2.1.1        Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lenders shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan from Lenders on the Closing Date. The Loan shall be made in a series of advances and shall consist of: (i) the initial advance of principal in the amount of $81,772,345.00 (the “Initial Advance”) being made on the date hereof and (ii) Additional Advances that may be made after the date hereof in a maximum aggregate amount of up to the Maximum Additional Advance Amount. Lenders’ obligation (if any) to make any Advance after the date hereof is subject to the applicable terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement.

2.1.2        Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Initial Advance and each Additional Advance (subject to the applicable terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement) and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

2.1.3        The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith, in the maximum aggregate principal amount of Eighty Four Million Five and No/100 Dollars ($84,000,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Agent in evidence of the Loan (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.4        Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Property, (iii) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds,

 38 
 

(iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, (v) to the extent any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iv) above, for such lawful purpose as Borrower shall designate, provided such purpose does not violate the terms of any Loan Documents.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1        Interest Rate.

(a)                Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate. Each determination by Agent of the Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b)               In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR, Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower or any other party to this Agreement. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR.

(c)                Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.1, the Loan shall be a Term SOFR Loan and bear interest at the Term SOFR Rate. In the event that Agent shall have determined in its sole and absolute discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that one or more Benchmark Transition Events shall have occurred, Agent shall determine the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof, and Agent shall, at any time after the Benchmark Replacement Date, have the sole and exclusive right at its election, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Loan from a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan based on the applicable Benchmark Replacement selected by Agent as provided in the definition thereof, or if the Loan had previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan based upon a Benchmark Replacement, to an Alternate Rate Loan based on the applicable alternative Benchmark Replacement selected by Agent as provided in the definition thereof, provided in each case that such conversion shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) at the time of conversion, such applicable Benchmark Replacement is a floating rate index that is then commonly used by Agent in its floating rate commercial real estate loans originated and held on its balance sheet as an alternative to the then-current Benchmark, as determined by Agent in its sole but good faith discretion, and (B) such applicable Benchmark Replacement is administratively and commercially reasonable for Agent and each Lender to implement, as determined by Agent in its sole but good faith discretion. In the event the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied and the Loan is converted to an Alternate Rate Loan as provided above, the Loan shall bear interest at the applicable Alternate Rate effective as of the first day on which the Loan is converted to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. Agent will promptly notify the Borrower of the conversion of the Loan to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert (x) a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan or (y) an Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the then-current Benchmark Replacement to an alternative Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon any alternative Benchmark Replacement.

 39 
 

(d)               In the event that Agent shall have determined in its sole and absolute discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, or that the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain a Term SOFR Loan as contemplated hereunder, or Term SOFR would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Borrower may by law pay, and the Loan has not previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.1(c) above, Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion elect to give notice thereof to Borrower (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice). If such notice is given, the Term SOFR Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law, at Agent’s option (in Agent’s sole and absolute discretion), to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Term SOFR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan.

(e)                If, pursuant to Section 2.2.1(d) hereof, the Loan has been converted to Prime Rate Loan and Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable and Term SOFR can be determined as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. Upon the giving of such notice, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Term SOFR Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or a Term SOFR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(f)                If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.2.1(c) hereof, the Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan but thereafter Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the applicable Alternate Index Rate cannot be ascertained, or that the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain an Alternate Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, or the applicable Alternate Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that Borrower may by law pay, Agent may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect to give notice thereof to Borrower (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law, to a Prime Rate Loan bearing interest at the Prime Rate.

(g)               If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2.1, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and thereafter Agent has determined in its sole but good faith discretion that Term SOFR has been succeeded by a Benchmark Replacement and such Benchmark Replacement

 

 40 
 

can be determined, then Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, to convert the Loan from a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in, the provisions of Section 2.2.1(e) above, and Agent shall give notice thereof to Borrower (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date, and if such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to elect to convert an Alternate Rate Loan to a Prime Rate Loan or a Prime Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan.

(h)               Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to each Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate each Lender for any costs incurred by each Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by each Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the Term SOFR Loan (or Alternate Rate Loan) hereunder. Each Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(i)                 In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, Agent shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time that Agent in its sole but good faith discretion deems that are necessary, and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Borrower or any other party to this Agreement. Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes.

(j)                 Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2.1 or Section 2.6.3 hereof, including, but not limited to, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, the necessity and amount of any spread adjustment, any Conforming Changes, any replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement or Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole but good faith discretion and without consent from Borrower.

2.2.2        Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such Event of Default shall have occurred. Interest at the Default Rate shall accrue and be payable and included as part of the Debt regardless of any demand, and without limiting the foregoing shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Agent shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

2.2.3        Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (B) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (C) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period ending immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.

 

 41 
 

2.2.4        Usury Savings. 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 Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Agent or any 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 Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate 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 Agent or any 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.

2.2.5        Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Agent for its own account or for the account of the applicable Lender(s) (as the case may be) against any loss or expense which Agent or any Lender actually sustains or incurs in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Loan or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). Agent shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it (or any Lender) is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.5, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.5 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay, solely to the extent required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any Spread Maintenance Premium and/or Exit Fee applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loan.

Section 2.3 Loan Payments.

2.3.1        Payments. On July 1, 2022 and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Term, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance accruing through the last day of the Interest Period ending immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”). Borrower shall also pay to Agent all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.

2.3.2        Payments Generally. Each interest accrual period (each, an “Interest Period”) shall commence on the first (1st) calendar day of a calendar month and end on (and include) the last calendar day of such calendar month; provided, that in the event that the Agent elects to reset Term SOFR as provided in the definition of the term “Interest Determination Date” (i) the Interest Period then in effect shall end on (and include) the calendar day prior to the Securitization Date and (ii) a new Interest Period shall commence on the Securitization Date and shall end on (and

 

 42 
 

include) the last day of the calendar month in which such Securitization Date occurs. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. Agent shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that if Agent shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Agent shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period and the Interest Determination Date accordingly. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3        Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Agent on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest, the Exit Fee and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.4        Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Agent upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by law.

2.3.5        Method and Place of Payment.

(a)                Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Agent not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Agent’s office or at such other place as Agent shall from time to time designate, and any funds received by Agent after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)               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 the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c)                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.

2.3.6        Forwarding of Payments by Agent. Except as otherwise agreed by Agent and Lenders, each payment received by Agent under this Agreement or the Note for the account of any Lender shall be paid by Agent promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the Loan or other portion of the Debt in respect of which such payment is made.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) the Loan shall be allocated Ratably among the Lenders according to the amounts of their Ratable Share; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower (including those made from Net Proceeds) shall be made Ratably for the account of the Lenders; (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the Ratable account of Lenders and (d) all losses, costs and expenses suffered by the Agent and/or the Lenders relating to the Loan, in each case, shall be allocated by Agent pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Ratable Shares.

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

2.4.1        Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

2.4.2        Voluntary Prepayments.

Borrower shall have the right, only on a Business Day, to prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole, but not in part (except a partial prepayment premium shall be permitted in connection with a Permitted Partial Prepayment in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions hereof), upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a)                Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Prepayment Notice; and

(b)               Borrower shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 2.4.5; provided that if such prepayment is made on or after the Spread Maintenance Date, such prepayment shall be without any Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee other than the Exit Fee.

2.4.3        Mandatory Prepayments. If Agent is not obligated to make Net Proceeds available to Borrower for Restoration, on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which (a) Agent actually receives any Net Proceeds, and (b) Agent has determined that such Net Proceeds shall be applied against the Debt, Borrower shall prepay, or authorize Agent to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of, the Debt in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with the payment of the and the Exit Fee (it being agreed that any Exit Fee due and payable in connection with a partial prepayment consummated pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 shall, to the extent no Event of Default is then ongoing, be deferred and payable at the next instance when all or any portion of the Exit Fee is due and payable hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, the Exit Fee shall be immediately due and payable in connection with any full prepayment consummated pursuant to this Section 2.4.3)). Except during an Event of Default, such Net Proceeds shall be applied by Agent as follows in the following order of priority: First, to the Exit Fee (unless deferred as set forth above) and any other amounts (other than principal and interest) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders in connection with such prepayment); Second; accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, to principal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee other than the Exit Fee (which may be deferred as

 44 
 

contemplated above) shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3. Any partial principal prepayment under this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

2.4.4        Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default or from and after an acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor and accepted by Agent or is otherwise recovered by Agent (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and the Debt shall include, all of: (i) all accrued interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of such prepayment together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Default Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (ii) intentionally omitted, (iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), (iv) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date) and Exit Fee.

2.4.5        Prepayment/Repayment Conditions.

(a)                On the date on which a prepayment, voluntary or mandatory, is made under the Note or as required under this Agreement, which date must be a Business Day, Borrower shall pay to Agent:

(i)                 all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Repayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment;

(vi)             all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents.

 

 45 
 

(b)               Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with the repayment or prepayment (including without limitation, any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the Mortgage as set forth in Section 2.5 below and reasonable third party attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 2.5 Release of Property. (a) Agent shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, (i) release the Lien of the Mortgage and terminate the Assignment of Leases, or (ii) assign the Mortgage and Note, without recourse, covenant or warranty of any nature, express or implied, to a new lender designated by Borrower and shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to such new lender the assignment of Mortgage and Note; provided that (a) Borrower shall pay any costs, taxes and reasonable expenses incurred by Agent and Lender in connection therewith, and Agent’s and Lender’s reasonable third party attorneys’ fees for the preparation and delivery of the assignment or release documentation, (b) Borrower shall have caused the delivery of all customary or reasonable documents and affidavits required by Agent, and (c) such an assignment is not then prohibited by any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation or order or by any governmental authority.

(b) In connection with the release or satisfaction of the Mortgage and the Assignment of Leases or the assignment of the Mortgage, as applicable, Borrower shall submit to Agent, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Repayment Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion), a release of Mortgage and Assignment of Leases for the Property or assignment of Mortgage and Note, as applicable, for execution by Agent. Such release or satisfaction or assignment shall (i) be in a form appropriate for recording in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located, (ii) be satisfactory to Agent and (iii) contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation (including, without limitation, UCC-3 financing statements) Agent reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release of the Mortgage and Assignment of Leases and other Loan Documents or assignment of Mortgage and Note, as applicable, as well as an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage or the assignment of the Mortgage, including Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

Section 2.6 Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

2.6.1        Interest Rate Cap Agreement. Prior to or contemporaneously with the Closing Date, Borrower shall have obtained, and thereafter maintain in effect, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, which shall have a term expiring no earlier than the last day of the Interest Period in which the Stated Maturity Date occurs and have a notional amount which shall not at any time be

less than the Outstanding Principal Balance. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall have a strike rate equal to the Strike Price.

As security for the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations when due (whether upon stated maturity, by acceleration, early termination or otherwise), Borrower, as pledgor, hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and delivers to Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as collateral and hereby grants to Agent (on behalf of Lenders) a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in, to and under all of the following whether now owned or hereafter acquired and whether now existing or hereafter arising (the “Rate Cap Collateral”): all of the right, title and interest of Borrower in and to (i) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) all payments, distributions, disbursements or proceeds due, owing, payable or required to be delivered to Borrower in respect of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, whether as contractual obligations, damages or otherwise; and (iii) all of Borrower’s claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, options, security interests, liens and remedies, if any, under or arising out of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in each case including all accessions and additions to, substitutions for and replacements, products and proceeds of any or all of the foregoing.

2.6.3        Covenants.

(a)                Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Agent shall be deposited immediately into the Clearing Account pursuant to Section 6.1. Subject to terms hereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrower under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the other Rate Cap Collateral. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to enforce Borrower’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

(b)               Borrower shall defend Agent’s and Lenders’ right, title and interest in and to the Rate Cap Collateral pledged by Borrower pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons.

(c)                In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty such that it ceases to qualify as an “Approved Counterparty”, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Agent, Servicer or any other Person of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.

(d)               In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Agent the Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Agent in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date Borrower is notified in writing that such cost was incurred by Agent until such cost is paid by Borrower to Agent.

 

 47 
 

(e)                Borrower shall not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or grant a security interest in, any of the Rate Cap Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of Agent, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.

(f)                Borrower shall not (i) without the prior written consent of Agent, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) without the prior written consent of Agent, except in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, cause the termination of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement prior to its stated maturity date, (iii) without the prior written consent of Agent, except as aforesaid, waive or release any obligation of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (iv) without the prior written consent of Agent, consent or agree to any act or omission to act on the part of the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) which, without such consent or agreement, would constitute a default under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (v) fail to exercise promptly and diligently each and every material right which it may have under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (vi) take or intentionally omit to take any action or intentionally suffer or permit any action to be omitted or taken, the taking or omission of which would result in any right of offset against sums payable under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any defense by the Counterparty (or any successor or substitute party to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement) to payment or (vii) fail to give prompt notice to Agent of any notice of default given by or to Borrower under or with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, together with a complete copy of such notice. If Borrower shall have received written notice that the Securitization shall have occurred, no consent by Agent provided for in this Section 2.6.3 (f) shall be given by Agent unless Agent shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(g)               In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Agent an opinion of counsel from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty upon which Agent and its successors and assigns may rely (the “Counterparty Opinion”), under New York law and, if the Counterparty is a non-U.S. entity, the applicable foreign law, which shall provide in relevant part, that: (i) the issuer is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the issuer, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the issuer of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and

 

 48 
 

effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the issuer has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the issuer and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuer, enforceable against the issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(h)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, if, at any time, the Loan is converted from a Term SOFR Loan to either a Prime Rate Loan or an Alternate Rate Loan or from a Prime Rate Loan to a Term SOFR Loan or Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.1 hereof (each, a “Rate Conversion”) then:

(i)                 within thirty (30) days after such Rate Conversion, Borrower shall either (A) enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of, a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement (and in connection therewith, but not prior to Borrower taking all the actions described in this clause (i), Borrower shall have the right to terminate any then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement) or (B) cause the then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be modified such that such then-existing Interest Rate Cap Agreement satisfies the requirements of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement as set forth below in the definition thereof (a “Converted Interest Rate Cap Agreement”); and

(ii) following such Rate Conversion (provided Agent has not converted the Loan back to a Term SOFR Loan in accordance with Section 2.2.1(e) hereof), in lieu of satisfying the condition described in Section 2.7.1(b) hereof with respect to any outstanding Extension Period, Borrower shall instead enter into, make all payments under, and satisfy all conditions precedent to the effectiveness of a Substitute Interest Rate Cap Agreement on or prior to the first day of such Extension Period.

2.6.4        Powers of Borrower Prior to an Event of Default. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6.3(a), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrower under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the other Rate Cap Collateral.

2.6.5        Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby covenants with, and represents and warrants to, Agent and Lenders as follows:

(a)                The Interest Rate Cap Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

 49 
 

(b)               To Borrower’s knowledge, the Rate Cap Collateral is free and clear of all claims or security interests of every nature whatsoever, except such as are created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the same as herein provided without the consent of any other Person other than any such consent that has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

(c)                The Rate Cap Collateral has been duly and validly pledged hereunder. All consents and approvals required to be obtained by Borrower for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been obtained.

(d)               Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Agent (on behalf of Lenders), Agent (on behalf of Lenders) has, as of the date of this Agreement, and as to Rate Cap Collateral acquired from time to time after such date, shall have, a valid, and upon proper filing, perfected and continuing first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rate Cap Collateral; provided that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the perfected status of the security interest of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) in the proceeds of Rate Cap Collateral consisting of “cash proceeds” or “non-cash proceeds” as defined in the UCC except if, and to the extent, the provisions of Section 9-306 of the UCC shall be complied with.

(e)                Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as secured party, to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no financing statements under the UCC covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral and Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, until payment in full of all of the Obligations, execute and file in any public office, any enforceable financing statement or statements covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as secured party.

2.6.6        Payments. If Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, such amounts shall, immediately upon becoming payable to Borrower, be deposited by Counterparty into the Clearing Account.

2.6.7        Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:

(a)                Agent, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral (in one or more parcels and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith Agent may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Rate Cap Collateral are being purchased for investment only, Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable law. If all or any of the Rate Cap Collateral is sold by Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same

 

 50 
 

and, in the event of any such failure, Agent may resell such Rate Cap Collateral. It is expressly agreed that Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral, provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.

(b)               Agent may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of Borrower, all of Agent’s rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.

(c)                Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Agent and assigns and transfers unto Agent, and constitutes and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of Borrower under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including any power to subordinate or modify the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Agent in this Agreement, and Borrower further authorizes and empowers Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of Borrower which in the opinion of Agent may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.

(d)               To the extent Borrower shall have breached any provision of this Section

2.6 or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of Borrower or in the name of Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Agent; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to Borrower, or claims of Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.

 

 51 
 

(e)                Pursuant to the limited powers-of-attorney provided for above, Agent may (as and when it is entitled to exercise the powers-of-attorney as set forth in clause (d) above) take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Agent’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to Borrower representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of Borrower, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Rate Cap Collateral hereunder.

 

 

the UCC.

(f)                Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under

 

(g)               Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of

Borrower’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be performed or observed by Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Agent in exercising its rights under this Section 2.6.7(g) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by Borrower to Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.

2.6.8        Sales of Rate Cap Collateral. From and after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrower, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral, except that Agent shall give Borrower at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Agent may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Agent (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of Borrower, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent

 

 52 
 

permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private, Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Cap Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Agent shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement.

2.6.9        Public Sales Not Possible. Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In light of these considerations, Borrower agrees that private sales of the Rate Cap Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.

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

2.6.11    Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If, in connection with Borrower’s exercise of any Extension Option pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, Borrower delivers a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all the provisions of this Section 2.6 applicable to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered on the Closing Date shall be applicable to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Section 2.7 Extension Options.

2.7.1        Extension Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7, Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by written notice (which may be revoked upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ advanced notice, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any out-of-pocket cost and expenses incurred by Agent and any Lender in connection with such election and revocation) (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Agent no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Initial Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to June 1, 2025 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”, and such one-year extension term, the “First Extension Period”). In the event Borrower shall have exercised the First Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Second Extension Option”), by written notice (which may be revoked upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ advanced notice, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any out-of-pocket cost and expenses incurred by Agent and any Lender in connection with such election and revocation) (the “Second Extension Notice”) delivered to Agent no later than thirty (30) days prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, to extend the First Extended Maturity Date to June 1, 2026 (the “Second Extended Maturity Date”, and such one-year extension term, the “Second Extension Period”). In the event Borrower shall have

 

 53 
 

exercised the Second Extension Option, Borrower shall have the option (the “Third Extension Option”), by written notice (which may be revoked upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ advanced notice, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the payment of any out-of-pocket cost and expenses incurred by Agent and any Lender in connection with such election and revocation) (the “Third Extension Notice”; together with the First Extension Notice and the Second Extension Notice, individually or collectively, an "Extension Notice") delivered to Agent no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Second Extended Maturity Date, to extend the Second Extended Maturity Date to June 1, 2027 (the “Third Extended Maturity Date”, and such one-year extension term, the “Third Extension Period”). Borrower’s right to so extend the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:

(a)                (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice or the Second Extension Notice, as applicable, and

(ii) no Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the Stated Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable;

(b)               the representations and warranties made by Borrower in this Agreement, in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice or the Second Extension Notice, as applicable, and on the Stated Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date (unless the applicable representation and/or warranty relates to a different specified time period), subject to changes to such representations and warranties disclosed to Agent in writing, so long as such update is not the result of any breach of a covenant of Borrower under the Loan Documents and such changes do not result from any Default or Event of Default by Borrower;

(c)                if required by Agent, Guarantor(s) shall have reaffirmed in writing to Agent all of its obligations under the Bad Act Guaranty and the Carry Guaranty;

(d)               Borrower shall (i) obtain and deliver to Agent not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the first day of the term of the Loan as extended, one or more Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreements from an Approved Counterparty, in a notional amount equal to the Outstanding Principal Balance, which Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement(s) shall be (A) effective for the period commencing on the day immediately following the then applicable Maturity Date (prior to giving effect to the applicable Extension Option) and ending on the last day of the Interest Period in which the applicable extended Maturity Date occurs and (B) otherwise on same terms set forth in Section 2.6 and (ii) execute and deliver an Acknowledgment with respect to each such Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

(e)                Borrower shall promptly (within standard and customary time periods following the applicable Maturity Date) deliver a Counterparty Opinion with respect to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the related Acknowledgment;

(f)                all amounts due and payable by Borrower and any other Person pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as of the Initial Stated Maturity Date or the First

 54 
 

Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, and all costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders, including fees and expenses of Agent’s and each Lender’s third party counsel, in connection with the Loan and/or the applicable extension of the Term shall have been paid in full;

(g)               in connection with Borrower’s option to extend the Loan pursuant to this Section 2.7.1, on the date Borrower delivers an Extension Notice to extend the Loan to the First Extended Maturity Date, the Second Extended Maturity Date or the Third Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, the Debt Yield of the Property shall be equal to or greater than 5.00% for the First Extension Option, 6.00% for the Second Extension Option and 6.50% for the Third Extension Option; provided that Borrower shall be able to satisfy the requirements of this clause (g) by prepaying the Loan in accordance with Section 2.4 hereof in an amount such that, if the outstanding principal balance of the Loan used in the applicable Debt Yield calculation had been equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Loan after giving effect to such prepayment, the Debt Yield as of such date would have equaled or exceeded the required minimum Debt Yield (provided that any such prepayment shall be subject to the payment of the applicable Exit Fee); and

(h)               on the Initial Stated Maturity Date and the First Extended Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent the applicable Extension Fee.

If Borrower is unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Agent shall have no obligation to extend the applicable Stated Maturity Date hereunder.

2.7.2        Extension Documentation. As soon as practicable following an extension of the applicable Maturity Date pursuant to this Section 2.7, Borrower shall, if requested by Agent, execute and deliver an amendment of and/or restatement of the Note and shall, if requested by Agent, enter into such amendments to the related Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate to evidence the extension of the applicable Maturity Date as provided in this Section

2.7; provided, however, that no failure by Borrower to enter into any such amendments and/or restatements shall affect the rights or obligations of Borrower or Agent with respect to the extension of the applicable Maturity Date.

Section 2.8 Spread Maintenance Premium.

2.8.1        Exit Fee. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, upon any repayment or prepayment of the Loan, Borrower shall pay to Agent on the date of such repayment or prepayment the Exit Fee applicable thereto. Upon any acceleration of the Loan, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent on account of the Exit Fee the amount by which (i) one-half percent (.5%) of the sum of the amount of the Initial Advance plus the Maximum Additional Advance Amount exceeds (ii) the total amount of Exit Fees theretofore paid by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.8.1. All Exit Fees hereunder shall be deemed to be earned by Lenders upon the funding of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the Loan is repaid with the proceeds of a mortgage loan from DB (or any Affiliate thereof), the Exit Fee that is payable with respect to such repayment shall be credited towards any origination fee or similar upfront fee payable by Borrower to DB (or an applicable Affiliate thereof) in connection with DB (or the applicable Affiliate) providing the above referenced mortgage loan financing. For the avoidance of doubt, neither DB nor any Affiliate thereof shall have any obligation to offer to provide such financing.

 55 
 

2.8.2        Spread Maintenance Premium. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein to the contrary, upon any repayment or prepayment of the Loan (including in connection with an acceleration of the Loan) made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent on the date of such repayment or prepayment (or acceleration of the Loan) the Spread Maintenance Premium applicable thereto. All Spread Maintenance Premium payments hereunder shall be deemed to be earned by Lenders upon the funding of the Loan.

Section 2.9 Regulatory Change; Taxes.

2.9.1        Increased Costs. If as a result of any Change in Law or Regulatory Change, or compliance of any Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or any company Controlling any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or any Lender or the company Controlling any Lender shall be subject to (i) any tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of such Lender or the company Controlling such Lender); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of any Lender or any company Controlling any Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to interest rates based on the then-applicable Benchmark is imposed on any Lender or any company Controlling any Lender and such Lender in good faith determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender or any company Controlling such Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by such Lender or any company Controlling such Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then such Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender within ten (10) Business Days following such Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or any company Controlling such Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent such Lender determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.9.1, such Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrower to such Lender, furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

2.9.2        Special Taxes. Borrower shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9.2) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions required to be made by Borrower under applicable Legal Requirements, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.9.3        Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with

 56 
 

respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

2.10.2    Optional Disbursements.

(a)    If any or all conditions precedent to making an Additional Advance have not been satisfied on the date such Advance was requested to be made, Agent may, at its option and in its sole discretion (subject only to any applicable approvals of Lenders) (i) waive so many of such conditions precedent as it may elect, and/or (ii) disburse only that portion of the requested Additional Advance for which all of the conditions precedent have been satisfied. To the extent Lenders make an Additional Advance for which any of the conditions precedent have not been satisfied, the making of such Additional Advance shall constitute a waiver of such unsatisfied conditions for such Additional Advance (but not for any other Additional Advance), unless otherwise expressly set forth in a written notice from Agent to Borrower (provided that if the absence of such condition precedent would cause a Default or Event of Default hereunder, Agent’s waiver herein shall not constitute a waiver of such Default or Event of Default).

(b)   Each Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation), by its own action (and without any request therefor by Borrower), to disburse to Agent or itself (or retain from) any amount from any Additional Advance made to Borrower to pay interest, fees and any other sums then due and payable to Agent and/or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents.

2.10.3    In-Balance. Borrower shall at all times, cause the undisbursed portion of the Loan that may be available in accordance with the terms hereof for specified Approved Leasing Expenses to be equal to or greater than the amount which Agent from time to time determines necessary, in its sole but good faith discretion, to pay for said Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to commercial Leases at the Property (the foregoing requirement hereinafter referred to as the requirement to be “In-Balance”). If Agent determines at any time that the Loan is not In-Balance, then Borrower shall deposit the shortfall (the “In-Balance Shortfall Amount”) with Agent and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Agent shall not be required to disburse any proceeds of the Loan until Borrower deposits the applicable In-Balance Shortfall Amount. Any funds deposited in accordance with this paragraph shall be available for payment of Approved Leasing Expenses upon satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent to the funding of Additional Advances hereunder.

 

 61 
 

2.10.4    Future Funding Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge that the obligations of the Lenders hereunder to fund the Future Advances (the “Future Funding Obligations”) will be solely the obligation of each individual Lender (each as to its Ratable Share of the Future Funding Obligations in question). As used in this Section 2.10.4 all references to the individual Lenders shall be deemed to include their respective successors and assigns. In no event shall Borrower be entitled to receive Carry Cost Advances after the occurrence of the Initial Maturity Date (at which time all funding obligations hereunder of each Lender with respect to Carry Cost Advances shall terminate). For the avoidance of doubt in no event shall the Leasing Cost Maximum Additional Advance Amount increase in connection with the termination of the obligation to make Carry Cost Advances as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrower or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

 79 
 

been approved by Agent (subject to any commercially reasonable changes made in the course of negotiations with the applicable Tenant), (vi) is not with an Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor, and (vii) does not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except if such termination right is triggered by the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Property) or any other terms which would materially adversely affect Agent’s rights under the Loan Documents. All other Leases (including Major Leases) and all renewals, amendments and modifications thereof executed after the date hereof shall be subject to Agent’s prior approval.

(b)               Borrower shall not permit or consent to any assignment or sublease of any Major Lease without Agent’s prior written approval (other than assignments or subleases expressly permitted under any Major Lease pursuant to a unilateral right of the Tenant thereunder not requiring the consent of Borrower). Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver its standard form of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement to Tenants under any future Major Lease approved by Agent upon request, with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by such Tenants and which are acceptable to Agent.

(c)                Borrower shall have the right, without the consent or approval of Agent, to terminate or accept a surrender of any Lease that is not a Major Lease so long as such termination or surrender is (i) by reason of a tenant default and (ii) in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property.

(d)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.11.2, provided no Event of Default is continuing, whenever Agent’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.11.2, Agent’s consent shall be deemed given if:

(i)                 the first correspondence from Borrower to Agent requesting such approval or consent is in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” and contains a bold-faced, conspicuous (in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14) point) legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “FIRST NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT UNDER THE LOAN BY DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH, AS AGENT FOR CERTAIN LENDERS TO BLOCK 40 PROPERTY, LLC. FAILURE TO RESPOND TO THIS REQUEST WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS MAY RESULT IN THE REQUEST BEING DEEMED

GRANTED”, and is accompanied by the information and documents required above, and any other information reasonably requested by Agent in writing prior to the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period in order to adequately review the same has been delivered; and

(ii)              if Agent fails to respond or to deny such request for approval in writing within the first five (5) Business Days of such twelve (10) Business Day period, a second notice requesting approval is delivered to Agent from Borrower in an envelope marked “PRIORITY” containing a bold-faced, conspicuous in a font size that is not less than fourteen (14) point) legend at the top of the first page thereof stating that “SECOND AND FINAL NOTICE: THIS IS A REQUEST FOR CONSENT UNDER THE LOAN BY DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH, AS AGENT FOR

 80 
 

CERTAIN LENDERS TO BLOCK 40 PROPERTY, LLC. IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE A SUBSTANTIVE RESPONSE (E.G., APPROVAL, DENIAL OR REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION OR MORE INFORMATION) TO THIS REQUEST FOR APPROVAL IN WRITING WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS,

YOUR APPROVAL SHALL BE DEEMED GIVEN” and Agent fails to provide a substantive response to such request for approval within such second five (5) Business Day period.

Borrower (i) shall observe and perform in all material respects the 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 Tenants thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Agent’s prior approval; (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); and (v) shall not alter, modify or change any Lease so as to change the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the Tenant or increase the obligations of the lessor (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that Borrower shall be permitted to modify any Lease that is not a Major Lease without Lender’s prior written consent provided that: (x) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (y) the applicable modification satisfies the Leasing Criteria, and (z) said modification does not cause the applicable Lease to qualify as a Major Lease hereunder). Upon request (which request shall not be made more than one time per calendar month), Borrower shall furnish Agent with executed copies of all Leases. Borrower shall promptly send copies to Agent of all written notices of material default which Borrower shall receive under the Leases.

4.11.4    Security Deposits. All security deposits of Tenants, whether held in cash or any other form, shall be held in compliance with all Legal Requirements, shall not be commingled with any other funds of Borrower. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Agent’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, cause all such security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) to be transferred into the Deposit Account (which shall then be held by Deposit Bank in a separate Account), which shall be held by Deposit Bank subject to the terms of the Leases. Any bond or other instrument which Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements (i) shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as herein above described, (ii) shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (iii) shall, if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Agent as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Agent’s option, be fully assignable to Agent), and (iv) shall in all respects comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be satisfactory to Agent.

 83 
 

do not involve any economic terms and would not be reasonably expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect.

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the Gross Revenue from the Property (less non-continuing expenses) for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period. All proceeds payable to Agent pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Agent and shall be applied to the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and

 95 
 

payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its Obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iv)             at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the property or liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply, (A) commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policy required as set forth in Section 5.1.1(a); and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(xii)          upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Agent from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located;.

(b)               All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the approval of Agent as to form and substance, including insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Agent, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (and, upon the written request of Agent, copies of such Policies) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Agent of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Agent.

(c)                Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Agent approval and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”). To the extent that the Policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of the Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth in Section 5.1.1(a) for the Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis. Borrower shall notify Agent of any changes to the Acceptable Blanket Policy, including changes to the limits and the insured values covered under the Acceptable Blanket Policy, which such changes shall be subject Agent’s approval.

(d)               All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a), shall name Borrower as a named insured and, with respect to Policies of liability insurance, except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (viii), shall name Agent (on behalf of Lenders) and its successors and/or assigns as additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of Policies of property insurance, including but not limited to special form/all-risk, boiler and machinery, terrorism, windstorm, flood, rental loss and/or business interruption and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Agent unless below the threshold for Borrower to handle such claim without Agent intervention as provided in Section 

 97 
 

5.2 below. Additionally, if Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Agent.

(e)                All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), shall:

(i)                 with respect to the Policies of property insurance, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Agent is concerned (2) the Policies shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Agent, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium and (3) the issuer(s) of the Policies shall give written notice to Agent if the issuers elect not to renew the Policies prior to its expiration;

(ii)              with respect to all Policies of liability insurance, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Agent and any other party named therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by applicable Legal Requirement (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice and (2) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Agent if the issuers elect not to renew such Policies prior to its expiration. If the issuers cannot or will not provide notice, the Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and

(iii)            not contain any clause or provision that would make either Agent or any Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f)                If at any time Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Agent shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(g)               In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Agent or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(h)               The property insurance, commercial general liability, umbrella liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (or at least not specifically exclude same) and Borrower shall maintain property insurance, commercial general liability, umbrella liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts and deductibles) consistent with those required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) above (or at least not specifically excluding same) at all times during the term of the Loan. For so long as TRIPRA is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, Agent shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA.

(i)                 Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a)(i) or (h) above to the contrary, Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under subsection (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a)(i) above, Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as standalone coverage) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under subsection (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. Borrower shall obtain the coverage required under this clause (i) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage.

5.1.2        Insurance Company. All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1: (i) shall be issued by companies authorized or licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located, with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of (1) “A” or better by S&P (provided, however for multi-layered policies, (A) if four (4) or fewer insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a rating of “A” or better by S&P, with no remaining carrier below “BBB” with S&P, or (B) if five (5) or more insurance companies issue the Policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the Policies must be provided by insurance companies with a rating of “A” or better by S&P, with no remaining carrier below “BBB” with S&P, and (2) “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain general liability and umbrella coverage with James River Insurance Company, rated “A IX” by AM Best, provided that (x) the AM Best rating of James River Insurance Company as of the date hereof is not withdrawn or downgraded below the date hereof and (y) at renewal of the current policy term on 03/16/2023, Borrower shall replace James River Insurance Company with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove; (ii) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause/Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Agent as the person to whom all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iii) shall contain a waiver of

 99 
 

subrogation against Agent; (iv) shall contain such provisions as Agent deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing (A) that neither Borrower, Agent nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies and (B) in addition to complying with any other requirements expressly set forth in Section 5.1, for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Agent; and (v) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Agent and shall be approved by Agent as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1 above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Agent in order to protect its interests. Complete copies of the Policies shall be delivered to Agent at the address below (or to such other address or Person as Agent shall designate from time to time by notice to Borrower) on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies:

DEUTSCHE BANK AG, NEW YORK BRANCH,

its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear 1 Columbus Circle,

New York, New York 10019 Attn: Joanne Marcino

Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Agent evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Agent in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof). Within thirty (30) days after request by Agent, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Agent, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices.

Section 5.2 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 thereof to Agent. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction (provided, however, solely to the extent that Lender is obligated pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement to make insurance proceeds available and fails (in violation of the terms of this Agreement) to make the same available, Borrower shall not be obligated to proceed with such portion of the restoration which would be covered by the applicable insurance proceeds until such time as Agent makes the same available). Agent may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Agent may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve in its reasonable discretion any final settlement) (i) if an Event of Default is continuing or

 

 100 
 

(ii)    with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000) and Borrower shall deliver to Agent all instruments required by Agent to permit such participation. Any Insurance Proceeds in connection with any Casualty (whether or not Agent elects to settle and adjust the claim or Borrower settles such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Agent and held by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Borrower or any party other than Agent is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Agent (on behalf of Lenders). Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Agent as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Agent (on behalf of Lenders). Borrower hereby releases Agent and Lenders from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Agent of any claims in respect of any Casualty.

Section 5.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Agent notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property and shall deliver to Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Agent all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Agent, 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 Agent, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Agent 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 5.4, whether or not an Award is available to pay the costs of such Restoration (provided, however, solely to the extent that Agent is obligated pursuant to the express terms of this Agreement to make any Award available to Borrower for restoration and fails (in violation of the terms of this Agreement) to make the same available, Borrower shall not be obligated to proceed with such portion of the restoration which would be covered by the applicable insurance proceeds until such time as Agent makes the same available). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Agent of the Award, Agent 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.

Section 5.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:

(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, and provided no

 

 101 
 

Event of Default is continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Agent to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Agent 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, the Net Proceeds will be held by Agent and Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Agent pursuant to Section 5.1.1 (a)(i), (iii), (iv), (vi) and Section 5.1.1(h) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(A)             no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(B)              (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;

(C)              Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) 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 Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto that are not being made by Borrower as part of the Restoration at their sole cost and expense;

(D)             Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

 

 102 
 

(E)              Agent shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(F)               Agent shall be satisfied that the (x) Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date three (3) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (4) six (6) months prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) and (y) the Property can be restored to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation;

(G)             intentionally omitted;

(H)             the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, the EB-5 Program) as well as the EB-5 Documents;

(I)                the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirement;

(J)                such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;

(K)             the Restoration DSCR, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 2:53:1.00;

(L)              the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than sixty-two percent (62%); provided that the Loan to Value Ratio shall be equal to or less than sixty five percent (65%) if the Loan has been fully advanced to Borrower as of the date of such Restoration;

(M)            Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Agent; and

(N)             the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Agent are sufficient in Agent’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

 103 
 

(ii)              The Net Proceeds shall be held by Agent in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Agent that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, 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 Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Agent by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

(iii)            All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Agent and an independent consulting engineer selected by Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”). Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Agent and any Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.

(iv)             In no event shall Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, (A) an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work and materials in place as part of the Restoration (excluding any “soft costs” for which retainage is not customary) until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that Net Proceeds representing fifty percent (50%) of the required Restoration have been disbursed and (B) an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred for work and materials in place as part of the Restoration (excluding any “soft costs” for which retainage is not customary) thereafter. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Agent receives evidence satisfactory to Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or

 104 
 

will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Agent or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (iii)  Agent receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v)               Agent 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 (excluding the Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a)(iii)) or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Agent 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 Agent (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent shall be deposited by Agent into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

(vii)          The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), and the receipt by Agent of evidence satisfactory to Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.

(a)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 5.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Agent’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal

property or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Award (after payment of Agent’s and Lenders’ costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Agent) or the net Insurance Proceeds (after payment of Agent’s and Lenders’ costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Agent), as the case may be, or (ii) a “qualified amount” as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Agent receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrower as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4.

(b)               All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Agent in accordance with Section 2.4.3 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Agent shall approve, in its discretion. Additionally, throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrower shall pay to Agent, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), an additional amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if such payment is made prior to the Spread Maintenance Date) and the Exit Fee; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Spread Maintenance Premium shall be payable.

(c)                In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Agent or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(d)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty, any insurance company makes a payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Agent and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower (i) has demonstrated to Agent’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that have been received from the property insurance companies are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full or (ii) to the extent Borrower is not able to satisfy Agent as to the sufficiency of the remaining funds to pay 100% of the Restoration or to satisfy the Obligations in full prior to distribution of Net Proceeds, Borrower has agreed to fund any shortfall from funds other than from Gross Revenues or borrowed funds and has provided such security as Agent may require to insure payment of such shortfalls.

 106 
 

To the extent any payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy is treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (f), such funds shall be deposited into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Provided that no Event of Default then exists, Insurance Proceeds treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (f) (to the extent of available funds) shall be (A) first applied by Agent, on each Monthly Payment Date, to pay for Debt Service, deposits of Reserve Funds and payments of Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount and Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, in each case as approved by Agent actually incurred (collectively, the “Approved Monthly BI Expenses”) for such month pursuant to, and in the priorities set forth in, Section 6.16.1, and (B) second, to the extent that Agent determines that the amount of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds then remaining in the Casualty and Condemnation Account is sufficient to pay for all future Approved Monthly BI Expenses through the completion of the subject Restoration and stabilization of the Property, disbursed by Agent to Borrower in an aggregate amount under this clause (B) not to exceed the Approved Monthly BI Expenses actually incurred and paid for by Borrower from the date of the applicable Casualty to the date of the first installment of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds advanced by the applicable insurance company (as evidenced by supporting documentation by Borrower that is acceptable to Agent). Provided no Trigger Period then exists, all remaining business or rental interruption insurance proceeds shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the final completion of the subject Restoration and the recommencement of full unabated rent being paid by the Tenants under the Leases required to remain in place pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(i)(C).

CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS

Section 6.1 Cash Management Arrangements.

(a)                Borrower shall cause all Gross Revenue to be transmitted directly by non-residential Tenants of the Property into a trust account (the “Clearing Account”) established and maintained by Borrower at an Eligible Institution selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Agent (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. To the extent the Borrower receives notice from the Clearing Bank that it intends to terminate the Clearing Account Agreement, Borrower shall establish a new Clearing Account at an Eligible Institution reasonably approved by Agent and enter into a new clearing account agreement that is substantially similar to then-existing Clearing Account Agreement (with such changes as are reasonably approved by Agent) on or prior to the date such then-existing Clearing Account Agreement is terminated. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Borrower or Manager receive any Gross Revenue from the Property (including, without limitation, amounts payable pursuant to the Development Agreement or in relation to the Development Agreement Benefits), then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Agent (on behalf of Lenders), (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (iii) Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts in the Clearing Account within one (1) Business Day of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into Borrower’s operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Trigger Period is

 107 
 

continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into the Deposit Account and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account that are invested shall be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. Agent may also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Accounts”). The Deposit Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole dominion and control of Agent, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

(b)               Borrower or Manager shall, within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, deliver a notice in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto to each existing non-residential Tenant at the Property (the “Tenant Direction Letter”), directing such non-residential Tenants to remit their rent checks directly to the Clearing Bank in accordance with such Tenant Direction Letter, and shall also deliver a Tenant Direction Letter to each future non-residential Tenant at the Property.

Section 6.2 Intentionally Omitted. Section 6.3 Tax Funds.

6.3.1        Deposits of Tax Funds. Borrower shall deposit with Agent (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $43,399.81 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Real Estate Taxes that Agent estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (initially, $3,945.44), in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Real Estate Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account (the “Tax Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds”. If at any time Agent reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Real Estate Taxes, Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Real Estate Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Real Estate Taxes; provided, that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Real Estate Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit with or on behalf of Agent such amount within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of such notice.

6.3.2        Release of Tax Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Agent shall direct Servicer to apply Tax Funds in the Tax Account to payments of Real Estate Taxes. In making any payment relating to Real Estate Taxes, Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Real Estate Taxes) without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Real Estate Taxes and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Agent shall, in its sole but good faith discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds. Any Tax Funds remaining in the Tax Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

(i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $0 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Agent estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (initially $48,289.64), in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the “Insurance Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds”. If at any time Agent reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Agent shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Agent estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.

6.4.2        Release of Insurance Funds.

In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Agent may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Agent shall, in its sole but good faith discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Funds. Any Insurance Funds remaining in the Insurance Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.

6.4.3        Acceptable Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.4.1, in the event that an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1, deposits into the Insurance Account required for Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 6.4.1 above shall be suspended to the extent that Insurance Premiums relate to such Acceptable Blanket Policy.

Amounts deposited from time to time into the Capital Expenditure Account pursuant to this Section 6.5.1 are referred to herein as the “Capital Expenditure Funds”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the CapEx Monthly Deposit shall be suspended on each Monthly Payment Date on which: (x) no Event of Default is then ongoing and (y) the amount of deposit the Capital Expenditure Account equals or exceeds $0 (the “CapEx Cap”). Agent may reassess its

 109 
 

estimate of the amount necessary for Capital Expenditures (with a commensurate increase in the CapEx Cap) from time to time and may require Borrower to increase the monthly deposits required pursuant to this Section 6.5.1 upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation of the Property.

6.5.2        Release of Capital Expenditure Funds. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Agent shall direct Servicer to disburse Capital Expenditure Funds to Borrower out of the Capital Expenditure Account, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Agent of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Capital Expenditure Account is less than $10,000 in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) provided that: (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expenditure; (ii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrower (1) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are Approved Capital Expenditures, and a description thereof, (2) stating that all work related to the Approved Capital Expenditures to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed (or completed to the extent of the requested disbursement) in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (3) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Approved Capital Expenditures to be funded by the requested disbursement, (4) stating that each such Person has been paid in full not more than ninety (90) days prior to the disbursement request or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, or if such payment is a progress payment, that such payment represents full payment to such Person, less any applicable retention amount, for work completed through the date of the relevant invoice from such Person, and (5) stating that the Approved Capital Expenditures (or the relevant portions thereof) to be funded from the disbursement in question have not been the subject of a previous disbursement from any Account or included in any previous disbursement of Operating Expenses or Capital Expenditures,

(6) stating that all previous disbursements of Capital Expenditure Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenditures, (B) a copy of any license, permit or other approval required by any Governmental Authority in connection with the Approved Capital Expenditures and not previously delivered to Agent, (C) only with respect to Approved Capital Expenditures in an amount of $10,000 or more, copies of appropriate lien waivers, conditional lien waivers, or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (D) only with respect to Approved Capital Expenditures in an amount of $10,000 or more, at Agent’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Agent, and (E) such other evidence as Agent shall reasonably request (to the extent in Borrower’s possession or reasonably obtainable by Borrower) to demonstrate that the Approved Capital Expenditures to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower (or the portion thereof as to which such request for disbursement has been submitted has been completed and is paid for (other than any retention amount which is not a part of such disbursement request) or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower) and (iii) if such disbursement request is for $50,000 or more, Agent shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expenditure.

6.6.1        Deposit of Carry Cost Shortfall Funds. At any time that Agent estimates in its reasonable discretion that the Carry Cost Available Amount may not be sufficient to pay the Carry Costs required to be paid through the succeeding one hundred eighty (180) day period, Agent shall send written notice to Borrower (the “Carry Cost Shortfall Notice”) of such determination and Borrower shall deposit with Agent, within ten (10) days of delivery of such Carry Cost Shortfall Notice, an amount equal to (I) the amount Agent determines in its reasonable discretion is sufficient to cover all Carry Costs through the earlier to occur of (x) the Initial Stated Maturity Date and (y) the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of Agent’s determination less (II) the amount of Carry Cost Shortfall Funds then on deposit in the Carry Cost Account (such amount being herein referred to as the “Carry Cost Shortfall”). All amounts deposited with Agent pursuant to this Section 6.6.1 shall be transferred by Agent into an Account (the “Carry Cost Account”) to be held and disbursed in accordance with this Section 6.6. For the avoidance of doubt, a Carry Cost Shortfall may exist whether or not Agent delivers a Carry Cost Shortfall Notice to Borrower. Failure to make such deposit as set forth herein shall be an immediate Event of Default. Amounts deposited from time to time in the Carry Cost Account pursuant to this Section 6.7.1 are referred to herein as the “Carry Cost Shortfall Funds”.

6.6.2        Disbursement of Carry Cost Shortfall Funds.

Section 6.16 Property Cash Flow Allocation.

6.16.1    Order of Priority of Funds in Deposit Account. On each Monthly Payment Date during the continuance of a Trigger Period, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all funds deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on such Monthly Payment Date in the following order of priority:

(i)                 First, to the Tax Account, to make the required payments of Tax Funds as required under Section 6.3;

(ii)              Second, to the Insurance Account, to make any required payments of Insurance Funds as required under Section 6.4;

(iii)            Third, to the payment of all fees, costs and expenses due to Lender and/or Agent under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any Servicing Fees that are due and unpaid (which payment of Servicing Fees, at Agent’s option, may be made directly to Servicer)

(iv)             Fourth, to Agent, funds sufficient to pay the interest, due on such Monthly Payment Date, applied first to the payment of interest computed at the Interest Rate with the remainder applied to the reduction of the Outstanding Principal Balance;

 112 
 

(v)               Fifth, to the Capital Expenditure Account, to make the required payments of Capital Expenditure Funds as required under Section 6.5;

(vi)             Intentionally omitted;

(vii)          Sixth, to Agent, of any other amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents;

(viii)        Seventh, to Borrower, funds in an amount equal to (I) the lesser of

(ix)             Eighth, to Borrower, payments for Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, if any; and

(x)               Lastly, all amounts remaining after payment of the amounts set forth in clauses (i) through ix above (the “Available Cash”) to the Cash Collateral Account to be held or disbursed in accordance with Section 6.12.

6.16.2    Failure to Make Payments. The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments (whether to Agent to any other applicable payee) required under clauses (i) through x of Section 6.16.1 in full on each Monthly Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account (as opposed to subaccounts thereof) for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Accounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.

6.16.3    Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 6, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrower then in the possession of Agent, Servicer or Deposit Bank (including any Gross Revenue and Reserve Funds on deposit in any Cash Management Account) and apply such funds to the payment of the items for which the Reserve Funds were established, or to the payment of the Debt and the Other Obligations, any other amounts owed by Borrower to any Person and/or any other Property-related costs and expenses (including without limitation, operating expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, tenant allowances and leasing commissions), in such order, proportion and priority as Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Agent’s right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents.

Section 6.17 Security Interest in Reserve Funds. As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Agent and Lenders, and grants to Agent and Lenders a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Gross Revenue and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account and Accounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”).

 113 
 

Borrower hereby grants to Agent and Lenders a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Agent and Lenders, all Gross Revenue in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Gross Revenue to Agent or (ii) deposit of such Gross Revenue into the Deposit Account. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account to the Debt and the Other Obligations, any other amounts owed by Borrower to any Person and/or any other Property-related costs and expenses (including without limitation, operating expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, tenant allowances and leasing commissions) in any order and in any manner as Agent shall elect in Agent’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Agent to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Agent. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Account shall accrue for the benefit of Agent and shall be taxable to Borrower. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

Section 6.18 Erroneous Payments. Borrower hereby agrees that (i) if Agent notifies Borrower that Agent has determined in its sole but good faith discretion that any funds received by Borrower from Agent (a “Funding”) were erroneously transmitted to Borrower (whether with respect to amount or timing and whether or not known to Borrower), and demands the return of such Funding (or a portion thereof), Borrower shall promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, return to Agent the amount of any such Funding (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Funding (or portion thereof) was received by Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to Agent at the greater of the NYFRB Rate and a rate determined by Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect, to the extent not paid within said five (5) Business Day period; (ii) any failure by Borrower to return to Agent any such Funding (or portion thereof) in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (i) shall constitute an Event of Default and (iii) to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, as to Agent and Lender, any claim, counterclaim, defense (whether at law or in equity) or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Agent or Lender for the return of any such Funding received erroneously by Borrower. A notice of Agent to Borrower under this Section 6.18 shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 6.18 shall survive any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, Agent or any Lender and the repayment, satisfaction and/or discharge of all Obligations under this Agreement

(iv)             the Property shall continue to be managed by a property manager acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion and acceptable to the applicable Rating Agencies.

Section 8.2 Remedies.

 

 122 
 

8.2.1        Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time thereafter, Agent may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce its and Lenders’ rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Agent may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

8.2.2        Remedies Cumulative. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Agent and Lenders against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Agent at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Agent shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Agent and Lenders may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) neither Agent nor any Lender shall be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Agent and Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Agent and Lenders have exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. 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.

8.2.3        Severance.

 123 
 

(a)                During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Agent may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Agent may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

(b)               During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder; provided that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Agent shall not have the right to, and Borrower shall not be required to, modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the weighted interest rate effective immediately prior to such modification (other than in connection with a mandatory prepayment in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation where such funds are not required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration or a prepayment during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default), the stated maturity date or the amortization of principal as set forth herein or in the Note, (ii) alter the rights or increase the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan Documents (other than to a de minimis extent), or (iii) otherwise modify or amend any other economic or other material term of the Loan (other than to a de minimis extent). Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent from time to time, promptly after the request of Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Agent shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent 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, Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Agent of Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

(c)                During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Property or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine.

8.2.4        Agent’s Right to Perform. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent may, but shall have no obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any covenant or obligation hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or being deemed to have cured any Default or Event of Default hereunder, and without

 124 
 

in any way limiting Agent’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, perform, or cause the performance of, any covenant or obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Agent determines in its sole discretion in each instance, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Agent incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be due and payable by Borrower within five (5) Business Days of demand and, if not paid within said time period, shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and in each case shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period after the date of demand (or, to the extent demand may not be made due to applicable Legal Requirements, from the date incurred) by or on behalf of Agent until the date of payment by Borrower to Agent.

Borrower shall furnish to Agent, in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents and on an ongoing basis, financial data and/or financial statements with respect to such Tenants meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Agent, 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 the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.

(e)                If Agent determines that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, are a Significant Obligor, then Borrower shall furnish to Agent, on an ongoing basis, selected financial data or financial statements meeting the requirements of Item 1112(b)(1) or (2) of Regulation AB, as specified by Agent, but only for so long as such entity or entities are a Significant Obligor and either (x) Exchange Act Filings are required to be made under applicable Legal Requirements or (y) comparable information is required to otherwise be “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification.

(a)                Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information and other information provided to Agent by Borrower and its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in preliminary and final disclosure documents in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization, including without limitation, an offering circular, a prospectus, a prospectus supplement, a private placement memorandum, a structural and collateral term sheet or any other offering document (each, a “Disclosure Document”) (such Provided Information and such other information included in any Disclosure Document collectively, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, investment banking firms, NRSROs, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to any Secondary Market Transaction, including a Securitization. Borrower also understands that the findings and conclusions of any third-party due diligence report obtained by the Agent, the Issuer or the Securitization placement agent or underwriter may be made publicly available if required, and in the manner prescribed, by Section 15E(s)(4)(A) of the Exchange Act and any rules promulgated thereunder.

(b)               Borrower and Guarantor each hereby agrees to indemnify Agent and Lenders (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Agent shall include the initial agent, initial lenders, their successors and assigns, and their respective officers and directors) and each Person who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), the issuer of the Securities (the “Issuer” and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Issuer shall include its officers, director and each Person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls the placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon,

(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein 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, or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.31 of this Agreement (Full and Accurate Disclosure). Borrower also agrees to reimburse Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise

 

 129 
 

have. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 9.2(b). Within five (5) Business Days after Agent’s written request, Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Agent a separate indemnification and reimbursement agreement in favor of the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group in form and substance consistent with the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Borrower under this Section 9.2(b). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification provided for under this Section 9.2(b) shall be effective whether or not an indemnification and reimbursement agreement described above is provided.

(c)                In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, the Covered Disclosure Information, and (ii) reimburse Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

(d)               Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying party shall not pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party 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 party, 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 party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal

 130 
 

defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any other indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party 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 party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Agent reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.

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

(f)                The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Agent under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 9.3 Severance. Subject to Section 9.4 hereof:

9.3.1        Severance Documentation. Agent, without in any way limiting Agent’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to require Borrower (at no material cost to Borrower) to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all

 131 
 

components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Agent’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Agent shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.

9.3.2        Intentionally Omitted.

9.3.3        Cooperation; Execution; Delivery. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Agent in connection with this Section 9.3. If requested by Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver such documents as shall be required by any Rating Agency or required by Agent in connection with any modification pursuant to this Section 9.3, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and satisfactory to any applicable Rating Agency, including, the severance of security documents if requested. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Agent within seven (7) Business Days following such request by Agent, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent 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 such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 9.4 Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall not be required to incur any material costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Sections 9.1(a) or (b) or Section 9.3 above (other than expenses of Borrower’s counsel).

ARTICLE 10 MISCELLANEOUS

(b)               Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates in writing or otherwise to Agent’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “Review Waiver”), then the Rating Agency Confirmation requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such matter. It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and

(ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.

(c)                Prior to a Securitization or in the event that there is a Review Waiver, if Agent does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then the term Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed instead to require the prior written consent of Agent.

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

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

EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

Section 10.8 Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Preferences. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such

 141 
 

payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Agent to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Agent with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Agent to Borrower.

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Agent or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Agent or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Agent nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Agent has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 10.13 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 10.14 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a)                Borrower and Agent (on behalf of Lenders) intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and any Lender or to grant Agent and/or any Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

(b)               The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Agent (for itself and on behalf of Lenders) and Borrower (and the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group with respect to Section 9.2(b)) and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Agent, Lenders and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

Section 10.15 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan

 142 
 

Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Agent, Lenders, the Affiliate of any Lender that acts as the issuer with respect to a Securitization or any of their other Affiliates (x) shall be prohibited prior to the final Securitization of the Loan and (y) after the final Securitization of the Loan, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Agent. Agent shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval and Borrower authorizes Agent to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Agent’s own promotional and marketing activities, including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Agent’s participation therein in the Loan.

Section 10.16 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 10.17 Certain Waivers.

(a)                To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Agent, any Lender or their agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Agent to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Agent or any Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

(b)               To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower hereby irrevocably waives and relinquishes any right, remedy, claim or defense that Borrower may have, or have the right to assert, in order to avail itself of the benefits of any Emergency Law, or otherwise exercise any right or option under any Emergency Law, where such Emergency Law (A) permits (x) Borrower to defer payment of, or otherwise elect not to pay, any amounts as and when due under the Loan Documents and/or (y) Borrower to delay performance of, or otherwise elect not to perform, any non-monetary obligation of Borrower as and when required under the Loan Documents and/or (B) prevents Agent, or requires Agent to forbear, from exercising (at such time or another time in the future) any one or more rights or remedies that, in the absence of such Emergency Law, could otherwise be available to Agent under the Loan Documents or applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Agent, any Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Agent or any Lender. Agent shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Agent 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 Agent’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Agent engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.19 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that, except for BayBridge Real Estate Capital (“Broker”), it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower will pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Agent’s and each Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 10.20 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, including any confidentiality agreements or any similar agreements between or among any such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.21 Servicer.

(a)                At the option of Agent, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Agent and Agent may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Agent and Servicer. Servicer may, at any time, delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities for the servicing and administration of the Loan to a sub-servicer or sub-servicers. Borrower shall be responsible for any costs and expenses of Servicer to the extent such costs and expenses would otherwise be payable by Borrower if incurred by Agent or Lender hereunder, provided, however, that Borrower shall not

 144 
 

be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs incurred after a Securitization of the Loan. Agent and Borrower agree that Hanover Street Capital, LLC shall be the initial Servicer hereunder. Borrower agrees that the Servicer shall be paid an annual fee of $25,000, payable monthly on each Monthly Payment Date (the “Servicing Fee”), in accordance with Section 6.16.1 above. Notwithstanding any collection of the Servicing Fee by Agent on behalf of Servicer, the Servicing Fee will be deemed to have been paid directly to Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the master servicing fee due to the Servicer after a Securitization of the Loan.

(b)               Other than as set forth in Section 10.21(a) above, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, releases of the Property, approvals under the Loan Documents requested by Borrower, other requests under the Loan, assumption of Borrower’s obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan. All amounts payable to Agent or Servicer in exercising its rights under this Section 10.21 (including, but not limited to, disbursements, advances and reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection therewith), shall be payable within five (5) Business Days demand, secured by this Agreement and interest thereon shall accrue at the Interest Rate (or Default Rate if an Event of Default then exists) from the date incurred.

Section 10.22 Joint and Several Liability. If more than one Person has executed this Agreement as “Borrower,” the representations, covenants, warranties and obligations of all such Persons hereunder shall be joint and several.

Section 10.23 Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent or any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of (i) any Federal Reserve Bank, any Federal Home Loan Bank or the central reserve bank or similar authority of any country to secure any obligation of Lender to such bank or similar authority (a “Central Bank Pledge”) or (ii) to the bondholders (as a collective whole) (or their nominee, collateral agent or security trustee) under, or the trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees) of a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by such Lender under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, or any substitute or successor legislation (a “Pfandbrief Pledge”). In the event that the interest of Agent and/or any Lender that is assigned in connection with a Central Bank Pledge or Pfandbrief Pledge is foreclosed upon and transferred to the pledgee thereof, Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall have no further liability hereunder with respect to the interest that was the subject of such transfer and the assignee shall be Agent or such Lender, as applicable with respect to such interest. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall be required to notify Borrower of any Central Bank Pledge or Pfandbrief Pledge. Borrower agrees to execute, within fifteen (15) Business Days after request therefor is made by

 145 
 

Agent or any Lender, any documents or any amendments, amendments and restatements, and/or modifications to any Loan Documents and/or additional documents (including, without limitation, amended, amended and restated, modified and/or additional promissory notes) and/or estoppel certificates reasonably requested by Agent and/or such Lender in order to make the Loan Documents eligible under German Pfandbrief legislation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to enter into any such documents and amendments which would increase Borrower’s affirmative obligations or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents or adversely affect the economic or other material terms of the Loan.

Section 10.24 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.25 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders provided by this Agreement and by law, Agent 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 any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided however, Agent and Lenders may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. Agent agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.26 Modification, Waiver in Writing; Approvals.

(a)                No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document shall be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by Agent and, in the case of modifications and amendments, Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose for which given. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Agent shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that Lenders and/or Agent is entitled to under the Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

 146 
 

(b)               Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lenders’ consent or approval is required, all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Guarantor required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, to Agent.

Section 10.27 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:

(i)                 the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

(ii)              the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if

applicable:

(A)             a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such

liability;

(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.

(b)               As used in this Section 10.27 the following terms have the following meanings ascribed thereto: (i) “Bail-In Action” means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable EEA Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an EEA Financial Institution; (ii)“Bail-In Legislation” means, with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule; (iii) “EEA Financial Institution” means (x) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member

 147 
 

Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority; (y) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (x) of this definition; or (z) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (x) or (y) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent; (iv) “EEA Member Country” means any of the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway or any other member state of the European Economic Area; (v) “EEA Resolution Authority” means any public administrative authority or any person entrusted with public administrative authority of any EEA Member Country (including any delegee) having responsibility for the resolution of any EEA Financial Institution; (vi) “EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule” means the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule published by the Loan Market Association (or any successor person), as in effect from time to time; and (vii) “Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.

Section 10.28 Assignments and Participations.

(a)                At the assignor Lender’s sole cost and provided that the economic and other terms of the Loan shall remain the same for Borrower and Guarantor, any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Ratable Share of the Loan at the time owing to it) and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder.

(b)               Within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of notice of such Assignee, Borrower shall, if requested by the Assignee, execute and deliver to Agent, new Notes (in substantially the same form and substance as the original notes) evidencing such Assignee’s portion of the Loan, provided that the applicable original notes are returned to Borrower.

(c)                If any assignee, participant or other transferee of the Loan or any portion thereof or interest therein requests in writing, at such assignee’s, participants or other transferee’s sole cost, Borrower shall deliver to such Person updated opinions of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s New York counsel with respect to the enforceability, due authorization and due execution of any new Loan Documents entered into in connection with the related assignment, participation or transfer, which opinions shall be in substantially the same form as the opinions delivered as of the Closing Date, and dated as of such date as the updated opinions are delivered, as modified as required to properly render such updated opinions on such date and updated, and shall be addressed, for purposes of reliance thereon, to such assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable.

(d)               Upon assignment, all references to the assignor Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Assignee or successor in interest and such Assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of such assignor Lender in all respects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall

 148 
 

not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and each of Lenders’ assignees and the principal amount (and stated interest) on the Loan owing to Lenders and each of Lenders’ assignees pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lenders and Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If a Lender sells a participation, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)                Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent and each Lender may provide to any actual or proposed Assignee originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, financial statements and other information, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor or other Persons and/or received by Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not disclose the identity of any investors in Borrower that are not expressly set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule III to any member of the General Public without Borrower’s consent unless Agent has determined (in its reasonable discretion) that it is required to disclose said information pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction and/or to avoid potential liability; provided further that, to the extent that Borrower or Guarantor has, in its reasonable discretion, specifically identified certain Provided Information in writing to Agent (such information, “Confidential Information”) as being proprietary in nature and not otherwise available to the General Public, Agent and Servicer shall (a) not disclose such Confidential Information without Borrower’s prior consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Person to whom Agent and/or Servicer, as applicable, has provided such Confidential Information to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information (which may be accomplished by click-through confidentiality or any other similar mechanism via an electronically maintained file sharing site);

provided further, however, that nothing contained herein shall prohibit (i) Agent, Servicer or the Rating Agencies from (A) including summary statements, conclusions or analysis based on the Confidential Information in reports that Agent, Servicer or the Rating Agencies prepare and distribute with respect to the Loan and/or any Secondary Market Transaction or (B) posting a copy of any Provided Information on any website maintained pursuant to and in accordance with 17 CFR 240.17g-5, (ii) distribution of the Confidential Information to the Rating Agencies, underwriters, auditors, regulatory authorities or any Persons that may be entitled by law to such information and any accountants, attorneys, financial advisors or other similar agents of the foregoing, (iii) distribution of the Confidential Information to any Investors, any holders of any certificates issued in connection with a Securitization, any potential holders of non-investment grade certificates or any potential purchaser or owner of all or any portion of the Loan (including, without limitation, any potential purchaser of any “component” note) or any participation therein and any accountants, attorneys, financial advisors or other similar agents of the foregoing, (iv) distribution and use of the Confidential Information in connection with the servicing of the Loan by Agent or Servicer (including, without limitation, the exercise and enforcement by Agent of any rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document), or (v) distribution and use of the Confidential Information in any Disclosure Documents, Exchange Act Filing and/or Securities Act Filing; provided further, however, that Agent shall inform the recipients of such information described in clauses (ii) and (iii) hereof (other than the regulatory authorities and other Persons that are entitled by law to the Confidential Information) that such recipients may use the Confidential Information solely in connection with rating, administering, servicing, investing or evaluating investment in the Loan or components thereof, and that Agent is under an agreement with Borrower as to the confidentiality of this Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent and all other Persons referenced in clauses (i) through (v) above may disclose the tax treatment and tax structure of the Loan and all materials of any kind including, without limitation, opinions or other tax analysis, that are provided to Agent relating to such tax treatment or tax structure. The failure of any Person to comply with the provisions of this Section shall not affect, in any manner, Borrower’s or Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any disclosures of information not covered under clauses (i) through (v) above, Agent and/or Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any Person to whom Agent and/or Servicer, as applicable, has provided such information to maintain the confidentiality of such information (which may be accomplished by click-through confidentiality or any other similar mechanism via an electronically maintained file sharing site).

Section 10.29 Contributions and Waivers.

(a)                As a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower will benefit, directly and indirectly, from each Borrower’s obligation to pay and perform the Obligations and in consideration therefor each Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement among themselves as set forth in this Section to allocate such benefits among themselves and to provide a fair and equitable agreement to make contributions among each of the Borrowers in the event any payment is made by any Borrower hereunder to Agent and Lenders (such payment being referred to herein as a “Contribution,” and for purposes of this Section, includes any exercise of recourse by Agent or Lenders against any

 150 
 

property of a Borrower and application of proceeds of such property in satisfaction of such Borrower’s obligations, to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents).

(b)               In order to provide for a fair and equitable contribution among the Borrowers in the event that any Contribution is made by a Borrower (a “Funding Borrower”), such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to a reimbursement contribution (“Reimbursement Contribution”) from all other Borrowers with respect to all Contributions made by such Funding Borrower, such that if any Funding Borrower’s Aggregate Payments on any date of determination exceed such Funding Borrower’s Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to Reimbursement Contributions from all the other Borrowers in an amount sufficient to cause each Funding Borrower’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.

(c)                For purposes hereof, “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Funding Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Reimbursement Contribution Amount with respect to such Funding Borrower to (ii) the aggregate of the Reimbursement Contribution Amounts with respect to all Funding Borrowers multiplied by (b) the aggregate Contributions on or before such date by all Funding Borrowers. “Reimbursement Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Funding Borrower as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of Contributions of such Funding Borrower that would not render its obligations to pay and perform the Obligations subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Reimbursement Contribution Amount” with respect to any Funding Borrower for purposes of this Section 10.31, any assets or liabilities of such Funding Borrower arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Funding Borrower. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Funding Borrower as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all Contributions made on or before such date by such Funding Borrower, minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Funding Borrower from the other Funding Borrowers as Reimbursement Contributions under this Section 10.31. The amounts payable as Reimbursement Contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related Contribution is made by the applicable Funding Borrower.

(d)               Each Borrower acknowledges that the right to Reimbursement Contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the Borrower to which such Reimbursement Contribution is owing, subject, however, to the proviso in clause (c) above.

(e)                Until the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the date that the Debt has been paid and satisfied in full, no Borrower shall (i) assert, collect, sue upon, or enforce all or any part of its right to any Reimbursement Contribution under this Section 10.31; (ii) commence or join with any other creditors of any Borrower in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency proceeding against any other Borrower; (iii) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, set off or demand any payments upon any Reimbursement Contribution; or (iv) take, accept, ask for, sue for, receive, demand or allow to be created liens, security interests, mortgages, or pledges of or with respect to any of the assets of any Borrower in favor of or for the benefit of

 

 151 
 

any other Borrower. Nothing contained in this Section shall limit or affect in any way the Obligations of any Borrower to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents.

(f)                To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, each Borrower

waives:

 

(i)     any right to require Agent or Lenders to proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Agent or Lenders at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Agent’s or Lenders’ power before proceeding against such Borrower;

(ii)  any defense based upon any legal disability or other defense of any other Borrower, any guarantor of any other Person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of any other Borrower or any guarantor from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Loan Documents;

(iii)  any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower or any defect in the formation of any other Borrower or any principal of any other Borrower;

(iv)   any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;

(v)   any defense based upon any failure by Agent or Lenders to obtain collateral for the indebtedness or failure by Agent or Lenders to perfect a lien on any collateral;

(vi)   presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind;

(vii)    any defense based upon any failure of Agent or Lenders to give notice of sale or other disposition of any collateral to any other Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any sale or disposition of any collateral;

(viii)  any defense based upon any failure of Agent or Lenders to comply with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any collateral, including any failure of Lenders to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of any collateral;

(ix)   any defense based upon any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(x)   any defense based upon any agreement or stipulation entered into by Agent or Lenders with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding;

 152 
 

(xi)   any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

(xii)    any defense based upon the avoidance of any security interest in favor of Agent or Lenders for any reason;

(xiii)  any defense based upon any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations evidenced by the Note or owing under any of the Loan Documents;

(xiv)   any defense or benefit based upon such Borrower’s, or any other party’s, resignation of the portion of any obligation secured by the Mortgage to be satisfied by any payment from any other Borrower or any such party;

(xv)     all rights and defenses based upon any elimination of Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Borrower as a result of an election of remedies by Agent or Lenders or other actions of Agent or Lender; and

(xvi)   all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things (subject to the other terms and conditions of the Loan Documents): (1) Agent or Lenders may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, and (2) if Agent or Lenders forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any other Borrower, (I) the amount of the Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price and (II) Agent or Lenders may collect from such Borrower even if any other Borrower, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right of such Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower may have because any of the Debt is secured by real property; and except as may be expressly and specifically permitted herein, any claim or other right which such Borrower might now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any other Person that arises from the existence or performance of any obligations under the Loan Documents, including any of the following: (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification; or (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Agent or Lenders against any other Borrower or any collateral security therefor, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.

(g)               Each Borrower hereby restates and makes the waivers made by Guarantor in the guarantees for the benefit of Agent and Lender. Such waivers are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein (and as if applicable to each Borrower) and shall be effective for all purposes under the Loan (including, without limitation, in the event that any Borrower is

 153 
 

deemed to be a surety or guarantor of the Debt (by virtue of each Borrower being co-obligors and jointly and severally liable hereunder, by virtue of each Borrower encumbering its interest in the Property for the benefit or debts of the other Borrowers in connection herewith or otherwise)).

ARTICLE 11

 

AGENT

Section 11.1 Appointment.

(a)                Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as the agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, as the agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf and in Agent’s designated capacity under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

(b)               Subject to Section 10.29, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to modify or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the Obligations. All such rights, on behalf of Agent or any Lender or Lenders, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of Agent for the pro rata benefit of Lenders. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of Agent Advances, and (iii) the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.

(c)                In case of the pendency of any bankruptcy, receivership, Insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)                 to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing

 154 
 

and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lenders and Agent and their respective agents and counsel) and all other amounts due Lenders and Agent hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(ii)              to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due Agent hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of Lenders except as approved by the Lenders or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by the Lenders in any such proceeding.

Section 11.2 Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.3 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person or Persons under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person or Persons’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Borrower or Guarantor to perform its obligations thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower or Guarantor.

Section 11.4 Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person

 155 
 

or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Loan Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and all actions required in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of all or any interest in the Loan.

Section 11.5 Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent shall receive such a notice, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any Lenders); provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

Section 11.6 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Ratable Share of the Loan hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports

 156 
 

and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

Section 11.7 Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Ratable Share on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loan shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Ratable Share immediately prior to such date), for, and to save Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loan) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Loan, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Debt and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 11.8 Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor as though Agent were not an agent hereunder. With respect to the Ratable Share of the Loan made or held by it at any time, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.9 Appraisals. Agent may, at its option, commission one or more new and/or updated appraisals from time to time after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Borrower shall only be required to reimburse Agent for such new and/or updated appraisal (A) not more than one time annually unless (1) an Event of Default is continuing or (2) there is, in Agent’s reasonable judgment, a material adverse change in the Property or the market conditions related to the Property, (B) at the time of any extension of the Loan and (C) at any time such appraisal is required by applicable law or regulatory requirements.

Section 11.10 Ratable Share. (i) The liabilities of Lenders shall be several and not joint,

(ii) no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender, and (iii) each Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Lender in accordance with its

 

 157 
 

Ratable Share.

Section 11.11 Letters of Credit. Each Lender agrees that, prior to the Securitization of the entire Loan, (i) any Letter of Credit delivered to Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall name DB as the sole beneficiary thereunder for the benefit of the Lenders, and (ii) each authorizes DB to, and DB hereby agrees to, act as its agent with regard to the servicing and administration of all such Letters of Credit, and in the event DB draws upon any such Letter of Credit, each Lender authorizes DB to, and DB hereby agrees to, deposit the proceeds into the Cash Management Account (or into one or more of the Accounts) in the manner set forth herein. Upon a Securitization of the entire Loan, each Lender authorizes DB to, and DB hereby agrees to, assign to the Trustee all of DB’s and Lenders’ right, title and interest in and to each Letter of Credit issued in accordance with the terms of this Agreement that is then in DB’s and Lenders’ possession, whereupon without any further action by any of the Lenders, DB shall be released from any and all liability relating in any way to such Letter(s) of Credit.

Section 11.12 Co-Lenders. Borrower acknowledges that Lender, any other Lenders hereunder and Agent may from time to time enter into one or more agreements (any such agreement as the same may be modified, amended, restated supplemented or replaced from time to time, a “Co-Lender Agreement”) governing the relationship between such parties with respect to the Loan. Borrower acknowledges that Agent’s discretion under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents may be subject to the limitations in any such Co-Lender Agreements, including the requirement that Agent obtain approval of a specified percentage of Lenders or all of the Lenders prior to granting certain consents or approvals or taking certain actions under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents. Any such Co-Lender Agreements are intended solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower acknowledges that neither Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor is an intended third-party beneficiary of any Co-Lender Agreement and shall not be entitled to rely on any of the terms or provisions contained therein. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to provide a copy of any Co-Lender Agreement to Borrower, any Guarantor or any such Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor or to otherwise disclose to Borrower or any other such party the contents of any Co-Lender Agreement.

Section 11.13 Future Funding Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Loan Document (including, without limitation, the provisions of Sections 9.3, 10.14, and 10.28 hereof), the parties acknowledge that the Loan may be severed into one or more component notes where one Lender (the “Future Funding Lender”) retains the obligations of the Lender hereunder to fund any Advances (the “Future Funding Obligations”). The Future Funding Obligations will be solely the obligation of Future Funding Lender and will not be transferred or assigned to any subsequent holder of the applicable Note(s) (the “Holder”), including the Servicer and any trust or trustee or substituted or successor trustee established in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction. No Holder other than Future Funding Lender shall have any liability with respect to the Future Funding Obligations.

Section 11.14 Modifications to Article 11. Borrower, Agent and Lenders acknowledge and agree that the provisions of this Article 11 solely govern the relationship among the Lenders and Agent and do not alter or otherwise modify the provisions of this Agreement applicable to

 158 
 

Borrower or otherwise apply to Borrower. The provisions of this Article 11 may be modified without Borrower’s consent so long as such modifications do not alter any of Borrower’s rights or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise alter the economic terms of the Loan or the Loan Documents in any manner.

DEFINITION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE BANKRUPTCY REMOTE ENTITY

Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Agent that since the date of its formation and at all times on and after the date hereof and until such time as the Obligations shall be paid and performed in full:

(a)                Borrower (i) has been, is, and will be organized solely for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, holding, selling, leasing, transferring, exchanging, managing and operating the Property, entering into this Agreement with the Agent, refinancing the Property in connection with a permitted repayment of the Loan, and transacting lawful business that is incident, necessary and appropriate to accomplish the foregoing, (ii) has not owned, does not own, and will not own any asset or property other than (A) the Property, and (B) incidental personal property necessary for the ownership or operation of the Property and (iii) has been, is, and will be organized for the purpose of investing the equity capital that was contributed to Borrower by the Sole Member of Borrower in compliance with the provisions of this Schedule V. No equity capital was raised by Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, there has been no direct or indirect commercial activity by the Borrower or a person or entity acting on its behalf to procure the transfer or commitment of capital by the Sole Member of the Borrower for the purpose of investing it in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule V.

(b)               Borrower has not engaged and will not engage in any business other than the ownership, management and operation of the Property and Borrower will conduct and operate its business as presently conducted and operated.

(c)                Borrower has not and will not enter into any contract or agreement with any Affiliate of Borrower, except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially reasonable, and substantially similar to those that would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties other than any such party.

(d)               Borrower has not incurred and will not incur any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness and the Prior Loan.

(e)                Borrower has not made and will not make any loans or advances to any third party (including any Affiliate or constituent party), and has not and shall not acquire obligations or securities of its Affiliates.

(f)                Borrower has been, is, and intends to remain solvent and Borrower has paid and intends to pay its debts and liabilities (including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) from its assets; provided that the foregoing shall not require any direct or indirect member, partner or shareholder of Borrower to make any additional capital contributions to Borrower.

(g)               Borrower has done or caused to be done, and will do, all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and preserve its existence, and Borrower has not, will not

(i) terminate or fail to comply with the provisions of its organizational documents, or (ii) unless

(A) Agent has consented and (B) following a Securitization of the Loan, the applicable Rating
