terms and conditions of this Agreement (the “Term”).  Thereafter, the Term will renew hereunder  automatically for successive one-year periods unless either party gives written notice to the other not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the Term hereof (or any subsequent anniversary, as the case may be) that such party does not wish the Term to be so extended, and under such circumstances, the Term and this Agreement will terminate by its terms on August 31, 2019 (or such subsequent anniversary, as the case may be).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control Event, the Term shall be automatically extended so that the Term shall continue in full force and effect until the date which is twenty-four (24) months from the date of a Change in Control Event and thereafter will renew automatically as of such date and successive one-year periods thereafter, unless prior notice is given, as provided above.

 

4.                                      Compensation.

The Base Salary shall accrue and be due and payable in equal, or as nearly equal as practicable, biweekly installments and the Company may deduct from each such installment all amounts required to be deducted and withheld in accordance with applicable federal and state income, FICA and other withholding tax requirements.

 

(2)                                 The Base Salary shall be reviewed by the Board of Directors at least once during each year of the Term and may be increased from time to time and at any time by the Board of Directors.  The Base Salary shall in no event be reduced or decreased below the highest level attained at any time by You, unless You and the Board of Directors agree to implement a salary reduction program for cost abatement purposes.

 

(b)                                 For each fiscal year of the Company, You shall be entitled to participate in the Company’s annual short-term incentive plan with an annual target bonus opportunity in an amount equal to one hundred twenty percent (120%) of Your Eligible Earnings (the “Annual Target Bonus”), subject to achievement of the plan’s objectives as determined by the Leadership and Compensation Committee.  All bonus payments that become payable shall be paid to You in accordance with the applicable bonus plan but in no event later than 21⁄2 months after the end of the fiscal year of the Company to which Your bonus payments relate.

 

(c)                                  While You are performing the services described herein, the Company shall reimburse You for all reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by You in connection with the performance of Your duties of employment hereunder in accordance with the Company’s expense reimbursement policy, as applied to the Company’s executive officers, as soon as administratively practicable but no later than 2 1⁄2 months after the end of the year in which You incur the reimbursable expense.

7

 

Effective Time.  If You have a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause or by You other than for Good Reason, in either case prior to August 31, 2019, You agree to  return to the Company an amount equal to the gross amount of the Retention Payment as follows:  (i) one hundred percent (100%) of the gross amount of the Retention Payment if such Termination of Employment occurs before August 31, 2017, (ii) seventy percent (70%) of the gross amount of the Retention Payment if such Termination of Employment occurs on or after August 31, 2017 and before August 31, 2018, and (iii) forty percent (40%) of the gross amount of the Retention Payment if such Termination of Employment occurs on or after August 31, 2018 and before August 31, 2019.  Additionally, and notwithstanding the preceding sentence, if within the twelve (12) months immediately following the Effective Time, the Company has become a party to a definitive agreement to consummate a transaction that would result in a Change in Control, and the transaction that is the subject of that announcement is consummated, then You agree to return to the Company an amount equal to the gross amount of the Retention Payment as soon as practicable (and no later than thirty (30) days) following the consummation of the Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing two sentences, the Company shall reduce the amounts otherwise payable to You at such time under this Agreement, under outstanding Stock Options and RSUs or otherwise up to the gross amount of the Retention Payment that you are obligated to return, and in that event You will not be required to return the gross amount of the Retention Payment so offset.  Any such reduction(s) shall be applied against the earliest amounts otherwise payable to You at such time under this Agreement, under outstanding Stock Options and RSUs or otherwise.  In no event, however, will You be required to return to the Company, or suffer reduction of any amounts owed You for, (i) an amount in excess of the gross amount of Your Retention Payment or (ii) any amount of Your Retention Payment on and after Your Termination of Employment on account of Your death or Your Total Disability.

 

5.                                      Equity Rights.

 

(a)                                 On and after the Effective Time, at the same time Holdings makes its annual equity award grant to other executive officers, Holdings shall make an equity award grant to You with a value of not less than three million three hundred fifty thousand dollars ($3,350,000) (the “Equity Award Value”); such equity award to have the same pro rata allocation between types of equity awards and the same terms and conditions of such equity awards as are made to the other executive officers (other than terms for acceleration of vesting which shall be consistent with the terms provided for in this Agreement) and with the number of awards comprising the Equity Award Value to be calculated in the same manner as those granted to the other executive officers.

 

(b)                                 The stock options and restricted stock units granted by the Company to You from time to time are hereinafter collectively called the “Stock Options and RSUs.”  You shall be given the period permitted under Your respective Stock Option agreements to exercise Your Stock Options after Your termination of employment, except as otherwise provided in Section 5(c) below.

 

(c)                                  Vested Stock Options shall be exercisable for ninety (90) days following termination of employment, provided that if You are prohibited from exercising vested

 

8

 

stock options during such ninety (90) day period due to having material non-public information about the Company, such exercise period shall be extended until ten (10) days following the date that You no longer have material non-public information about the  Company, but in no event shall the vested Stock Options be exercisable beyond their latest expiration date as set forth in the respective Stock Option agreements.

 

(d)                                 In the event no provision is made for the continuance, assumption or substitution by Holdings or its successor in connection with a Change in Control Event of Your outstanding Stock Options and RSUs, then contemporaneously with the Change in Control Event, Your outstanding Stock Options and RSUs shall become immediately vested in full, provided You have not previously incurred a Termination of Employment prior to such Change in Control Event, except that if any of Your Stock Options and RSUs contain performance criteria for exercise or payment (either alone or in combination with any continued employment or other requirements), then any tranche of such award for which the performance period shall have ended prior to the date of the Change in Control Event shall not be affected by the provisions of this Section 5(d).  For example, if an RSU had separate performance periods for each of three tranches and the Change in Control Event occurred during the second such performance period, the second and third tranches would fully vest upon the Change in Control Event and the first tranche would vest (or not) based on the actual achievement of the performance goals applicable to the first performance period.

 

6.                                      Termination.

(ii)                                  You shall become immediately vested in all Your outstanding Stock Options and RSUs, except that if any of Your Stock Options and RSUs contain performance criteria for exercise or payment (either alone or in combination with any continued employment or other requirements), then any tranche of such award for which the performance period shall have ended prior to the date of the date of Your Termination of Employment shall not be affected by the provisions of this Section 6(b)(ii).  For example, if an RSU had separate performance periods for each of three tranches and Your Termination of Employment occurred during the second such performance period, the second and third tranches would fully vest upon Your Termination of Employment and the first tranche would vest (or not) based on the actual achievement of the performance goals applicable to the first performance period.

 

(iii)                               You shall be paid an amount equal to the monthly cost to provide the group medical, dental, vision and/or prescription drug plan benefits sponsored by the Company and in which You participated as of Your Date of Termination, if any, multiplied by 18 months (the “COBRA Payment”).  For purposes of this clause (iii), the cost of such benefits will be calculated based on the “applicable premium” determined in accordance with Code Section 4980B(f)(4) and the regulations issued thereunder (less the 2% administrative fee but including the active-employee rate for such coverage) for the year in which Your Date of Termination occurs.  Subject to Section 19 below, the COBRA Payment shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable (and within thirty (30) days) after Your Termination of Employment.

 

(iv)                              You shall be paid a pro-rata Annual Target Bonus for the year in which Your Termination of Employment occurs (the “Final Year Bonus”), equal to the product of (A) the amount You would have earned, if any, under the annual bonus plan for such year based on actual financial performance (without regard to personal performance metrics), and (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the fiscal year through Your Termination of Employment, and the denominator of which is 365.  Subject to Section 19 below, the Final Year Bonus shall be paid in a lump sum on the date bonus awards are paid to other participants in the applicable bonus plan (but in no event later than 21⁄2 months after the end of the fiscal year of the Company to which the Final Year Bonus relates).

 

(v)                                 You shall be paid Your Base Salary through the Date of Termination to the extent not theretofore paid (“Accrued Salary”) on the Company’s normal payroll date next following Your Termination of Employment and, to the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay

 

10

 

or provide to You any other vested amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which You are eligible to receive under any retirement, death, disability or similar (other than severance) plan or program of the Company outside the scope of this Agreement (“Other Vested Benefits”) in accordance with the terms of the plan or program under which they are otherwise payable.

 

(c)                                  If You have a Termination of Employment on account of Your death or Your Total Disability, You shall be paid (i) one hundred percent (100%) of Your Base Salary as of the effective date of Your Termination of Employment, such amount to be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable (and within thirty (30) days) after Your Termination of Employment (subject to any delay in payments that may be required by Section 19), and (ii) Your Annual Target Bonus for the year in which Your Termination of Employment occurs, such Annual Target Bonus to be determined in accordance with Section 4(b) and to be payable in accordance with the last sentence of Section 4(b).  The Company shall also pay You any Accrued Salary on the Company’s normal payroll date next following Your Termination of Employment and any Other Vested Benefits in accordance with the terms of the plan or program under which they are otherwise payable.

 

(d)                                 If You have a Termination of Employment by the Company for Cause or by You other than for Good Reason, the Company will have no obligation to pay You any amount beyond the effective date of such Termination of Employment whether as Base Salary, Annual Target Bonus or otherwise or to provide You with any benefits arising hereunder or otherwise except for the timely payment of Accrued Salary and Other Vested Benefits or as required by law.  Additionally, You will be required to repay the Company Your Retention Payment, or portion thereof, as described in Section 4(d) above.

 

(e)                                  Any payments to be made by the Company, or any accelerated vesting of equity awards, pursuant to this Section 6 shall be conditioned upon Your executing and not revoking a general release in favor of the Company, the Board of Directors and their affiliates in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company within thirty (30) days after Your Termination of Employment.  If the period for executing and not revoking such general release spans more than one calendar year, any payments You are entitled to receive within the thirty (30) days following Your Termination of Employment shall not be paid until the subsequent calendar year.

 

7.                                      Confidential Information, Trade Secrets and Company Property.

 

(a)                                 Duty of Confidentiality. You acknowledge that the nature of Your engagement by the Company is such that You shall have access to the Confidential Information, each item of which has great value to the Company, provides the Company a competitive advantage, and constitutes the foundation upon which the Business of the Company is based.  You agree that during employment with the Company and for a period of three (3) years following Your termination or resignation from employment with the Company for any reason, You shall not, directly or indirectly, divulge or make use of any Confidential Information of the Company other than in the performance of

 

11

 

Your duties for the Company.  While employed by the Company, You shall make all reasonable efforts to protect and maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the Company.  In the event that You become aware of unauthorized disclosures of the Confidential Information by anyone at any time, whether intentionally or by accident, You shall promptly notify the Company.  This Agreement does not limit the remedies available to the Company under common or statutory law as to Trade Secrets or other types of confidential information, which may impose longer duties of non-disclosure.

 

(b)                                 Return of Property and Information.  You agree not to remove any Company property from Company premises, except when authorized by the Company.  You agree to return all Company property and information (whether confidential or not) within Your possession or control within seven (7) calendar days following Your termination or resignation from employment with the Company for any reason.  Such property and information includes, but is not limited to, the original and any copy (regardless of the manner in which it is recorded) of all information provided by the Company to You or which You have developed or collected in the scope of Your employment with the Company, as well as all Company-issued equipment, supplies, accessories, vehicles, keys, instruments, tools, devices, computers, cell phones, pagers, materials, documents, plans, records, notebooks, drawings, or papers.  Upon request by the Company, You shall certify in writing that You have complied with this provision, and have permanently deleted all Company information from any computers or other electronic storage devices or media owned by You.  You may only retain information relating to Your benefit plans and compensation to the extent needed to prepare Your tax returns.

 

8.                                      Inventions and Patents.  All inventions, designs, improvements, patents, copyrights and discoveries conceived by You during the term of this Agreement which are useful in or directly or indirectly relate to the business of the Company or to any experimental work carried on by the Company, shall be the property of the Company.  You agree to promptly and fully disclose to the Company all such inventions, designs, improvements, patents, copyrights and discoveries (whether developed individually or with other persons) and at the Company’s expense, to take all steps necessary and reasonably required to assure the Company’s ownership thereof and to assist the Company in protecting or defending the Company’s proprietary rights therein.

 

9.                                      Restrictive Covenants.

 

(a)                                 Non-Competition.  You agree that during the Restricted Period, and within the Restricted Territory, You shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, perform services on behalf of a Competing Business, and which are the same as or similar to those types of services conducted, authorized, offered, or provided by You to the Company within 24 months prior to Your termination or resignation.

 

12

 

(b)                                 Non-Solicitation of Company Customers. You agree that during the Restricted Period, you shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit any actual or prospective customers of the Company with whom You had Material Contact, for the purpose of selling any products or services for a Competing Business.

 

(c)                                  Non-Recruitment of Company Employees and Contractors.  You agree that during the Restricted Period, You shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit or induce any employee or independent contractor of the Company with whom You had Material Contact, to terminate or lessen such employment or contract with the Company.

 

(d)                                 Non-Solicitation of Company Vendors.  You agree that during the Restricted Period, You shall not, directly or indirectly, whether on Your own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit any actual or prospective vendor of the Company with whom You had Material Contact, for the purpose of purchasing products or services to support a Competing Business.

 

(e)                                  Compensation for Restrictive Covenants.  Subject to Section 4(d) above, as consideration for Your obligations under this Section 9, and in the event that Your Termination of Employment occurs because of: (A) by the Company (other than  for Cause, Your death or Your Total Disability) or (B) by You for Good Reason, You shall be paid an amount equal to the sum of (i) Your Base Salary as of the effective date of Your Termination of Employment and (ii) Your Annual Target Bonus for the year in which Your Termination of Employment occurs (the “Non-Compete Payment”).  Subject to Section 19 below, such amount shall be paid in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable (and within thirty (30) days) after Your Termination of Employment.  Provided, however, that you acknowledge that the Restrictive Covenants shall apply even if you do not qualify for the additional consideration provided by this Section 9(e).  Any payments to be made by the Company pursuant to this Section 9(e) shall be conditioned upon Your executing and not revoking a general release in favor of the Company, the Board of Directors and their affiliates in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company within thirty (30) days after Your Termination of Employment.  If the period for executing and not revoking such general release spans more than one calendar year, any payments You are entitled to receive within the thirty (30) days following Your Termination of Employment shall not be paid until the subsequent calendar year.

 

(f)                                   You agree that You will provide the Company with a notice containing the identity of any employer You plan to go to work for during the Restricted Period along with Your anticipated job title, anticipated job duties with any such employer, and anticipated start date.  The Company will analyze the proposed employment and make a determination as to whether it would violate this Section 9.  The Company will notify You in writing within ten (10) business days following the receipt of Your notice as to whether or not the Company objects to the proposed employment.  You further agree to provide a copy of this Agreement to anyone who employs You during the Restricted Period.

 

13

 

10.                               Remedies.

 

(a)                                 The parties hereto agree that the services to be rendered by You pursuant to this Agreement, and the rights and privileges granted to the Company pursuant to this Agreement, are of a special, unique, extraordinary and intellectual character, which gives them a peculiar value; the loss of which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in any action at law, and that a breach by You of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause the Company great and irreparable injury and damage.  You hereby agree that the definition of the Business of the Company set forth in Section 1 is correct, that the Company and its Affiliates conduct business throughout the 50 states of the United States of America and beyond, and that these restrictions are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company.  You hereby expressly agree that the Company shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent a breach of this Agreement by You.  This Section 10 shall not be construed as a waiver of any other rights or remedies which the Company may have for damages or otherwise.

 

(b)                                 In the event of any dispute over the interpretation or application of this Agreement, the Company shall reimburse You for Your reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with that dispute unless the Company is determined, by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to be the prevailing party on all or substantially all of the issues in dispute, which reimbursement shall be made promptly (and within thirty (30) days) following final judgment.

 

11.                               Construction and Severability.  The parties hereto agree that the provisions of this Agreement shall be presumed to be enforceable, and any reading causing unenforceability shall yield to a construction permitting enforcement.  In the event a court should determine not to enforce a provision of this Agreement due to overbreadth, violation of public policy, or similar reasons, the parties specifically authorize such reviewing court to enforce said covenant to the maximum extent reasonable, whether said revisions be in time, territory, scope of prohibited activities, or other respects.  If any single covenant, provision, word, clause or phrase in this Agreement shall be found unenforceable, it shall be severed and the remaining covenants and provisions enforced in accordance with the tenor of the Agreement.

 

12.                               Assignment.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the hereunder may not be assigned by either party hereto without the prior written consent of the other party hereto.

 

13.                               Notices.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice required or permitted to be given to You pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in writing, and personally delivered or mailed to You by certified mail, return receipt requested, at the address set forth below Your signature on this Agreement or at such other address as You shall designate by written notice to the Company given in accordance with this Section 13, and any notice required or permitted to be given to the Company, the Chairman of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Leadership and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors shall be given in writing, and personally delivered or mailed to that recipient by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the appropriate recipient at the address set forth under the

 

14

 

signature of the Chairman of the Board of the Company or her designee on this Agreement or at such other address as the Company shall designate by written notice to You given in accordance with this Section 13.  Any notice complying with this Section 13 shall be deemed received upon actual receipt by the addressee.

 

14.                               Waiver.  The waiver by either party hereto of any breach of this Agreement by the other party hereto shall not be effective unless in writing, and no such waiver shall operate or be construed as the waiver of the same or another breach on a subsequent occasion.

 

15.                               Governing Law and Venue.  This Agreement and the rights of the parties hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.  Any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be filed exclusively in one of the following courts: (1) The United States District Court of the Northern District of Georgia, (2) The Superior Court of Fulton County, Georgia or (3) so long as you are a resident of the State of Georgia at the time of filing, the Company may also elect to file suit against you in the Superior Court of your County of residence.  Venue in such courts is exclusive and the parties waive any objections to personal jurisdiction in such courts.

 

16.                               Beneficiary.  All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, administrators and permitted assigns.

 

17.                               Entire Agreement.  This Agreement supersedes the Prior Employment Agreement and embodies the entire agreement of the parties hereto relating to Your employment by the Company in the capacity herein stated and, except as specifically provided herein, no provisions of any employee manual, personnel policies, Company directives or other agreement or document shall be deemed to modify the terms of this Agreement.  No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon You or the Company unless made in writing and signed by the parties hereto.  All prior understandings and agreements relating to Your employment by the Company, in whatever capacity, are hereby expressly terminated.

 

18.                               Excise Tax.

 

(a)                                 If any payment or distribution by the Company and/or any Affiliate of the Company to or for Your benefit, whether paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise pursuant to or by reason of any other agreement, policy, plan, program or arrangement, including without limitation any stock option, stock appreciation right or similar right, or the lapse or termination of any restriction on or the vesting or exercisability of any of the foregoing (a “Payment”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or to any similar tax imposed by state or local law, or any interest or penalties with respect to such tax (such tax or taxes, together with any such interest and penalties, being hereafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then the payments and benefits payable or provided under this Agreement (or other Payments as described below) shall be reduced (but not below the amount of the payments or benefits provided under this Agreement) if, and only to the extent that, such reduction will allow You to receive a greater Net After Tax Amount than You would receive absent such reduction.

 

15

 

(b)                                 The Accounting Firm will first determine the amount of any Parachute Payments (as defined below) that are payable to You.  The Accounting Firm also will determine the Net After Tax Amount (as defined below) attributable to Your total Parachute Payments.

 

(c)                                  The Accounting Firm will next determine the largest amount of Payments that may be made to You without subjecting You to the Excise Tax (the “Capped Payments”).  Thereafter, the Accounting Firm will determine the Net After Tax Amount attributable to the Capped Payments.

 

(d)                                 You then will receive the total Parachute Payments or the Capped Payments or such other amount less than the total Parachute Payments, whichever provides You with the higher Net After Tax Amount, but in no event will any such reduction imposed by this Section 18 be in excess of the amount of payments or benefits payable or provided under this Agreement.  If You will receive the Capped Payments or some other amount lesser than the total Parachute Payments, the total Parachute Payments will be adjusted by first reducing the amount of any noncash benefits under this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement on a pro rata basis and then by reducing the amount of any cash benefits under this Agreement or any other plan, agreement or arrangement on a pro rata basis.  The Accounting Firm will notify You and the Company if it determines that the Parachute Payments must be reduced and will send You and the Company a copy of its detailed calculations supporting that determination.

 

(e)                                  As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Code Sections 280G and 4999 at the time that the Accounting Firm makes its determinations under this Section 18, it is possible that amounts will have been paid or distributed to You that should not have been paid or distributed under this Section 18 (“Overpayments”), or that additional amounts should be paid or distributed to You under this Section 18 (“Underpayments”).  If the Accounting Firm determines, based on either the assertion of a deficiency by the Internal Revenue Service against the Company or You, which assertion the Accounting Firm believes has a high probability of success or controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Overpayment has been made, that Overpayment will be treated for all purposes as a debt ab initio that You must repay to the Company together with interest at the applicable Federal rate under Code Section 7872; provided, however, that no debt will be deemed to have been incurred by You and no amount will be payable by You to the Company unless, and then only to the extent that, the deemed debt and payment would either reduce the amount on which You are subject to tax under Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section 4999.  If the Accounting Firm determines, based upon controlling precedent or substantial authority, that an Underpayment has occurred, the Accounting Firm will notify You and the Company of that determination and the amount of that Underpayment will be paid to You by the Company promptly (and no later than thirty (30) days) after the final determination of the Underpayment, which is when Your legally binding right to such Underpayment first arises.

 

(f)                                   For purposes of this Section 18, the following terms shall have their respective meanings:

 

16

 

(i)                                     “Accounting Firm” means the· independent accounting firm engaged by the Company in the Company’s sole discretion.

 

(ii)                                  “Net After Tax Amount” means the amount of any Parachute Payments, Capped Payments or other payments described in this Section 18, as applicable, net of taxes imposed under Code Sections 1, 3101(b) and 4999 and any State or local income taxes applicable to You on the date of payment.  The determination of the Net After Tax Amount shall be made using the highest combined effective rate imposed by the foregoing taxes on income of the same character as the Parachute Payments or Capped Payments, as applicable, in effect on the date of payment.

 

(iii)                               “Parachute Payment” means a payment that is described in Code Section 280G(b)(2), determined in accordance with Code Section 280G and the regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder.

 

(g)                                  The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm for its services in connection with the determinations and calculations contemplated by the preceding subsections shall be borne by the Company.  If such fees and expenses are initially paid by You, the Company shall reimburse You the full amount of such fees and expenses within five business days after receipt from You of a statement therefore and reasonable evidence of Your payment thereof but in no event later than the end of the year immediately following the year in which You incur such reimbursable fees and expenses.

 

(h)                                 The Company and You shall each provide the Accounting Firm access to and copies of any books, records and documents in the possession of the Company or You, as the case may be, reasonably requested by the Accounting Firm, and otherwise cooperate with the Accounting Firm in connection with the preparation and issuance of the determinations and calculations contemplated by the preceding subsections.  Any determination by the Accounting Firm shall be binding upon the Company and You.

 

(i)                                     The federal, state and local income or other tax returns filed by You shall be prepared and filed on a consistent basis with the determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to the Excise Tax payable by You.  You, at the request of the Company, shall provide the Company true and correct copies (with any amendments) of Your federal income tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service and corresponding state and local tax returns, if relevant, as filed with the applicable taxing authority, and such other documents reasonably requested by the Company, evidencing such conformity.

 

19.                               Tax Liabilities and Code Section 409A.  Any payments or benefits that You receive pursuant to this Agreement shall be subject to reduction for any applicable employment or withholding taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, if You are a Specified Employee as of Your Termination of Employment, and if the amounts that You are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 6 or Section 9 are not otherwise exempt from Section 409A of the Code, then to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A, no payments for such amounts may be made under this Agreement (including, if necessary, any payments for welfare or other

 

17

 

benefits in which case You may be required to pay for such coverage or benefits and receive reimbursement when payment is no longer prohibited) before the first day of the seventh (7th) month after Your Termination of Employment or, if earlier, Your date of death (as applicable, the “Section 409A Delay Period”).  All such amounts that would have otherwise been required to be paid during the Section 409A Delay Period shall be paid to You in one lump sum payment as soon as administratively feasible (but no more than thirty (30) days) after the end of the Section 409A Delay Period.  All such remaining payments shall be made as if they had begun as set forth in this Agreement.  For purposes of this Agreement, Your rights to payments shall be treated as rights to receive a series of separate payments as described in Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-2(b)(2), for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance therewith.  The Company shall have the sole authority to make any accelerated distribution permissible under Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4) to You of deferred amounts, provided that such distribution meets the requirements of Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(j)(4). The Company may at any time amend, suspend or terminate this Agreement, or any payments to be made hereunder, as necessary to be in compliance with Section 409A of the Code to avoid the imposition on You of any potential excise taxes relating to Section 409A.

 

20.                               Non-Disparagement.  You further agree not to make any statement or take any action that criticizes or disparages the Company, any Released Party or their parents, subsidiaries or affiliates, their employees, officers, directors, representatives and agents, their management or their practices or that disrupts or impairs their normal operations; and the Company, the Released Parties and their parents, subsidiaries and affiliates agree not to make any statement or take any action that criticizes or disparages you, except that nothing in this letter agreement shall be interpreted to limit either of our rights to confer with counsel or to provide truthful testimony pursuant to subpoena, notice of deposition or as otherwise required by law.  This provision is in addition to, and not in lieu of, the substantive protections under applicable law relating to defamation, libel, slander, interference with contractual or business relationships, or other statutory, contractual, or tort theories.

LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of June 15, 2016 (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), between LADDER CAPITAL FINANCE I LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for itself to the extent of its interest and on behalf of Series TRS of Ladder Capital Finance I LLC, and SERIES TRS OF LADDER CAPITAL FINANCE I LLC, a Delaware series of Ladder Capital Finance I LLC, each having an address at 345 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10154 (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”) and ARC NYC1140SIXTH, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at c/o AR Global, 405 Park Avenue, 14th Floor, New York, New York 10022 (together with its successors and permitted assigns, “Borrower”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain the Loan from Lender; and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, represent and warrant as follows:

US\SANTORA\11385296.12

ARTICLE 1:  DEFINITIONS; PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION

Section 1.1
    Definitions.  For all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.

Section 1.2
    Principles of Construction.  All references to sections and schedules are to sections and schedules in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  Unless otherwise specified, the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement and the word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to”.  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.

ARTICLE 2:
      THE LOAN

Section 2.1
    The Loan.
2.1.1
    Agreement to Lend and Borrow.  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.
2.1.2
    The Note.  The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Consolidated, Amended and Restated Promissory Note of even date herewith in the stated principal amount of Ninety-Nine Million and No/100 Dollars ($99,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.
2.1.3
    Use of Proceeds.  Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property, (b) pay and discharge any existing loans, if any, relating to Borrower’s interest in the Property, (c) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Property, (d) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (e) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, and (f) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, as approved by Lender.  Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose.

Section 2.2
    Interest Rate.

2

2.2.1
    Interest Rate.  Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 hereof, the Outstanding Principal Balance shall bear interest throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2
    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, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall, at Lender’s election, accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date of the Event of Default.  Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect.
2.2.3
    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 (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance.  The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.
2.2.4
    Usury Savings.  The Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate.  If by the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by any Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.3
    Loan Payments; Term of Loan.
2.3.1
    Loan Payments Generally.  
(a)
    Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through and including the next succeeding fifth (5th) day of a calendar month, whether such fifth (5th) day shall occur in the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs or 

3

in the month immediately succeeding the month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the sixth (6th) day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due).  Each interest accrual period (the “Interest Period”) thereafter shall commence on the sixth (6th) day of each calendar month during the Term and shall end on and include the fifth (5th) day of the next occurring calendar month.
(b)
    On each Monthly Payment Date throughout the Term, Borrower shall make a payment to Lender monthly in arrears of interest accruing on the Outstanding Principal Balance during each Interest Period (each such payment, a “Monthly Debt Service Payment”), which payments shall be applied to accrued and unpaid interest.
(c)
    Lender shall have the right from time to time prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day which is not more than five (5) days earlier nor more than ten (10) days later than the sixth (6th) day of each calendar month; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period correspondingly.
2.3.2
    Payment on Maturity Date.  The Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents.
2.3.3
    Late Payment Charge.  If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by any Legal Requirements, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment.  Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4
    Method and Place of Payment.
(a)
    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or at such other place as Lender shall from time to time designate, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

4

(b)
    Whenever any payment to be made under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)
    All payments required to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

Section 2.4
    Prepayments.
2.4.1
    Voluntary Prepayments.  
(a)
    Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date.  Subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof, on the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date, and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole only with payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that, payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be required if the prepayment occurs on or after the Open Prepayment Date.  A notice of prepayment made under this Sections 2.4.1(a) or 2.4.1(b) may be revoked by Borrower if written notice of such revocation is delivered by Borrower to Lender on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the prepayment date set forth in the notice of prepayment.  If Borrower delivers to Lender notice of prepayment and subsequently revokes such notice prior to prepayment, Borrower shall promptly reimburse Lender for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including any reasonable attorneys’ fees) due to such revoked notice or otherwise in connection with the anticipated prepayment.
(b)
    On the Prepayment Lockout Expiration Date and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at Borrower’s option and upon not less than twenty (20) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in part in connection with (x) payment of a DSCR Remedial Payment Amount to effect a Cash Sweep Event Cure under clause (iii) of the definition of “Cash Sweep Event Cure” which amount Lender shall apply to the Outstanding Principal Balance or (y) payment of a DSCR Remedial RF Payment Amount to effect a cure of a Reserve Funds Trigger Period under clause (iii) of the definition of “Reserve Funds Trigger Period” which amount Lender shall apply to the Outstanding Principal Balance.  Any such prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4.1(b) shall include the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium; provided, however, that, payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be required if the prepayment occurs on or after the Open Prepayment Date.

5

(c)
    Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.1 shall be accompanied by (a) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Monthly Payment Date, through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date), (b) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, (c) the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, and (d) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.
2.4.2
    Mandatory Prepayments.  On the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, if Lender does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration, Lender shall, at its option, apply such Net Proceeds to the prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt in any order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion.  Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.2 shall be (a) subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof and (b) accompanied by (i) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date, (ii) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.  Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment premium or penalty shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
In the event that Lender applies the Net Proceeds to the prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance and such application shall result in a reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount greater than sixty percent (60%) of the Loan, then, subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than sixty (60) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the remaining Outstanding Principal Balance (such remaining Outstanding Principal Balance after application of the Net Proceeds to the Debt hereinafter, the “Remaining Principal Amount”) in whole only with payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium (which Yield Maintenance Premium, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be due only with respect to the Remaining Principal Amount); provided, however, payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium with respect to the Remaining Principal Amount shall not be required if the prepayment occurs on or after the Open Prepayment Date. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to the foregoing shall be accompanied by (a) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Monthly Payment Date, through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date), (b) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, (c) the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any is applicable, and (d) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.
2.4.3
    Prepayments After Default.  If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, prepayment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower (which tender may be rejected by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) or otherwise 

6

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 Monthly Payment Date and such prepayment shall be applied first to the Monthly Debt Service Payment due on such date and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, (i) the Yield Maintenance Premium on the Outstanding Principal Balance, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, as of the date such prepayment is deemed to have been paid to Lender (provided, however, no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment fee or penalty shall be required to be paid in connection with a prepayment made on or after the Open Prepayment Date), (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date, (iii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the final sale of the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction, Hedge Losses, (iv) all other sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (v) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.

Section 2.5
    Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.6
    Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.7
    REMIC Test on Property Release.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and (a) any portion of the Property is sought to be released from the Lien of the Mortgage, whether in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation or otherwise (but not including a release of the Property upon the full payment of the Loan), and (b) immediately after any such release the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property (but, in the case of a Casualty or Condemnation, taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property) is greater than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust, it being understood that Lender shall not require a new or updated appraisal to make such determination so long as there is another commercially reasonable valuation method available to Lender, which may include a buyer’s purchase price in the case of a contemporaneous arm’s length sale and assumption of the Loan or a broker’s price opinion so long as such method is a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted to a REMIC Trust, as determined in Lender’s sole discretion), the Outstanding Principal Balance must first be paid down by a “qualified amount” as such term is defined in Internal Revenue Service Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be modified, supplemented, superseded or amended from time to time (regardless of whether Borrower or Lender actually receive or are entitled to receive any related Net Proceeds in the case of a Casualty or Condemnation), unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that, if the foregoing prepayment is not made, the applicable REMIC Trust will neither fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code or be subject to any tax, in either case, as a result of such release.  If and to the extent the release is in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation, and if 

7

Borrower shall have otherwise satisfied each of the conditions to release of Net Proceeds as set forth in Section 5.3, only such amount of the Net Proceeds then held or controlled by Lender, if any, in excess of the “qualified amount” required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released as otherwise expressly provided in Section 5.3.  Any prepayment made under this Section 2.7 shall be accompanied by payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium, except that (i) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment fee or penalty shall be due in connection with any such prepayment made by reason of a release in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation and (ii) no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment fee or penalty shall be due in connection with any such prepayment made on or after the Open Prepayment Date.  Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with confirming compliance with or enforcing the terms and provisions of this Section 2.7.

There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property any act or omission which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause Borrower to forfeit the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  Except as otherwise disclosed to Lender in the Zoning Report, in the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto existing as of the date hereof and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits.  No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property.  Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property.  The

    If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, during the continuance of any such default, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its Obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, upon prior written notice to Borrower, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. Lender hereby agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with Borrower on a non-binding basis prior to Lender exercising Lender’s rights set forth in this clause (c).

(e)
    Borrower shall not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s interest in all or any part of the Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of Lender shall have been first had and obtained, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.
(f)
    Each Lease hereafter entered into by Borrower shall provide that (i) in the event of the termination of the Ground Lease, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee thereunder; (ii) in the event of any action for the foreclosure of the Mortgage, the Lease shall not terminate or be terminable by the lessee thereunder by reason of the termination of the Ground Lease unless such lessee is specifically named and joined in any such action and unless a judgment is obtained therein against such lessee; and (iii) in the event that the Ground Lease is terminated as aforesaid, the lessee under the Lease shall attorn to the lessor under the Ground Lease or to the purchaser at the sale of the Property on such foreclosure, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to condemnation awards only, the determination of the Ground Lease Proceeds Deficiency amount shall not include any condemnation awards paid to Ground Lessor which are 

32

solely related to Ground Lessor’s ownership of the fee interest in the Property (as opposed to any condemnation awards related to Borrower’s leasehold interest in the Property which are required by the terms of the Ground Lease to be delivered to Ground Lessor or any fee mortgagee of Ground Lessor’s interest in the Property) (the “Ground Lessor Award Amount”) and Borrower’s obligations to deposit the Ground Lease Proceeds Deficiency shall not include the Ground Lessor Award Amount and the Ground Lease Proceeds Deficiency shall not include the Ground Lessor Award Amount.

    at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the property and liability insurance coverage forms do not otherwise apply, coverage all in form and substance and with limits, terms and conditions acceptable to Lender including (A) commercial general liability and umbrella insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this Section 5.1.1(a); and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form, including coverage for one hundred percent (100%) of the total insurable costs of construction (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsections (i), (iii), (vi), (x) and Section 5.1.1(h), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v)
    workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with limits which are required from time to time by Lender in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi)
    boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown insurance in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance Policy required under subsection (i) above (if applicable);
(vii)
    umbrella liability insurance in addition to primary coverage in an amount not less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) and, if applicable, the Policies required in subsection (v) above and (viii) below;
(viii)
    commercial auto liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, with limits which are reasonably required from time to time by Lender (if applicable); and

42

(ix)
    upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b)
    All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender as to form and substance including deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (and, upon the written request of Lender, certification letters from Borrower and Borrower’s insurance broker attesting to the accuracy of the certificates of insurance regarding the amounts of insurance, perils insured and applicable deductibles) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c)
    Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a).  Lender shall have determined based on a review of the schedule of locations and values that the amount of such coverage is sufficient in light of the other risks and properties insured under the blanket policy. To the extent the Policy covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth in this Section 5.1.1(c) for the Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis.
(d)
    All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall name Borrower as a named insured and, in the case of liability coverages (except for the Policies referenced in Sections 5.1.1(a)(v) and (viii)) shall name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property insurance coverages, including but not limited to boiler and machinery, terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee/lender’s loss payable clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.  Additionally, if Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee/lender’s loss payable clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e)
    All property insurance Policies provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall:
(i)
    provide that no act or negligence of Borrower or any other insured under the Policy, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a 

43

forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)
    provide that the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of Insurance Premiums and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii)
    not contain any provision that would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, except that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums pursuant to the mortgagee clause required herein.
(f)
    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, or Borrower shall fail to deliver certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation evidencing  the Policies, evidence of payment and any other information required by Section 5.1.1(b), no less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any Policies, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all Insurance Premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(g)
    In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(h)
    If any of the all risk/special form property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability or umbrella Policies include any exclusions for loss, cost, damage or liability caused by “terrorism” or “terrorist acts”, Borrower shall obtain and maintain terrorism coverage to cover such exclusion(s) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 (a “Qualified Carrier”) or, in the event that such terrorism coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such terrorism coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such terrorism coverage; provided, however, if the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program 

44

Reauthorization Act of 2015 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or extended), or a similar or subsequent statute is not in effect, then, Borrower shall be required to carry terrorism insurance throughout the Term as required by the this sentence, but in such event Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two (2) times the amount of the Insurance Premiums that are payable at such time in respect of the property and rental loss and/or business income insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism components of such property and rental loss and/or business income insurance), and if the cost of terrorism insurance exceeds such amount, Borrower shall purchase the maximum amount of terrorism insurance available with funds equal to such amount.
5.1.22
    Insurance Company.  All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a) (a) shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the State with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P; (b) shall, with respect to the property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability and umbrella Policies, contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (c) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies; and (d) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by Lender (which such approval shall not unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed) as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  Evidence of coverage shall be delivered to Lender, at 345 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York  10154, Attention:  Kelly Porcella, with respect to all renewal Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies; provided, however, if copies of the current Policies are not available on the date of request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender documentation acceptable to Lender evidencing such Policies within five (5) days of receipt of a request thereof and shall deliver to Lender complete copies of such Policies within ten (10) days after such Policies are available.  Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof).  In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1(a) above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.  Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

Section 5.2
    Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1
    Casualty.  If the Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such 

45

Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, regardless of whether Insurance Proceeds are available or made available, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty.  Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, submit proof of loss if not submitted promptly by Borrower.  In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner.  In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments; provided, however, if Borrower fails to settle and adjust such claim within sixty (60) days after the Casualty, Lender shall have the right to settle and adjust such claim at Borrower’s cost and without Borrower’s consent (provided that if Borrower has commenced the settlement and adjustment of such claim within the sixty (60) day period after the Casualty and thereafter diligently pursued the same, Lender shall not exercise such right to settle and adjust the claim until one hundred eighty (180) days after the Casualty so long as during the entirety of such period no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower shall continue to diligently pursue the settlement and adjustment of such claim).  Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.
5.2.2
    Condemnation.  Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner.  In the event a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If the Property or any portion thereof is 

46

taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property, regardless of whether an Award is available or made available, and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3.  If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
5.2.3
    Casualty Proceeds.
(a)
    Subject to Section 5.2.3(b), payments received on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 5.1.1(a)(iii) above shall be deposited directly into the Casualty and Condemnation Account.  Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, proceeds received by Lender on account of business or rental interruption or other loss of income insurance specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above shall be deposited by Lender into the Cash Management Account (in installments relating to the relevant period) to the extent such proceeds (or a portion thereof) reflect a replacement for lost Rents for the relevant period, as determined by Lender in good faith, and such proceeds shall be applied by Lender in accordance with Section 6.11 hereof.  All other such proceeds not reflecting a replacement for lost Rents shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.  
(b)
    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied repay the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay off the Debt in full.

Section 5.3
    Delivery of Net Proceeds.
5.3.1
    Minor Casualty or Condemnation.  If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and that the condition in Section 2.7 hereof has been satisfied, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower.  Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, 

47

such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held for the benefit of Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
5.3.2
    Major Casualty or Condemnation.
(c)
    If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Property and the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions precedent are satisfied:
(i)
    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii)
    (A) in the event the Net Proceeds consists of Insurance Proceeds received in connection with a Casualty, then (1) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty and (2) Legal Requirements permit the restoration of the damaged, destroyed or unusable Improvements at the Property to substantially the same configuration and occupancy that existed immediately preceding such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award received in connection with a Condemnation, then less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property;
(iii)
    [intentionally omitted];
(iv)
    the Ground Lease and the Management Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(v)
    intentionally omitted;
(vi)
    Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs (or such later date if Borrower is continuously, diligently and in good faith pursuing such commencement (but in no event no later than one-hundred eighty (180) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable)) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

48

(vii)
    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest due and payable under the Note during the period of Restoration will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Borrower;
(viii)
    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to substantially the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, or as otherwise reasonably approved by Lender, as applicable, or (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), without giving effect to any extended period of indemnity endorsement in respect of such coverage;
(ix)
    the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(x)
    the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in a commercially reasonable and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(xi)
    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(xii)
    Borrower shall deliver to Lender a signed, detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion;
(xiii)
    the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration;
(xiv)
    the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall not be less than 1.50 to 1.00;
(xv)
     the Loan to Value Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall not be greater than sixty percent (60)%; and

49

(xvi)
    the condition set forth in Section 2.7 hereof shall have been satisfied.
(d)
    The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender from the Casualty and Condemnation Account to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) 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 (iii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanics’ or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration 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 issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(e)
    All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”).  The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, provided the Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable.  Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are substantially restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Lender (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and the Casualty Consultant.  All reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(f)
    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, less the Casualty Retainage.  The term 

50

“Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the 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 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender shall release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) 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 (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the 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.
(g)
    Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(h)
    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are reasonably estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account 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 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(i)
    Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed 

51

in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Section 6.11.1; provided, however, the amount of such excess so deposited in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in subsection 5.3.2(h).
(j)
    All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower (or deposited in the Cash Management Account) as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment premium or penalty shall be payable with respect to the application of Net Proceeds in accordance with this Section 5.3.2(h).

ARTICLE 6:
      CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS

Section 6.1
    Cash Management Arrangements.  Borrower shall cause all Rents and other Gross Revenue (other than payments received on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 5.1.1(a)(iii), which shall be governed by Section 5.2.3) to be transmitted by Tenants of the Property directly into a trust account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in and pursuant to the Clearing Account Agreement.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, from and after the date hereof, Borrower shall notify and advise each Tenant under each Lease (whether such Lease is presently effective or executed after the date hereof) to send directly to the Clearing Account all payments of Rent pursuant to an instruction letter in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (a “Tenant Direction Letter”).  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered a Tenant Direction Letter to each Tenant under each presently effective Lease.  
Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Cash Management Bank controlled by Lender (the “Cash Management Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement.  Funds in the Cash Management Account may be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement.  As an alternative to establishing each Account required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a separate Eligible Account, Lender may also establish or cause to be established subaccounts of the Cash Management Account or the other Accounts described herein which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) whereupon all provisions of this Agreement referring to (i) any Account shall be deemed to apply instead to the corresponding subaccount and (ii) to the Accounts generally shall be deemed to apply instead to the Cash Management Account or any other Account described herein.  The Clearing Account, 

52

the Cash Management Account and all other Accounts shall be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom.  Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.  In the event of a resignation by Clearing Bank, Borrower shall, promptly after receipt of notice of such resignation, designate a successor to Clearing Bank, which successor shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender, and shall cause the execution of a replacement Clearing Account Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and deliver Tenant Direction Letters to all Tenants in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 6.1.  

Section 6.2
    Required Repairs Funds.
6.2.3
    Deposit of Required Repairs Funds.  Borrower shall perform the repairs and other work at the Property as set forth on Schedule V attached hereto (such repairs and other work hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) and shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the respective deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule V.  On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited with or on behalf of Lender the amount, if any, set forth on such Schedule V to perform the Required Repairs (the “Required Repairs Funds”), which Required Repairs Funds shall be transferred by or at the direction of Lender into an Account established to hold such funds (the “Required Repairs Account”).  Lender’s decision of whether or not to collect Required Repairs Funds in connection with any particular Required Repairs shall not reduce Borrower’s obligation to complete such Required Repair.
6.2.4
    Release of Required Repairs Funds.
(a)
    Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, disburse the Required Repairs Funds to Borrower out of the Required Repairs Account upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the Reserve Disbursement Conditions with respect to each such disbursement.  Lender shall not be required to disburse Required Repairs Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, and each disbursement of Required Repairs Funds must be in an amount not less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of Required Repairs Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made).  Upon Borrower’s completion of all Required Repairs in accordance with this Section 6.2, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, deposit any remaining Required Repairs Funds held in the Required Repairs Account into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Section 6.11.1.

(i)
    if Lender reasonably determines that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans, as of the cut-off date for such Securitization, may equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization, net operating income for the Property and the Related Properties for the most recent fiscal year and interim period if required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB (or, if the Loan is not treated as a non-recourse loan under Instruction 3 for Item 1101(k) of Regulation AB, selected financial data meeting the requirements and covering the time periods specified in Item 301 of Regulation S-K and Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB), or

70

of Regulation S-X have been met, the financial statements required by Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X)).
(m)
    Further, if requested by Lender pursuant to a requirement under Regulation AB, Borrower shall, promptly upon Lender’s request, furnish to Lender financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, for any Tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, as of the cutoff date for such Securitization, a concentration with respect to such Tenant or group of Affiliated Tenants within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization such that such Tenant or group of Affiliated Tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

(o)
    Any financial data or financial statements provided pursuant to this Section 9.1 shall be furnished to Lender within the following time periods (or such later date as required to comply with Regulation AB):

    If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly, and in any event within three (3) Business Days following Lender’s request therefor, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation S-K or Regulation S-X, as applicable, Regulation AB, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
(q)
    If requested by Lender, whether in connection with a Securitization or at any time thereafter during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, a list of Tenants (including all affiliates of such Tenants) that in the aggregate (1) occupy ten percent (10%) or more (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the total floor area of the improvements or represent ten percent (10%) or more (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of aggregate base rent, and (2) occupy twenty percent (20%) or more of the total floor area of the improvements or represent twenty percent (20%) or more of aggregate base rent.

All other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.

Section 9.2
    Securitization Indemnification.
(h)
    Borrower understands and agrees that information provided to Lender by Borrower or its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with 

72

a 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”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the NRSROs, investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to a Securitization.
(i)
    Borrower hereby agrees (i) to indemnify Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to a Securitization or has acted as the issuer, sponsor, depositor or seller in connection with a Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, any other issuers, depositors, underwriters, placement agents or initial purchasers of Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, and each Person that controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) for any losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property (or any portion thereof), any Affiliated Manager, Guarantor or ARCNYC REIT, contained in the information provided to Lender by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives (collectively, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such Covered Disclosure Information or necessary in order to make the statements in such Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and/or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.40 of this Agreement and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender (1) in connection with the preparation of the Covered Disclosure Information or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property; provided, further, however, Borrower shall have no liability for any information set forth in any third-party reports or any statements or other information made or prepared by third parties not Affiliated with Borrower (unless Borrower has actual knowledge that such information is not true and correct in any material respect).  The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement is executed and delivered by Borrower.  Any indemnity set forth in this Section 9.2(b) shall, in all events, be limited to the Covered Disclosure Information and shall only be effective to the extent that Lender accurately states the Covered Disclosure Information in the applicable 

73

Disclosure Document. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(j)
    In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that are required to be made available to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or other applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower shall (i) indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender (1) in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities.
(k)
    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a claim or the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person under this Section 9.2 except to the extent that failure to notify materially prejudices Borrower.  In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.  After notice from Borrower to such Indemnified Person of Borrower’s election to assume the defense of such action with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall pay for any reasonable legal or other related expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if (x) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and Borrower and (y) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower that would give rise to an actual or potential conflict of interest or ethical violation were the Indemnified Persons represented by the same counsel as the Borrower, then (1) 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 (provided that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Borrower’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonable withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (2) Borrower shall be liable for the expenses of any such separate counsel; provided however, Borrower shall only be liable for the expenses of no more than two (2) separate counsels selected by the Indemnified Persons in accordance with the foregoing. 

74

(l)
    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which any indemnification or reimbursement under this Section 9.2 is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an Indemnified Person in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to herein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 9.2, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act), gross negligence or willful misconduct shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered:  (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.  Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

    Without limiting the generality of this Section 9.2, Borrower hereby agrees (i) to indemnify the Indemnified Persons against any Liabilities to which any Indemnified Persons may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies engaged to rate any Securitization holding all or a portion of the Loan in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the information provided to Lender or one or more of the NRSROs by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives, and/or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and/or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.40 of this Agreement and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses actually incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending such Liabilities; provided, however, that, other than in connection with information provided by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives directly to one or more of the NRSROs, Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender (1) in connection with the issuance, monitoring or maintenance of the Securities or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property.

(n)
    For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, “Indemnified Persons” shall include the initial named Lender hereunder and each other Lender that has held a direct interest in the Loan at any time during the Term, including prior to the occurrence of the act or omission giving rise to the applicable Liabilities.
(o)
    The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Obligations.

    Severance Documentation.  Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction in respect of all or any portion of the Loan), to modify, split and/or sever the Loan (including the Note) one or more times in order to (a) create (i) one or more new loans (including first and second mortgage loans), (ii) one or more new notes (including senior and junior notes (i.e., A/B and A/B/C structure)), (iii) multiple components of the Note or Notes and/or (iv) one or more mezzanine loans (a “New Mezzanine Loan”) (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure and the organizational documents of Borrower and its direct and indirect shareholders, partners, members and non-member managers to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), (b) reduce the number of loans, notes and/or components, (c) revise the interest rates of the loans, notes and/or components, (d) allocate and reallocate the principal balances of the loans, notes and/or components, (e) increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for the loans, notes and/or components, (f) eliminate the multiple loan, note and/or component structure (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments) or (g) otherwise achieve the optimum execution for a Secondary Market Transaction; provided, however, that in modifying, splitting and/or severing the Loan as provided above (1) Borrower shall not be required to modify the Stated Maturity Date, (2) the aggregate principal amount of all such loans, notes and/or components shall, on the date created, equal the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to the creation of such loans, notes and/or components, (3) the weighted average interest rate of all such loans, notes and/or components shall, at all times, equal the interest rate applicable to the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such loans, notes and/or components (except that the weighted average interest rate may subsequently increase due to the effect of amortization and/or in connection with prepayments made in accordance with Section 2.4.1(b) hereof or following a Casualty or Condemnation that results in a payment of principal under the Note or component note or an Event of Default), (4) the scheduled debt service payments on all such loans, notes and/or components shall, on the date created, equal the scheduled debt service payments under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such loans, notes and/or components, and (5) Borrower’s and Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents and Lender’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents shall not be increased in any material respect and Borrower’s and Guarantor’s rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and Lender’s obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents shall not be decreased in any material respect.  At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions.  Lender shall have the right to modify, split and/or sever the Loan in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification, split and/or severance shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.  If requested 

76

by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents reasonably necessary to effect any such modification, split and/or severance including, without limitation, an amendment to the Cash Management Agreement to reflect the newly created loans, notes and/or components, provided that such amendment shall comply with all of the terms of this Section 9.3.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect and modification, split and/or severance as described in this Section 9.3, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power unless Borrower shall fail to execute such documents within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s request.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lender’s right to create a New Mezzanine Loan as set forth above shall be subject to the prior approval of Borrower, which approval may be granted or withheld at Borrower’s sole discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to reimburse Borrower for costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Borrower in connection with Sections 9.1 and 9.3 that are in excess of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate, provided that (i) such costs and expenses are actually incurred by Borrower and (ii) Borrower’s demand for such reimbursement is accompanied by invoices or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of amounts expended by Borrower that are to be reimbursed hereunder.

(vii)
    if any monthly installment of principal and/or interest due under the Note or any payment of Reserve Funds due under this Agreement or the payment of the Obligations due on the Maturity Date is not paid when due (provided, however, that if no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and adequate funds have been allocated pursuant to Section 6.11.1 for payment of any required monthly installment of principal, interest and required deposit of Reserve Funds, the failure by Cash Management Bank to disburse any payments due to Lender and/or allocate such funds to the appropriate Reserve Account in violation of the Loan Documents shall not constitute an Event of Default);
(viii)
    if any other portion of the Obligations (other than as set forth in the foregoing 

77

clause (i)) is not paid when due and such non-payment continues for five (5) days following written notice to Borrower that the same is due and payable;
(ix)
    if any of the Taxes or Other Charges are not paid when due (provided, however, that if no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and adequate funds are on deposit in the Tax Account for payment of any required Taxes or Other Charges then due and payable, the failure by Lender or its agent to cause such payments to be made shall not constitute an Event of Default);
(x)
    if (A) the Policies are not kept in full force and effect or (B) evidence of same is not delivered to Lender as required pursuant to Section 5.1.1(b) hereof within five (5) days after Lender notifies Borrower of such failure, each in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof;
(xi)
    subject to the provisions of Article 8 hereof, if Borrower breaches or permits or suffers a breach of the provisions of Section 4.2.1; provided, however, that any such breach shall not be an Event of Default if such breach (A) is not intentional, (B) shall not have had a Material Adverse Effect, and (C) relates solely to a failure to deliver any notice required to be delivered pursuant to the terms and provisions of Article 8;

In such event, Borrower shall have a period of thirty (30) days following written notice thereof to Borrower to undertake and complete all action necessary to make such representation or warranty, true and correct in all material respects; provided, further, that if the same cannot be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Borrower commences to take action to cure such breach within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, Borrower shall have such time as is reasonably necessary to effect such cure, but in no event in excess of an additional ninety (90) days; it being understood that Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from any costs, expenses, damages or losses that Lender may incur or suffer as a result of the permitted cure rights set forth in this clause (vi);
(xiii)
    (A) if Borrower shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or (B) upon the declaration by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion that the same constitutes an Event of Default, if Guarantor shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors;

(xvii)
    if Borrower breaches any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Sections 3.1.24 or 4.1.15 hereof or on Schedule III attached hereto; provided, however, such violation or breach shall not constitute an Event of Default in the event that (A) such violation or breach is not intentional, (B) such violation or breach is immaterial, (C) such violation 

79

or breach shall be remedied in a timely and expedient manner and in any event within not more than sixty (60) days, and (D) within fifteen (15) Business Days following the request of Lender, but not prior to the date on which such violation or breach shall have been remedied in accordance with the immediately foregoing clause (C), Borrower delivers to Lender a substantive non-consolidation opinion, or a modification of the Insolvency Opinion, to the effect that such breach or violation shall not in any way impair, negate or adversely change the opinions rendered in the Insolvency Opinion, which opinion or modification and any counsel delivering such opinion or modification shall be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion;

(xxii)
    subject to a force majeure event, if Borrower ceases to continuously operate the Property or any material portion thereof as an office building for any reason whatsoever (other than temporary cessation in connection with any alteration, repair, renovation or restoration thereof undertaken with the prior written consent of Lender, and cessations of 

80

operations on portions of the Property permanently taken by condemnation) and Borrower fails to re-commence such continuous operations within twenty (20) days of such cessation of continuous operations;

(xxv)
    if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement not specified in subsections (i) to (xviii) above, (A) for ten (10) days after notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or (B) for thirty (30) days after the earlier of (1) Borrower’s knowledge thereof and (2) notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such 30-day period; and provided, further, that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such 30-day period and shall thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceed to cure the same, such 30-day period shall be extended for such additional time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such Default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days;

(xxviii)
    if at any time the Property fails to either have a validly issued (unexpired) TCO or a New PCO, as applicable. 
(q)
    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, 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 Borrower and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above, the Debt and all other Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Yield Maintenance Premium, if applicable, shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 10.2
    Remedies.
(i)
    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations 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 the Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) to the extent permitted by law, 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 Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.

82

(j)
    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose 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 principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(k)
    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall only have the right to make or execute any such documents under such power of attorney in connection with Lender’s exercise of its remedies under this Agreement following an acceleration of the Loan.  Borrower shall be obligated to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording and filing of the Severed Loan Documents.  The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(l)
    Any amounts recovered from the Property 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, including, without limitation, the Yield Maintenance Premium, if applicable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.

Section 10.3
    Lender’s Right to Perform.  During the continuation of any Event of Default, if Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided under any of the Loan Documents or releasing Borrower from any covenant or obligation under the Loan 

83

Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all out-of-pocket costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.

Section 10.4
    Remedies Cumulative.  The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.  Nothing contained herein or in the other Loan Documents shall be construed to grant Borrower any right to cure an Event of Default and each Event of Default shall continue unless and until the same is waived by Lender in writing in its sole and absolute discretion in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

      MISCELLANEOUS

Section 11.1
    Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations.  Except as expressly permitted under Section 8.1, Borrower may not assign, transfer or delegate its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without Lender’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void.  Lender may assign, pledge, participate, transfer or delegate, as applicable, to one or more Persons, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents.  The assigning Lender shall have no further obligations under the Loan Documents from and after the date of any such assignment or transfer with respect to matters first arising from and after the date of any such assignment or transfer.  In connection with any such assignment, pledge, participation, transfer or delegation, Lender may disclose to the assignee, pledgee, participant, transferee or delegee or proposed assignee, pledgee, participant, transferee or delegee, as the case may be, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates or to any aspect of the Loan that has been furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be substituted therefor, which such decision shall be based upon Lender’s reasonable determination of Rating Agency criteria (unless Lender has an independent approval right in respect of the matter at issue pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in which case the discretion afforded to Lender in connection with such independent approval right shall apply instead).

Section 11.4
    Modification, Waiver in Writing.  No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party or parties against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the specific purpose, for which given.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

Section 11.5
    Delay Not a Waiver.  Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege under any Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.  In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.  Lender shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that Lender is entitled to under the Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion.

BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

Section 11.9
    Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under any Legal Requirements, 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 11.10
    Preferences.  Following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or in connection with any bankruptcy proceedings, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder.  To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, federal, state, local or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof 

88

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 11.11
    Waiver of Notice.  Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which the Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.  Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which the Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 11.12
    Remedies of Borrower.  In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under the Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 11.13
    Expenses; Indemnity.  
(i)
    Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all actual, reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) unless otherwise specified herein, Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to the Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or Guarantor; (iv) 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 the Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, the Loan Documents, the Property or any other security given for the Loan; (vi) enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents or with respect to the 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 Bankruptcy Action; and (vii) protecting Lender’s 

89

interest in the Property or any other security given for the Loan; provided, however, Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s election in its sole discretion upon prior notice to Borrower unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case such prior notice shall not be required, from any amounts in the Cash Management Account.
(j)
    Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any Lender Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Lender Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Lender Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any default or breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, the Loan Documents; (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan in violation of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) [intentionally omitted]; (iv) ownership of the Mortgage, the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Property or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Property; (viii) any failure of the Property to comply with any Legal Requirement; (ix) any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving the Property or any part thereof, or any liability asserted against such Lender Indemnified Party with respect thereto; and (x) the claims of any lessee of any portion of the Property or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise (i) from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnified Parties, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (ii) after a foreclosure or Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure in respect of all or any portion of the Property securing the Loan (as to the Property or portion thereof so foreclosed), so long as such Indemnified Liabilities do not result from (x) any act or circumstance occurring prior to such foreclosure or Lender’s acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, as applicable, or (y) any act of Borrower or any of its agents, Affiliates or employees.  To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnified Parties.  The provisions of Section 11.13(a) and this Section 11.13(b) shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage.

90

(k)
    Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower hereby agrees to pay for or, if Borrower’s fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees imposed, and costs and expenses incurred, by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees, costs and expenses as a condition precedent to obtaining any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 11.14
    Schedules 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 11.15
    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims and defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 11.16
    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)
    Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under the Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)
    The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender 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 (and disburse Reserve Funds) 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 make 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, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 11.17
    Intentionally Omitted.

91

Section 11.18
    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.  To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 11.19
    Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims.  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 or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents.  No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.20
    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.  The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.  Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender.  Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.  Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 11.21
    Brokers and Financial Advisors.
(a)
    Borrower hereby represents that, except for HFF, Inc. (“Broker”), it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Borrower will pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement.  Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and 

92

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 (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.  The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.  For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnity set forth in this Section 11.21 shall inure to the benefit of each Lender that has held an interest in the Loan at any time during the Term, including the initial named Lender hereunder.
(b)
    Lender may pay additional compensation, fees, commissions or other payments to Broker relating to the origination, sale and/or securitization of the Loan, in addition to any other compensation, fees, commissions or other payments which may be paid by Borrower or any other party directly to Broker.  Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the payment of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments are in addition to any other compensation, fees, commissions or other payments which may be paid by Borrower or any other party directly to Broker, (ii) the payment of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments may create a potential conflict of interest for Broker in its relationship with Borrower, and Lender is not responsible for any recommendation, services or advice given to Borrower by Broker, and (iii) no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or will exist between Borrower and Lender other than as lender and borrower.  Borrower (A) acknowledges that (1) such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments may include a direct, one-time payment of an origination or similar fee, certain payments based on volume and/or size of referrals, profit-sharing payments and/or an ongoing financial interest in the Loan (including by acting as sub-servicer for the Loan) and (2) Borrower has had an opportunity to discuss the specifics of any compensation, fees, commissions or other payments with Broker to the extent Borrower deemed necessary and Borrower has independently determined to proceed with the Loan and (B) consents to any such arrangement and the payment by Lender to Broker of any such compensation, fees, commissions or other payments.

Section 11.22
    Exculpation.  Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against 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 Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Gross Revenue, 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 Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Gross Revenue and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower or Guarantor (whose liability shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Guaranty) in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section 11.22 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced 

93

or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or 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 to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage (in which event such deficiency judgment shall be used solely to realize on such collateral) or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any 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)
    [intentionally omitted];

(vi)
    the failure to (A) pay Taxes or (B) obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, provided that Borrower shall not be liable to the extent (i) Gross Revenue from the Property is insufficient to pay the same or (ii) funds to pay for Taxes or Insurance Premiums, as applicable, are available in the Tax Account or the Insurance Account, as applicable, and Lender failed to pay the same;
(vii)
    following (A) any Casualty or Condemnation, any increased costs of any Restoration required to comply with applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, applicable building and zoning codes, and (B) any Casualty, failure of the Improvements to be legally permitted to be restored to the same value, same size (including, without limitation, net rentable square footage) and same character as prior to the Casualty;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement 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 Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents and (B) the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that any of the following occur:

(4)     Borrower grants a voluntary Lien (other than a Lien resulting from the failure to pay charges for labor or materials or a Lien related to an easement or restrictive covenant that benefits the Property or the operation of the business contemplated thereon) encumbering the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein in violation of the Loan Documents;
