such sale of the Mezzanine Loan, Borrowers and Operating Partnership agree that they shall, and Operating Partnership shall cause Mezzanine Borrowers to, cooperate with all reasonable requests of the purchaser, including agreeing to such amendments to the Mezzanine Loan Documents as such purchaser shall request, so long as such amendments do not increase in more than a de minimis amount the obligations of Mezzanine Borrowers under the Mezzanine Loan Documents or reduce in more than a de minimis amount the rights of Mezzanine Borrowers under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Borrowers nor Mezzanine Borrowers shall have any obligation to agree to any amendment to the Mezzanine Loan Documents that materially changes the economic obligations of the Mezzanine Borrowers under the Mezzanine Loan Documents from those existing before any such amendment.
(g)    Borrowers’ and Operating Partnership’s failure, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request, to execute and/or deliver, or Operating Partnership’s failure to cause Mezzanine Borrowers to execute and/or deliver, the Proposed Mezzanine Loan Documents and/or any other agreement, document, opinion, letter or other item contemplated by this Section 9.7.1 or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation of an Anticipated Mezzanine Loan, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
9.7.2    Future Restructuring.  Without limiting the generality of Section 9.7.1 hereof and in addition thereto, at any time prior to the Securitization of the entire Loan, Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time to require Borrowers to restructure the Loan into multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan to any Mezzanine Loan or one or more additional mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”) to the owners of the direct and/or indirect equity interests in Borrowers, secured by a pledge of such interests, and/or the reallocation of a portion of the Mezzanine Loan to the Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan or the establishment of different interest rates, floor interest rates and debt service payments for the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan and the payment of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided that (i) the total amounts of the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans shall equal the amount of the Loan and the Mezzanine 

107






Loan, and (iii) except in the case of an Event of Default under, or a prepayment of, the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and/or any New Mezzanine Loan, the debt service payments on the Loan, the Mezzanine Loan and all New Mezzanine Loans shall equal the debt service payments which would have been payable under the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan had the restructuring not occurred.  Borrowers shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan and create any New Mezzanine Loan, if applicable, and shall, upon ten (10) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (A) execute and deliver such documents or cause each Mezzanine Borrower to execute such documents, including in the case of any New Mezzanine Loan, a mezzanine note, a mezzanine loan agreement, a pledge and security agreement, and a mezzanine deposit account agreement, (B) cause Borrowers’ counsel to deliver such legal opinions, and (C) create such bankruptcy remote borrower under each New Mezzanine Loan as, in each of the case of clauses (A), (B) and (C) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender or required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including the severance of this Agreement, the Mortgage and other Loan Documents if requested.  Borrowers’ failure to comply with its obligation under this Section 9.7 within ten (10) Business Days after Borrowers’ receipt of notice of such failure shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement.
9.7.3    Multiple Notes.
(a)    Pursuant to Section 9.1(a) hereof, Lender and Borrowers anticipate that subsequent to the Closing Date Lender may restructure the Loan into Multiple Notes by obtaining Borrowers’ execution of such Multiple Notes and the execution of an amendment to this Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement Amendment”).  Such Multiple Notes: (i) shall be on substantially the same terms as the Notes executed on the Closing Date, as governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, except that, without limitation, pursuant to such Loan Agreement Amendment, the non-default interest rate applicable to one or more of the Multiple Notes may be greater than the Interest Rate, so long as the weighted non-default interest rate of all the Multiple Notes shall, at the time of the creation of such Multiple Notes, equal the Interest Rate; (ii) shall have a maturity date of not earlier than the Maturity Date for the Loan; (iii) shall be made utilizing a form of Note identical, except as to amount, to the Notes, together with such other ancillary documents and deliveries as are customary or necessary in Lender’s reasonable judgment (including an enforceability opinion from Borrowers’ counsel with respect to the Loan Agreement Amendment) and, to the extent applicable, are any in substantially the same form as were executed and delivered in connection with the Loan or are otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrowers, and (iv) the Loan Agreement Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby shall not, in any material respect, increase the economic obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents.  From and after the execution, if ever, of the Multiple Notes, Lender shall cancel the original Notes and promptly return it to Borrowers.
(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1(a) hereof to the contrary, and without limiting the provisions of this Section 9.7.3, Borrowers covenant and agree that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances of each of the Multiple Notes and to require the payment of the Multiple Notes in such order of priority as may be 

108






designated by Lender; provided, however, that the weighted average interest rate of the Multiple Notes following any such reallocation or modification shall not be changed from the weighted average interest rate in effect immediately preceding such reallocation or modification.  Borrowers further agree and acknowledge that Lender has expressly reserved the right to repay the principal amount of the Multiple Notes in a disproportionate manner reflecting the relative priority, if any, of such Multiple Notes on account of prepayments of principal (i) occurring upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) made from Net Proceeds, or (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, made from Rents and/or Vacant Space Rent, all as contemplated under Section 2.4.3 hereof; and as a result thereof the weighted average interest rate of the Loan may be changed.
(c)    Borrowers shall expeditiously and in good faith negotiate, execute and/or deliver, any material agreement, document, title insurance coverage, opinion letter or other item contemplated by this Section 9.7.3, or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation of the Multiple Notes.
(d)    Borrowers acknowledge that, upon execution, Lender intends to sell one or more of the Multiple Notes, which sale may occur coincident with the execution of the Multiple Notes or at some time thereafter. In connection with any such sale of one or more of the Multiple Notes, each Borrower agrees that it shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the purchaser, including agreeing to such amendments to the Loan Documents as such purchaser shall request, so long as such amendments do not increase in more than a de minimis amount the obligations of Borrowers under the Loan Documents or reduce in more than a de minimis amount the rights of Borrowers under the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not have any obligation to agree to any amendment to the Multiple Notes that changes the overall economic terms of the Loan from those existing before any such amendment.
(e)    Borrowers’ failure, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s request, to execute and/or deliver the Multiple Notes and/or any other agreement, document, opinion, letter or other item contemplated by this Section 9.7.3 or otherwise reasonably requested by Lender in connection with the consummation of the Multiple Notes, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder.
9.7.4    Costs and Expenses.  Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred by Lender in connection with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.7, but Borrowers shall be responsible for their own legal fees and other associated expenses.

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.
Section 10.10    Preferences.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Debt.  To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any 

113






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.  Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and 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 Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section 10.12    Remedies of Borrowers.  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, Borrowers agree that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ 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.
(a)    Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) 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 Borrowers (including any opinions reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to either Property); (ii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers’ ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrowers’ respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on their part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, 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; (iv) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing the compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for 

114






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, any in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting either or both Borrowers, this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, either Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrowers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to any Property 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; provided, however, that Borrowers 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 or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to either Property.  Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account.
(b)    Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender 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 the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by either Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by either 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 Borrowers shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to either Property.  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, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c)    Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay for or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with 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.
Section 10.14    Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated.  The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

115






Section 10.15    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Notes 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 either Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by either 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 each Borrower.
Section 10.16    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in any Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers 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 (or any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if Lender determines it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17    Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by either Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.  Nothing in this Section 10.17 shall prevent either Borrower or Lender from disclosing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 10.17 in connection any Legal Requirements or any statutory reporting requirement applicable to either Borrower or Lender.
Section 10.18    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, such Borrower’s partners or members and others with interests in such Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, 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 

116






of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19    Waiver of Counterclaims.  Each 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.  Borrowers acknowledge that, with respect to the Loan, Borrowers shall rely solely on their 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 Borrowers, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive 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.  Borrowers acknowledge 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 businesses of Borrowers or their Affiliates.
Section 10.21    Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Borrowers hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Borrowers hereby agree 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 Borrowers 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, including the “Loan Application and Conditional Commitment Agreement” dated July 29, 2005, between Maguire Properties, L.P. and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23    Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

117






(a)    the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrowers’ management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrowers; 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 (which may be given verbally);
(b)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of each Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice (which may be given verbally);
(c)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including 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 either Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day-to-day operation of the Properties or any part thereof).
The rights described above in this Section 10.23 may be exercised by any entity which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.24    Duplicate Originals, Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement.  The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 10.25    Joint and Several Liability.  The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.
ARTICLE 11
MEZZANINE LOAN
Section 11.1    Mezzanine Loan Notices.
(a)    Promptly after receipt, Borrowers will deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from Mezzanine Lender by Mezzanine Borrower or any guarantor under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(b)    Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1.11 hereof, Borrowers will deliver (or cause Mezzanine Borrower to deliver) to Lender all of 

118






the financial statements, reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender under the Mezzanine Loan Documents as and when due under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(c)    Borrowers acknowledge and agree that the right of Mezzanine Lender to amend or modify the Mezzanine Loan Documents shall be limited as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrowers shall provide Lender with a copy of any amendment or modification to the Mezzanine Loan Documents within five (5) Business Days after the execution thereof.
Section 11.2    Mezzanine Loan Estoppels.  After written request by Lender, Borrowers shall (or shall cause Mezzanine Borrower to) from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mezzanine Loan and compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender.  In the event or to the extent that Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrowers shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrowers furnish to Lender estoppels executed by Borrowers and Mezzanine Borrowers expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine Loan and the compliance by Mezzanine Borrowers with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents.  Borrowers hereby jointly and severally indemnify Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrowers in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Borrowers and Mezzanine Borrowers.
Section 11.3    Reserve Funds.  Borrowers and Lender hereby agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if (a) all of the Obligations have been satisfied, (b) there is any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds, and (c) the Mezzanine Loan (or any portion thereof) is outstanding, then Lender will not pay any such remaining amount in the Reserve Funds to Borrowers, but rather shall deliver such amount to Mezzanine Lender to be held in accordance with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
Section 11.4    Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that the Intercreditor Agreement entered into between Lender and Mezzanine Lender, as of the date hereof solely for the benefit of Lender and Mezzanine Lender, and that none of the Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers are intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, have no rights thereunder and are not entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein.  Lender and Mezzanine Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrowers or Mezzanine Borrowers the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement.  Borrowers’ obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

44






Borrower is a party or by which any of such Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor 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 such Borrower or any of such Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by such Borrower, its Principal and/or any Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.1.4    Litigation. Except as disclosed to Lender in writing prior to the date hereof, 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 Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened against or affecting either of the Borrowers, either of the Mortgage Borrowers, Principal, any Guarantor, the Collateral, or either of the Properties, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against one or more of the Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, Principal, Guarantor, the Collateral or the Properties, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of either of the Borrowers, either of the Mortgage Borrowers, either of the Principal, any Guarantor or the condition or ownership of either of the Collateral or the Properties.
4.1.5    Agreements. Such Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect such Borrower, either of the Mortgage Borrowers, the Collateral, or the Properties or any part thereof, or such Borrower’s or either Mortgage Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. No Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is 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 such Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral, or the Properties or any part thereof are bound.

4.1.8    Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by such 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.

4.1.11    Financial Information.

5.1.1    Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Each Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect such Borrower’s and the related Mortgage Borrower’s existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to the Borrowers, the Mortgage

Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to, or to cause the related Mortgage Borrower not to, commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Each Borrower shall, or shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to, at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names, and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business, and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair, 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. Borrowers shall keep, or cause Mortgage Borrowers 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 notice to Lender, either Borrower, at its own expense, may contest, or cause Mortgage Borrower to 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 such Borrower, the Collateral, or the Properties or any part thereof or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided, that: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any instrument to which such Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder; (c) such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (d) the Collateral, the Properties, or any part thereof or interest therein will not be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of such contest; (e) such Borrower shall, upon final determination thereof, promptly comply, or cause the related Mortgage Borrower to comply, with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against the Borrowers, the Mortgage Borrowers, the Collateral and the Properties or any part thereof; and (g) such Borrower shall furnish or shall cause the related Mortgage Borrower to furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, 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 Requirement is finally established or the Collateral or the Properties (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2    Taxes and Other Charges. Borrowers shall pay or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Collateral and the Properties, or any part thereof, as the same become due and

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrowers’ or Mortgage Borrowers’ financial condition, the value of the Properties or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations (a) are made in connection with tenant improvement work performed pursuant to, or alterations permitted without Borrowers’ consent by, the terms of any Lease approved by Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements and the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), or (c) are performed in connection with Restoration after the occurrence of a Casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Properties (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or by disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Funds) shall at any time exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($2,500,000.00) (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrowers shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for the Obligations any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, (iv) a Letter of Credit, or (v) a completion and performance bond issued by an Approved Bank. 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 Properties (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases or by disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Funds)

62






over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations.


5.1.22    Operation of Properties. (a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to operate the Properties, in all material respects, in accordance with applicable Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any Management Agreement expires or is terminated (without limiting any obligation of Borrowers to obtain Lender’s consent to any termination or modification of any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), the applicable Borrower shall promptly cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable.
(b)    Borrowers shall: (i) cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly perform and/or observe, in all material respects, all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under any Management Agreement 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 any Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by any Borrower or Mortgage Borrower under any Management Agreement (which is not covered by the financial reporting requirements of Section 5.1.11 hereof); and (iv) cause Mortgage Borrowers to enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under any Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.


5.1.23    Parking Easement. (a) Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers, at their sole cost and expense, to promptly and timely perform and observe all the material terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and observed by Mortgage Borrowers under the Parking Easement.


(b)    If Mortgage Borrowers shall be in default under the Parking Easement, then, subject to the terms of the Parking Easement, Borrowers hereby grant and shall cause the Mortgage Borrowers to grant to Lender the right (but not the obligation), to cause the default or defaults under the Parking Easement to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Mortgage Borrowers under the Parking Easement, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default, and Lender shall have the right to enter all or any portion of the Easement Parcel at such times and in such manner as Lender deems necessary, to prevent or to cure any such default.
(c)    Upon the occurrence of any material default by Easement Grantor under the Parking Easement, Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to diligently pursue all of their remedies thereunder and at law and in equity to enforce the terms of the Parking Easement and Easement Grantor’s obligations thereunder.


(d)    The actions or payments of Lender to cure any default by Mortgage Borrowers under the Parking Easement shall not remove or waive, as between Borrowers, Mortgage Borrowers, and Lender, any Default or Event of Default that may occur under this

63

All sums expended by Lender to cure any such default shall be paid by Borrowers or Mortgage Borrowers to Lender, upon demand, with interest on such sum at the Default Rate from the date such sum is expended to and including the date the reimbursement payment is made to Lender. All such indebtedness shall be deemed to be secured by the Pledge Agreements and the other applicable Loan Documents.
(e)    Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to give Lender a copy of all material notices and communications transmitted between parties to the Parking Easement pursuant or relating to the Parking Easement. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to specifically notify Lender promptly in writing of the occurrence of any material default by any Easement Grantor under the Parking Easement, or the occurrence of any event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by Easement Grantor, and the receipt by Borrowers or Mortgage Borrowers of any notice (written or otherwise) from Easement Grantor, or the transmittal by Borrowers or Mortgage Borrowers of any notice (written or otherwise) to Easement Grantor, noting or claiming the occurrence of any default by any party under the Parking Easement, or the occurrence of any event that, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both, would constitute a default by either party to the Parking Easement. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any such written notice of default.
(f)    Within ten (10) days after receipt of written demand by Lender, Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to use reasonable efforts to obtain from Easement Grantor and furnish to Lender the estoppel certificate of Easement Grantor stating such facts as may be reasonably requested by Lender with respect to the Parking Easement, including whether or not there are any defaults by Easement Grantor or Tower Mortgage Borrower under the Parking Easement, and specifying the nature of such claimed defaults, if any.
(g)    Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lender such instruments as may reasonably be required to permit Lender to cure any default under the Parking Easement or permit Lender to take such other action required to enable Lender to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the security interest of Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to the Easement Parcel. Each Borrower irrevocably appoints, and shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to appoint, Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to do, in its name or otherwise, any and all acts and to execute any and all documents that are necessary to preserve any rights of such Borrower or Mortgage Borrower under or with respect to the Parking Easement, including the right to effectuate any extension or renewal of the Parking Easement, or to preserve any rights of such Borrower whatsoever in respect of any part of the Parking Easement (and the above powers granted to Lender are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable).

5.1.25    Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds as more particularly set forth in Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and to perform and comply with all the terms and provisions relating thereto. Borrowers grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in Borrowers’ interest in each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, if any, subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Lender, and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Mortgage Loan Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt to the extent Borrowers have an interest in same. Subject to the qualifications regarding Mortgage Lender’s interest in the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds, if any, until expended or applied in accordance with the Mortgage Loan Documents or the Loan Documents, Borrowers’ interest in the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
5.1.26    Notices. Borrower shall give notice, or cause notice to be given to Lender promptly upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and upon any and all the following:
(a)    any Default, Mortgage Default or Mortgage Event of Default;

(c)    any litigation or proceeding affecting any Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, affecting any Mortgage Borrower, any Principal or any Guarantor; and/or
(d)    a change in the business, operations, property or financial or other condition or prospects of any Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, any Mortgage Borrower, Principal or Guarantor which could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on any Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, the ability of Borrowers to perform under the Loan Documents, the ability of Mortgage Borrowers to perform under the Mortgage Loan Documents or the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents.

65






5.1.28    Curing. Lender shall have the right, but shall not have the obligation, to exercise each Borrower’s rights under the organization documents of the applicable Mortgage Borrower (a) to cure any Mortgage Default or any Mortgage Event of Default and (b) to satisfy any Liens, claims or judgments against the Properties (except for Liens permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents), in the case of either clause (a) or clause (b), unless the applicable Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be diligently pursuing remedies to cure the same to Lender’s sole satisfaction. Borrowers shall reimburse Lender on demand for any and all costs incurred by Lender in connection with curing any such Mortgage Default or Mortgage Event of Default or satisfying any Liens, claims or judgments against the Properties, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender until paid by Borrowers.
5.1.29    Compliance With Mortgage Loan Documents.
(a)    Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents. Borrowers acknowledge that the obligation to comply with this covenant is separate from, and may be enforced independently from, the obligations of Mortgage Borrowers under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrowers from any of the Obligations, if there shall occur and be continuing any Mortgage Event of Default, Borrowers hereby expressly agree that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrowers, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrowers and/or Mortgage Borrowers as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrowers to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising such rights (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (A) shall constitute additional advances of the Loan to Borrowers, (B) shall increase the then unpaid principal amount of the Loan by the amount of such sums, costs and expenses, (C) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such sums, costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, (D) shall constitute a portion of the Debt, and (E) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Lender shall have no obligation to Borrowers or any of their Affiliates or any other party to make

66






any such payment or performance. Borrowers shall not, and Borrowers shall not permit Mortgage Borrowers to, impede, interfere with, hinder or delay any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any Mortgage Event of Default or asserted Mortgage Event of Default, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a Mortgage Event of Default or asserted Mortgage Event of Default.
(d)    Any Mortgage Event of Default shall constitute an Event of Default, without regard to any subsequent payment or performance of any such obligations by Lender. Borrowers (on behalf of themselves and on behalf of Mortgage Borrowers) hereby grant Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Properties at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Mortgage Event of Default, or the assertion by Mortgage Lender that a Mortgage Event of Default has occurred, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Borrowers’ and/or Lender’s interest in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Mortgage Lender with respect to any Mortgage Default), without prior notice to or consent from Borrowers. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.
Section 5.2    Negative Covenants.

In addition, Borrowers shall not permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to cancel or otherwise forgive or release any material claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance with this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Documents) owed to any Mortgage Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary cause of such Mortgage Borrower’s business.

68






(a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Properties, or (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of the Properties 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 the Properties.

Neither Borrower shall change its principal place of business set forth in the introductory paragraph of this Agreement without first giving Lender at least thirty (30) days prior notice. No Borrower shall change the place of its organization as set forth in Section 4.1.28 hereof without the consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(a)    No Borrower shall engage in any transaction that would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b)    Each 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, that (i) such Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, which is subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) such Borrower is not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans; and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true:

(a)    Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrowers and their general partners, members, principals and (if any Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning the Collateral in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrowers’ ownership of the Collateral as a means of maintaining the value of the Collateral as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Additionally, Borrowers acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Mortgage Borrowers and their general partners, members, principals and (if any Mortgage Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners, as applicable, in owning and operating properties such as the Properties in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Mortgage Borrowers’ ownership of the Properties as a means of maintaining the value of the Properties and, therefore, indirectly, the value of the Collateral, as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Collateral and the Properties so as to ensure that, should Borrowers default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations contained in the Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Collateral.
(b)    Without the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth in this Section 5.2.10, Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant, bargain, encumber, pledge, assign, grant options with respect to, or otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, and whether or not for consideration or of record) the Collateral, the Properties or any part thereof or any legal or beneficial interest therein, or (ii) permit a Sale or Pledge of an interest in any Restricted Party (clause (i) and iii) above, collectively, a “Transfer”), other than pursuant to Leases of space in the Improvements to tenants in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.1.20 hereof.
(c)    A Transfer shall include, but not be limited to: (i) an installment sales agreement wherein any Borrower or Mortgage Borrower agrees to sell or convey the Collateral or the Properties, or any part thereof or any interest therein, for a price to be paid in installments; (ii) an agreement by any Borrowers or Mortgage Borrowers leasing all or substantially all of any Property for other than actual occupancy by a space tenant thereunder, or a sale, assignment or other transfer of, or the grant of a security interest in, any Mortgage Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any Leases or any Rents or any Vacant Space Rent; (iii) if a Restricted Party is a corporation, any merger, consolidation or Sale or Pledge of such corporation’s stock or the creation or issuance of new stock; (iv) if a Restricted Party is a limited or general partnership or joint venture, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a general partner or the Sale or Pledge of the partnership interest of any general partner or any profits or proceeds relating to such partnership interest, or the Sale or Pledge of limited partnership interests or any profits or proceeds relating to such limited partnership interest or the creation or issuance of new limited partnership interests; (v) if a Restricted Party is a limited liability company, any merger or consolidation or the change, removal, resignation or addition of a managing member or non-member manager (or if no managing member, any member) or the Sale or Pledge of the limited liability company interest of a managing member (or if no

7.1.1    Required Repair Funds. Borrower shall, or shall cause Mortgage Borrower to, perform the Required Repairs in accordance with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. In the event that the Required Repair Funds (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) are transferred to Lender pursuant to Section 7.7 of this Agreement and [Section 3.1(b)] of the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement, the amounts so transferred shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Required Repair Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Required Repair Account”.
Section 7.2    Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds.
(a)    Borrowers shall pay, or cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay, to Mortgage Lender (i)(A) on the Mortgage Loan Closing Date, an amount equal to $2,029,336.48 and (i)(B) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their delinquency date, and (ii)(A) on the Mortgage Loan Closing Date, an amount equal to $288,259.50 (the “Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Installment”) and (ii)(B) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment for the next occurring payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (ii)(C) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth (1/12th) of such Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies for an annual period 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 the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) being hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to an account held by Lender (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). The Tax and

78






Insurance Escrow Funds and the Monthly Interest Payment shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrowers to Lender. Provided no Event of Default shall exist, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, 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 Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Imsurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrowers. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the applicable Property and/or Properties. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Imsurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and Borrowers shall increase their monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall become part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 7.2. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrowers shall provide, at Borrowers’ expense, a tax service contract for the term of the Loan issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the term of the Loan.
(b) Borrowers shall be relieved of their obligations to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds under Section 7.2(a) above, provided that (i) Mortgage Borrowers are required to and do make monthly deposits to a tax and insurance escrow account under the Mortgage Loan Documents and (ii) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of all such Taxes and Insurance Premiums.

In addition, notwithstanding any limitations on the amount to be deposited in the Rollover Reserve Funds, Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to pay to Lender for deposit with Lender those additional funds described in Section 7.4.1(b) hereof All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Gas Company Trigger Event, Borrowers’ failure to deposit all Excess Cash Flow into the Gas Company Reserve Account shall constitute an Event of Default. If at any time during the term of the Loan after the occurrence of a Gas Company Trigger Event, a Gas Company Sweep Termination occurs, then provided no Event of Default exists, all amounts in the Gas Company Reserve Account will be released to Borrowers. Each subsequent time a Gas Company Trigger Event occurs during the term of the Loan, all Excess Cash Flow shall be deposited into the Gas Company Reserve Account as set forth above until, if ever, a Gas

7.5.2    Disbursement of Gas Company Reserve Funds. If any portion of the Gas Company Space (or, if no Rollover Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, any other portion of the Tower Parcel) is demised to a tenant approved by Lender in its sole discretion pursuant to a Lease approved by Lender in its sole discretion, then the funds in the Gas Company Reserve Account shall be made available by Lender for Approved Leasing Expenses incurred by Tower Borrower with respect to such tenant.

For so long as Rollover Reserve Funds are on deposit with Lender, requests for disbursements to pay Approved Leasing Expenses for space

83






other than the Gas Company Space shall be made as disbursements of Rollover Reserve Funds, and not as disbursement of Gas Company Reserve Funds.

All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its sole discretion.

Lender may require an inspection of the premises demised to Sidley Austin at the Tower Parcel at Borrowers’ expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of the improvements for which the “Refurbishment Allowance” reimbursement is sought.
7.6.3    Waiver of Sidley Austin Reserve Funds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall be relieved of their obligation to make deposits or cause Mortgage Borrowers to make deposits of Sidley Austin Reserve Funds under this Section 7.6, provided that (i) Mortgage Borrowers are required to and do make or have previously made (A) a deposit in the amount set forth above with respect to the Mortgage Loan Closing Date and (B) monthly deposits in the amount set forth above, in each instance to a Sidley Austin Reserve Funds reserve account under the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits.
Section 7.7    Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a)     Borrowers grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each reserve account as additional security for payment and performance of the Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. 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 reduction of the Debt in any order in its discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
(b)     Borrowers shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Funds or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(c)     The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest or other earnings on any of the Reserve Funds (with the

85






exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, which shall belong to Lender) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies comprising such Reserve Funds. Borrowers shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments, provided that (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds). No other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.7. Borrowers shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrowers promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
(d)    Borrowers, jointly and severally, hereby agree to indemnify Lender and hold Lender 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. Borrowers shall assign to Lender all rights and claims any Borrower may have against all Persons 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.


Section 7.8    Transfer of Reserve Funds Under Mortgage Loan. If Mortgage Lender waives any reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement which reserves or escrow accounts are also required in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, or if the Mortgage Loan is refinanced or paid off in full (without a prepayment of the Loan) and Reserve Funds that are required hereunder are not required under the new mortgage loan, if any, then Borrowers shall cause any amounts that would have been deposited into any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be transferred to and deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article VII (and Borrowers shall enter into a cash management and lockbox agreement for the benefit of Lender substantially similar to the arrangement entered into between Mortgage Borrowers and Mortgage Lender at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan), and, if any letters of credit have been substituted by Mortgage Borrowers for any such reserves or escrows as may be specifically permitted by the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then Borrowers shall also cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Lender to be held by Lender upon the same terms and provisions as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 8.2    Remedies.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers 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 of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine, 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, Borrowers agree that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law (i) Lender shall not be 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 Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b)    With respect to Borrowers and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreements then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the Outstanding Principal Balance as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
(c)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrowers 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. Borrowers hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoint Lender as their true and lawful attorney,

90






coupled with an interest, in their name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrowers ratifying all that their said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrowers by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) 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 Borrowers only as of the Closing Date.


(d)    Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender determines.


(e)    Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrowers and without releasing Borrowers from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrowers hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Borrowers shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to permit Lender to enter upon the Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Properties for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.2, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.


(f)    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 Borrowers 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. 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 Borrowers shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrowers or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon

91






(g)    For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section 8.2, each Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this Section in the name and on behalf of such Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

Section 9.2    Securitization Indemnification.
(a)     Borrowers understand 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 and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrowers 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 (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents regarding the Properties, the

94






Collateral, Mortgage Borrowers, Borrowers, Principal, Manager and/or the Loan (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), and (B) that the Covered Disclosure Information does 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, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person” and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “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 contained in any of the Disclosure Documents, but only to the extent based upon Provided Information, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have had an opportunity to review the Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
(c)    In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, 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 Provided Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrowers after Borrowers have had an opportunity to review such Exchange Act Filing, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to

95






be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. 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 consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned 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 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 proceeding. As long as an Indemnifying 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, conditioned 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

96






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 (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
(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. The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
(h)     The rights liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.
(i)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrowers shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.
Section 9.3    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 9.4    Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers (or any of Borrowers’ members, managers partners shareholders, officers, directors or Affiliates, whether direct or indirect, collectively, the “Borrower Parties”) to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreements or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against either Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreements and the other Loan Documents, or in any or all of the Collateral or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Pledge Agreements and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrowers or the Borrower Parties only to the extent of Borrowers’ or the Borrower Parties’ interest in the

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 any 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.

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, any commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, and by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section 10.6):

105






Section 10.10    Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrowers make 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. Borrowers hereby expressly waive, and 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 Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.
Section 10.12    Remedies of Borrowers. 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, Borrowers agree that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers’ 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.
(a)    Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) 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 Borrowers (including any opinions reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to either Property or the Collateral); (ii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers’ ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrowers’ respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on their part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, 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; (iv) except as expressly provided under the terms of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and any other documents or

106






matters requested by Lender; (v) securing the compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by each Borrower; (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, any in response to third party claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting either or both Borrowers, either or both Mortgage Borrowers, this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, either Property, the Collateral, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrowers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to any Property or the Collateral 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; provided, however, that Borrowers 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 or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to either Property or the Collateral. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Mezzanine Cash Management Account.
(b)    Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender 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 the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by either Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by either 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 Borrowers shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender or its agents or which arise by reason of acts that first occur after Lender or its designee has taken title to either Property or the Collateral. 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, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that they are permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c)    Borrowers jointly and severally covenant and agree to pay for or, if Borrowers fail to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with 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.

107






Section 10.14    Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits 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 either Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by either 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 each Borrower.
Section 10.16    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of Borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of secured party, pledgee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrowers 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 (or any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if Lender determines it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17    Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by either Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or to any of its Affiliates, shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender. Nothing in this Section 10.17 shall prevent either Borrower or Lender from disclosing any information otherwise deemed confidential under this Section 10.17 in connection any Legal Requirements or any statutory reporting requirement applicable to either Borrower or Lender.
Section 10.18    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of such Borrower, such Borrower’s partners or members and others with interests in such Borrower, and of the Collateral, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Pledge Agreements, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws

108






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 Collateral 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 Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19    Waiver of Counterclaims. Each 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. Borrowers acknowledge that, with respect to the Loan, Borrowers shall rely solely on their 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 Borrowers, and Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive 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. Borrowers acknowledge 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 businesses of Borrowers or their Affiliates.
Section 10.21    Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrowers hereby represent that they have dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrowers hereby agree 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 Borrowers 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, including the “Loan Application and Conditional Commitment Agreement” dated July 29, 2005, between Maguire Properties, L.P. and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

109






Section 10.23    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 Borrowers’ management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrowers; 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 (which may be given verbally);
(b)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of each Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice (which may be given verbally);
(c)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including 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 either Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day-to-day operation of the Collateral).


The rights described above in this Section 10.23 may be exercised by any entity which owns and Controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.
Section 10.24    Duplicate Originals, Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
Section 10.25    Joint and Several Liability. The representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrowers hereunder are joint and several.
Section 10.26    Intercreditor Agreement. Borrowers hereby acknowledge and agree that any intercreditor agreement entered into between Lender and Mortgage Lender, will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender, that no Borrower or Mortgage Borrower shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions therein, and that Borrowers and Mortgage Borrowers shall have no rights thereunder and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrowers the contents of the intercreditor agreement. Borrowers’ obligations hereunder are and will be independent of such intercreditor agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.

(f)    If Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Mezzanine Lender, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Mezzanine Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Pledgor to Mezzanine Lender on demand and shall constitute obligations secured hereby.


8.    Events of Default and Remedies.


(a)    The occurrence of any of the events identified in the Loan Agreement or elsewhere in the other Loan Documents as an “Event of Default” shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder.


(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Mezzanine Lender may:


(i)     exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Mezzanine Lender were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such rights);


(ii)     make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;


(iii)     in its discretion, in its name or in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, direct payment of or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but Mezzanine Lender shall be under no obligation to do so; and


(iv)     without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii) above, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby) to or upon Pledgor, Tower Mortgage Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices, or other defenses, are hereby waived to the extent permitted under applicable law), forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any

13






exchange, broker’s board or office of Mezzanine Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Mezzanine Lender may deem advisable and at such prices as Mezzanine Lender may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk; provided, however, that Mezzanine Lender shall provide Pledgor with not less than ten (10) days written notice prior to conducting any public or private sale of the Collateral, and Pledgor hereby agrees and stipulates that such notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice in satisfaction of the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code. Mezzanine Lender shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. Mezzanine Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Pledgor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released. Mezzanine Lender shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Mezzanine Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Mezzanine Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Mezzanine Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Mezzanine Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Mezzanine Lender arising out of the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any of its rights hereunder.


(c)    The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, privileges and remedies available to Mezzanine Lender at law or in equity. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of Mezzanine Lender hereunder.


9.    Private Sales.


(a)    Pledgor recognizes that Mezzanine Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Mezzanine Lender than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. Mezzanine Lender shall be under no obligation

14






to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit Tower Mortgage Borrower or Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Tower Mortgage Borrower or Pledgor would agree to do so.
(b)    Pledgor further shall use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 9 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to Mezzanine Lender, that Mezzanine Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.


(c)    Mezzanine Lender shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value or that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Mezzanine Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Mezzanine Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree.


(d)    The Uniform Commercial Code states that Mezzanine Lender is able to purchase the Pledged Equity only if it is sold at a public sale. Mezzanine Lender has advised Pledgor that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Uniform Commercial Code permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether Mezzanine Lender has complied with its obligations under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, Pledgor specifically agrees (i) that it shall not raise any objection to Mezzanine Lender’s purchase of the Pledged Equity (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise), and (ii) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the aforementioned No-Action Letters (A) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code; (B) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Mezzanine Lender has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Equity under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor or Tower Mortgage Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (C) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Mezzanine Lender purchases the Pledged Equity at such a sale.


(e)    Pledgor agrees that Mezzanine Lender shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Equity sold by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Mezzanine Lender, may, in its sole discretion,



15






among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Mezzanine Lender’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale and hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale:
(i)    Mezzanine Lender conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of
New York;
(ii)    The foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York;
(iii)    Not less than ten (10) days in advance of the foreclosure sale, Mezzanine Lender notifies Pledgor at the addresses set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale;
(iv)    The foreclosure sale is conducted by an auctioneer licensed in the State of New York and is conducted in front of the New York Supreme Court located in New York City, New York or such other New York State Court in the City and County of New York having jurisdiction over the Collateral on any Business Day between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.;
(v)    The notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (or such other newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) and the Wilmington News Journal (or such other daily newspaper widely circulated in the State of Delaware) for seven (7) consecutive days prior to the date of the foreclosure sale; and
(vi)    Mezzanine Lender sends notification of the foreclosure sale to all secured parties identified as a result of a search of the UCC financings statements filed in the filing offices located in the States of Delaware and New York conducted not later than twenty (20) days and not earlier than thirty (30) days before such notification date.
10.     Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. Mezzanine Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Mezzanine Lender deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither Mezzanine Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.
11.     Financing Statements; Other Documents. On the date hereof, Pledgor hereby authorizes Mezzanine Lender to file UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral. Pledgor agrees to deliver any other document or instrument which Mezzanine Lender may reasonably request with respect to the Collateral for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

16






12.    Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, by Mezzanine Lender hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of Mezzanine Lender or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Mezzanine Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.


13.    Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Mezzanine Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which Mezzanine Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including, without limitation:


(a)    to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;


(b)    to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;


(c)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Mezzanine Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the perfection and/or collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Mezzanine Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; and


(d)    to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.


If so requested by Mezzanine Lender, Pledgor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to Mezzanine Lender at Pledgor’s expense all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance or transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.


14.    Additional Covenants of Pledgor Relating to Affirmative Covenants of Tower Mortgage Borrower.

(h)    Pledgor shall not, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Mezzanine Lender, waive, alter, amend, modify, supplement or change in any way, or release, subordinate, terminate or cancel in whole or in part, or give any consent to do any of the foregoing under, any of the instruments, documents, policies or agreements constituting the

-9-






Collateral (including, without limitation, the Garage Mortgage Borrower Organizational Documents) or any of the rights or interests of Pledgor as party, holder, mortgagee or beneficiary thereunder. Pledgor agrees that all rights to do any and all of the foregoing have been assigned to Mezzanine Lender, but Pledgor agrees that, upon request from Mezzanine Lender from time to time, Pledgor shall do any of the foregoing or shall join Mezzanine Lender in doing so or shall confirm the right of Mezzanine Lender to do so and shall execute such instruments and undertake such actions as Mezzanine Lender may reasonably request in connection therewith.


(i)    Pledgor shall not, without the prior written consent of Mezzanine Lender, make any election, compromise, adjustment or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral.
(j)    Pledgor shall promptly give to Mezzanine Lender notice of all pending legal or arbitration proceedings, and of all proceedings pending by or before any Governmental Authority, affecting Pledgor or Garage Mortgage Borrower.


(k)    Pledgor hereby authorizes Mezzanine Lender to: (i) subject to the terms and provisions of Section 5 hereof, perform any and all other acts which Mezzanine Lender in good faith deems necessary for the protection and preservation of the Collateral or its value or Mezzanine Lender’s security interest therein, including, without limitation, transferring, registering or arranging for the transfer or registration of the Collateral to or in Mezzanine Lender’s own name and receiving the income therefrom as additional security for the Obligations, and (ii) pay any charges or expenses which Mezzanine Lender deems necessary for the foregoing purpose, but without any obligation on the part of Mezzanine Lender to do so (and any amounts so paid shall constitute an advance by Mezzanine Lender to Pledgor and shall be payable by Pledgor within ten (10) days after written demand together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date expended by Mezzanine Lender until paid). If any of the Pledged Membership Interests ever become certificated, then upon delivery of the certificated Pledged Membership Interests to Mezzanine Lender, Pledgor authorizes Mezzanine Lender to store, deposit and safeguard such certificated Pledged Membership Interests. Any obligation of Mezzanine Lender for the reasonable care of any of the Collateral in Mezzanine Lender’s possession shall be limited to the same degree of care that Mezzanine Lender uses for similar property pledged to Mezzanine Lender by other Persons.


(1) Pledgor waives (i) all rights to require Mezzanine Lender to proceed against any other Person, entity or collateral or to exercise any remedy set forth herein or in any other agreement, (ii) the defense of the statute of limitations in any action upon any of the Obligations, (iii) any right of subrogation or interest in the Obligations or Collateral until all Obligations have been paid in full, (iv) any rights to notice of any kind or nature whatsoever, unless specifically required in this Agreement or non-waivable under any applicable law, and (v) if any of the Pledged Membership Interests become certificated, to the extent permissible, its rights under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Pledgor agrees that the Collateral, other collateral or any other guarantor or endorser may be released, substituted or added with respect to the Obligations, in whole or in part, without releasing or otherwise affecting the liability of Pledgor, the pledge and security interests granted hereunder, or this Agreement. Mezzanine Lender is entitled to all of the benefits of a secured party set forth in Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

-10-






5.    Certain Understandings of Parties; Registration of Pledge; Control of Collateral, Etc.


(a)    The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of the Pledged Membership Interests do and will provide that they shall constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. The Pledged Membership Interests are not and shall not be evidenced by certificates.


(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, to better assure the perfection of the security interest of Mezzanine Lender in the Pledged Membership Interests, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Pledgor shall deliver to Mezzanine Lender the Control Agreement attached hereto, executed by each issuer of the Pledged Membership Interests (an “Issuer”), pursuant to which the Issuer will confirm that it has registered the pledge effected by this Agreement on its books and agrees to comply with the instructions of Mezzanine Lender in respect of the Pledged Membership Interests without further consent of Pledgor or any other Person. From time to time, Pledgor shall promptly cause such Issuer to, and such Issuer shall, deliver to Mezzanine Lender a Control Agreement to each assignee or collateral assignee of Mezzanine Lender, as reasonably requested by Mezzanine Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this paragraph, the Control Agreement shall not be construed as expanding the rights of Mezzanine Lender to give instructions with respect to the Collateral beyond such rights set forth in this Agreement.


6.    Cash Dividends; Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement, and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be permitted to receive all distributions or cash dividends allocable to the Pledged Equity paid in the normal course of business of Garage Mortgage Borrower and to exercise all voting and other member or shareholder rights with respect to the Pledged Equity, provided that no vote shall be cast or right exercised or other action taken which, in Mezzanine Lender’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Loan Agreement, the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any vote that would result in a change in or violation of the Independent Managers provisions, the Special Purpose Entity provisions or any related provisions of the Loan Agreement shall be void ab initio. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such powers, rights and remedies permitted Pledgor above shall cease.


7.    Rights of Mezzanine Lender.


(a)    If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, Mezzanine Lender shall have the right to receive any and all income, cash dividends, distributions, proceeds or other property received or paid in respect of the Collateral and make application thereof to the Obligations, in such order as Mezzanine Lender, in its sole discretion, may elect, in accordance

-11-






with the Loan Documents. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then all Pledged Equity, at Mezzanine Lender’s option, shall be registered in the name of Mezzanine Lender or its nominee (if not already so registered), and Mezzanine Lender or its nominee may thereafter exercise (i) all voting and other member or shareholder rights with respect to the Pledged Equity and (ii) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to the Pledged Equity as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in the organizational structure of Garage Mortgage Borrower, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or Mezzanine Lender of any right, privilege or option pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as Mezzanine Lender may determine), all without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but Mezzanine Lender shall have no duty to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.


(b)    The rights of Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by Mezzanine Lender of any right or remedy against Pledgor or against any other Person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Obligations or against any other security therefor, guarantee thereof or right of offset with respect thereto. Mezzanine Lender shall not be liable for any failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so, nor shall Mezzanine Lender be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof.


(c)    Upon satisfaction in full of the Obligations and payment of all amounts owed on the Note, Mezzanine Lender’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate and Mezzanine Lender shall execute and deliver to Pledgor UCC-3 termination statements or similar documents and agreements reasonably requested by Pledgor to terminate all of Mezzanine Lender’s rights under this Agreement.


(d)    Pledgor authorizes Mezzanine Lender, at any time and from time to time, to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 8 or Section 9 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.


(e)    The powers conferred on Mezzanine Lender hereunder are solely to protect Mezzanine Lender’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Mezzanine Lender to exercise any such powers. Mezzanine Lender shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither Mezzanine Lender nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Pledgor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.

-12-






(f)    If Pledgor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein and Mezzanine Lender, as provided for by the terms of this Agreement, shall itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of Mezzanine Lender incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest at the Default Rate, shall be payable by Pledgor to Mezzanine Lender on demand and shall constitute obligations secured hereby.


8.    Events of Default and Remedies.


(a)    The occurrence of any of the events identified in the Loan Agreement or elsewhere in the other Loan Documents as an “Event of Default” shall be an “Event of Default” hereunder.


(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Mezzanine Lender may:


(i)     exercise all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (whether or not the Uniform Commercial Code is in effect in the jurisdiction where the rights and remedies are asserted) and such additional rights and remedies to which a secured party is entitled under the laws in effect in any jurisdiction where any rights and remedies hereunder may be asserted, including, without limitation, the right, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Collateral as if Mezzanine Lender were the sole and absolute owner thereof (and Pledgor agrees to take all such action as may be appropriate to give effect to such rights);


(ii)     make any reasonable compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to any of the Collateral and may extend the time of payment, arrange for payment in installments, or otherwise modify the terms of, any of the Collateral;
(iii)     in its discretion, in its name or in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect, direct payment of or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but Mezzanine Lender shall be under no obligation to do so; and


(iv)     without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (iii) above, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below or otherwise required hereby) to or upon Pledgor, Garage Mortgage Borrower or any other Person (all and each of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices, or other defenses, are hereby waived to the extent permitted under applicable law), forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or forthwith sell, assign, give option or options to purchase or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, in the over-the-counter market, at any

-13-






exchange, broker’s board or office of Mezzanine Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as Mezzanine Lender may deem advisable and at such prices as Mezzanine Lender may deem best in its sole discretion, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk; provided, however, that Mezzanine Lender shall provide Pledgor with not less than ten (10) days written notice prior to conducting any public or private sale of the Collateral, and Pledgor hereby agrees and stipulates that such notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice in satisfaction of the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code. Mezzanine Lender shall have the right, without notice or publication, to adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for such sale, and any such sale may be made at any time or place to which the same may be adjourned without further notice. Mezzanine Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of Pledgor, which right or equity of redemption is hereby waived and released. Mezzanine Lender shall apply any Proceeds from time to time held by it and the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Mezzanine Lender hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Mezzanine Lender may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Mezzanine Lender of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without limitation, Sections 9-610 and 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Mezzanine Lender account for the surplus, if any, to Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Pledgor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Mezzanine Lender arising out of the exercise by Mezzanine Lender of any of its rights hereunder.


(c)    The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of Mezzanine Lender under this Agreement are cumulative and shall be in addition to all rights, powers, privileges and remedies available to Mezzanine Lender at law or in equity. All such rights, powers and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently without impairing the rights of Mezzanine Lender hereunder.


9.    Private Sales.


(a) Pledgor recognizes that Mezzanine Lender may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all of the Pledged Equity by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable to Mezzanine Lender than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonable manner solely by virtue of being a private sale. Mezzanine Lender shall be under no obligation

-14-






to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Equity for the period of time necessary to permit Garage Mortgage Borrower or Pledgor to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Garage Mortgage Borrower or Pledgor would agree to do so.


(b)    Pledgor further shall use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity pursuant to this Section 9 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other requirements of applicable law. Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 9 will cause irreparable injury to Mezzanine Lender, that Mezzanine Lender has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 9 shall be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants.


(c)    Mezzanine Lender shall not incur any liability as a result of the sale of any Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, it being agreed that some or all of the Collateral is or may be of one or more types that threaten to decline speedily in value or that are not customarily sold in a recognized market. Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Mezzanine Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which any of the Collateral may have been sold at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Obligations, even if Mezzanine Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer any Collateral to more than one offeree.


(d)    The Uniform Commercial Code states that Mezzanine Lender is able to purchase the Pledged Equity only if it is sold at a public sale. Mezzanine Lender has advised Pledgor that SEC staff personnel have issued various No-Action Letters describing procedures which, in the view of the SEC staff, permit a foreclosure sale of securities to occur in a manner that is public for purposes of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code, yet not public for purposes of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Uniform Commercial Code permits Pledgor to agree on the standards for determining whether Mezzanine Lender has complied with its obligations under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. Pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code, Pledgor specifically agrees (i) that it shall not raise any objection to Mezzanine Lender’s purchase of the Pledged Equity (through bidding on the obligations or otherwise), and (ii) that a foreclosure sale conducted in conformity with the principles set forth in the aforementioned No-Action Letters (A) shall be considered to be a “public” sale for purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code; (B) will be considered commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Mezzanine Lender has not registered or sought to register the Pledged Equity under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under applicable state securities laws, even if Pledgor or Garage Mortgage Borrower agrees to pay all costs of the registration process; and (C) shall be considered to be commercially reasonable notwithstanding that Mezzanine Lender purchases the Pledged Equity at such a sale.


(e)    Pledgor agrees that Mezzanine Lender shall not have any general duty or obligation to make any effort to obtain or pay any particular price for any Pledged Equity sold by Mezzanine Lender pursuant to this Agreement. Mezzanine Lender, may, in its sole discretion,

-15-






among other things, accept the first offer received, or decide to approach or not to approach any potential purchasers. Without in any way limiting Mezzanine Lender’s right to conduct a foreclosure sale in any manner which is considered commercially reasonable, Pledgor hereby agrees that any foreclosure sale conducted in accordance with the following provisions shall be considered a commercially reasonable sale and hereby irrevocably waives any right to contest any such sale:
(i) Mezzanine Lender conducts the foreclosure sale in the State of New York;
(ii)    The foreclosure sale is conducted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York;
(iii)    Not less than ten (10) days in advance of the foreclosure sale, Mezzanine Lender notifies Pledgor at the addresses set forth herein of the time and place of such foreclosure sale;
(iv)    The foreclosure sale is conducted by an auctioneer licensed in the State of New York and is conducted in front of the New York Supreme Court located in New York City, New York or such other New York State Court in the City and County of New York having jurisdiction over the Collateral on any Business Day between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.;
(v)    The notice of the date, time and location of the foreclosure sale is published in the New York Times or The Wall Street Journal (or such other newspaper widely circulated in New York, New York) and the Wilmington News Journal (or such other daily newspaper widely circulated in the State of Delaware) for seven (7) consecutive days prior to the date of the foreclosure sale; and
(vi)    Mezzanine Lender sends notification of the foreclosure sale to all secured parties identified as a result of a search of the UCC financings statements filed in the filing offices located in the States of Delaware and New York conducted not later than twenty (20) days and not earlier than thirty (30) days before such notification date.
10.     Limitation on Duties Regarding Collateral. Mezzanine Lender’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Mezzanine Lender deals with similar securities and property for its own account. Neither Mezzanine Lender nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of Pledgor or otherwise.
11.     Financing Statements; Other Documents. On the date hereof, Pledgor hereby authorizes Mezzanine Lender to file UCC-1 financing statements with respect to the Collateral. Pledgor agrees to deliver any other document or instrument which Mezzanine Lender may reasonably request with respect to the Collateral for the purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Agreement and of the rights and powers herein granted.

-16-






12.    Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Upon any sale of the Collateral, or any portion thereof, by Mezzanine Lender hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt of Mezzanine Lender or the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Mezzanine Lender or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.


13.    Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to Mezzanine Lender, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Mezzanine Lender is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Pledgor, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments which Mezzanine Lender may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including, without limitation:


(a)    to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral;


(b)    to receive, endorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper in connection with clause (a) above;


(c)    to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that Mezzanine Lender may deem necessary or desirable for the perfection and/or collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Mezzanine Lender with respect to any of the Collateral; and


(d)    to execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 8 and Section 9 hereof, any endorsement, assignments, or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.


If so requested by Mezzanine Lender, Pledgor shall ratify and confirm any such sale or transfer by executing and delivering to Mezzanine Lender at Pledgor’s expense all proper deeds, bills of sale, instruments of assignment, conveyance or transfer and releases as may be designated in any such request.


14.    Additional Covenants of Pledgor Relating to Affirmative Covenants of Garage Mortgage Borrower. Pledgor covenants and agrees with Mezzanine Lender that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations (exclusive of any indemnification or other obligations which are expressly stated in any of the Loan Documents to survive satisfaction of the Note) are paid and performed in full, Pledgor shall take, and/or shall cause Garage Mortgage Borrower to take, any and all actions either necessary or reasonably requested by Mezzanine Lender to ensure complete compliance with Section 5.1 of the Loan Agreement, and Pledgor shall cause Garage Mortgage Borrower (i) to take such actions as are required by or to comply with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents, in each case, applicable to Garage Mortgage Borrower, and not to take any actions that violate any such documents, and (ii) not to

18.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of Mezzanine Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.

(d)    Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns.

Section 8.2.    Lender’s Right to Perform Borrowers’    Obligations;    No Liability of Lender. If either Borrower fails to perform any of the covenants or obligations contained herein, and such failure shall continue for a period five (5) Business Days after Borrowers’ receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, Lender may itself perform, or cause performance of, such covenants or obligations, and the reasonable expenses of Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender. Notwithstanding Lender’s right to perform certain obligations of Borrowers, it is acknowledged and agreed that Borrowers retain control of the Properties and operation thereof and notwithstanding anything contained herein or Agent’s or Lender’s exercise of any of its rights or remedies hereunder, under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or in equity, except as may be provided under applicable law, neither Agent nor Lender shall be deemed to be a mortgagee-in-possession nor shall Lender be subject to any liability with respect to either Property or otherwise based upon any claim of lender liability.

Except as may be provided under applicable law, every right and remedy granted to Agent and/or Lender hereunder or by law may be exercised by Agent and/or Lender at any time and from time to time, and as often as Agent and/or Lender may deem it expedient. Any and all of Agent’s and/or Lender’s rights with respect to the lien and security interest granted hereunder shall continue unimpaired, and Borrowers shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) any proceeding of either Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization laws or statutes of any state, (b) the release or substitution of Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein, or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by Agent and/or Lender in the event of any default, with respect to the Collateral or otherwise hereunder. No delay or extension of time by Agent and/or Lender in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no notice or demand which may be given to or made upon either Borrower by Agent and/or Lender, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice Agent’s and/or Lender’s right, without notice or demand, to take any action against either Borrower or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.


Section 8.4.    Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and Borrowers shall pay (except as expressly provided herein or expressly provided in the Loan Agreement) to Agent and Lender and/or Agent’s and Lender’s counsel on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and transfer, recording and filing fees, taxes and other charges) of, or incidental to, the creation or perfection of any lien or security interest granted or intended to be granted hereby, the custody, care, sale, transfer, administration, collection of or realization on the Collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of Agent and/or Lender under this Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreements or the other Loan Documents.

(v)    any Legal Requirement (including RICO) mandating the forfeiture by either Mortgage Borrower or either Borrower of either Property or the Collateral, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by either Mortgage Borrower, either Borrower or any Restricted Party in connection therewith;


(vi)    any material misrepresentation, miscertification or breach of warranty by either Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to any representation, warranty or certification contained in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any document executed in connection therewith, pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or otherwise to induce Lender to make the Loan, or any advance thereof, or to release monies from any account held by Lender (including any reserve or escrow) or to take other action with respect to the Collateral;

(x)    if either Borrower or either Mortgage Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of either Property, fails to provide financial information specifically required by the Loan Agreement or fails to appoint a new Manager upon the request of Lender, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents;

(v)    if either Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer as required by the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document.


1.3    Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Obligations may be increased or reduced shall not release or discharge the obligation of Guarantor to Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty may be enforced by Lender and any subsequent holder of the Note and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Note.


1.4    Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder, shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense

5






(other than a defense based upon the actual payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations sought to be enforced) of either Borrower, or any other party, against Lender or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.


1.5    Payment By Guarantor. If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid when due, whether at demand, maturity, acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, within five (5) Business Days after written demand by Lender, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Lender at Lender’s address as set forth herein. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.


1.6    No Duty To Pursue Others. It shall not be necessary for Lender (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Lender), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (a) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against either Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (b) enforce Lender’s rights against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, (c) enforce Lender’s rights against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, (d) join either Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (e) exhaust any remedies available to Lender against any collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan, or (f) resort to any other means of obtaining payment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Lender shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Guaranteed Obligations.


1.7    Waivers. Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and hereby waives notice of: (a) any loans or advances made by Lender to either Borrower; (b) acceptance of this Guaranty; (c) any amendment or extension of the Note, the Loan Agreement or of any other Loan Documents; (d) the execution and delivery by either Borrower and Lender of any other loan or credit agreement or of either or both Borrowers’ execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with the Collateral; (e) the occurrence of any breach by either Borrower under any of the Loan Documents or an Event of Default; (f) Lender’s transfer or disposition of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof; (g) sale or foreclosure (or posting or advertising for sale or foreclosure) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) protest, proof of non-payment or default by either Borrower; and (i) any other action at any time taken or omitted by Lender, and, generally, all demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the Loan Documents, any documents or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and/or the obligations hereby guaranteed.


1.8    Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within five (5) Business Days after

6






written demand by Lender, pay Lender all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Lender’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section 1.8 shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.


1.9    Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Lender must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Lender in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Lender shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of each Borrower and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.


1.10    Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, releases and abrogates any and all rights it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of Lender), to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from either Borrower or any other party liable for payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations for any payment made by Guarantor under or in connection with this Guaranty or otherwise until ninety one (91) days after Lender has received payment in full of the Obligations.


1.11    Borrowers. The term “Borrower” and “Borrowers” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of either Borrower or any interest in either Borrower. All uses of the phrase “either Property” shall mean “any one or more of the Properties, including both of the Properties,” unless the context shall indicate otherwise; and all uses of the phrase “either Borrower”, “either of the Borrowers”, “any Borrower” or “any of the Borrowers” shall mean “any one or more of the Borrowers, including both Borrowers,” unless the context shall indicate otherwise. Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined.

7






2.1    Modifications. Any renewal, extension, increase, modification, alteration or rearrangement of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Note, either Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument, contract or understanding among Borrowers and Lender, or any other parties, pertaining to the Guaranteed Obligations or any failure of Lender to notify Guarantor of any such action.

2.4    Invalidity of Guaranteed Obligations. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any document or agreement executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason whatsoever, including without limitation the fact that (a) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, exceed the amount permitted by law, (b) the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof is ultra vires, (c) the officers or representatives executing the Note, either Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or otherwise creating the Guaranteed Obligations acted in excess of their authority, (d) the Guaranteed Obligations violate applicable usury laws, (e) either Borrower has valid defenses, claims or offsets (whether at law, in equity or by agreement) (other than a defense based upon the actual payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations sought to be enforced), which render the Guaranteed Obligations wholly or partially uncollectible from either Borrower, (f) the creation, performance or repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations (or the execution, delivery and performance of any document or instrument representing part of the Guaranteed Obligations or executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations, or given to secure the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations) is illegal, uncollectible or unenforceable, or (g) the Note, either Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents have been forged or otherwise are irregular or not genuine or authentic, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless of whether either Borrower or any other Person is found not liable on the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof for any reason.


2.5    Release of Obligors. Any full or partial release of the liability of either Borrower on the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, or of any co-guarantors, or any other Person now or hereafter liable, whether directly or indirectly, jointly, severally, or jointly and severally, to pay, perform, guarantee or assure the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, it being recognized, acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor may be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support of any other party, and Guarantor has not been induced to enter into this Guaranty on the basis of a contemplation, belief, understanding or agreement that other Persons will be liable to pay or

8






perform the Guaranteed Obligations, or that Lender will look to other Persons to pay or perform the Guaranteed Obligations.


2.6    Other Collateral. The taking or accepting of any other security, collateral or guaranty, or other assurance of payment, for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.


2.7    Release of Collateral.

2.8    Care and Diligence. The failure of Lender or any other party to exercise diligence or reasonable care in the preservation, protection, enforcement, sale or other handling or treatment of all or any part of such collateral, property or security, including but not limited to any neglect, delay, omission, failure or refusal of Lender (a) to take or prosecute any action for the collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or (b) to foreclose, or initiate any action to foreclose, or, once commenced, prosecute to completion any action to foreclose upon any security therefor, or (c) to take or prosecute any action in connection with any instrument or agreement evidencing or securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, other than any loss, damage liability or cost arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct following Lender’s taking title to the Collateral.


2.9    Unenforceability. The fact that any collateral, security, security interest or lien contemplated or intended to be given, created or granted as security for the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, shall not be properly perfected or created, or shall prove to be unenforceable or subordinate to any other security interest or lien, it being recognized and agreed by Guarantor that Guarantor is not entering into this Guaranty in reliance on, or in contemplation of the benefits of, the validity, enforceability, collectibility or value of any of the collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations.


2.10    Offset. The Note, the Guaranteed Obligations and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Lender hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released by reason of any existing or future right of offset, claim or defense (other than a defense based upon the actual payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations sought to be enforced) of either Borrower against Lender, or any other Person, or against payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such right of offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise.


2.11    Merger. The reorganization, merger or consolidation of either Borrower into or with any Person.


2.12    Preference. Any payment by either Borrower to Lender is held to constitute a preference under bankruptcy laws, or for any reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay such amount to either Borrower or someone else.


2.13    Other Actions Taken or Omitted. Any other action taken or omitted to be taken with respect to the Loan Documents, the Guaranteed Obligations, or the security and collateral

9






therefor, other than any loss, damage liability or cost arising from Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct following Lender’s taking title to the Collateral or any part thereof, whether or not such action or omission prejudices Guarantor or increases the likelihood that Guarantor will be required to pay the Guaranteed Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, it is the unambiguous and unequivocal intention of Guarantor that Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the Guaranteed Obligations when due, notwithstanding any occurrence, circumstance, event, action, or omission whatsoever, whether contemplated or uncontemplated, and whether or not otherwise or particularly described herein, which obligation shall be deemed satisfied only upon the full and final payment and satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations.
ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


To induce Lender to enter into the Loan Documents and extend credit to Borrowers, Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender as follows:


3.1    Benefit. Guarantor is an Affiliate of Tower Borrower and Garage Borrower, is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in Tower Borrower and Garage Borrower, and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.


3.2    Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of the Borrowers and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Note or Guaranteed Obligations; however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.


3.3    No Representation By Lender. Neither Lender nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.


3.4    Guarantor’s Financial Condition. As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligation evidenced hereby, Guarantor is, and will be, solvent, and has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities.


3.5    Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor. This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

10






3.6    Financial Statements. Any and all balance sheets, net worth statements and other financial data that have been given or may be given to Lender with respect to Guarantor did or will, at the time of such delivery, fairly and accurately present the financial condition of Guarantor.


3.7    Survival. All representations and warranties made by Guarantor herein shall survive the execution hereof.
ARTICLE 4
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS


4.1    Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of either Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of either Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor. The Guarantor Claims shall include without limitation all rights and claims of Guarantor against either Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from either Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.


4.2    Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Lender shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Lender. Should Lender receive, for application against the Guaranteed Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between either Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon payment to Lender in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Lender to the extent that such payments to Lender on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Obligations which would have been unpaid if Lender had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.


4.3    Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor shall receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which are prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Lender an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or

11






distributions so received except to pay such funds, payments, claims and/or distributions promptly to Lender, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Lender.


4.4    Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon either Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon such Borrower’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Until ninety one (91) days after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Guaranteed Obligations fully satisfied, without the prior written consent of Lender, Guarantor shall not (a) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against either Borrower, or (b) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of either Borrower held by Guarantor.


ARTICLE 5 
COVENANTS
5.1    Definitions. As used in this Article 5, the following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth below:


(a)    “GAAP” shall mean generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.


(b)    “Net Worth” shall mean, as of a given date, (i) the Guarantor’s total assets as of such date, less (ii) the Guarantor’s total liabilities as of such date, determined in accordance with GAAP.


5.2    Covenants. Until all of the Obligations and the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantor (a) shall maintain a Net Worth in excess of $225,000,000.00, and (b) shall deliver to Lender, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each calendar year, a complete copy of Guarantor’s personal financial statements prepared by a “Big Four” accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant acceptable to Lender, in a manner consistent with Guarantor’s personal financial statement delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof, including statements of income and expense and a balance sheet for Guarantor, together with a certificate of Guarantor (i) setting forth in reasonable detail Guarantor’s Net Worth as of the end of such prior calendar year and based on such personal financial statements, and (ii) certifying that such annual financial statements are true, correct, accurate and complete and fairly present the financial condition and results of the operations of Guarantor.


5.3    Prohibited Transactions. Guarantor shall not, at any time while a default in the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations has occurred and is continuing, enter into or effectuate any transaction with any Affiliate which would reduce the Net Worth of Guarantor below the minimum Net Worth set forth in Section 5.2 hereof

12






ARTICLE 6


CALIFORNIA SPECIFIC PROVISIONS


In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Article 6 and the other terms and conditions of this Guaranty, the terms and conditions of this Article 6 shall control and be binding.


6.1    General. Guarantor agrees that no action for the enforcement or recovery of damages under this Guaranty shall constitute an action within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) §726, which Section shall not apply to this Guaranty. No judgment against Guarantor in any action pursuant to this Guaranty shall constitute a money judgment or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of CCP §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726. This Section and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall survive, and remain in full force and effect after, the repayment or satisfaction of the Obligations, any release of the security interest with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or any foreclosure or other enforcement of the Loan Documents (whether by judicial action, exercise of the power of sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise), and Lender shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty after any such repayment, satisfaction, release or foreclosure. The remedies in this Guaranty are cumulative and in addition to all remedies provided by law.


6.2    General Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby (i) waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors and guarantors, and (ii) waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment or notice of any kind in connection with this Guaranty. Guarantor further waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, (a) any rights or defenses created by any anti-deficiency statutes applicable to the Loan; (b) any right to require Lender to marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust its recourse against either Borrower or any other obligated party or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or to pursue any other remedy before being entitled to payment from Guarantor or before proceeding against Guarantor for payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) the defense of the statute of limitation in any action hereunder or for the collection or the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) any defense that may arise by reason of the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Guarantor or any other Person; (e) any defense that may arise by reason of the unenforceability in whole or in part of the Loan Documents; (f) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim (and other than a defense based upon the actual payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations sought to be enforced), in any action or proceeding brought against or by Lender; and (g) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder; it being the intention hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal, to the extent set forth herein, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor.


6.3    Waiver of Defenses by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon:

13






(a)    the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of either Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person;


(b)    the failure of Lender to commence an action against either Borrower or any other guarantor (which term shall mean any other party at any time directly or contingently liable for any of such Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents) or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Lender at any time, or to pursue any other remedy whatsoever at any time;


(c)    any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor any facts Lender may now or hereafter know regarding either Borrower, including such Borrower’s financial condition, and all other circumstances affecting such Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations to Lender, regardless of whether Lender has reason to believe (i) that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or (ii) that such facts are unknown to Guarantor, Guarantor acknowledging that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the condition (financial or otherwise) and affairs of such Borrower;


(d)    lack of notice of default, demand of performance or notice of acceleration to either Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person hereunder or under any other Loan Document;


(e)    the consideration for this Guaranty;


(f)    the revocation or repudiation hereof by Guarantor or the revocation or repudiation of any of the Loan Documents by either Borrower or any other Person;


(g)    the invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of the Loan Documents or of any manner in which Lender has exercised its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, or by any cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of either Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor;


(h)    any acts or omissions of Lender which vary, increase or decrease the risk on Guarantor;


(i)    any rights or defenses based upon an offset by Guarantor against any obligation now or hereafter owed to Guarantor by either Borrower;


(j)    any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, the liability of either Borrower or any other guarantor under the Loan Documents, or the enforcement hereof, to the extent permitted by law;


(k)    the application by either Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by such Borrower to Lender and/or Guarantor or intended or understood by Lender or Guarantor;


(1)    an election of remedies by Lender, including any election to proceed against any collateral by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure, whether real property or personal property, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable, or any election of remedies, including, but not limited to, remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation

14






rights of Guarantor or the rights of Guarantor to proceed against either Borrower or any other guarantor by way of subrogation or for reimbursement or contribution, or all such rights (including, without limitation, CCP Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726);


(m)    any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other aspects more burdensome than that of the principal obligor;


(n)    Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;


(o)    any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any action taken or omitted by Lender in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”) involving either Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor, including any election to have Lender’s claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by Lender to either Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor in any Insolvency Proceeding and the taking and holding by Lender of any security for any such extension of credit;


(p)    so long as any amount payable under the Loan is outstanding, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution and indemnity and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code (“Civil Code”) Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and any rights or claims of any kind or nature against either Borrower which arise out of or are caused by this Guaranty, and any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender now has or may hereafter have against either Borrower, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lender;


(q)    any right Guarantor might have to revoke this Guaranty as to any advances made by Lender to or on behalf of either Borrower or pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents; and


(r)    any other suretyship defense that might, but for the terms hereof, be available to Guarantor.


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor also hereby waives (A) any defense based upon Lender’s election to waive its lien as to all or any security for the Loan pursuant to CCP Section 726.5 or otherwise, and (B) any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 and any successor statutes.


6.4    Foreclosure. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all waivers of defenses arising from any impairment of Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and indemnification and waivers of any other rights, privileges, defenses or protections available to Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the Civil Code are intended by Guarantor to be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Section 2856 of the Civil Code and other applicable law. Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if Lender forecloses judicially or non judicially against any real property security for the Note, that foreclosure could

15






impair or destroy any ability that Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from either Borrower or others based on any right Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty and that Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder. Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this provision, the potential impairment or destruction of Guarantor’s rights, if any, might entitle Guarantor to assert a defense to this Guaranty based on CCP Section 580d, as interpreted in Union Bank vs. Gradsky. By way of explanation, and without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor understands that if Lender conducts a non judicial foreclosure sale with respect to any real property security for the Note, Guarantor would have a defense to a deficiency judgment under this Guaranty because the non judicial foreclosure would eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation. This defense arises, in part, because CCP Section 580d provides that a non judicial foreclosure sale under a deed of trust eliminates the right of the secured party to seek a deficiency judgment on an obligation secured by that deed of trust. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor freely, irrevocably and unconditionally:


(a)    waives and relinquishes that defense, and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty for any deficiency remaining, even though Lender may foreclose judicially or non judicially against any real property security for the Note and even though such foreclosure destroys Guarantor’s right of subrogation, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances;


(b)    agrees that Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding that Lender may commence to enforce this Guaranty;


(c)    notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, waives, until ninety one (91) days after Lender has received payment in full of the Obligations, any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against either Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, so long as any amount payable under the Loan is outstanding, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against either Borrower or any other guarantor or any collateral which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either Borrower or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights;


(d)    acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by Guarantor under this Guaranty include any right or defense that Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of the following: (i) CCP Sections 580a (which if Guarantor had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Guarantor’s liability after any non judicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations for which Guarantor is liable and the fair market value of the property or interests sold at such non judicial foreclosure

16






sale rather than the actual proceeds of such sale), 580b and 580d (which, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Lender’s right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after any non judicial foreclosure sale, respectively), and/or 726 (which, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require Lender to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment could be obtained for a deficiency); and/or (ii) Civil Code Section 2848;


(e)    acknowledges and agrees that Lender is relying on this waiver in making the Loan, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration that Lender is receiving for making the Loan;


(f)    to the extent that Guarantor’s waivers of the rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution as set forth herein are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, agrees that Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against either Borrower, and Guarantor’s right of contribution against any other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to Lender’s rights against such Borrower or such other guarantor; and


(g)    WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE SECTION 2856(c), WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT SUCH GUARANTOR HAS BECAUSE BORROWERS’ DEBT IS SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY. THIS MEANS, AMONG OTHER THINGS:


(A)    LENDER MAY COLLECT FROM ANY GUARANTOR WITHOUT FIRST FORECLOSING ON ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY EITHER BORROWER; AND


(B)    IF LENDER FORECLOSES ON ANY REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY EITHER BORROWER: (A) THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS MAY BE REDUCED ONLY BY THE PRICE FOR WHICH THAT COLLATERAL IS SOLD AT THE FORECLOSURE SALE, EVEN IF THE COLLATERAL IS WORTH MORE THAN THE SALE PRICE; AND (B) LENDER MAY COLLECT FROM ANY GUARANTOR, EVEN IF LENDER, BY FORECLOSING ON THE REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL, HAS DESTROYED ANY RIGHT ANY GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO COLLECT FROM SUCH BORROWER.


6.5    THIS IS AN UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES GUARANTOR MAY HAVE BECAUSE BORROWERS’ DEBT IS SECURED BY AN INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY. THESE RIGHTS AND DEFENSES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RIGHTS OR DEFENSES BASED UPON CCP SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d OR 726.

The obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors under this Agreement shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure under either Pledge Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the liabilities and obligations of Indemnitors hereunder shall not apply to the extent that Indemnitors can prove that such liabilities and obligations arose solely from Hazardous Substances that: (a) were not present on or a threat to either Property prior to the date that Indemnitee or its nominee acquired title to such Property, whether by foreclosure, exercise of power of sale or otherwise; and (b) were not the result of any act or negligence of any Indemnitor or any Indemnitor’s affiliate, agent or contractor.


10.     Interest. Any amounts payable to any Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall become immediately due and payable on demand and, if not paid within thirty (30) days of such demand therefor, shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) the Default Rate or (b) the Maximum Legal Rate which Indemnitors may by law pay or Indemnified Parties may charge and collect, from the date payment was due, provided that the foregoing shall be subject to the provisions of Article 4 of the Note.


11.     Waivers. (a) Each Indemnitor hereby waives: (i) any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of such Indemnitor’s assets or to cause Indelmnitee or other Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against such Indemnitor; (ii) and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation which any Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights, including, without limitation, any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iii) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Indelmnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iv) notice of acceptance hereof and of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon; (v) presentment for payment, demand of payment, protest or notice of nonpayment or failure to perform or observe,

9






or other proof, or notice or demand; and (vi) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder and the benefits of any statutes of limitations or repose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Indemnitor hereby agrees to postpone the exercise of any rights of subrogation with respect to any collateral securing the Loan until the Loan shall have been paid in full.


(b)    EACH INDEMNITOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.


12.     Subrogation. Each Indemnitor shall take any and all reasonable actions, including institution of Legal Action against third parties, necessary or appropriate to obtain reimbursement, payment or compensation from such Persons responsible for the presence of any Hazardous Substances at, in, on, under or near either Property or otherwise obligated by law to bear the cost. Indemnified Parties shall be and hereby are subrogated to all of Indemnitors’ rights now or hereafter in such claims to the extent that an Indemnified Party has incurred the applicable cost or expense.


13.    Indemnitors’ Representations and Warranties. Each Indemnitor represents and warrants that:


(a)    (i) it has the full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Indemnitor has been duly and validly authorized, and (iii) all requisite action has been taken by such Indemnitor to make this Agreement valid and binding upon such Indemnitor, enforceable in accordance with its terms;


(b)    its execution of, and compliance with, this Agreement is in the ordinary course of business of such Indemnitor and will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter, by-laws, partnership, operating or trust agreement, or other governing instrument of such Indemnitor or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or’ constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which such Indemnitor, the Collateral or either Property is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which such Indemnitor, the Collateral or either Property is subject;


(c)    to the best of such Indemnitor’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against it which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of such Indemnitor, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of such Indemnitor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of such Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of such

10






Indemnitor contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of such Indemnitor to perform under the terms of this Agreement;
(d)    it does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement;
(e)    to the best of such Indemnitor’s knowledge, no approval, authorization, order, license or consent of, or registration or filing with, any Governmental Authority or other Person, and no approval, authorization or consent of any other Person, is required in connection with this Agreement; and
(f)    this Agreement constitutes a valid, legal and binding obligation of such Indemnitor, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms hereof.
14.    No Waiver. No delay by any Indemnified Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right.
15.     Notice of Legal Actions. Each party hereto shall, within five (5) Business Days of receipt thereof, give written notice to the other parties hereto of (a) any notice, advice or other communication from any Governmental Authority or any source whatsoever with respect to Hazardous Substances on, from or affecting either Property, and (b) any Legal Action brought against such party or related to either Property, with respect to which Indemnitors may have liability under this Agreement. Such notice shall comply with the provisions of Section 19 hereof.
16.     Examination of Books and Records. The Indemnified Parties and their accountants and other representatives shall have the right to examine the records, books, and management and other papers of any Indemnitor which reflect upon its respective financial condition, at either or both of the Properties or at the office regularly maintained by such Indemnitor where the books and records are located. The Indemnified Parties and their accountants and other representatives shall have the right to make copies and extracts from the foregoing records and other papers. In addition, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, the Indemnified Parties and their accountants and other representatives shall have the right to examine and audit the books and records of each Indemnitor pertaining to the income, expenses and operation of either Property during reasonable business hours at the office of such Indemnitor where the books and records are located.

Indemnitee may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Note, the Loan Agreement, the Pledge Agreements (or either of them), this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue Securities. Indemnitee may forward to each Investor and prospective Investor, all documents and information which Indemnitee now has or may hereafter acquire relating to each Indemnitor and the Properties, whether furnished by such Indemnitor, any other guarantor or otherwise, as Indemnitee determines necessary or desirable. Each Indemnitor agrees to cooperate with Indemnitee in connection with any transfer made or Securities issued pursuant to this Section, including, without limitation, the delivery of an estoppel certificate required in accordance with the Loan Agreement and such other documents as may be reasonably requested

11






by Indemnitee. Indemnitors shall also furnish, and each Indemnitor hereby consents to Indemnitee furnishing to such Investors or such prospective Investors, any and all information concerning the financial condition of such Indemnitor and any guarantor and any and all information concerning the Properties and the Leases as may be requested by Indemnitee, any Investor or any prospective Investor in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest.


18.     Taxes. Each Indemnitor has filed all federal, state, county, municipal, and city income and other tax returns required to have been filed by it and has paid all taxes and related liabilities which have become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments received by it. No Indemnitor has knowledge of any basis for any additional assessment in respect of any such taxes and related liabilities for prior years.

Any party may change the address to which any such Notice is to be delivered, by furnishing ten (10) days written notice of such change to the other parties in accordance with the provisions of this Section 19. Notices shall be deemed to have been given on the date they are actually received; provided, however, that the inability to deliver Notices because of a changed address of which no Notice was given, or rejection or refusal to accept any Notice offered for delivery, shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept delivery. Notice for any party may be given by its respective counsel. Additionally, Notice from Indemnitee may also be given by Servicer.


20.     Duplicate Originals; Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed an original instrument and all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement. The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.


21.     No Oral Change. This Agreement, and any provisions hereof, may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally or by any act or failure to act on the part of any Indemnitor or any Indemnified Party, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

12






22.     Headings, Etc. The headings and captions of various paragraphs of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be construed as defining or limiting, in any way, the scope or intent of the provisions hereof.


23.     Number and Gender/Properties/Successors and Assigns. All pronouns and any variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person or persons referred to may require. Without limiting the effect of specific references in any provision of this Agreement, the term “Indemnitor” shall be deemed to refer to each and every Person comprising an Indemnitor from time to time, as the sense of a particular provision may require, and to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of such Indemnitor, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement, provided that no obligation of any Indemnitor may be assigned except with the written consent of Indemnitee. As used in this Agreement, the phrase “either Property” shall mean “one or both of the Properties”, as applicable. Each reference herein to Indemnitee shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Indemnified Parties and their respective successors and assigns forever. The Indemnified Parties shall have the right to assign or transfer their rights under this Agreement in connection with any assignment of the Loan and the Loan Documents. Any assignee or transferee of any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded to any Indemnified Party under this Agreement. No Indemnitor shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Indemnitee, as provided in the Loan Agreement, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.


24.    Release of Liability. Any one or more parties liable upon or in respect of this Agreement may be released without affecting the liability of any party not so released.


25.     Rights Cumulative. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Indemnitee has under the Note, either Pledge Agreement, the Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents or would otherwise have at law or in equity.


26.     Inapplicable Provisions. If any term, condition or covenant of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such provision.


27.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 10.3 of the Loan Agreement and the following:


ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST INDEMNITEE OR ANY INDEMNITOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY, AT INDEMNITEE’S OPTION, BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW, AND EACH INDEMNITOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTIONS WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE BASED ON VENUE AND/OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR

13






PROCEEDING, AND EACH INDEMNITOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH INDEMNITOR DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT:


Corporation Trust Company 
111 Eighth Avenue 
New York, New York 10011


AS ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT TO ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON SAID AGENT AT SAID ADDRESS AND NOTICE OF SAID SERVICE MAILED OR DELIVERED TO SUCH INDEMNITOR IN THE MANNER PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED IN EVERY RESPECT EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON SUCH INDEMNITOR IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH INDEMNITOR (I) SHALL GIVE PROMPT NOTICE TO INDEMNITEE OF ANY CHANGED ADDRESS OF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT HEREUNDER, (II) MAY AT ANY TIME AND FROM TIME TO TIME DESIGNATE A SUBSTITUTE AUTHORIZED AGENT WITH AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK (WHICH SUBSTITUTE AGENT AND OFFICE SHALL BE DESIGNATED AS THE PERSON AND ADDRESS FOR SERVICE OF PROCESS AND WHICH SUBSTITUTE AGENT SHALL AT ALL TIMES BE THE SAME AGENT AS AUTHORIZED BY BORROWERS UNDER THE LOAN AGREEMENT), AND (III) SHALL PROMPTLY DESIGNATE SUCH A SUBSTITUTE IF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT CEASES TO HAVE AN OFFICE IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR IS DISSOLVED WITHOUT LEAVING A SUCCESSOR.


28.     Miscellaneous. (a) Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (i) Indemnitee exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove any matter, (ii) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Indemnitee, or (iii) any other decision or determination is to be made by Indemnitee, the decision of Indemnitee to approve or disapprove such matter, all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory and all other decisions and determinations made by Indemnitee, shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Indemnitee and shall be final and conclusive, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein.


(b)    Wherever pursuant to this Agreement it is provided that Indemnitors pay any costs and expenses, such costs and expenses shall include, but not be limited to, legal fees and disbursements of Indemnitee, whether retained firms, the reimbursements for the expenses of the in-house staff or otherwise.


29.    Joint and Several Liability. The obligations and liabilities of Indemnitors hereunder shall be joint and several.

14






30.    State Specific Provisions. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Section 30 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Section 30 shall control and be binding.


(a)    Guarantor agrees that no action for the enforcement or recovery of damages under this Agreement shall constitute an action within the meaning of California Code of Civil Procedure (“CCP”) §726, which Section shall not apply to this Agreement. No judgment against Guarantor in any action pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a money judgment or a deficiency judgment within the meaning of CCP §§ 580a, 580b, 580d or 726. This Section and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall survive, and remain in full force and effect after, the repayment or satisfaction of the Obligations, any reconveyance of either Property or the Collateral or any foreclosure or other enforcement of the Loan Documents (whether by judicial action, exercise of the power of sale, deed in lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise), and Indemnitee shall have the right to enforce this Agreement after any such repayment, satisfaction, reconveyance or foreclosure. This Agreement shall not affect, impair or waive any rights or remedies of Indemnitee or any obligations of Guarantor with respect to any Environmental Laws (including Indemnitee’s rights of reimbursement or contribution under any Environmental Laws). The remedies in this Agreement are cumulative and in addition to all remedies provided by law. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be “environmental provisions” pursuant to CCP §§ 726.5 and 736.


(b)    Guarantor hereby (i) waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to indemnitors and guarantors, and (ii) waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment or notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement. Guarantor further waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, (A) any rights or defenses created by any anti-deficiency statutes applicable to the Loan; (B) any right to require Indemnitee to marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust its recourse against Borrowers or any other obligated party or any security for the Losses or to pursue any other remedy before being entitled to payment from Guarantor or before proceeding against Guarantor for payment and performance of the Losses; (C) the defense of the statute of limitation in any action hereunder or for the collection or the performance of the Losses; (D) any defense that may arise by reason of the failure of Indemnitee to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person; (E) any defense that may arise by reason of the unenforceability in whole or in part of the Loan Documents; (F) the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Indemnitee; and (G) all homestead exemption rights against the obligations hereunder; it being the intention hereof that Guarantor shall remain liable as principal, to the extent set forth herein, notwithstanding any act, omission or thing which might otherwise operate as a legal or equitable discharge of Guarantor.


(c)    Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon:


(i)    the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of either
Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person;

15






(ii)    the failure of Indemnitee to commence an action against any Borrower or any other guarantor (which term shall mean any other party at any time directly or contingently liable for either Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents) or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Indemnitee at any time, or to pursue any other remedy whatsoever at any time;
(iii)    any duty on the part of Indemnitee to disclose to Guarantor any facts Indemnitee may now or hereafter know regarding either Borrower or any other Person, including either Borrower’s financial condition, and all other circumstances affecting either Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations to Indemnitee, regardless of whether Indemnitee has reason to believe (A) that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which Guarantor intends to assume, or (B) that such facts are unknown to Guarantor, Guarantor acknowledging that it is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the condition (financial or otherwise) and affairs of each Borrower;
(iv)    lack of notice of default, demand of performance or notice of acceleration to Guarantor or any other Person hereunder or under any other Loan Document;
(v)    the consideration for this Agreement;
(vi)    the revocation or repudiation hereof by Guarantor or the revocation or repudiation of any of the Loan Documents by either Borrower or any other Person;
(vii)    the invalidity or unenforceability in whole or in part of the Loan Documents or of any manner in which Indemnitee has exercised its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, or by any cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of either Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor;
(viii)    any acts or omissions of Indemnitee which vary, increase or decrease the risk on Guarantor;
(ix)    any rights or defenses based upon an offset by Guarantor against any obligation now or hereafter owed to Guarantor by either Borrower;
(x)    any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder, the liability of either Borrower or any other guarantor under the Loan Documents, or the enforcement hereof, to the extent permitted by law;
(xi)    the application by Borrowers of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by either Borrower to Indemnitee or intended or understood by Indemnitee or Guarantor;
(xii)    an election of remedies by Indemnitee, including any election to proceed against any collateral by judicial or non judicial foreclosure, whether real property or personal property, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable, or any election of remedies, including, but not limited to, remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of Guarantor or the rights of Guarantor to proceed

16






against either Borrower or any other Person by way of subrogation or for reimbursement or contribution (including, without limitation, CCP Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726);


(xiii)    any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other aspects more burdensome than that of the principal obligor;


(xiv)    Indemnitee’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;


(xv)    any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any action taken or omitted by Indemnitee in any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding (each, an “Insolvency Proceeding”) involving either Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor, including any election to have Indemnitee’s claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by Indemnitee to either Borrower, Guarantor or any other guarantor in any Insolvency Proceeding and the taking and holding by Indemnitee of any security for any such extension of credit;


(xvi)    any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution and indemnity and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code (“Civil Code”) Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, and any rights or claims of any kind or nature against either Borrower which arise out of or are caused by this Agreement, and any rights to enforce any remedy which Indemnitee now has or may hereafter have against either Borrower, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Indemnitee;


(xvii)    any right Guarantor might have to revoke this Agreement as to any advances made by Indemnitee to or on behalf of either Borrower or pursuant to the terms of any of the Loan Documents; and


(xviii)    any other suretyship defense that might, but for the terms hereof, be available to Guarantor.


Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor also hereby waives (A) any defense based upon Indemnitee’s election to waive its lien as to all or any security for the Loan pursuant to CCP Section 726.5 or otherwise, and (B) any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 and any successor statutes.


(d)    Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that all waivers of defenses arising from any impairment of Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution and indemnification and waivers of any other rights, privileges, defenses or protections available to Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the Civil Code are intended by Guarantor to be effective to the maximum extent permitted by Section 2856 of the Civil Code and other applicable law. Guarantor understands and acknowledges that if Indemnitee forecloses judicially or non judicially against any real property security for the Note, that foreclosure could

17






impair or destroy any ability that Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from others based on any right Guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amounts paid by Guarantor under this Agreement and that Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally non-reimbursable liability hereunder. Guarantor further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this provision, the potential impairment or destruction of Guarantor’s rights, if any, might entitle Guarantor to assert a defense to this Agreement based on CCP Section 580d, as interpreted in Union Bank vs. Gradsky. By way of explanation, and without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement, Guarantor understands that if Indemnitee conducts a non-judicial foreclosure sale with respect to any real property security for the Note, Guarantor would have a defense to a deficiency judgment under this Agreement because the non judicial foreclosure would eliminate Guarantor’s right of subrogation. This defense arises, in part, because CCP Section 580d provides that a non judicial foreclosure sale under a deed of trust eliminates the right of the secured party to seek a deficiency judgment on an obligation secured by that deed of trust. By executing this Agreement, Guarantor freely, irrevocably and unconditionally:


(i)    waives and relinquishes that defense, and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this Agreement for any deficiency remaining, even though Indemnitee may foreclose judicially or non judicially against any real property security for the Note and even though such foreclosure destroys Guarantor’s right of subrogation, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantor that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances;


(ii)    agrees that Guarantor will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding that Indemnitee may commence to enforce this Agreement;


(iii)    notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, waives any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against either Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Indemnitee against either Borrower or any other guarantor or any collateral which Indemnitee now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from either Borrower or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights;


(iv)    acknowledges and agrees that the rights and defenses waived by Guarantor under this Agreement include any right or defense that Guarantor may have or be entitled to assert based upon or arising out of any one or more of the following: (A) CCP Sections 580a (which, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Guarantor’s liability after any non judicial foreclosure sale to the difference between the obligations for which Guarantor is liable and the fair market value of the property or

18






interests sold at such non judicial foreclosure sale rather than the actual proceeds of such sale), 580b and 580d (which, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, would otherwise limit Indemnitee’s right to recover a deficiency judgment with respect to purchase money obligations and after any non judicial foreclosure sale, respectively), and/or 726 (which, if Guarantor had not given this waiver, among other things, would otherwise require Indemnitee to exhaust all of its security before a personal judgment could be obtained for a deficiency); and/or (B) Civil Code Section 2848;


(v)    acknowledges and agrees that Indemnitee is relying on this waiver in making the Loan, and that this waiver is a material part of the consideration that Indemnitee is receiving for making the Loan;


(vi)    to the extent that Guarantor’s waivers of the rights of subrogation, reimbursement or contribution as set forth herein are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, agrees that its rights of subrogation and reimbursement and its right of contribution against either Borrower or any other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to Indemnitee’s rights against either Borrower and any such other guarantor; and


(vii)    WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, PURSUANT TO CIVIL CODE SECTION 2856(c), WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT GUARANTOR HAS BECAUSE BORROWERS’ DEBT IS SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY. THIS MEANS, AMONG OTHER THINGS:


(A)    INDEMNITEE MAY COLLECT FROM GUARANTOR WITHOUT FIRST FORECLOSING ON ANY REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY EITHER BORROWER; AND


(B)    IF INDEMNITEE FORECLOSES ON ANY REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY EITHER BORROWER: (1) THE AMOUNT OF THE OBLIGATIONS MAY BE REDUCED ONLY BY THE PRICE FOR WHICH THAT COLLATERAL IS SOLD AT THE FORECLOSURE SALE, EVEN IF THE COLLATERAL IS WORTH MORE THAN THE SALE PRICE; AND (2) INDEMNITEE MAY COLLECT FROM GUARANTOR, EVEN IF INDEMNITEE, BY FORECLOSING ON THE REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL, HAS DESTROYED ANY RIGHT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO COLLECT FROM EITHER BORROWER.


THIS IS AN UNCONDITIONAL AND IRREVOCABLE WAIVER OF ANY RIGHTS AND DEFENSES THAT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE BECAUSE BORROWERS’ DEBT IS SECURED BY AN INTEREST IN REAL PROPERTY. THESE RIGHTS AND DEFENSES INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, ANY RIGHTS OR DEFENSES BASED UPON CCP SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d OR 726.


GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS AND DEFENSES ARISING OUT OF AN ELECTION OF REMEDIES BY INDEMNITEE, EVEN THOUGH THAT ELECTION OF REMEDIES, SUCH AS A NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE WITH RESPECT TO

19






SECURITY FOR BORROWERS’ OBLIGATIONS, HAS DESTROYED GUARANTOR’S RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION AND REIMBURSEMENT AGAINST THE PRINCIPAL BY OPERATION OF SECTION 580D OF THE CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR OTHERWISE.

Manager agrees that it will act in conformity with the provisions of this Assignment, the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Loan Agreement and Lender’s rights hereunder or otherwise related to the Garage Management Agreement.
