GUARANTEE
THIS GUARANTEE, dated as of October 11, 2020 (the “Guarantee”) is made by Sound United, LLC (the “Guarantor”) in favor of Harman International Industries, Incorporated (“Harman”).

WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Harman and B&W Group Ltd. (“B&W”) entered into that certain License Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2014, pursuant to which B&W licenses certain of its intellectual property to Harman (as amended from time to time, the “License Agreement”);
WHEREAS, the Guarantor has (indirectly) acquired B&W, including, without limitation, all the B&W business and assets (the “Transaction”), which assets include all of B&W’s continuing rights and obligations under the License Agreement;
WHEREAS, B&W and Harman have entered into the Amendment No 1 to License Agreement dated as of the date hereof (“Amendment No 1”);
WHEREAS, as an inducement to Harman entering into Amendment No 1, the Guarantor has agreed to make this Guarantee;
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement (as amended by Amendment No 1), B&W has certain contingent obligations to repay the amount of the Total Royalty Credit (as defined in Amendment No 1) that remains outstanding at such time (having taken into account all amounts set-off against the Total Royalty Credit pursuant to the License Agreement) as is provided for in clauses 4.2 and 11.3 of the License Agreement (as amended by Amendment No 1) (the “Obligation”).
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1.Capitalized terms used bat not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in Amendment No 1.

2.If B&W becomes subject to an Insolvency Event (as defined below), the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full payment in cash due and payable to Harman by B&W of the Obligation, if and only to the extent that (and only up to a maximum of) any Total Royalty Credit amount remains outstanding (having taken into account all amounts set-off against the Total Royalty Credit pursuant to the License Agreement (as amended by Amendment No 1) and any repayments of the Total Royalty Credit by B&W) at the date the Insolvency Event is initiated (the “Guaranteed Amount”).

3.For the purposes of this Guarantee, Insolvency Event shall mean; (i) B&W ceases carrying on business or otherwise enters into voluntary liquidation; (ii) B&W enters into administration under Schedule B1 of the Insolvency Act 1986 (United Kingdom); (iii) Bowers enters into any arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors (including any company voluntary arrangement under Part 1 Insolvency Act 1986 (United Kingdom)); (iv) a winding up petition is presented (unless such petition is subsequently dismissed) or a meeting is convened to pass a resolution for the winding up of B&W; (v) B&W enters into an arrangement and reconstruction pursuant to Part 26A of the Companies Act 2006 (a restructuring plan); (vi) an application is made to strike off or dissolve B&W under Part 31 Companies Act 2006; (vii) or any event analogous to any of (i) to (vii) herein occurs in any jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, a case or proceeding under Title 11 Chapter 11 of Title 11, United States Code, U.S.C.§ 101 et seq. or any other bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law of the United States, provided that where any such event detailed in (i) to (vii) herein is initiated by a person other than B&W, the Guarantor or any member of their group, it shall only be deemed an Insolvency Event to the extent it has not been dismissed within or is otherwise continuing 45 days following it being so initiated.

4.When (i) B&W has become subject to an Insolvency Event; and (ii) any portion or the entire then outstanding balance of the Obligation becomes due and payable and B&W fails to fully and punctually pay and perform the Obligation, Harman may make demand upon the Guarantor for the payment or 
1

performance of the Guaranteed Amount and the Guarantor binds and obliges itself to make such payment or performance forthwith to Harman upon such demand, subject to Harman providing the Guarantor with such information that the Guarantor may request so as to enable the Guarantor to determine the outstanding balance of the Total Royalty Credit (if any) that represents the Guaranteed Amount at the relevant date.  The Guarantor shall pay the Guaranteed Amount by check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds.  Solely for purposes of clarity, Harman has no obligation to first pursue recovery of any portion of the Obligation against B&W, including but not limited to, through a claims process or similar process applicable to an Insolvency Event proceeding prior to demanding and receiving payment from the Guarantor.

5.In the event that, after a demand for payment has been made to the Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor fails to pay the Guaranteed Amount in full, the Guarantor shall be liable for the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by Harman, as applicable, in any proceeding brought to enforce this Guarantee against the Guarantor.

6.This Guarantee is an absolute, unconditional, continuing guarantee of payment and performance and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to collect from Harman, enforce performance by Harman or on any other condition or contingency.  Except as set forth herein, the obligations and agreements of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be performed and observed without requiring any notice of acceptance hereof, non-payment, non-performance, protest or non-observance by B&W or any proof thereof or demand therefor, all of which the Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent legally permitted to do so.

7.The failure (by waiver, delay, consent, or otherwise) of any beneficiary of this Guarantee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guarantee will not in any manner vary or reduce the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.  No amendment or waiver of any provision hereof will be effective against Harman unless such amendment or waiver is consented to in writing by Harman.  Any payments made to Harman of the relevant Obligation or Guaranteed Amount, as applicable, shall relieve B&W and the Guarantor of the relevant Obligation and Guaranteed Amount, as applicable, solely to the extent of such payments.

8.The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof to Harman that: (a) this Guarantee has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid and biding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles, and (b) the Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee (i) do not and will not violate any provisions of any law, rule regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to or binding on the Guarantor or the property of the Guarantor, (ii) do not contravene or result in any breach of, or constitute any default under, any agreement or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor or the properties of the Guarantor may be bound or affected and (iii) do not and will not require the consent of any person or entity under any existing law or agreement which consent has not already been obtained.

9.This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of such time as any of the following occurs and upon the occurrence of which t is Guarantee shall terminate and the Guarantor shall no longer be bound by its obligation and covenants under this Guarantee:
(i)the Obligation has been satisfied and/or the Guaranteed Amount is paid; and/or
(ii)the outstanding balance of the Total Royalty Credit under Amendment No 1 has reduced to [...***...]
2

10.Upon any direct or indirect sale or transfer of either the entire issued share capital of B&W and/or all or substantially all of the business and assets of B&W (other than when such sale or transfer is to another entity within the Guarantor’s group and under the common control of the Guarantor) if Harman is provided with a guarantee of a new parent company of B&W, which provides Harman (in its determination, acting reasonably and in consultation with the Guarantor) with no worse protection than this Guarantee, Harman shall accept that new guarantee and agree to this Guarantee’s termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, the obligations and covenants of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be performed and observed notwithstanding a sale or transfer of either the entire issued share capital of B&W and/or all or substantially all of the business and assets of B&W when such sale or transfer is to another entity within the Guarantor’s group and under the common control of the Guarantor.

11.This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.  This Guarantee is entered into for the sole and exclusive benefit of Harman, and their successors and assigns permitted under the License Agreement, and no other persons or entities shall have any rights with respect thereto.

12.All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Guarantee shall be made pursuant to the Contingency Agreement.

2.6.2Application of Payments During Event of Default

34

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

Agent and/or Lender from or on behalf of Borrowers, and any funds held by Administrative Agent or Servicer pursuant to the terms of Article 3 or the other terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any funds held in any Account and the proceeds of any letter of credit held by Administrative Agent as security for the Secured Obligations) as Administrative Agent may elect against the Secured Obligations of Borrowers in such order of priority or in such allocations as Administrative Agent may determine.

For the purposes of this Section 2.7, no payment or prepayment under this Agreement shall be deemed to be received by Administrative Agent unless and until such payment or prepayment is available to Administrative Agent in the account designated by Administrative Agent for such payment or prepayment.

All payments made by Borrowers under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind and shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority.  Borrowers shall verbally verify all payment instructions before transmitting any payment or prepayment of funds by wire transfer or other means of payment.

2.8Usury Savings Clause

.  It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrowers and Administrative Agent at all times to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements governing the highest lawful interest rate.  If any applicable Legal Requirement is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Secured Obligations, or if acceleration of the maturity of the Notes, any prepayment by Borrowers, or any other circumstance whatsoever, results in Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by any applicable Legal Requirement, then it is the express intent of Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lender that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Administrative Agent and/or Lender be credited to the Principal Indebtedness (or, at Administrative Agent’s option, paid over to Borrowers), and the provisions of this Agreement and other Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with all applicable Legal Requirements, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder.  The right to accelerate maturity of the Notes does not include the right to accelerate any interest that has not otherwise accrued on the date of such acceleration, and Administrative Agent and Lender do not intend to collect any unearned interest in the event of acceleration.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent or Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Secured Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by applicable 

35

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of such Secured Obligations until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of such Secured Obligations does not exceed the maximum rate or amount of interest permitted under any Legal Requirements.

2.9Release of Collateral

.  Upon indefeasible payment and performance (in full) of all of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations, and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations (other than any such obligations that survive repayment of the Loan), Administrative Agent shall, at the request of Borrowers and at the sole cost and expense of Borrowers, release or cause to be released all Liens with respect to all Collateral (or, at Borrowers’ request, assign such Liens with respect to all or certain Collateral as Borrowers may request), in each case, pursuant to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

Once a proposed budget has been reviewed and approved by Administrative Agent, and Borrowers have made all reasonable revisions requested by Administrative Agent, if any, the revised budget shall be delivered to Administrative Agent and shall thereafter become the budget for the applicable Individual Property hereunder (the “Approved Budget”) for the applicable calendar year.  If Borrowers and Administrative Agent are unable to agree upon an Approved Budget for any calendar year (or portion thereof, as applicable), the Approved Budget for the applicable Individual Property for the preceding calendar year shall be considered the interim approved budget (the “Interim Budget”) for the applicable Individual Property for the subject calendar year (or portion thereof, as applicable) until 

41

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

Borrowers and Administrative Agent agree upon an Approved Budget for such calendar year (or portion thereof, as applicable); provided that the following adjustments shall be made to the previous calendar year’s Approved Budget for purposes of determining the Interim Budget for the current calendar year (or portion thereof) before Administrative Agent and Borrowers agree upon the Approved Budget for the current calendar year (or portion thereof):  (i) rent payable by Tenants pursuant to Leases shall be included in the Interim Budget in the amounts required from the Tenants pursuant to their Leases, (ii) property management fees shall be included in the Interim Budget in the same percentage of rents as in the previous year, (iii) extraordinary items such as, but not limited to, special assessments that do not require continuing payments shall be excluded, (iv) Non-Discretionary Expenses shall be included in the Interim Budget in the actual amounts incurred during the last calendar year (excluding any such Non-Discretionary Expenses incurred pursuant to clause (ii) of the definition thereof that do not require continuing payments), and (v) Capital Expenditures shall not be included in the Interim Budget except to the extent that Borrowers have previously committed to pay such Capital Expenditures (as verified by Administrative Agent) and Administrative Agent has previously approved such Capital Expenditures, or portions thereof, in writing.  In addition, notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Article 3, during any calendar year (or portion thereof) in which an Approved Budget is required hereunder, Borrowers shall not be entitled to receive any disbursements into the Borrowers’ Operating Account for any Borrower Funded Operating Shortfalls (whether from Cash Flow or from the Excess Cash Subaccount) until and unless Administrative Agent and Borrowers have agreed upon an Approved Budget (and not an Interim Budget) for each Individual Property for the then‐current calendar year (or portion thereof, as applicable).

B.Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate each Individual Property in accordance with the applicable Approved Budget or the applicable Interim Budget (as applicable) for the applicable calendar year (or portion thereof).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers are permitted to deviate from the Approved Budget or the Interim Budget (as applicable) to the extent necessary for Non-Discretionary Expenses or as otherwise approved in writing by Administrative Agent (such permitted deviations referred to as the “Permitted Operating Expense Deviations”).

3.9Administrative Agent’s DACA Conversion Option. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent reserves the right to convert the cash management structure set forth herein to a deposit-account-control-agreement-based structure, provided that the only events that shall trigger cash management under such structure shall be the Cash Management Events (such conversion, a “DACA Conversion”). Borrowers hereby agree to execute and deliver to Administrative Agent such other documents as Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with a DACA Conversion, which documents shall include, without limitation, (A) a deposit account control agreement, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, among Borrowers, Administrative Agent and an institution, selected by Borrowers and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent, acting as “bank” under such deposit account control agreement, and (B) such amendments, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as Administrative Agent shall deem necessary.

RESERVE ACCOUNTS

4.1Tax Reserve.

  From and after the earliest to occur of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) the Borrowers’ failure to pay any Property Imposition prior to the due date therefor and (iii) the occurrence of a Cash Management Event, on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrowers shall deposit with Administrative Agent an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount that Administrative Agent reasonably estimates will be required to pay the next annual payment of Property Impositions with respect to each Individual Property.  The purpose of these provisions is to provide Administrative Agent with sufficient funds on hand for Administrative Agent or Servicer to pay all Property Impositions with respect to each Individual Property thirty (30) days prior to the date that any such Property Impositions become past due.  If Administrative Agent determines that the funds deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder are, or will be, insufficient to pay such Property Impositions, then Borrowers shall, upon demand, pay (i) such additional sums as Administrative Agent shall reasonably determine necessary to pay such Property Impositions and (ii) any increased monthly charges reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.  Provided no Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent will apply the amounts so deposited with Administrative Agent to the payment of such Property Impositions when due, but in no event will Administrative Agent or Lender be liable for any interest on any amount so deposited, and any amount so deposited may be held and commingled with Administrative Agent’s, Lender’s or Servicer’s own funds. If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may apply such funds to the payment of any Property Impositions or the payment of any Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent shall elect or retain the same as security for the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent. 

4.2Insurance Reserve.

  From and after the earliest to occur of (i) the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) the Borrowers’ failure to pay any annual premiums for any Required Insurance Policy prior to the due date therefor and (iii) the occurrence of a Cash Management Event, on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrowers shall deposit an amount equal to 1/12th of the amount that Administrative Agent estimates will be required to pay the next required annual premium for each Required Insurance Policy.  The purpose of these provisions is to provide Administrative Agent with sufficient funds on hand for Administrative Agent or Servicer to pay all such premiums thirty (30) days prior to the date that such premiums become past due.  If Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, determines that the funds deposited with Administrative Agent hereunder are, or will be, insufficient to pay such premiums, then Borrowers shall, within ten (10) days following Borrowers’ receipt of written demand, pay (i) such additional sums as Administrative Agent shall determine as necessary to pay such premiums and (ii) any increased monthly charges requested by Administrative Agent.  Provided that no Event of Default exists and is continuing, Administrative Agent shall apply the amounts so deposited to the payment of such insurance premiums when due, but in no event will Administrative Agent be liable for any interest on any amounts so deposited, and the money so deposited may be held and commingled with Administrative Agent’s or Servicer’s own funds.  If an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may apply such funds to the payment of such insurance premiums, any of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and/or the Third Mortgage Secured 

43

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

Obligations in such order as Administrative Agent shall elect in its sole discretion or may retain the same as security for the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations, in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent.

Except for the liens, encumbrances and security interests granted to Administrative Agent and Lender hereunder and under the Loan Documents, no Borrower shall create or permit the creation of any lien, encumbrance of security interest in or to the Excess Foreclosure Proceeds Collateral during the term of the Loan for so long as such Excess Foreclosure Proceeds Collateral is held by Administrative Agent or Lender, or by Servicer as agent for Administrative Agent or Lender, hereunder.

4.4.4The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall not limit the rights of Administrative Agent or Lender in respect of the foreclosure of any or each of the Individual Properties. The provisions of this Section 4.4 expressly survive any foreclosure of any or each of the

5.1.3Investment of Funds

.  Each of the Deposit Account, the Excess Cash Subaccount, the TI/Leasing Commissions/Capital Improvement Reserve Account, the Excess Foreclosure Proceeds Reserve and any Capital Proceeds Account shall be (i) a federally insured, non-interest-bearing account (provided that no such Account shall be required to be one hundred percent (100%) federally insured), and (ii) a separate, segregated account (and the funds therein may not be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent or Servicer), but shall not constitute a trust fund for the Borrowers.

To the extent Administrative Agent’s security interest in any portion of the Account Collateral may be perfected by possession thereof, Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be in possession of the same by virtue of Servicer holding the Account Collateral as Administrative Agent’s agent and for Administrative Agent’s benefit in accordance with this Agreement.

.  Administrative Agent, Lender and Borrowers hereby acknowledge that upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against any Borrower under any Bankruptcy Laws, the Account Collateral (whether collected or uncollected, or then due or becoming due thereafter) shall not be deemed to be property of such Borrower’s bankruptcy estate within the meaning of Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code.  In the event, however, that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding the foregoing characterization of the Account Collateral by Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lender, the Account Collateral does constitute property of any Borrower’s bankruptcy estate, then Administrative Agent, Lender and Borrowers hereby further acknowledge that all such Account Collateral, whether due and payable before or after the filing of the petition, is, and shall be, cash collateral of Administrative Agent and Lender pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.  Borrowers acknowledge that Administrative Agent and Lender do not consent to Borrowers’ use of such Account Collateral (except to the extent expressly provided for in this Agreement or ordered by a United States bankruptcy court) and that, in the event Administrative Agent elects to give consent to such use, such consent shall only be effective if given in writing and if provided to Servicer.  Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, Borrowers shall have no right to use or apply or to require the use or application of such Account Collateral unless (i) Borrowers have received a court order authorizing the same and (ii) Borrowers have provided such adequate protection to Administrative Agent and Lender as required by the bankruptcy court.

If by reason of any Legal Requirement, any change or amendment thereto or in the interpretation or application thereof, any judicial decision adopted or rendered following the Closing Date, or any request or directive by any Governmental Authority, (i) any tax, assessment or similar charge is imposed against any of the Secured Obligations, any of the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), the Third Mortgages, Administrative Agent, Lender, or any interest of Administrative Agent or Lender in any Collateral, (ii) any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement is imposed on Administrative Agent or Lender or any of Administrative Agent’s or Lender’s Affiliates, (iii) the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of Lender’s or Administrative Agent’s obligations hereunder is reduced by any amount reasonably deemed by Administrative Agent to be material, or (iv) any other condition is imposed on Lender or Administrative Agent that increases the cost to Lender or Administrative Agent of making, renewing or maintaining the Loan or reduces any amount receivable by Administrative Agent and/or Lender hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrowers shall promptly pay Lender and/or Administrative Agent upon demand any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender and/or Administrative Agent for such 

63

For the avoidance of doubt, the funds required to be deposited with Administrative Agent under clause (iv) above shall be in addition to all Property Impositions (and all interest, penalties and other costs) that are not being contested, and will be released to Borrowers for payment of the Property Impositions following conclusion of the contest if no Event of Default exists.

E.Failure to Comply with Contest Requirements.  If Administrative Agent determines that any one or more of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1.3(D) is not satisfied or is no longer satisfied, then Borrowers shall pay the applicable Property Impositions in question not later than the date that is ten (10) days following the date that Administrative Agent provides written notice to Borrowers of such determination.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Borrowers may in good faith, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, terminate any Lease (other than a Lease to a Required Tenant) for nonpayment of rent or for any other material breach by the Tenant thereunder.  Borrowers shall deliver to Administrative Agent an executed copy of each Lease (including any amendment, supplement or modification thereof) not later than five (5) Business Days following the execution thereof.

If any proposed Lease that is consented to by Administrative Agent is not executed and delivered by both the applicable Borrower and the applicable Tenant thereunder on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the date that such Lease was consented to, then such consent of Administrative Agent shall expire automatically and without further notice, and Borrowers shall be required to resubmit such proposed Lease to Administrative Agent for consent.  If (I) Administrative Agent fails to respond to such written request for consent of a proposed Lease on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days following the date that Administrative Agent receives such request, all Lease Approval Deliveries and any additional information that Administrative Agent may reasonably require to evaluate such proposed Lease, and (II) Borrowers have delivered to Administrative Agent a second written request containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all caps letters “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED TO THE LEASE CONTAINED HEREIN IF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT FAILS TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST FOR CONSENT ON OR PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING THE DATE HEREOF,” then Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have consented to such Lease if Administrative Agent fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period; provided, 

76

however, that this deemed consent provision shall not apply to (a) any Lease to any Person that is an Affiliate of any Borrower, Guarantor, any other Borrower Owner Person or Property Manager or (b) any Lease that (by its terms) requires Administrative Agent and/or Lender to execute an SNDA.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any proposed Lease that is deemed to have been consented to by Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence is not executed and delivered by both the applicable Borrower and the applicable Tenant thereunder on or prior to the date that is thirty (30) days following the date that such Lease was deemed to have been consented to, then such deemed consent of Administrative Agent shall expire automatically and without further notice, and Borrowers shall be required to resubmit such proposed Lease to Administrative Agent for consent. 

D.Safe Harbor Leases.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1.13, so long as no Event of Default exists, Borrowers may (without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent) enter into (i) a Safe Harbor Lease or (ii) any modification or amendment of any Safe Harbor Lease so long as such Safe Harbor Lease shall remain a “Safe Harbor Lease” following such modification or amendment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.1.13(D), the written consent of Administrative Agent to any Lease that would otherwise qualify as a Safe Harbor Lease shall be required prior to entering into such Lease, as a condition to Administrative Agent’s and/or Lender’s executing any SNDA requested by the Tenant under such Lease.  Not later than the date that is ten (10) days following the execution of a Safe Harbor Lease (or a modification or amendment thereof), Borrowers shall provide Administrative Agent with (a) a true, correct and complete copy of such Lease (or such modification or amendment thereof), together with all other items required to be submitted with any Lease pursuant to this Section 7.1.13 and (b) a certification by Borrowers that such Lease (or, if applicable, such Lease together with such modification or amendment) satisfies the requirements set forth herein to qualify as a Safe Harbor Lease. 

E.Termination Fees.

(i)Without limiting the generality of this Section 7.1.13, (a) Borrowers shall notify Administrative Agent in writing of any cancellation penalties, termination fees or other consideration payable to any Borrower in connection with any cancellation, termination or surrender of any Lease (any such penalties or fees are referred to herein as “Termination Fees”), which written notice shall be delivered to Administrative Agent not later than the date that is three (3) Business Days following the date that Borrowers have received notice from the applicable Tenant under such Lease of the intention of such Tenant to cancel, terminate or surrender such Lease, but in any event prior to the payment by the applicable Tenant under such Lease of any such Termination Fees to Borrowers and (b) Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, require that Borrowers deposit such Termination Fees into a reserve Account held by Administrative Agent or Servicer and impose such restrictions and conditions on the timing and amount of disbursements of the Termination Fees from such reserve Account as Administrative Agent may reasonably require, including (x) requiring that (1) the space left vacant as a result of such cancellation, termination or surrender be relet to a Tenant and under a Lease consented to by Administrative Agent in accordance 

77

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

with Section 7.1.13(C) (any such Lease an “Approved Replacement Lease”), (2) the Tenant under such Approved Replacement Lease is in occupancy of the portion of the Property demised pursuant to such Approved Replacement Lease and is paying rent in accordance with such Approved Replacement Lease, (3) Borrowers provide to Administrative Agent a tenant estoppel certificate from the Tenant under such Approved Replacement Lease in a form and in substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent, and (4) Borrowers provide to Administrative Agent written evidence reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent that all improvements to the Property required pursuant to such Approved Replacement Lease have been completed in accordance with such Approved Replacement Lease, and (y) limiting the amount of any such disbursement to the lesser of (1) the actual cost of re-tenanting such space and (2) the amount calculated by dividing the Termination Fees by the total square feet of space vacated, then multiplying that result by the number of square feet of newly leased space under such Approved Replacement Lease.  Borrowers shall pay all actual out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent, Lender or Servicer in connection with establishing, holding, maintaining and administering such reserve.  Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, and in the sole discretion of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent and Servicer may, without notice to or consent from Borrowers, deduct such costs, fees and expenses directly from funds on deposit in such reserve.

(ii)If any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may apply any Termination Fees held by Administrative Agent or Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.1.13(E) to the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations, and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations in such order and in such manner as determined by Administrative Agent.

F.Security Deposits.  Borrowers shall deposit any cash security deposits of Tenants under Leases that are turned over to or for the benefit of any Borrower or otherwise collected by or on behalf of any Borrower, into a separate account maintained with a reputable financial institution in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, and Borrowers shall not commingle such funds with any funds of any Borrower.  Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrowers are permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements (i) shall be maintained in full force and effect unless replaced by cash deposits as hereinabove described (or unless applied pursuant to the terms of the applicable Lease), (ii) if permitted pursuant to Legal Requirements, shall name Administrative Agent on behalf of Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Administrative Agent’s option, be fully assignable to Administrative Agent) and (iii) shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.  Borrowers shall, upon request, provide Administrative Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent of Borrowers’ compliance with the foregoing.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Borrowers shall, upon Administrative Agent’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, (a) assign to Administrative Agent any such letter of credit security deposits (or cause such letter of credit security deposits to be re-issued in favor of Administrative Agent) and (b) turn over to Administrative Agent 

78

Borrowers shall require, in all Leases entered into after the Closing Date, that the Tenant’s property insurance policy in connection with each such Lease (i) provide for a standard waiver of subrogation clause benefiting Borrowers and Administrative Agent and Lender and (ii) include Administrative Agent and Lender as additional insureds.

H.Priority of Leases; SNDAs.  To the extent any Borrower has the right, under the terms of any Lease, to make such Lease subordinate to the Lien of the First Mortgages, the Second Mortgages and the Third Mortgages, Borrowers shall, at Administrative Agent’s request and Borrowers’ expense, take such action as may be reasonably required to effect such subordination.  Conversely, Borrowers shall, at Administrative Agent’s request and Borrowers’ expense, take such action as may be necessary to subordinate the Lien of the First Mortgages, the Second Mortgages and the Third Mortgages to any present or future Lease designated by Administrative Agent.  The standard form of Lease used by Borrowers shall provide that the Lease is subject and subordinate to the First Mortgages, the Second Mortgages, the Third Mortgages and all future mortgages affecting the applicable Individual Property.  Upon written request by Borrowers, Administrative Agent shall provide an SNDA (only if such SNDA is on Administrative Agent’s standard form and is otherwise acceptable to Administrative Agent) for any Lease that (i) is not a Lease of a residential apartment unit, (ii) demises fifty percent (50%) or more of the rentable square feet of any Individual Property, (iii) is entered into with a third party Tenant that is not (and is not an Affiliate of) any Borrower, Guarantor or Property Manager and (iv) is executed and delivered by the applicable Borrower following the Closing Date pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.1.13.

Borrowers shall not be permitted to replace any Required Insurance Policy without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent. 

9.4.7Separate Insurance

.  Borrowers shall not, without Administrative Agent’s express written prior consent, purchase any separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing, in the event of loss, with the Required Insurance Policies hereunder.

If Borrowers fail to effect, maintain or renew any of the Required Insurance Policies as stipulated in this Agreement, or fails to pay the premiums thereof or fails to deliver to Administrative Agent any evidence of the Required Insurance Policies, then Administrative Agent may procure replacement insurance to implement or replace, as the case may be, the coverage to be provided by the Required Insurance Policies.  Any sums expended by Administrative Agent and/or Lender to procure such replacement insurance shall be due and payable by Borrowers to Administrative Agent not later than five (5) days following Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date such sums are advanced by Administrative Agent and/or Lender until the 

111

date such sums (together with the applicable interest thereon at the Default Rate) are paid by Borrowers to Administrative Agent, and shall be part of the Secured Obligations; provided that Borrowers agree that procurement by Administrative Agent of any such insurance shall not be deemed to waive or release any Default or Event of Default, or the right of Administrative Agent, at Administrative Agent’s option, to exercise the remedies set forth herein, or in the  First Mortgages, the Second Mortgages, any other Loan Document, the Third Mortgages or the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), with respect to any Default or Event of Default.

Borrowers waive any claim, set off or defense against Administrative Agent and/or Lender arising by reason of any alleged default or breach by Administrative Agent and/or Lender as to which Borrowers do not give such notice timely as aforesaid.  Borrowers acknowledge that such waiver is or may be essential to Administrative Agent’s ability to enforce Administrative Agent and/or Lender’s remedies without delay and that such waiver therefore constitutes a substantial part of the bargain between Administrative Agent and Lender, on the one hand, and Borrowers, on the other hand, with respect to the Loan.

inverse order of alienation, any homestead exemption or the administration of estates of decedents to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent and/or Lender under the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages to a sale of any Collateral for the collection of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations, and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations.  Notwithstanding the existence of interests in the Property, Chattels, Intangible Personalty or other Collateral other than that created by the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages, and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages, upon an Event of Default, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Administrative Agent shall have the right to determine the order and manner in which the Property, Chattels, Intangible Personalty or other Collateral shall be subjected to the remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages and to determine the order and manner in which all or any part of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations, and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations are satisfied from the proceeds realized upon the exercise of the remedies provided for in the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages.

11.11Severability

.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement, each other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under Legal Requirements, then the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages shall not be affected thereby, and in lieu of each such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement, such other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages (as applicable) a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and enforceable.  If the rights and Liens created by this Agreement, any other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages shall be invalid or unenforceable as to any part of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations or the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations, then the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations shall be completely paid prior to the payment of the remaining and secured portion of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations, and all payments made on the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations shall be considered to have been paid on and applied first to the complete payment of the unsecured portion of the Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations. 

11.12Preferences; Reinstatement

.  Administrative Agent and 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 Secured Obligations, the Second Mortgage Secured Obligations and the Third Mortgage Secured Obligations.  To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to Administrative Agent and/or Lender for Borrowers’ benefit, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any Legal Requirements, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as applicable, and 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 Administrative Agent and/or Lender, as applicable.

11.13No Joint Venture or Partnership

.  Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lender intend that the relationship created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages be solely that of borrower and lender.

122

tenancy relationship between Borrowers, Administrative Agent and Lender nor to grant Administrative Agent and/or Lender any interest in the Collateral other than that of secured party, mortgagee or lender. 

11.14Conflict; Construction; Counterparts

.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages and that the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers) and the Third Mortgages shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted the same.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.  This Agreement, to the extent signed and delivered by means of electronic transmission in portable document format (pdf), shall be treated in all manner and respects (and shall have the same binding legal effect) as a fully executed original Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrowers and Borrowers’ successors and assigns, Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent’s successors and assigns, and Lender and Lender’s successors and assigns.

Borrowers shall cooperate, and cause Guarantor and each of the Borrower Control Persons to cooperate, with Lender to effectuate such Loan Modification (including by providing updated representations and warranties regarding the Loan and the Property, providing updated legal opinions, and, if reasonably determined by Lender to be consistent with the market standards for such Loan Modifications, providing revised organizational documents for the Borrowers and/or Managing Member that provide for one (1) or more Independent Managers) and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents as Lender may reasonably request to evidence such Loan Modification.  Upon the election of Lender at any time to effectuate a Loan Modification, Lender may (a) cause the Notes, the First Mortgages, the Second Mortgages, the Third Mortgages and any of the other Loan Documents evidencing and securing the Loan to be split into two or more additional tranches of notes (i.e., an A-1/A-2 structure), (b) create two or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (c) create multiple components of the Notes or notes, and/or (d) otherwise split or sever the Loan and the Notes into two or more loans and notes secured by mortgages or deeds of trust (as applicable) and, in each such case, allocate or reallocate the Principal Indebtedness among such split, severed or component loans and notes in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, that, in each such instance, immediately after the effective date of such Loan Modification, (1) the outstanding principal balance of the note or notes evidencing the Loan (or split, severed or component notes evidencing the Loan) equals the Principal Indebtedness immediately prior to such Loan Modification, (2) the weighted average of the interest rates for the note or notes evidencing the Loan (or split, severed or component notes evidencing the Loan) equals the interest rate of the Notes immediately 

124

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

prior to such Loan Modification, and (3) there shall be no change to (x) the economic terms of the Loan Documents or (y) to the rights or obligations of Borrowers or Guarantor, other than de-minimis changes to reflect the revised structure of the Loan and the Notes (provided, that, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that in the event there is one or more senior/subordinate components of the Loan, “rate creep” will result from the application of prepayments in connection with a casualty or condemnation, application of payments during an Event of Default and/or voluntary partial prepayments to the extent permitted under the Loan Documents, and such “rate creep” will not be deemed a violation of clause (2) above or this clause (3) so long as Borrowers shall not pay in the aggregate more interest than Borrowers would have paid without such Loan Modification). Administrative Agent and/or Lender shall reimburse Borrowers for all actual documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Borrowers in connection with the foregoing. 

11.17.2 Securitization.  Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to securitize the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein) in a commercial mortgage backed securitization or any other public offering or private placement (a “Securitization”), and Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate with Lender in effecting any such Securitization (without cost or expense to Borrowers (provided, however, that Borrowers shall be responsible for attorney’s fees incurred by Borrowers in excess of $25,000.00)).  Borrowers authorize Lender to disclose to any actual or prospective participant or transferee of the Loan (or any investor in such securities issued in connection with a Securitization or any rating agency rating such securities) any and all financial and other information then in Lender’s possession concerning the Property, the Borrower Control Persons and their respective Affiliates, or the Loan.  If requested by Lender, whether prior to, on or following the Closing Date, Borrowers shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by any rating agency to be included in any loan documentation and/or disclosure documentation or otherwise in connection with any such Securitization. Without limiting the foregoing, if Lender reasonably deems it necessary to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or that may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by any rating agency in connection with any such Securitization, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender revised organizational documents for the Borrowers and/or Managing Member that provide for one (1) or more Independent Managers. Borrowers shall indemnify Lender (and its Affiliates) in connection with any material misstatement or material omission in the offering materials for such Securitization provided that such disclosure is based on information delivered by any Borrower Control Person to Administrative Agent and/or Lender. Lender shall reimburse Borrowers for all actual documented out-of-pocket attorney’s fees actually incurred by Borrowers in connection with the foregoing; provided, however, that Lender shall not be required to reimburse Borrowers for attorney’s fees in excess of $25,000.00. 

11.17.3 Disclosure of Lease Information.  To the extent that a Lease is subject to a confidentiality provision that prohibits Lender (or requires the landlord thereunder to prohibit Lender) from disclosing such Lease or information regarding the Tenant in connection with a Securitization or other disposition of the Loan, Borrowers will obtain (or 

125

have obtained) a waiver of such confidentiality provision for Lender’s benefit to permit disclosure of such information by Lender.

.  Any reference in this Agreement to attorneys’ or counsels’ fees paid or incurred by Administrative Agent and/or Lender shall be deemed to include paralegals’ fees and legal assistants’ fees.

127

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers) or the Third Mortgages shall be deemed to refer to “actual, out-of-pocket” attorneys’ or counsels’ fees.

11.20.3Fee Deposit.

  As a condition precedent to reviewing any request of Borrowers or any other matter that Administrative Agent reasonably believes will result in Administrative Agent and/or Lender incurring any out-of-pocket costs, fees or expenses (including actual out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees), Administrative Agent may require Borrowers to deposit with Administrative Agent , Servicer or Administrative Agent’s counsel an amount reasonably determined by Administrative Agent to cover such costs, fees and expenses (the “Fee Deposit”).  Administrative Agent shall apply the Fee Deposit to the payment of any such out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the applicable request or other matter (regardless of whether such request or other matter is approved, denied or consummated); provided that (i) if the actual amount of such costs, fees, and expenses exceeds the amount of the Fee Deposit, then Borrowers shall promptly pay such excess amount to Administrative Agent, and (ii) if the amount of the Fee Deposit exceeds the actual amount of such costs, fees, and expenses, then Administrative Agent shall return such excess amount to Borrowers.  Notwithstanding that the Fee Deposit may be wired to Administrative Agent’s counsel, Borrowers and Administrative Agent hereby acknowledge and agree that in no way will any such remittance of the Fee Deposit to Administrative Agent’s counsel give rise to an attorney-client relationship between Borrowers on the one hand, and Administrative Agent’s counsel on the other hand. 

11.21Disclaimer Regarding Third Party Reports

.  Borrowers acknowledge that, in connection with the Loan, Administrative Agent has ordered, or may in the future order, certain reports (collectively, the “Third Party Reports”) from third-party service providers, including (as applicable) an environmental report, engineering report, zoning report, seismic report, and an Appraisal.  Borrowers hereby agree and acknowledge that, with respect to the Third Party Reports, (i) none of Administrative Agent, Lender and any of their Affiliates were, or shall be, responsible for the production of or content of the Third Party Reports, (ii) even if Administrative Agent, Lender or their respective Affiliates have provided (or hereafter provides) Borrowers with a copy of any Third Party Report, Administrative Agent, Lender and their Affiliates are not making any representation or warranty, either express or implied, and hereby expressly disclaim any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, regarding (a) the contents, accuracy, completeness, or conclusions of the Third Party Reports, (b) whether any Borrower is an intended user of the Third Party Reports, or (c) whether any Borrower has any right to rely upon the Third Party Reports or has any rights or remedies against the applicable service provider related to the contents of such Third Party Reports), and (iii) Administrative Agent, Lender and their respective Affiliates disclaim any and all liability to Borrowers or any other Person.  Each Borrower for itself and on behalf of such Borrower’s Affiliates, hereby releases Administrative Agent Lender and their respective Affiliates from any Losses related to or arising out of the Third Party Reports or their contents or the accuracy, completeness, or conclusions thereof.  Without limiting the foregoing terms of this Section 11.21, Borrowers hereby agree and acknowledge that Borrowers are not intended users of any Appraisal, and absent a separate agreement between Borrowers and the applicable appraiser, Borrowers have no rights or remedies arising out of any Appraisal against such appraiser or any other Person.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers) or the Third Mortgages (including any reference to the “continuance”, the “continuation” or the “existence” of an Event of Default or that an Event of Default is “continuing” (or variations thereof)), neither Administrative Agent nor Lender shall in any event or under any circumstance be obligated or required to waive or accept a cure by Borrowers, Guarantor, or by any other Person of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent and/or Lender expressly agrees in writing to do so in the exercise of Administrative Agent’s and/or Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, it being agreed that once an Event of Default has occurred and so long as neither Administrative Agent nor Lender has determined and expressly agreed in writing to waive or accept a cure of such Event of Default, Administrative Agent and/or Lender shall be absolutely and unconditionally entitled to pursue all rights and remedies available to Administrative Agent and/or Lender under this Agreement, the First Mortgages, the Second Mortgages, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers) or the Third Mortgages or otherwise at law or in equity.  

11.23No Mortgagee In Possession

.

Borrowers agree that none of Administrative Agent, Lender and Servicer shall have any fiduciary obligations or trust obligations with respect to managing or operating the Property.

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

13.1Appointment; Authorization and Definitions.

 

(a)Administrative Agent is hereby appointed by each Lender as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and under each other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages. The Lenders may replace the Administrative Agent from time to time, in each case, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and provisions as set forth in the Co-Lender Agreement (as defined below).  The Administrative Agent shall provide prompt written notice to Borrowers and Guarantor of any such replacement. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages for the benefit of Lender, to act as agent for Lender with full power and authority to collect and administer the Loan, to exercise (or refrain from exercising) on behalf of Lender all rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages, to take such actions as Lender is obligated or entitled to take under the provisions of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Except as specifically otherwise provided herein, Administrative Agent shall have the power to issue consents, approvals and waivers, determine compliance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages as to whether any document, item or matter is satisfactory or acceptable and enforce any rights and remedies available to any Lender under the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages, at law, in equity or otherwise.  Administrative Agent, in its management and administration of the Loan, or in connection with the exercise of any 

134

153251886 Loan Agreement (NY Loan) - GTJ Portfolio Refinancing - AIG

rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages, at law, in equity or otherwise agrees to use the same diligence and care as customarily used by Administrative Agent with respect to loans held by Administrative Agent entirely for its own account.    

(b)Notwithstanding the use of the defined term “Administrative Agent,” it is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent shall not have a fiduciary relationship or any fiduciary responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages and that Administrative Agent is merely acting as the contractual representative of Lender.  In its capacity as Lender’s contractual representative, Administrative Agent (i) is a “representative” of Lender within the meaning of Section 9-105 of the Uniform Commercial Code and (ii) is acting as an independent contractor, the rights and duties of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages.  Each Lender hereby agrees to assert no claim against Administrative Agent on any agency theory or any other theory of liability for breach of fiduciary duty, all of which claims each Lender hereby irrevocably waives.  No implied covenants, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages or otherwise exist against or with respect to Administrative Agent. 

(c)As used in this Agreement, each other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages, the use of “Administrative Agent”, “Lender” and/or “Lenders” shall mean, in each case as applicable, the Administrative Agent, Lender and/or Lenders that are a party to this Agreement, each such other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), the Third Mortgages and the Co-Lender Agreement from time to time pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, each such other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), the Third Mortgages and the Co-Lender Agreement.  

13.2Reliance on Administrative Agent.  

All acts of and communications by Administrative Agent, as agent for Lender, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding on Lender; and Borrowers or any third party (including any Governmental Authority) shall be entitled to rely on any and all communications or acts of Administrative Agent with respect to the exercise of any rights or remedies and the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of Lender in all circumstances where an action by Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages or by applicable Laws without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of any individual Lender as to the authority of Administrative Agent with respect to such matter.  In no event shall any of the foregoing limit the rights or obligations of any Lender with respect to any other Lender pursuant to this Article 13.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees for the benefit of Administrative Agent and Borrowers that Administrative Agent shall be, and Borrowers shall be entitled to communicate with Administrative Agent as, the exclusive representative of Lender on all matters relating to the

Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Article 13 in accordance with this Agreement, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all Lenders.  Administrative Agent shall not be considered, or be deemed, a separate agent of Lender hereunder, but is, and shall be deemed, an Administrative Agent acting in its capacity as an Administrative Agent, exercising such rights and powers under the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent or which Administrative Agent is otherwise entitled to take hereunder.  Administrative Agent shall have no implied duties to Lender, or any obligation to Lender to take any action, except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages to be taken by Administrative Agent. 

 

13.4Rights as a Lender.

If at any time Administrative Agent is a Lender, then, Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, shall have the same rights, powers and obligations hereunder and under each other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.  Borrowers and each Lender acknowledge and agree that Administrative Agent, any Lender and/or their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, hold other investments in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, debt, equity, advisory or other transaction or have other relationships, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages, with Borrowers, Guarantor and any Affiliate of Borrowers or Guarantor.

Agent nor any of the foregoing shall have any liability hereunder, except for any liability caused solely and directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent as determined by a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction.   

(b)Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice, consent, resolution, certificate, affidavit, letter, e-mail, telegram, statement, paper, document or other communication believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and to rely upon the advice of consultants (including accountants and other experts) selected by Administrative Agent. 

(c)Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to any Person on account of the failure of any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages or to any Lender on account of the failure of such Person or any other Lender to perform its obligations under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages. 

13.6No Responsibility for Loans, Recitals, Etc.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, shareholders, members, partners, managers, employees, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be responsible or liable for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, or verify (a) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made under or in connection with any Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages or any borrowing thereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of any party to any Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages, including, without limitation, any agreement by an obligor to furnish information directly to each Lender; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified herein or in any other Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages; (d) the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or enforceability of any Loan Document, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; or (e) the value, sufficiency, creation, perfection or priority of any interest in any collateral security.

(b)Each Lender has made or caused to be made an independent investigation of the Property, Borrowers and Guarantor and their creditworthiness, and all other matters affecting its decision to enter into the Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), and the Third Mortgages.  Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent or its Affiliates is (or may be) a lender to the Guarantor or its Affiliates under other credit facilities and as a result may from time to time have information regarding the Guarantor or its Affiliates that is not (and will not be made) available to Lenders under the Loan.  Each Lender acknowledges that notwithstanding the fact that Administrative Agent may have made available to it certain information contained in Administrative Agent’s files and certain memoranda prepared by Administrative Agent for its general use with respect to the Loan, Administrative Agent has made no representations or warranties, oral or written, upon which any Lender has relied or is entitled to rely and no Lender has relied in any manner upon any such materials which may have been made available to it by Administrative Agent or upon any judgment, determination or statements of Administrative Agent in entering into this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Affiliate Guaranty (Portfolio Borrowers), or the Third Mortgages.
