The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.  Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or the actual number of days and a three hundred sixty-five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.  
(e)    This Agreement and the other 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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.  All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.6.    Loan Payments.
(a)    Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from (and including) the Closing Date through (but excluding) the sixth (6th) day of either (i) the month in which the Closing Date occurs (if such Closing Date is after the first day of such month, but prior to the sixth (6th) day of such month) or (ii) if the Closing Date is after the sixth (6th) day of the then current calendar month, the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs; provided, however, if the Closing Date is the sixth (6th) day of a calendar month, no such separate payment of interest shall be due.  Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the First Monthly Payment Date and on each Monthly Payment Date occurring thereafter to and including the Maturity Date.  Each payment shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal and each payment shall be applied to each Note on a pro rata basis.
(b)    Provided no Event of Default shall exist, all payments of interest shall be applied to each Note pro rata and pari passu.
(c)    Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(d)    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 applicable law 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 Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.
(e)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 3:00 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, 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.
(f)    Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be deemed to be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(g)    All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other 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 2.7.    Prepayments.
(a)    Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the other terms and provisions of this Section 2.7 and Section 7.4 hereof), Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part.  Prior to December 6, 2026 (such period from and after December 6, 2026, the “Open Prepayment Period”), Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole (and not in part except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) on any Business Day together with payment to Lender of the Yield Maintenance Premium.  On and after the first Business Day of the Open Prepayment Period, Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon ten (10) days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion or as otherwise may be provided herein), prepay the Debt in whole or in part on any Business Day without payment of any prepayment premium or penalty (including, without limitation, any Yield Maintenance Premium).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall have the right to make a prepayment in part in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7(a) in order to cure a Trigger Period pursuant to clause (A)(ii) in the definition thereof, but subject to the terms and conditions of the definition of Trigger Period and other provisions of this Agreement.  Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the end of the Interest Accrual Period during which such payment is made (such amounts, the “Interest Shortfall”) and such amounts (i.e., principal and interest prepaid by Borrower) shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution, with interest accruing on such amounts to the benefit of Borrower; such amounts prepaid shall be applied to the Loan on the next Monthly Payment Date, with any interest on such funds paid to Borrower on such date provided no Event of Default then exists.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 7.4 hereof, then either (I) Lender shall remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower and Borrower shall prepay the Debt or (II) Lender shall apply such Net Proceeds as a prepayment of the Debt, together with any applicable Interest Shortfall, if any.  Borrower shall make the payment pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereof as and to the extent required therein.  No prepayment premium or penalty (including, without limitation, any Yield Maintenance Premium) shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) (including, without limitation, in connection with any payment pursuant to Section 7.3(b) hereof).  Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing, Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date, with any interest on such funds paid to Borrower on such date provided no Event of Default then exists.
(c)    Without limitation of the foregoing, if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (i) payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower (voluntarily or involuntarily), a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, (ii) Lender obtains a recovery of all or a portion of the Debt (through an exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or otherwise) or (iii) the Debt is deemed satisfied (in whole or in part) through an exercise of remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or at law, the Yield Maintenance Premium, if prior to the Open Prepayment Period, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents, shall be deemed due and payable hereunder.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any prepayment of the Debt after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be applied to the Debt in such order and priority as may be determined by Lender in its sole discretion.
(d)    Provided no Event of Default shall exist, all payments of principal and interest shall be applied to each Note pro rata and pari passu.

Section 2.8.    Defeasance.
(a)    Conditions to Defeasance.  (i)  Provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Lockout Expiration Date and prior to the Open Prepayment Period and without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium to voluntarily defease the entire Loan and obtain an assignment or release of the lien of the Security Instrument by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (hereinafter, a “Defeasance Event”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
		
	(A)
	Borrower shall provide Lender not less than thirty (30) days’ prior, written notice, which notice shall specify a date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;

		
	(B)
	Borrower shall pay to Lender (1) all accrued and unpaid payments of principal and interest due on the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date and (2) all other sums then due under Note A-1, Note A-2, Note A-3, this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents;

		
	(C)
	Borrower shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 2.8(c) hereof;

		
	(D)
	Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral;

		
	(E)
	Borrower shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in commercial defeasance transactions, and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions, opining, among other things, that (A) Lender has a legal and valid perfected security interest in the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (B) if a Securitization has occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the IRS Code as a result of a Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.8, (C) the Defeasance Event will not result in a deemed exchange for purposes of the IRS Code and will not adversely affect the status of the Note as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes, and (D) delivery of the Defeasance Collateral and the grant of a security interest therein to Lender shall not constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law;

		
	(F)
	Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.8 have been satisfied;

		
	(G)
	Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a nationally recognized public accounting firm or other independent certified public accountant that is reasonably acceptable to Lender certifying that the Defeasance Collateral will generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;

		
	(H)
	Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, documents, and instruments customary in connection with a defeasance as Lender may reasonably request; and

		
	(I)
	Borrower shall pay all reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender actually incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including Lender’s reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and expenses.

(ii)    If Borrower has elected to defease the Notes and the requirements of this Section 2.8 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents (or the Notes and the Security Instrument shall be assigned pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 2.9 below he Property shall be released from the lien of the Security Instrument and other Loan Documents).  Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Notes.  In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) days prior to the Defeasance Date, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender.  Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard and customary provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender.  Except with respect to repayments, prepayments or defeasance set forth in Section 2.6(c), Section 2.7 and this Section 2.8 or any other specific provisions in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary, no repayment, prepayment or defeasance of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the lien of the Security Instrument on the Property.
(b)    Defeasance Collateral Account.  On or before the date on which Borrower delivers the Defeasance Collateral, Borrower shall open at any Eligible Institution, selected by Borrower,  the defeasance collateral account (the “Defeasance Collateral Account”), which shall at all times be an Eligible Account.  The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral.  All cash from interest and principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date in an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount and be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to principal.  Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay the Scheduled Defeasance Payments shall be retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for the Loan.  Borrower shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter into an agreement with Borrower and Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement.  Borrower or Successor Borrower, as applicable, shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account.  Borrower shall pay all cost and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral Account.  Lender shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.
(c)    Successor Borrower.  In connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.8, Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Notes and the Security Agreement and related documents with respect to the Defeasance Collateral and Defeasance Collateral Account, together with the Defeasance Collateral, to a newly-created successor entity, which entity shall be a single purpose, bankruptcy remote entity with at least two (2) Independent Directors, such entity shall be designated or established by Borrower (the “Successor Borrower”).  Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement, and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under the Loan Documents (other than those obligations that by their terms expressly survive a repayment, defeasance or other satisfaction of the Loan and/or a transfer of the Property in connection with Lender’s exercise of its remedies under the Loan Documents).  Borrower shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement, and such other related documents.  Borrower shall pay all reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with establishing the Successor Borrower, including Lender’s reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket attorney’s fees and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith.
(d)    Assignment upon Defeasance.  If Borrower has specified in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.8(a) that it desires to effectuate a Defeasance Event in a manner which will permit the assignment of the Notes and Security Instrument to a new lender providing the funds necessary to acquire the Defeasance Collateral, Lender shall assign the Note and the Security Instrument, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, except that Lender is the holder thereof and has the right to assign same and not encumbered, to such new lender designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or a nominee of Borrower) provided that Borrower (i) has executed and delivered to such new lender a new note to be secured by the Defeasance Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreement between Borrower and such new lender (such new note to have the same term, interest rate, unpaid principal balance and all other material terms and conditions of the Note), which new note, together with the Security Agreement and the rights of such new lender in and to the Defeasance Collateral, shall be assigned by such new lender to Lender, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, except that Lender is the holder thereof and has the right to assign same and not encumbered, simultaneously with the assignment of the Notes and Security Instrument by Lender and (ii) has complied with all other provisions of this Section 2.8 to the extent not inconsistent with this Section 2.8(d).  In addition, any such assignment shall be conditioned on the following:  (A) payment by Borrower of (I) each Lender’s then customary administrative fee for processing assignments of mortgage (not to exceed $5,000.00 per Note); (II) the reasonable third-party out-of-pocket expenses of each Lender actually incurred in connection therewith; and (III) each Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees for the preparation, delivery and performance of such an assignment; (B) Borrower shall have caused the delivery of an executed Statement of Oath under Section 275 of the New York Real Property Law; (C) such new lender shall materially modify the Note such that it shall be treated as a new loan for federal tax purposes; (D) such an assignment is not then prohibited by any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order or by any other governmental authority; and (E) Borrower shall provide such other reasonable and customary information and documents which a prudent lender would require to effectuate such assignment.  Borrower shall be responsible for all mortgage recording taxes, recording fees and other charges payable in connection with any such assignment.  Lender agrees that the assignment of the Notes and Security Instrument to the new lender and the assignment of the new note, the Defeasance Collateral and the Security Agreement by the new lender to Lender shall be accomplished by an escrow closing conducted through an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower and pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower in form and substance.

Section 2.9.    Release or Assignment upon Payment in Full.  Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement release the Lien of the Security Instrument simultaneously therewith.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if, in connection with any repayment or prepayment of the Loan in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, Borrower desires to effectuate a refinancing by way of an assignment of the Notes and the Security Instrument to a new lender providing a loan upon at least ten (10) days prior notice to Lender, Lender shall assign the Notes and the Security Instrument, each without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, except that Lender is the holder thereof and has the right to assign same and not encumbered, to such new lender designated by Borrower (other than Borrower or a nominee of Borrower).  In addition, any such assignment shall be conditioned on the following:  (A) payment by Borrower of (I) each Lender’s then customary administrative fee for processing assignments of mortgage (not to exceed $5,000.00 per Note); (II) the reasonable third-party out-of-pocket expenses of each Lender actually incurred in connection therewith; and (III) each Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees for the preparation, delivery and performance of such an assignment; (B) Borrower shall have caused the delivery of an executed Statement of Oath under Section 275 of the New York Real Property Law; (C) such new lender shall materially modify the Note such that it shall be treated as a new loan for federal tax purposes; (D) such an assignment is not then prohibited by any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, order or by any other governmental authority; and (E) Borrower shall provide such other reasonable and customary information and documents which a prudent lender would require to effectuate such assignment.  Borrower shall be responsible for all mortgage recording taxes, recording fees and other charges payable in connection with any such assignment.  Lender agrees that the assignment of the Notes and Security Instrument to the new lender may be accomplished by an escrow closing conducted through an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to Lender and pursuant to an escrow agreement reasonably satisfactory to Lender in form and substance.

Section 2.10.    Withholding and Indemnified Taxes.  
(a)    Defined Terms.  For purposes of this Section 2.10, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA and references to Agent (other than with respect to “Withholding Agent”) only apply in the event of Syndication.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Section 2.10 Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Section 2.10 Taxes from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Section 2.10 Taxes is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower to Lender shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower.  Without duplication, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Lender timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes. 
(d)    Indemnification by Borrower.  Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority, provided that if such Indemnified Taxes were not correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority then Borrower shall have the right, at its sole expense, to recover such amounts or to initiate an appropriate action with the Governmental Authority therefore for reimbursement thereof and be subrogated to the rights of Lender.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Agent), or by Agent, on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Section 2.10 Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.10, Borrower shall deliver to Lenders or, following a Syndication, Agent, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such recipient.
(f)    Status of Agent and Lenders.
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any Section 2.10 Taxes imposed through withholding with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on the Closing Date and at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as will enable Borrower or Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements and to satisfy any such requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.10(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
		
	(A)
	any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

		
	(B)
	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the IRS Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRS Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the IRS Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the IRS Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B- 2 or Exhibit B-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit B-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
		
	(C)
	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

		
	(D)
	if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRS Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRS Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii)    Agent shall deliver to Borrower, on or prior to the date on which Agent becomes an Agent under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower) such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower as will permit payments to be made under any Loan Document to Agent without withholding.  In addition, Agent, if reasonably requested by Borrower, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower as will enable Borrower to determine whether or not Agent is subject to information reporting requirements and to satisfy any such requirements.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent shall deliver to Borrower (A) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax or (B) executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY certifying that Agent is acting as a “qualified intermediary” or a “nonqualified intermediary” and accompanied by any required attachments (including certification documents from each beneficial owner).  For purposes of this Section 2.10(iii), “Agent” shall mean Agent in its capacity as such and not in any other capacity (such as a Lender).
Agent and each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Section 2.10 Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Section 2.10 Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including Section 2.10 Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund less any Taxes payable by such party with respect to such interest).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a materially less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Section 2.10 Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Section 2.10 Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Section 2.10 Taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Tenant provides an estoppel in the same form as the one delivered in connection with the closing of the Loan, Lender shall accept the same and Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of this subparagraph (b).

Section 4.14.    Leases and Rents.
(a)    All Leases and all renewals of Leases executed after the date hereof shall (i) provide, in Borrower’s reasonable business judgment, for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates for similar properties (except for renewals pursuant to the terms and conditions of Leases executed prior to the date hereof, the rental rates for which shall be consistent with the terms of the applicable Lease), (ii) be on commercially reasonable terms (unless otherwise consented to by Lender or for renewals pursuant to the terms and conditions of Leases executed prior to the date hereof), and (iii) with respect to Leases entered into after the Closing Date, provide that such Lease is subordinate to the Security Instrument and that the lessee will attorn to Lender and any purchaser at a foreclosure sale, provided, that such subordination and attornment may be contingent on Lender’s agreement not to disturb the Tenant’s use of such premises so long as no event of default under such Lease has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall not, without the prior written approval of Lender (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into, renew (except for renewals pursuant to the terms and conditions of Leases), extend (except for extensions pursuant to the terms and conditions of Leases), amend, modify, permit any assignment of under (to the extent Borrower consent is required under the terms of the applicable Lease for the applicable assignment), waive any economic provisions or other material provisions of, release any party to, terminate (except in the case of default by the Tenant thereunder), reduce rents under, accept a surrender of space under (unless required pursuant to the terms and conditions of the applicable Lease), or shorten the term of, in each case, any Major Lease.  To the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with any Borrower request for Lender consent under this subparagraph (a) and Lender thereafter fails to approve or disapprove the same, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.  
(b)    Without limitation of subsection (a) above, Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not, without Lender’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), alter, modify or change any Major Lease; and (vi) shall hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Legal Requirements.

Borrower further agrees to provide Lender with written notice of a Tenant “going dark” under such Tenant’s Lease within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s knowledge that such Tenant has “gone dark”.
(d)    Borrower shall, promptly (but in all cases within five (5) Business Days) after Borrower’s receipt of any early termination fee or payment or other termination fee or payment paid by any Tenant under any Lease, cause such fee or payment to be deposited into an Eligible Account with Lender to be disbursed by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission costs with respect to the Property within ten (10) Business Days after Borrower’s request therefor, provided no Event of Default is continuing.  After the entirety of the space demised under the Lease to which such early termination fee or payment or other termination fee or payment relates has been leased to a replacement Tenant in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Tenant thereunder is open for business and paying full and unabated rent under such Lease, Lender shall deposit any remaining early termination fee or payment or other termination fee or payment held by Lender pursuant to this subclause (d) in the Cash Management Account for application in accordance with Section 9.3 hereof.  During the continuance of an Event of Default, any such fee or payment may also be held as collateral for the Debt or applied towards payment of the Debt, as so determined by Lender.
(e)    Lender agrees to deliver a subordination and non-disturbance agreement in favor of a Tenant under any Lease, on Lender’s then current form of subordination and non-disturbance agreement; provided that Lender will cooperate reasonably in connection with reasonable changes requested thereto.  Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such request.

To the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with any Borrower request for Lender consent under this subparagraph (c) and Lender fails to approve or disapprove the same pursuant thereto, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.
(d)    If Borrower shall default after applicable notice and cure periods in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Management Agreement shall be kept unimpaired and free from default.  Lender and any Person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property, subject to the rights of tenants, at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action.  If Manager shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice sent to Borrower of default under the Management Agreement, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender in good faith, in reliance thereon, subject to the rights of tenants.  Borrower shall notify Lender if Manager sub-contracts to a third party or an Affiliate any or all of its management responsibilities under the Management Agreement (which sub-contract shall be subject to Lender’s reasonable consent).  
(e)    Borrower shall, from time to time, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Manager under the Management Agreement such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by Borrower with the terms of the Management Agreement as may be reasonably requested by Lender.

(h)    Without limitation of the foregoing, if the Management Agreement is terminated or expires (including, without limitation, pursuant to the Assignment of Management Agreement), comes up for renewal or extension (exclusive of, in each case, any automatic renewal or extension in accordance with its terms), ceases to be in full force or effect or is for any other reason no longer in effect (including, without limitation, in connection with any Sale or Pledge), then Lender, at its option, may require Borrower to engage, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Assignment of Management Agreement, a New Manager to manage the Property, which such New Manager shall (i) to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if opted by Lender, selected by Lender and subject to the reasonable approval of Borrower if Lender has not foreclosed on the Property and (ii) be a Qualified Manager and shall be engaged pursuant to a Qualified Management Agreement.
(i)    As conditions precedent to any engagement of a New Manager hereunder, (i) New Manager and Borrower shall execute an Assignment of Management Agreement (with such changes thereto as may be required by the Rating Agencies), and (ii) to the extent that such New Manager is an Affiliated Manager, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a New Non-Consolidation Opinion with respect to such New Manager and new management agreement.
(j)    Borrower shall notify Lender in writing, within ten (10) Business Days following receipt thereof, of Borrower’s receipt of any early termination fee or similar payment or other termination fee or similar payment paid by any Manager.

(l)    Lender’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required with respect to any Sale or Pledge of any Affiliated Manager over which Borrower, any SPE Component Entity and/or their respective Affiliates has Control, which consent may be conditioned upon receipt of a New Non-Consolidation Opinion to the extent such Sale or Pledge is to an Affiliate of Borrower, any SPE Component Entity and/or Guarantor.
(m)    Any sums expended by Lender pursuant to this Section 4.15 shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor (and to the extent not paid within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor by Lender shall bear interest at the Default Rate).

Section 4.16.    Payment for Labor and Materials.  
(a)    Subject to Section 4.16(b) below, Borrower will promptly pay (or cause to be paid) when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Property (any such bills and costs, a “Work Charge”) and not permit to exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest with respect to such Work Charges, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof, and in any event never permit to be created or exist in respect of the Property or any part thereof any other or additional lien or security interest other than the liens or security interests created hereby and by the Security Instrument, except for the Permitted Encumbrances.
(b)    After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Work Charge, the applicability of any Work Charge to Borrower or to the Property or any alleged non-payment of any Work Charge and defer paying the same, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost as a result of the contest of the same; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay (or cause to be paid) any such contested Work Charge determined to be valid, applicable and unpaid; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Work Charge from the Property or Borrower shall have paid the same (or shall have caused the same to be paid) under protest; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish (or cause to be furnished) such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure payment of such Work Charge, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security or part thereof, as necessary to pay for such Work Charge at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability and non-payment of such Work Charge is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in present danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

Section 4.17.    Performance of Other Agreements.  Borrower shall observe and perform each and every material term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property (or any portion thereof) and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

(a)    Assuming none of the assets of Lender being used in connection with the Loan constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101 and Section 3(42) of ERISA, Borrower shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender of any of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA.
(b)    Borrower further covenants and agrees to deliver to Lender such certifications or other evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Security Instrument, as requested by Lender in its reasonable discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, or other retirement arrangement, which is subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRS Code, or a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA; (ii) Borrower is not subject to state statutes regulating investments and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans (except where a government plan is a counterparty); and (iii) one or more of the following circumstances is true; provided, that, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall not be required to deliver such certifications or other evidence more frequently than once in any twelve month period:
		
	(A)
	Equity interests in Borrower are publicly offered securities, within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3 101(b)(2);

Section 4.20.    No Joint Assessment.  Borrower shall not suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of the Property with (a) any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property, or (b) any portion of the Property which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to the Property.

Section 4.21.    Alterations.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein (including, without limitation, Article 8 hereof) to the contrary, Lender’s prior approval shall be required in connection with (I) any alterations by Borrower to any Improvements with respect to the Property (other than pursuant to a Major Lease) (the “Landlord Alterations”) and (II) any alterations to any Improvements with respect to the Property by any Tenant under any Lease (other than pursuant to a Major Lease) to the extent that Borrower has the right to consent to, or approve, such alterations, in each instance of (I) or (II) (a) that may have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) the cost of which (including any related alteration, improvement or replacement) is reasonably anticipated to exceed the applicable Alteration Threshold or (c) that materially adversely affects a material structural component of the Property, which approval, with respect to each of the preceding clauses (b) through (c) may be granted or withheld in Lender’s reasonable discretion and, with respect to each of the preceding clause (a) may be granted or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion.  If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to any such Landlord Alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the applicable Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other security reasonably acceptable to Lender, (provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same), (iv) a completion guaranty from Guarantor (provided that Lender shall have received a New Non-Consolidation Opinion and a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to the same) or (v) a completion bond (provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same if Lender determines the same is necessary).  Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements over the applicable Alteration Threshold.  To the extent that the Deemed Approval Requirements are fully satisfied in connection with any Borrower request for Lender consent under this Section 4.21 (other than with respect to an alteration which may have a Material Adverse Effect) and Lender thereafter fails to approve or disapprove the same, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given with respect to the matter for which approval was requested.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.21, in the event that Borrower must perform any Emergency Alteration, Lender shall be deemed to have approved each such Emergency Alteration provided that (i) it would be impracticable, as reasonably determined by Borrower, under the circumstances to obtain Lender’s prior approval thereof despite Borrower using its commercially reasonable efforts to contact Lender to obtain such approval, or (ii) Lender shall have failed to respond to any request for such approval made by Borrower using its commercially reasonable efforts to contact Lender prior to the date on which such Emergency Alteration is required, as reasonably determined by Borrower, under the circumstances to be made.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees to the extent that such Emergency Alteration exceeds the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall comply with the second sentence of the paragraph immediately above.  “Emergency Alteration” shall mean any alteration to the Property required to be made by any Borrower by reason of the occurrence of an unexpected event that is reasonably likely to cause imminent harm to persons or property at the Property or that is reasonably likely to cause a default beyond all applicable notice and cure periods by a Borrower under a Lease.

(G)    Borrower shall have paid to Lender, concurrently with the closing of such transfer all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection therewith.
For the avoidance of doubt, any listing of the shares of stock in ARCNYC REIT on the New York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Global Select Market or another nationally recognized stock exchange or market in accordance with this Section 6.3(a) shall not be a Prohibited Transfer.
(b)    In connection with any transfer described in Section 6.3(a)(ii) or (iii) above, Borrower shall be permitted, without Lender’s consent or payment of any fee, to provide a replacement for the Guarantor with a Qualified Replacement Guarantor; provided Lender receives any legal opinions of counsel reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith.  
(c)    Upon request from Lender in connection with any transfer set forth above and otherwise no more than once each calendar quarter, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with a then current version of the organizational chart in the form and with the detail of the chart delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan.

(xiii)    Borrower or Transferee shall deliver, at Borrower’s or Transferee’s sole cost and expense, an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, which endorsement shall insure the Lien of the Security Instrument as modified by the assumption agreement, as a valid first lien on the Property, shall name the Transferee as owner of the Property, and shall insure that, as of the date of the recording of the assumption agreement, the Property shall not be subject to any additional exceptions or liens other than those contained in the applicable Title Insurance Policy issued on the Closing Date and the Permitted Encumbrances;

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION

Section 7.1.    Insurance.
(a)    Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:
(i)    insurance with respect to the Improvements and the Personal Property insuring against any peril now or hereafter included within the classification “All Risk” or “Special Perils” (including, without limitation, fire, lightning, windstorm/named storm, hail, terrorism and similar acts of sabotage, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism, aircraft, vehicles and smoke), in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings, with a waiver of depreciation; (B) written on a no co-insurance form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $50,000 except with respect to earthquake and windstorm/named storms, which such insurance shall provide for no deductible in relation to such coverage in excess of 5% of the total insurable value of the Property; (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” endorsement in amounts acceptable to Lender.  The Full Replacement Cost shall be re-determined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twelve (12) calendar months) at the reasonable request of Lender by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer.  After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade.  No omission on the part of Lender to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Borrower of any of its obligations under this Subsection;
(ii)    commercial general liability insurance against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, including “Dram Shop” or other liquor liability coverage if alcoholic beverages are sold, manufactured or distributed from the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000, with no deductible greater than $25,000 or self-insured retention greater than $25,000; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until reasonably required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts; (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 13 hereof to the extent the same is available; and (6) acts of terrorism and similar acts of sabotage;
(iii)    loss of rents and/or business interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a)(i), (iv) and (vi) through (viii); (C) in an amount equal to 100% of the projected gross income from the Property (on an actual loss sustained basis) for a period of eighteen (18) months (the amount of such business interruption/loss of rents insurance shall be determined prior to the Closing Date and at least once each year thereafter based on Lender’s determination of the projected gross income from the Property for a eighteen (18) month period); and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement for a period of twelve (12) months.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, to the extent that insurance proceeds are payable to Lender pursuant to this Subsection (the “Rent Loss Proceeds”) and Borrower is entitled to disbursement of Net Proceeds for Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof, such Rent Loss Proceeds shall be deposited by Lender in the Cash Management Account and disbursed as provided in Article 9 hereof; provided, however, that (I) nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the Rent Loss Proceeds and (II) in the event the Rent Loss Proceeds are paid in a lump sum in advance and Borrower is entitled to disbursement of such Rent Loss Proceeds in accordance with the terms hereof, Lender or Servicer shall hold such Rent Loss Proceeds in a segregated interest-bearing Eligible Account (which shall deemed to be included within the definition of the “Accounts” hereunder) and Lender or Servicer shall estimate the number of months required for Borrower to restore the damage caused by the applicable Casualty, shall divide the applicable aggregate Rent Loss Proceeds by such number of months and shall disburse such monthly installment of Rent Loss Proceeds from such Eligible Account into the Cash Management Account each month during the performance of such Restoration;
(iv)    at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a)(i) written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to Subsection 7.1(a)(i), (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v)    if and when Borrower has any employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 for disease aggregate in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation (if applicable);
(vi)    comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment and pressure vessels and boilers in an amount not less than their replacement cost or in such other amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender;
(vii)    if any portion of the Improvements is at any time located in an area identified by (A) the Federal Emergency Management Agency in the Federal Register as an area having special flood hazards and/or (B) the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development or any successor thereto as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum limit of coverage available for the Property under the Flood Insurance Acts or its equivalent as determined by Lender (plus such higher amount as Lender may require in its sole discretion);
(viii)    earthquake, for the Property located in seismic zone 3 or 4 with PML/SEL exceeding twenty percent (20%), in amounts equal to one times (1x) the probable maximum loss of the Property plus loss of rents/business interruption as required pursuant to subsection (iii) above as determined by Lender in its sole discretion and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to this Subsection (viii) shall be otherwise on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under Section 7.1(a)(i);
(ix)    umbrella liability insurance, including acts of terrorism and similar acts of sabotage, in an amount not less than $100,000,000 per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above;
(x)    motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) (if applicable); and
(xi)    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 property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b)    All insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies approved to do business in the state in which the Property is located and approved by Lender.  The insurance companies must have a general policy rating of A or better and a financial class of X or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc., and a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of “A” or better by S&P and “A2” by Moody’s if they are rating the Securities and rates the insurance company (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”).  For so long the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015 or subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization (“TRIPRA”) is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terrorism, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if TRIPRA or a similar or subsequent statute, extension or reauthorization thereof is not in effect, then provided that terrorism insurance is commercially available, Borrower shall be required carry terrorism insurance throughout the term of the Loan as required by the preceding sentence, but in such event Borrower shall not be required to spend on terrorism insurance coverage more than two times the amount of the insurance premium that is payable at such time in respect of the property and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of the terrorism components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss 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.  Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender pursuant to Subsection 7.1(a), Borrower shall deliver evidence of renewal insurance accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), provided the foregoing delivery requirement shall be satisfied if Borrower furnishes Lender with Acord Form 28 Certificates therefor to be followed by the complete copies of Policies when requested by Lender. 
(c)    Without limitation of any provision hereof, (i) Lender’s consent shall be required hereunder with respect to any umbrella or blanket policy which shall be subject to receipt of the schedule of locations and values with respect to the same and such other information as requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and (ii) any umbrella or blanket Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.1(a) as determined by Lender.  Borrower shall notify Lender of any material changes to the blanket policy, including material changes to the limits under the policy as of Closing Date or an aggregation of the insured values covered under the blanket policy, including the reduction of flood or wind/named storm limits and such changes shall be subject to Lender’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(d)    All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Subsection 7.1(a) shall name Borrower as  a named insured and, in the case of liability Policies (except for the Policies referenced in Subsections 7.1(a)(v) and (x)), shall name Lender as an additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and, in the case of property damage Policies (including, but not limited to, terrorism, rent loss, business interruption, boiler and machinery, and, if applicable, earthquake and flood insurance), such Policies shall contain a standard noncontributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.  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.
(e)    All Policies of insurance provided for in Subsection 7.1(a) shall:
(i)    with respect to property damage Policies, provide that (1) the following shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the Policy insofar as Lender is concerned:  (A) any act or negligence of Borrower, of anyone acting for Borrower or of any other Person named as an insured, additional insured and/or loss payee, (B) any foreclosure or other similar exercise of remedies and (C) the failure to comply with the provisions of the Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof; and (2) the Policy shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice, except for ten (10) days’ written notice for cancellation due to non-payment of premium;
(ii)    with respect to all other Policies, if available using commercially reasonable efforts, provide that the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby), terminated or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice, except for ten (10) days’ written notice for cancellation due to non-payment of premium, to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured;
(iii)    if available using commercially reasonable efforts, provide that the issuer(s) of the Policy shall give ten (10) days’ written notice to Lender  if the issuers elect not to  renew the Policy prior to its expiration; and
(iv)    not contain any provision which would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments or commissions thereunder provided that, Lender shall, at its option and with no obligation to do so, have the right to directly pay Insurance Premiums in order to avoid cancellation, expiration and/or termination of the Policy due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums.
(f)    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, with ten (10) days’ notice to Borrower (or at any time Lender deems necessary, regardless of prior notice to Borrower, to avoid the lapse of any such insurance) to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses 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 Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g)    In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title to the Property (or any portion thereof) in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Property (or any portion thereof) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender.
(h)    As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have (1) received Lender’s prior written consent thereto not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and (2) confirmed that Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender hereby reserves the right to deny its consent to any Non-Conforming Policy regardless of whether or not Lender has consented to the same on any prior occasion.
(i)    Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or insurance proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property (or any portion thereof), and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable, actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of a Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property or any part thereto) out of such Awards or insurance proceeds.

Section 7.2.    Casualty.  If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4.  Borrower shall pay all costs of any such Restoration (including, without limitation, any applicable deductibles under the Policies) whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds.  Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower

Section 7.3.    Condemnation.
(a)    Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property (or portion thereof) of which Borrower has written knowledge and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all material papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4.  Borrower shall pay all costs of Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by the Net Proceeds.  If the Property (or any portion thereof) is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.  
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the lien of the Security Instrument in connection with a Condemnation of the Property (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value), the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust) is greater than 125%, the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by an amount not less than the least of the following amounts:  (i) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s and Borrower’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as determined in Lender’s reasonable discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust) does not increase after the release, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the lien of the Security Instrument.  Any such prepayment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment and shall be subject to Section 2.7(a) hereof (other than the requirements to provide ten (10) days’ notice to Lender and other than payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment premium or penalty (as applicable)).

Section 7.4.    Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a)    If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) (other than clause (F) thereof) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b).
(i)    The Net Proceeds shall be made available for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(A)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)    (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the rentable area of the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the rentable area of the Property is taken, such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, no portion of the Improvements is located on such land and such taking does not materially impair the existing access to the Property;
(C)    Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than seventy percent (70%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be;
(D)    Borrower shall commence (or shall cause the commencement of) the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to reasonably satisfactory completion in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;
(E)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient to cover the cost of the Restoration;
(G)    Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) above;
(H)    the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements; and
(I)    the Restoration shall be done and completed in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements.
(ii)    The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds (other than the Rent Loss Proceeds) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)    All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer reasonably selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, in each case not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.  Borrower shall have the right to settle all claims under the Policies jointly with Lender, provided that (a) no Event of Default exists, (b) Borrower promptly and with commercially reasonable diligence negotiates a settlement of any such claims and (c) the insurer with respect to the Policy under which such claim is brought has not raised any act of the insured as a defense to the payment of such claim.  If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at its election, have the exclusive right to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.
(iv)    In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage.  The term “Restoration Retainage” as used in this Subsection 7.4(b) shall mean 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 such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration have been disbursed.  There shall be no Restoration Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed (subject only to non-material punch list items) in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed (subject only to non-material punch list items) all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and 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 insuring the lien of the Security Instrument.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)    Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents.
(vii)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed (subject only to non-material punch list items) in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c)    Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 7.4(b)(vii) shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable pro rata among the Notes and, if applicable, among the Notes and any notes issued in connection with a mezzanine loan entered into pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 11.6 (without Yield Maintenance Premium or other penalty or prepayment fee).  If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, if Borrower shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy each of the other conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) and Borrower was unable to satisfy all such conditions and Lender does not disburse the Net Proceeds to Borrower for Restoration, then Borrower shall have the right, but not the obligation to elect not to proceed with a Restoration and to prepay the Debt with any Interest Shortfall associated therewith (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) utilizing the Net Proceeds (together with other funds of the Borrower if such Net Proceeds are less than the Debt with any Interest Shortfall associated therewith), provided that (i) Borrower shall have satisfied the requirements of Section 2.7 hereof, (ii) Borrower shall consummate the Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment on or before the second Monthly Payment Date occurring following date the Net Proceeds shall be available to Borrower for such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment and (iii) Borrower shall pay to Lender, concurrently with making such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, any other amounts required pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof (without duplication of the Debt and Interest Shortfall payable pursuant to this subclause (d)).  For the avoidance of doubt, unless such payment is made during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium or other premium or penalty or charge shall be due with respect to a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.

Lender shall not be required to disburse Leasing Reserve Funds more frequently than once each calendar month nor in an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of Leasing Reserve Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made).
(c)    Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall cause any Leasing Reserve Funds remaining in the Leasing Reserve Account to be disbursed to Borrower provided that no Trigger Period pursuant to any of clauses (A)(i) through (ii) in the definition thereof is continuing.

Section 8.4.    Intentionally Omitted.

Section 8.5.    Excess Cash Flow Funds.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Period, all amounts required to be deposited pursuant to Section 9.3(h) hereof shall be deposited on each Business Day into an Eligible Account with Cash Management Bank (the “Excess Cash Flow Account”) in an amount equal to the Excess Cash Flow as set forth in Section 9.3(h) hereof (each such deposit being herein referred to as the “Monthly Excess Cash Flow Deposits” and the amounts on deposit in the Excess Cash Flow Account being herein referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Funds”).  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall cause any Excess Cash Flow Funds remaining in the Excess Cash Flow Account to be disbursed to Borrower provided that no Trigger Period pursuant to any of clauses (A)(ii) in the definition thereof is continuing.

Section 8.6.    Tax and Insurance Funds.  Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to Lender on each Monthly Payment Date occurring on and after the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period (to the extent not deposited pursuant to Section 9.3(a) and (b) hereof) (a) one-twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next ensuing twelve (12) months assuming that said Taxes are to be paid in full on the Tax Payment Date (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in an Eligible Account with Cash Management Bank (the “Tax Account”), and (b) at the option of Lender, if the liability or casualty Policy maintained by Borrower covering the Property (or any portion thereof) shall not constitute an approved blanket or umbrella Policy pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) hereof, or Lender shall require Borrower to obtain a separate Policy pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c) hereof, one-twelfth of an amount which would reasonably be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the “Monthly Insurance Deposit”), each of which such deposits shall be held in an Eligible Account with Cash Management Bank (the “Insurance Account”; amounts held in the Tax Account and the Insurance Account are collectively herein referred to as the “Tax and Insurance Funds”).  Additionally, if, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of a Trigger Period, Lender reasonably determines that amounts on deposit in or scheduled to be deposited in (i) the Tax Account will be insufficient to pay all applicable Taxes in full on the Tax Payment Date and/or (ii) the Insurance Account will be insufficient to pay all applicable Insurance Premiums in full on the Insurance Payment Date, Borrower shall make a True Up Payment with respect to such insufficiency into the applicable Reserve Account.  Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has or obtains knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes directly from the appropriate taxing authority.  Provided there are sufficient amounts in the Tax Account and Insurance Account, respectively, and no Event of Default exists, Lender shall be obligated to pay the Taxes and Insurance Premiums as they become due on their respective due dates on behalf of Borrower by applying the Tax and Insurance Funds to the payment of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums.  So long as a Trigger Period is continuing, if the amount of the Tax and Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 4.5 and 7.1 hereof, Lender shall either, in its discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Funds.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall cause any Tax and Insurance Funds remaining in the Tax Account and/or the Insurance Account to be disbursed to Borrower provided that no Trigger Period pursuant to any of clauses (A)(i) through (ii) in the definition thereof is continuing.

Section 8.7.    NYC-DYCD Lease Funds.
(a)    On the Closing Date Borrower shall deposit into an Eligible Account held by Cash Management Bank (the “NYC-DYCD Lease Account”) the sum of $20,000,000.00, which amount shall be released to Borrower in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 8.7(b) and (c).  Amounts deposited pursuant to this Section 8.7 are referred to herein as the “NYC-DYCD Lease Funds”.
(b)    Provided an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, upon not less than five (5) Business Days written request from Borrower, if the Approved NYC-DYCD Lease is entered into, Lender shall cause the disbursement to Borrower of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds (less an amount equal to the aggregate cost of tenant improvements, leasing commissions and free rent under the NYC-DYCD Lease in excess of the Unfunded Obligations Funds reserved for such purposes (which shall equal the amount of the “HRA - DYCD” line item listed on Schedule III) which shall be transferred to the Unfunded Obligations Account), after satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the execution of the Approved NYC-DYCD Lease and (ii) delivery to Lender of an estoppel certificate executed by NYC-DYCD Tenant certifying to Lender that the Approved NYC-DYCD Lease is in full force and effect and certifying as to the documents which constitute the Lease.
(c)    If the Approved NYC-DYCD Lease has not been entered into, Lender shall cause the disbursement to Borrower of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds in connection with the entering into of one or more Replacement Leases demising in the aggregate of not less than 10,000 square feet for any disbursement of NYC-DYCD Lease Funds.  Provided an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, upon not less than five (5) Business Days written request from Borrower, Lender shall cause the disbursement to Borrower of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds in amount equal to the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds Partial Disbursement Amount, after satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the execution of one or more Replacement Leases demising in the aggregate not less than 10,000 square feet, (ii) delivery to Lender of an estoppel certificate executed by each Tenant under each such Replacement Lease certifying to Lender that the applicable Replacement Lease is in full force and effect, the applicable Tenant is in full occupancy of the space demised under the applicable Replacement Lease and as to the documents which constitute the applicable Replacement Lease, and (iii) the Debt Yield is equal to or greater than eight and two-tenths percent (8.2%) (the “Debt Yield Threshold”), provided if the Debt Yield Threshold is not satisfied, Borrower shall be entitled to a disbursement of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds less an amount equal to the amount that the Loan would have to be prepaid in order for the required Debt Yield Threshold to be satisfied (each such amount, the “NYC-DYCD Lease Funds Remainder”).  Upon each disbursement of NYC-DYCD Lease Funds to Borrower, Lender shall cause the related NYC-DYCD Lease Funds Partial TI/LC Amount to be transferred to the Unfunded Obligations Account to be disbursed in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 8.8.  All NYC-DYCD Lease Funds Remainders shall serve as additional collateral for the Loan, provided, at such time as the Debt Yield satisfies the Debt Yield Threshold as of the last day of any calendar quarter, upon not less than five (5) Business Days written request from Borrower, Lender shall cause the disbursement to Borrower of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds Remainder (so long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing).

Section 8.8.    Unfunded Obligations Funds.
(a)    On the Closing Date Borrower shall deposit into an Eligible Account held by Cash Management Bank (the “Unfunded Obligations Account”) the sum of $4,819,755.00 for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and free rent obligations of Borrower to Tenants under Leases that are outstanding on the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule III hereto (the “Unfunded Obligations”).  Borrower represents and warrants that Schedule III is a true, correct and complete list of all tenant improvements, leasing commissions and rent credits payable in connection with Leases that are outstanding on the Closing Date (the parties hereto agree that, as of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding obligations  pursuant to the NYC-DYCD Lease or any Replacement Lease).  Amounts deposited into the Unfunded Obligations Account pursuant to Section 8.7 or this Section 8.8 are referred to herein as the “Unfunded Obligations Funds”. Borrower shall pay and/or perform the Unfunded Obligations when due.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that the Approved NYC-DYCD Lease is not entered into and Borrower enters into one or more Replacement Leases, the amounts reserved as Unfunded Obligations Funds allocable to the “HRA - DYCD” line item listed on Schedule III (including, without limitation, the funds deposited pursuant to Section 8.7), shall be allocable to the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and free rent obligations of Borrower with respect to such Replacement Leases.
(b)    Lender shall cause the disbursement to Borrower the Unfunded Obligations Funds (or portions thereof) upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a request for payment to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and, if such request relates to a disbursement of Unfunded Obligations Funds for tenant improvements, leasing commissions, free rent obligations, such request shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that such for tenant improvements, leasing commissions and/or  free rent obligations under the applicable Lease for which Borrower is requesting disbursement of Unfunded Obligations Funds has expired and/or have been paid to the Tenant, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured; (iii) to the extent the amount of the requested disbursement for any item set forth on Schedule III (together with any previous disbursements for such item) exceeds the amount set forth on Schedule III, Lender shall have reasonably approved such disbursement; (iv) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that (I) with respect to disbursements of Unfunded Obligations Funds for credits for tenant improvements, all tenant improvements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority, if any, required in connection with the tenant improvements and (II) with respect to disbursement of Unfunded Obligations Funds for free rent credits, the applicable rent credits and/or other credits under the Lease for which disbursement is sought by Borrower has expired and/or have been paid to Tenant, (B) with respect to disbursements of Unfunded Obligations Funds for credits for tenant improvements, identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the tenant improvements to be funded by the requested disbursement and (C) with respect to disbursements of Unfunded Obligations Funds for credits for tenant improvements, stating that each such Person has been paid in full with respect to all amounts then due or will be paid in full with respect to all amounts then due upon such disbursement (or for ongoing work, such Person has been or will be paid upon such disbursement for the work identified in such certificate from Borrower with respect to such disbursement), such certificate to be accompanied by, as applicable, partial (with respect to such ongoing work) or complete lien waivers, invoices and/or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (v) at Lender’s option, if the cost of the individual tenant improvement exceeds $100,000, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, (vi) at Lender’s option, if the cost of the individual tenant improvement exceeds $100,000, Lender shall have received a report reasonably satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion from an architect or engineer reasonably approved by Lender in respect of such architect or engineer’s inspection of such tenant improvement, and (vii) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the tenant improvements at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed (to the extent applicable) and/or leasing commissions to be funded by the requested disbursement are due and payable and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.  Lender shall not be required to disburse Unfunded Obligations Funds more frequently than once each calendar month nor in an amount less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of Unfunded Obligations Funds remaining, is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made).  Notwithstanding the foregoing if a Trigger Period exists, any disbursement of Unfunded Obligations Funds with respect to free rent credits shall instead of being disbursed to Borrower be deposited into the Cash Management Account for application in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement on the next Monthly Payment Date.  Following the completion of all Unfunded Obligations as reasonably determined by Lender, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall cause any Unfunded Obligations Funds remaining in the Unfunded Obligations Account to be disbursed to Borrower.

Section 8.9.    Intentionally Omitted.

Section 8.10.    The Accounts Generally.
(a)    Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and any and all sums now or hereafter deposited in the Accounts as additional security for payment of the Debt.  Until expended or applied or disbursed in accordance herewith, the Accounts and the funds deposited therein shall constitute additional security for the Debt.  The provisions of this Section 8.10 (together with the other related provisions of the other Loan Documents) are intended to give Lender and/or Servicer “control” of the Accounts and the Account Collateral and serve as a “security agreement” and a “control agreement” with respect to the same, in each case, within the meaning of the UCC.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Accounts are subject to the sole dominion, control and discretion of Lender, its authorized agents or designees, subject to the terms hereof, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal with respect to any Account except with the prior written consent of Lender or as otherwise provided herein.  The funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and (other than funds in the Cash Management Account and/or the Restricted Account) may be commingled with other monies held by Cash Management Bank.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender or otherwise expressly provided for herein, Borrower shall only be permitted to request (and Lender shall only be required to disburse) Reserve Funds on account of the liabilities, costs, work and other matters (as applicable) for which said sums were originally reserved hereunder, in each case, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)    Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Accounts or the sums deposited therein or permit any lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  Subject to the Security Instrument, Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file a financing statement or statements under the UCC in connection with any of the Accounts and the Account Collateral in the form required to properly perfect Lender’s security interest therein.  Borrower agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the expense of Borrower, Borrower will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be reasonably necessary or desirable, or that Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby (including, without limitation, any security interest in and to any Permitted Investments) or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Account or Account Collateral.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice from Lender or Servicer (i) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of the Accounts, (ii) Lender may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted Investments pursuant to the applicable terms hereof to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted Investments as Lender may reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other Loan Documents or to enable Lender to exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Account or any Account Collateral, and (iii) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to the Accounts and the amounts on deposit therein and the Account Collateral as described in this Agreement and in the Security Instrument, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in the Security Instrument, may apply the amounts of such Accounts as Lender determines in its sole discretion including, but not limited to, payment of the Debt.
(d)    The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.
(e)    Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (excluding consequential, special and punitive damages), obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Accounts, the sums deposited therein or the performance of the obligations for which the Accounts were established, except to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents or employees.  Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Accounts; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f)    Borrower and Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) each applicable Account as an Eligible Account, except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by Lender.  In the event that Cash Management Bank no longer satisfies the criteria for an Eligible Institution, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in transferring the applicable Accounts to an institution that satisfies such criteria.  Borrower hereby grants Lender power of attorney (irrevocable for so long as the Loan is outstanding) with respect to any such transfers and the establishment of accounts with a successor institution, which power of attorney Lender may exercise only during the continuation of an Event of Default.
(g)    Interest accrued on any Account other than an Interest Bearing Account shall not be required to be remitted either to Borrower or to any Account and may instead be retained by Lender.  Funds deposited in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be invested in Permitted Investments as provided for in Section 8.10(h) hereof.  Interest accrued, if any, on sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be remitted to and become part of the applicable Account.  All such interest that so becomes part of the applicable Account shall be disbursed in accordance with the disbursement procedures contained herein applicable to such Account; provided, however, that Lender may, at its election, retain any such interest for its own account during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default.
(h)    Sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall, upon Borrower’s written request, be invested in Permitted Investments selected by Lender or Servicer provided (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) for accounts of this size, category and type (Borrower acknowledges that the Servicer or Lender may only offer as an investment opportunity the right to place funds on deposit in the applicable Accounts in an interest bearing account (bearing interest at the money market rate)), (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, State and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which sums in the Interest Bearing Accounts are required to be disbursed pursuant to the terms hereof, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.  All income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments shall be property of Borrower and Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender (or Servicer on behalf of Lender) to hold any income earned from the aforementioned Permitted Investments as part of the applicable Interest Bearing Account.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, State or local income or other tax applicable to income earned from Permitted Investments.  No other investments of the sums on deposit in the Interest Bearing Accounts shall be permitted.  Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds in the Interest Bearing Accounts unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
(i)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it solely shall be, and shall at all times remain, liable to Lender, Servicer and Cash Management Bank, as applicable, for all fees, charges, costs and expenses in connection with the Accounts, the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the enforcement hereof, including, without limitation, any monthly or annual fees or charges as may be assessed by Cash Management Bank in connection with the administration of the Accounts (but subject to Section 17.6 hereof) and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel to Lender, Cash Management Bank and Servicer as needed to enforce, protect or preserve the rights and remedies of Lender and/or Servicer under this Agreement.

Section 8.11.    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Following the Closing Date and Borrower’s deposit of funds into the NYC-DYCD Lease Account and the Unfunded Obligations Account on the Closing Date in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof, Borrower may from time to time deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.11 in replacement of such amounts then on deposit in the NYC-DYCD Lease Account and/or the Unfunded Obligations Account.   Any Letter of Credit from time to time delivered in replacement of funds on deposit in the NYC-DYCD Lease Account or the Unfunded Obligations Accounts shall be in an amount equal to the amount of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds or the Unfunded Obligations Funds, as applicable, held by Cash Management Bank in cash on the date such Letter of Credit is delivered to Lender and Borrower shall give Lender no less than ten (10) days written notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit together with a draft of the proposed Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.  Upon such delivery to Lender of a Letter of Credit in the amount equal to the amount of NYC-DYCD Lease Funds or the Unfunded Obligations Funds, as applicable, held by Cash Management Bank in cash on the date of delivery of such Letter of Credit and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall promptly cause the Cash Management Bank to disburse any funds held by the Cash Management Bank in cash in the NYC-DYCD Lease Account or the Unfunded Obligations Account to Borrower.  No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit.  In the event that any disbursement of any NYC-DYCD Lease Funds or the Unfunded Obligations Funds, as applicable, relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder and (ii) Lender, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, returning such original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the NYC-DYCD Lease Funds or the Unfunded Obligations Funds, as applicable, such that no further sums are required to be on deposit in the NYC-DYCD Lease Account or the Unfunded Obligations Account, as applicable.
(b)    Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine.  Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt.   Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit:  (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least forty five (45) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than forty five (45) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction.  If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

CASH MANAGEMENT

Section 9.1.    Establishment of Certain Accounts.
(a)    Borrower shall, simultaneously herewith, establish an Eligible Account with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Restricted Account”) pursuant to the Restricted Account Agreement in the name of ARC NYC123WILLIAM, LLC for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender into which Borrower shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, all revenue generated by the Property.  Pursuant to the Restricted Account Agreement, funds on deposit in the Restricted Account shall be transferred on each Business Day to the Cash Management Account.
(b)    Simultaneously herewith, Lender, on Borrower’s behalf, shall establish an Eligible Account (the “Cash Management Account”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, in the name of Borrower for the sole and exclusive benefit of Lender in accordance with that certain Cash Management Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and among Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Borrower and Lender (as the same may be amended, restated or modified from time to time, the “Cash Management Agreement”).  Simultaneously herewith, Lender, on Borrower’s behalf, shall also establish with Lender, Cash Management Bank or Servicer an Eligible Account into which Borrower shall deposit, or cause to be deposited the amounts required for the payment of Debt Service under the Loan (the “Debt Service Account”).

Section 9.2.    Deposits into the Restricted Account; Maintenance of Restricted Account.  
(a)    Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that, so long as the Debt remains outstanding, (i) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, immediately deposit all revenue derived from the Property and received by Borrower or Manager, as the case may be, into the Restricted Account; (ii) Borrower shall instruct Manager to immediately deposit (A) all revenue derived from the Property collected by Manager, if any, pursuant to the Management Agreement (or otherwise) into the Restricted Account and (B) all funds otherwise payable to Borrower by Manager pursuant to the Management Agreement (or otherwise in connection with the Property) into the Restricted Account; (iii) (A) on or before the Closing Date, Borrower shall have sent (and hereby represents that it has sent) a notice, in a form reasonably approved by Lender, to all Tenants now occupying space at the Property directing them to pay all rent and other sums due under the Lease to which they are a party into the Restricted Account (such notice, the “Tenant Direction Notice”), (B) simultaneously with the execution of any Lease entered into on or after the date hereof in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof, Borrower shall furnish each Tenant under each such Lease the Tenant Direction Notice and (C) Borrower shall continue to send the aforesaid Tenant Direction Notices until each addressee thereof complies with the terms thereof; (iv) there shall be no other accounts maintained by Borrower or any other Person into which revenues from the ownership and operation of the Property (or any portion thereof) are directly deposited; and (v) neither Borrower nor any other Person shall open any other such account with respect to the direct deposit of income in connection with the Property (or any portion thereof).  Until deposited into the Restricted Account, any Rents and other revenues from the Property held by Borrower shall be deemed to be collateral and shall be held in trust by it for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender pursuant to the Security Instrument and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower.  Borrower warrants and covenants that it shall not rescind, withdraw or change any notices or instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to this Section 9.2 without Lender’s prior written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
(b)    Borrower shall maintain the Restricted Account for the term of the Loan, which Restricted Account shall be under the sole dominion and control of Lender (subject to the terms hereof and of the Restricted Account Agreement).  The Restricted Account shall have a title evidencing the foregoing in a manner reasonably acceptable to Lender.  Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority security interest in the Restricted Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all commercially reasonable actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Restricted Account.  Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to file UCC Financing Statements and continuations thereof to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Restricted Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof.  All reasonable costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Restricted Account (or any successor thereto) shall be paid by Borrower.  All monies now or hereafter deposited into the Restricted Account shall be deemed additional security for the Debt while such funds are in the Restricted Account.  Borrower shall pay all sums due from Borrower under and otherwise comply with the Restricted Account Agreement.  Borrower shall not alter or modify either the Restricted Account or the Restricted Account Agreement, in each case without the prior written consent of Lender.  The Restricted Account Agreement shall permit (and Borrower shall provide) Lender online access to bank and other financial statements relating to the Restricted Account (including, without limitation, a listing of the receipts being collected therein).  In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender shall have the right to cause the Restricted Account to be entitled with such other designation as Lender may select to reflect an assignment or transfer of Lender’s rights and/or interests with respect to the Restricted Account.  Lender shall provide Borrower with prompt written notice of any such renaming of the Restricted Account.  Borrower shall not further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Restricted Account or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  The Restricted Account (i) shall be an Eligible Account and (ii) shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Bank.  Upon (A) Bank ceasing to be an Eligible Institution, (B) the Restricted Account ceasing to be an Eligible Account, (C) any resignation by Bank or termination of the Restricted Account Agreement by Bank or Lender and/or (D) the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) days of Lender’s request, (1) terminate the existing Restricted Account Agreement, (2) appoint a new Bank (which such Bank shall (I) be an Eligible Institution, (II) other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender and (III) during the continuance of an Event of Default, be selected by Lender), (3) cause such Bank to open a new Restricted Account (which such account shall be an Eligible Account) and enter into a new Restricted Account Agreement with Lender and Borrower on substantially the same terms and conditions as the previous Restricted Account Agreement and (4) send new Tenant Direction Notices and the other notices required pursuant to the terms hereof relating to such new Restricted Account Agreement and Restricted Account.  Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to, during the continuation of an Event of Default, complete or undertake any action required of Borrower under this Section 9.2 in the name of Borrower in the event Borrower fails to do the same.  Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

Section 9.3.    Disbursements from the Cash Management Account.  On each Business Day, other than during a Trigger Period, all funds in the Cash Management Account shall be delivered to an account designated by Borrower and, thereafter, Borrower may use any such funds for any purpose. On each Business Day during a Trigger Period, Lender or Servicer, as applicable, shall allocate all funds, if any, on deposit in the Cash Management Account and disburse such funds in the following amounts and order of priority:
(a)    First, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Tax Deposit due for the Monthly Payment Date on or immediately succeeding the date of such deposit, if any, shall be deposited in the Tax Account;
(b)    Second, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Insurance Deposit due for the Monthly Payment Date on or immediately succeeding the date of such deposit, if any, shall be deposited in the Insurance Account;
(c)    Third, funds sufficient to pay the Debt Service due for the Monthly Payment Date on or immediately succeeding the date of such deposit shall be deposited in the Debt Service Account;
(d)    Fourth, to Borrower, funds in an amount equal to the Op Ex Monthly Amount; and
(e)    Fifth, funds sufficient to pay the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit due for the Monthly Payment Date on or immediately succeeding the date of such deposit, if any, shall be deposited in the Replacement Reserve Account;
(f)    Sixth, funds sufficient to pay the Leasing Reserve Monthly Deposit due for the Monthly Payment Date on or immediately succeeding the date of such deposit, if any, shall be deposited in the Leasing Reserve Account;
(g)    Seventh, funds sufficient to pay any other amounts due and owing to Lender and/or Servicer pursuant to the terms hereof and/or of the other Loan Documents, if any, shall be deposited with or as directed by Lender; and
(h)    Eighth, all amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after deposits for items (a) through (g) above (“Excess Cash Flow”) shall be deposited into the Excess Cash Flow Account.

Section 9.4.    Withdrawals from the Debt Service Account.  Prior to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, funds on deposit in the Debt Service Account, if any, shall be used to pay Debt Service when due, together with any late payment charges or interest accruing at the Default Rate.  

Section 9.5.    Payments Received Under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of Debt Service and amounts due for the Reserve Accounts shall (provided Lender is not prohibited from withdrawing or applying any funds in the applicable Accounts by operation of law) be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in applicable Accounts to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

(h)    if (i) Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or Guarantor shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any Creditors Rights Laws seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, liquidation or dissolution, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all of its assets, or Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or Guarantor shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (ii) there shall be commenced against Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or Guarantor any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (i) above (other than any case, action or proceeding already constituting an Event of Default by operation of the other provisions of this subsection) which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of ninety (90) days; (iii) there shall be commenced against Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or Guarantor any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or substantially all of its assets (other than any case, action or proceeding already constituting an Event of Default by operation of the other provisions of this subsection) which results in the entry of any order for any such relief which shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending appeal within ninety (90) days from the entry thereof; (iv) Borrower, any SPE Component Entity, any Affiliated Manager or Guarantor shall collude with respect to, approve of, or acquiesce in, any of the actions set forth in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above; (v) Borrower, any SPE Component Entity or Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due; (vi) Borrower or any SPE Component Entity is substantively consolidated with any other entity in connection with any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Creditors Rights Laws involving Guarantor or its subsidiaries and/or Affiliates; or (vii) a Bankruptcy Event occurs (provided, that if there is any inconsistency between the other provisions of this subclause (i) and the definition of Bankruptcy Event, the other provisions of this subclause (i) shall control);

Section 10.2.    Remedies.
(a)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 10.1(f) above with respect to Borrower or any SPE Component Entity) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other 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 the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity.  Upon any Event of Default described in Section 10.1(e) above with respect to Borrower or any SPE Component Entity, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by applicable law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents.  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.
(c)    With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to the Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Property or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt.  In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose one or more of the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by one or more of the Security Instrument as Lender may elect.  Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered.  
(d)    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, security instruments 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.  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 not make or execute any such documents under such power until five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.  Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and 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.
(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amounts recovered from the Property (or any portion thereof) or any other collateral for the Loan and/or paid to or received by Lender may, after an Event of Default, be applied by Lender toward the Debt in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any such obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by applicable law), with interest as provided in this Section, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender.  All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

(b)    If requested by Lender, Borrower and Guarantor shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions (but in no event shall such cooperation result in any increase in any obligations of Borrower or rights of Lender or decrease in any rights of Borrower or obligations of Lender under the Loan Documents or change in any of the economic or monetary provisions of the Loan or the Loan Documents and not result in any “rate creep” under the Loan Agreement (other than due to the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default), Borrower acknowledging and agreeing that Borrower and/or Guarantor complying with requests by Lender pursuant to, and in accordance with, this Section 11.1 in and of itself shall not be deemed to increase any obligations of Borrower or decrease any rights of Borrower)), provided Lender shall reimburse Borrower and Guarantor for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and/or Guarantor in connection with compliance with the terms and provisions of Section 11.1(b).  Suchcooperation shall, include, without limitation, to:
(i)    (A) provide updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, SPE Component Entity and any Affiliated Manager, and updated budgets relating to the Property, which (in each case) are available or reasonably obtainable using systems of Borrower that are currently in place (the “Updated Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies, and (B) cooperate with Lender in obtaining updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as requested by the Rating Agencies in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender and acceptable to the Rating Agencies;
(ii)    provide new and/or updated opinions of counsel, which may be relied upon by Lender and the Rating Agencies, as to substantive non-consolidation, matters of Delaware and federal bankruptcy law relating to limited liability companies with respect to Borrower and SPE Component Entities and due execution and enforceability of the Loan Documents, customary in Secondary Market Transactions or required by the Rating Agencies, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and satisfactory in form and substance to the Rating Agencies;
(iii)    provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof; and
(iv)    execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies in order to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) to amend and/or supplement the Independent Director provisions provided herein and therein, in each case, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Rating Agencies, (B) bifurcating the Loan into two or more components, re-allocating the Loan among existing components or existing Notes, reducing the number of components of the Loan or of any Note and/or creating additional separate notes and/or creating additional senior/subordinate note structure(s), including, without limitation, re-allocating the principal amounts of the Loan (any of the foregoing, a “Loan Bifurcation”) and (C) to modify all operative monthly payment dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days; provided, however, that (I) Borrower and/or Guarantor shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would change any economic or non-economic term, including the interest rate or the stated maturity (except as would not have an adverse effect on Borrower, Guarantor and/or any of their Affiliates) or otherwise increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents or increase the rights or reduce the obligations of Lender, except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying fixed interest rates but will have the same weighted average coupon of the original Note throughout the term (i.e., there shall be no “rate creep”) (except following an Event of Default) and (II) none of Borrower nor any SPE Component Entity shall be required to modify its organizational structure or make any other modification, if such modification would cause it or any of its Affiliates or direct or indirect owners to incur any additional tax liability or suffer other adverse consequences.  Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that the execution of any Loan Bifurcation in accordance with terms and conditions hereof shall not in itself increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents.
(c)    If, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, Lender reasonably expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon reasonable request the following financial information:
(i)    If Lender reasonably expects 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 be 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 or selected financial data as required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB, or
(ii)    If Lender reasonably expects 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 twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included in the Securitization, the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB.
(d)    In the event all or a portion of the Loan is included in a Securitization involving a registered public offering of Securities pursuant to the Securities Act, and if Lender reasonably determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and the Related Properties, collectively, are a Significant Obligor, then Borrower shall furnish to Lender, on an ongoing basis, a statement of net operating income for the Property or Related Properties or selected financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Lender, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) filings pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an “Exchange Act Filing”) are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.
(e)    Any financial data or financial statements required pursuant to Section 11.1(d) above shall be furnished to Lender (1) with respect to quarterly reporting, not later than forty-one (41) days after the end of the fiscal quarter of Borrower and (2) with respect to all other reporting, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the date required pursuant to Regulation AB.
(f)    If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly following Lender’s request therefor, and in any event within the time periods required to comply with Regulation AB or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization (but no earlier than five (5) Business Days following notice from Lender), with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB, or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other Legal Requirements relating to a Securitization.
(g)    All financial data and statements provided by Borrower hereunder in connection with a Securitization shall meet (and shall be accompanied by such auditors’ reports or consents and such certificates as may be necessary to comply with) the requirements of Regulation AB and other Legal Requirements, in each case to the extent applicable and as specified by Lender.
(h)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to Section 11.5, Borrower shall not be (and Lender shall be) responsible for any reasonable, out-of-pocket costs incurred by Borrower due to its compliance with the terms and provisions of Section 11.1 and the deliveries required to be made by Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to Section 11.2(c).

Section 11.2.    Disclosure.
(a)    Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Borrower Party) understands that information provided to Lender by Borrower, any other Borrower Party and/or their respective agents, counsel and representatives may be (i) included in (A) the Disclosure Documents and (B) filings under the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act and (ii) made available to Investors, the Rating Agencies and service providers, in each case, in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction.  
(b)    Subject to the terms and provisions of Section 11.2(c), Borrower and Guarantor shall indemnify Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates against any losses, claims, damages (other than special, consequential or punitive damages) or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Lender and/or its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and/or affiliates may become subject in connection with any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  
(c)    Borrower and Guarantor shall provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum, offering memorandum or offering circular, (ii) a free writing prospectus, (iii) a preliminary and final prospectus or prospectus supplement and (iv) a structural and collateral term sheet, as applicable, an agreement (A) certifying that Borrower has examined the portions of such Disclosure Documents specified by Lender and that each such Disclosure Document, as it relates to Borrower, Borrower Affiliates, the Property (or any portion thereof), any Affiliated Manager, Guarantor, the Management Agreement, the terms of the Loan Documents and the use of Loan proceeds (but excluding any forward-looking budgets and projections) (collectively, with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”), does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 11.2(c), Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Lender Affiliate”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the Securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement or Affiliate of Lender that has acted as sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, and each Person that controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), and Lender Affiliate, and any other placement agent, initial purchaser or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective directors and each Person who controls Lender Affiliate or any other placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Covered Disclosure Information or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Lender Group and/or the Underwriter Group for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that (I) Borrower and Guarantor will be liable in any such case under Section 11.2(b) or clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, or is contained in the Disclosure Documents with respect to the matters referenced in clause (A) above (but, in each case, excluding forward-looking budgets and projections), (II) Borrower and Guarantor shall not be obligated to provide the certification set forth in clause (A) above or be liable under Section 11.2(b) or clause (B) or (C) above if Borrower has not been afforded five (5) Business Days to review and comment on the applicable sections of the applicable Disclosure Document, and (III) Borrower and Guarantor shall not be liable under Section 11.2(b) or clause (B) or (C) above with respect to any statement or omission or any failure of Lender to accurately transcribe any portion of the Covered Disclosure Information provided by Borrower if Borrower shall have notified Lender as to the existence of such untrue statement, omission or inaccuracy within a reasonable period of time prior to pricing of the securities and Lender shall have failed to cause such Disclosure Document to be revised accordingly.  The indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective (subject to the proviso set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) whether or not the indemnification agreement described above is provided.  The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower and Guarantor may otherwise have subject to Section 13.1.
(d)    In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, Borrower and Guarantor shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the financial reporting required to be provided pursuant to Section 11.1(d) hereof a material fact required to be stated in such financial reporting in order to make the statements in connection with such filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any out-of-pocket legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower and Guarantor will be liable in any such case under this Section 11.2(d) only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of such filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Property, or is contained in the Disclosure Documents with respect to the matters referenced in Section 11.2(c)(A) above (but, in each case, excluding forward-looking budgets and projections).
(e)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person under this Section 11.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Indemnifying Person under this Section 11.2, notify the Indemnifying Person in writing of the commencement thereof (but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability which the Indemnifying Person may have to any Indemnified Person hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the Indemnifying Person).  In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies the Indemnifying Person of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Person will be entitled, jointly with any other Indemnifying Person, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) 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 reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.  After notice from the Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person under this Section 11.2, such Indemnifying Person shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnifying Person in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the Indemnifying Person and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the Indemnifying Person.
After notice from such Indemnifying Person to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof, unless, (1) if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnified Person and any of the Indemnifying Persons and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different from or additional to those available to an Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person at the expense of the Indemnifying Persons, (2) the Indemnifying Person shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action (provided that the Indemnified Person has provided the Indemnifying Person with ten (10) days prior written notice that it intends to exercise its rights pursuant to this clause (2) and the Indemnifying Person has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person within such 10-day period), or (3) the Indemnifying Person has authorized in writing the employment of counsel of the Indemnified Person at the expense of the Indemnifying Person. 
Without the prior written consent of the applicable Indemnified Persons (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Person shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless (i) such Indemnifying Person shall have given the Indemnified Persons reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings and (ii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.  As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person(s) without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested that an Indemnifying Person reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of counsel to which the Indemnified Person is entitled pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Person shall be liable for any settlement, compromise or entry of a judgment in connection with any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement, compromise or judgment is entered into or entered, as applicable, more than ninety (90) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Person of such request, (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or judgment, and (iii) such settlement, compromise or judgment does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any such Indemnifying Person; provided, that the Indemnified Person has provided the Indemnifying Person with five (5) Business Days prior notice of its intent to exercise its rights under this sentence.
The Indemnifying Person agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Agreement is judicially determined to be unenforceable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities from which such Indemnified Person is entitled to be held harmless under this Agreement), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by such Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Agreement shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings.  The Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Agreement.  
(f)    The liabilities and obligations of each of Borrower, Guarantor and Lender under this Section 11.2 (subject in each case to Article 13) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.  Failure by Borrower and/or any Borrower Party to comply with the provisions of Section 11.1 and/or Section 11.2 within the timeframes specified therein and/or as otherwise required by Lender shall, at Lender’s option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default.  Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Borrower Party) hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to take any actions required of any Borrower Party under Sections 11.1, 11.2, and/or 11.6 in the event any Borrower Party fails to do the same, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.

Section 11.3.    Reserves/Escrows.  In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Lender in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in “eligible accounts” at “eligible institutions” and, to the extent applicable, invested in “permitted investments” as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.

Section 11.4.    Servicer.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/special servicer/trustee selected by Lender (collectively, the “Servicer”) and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer; provided, however, Lender shall remain liable hereunder regardless of any such delegation and Borrower shall not be responsible for any set up fees or for any base monthly servicing fees of any such Servicer.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, Borrower shall only be required to engage with a single Servicer, which Servicer shall be the only entity with whom Borrower shall be required to request approvals in connection with the Loan and who will provide a single response from Lender upon which Borrower shall be entitled to rely.

Section 11.5.    Rating Agency Costs.  In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (and in no event in connection with the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction) either (i) in response to a request by Borrower for approval of an action or any other matter, or (ii) during the continuance of an Event of Default or at any time that Lender or Servicer receives written notice from Borrower that it imminently will be in an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.  

Section 11.6.    Mezzanine Option.  Lender shall have the option (the “Mezzanine Option”) at any time prior to Securitization to divide the Loan into two parts, a mortgage loan and a mezzanine loan, provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for such mortgage loan and such mezzanine loan shall equal the then outstanding amount of the Loan immediately prior to Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option, and (ii) the weighted average interest rate of such mortgage loan and mezzanine loan shall at all times equal the Interest Rate and there shall be no rate creep (except, with respect to such mezzanine loan, following an event of default under such mezzanine loan and except, with respect to such mortgage loan, following an event of default under such mortgage loan) but specifically including with respect to a prepayment of the mortgage and mezzanine loans in connection with the Casualty and/or Condemnation, which prepayment shall be applied pro rata  and pari passu to the Note and the notes issues in connection with a mezzanine loan entered into in connection with this Section 11.6.  Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in good faith and in a timely manner, which such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, (i) executing such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower or any SPE Component Entity’s organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies (provided, that any such amendment shall not change any economic or non-economic term, including the interest rate or the stated maturity, or otherwise have an adverse effect on Borrower, Guarantor and/or any of their Affiliates or increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents and will not increase the rights or decrease the obligations of Lender, except as provided in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence), (ii) creating one or more Single Purpose Entities (the “Mezzanine Borrower”), which such Mezzanine Borrower shall (A) own, directly or indirectly, 100% of the equity ownership interests in Borrower (the “Equity Collateral”), and (B) execute such agreements, instruments and other documents as may be reasonably required by Lender in connection with the mezzanine loan (including, without limitation, a promissory note evidencing the mezzanine loan and a pledge and security agreement pledging the Equity Collateral to Lender as security for the mezzanine loan); and (iii) delivering such opinions, title endorsements, UCC title insurance policies, documents and/or instruments relating other diligence materials as may be reasonably required by Lender or required by the Rating Agencies, but none of the foregoing shall increase the obligations of Borrower or rights of Lender or decrease the rights of Borrower or obligations of Lender under the Loan Documents or change any of the economic or monetary provisions of the Loan or the Loan Documents.  Borrower and Lender acknowledge and agree that the execution of any documents in connection with Lender’s exercise of the Mezzanine Option in accordance with terms and conditions hereof shall not in itself increase the obligations or decrease the rights of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents.  Lender shall reimburse Borrower for any reasonable, third-party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Borrower actually incurred in connection with Borrower’s compliance with the terms and provisions of this Section 11.6.

Section 11.7.    Conversion to Registered Form.  At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code.  The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked.  Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender.  Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar.  The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.

Any amounts payable to Lender by reason of the application of this Section 12.1 shall become due and payable immediately after demand therefor by Lender and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date loss or damage is sustained by Lender until paid.

Section 12.4.    Duty to Defend, Legal Fees and Other Fees and Expenses.  Upon written request by any Indemnified Person, Borrower shall defend such Indemnified Person (if requested by any Indemnified Person, in the name of the Indemnified Person) by attorneys and other professionals selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by the Indemnified Persons.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Persons may, in their sole discretion and at the Indemnified Persons’ sole cost and expense, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Persons, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding, provided, however, that Borrower shall have the right to reasonably approve any settlement such Indemnified Persons desire to enter into with respect to such matter and any such settlement shall provide a full release of Borrower with respect to such matter.  Upon demand if Borrower is not defending the Indemnified Persons in accordance with this Section 12.4, Borrower shall pay or, in the sole discretion of the Indemnified Persons, reimburse, the Indemnified Persons for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

Section 12.5.    Survival.

(i)    fraud or material willful misrepresentation by any Borrower Party in connection with the Loan;
(ii)    the willful misconduct of any Borrower Party;
(iii)    any intentional act or omission of any Borrower Party made frivolously or in bad faith, including any assertion of defenses or counterclaims asserted in bad faith by any Borrower Party and which, in bad faith, hinders, delays or interferes in any material respect with the Lender’s enforcement of its rights under the Loan Documents or the realization of the collateral;
(iv)    (A) material physical waste to the Property (or any portion thereof) and/or (B) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, removal or disposal of any portion of the Property other than in the ordinary course;
(v)    the misapplication, misappropriation or conversion by (I) any Borrower Party and/or (II) any Affiliated Manager that is Controlled by Borrower, any SPE Component Entity and/or any of their respective Affiliates, in each instance, of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property (or any portion thereof), (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of the Property, (C) any Rents, (D) any Tenant security deposits or Rents collected in advance or (E) any other monetary collateral for the Loan (including, without limitation, any Reserve Funds and/or any portion thereof disbursed to (or at the direction of) Borrower); and/or
(vi)    failure to pay Taxes in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof to the extent that the Property has generated sufficient net operating income for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period to pay the same, unless such charges are the subject to a bona fide dispute in which the Borrower is contesting the amount or validity thereof in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (i) any Borrower and/or any SPE Component Entity fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any indebtedness or voluntary lien encumbering the Property to the extent required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Borrower and/or any SPE Component Entity fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any transfer in violation of Article 6 hereof to the extent required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (iii) a Bankruptcy Event occurs; or (iv) any representation, warranty or covenant contained in Article 5 is violated or breached and such breach or violation is cited as a material contributing factor by the applicable bankruptcy court in the substantive consolidation of Borrower and/or any SPE Component Entity with any other Person.

Upon receipt of an affidavit of an officer of Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which is not of public record, and, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the Note, this Agreement or such other Loan Document, Borrower will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement thereof, dated the date of the Note, this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor.

Section 15.2.    Recording of Security Instrument, etc.  
(a)    Borrower forthwith upon the execution and delivery of the Security Instrument and thereafter, from time to time, will cause the Security Instrument and any of the other Loan Documents creating a lien or security interest or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Property and each instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded in such manner and in such places as may be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to protect and perfect the lien or security interest hereof upon, and the interest of Lender in, the Property.  Borrower will pay all taxes, filing, registration or recording fees, and all expenses incident to the preparation, execution, acknowledgment and/or recording of the Note, the Security Instrument, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any note, deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property and any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, and all federal, state, county and municipal taxes, duties, imposts, assessments and charges arising out of or in connection with the execution and delivery of the Security Instrument, any deed of trust or mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the Property or any instrument of further assurance, and any modification or amendment of the foregoing documents, except where prohibited by applicable law so to do.  The foregoing taxes, fees, expenses, duties, imposts, assessments and charges, as applicable, are herein referred to as the “Security Instrument Taxes”.
(b)    Borrower represents that it has paid or will pay all Security Instrument Taxes imposed upon the execution and recordation of the Security Instrument.  

Section 15.3.    Further Acts, etc.  Borrower will, at the cost of Borrower, and without expense to Lender, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every further acts, deeds, conveyances, deeds of trust, mortgages, assignments, notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Lender shall, from time to time, reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring, and confirming unto Lender the property and rights hereby mortgaged, deeded, granted, bargained, sold, conveyed, confirmed, pledged, assigned, warranted and transferred or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which Borrower may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to Lender, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Agreement or for filing, registering or recording the Security Instrument, or for complying in all material respects with all Legal Requirements.

Borrower grants to Lender an irrevocable power of attorney coupled with an interest for the purpose, only during the continuation of an Event of Default, of exercising and perfecting any and all rights and remedies available to Lender pursuant to this Section 15.3, exercisable, in each case, to the extent that Borrower fails to take the necessary actions within ten (10) days after Borrower’s receipt of written request therefor from Lender.

Section 15.4.    Changes in Tax, Debt, Credit and Documentary Stamp Laws.
(a)    If any law is enacted or adopted or amended after the date of this Agreement which deducts the Debt from the value of the Property (or any portion thereof) for the purpose of taxation and which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Debt or Lender’s interest in the Property (or any portion thereof) (other than an Excluded Tax), Borrower will pay the tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.  If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of tax by Borrower would be unlawful or taxable to Lender or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury then Lender shall have the option by written notice of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days to declare the Debt immediately due and payable (without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium or other fee, payment or penalty).
(b)    Borrower will not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Debt for any part of the Taxes or Other Charges assessed against the Property, or any part thereof, and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of the Property, or any part thereof, for real estate tax purposes by reason of the Security Instrument or the Debt.  If such claim, credit or deduction shall be required by applicable law, Lender shall have the option, by written notice of not less than one hundred eighty (180) days, to declare the Debt immediately due and payable (without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium or other fee, payment or penalty).
(c)    If at any time the United States of America, any State thereof or any subdivision of any such State shall require revenue or other stamps to be affixed to the Note, the Security Instrument, or any of the other Loan Documents or impose any other tax or charge on the same (other than an Excluded Tax or income tax of Lender), Borrower will pay for the same, with interest and penalties thereon, if any.

ARTICLE 16.     
 
WAIVERS

Section 16.1.    Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.
The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion.  No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

Section 16.2.    Modification, Waiver in Writing.
No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, 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 against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the 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 16.3.    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 this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument given as security therefor, 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 this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

Section 16.4.    Waiver of Trial by Jury.
BORROWER AND LENDER, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, HEREBY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOAN, THE APPLICATION FOR THE LOAN, THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF LENDER OR BORROWER.

Section 16.5.    Waiver of Notice.
Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except (a) with respect to matters for which this Agreement specifically and expressly provides for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and (b) with respect to matters for which Lender is required by applicable law to give notice, and Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement does not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 16.6.    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 applicable law or under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.  Lender agrees that, in such event, it shall cooperate in expediting any action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.

Section 16.7.    Marshalling and Other Matters.
Borrower hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshalling in the event of any sale under the Security Instrument of the Property or any part thereof or any interest therein.  Further, Borrower hereby expressly waives any and all rights of redemption from sale under any order or decree of foreclosure of the Security Instrument on behalf of Borrower, and on behalf of each and every person acquiring any interest in or title to the Property subsequent to the date of the Security Instrument and on behalf of all persons to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 16.8.    Intentionally Omitted.

Section 16.9.    Waiver of Counterclaim.  Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

Section 16.10.    Sole Discretion of Lender.  Wherever pursuant to this Agreement (a) Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, (b) any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, or (c) any other decision or determination is to be made by Lender, the decision to approve or disapprove all decisions that arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, and all other decisions and determinations made by Lender, shall be in the sole discretion of Lender, except as may be otherwise expressly and specifically provided herein.

Section 17.10.    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender.  Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    This Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and Guarantor (as applicable) and nothing contained in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

Borrower is not relying on Lender’s expertise, business acumen or advice in connection with the Property (or any portion thereof).
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Lender is not undertaking the performance of (i) any obligations related to the Property (or any portion thereof) (including, without limitation, under the Leases); or (ii) any obligations with respect to any agreements, contracts, certificates, instruments, franchises, permits, trademarks, licenses and other documents (other than the Loan Documents) to which any Borrower Party and/or the Property (or any portion thereof) is subject.
(e)    By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any officer’s certificate, balance sheet, statement of profit and loss or other financial statement, survey, appraisal, or insurance policy, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted, consented to, or affirmed the sufficiency, the legality or effectiveness of same, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute any warranty or affirmation with respect thereto by Lender.
(f)    Borrower recognizes and acknowledges that in accepting this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, Lender is expressly and primarily relying on the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement without any obligation to investigate the Property (or any portion thereof) and notwithstanding any investigation of the Property (or any portion thereof) by Lender; that such reliance existed on the part of Lender prior to the date hereof, that the warranties and representations are a material inducement to Lender in making the Loan; and that Lender would not be willing to make the Loan and accept this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents in the absence of the warranties and representations as set forth in Article 3 of this Agreement

Section 17.11.    Publicity.  
(a)    All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, the financing evidenced by this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, such approval shall not be required to the extent the same information appeared in any news release, publicity or advertising by Lender or its Affiliates intended to reach the general public pursuant to Section 17.11(b) below.

Section 17.13.    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance.  In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the Security Instrument, the Note or 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 this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents and this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other 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 this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other 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 17.14.    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

Section 17.15.    Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one Person, the obligations and liabilities of each such Person hereunder shall be joint and several.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower and Lender and their respective successors and assigns forever.

Section 17.16.    Duplicate Originals; Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of duplicate originals and each duplicate original shall be deemed to be an original.  The failure of any party hereto to execute this Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.

Section 17.17.    Brokers.  Borrower agrees (i) to pay any and all fees imposed or charged by all brokers, mortgage bankers and advisors (each a “Broker”) hired or contracted by any Borrower Party or their Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) to indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, demands and liabilities for brokerage commissions, assignment fees, finder’s fees or other compensation whatsoever arising from this Agreement or the making of the Loan which may be asserted against Lender by any Person except any Persons claiming to be retained by or on behalf of Lender.  The foregoing indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.  Borrower hereby represents and warrants that no Broker was engaged by any Borrower Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Lender hereby agrees to pay any and all fees imposed or charged by any Broker hired solely by Lender and agrees to indemnify and hold Borrower harmless from and against any and all claims, demands and liabilities for brokerage commissions, assignment fees, finder’s fees or other compensation whatsoever arising from this Agreement or the making of the Loan which may be asserted against Borrower by any Person except any Persons claiming to be retained by or on behalf of Borrower.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (a) any Broker is not an agent of Lender and has no power or authority to bind Lender, (b) Lender is not responsible for any recommendations or advice given to any Borrower Party by any Broker, (c) Lender and the Borrower Parties have dealt at arms-length with each other in connection with the Loan, (d) no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall be deemed or construed to exist among Lender and the Borrower Parties and (e) none of the Borrower Parties shall be entitled to rely on any assurances or waivers given, or statements made or actions taken, by any Broker which purport to bind Lender or modify or otherwise affect this Agreement or the Loan, unless Lender has, in its sole discretion, agreed in writing with any such Borrower Party to such assurances, waivers, statements, actions or modifications.  Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may, in its sole discretion, pay fees or compensation to any Broker in connection with or arising out of the closing and funding of the Loan.  Such fees and compensation, if any, (i) shall be in addition to any fees which may be paid by any Borrower Party to such Broker and (ii) create a potential conflict of interest for Broker in its relationship with the Borrower Parties.  Such fees and compensation, if applicable, may include a direct, one-time payment, servicing fees and/or incentive payments based on volume and size of financings involving Lender and such Broker.

Section 17.18.    Set-Off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 17.19.    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(B)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(C)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

EXHIBIT 10.2

LIMITED RECOURSE GUARANTY
THIS LIMITED RECOURSE GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, restated, extended or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made as of this 6th day of March, 2017, by NEW YORK CITY OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, having an address at c/o American Realty Capital New York City REIT, Inc., 106 York Road, Jenkintown, Pennsylvania 19046 (“Guarantor”), in favor of BARCLAYS BANK PLC, a public company registered in England and Wales, having an address at 745 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019 (together with its successors, permitted transferees and/or permitted assigns, collectively, the “Lender”).
RECITALS:
A.Lender and ARC NYC123WILLIAM, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower”) have entered into a certain Loan Agreement (as it may hereafter be modified, supplemented, extended, or renewed and in effect from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), which Loan Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of a loan (said loan, together with all advances which may hereafter be made pursuant to the Loan Agreement, being referred to herein as the “Loan”) to Borrower secured by certain Property as defined and more particularly described in the Loan Agreement.
B.    Guarantor is an Affiliate of Borrower and will receive direct or indirect benefit from Lender’s making of the Loan to Borrower.
C.    The Loan is evidenced by that certain Severed, Amended and Restated Promissory Note A-1, that certain Severed, Amended and Restated Promissory Note A-2 and that certain Severed, Amended and Restated Promissory Note A-3, each executed by Borrower and payable to the order of each Lender (collectively, as each may hereafter be renewed, extended, supplemented, increased or modified and in effect from time to time, and all other notes given in substitution therefor, or in modification, renewal, or extension thereof, in whole or in part, the “Note”).
D.    Any capitalized term used and not defined in this Guaranty shall have the meaning given to such term in the Loan Agreement.  This Guaranty is one of the Loan Documents described in the Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and as a material inducement to Lender to extend credit to Borrower, Guarantor hereby guarantees to Lender the prompt and full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (defined below), this Guaranty being upon the following terms and conditions:

1.Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  
(a)    Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Lender the punctual payment when due under the Loan Agreement, and not merely the collectability, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity, or otherwise, and at all times thereafter the payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower (hereinafter defined).  As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower” shall mean all obligations and liabilities of Borrower for which Borrower shall be personally liable pursuant to Article 13 of the Loan Agreement.  
(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Loan Documents to the contrary, Guarantor shall have no liability for the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or other matters hereunder for any action taken or event first occurring (a) following a foreclosure or acceptance of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure by Lender or its nominee pursuant to the Loan Agreement, or following any acquisition of title to the Property by Lender or its nominee, or (b) from and after a mezzanine loan foreclosure or assignment-in-lieu thereof of the direct or indirect ownership interest of Borrower by a mezzanine lender or its designee pursuant to the terms of a mezzanine loan permitted under the Loan Agreement, including without limitation, pursuant to Section 11.6 thereof, or otherwise entered into with the approval of Lender.
2.    Certain Agreements and Waivers by Guarantor.  
(a)    Guarantor hereby agrees that each of the following shall constitute Events of Default hereunder: (i) the occurrence of a default by Guarantor in payment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, when such indebtedness becomes due under the Loan Agreement (subject to any applicable notice and cure periods expressly set forth therein), and (ii) the dissolution, bankruptcy and/or insolvency of any Guarantor.
(b)    Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, for purposes of this Guaranty, shall be deemed immediately due and payable at the election of Lender.  Guarantor shall, on demand following such event, pay the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower to Lender.  It shall not be necessary for Lender, in order to enforce such payment, first to (i) institute suit or pursue or exhaust any rights or remedies against Borrower or others liable for the Debt, (ii) enforce any rights against any security that shall ever have been given to secure the Debt, (iii) join Borrower or any others liable for the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any part thereof in any action to enforce this Guaranty and/or (iv) resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  

2

(c)    Suit may be brought or demand may be made against all parties who have signed this Guaranty as Guarantor or any other guaranty covering all or any part of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or against any one or more of them, separately or together, without impairing the rights of Lender against any party hereto.  
(d)    In the event any payment by Borrower or any other Person to Lender is held to constitute a preference, fraudulent transfer or other voidable payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or if for any other reason Lender is required to refund such payment or pay the amount thereof to any other party, such payment by Borrower or any other party to Lender shall not constitute a release of Guarantor from any liability hereunder and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated (notwithstanding any prior release, surrender or discharge by Lender of this Guaranty or of Guarantor), as the case may be, with respect to, and this Guaranty shall apply to, any and all amounts so refunded by Lender or paid by Lender to another Person (which amounts shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower), and any interest paid by Lender and any attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses actually paid or incurred by Lender in connection with any such event.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by Borrower under any Loan Document is stayed or delayed by any law or tribunal, any amounts due and payable hereunder shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor on demand by Lender.
3.    Subordination.  If, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor:
(a)    such indebtedness and all interest thereon and all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing with respect to property of Borrower securing same shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower and to all liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing to secure the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower;
(b)    Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or receive payment, directly or indirectly, of any such indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid and performed; provided, however, nothing herein is intended to limit Borrower’s ability to make distributions to Guarantor in the normal course of operations of Borrower;
(c)    Guarantor hereby assigns and grants to Lender a security interest in all such indebtedness and security therefor, if any, of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, including any dividends and payments pursuant to debtor relief or insolvency proceedings referred to below.  In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other debtor relief or insolvency proceedings involving Borrower as debtor, Lender shall 

3

have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and shall have the right to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other custodian (whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing under any of the Loan Documents), dividends and payments that are payable upon any obligation of Borrower to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security therefor, until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid and performed.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Guarantor should receive any payment, claim or distribution that is prohibited as provided above in this Section, Guarantor shall pay the same to Lender immediately, Guarantor hereby agreeing that it shall receive the payment, claim or distribution in trust for Lender and shall have absolutely no dominion over the same except to pay it immediately to Lender; and
(d)    Guarantor shall promptly upon request of Lender from time to time execute such documents and perform such acts as Lender may require to evidence and perfect its interest and to permit or facilitate exercise of its rights under this Section.
4.    Other Liability of Guarantor or Borrower.  If Guarantor is or becomes liable, by endorsement or otherwise, for any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Lender other than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Lender hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lender may have against Guarantor.  
5.    Assignment by Lender.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender and Lender’s successors and permitted assigns, and in the event of an assignment by Lender of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower so assigned, may be transferred with such Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  Guarantor waives notice of any transfer or assignment of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, and agrees that failure to give notice will not affect the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder.
6.    Binding Effect.  This Guaranty is binding not only on Guarantor, but also on Guarantor’s heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.  Upon the death of Guarantor, if Guarantor is a natural person, this Guaranty shall continue against Guarantor’s estate as to all of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, including that portion incurred or arising after the death of Guarantor and shall be provable in full against Guarantor’s estate, whether or not the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower are then due and payable.  If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person, then all of the obligations of Guarantor arising hereunder shall be jointly and severally binding on each of the undersigned, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and the term “Guarantor” shall mean all of such Persons and each of them individually.

Without limitation of any other term, provision or waiver contained herein, Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has been furnished true, complete and correct copies of the Loan Documents and has reviewed the terms and provisions thereof (including, without limitation, the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower).
7.    Nature of Guaranty.  Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty (a) is a guaranty of payment and not only of collection and that Guarantor is liable hereunder as a primary obligor, (b) shall only be deemed discharged after the indefeasible satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower and the Debt, (c) shall not be reduced, released, discharged, satisfied or otherwise impacted in connection with (i) any act or occurrence that might, but for the provisions hereof, be deemed a legal or equitable reduction, satisfaction, discharge or release and/or (ii) Lender’s enforcement of remedies under the Loan Documents and (d) shall survive the foregoing and shall not merge with any resulting foreclosure deed, deed in lieu or similar instrument (if any).
8.    Governing Law.  The governing law and related provisions set forth in Section 17.2 of the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, any authorized agent provisions thereof) are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (with Guarantor substituted in all places where Borrower appears thereunder) and shall be deemed fully applicable to Guarantor hereunder.  Guarantor hereby certifies that it has received and reviewed the Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 17.2 thereof).    
9.    Invalidity of Certain Provisions. If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be declared to be invalid or unenforceable, neither the remaining provisions of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any other Person or circumstance shall be affected thereby, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, or the applicability of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, as applicable, shall remain in effect and be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.
10.    Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses of Collection.  Guarantor shall pay on demand all attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses actually incurred by Lender in the enforcement of or preservation of Lender’s rights under this Guaranty including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses, investigation costs, and all court costs, whether or not suit is filed herein, or whether at maturity or by acceleration, or whether before or after maturity, or whether in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency or appeal, or whether in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Guaranty against any other Guarantor, if there be more than one.  Guarantor agrees to pay interest on any expenses or other sums due to Lender under this Section 10 that are not paid when due, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate provided for in the Note.  Guarantor’s obligations and 

5

liabilities under this Section 10 shall survive any payment or discharge in full of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.
11.    Payments.  All sums payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in lawful money of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
12.    Controlling Agreement.  It is not the intention of Lender or Guarantor to obligate Guarantor to pay interest in excess of that lawfully permitted to be paid by Guarantor under applicable Legal Requirements.  Should it be determined that any portion of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower or any other amount payable by Guarantor under this Guaranty constitutes interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest that Guarantor, in Guarantor’s capacity as guarantor, may lawfully be required to pay under applicable Legal Requirements, the obligation of Guarantor to pay such interest shall automatically be limited to the payment thereof in the maximum amount so permitted under applicable Legal Requirements.  The provisions of this Section shall override and control all other provisions of this Guaranty and of any other agreement between Guarantor and Lender.
13.    Notices.  Any and all notices, elections, demands, requests and responses thereto permitted or required to be given under this Guaranty shall be given in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement.  Notices to Guarantor shall be addressed as follows:

14.    Cumulative Rights.  The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.  Lender shall have all rights, remedies and recourses afforded to Lender by reason of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or by law or equity or otherwise, and the same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Guarantor or others obligated for the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, or any part thereof, or against any one or more of them, or against any security or otherwise, at the sole discretion of Lender, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Guarantor that the exercise of, discontinuance of the exercise of or failure to exercise any of such rights, remedies, or recourses shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.  No waiver of any default on the part of Guarantor or of any breach of any of the provisions of this Guaranty or of any other document shall be considered a waiver of any other or subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising or enforcing the rights and powers granted herein or in any other document shall be construed as a waiver of such rights and powers, and no exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder or under any other document shall be held to exhaust such rights and powers, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time.  The granting of any consent, approval or waiver by Lender shall be limited to the specific instance and purpose therefor and shall not constitute consent or approval in any other instance or for any other purpose.  No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall of itself entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.  No provision of this Guaranty or any right, remedy or recourse of Lender with respect hereto, or any default or breach, can be waived, nor can this Guaranty or Guarantor be released or discharged in any way or to any extent, except specifically in each case by a writing intended for that purpose (and which refers specifically to this Guaranty) executed, and delivered to Guarantor, by Lender.
15.    Subrogation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower have been fully and finally paid, (a) Guarantor shall not have any right of subrogation in or under any of the Loan Documents or to participate in any way therein, or in any right, title or interest in and to any security or right of recourse for the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower, and (b) if Guarantor is or becomes an “insider” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) with respect to Borrower, then Guarantor hereby irrevocably and absolutely waives any and all rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or any similar rights against Borrower with 

7

respect to this Guaranty (including any right of subrogation, except to the extent of collateral held by Lender), whether such rights arise under an express or implied contract or by operation of law.  It is the intention of the parties that Guarantor shall not be deemed to be a “creditor” (as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) of Borrower by reason of the existence of this Guaranty in the event that Borrower or Guarantor becomes a debtor in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code.  This waiver is given to induce Lender to make the Loan as evidenced by the Note to Borrower.
16.    Further Assurances.  Guarantor at Guarantor’s expense will promptly execute and deliver to Lender upon Lender’s reasonable request all such other and further documents, agreements, and instruments in compliance with or accomplishment of the agreements of Guarantor under this Guaranty.
17.    No Fiduciary Relationship.  The relationship between Lender and Guarantor is solely that of lender and guarantor.  Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with or duty to Guarantor and none is created hereby or may be inferred from any course of dealing or act or omission of Lender.
18.    Interpretation.  If this Guaranty is signed by more than one Person as “Guarantor”, then the term “Guarantor” as used in this Guaranty shall refer to all such Persons jointly and severally, and all promises, agreements, covenants, waivers, consents, representations, warranties and other provisions in this Guaranty are made by and shall be binding upon each and every such undersigned Person, jointly and severally and Lender may pursue any Guarantor hereunder without being required (i) to pursue any other Guarantor hereunder or (ii) pursue rights and remedies under any Security Instrument and/or applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the Property or any other Loan Documents.
19.    Time of Essence.  Time shall be of the essence in this Guaranty with respect to all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
20.    Execution.  This Guaranty may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, for all purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
21.    Entire Agreement.  This Guaranty embodies the entire agreement between Lender and Guarantor with respect to the guaranty by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  This Guaranty supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any, with respect to guaranty by Guarantor of the Guaranteed Recourse Obligations of Borrower.  No condition or conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty exist.  This Guaranty shall be effective upon execution by Guarantor and delivery to Lender.  This Guaranty may not be modified, amended or superseded except in a writing signed by Lender 

8

and Guarantor referencing this Guaranty by its date and specifically identifying the portions hereof that are to be modified, amended or superseded.  The Loan Documents represent the final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or subsequent oral agreements of the parties.
22.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH OF GUARANTOR AND LENDER (BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY) HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO WHICH GUARANTOR AND LENDER MAY BE PARTIES ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR IN ANY WAY PERTAINING TO, THIS GUARANTY AND ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.  IT IS AGREED AND UNDERSTOOD THAT THIS WAIVER CONSTITUTES A WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OF ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ALL PARTIES TO SUCH ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS, INCLUDING CLAIMS AGAINST PARTIES WHO ARE NOT PARTIES TO THIS GUARANTY.  THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, WILLINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY GUARANTOR, AND GUARANTOR HEREBY REPRESENTS THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT OR OPINION HAVE BEEN MADE BY ANY INDIVIDUAL TO INDUCE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR TO IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.  GUARANTOR FURTHER REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS GUARANTY AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WAIVER WITH COUNSEL.
23.    Consent to Jurisdiction.  Guarantor irrevocably submits generally and unconditionally for itself and in respect of its property to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the State over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Guaranty, and irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such state or federal court.  Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that Guarantor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claims that any such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum.  Final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon Guarantor and may be enforced in any court in which Guarantor is subject to jurisdiction, by a suit upon such judgment provided that service of process is effected upon Guarantor as provided in the Loan Documents or as otherwise permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.  Guarantor hereby releases, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, all errors and all rights of exemption, appeal, stay of execution, inquisition, and other rights to which Guarantor may otherwise 

9

be entitled under the laws of the United States of America or of any state of possession of the United States of America now in force and which may hereinafter be enacted.  The authority and power to appear for and enter judgment against Guarantor shall not be exhausted by one or more exercises thereof or by any imperfect exercise thereof and shall not be extinguished by any judgment entered pursuant thereto.  Such authority may be exercised on one or more occasions or from time to time in the same or different jurisdiction as often as Lender shall deem necessary and desirable, for all of which this Guaranty shall be sufficient warrant.
