conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby makes and Borrower hereby accepts the
Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 DISBURSEMENT TO BORROWER. Borrower may
request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any

any, to Borrower.
SECTION 2.2 INTEREST; LOAN PAYMENTS; LATE PAYMENT
CHARGE.
2.2.1 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.
(a) Except as set forth in Section 2.2.1(b),
interest shall accrue on the Principal Amount as set forth in the Note.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default and from and after the Maturity Date
if the entire Principal Amount is not repaid on the Maturity Date,
interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the
extent permitted by law, overdue interest and other amounts due in
respect of the Loan shall accrue at the Default Rate calculated from
the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure
periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be
computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the actual
receipt and collection of the Indebtedness (or that portion thereof
that is then due) or the cure of such Event of Default. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be
added to the Indebtedness, shall itself accrue interest at the same
rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Security Instrument. This
paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend
the date of the payment of the Indebtedness, nor as a waiver of any
other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of
any Event of Default; and Lender retains its rights under the Note to
accelerate and to continue to demand payment of the Indebtedness upon
the happening of any Event of Default.
2.2.2 METHOD AND PLACE OF PAYMENT.
(a) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to
Lender interest accruing pursuant to the Note for the entire Interest
Period ending on the day before such Payment Date.
(b) All amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to
the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents, other than the
Principal Amount, together with any interest at the Default Rate or
other charges as provided therein, shall be due and payable hereunder
as provided in the Loan Documents. In the event any such advance or
charge is not so repaid by Borrower, Lender may, at its option, first
apply any payments received under the Note to repay such advances,
together with any interest thereon, or other charges as provided in the
Loan Documents, and the balance, if any, shall be applied in payment of
any installment of interest or principal then due and payable.
(c) The Maturity Date Payment shall be due and
payable in full on the Maturity Date.
(d) From and after the Anticipated Repayment
Date, unless the Indebtedness has been repaid in full, all Excess Cash
Flow shall be applied on each Payment Date as a partial prepayment of
the outstanding principal Indebtedness, as set forth in Section
3.1.6(a)(vi). Interest accrued at the Revised
Interest Rate shall be deferred and shall earn interest at the Revised
Interest Rate to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.3 LATE PAYMENT CHARGE. If any principal,
interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents (other than the
outstanding Principal Amount due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid
by Borrower within two (2) Business Days after the date on which it is due (in
the case of interest due hereunder, after giving effect to the grace period with
respect thereto), Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to
the lesser of four percent (4%) of such unpaid sum or the Maximum Legal Rate
(the LATE PAYMENT CHARGE) in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in
handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the
loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by
this Agreement, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.4 USURY SAVINGS. This Agreement and the Note
are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated
or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which
could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being
in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay
interest on the principal balance due under the Note at a rate in excess of the
Maximum Legal Rate, then the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as
the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal
Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be
deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the
interest due in respect of the Note. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to
Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due in respect of 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 of interest from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
SECTION 2.3 PREPAYMENTS.
2.3.1 PREPAYMENTS. No prepayments of the
Indebtedness shall be permitted except as set forth in Section 4 of the Note.
2.3.2 PREPAYMENTS AFTER EVENT OF DEFAULT. If,
following an Event of Default, Lender shall accelerate the Indebtedness and
Borrower thereafter tenders payment of all or any part of the Indebtedness, or
if all or any portion of the Indebtedness is recovered by Lender after such
Event of Default, (a) such payment may be made on any Business Day together with
all unpaid interest thereon as calculated through the end of the then current
Interest Period, and all other fees and sums payable hereunder or under the Loan
Documents, including without limitation, interest that has accrued at the
Default Rate, the Yield Maintenance Premium and any Late Payment Charge), (b)
such payment shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower, and (c)
in the event the payment occurs during the Lockout Period, Borrower shall pay,
in addition to the Indebtedness, an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages
Amount.
2.3.3 RELEASE OF PROPERTY. Lender shall, upon the
written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the

the Lien of (i) this Agreement upon the Account Collateral, (ii) the Security
Instrument on the Property or assign it, in whole or in part, to a new lender as
requested by Borrower, and (iii) release or assign (as requested by Borrower) to
Borrower (or Borrower's nominee) all other Loan Documents (including UCC
financing statements) other than the Environmental Indemnity. In such event,
Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to
the date of such release or assignment, a release of lien or assignment of lien,
as applicable, for such property for execution by Lender. Such release or
assignment, as applicable, shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction
in which the Property is located and satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable
discretion. In addition, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, Borrower shall
provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by
Borrower in connection with such release or assignment, as applicable, and
Lender, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, shall provide all other normal and
customary documentation Borrower reasonably requested by Borrower that is
reasonably acceptable to Lender in connection with such release or assignment.
SECTION 2.4 REGULATORY CHANGE; TAXES.
2.4.1 INCREASED COSTS. If as a result of any
Regulatory Change or compliance of Lender therewith the basis of taxation of
payments to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of the principal of or
interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the company Controlling 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 Lender or the company Controlling 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 Lender or any company
Controlling Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable and Lender
reasonably determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any company
Controlling Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is
increased, or any amount receivable by Lender or any company Controlling Lender
hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced, in each
case by an amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material (such increases
in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called INCREASED
COSTS), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees
that it will pay to Lender upon Lender's written request such additional amount
or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such
Increased Costs to the extent Lender determines that such Increased Costs are
allocable to the Loan. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.4.1,
Borrower may, by notice to Lender, require that Lender furnish to Borrower a
statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the
method for determining
the amount thereof. To the extent Borrower is required to pay any Increased
Costs in accordance with the terms hereof, Borrower shall have the right to
prepay the Principal Amount (together will all accrued but unpaid interest
thereon calculated through the end of the then current Interest Period) without
the imposition of any Yield Maintenance Premium or the Liquidated Damages Amount
or any other prepayment premium or charge of any kind.
2.4.2 SPECIAL TAXES. Borrower shall make all
payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes,
other than as may be imposed in connection with a sale or assignment of the Loan
by Lender. 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
Lender, (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 2.4.2) Lender receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall
make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4, Borrower
shall not be liable for any amounts as a result of withholding for Special Taxes
or additional costs incurred as a result of the assignment of all or any portion
of the Loan by Lender to any Person that is subject to Special Taxes and which
is organized under or has its principal place of business outside of the United
States of America or any political subdivision thereof.
2.4.3 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 respect
to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred
to as OTHER TAXES).
2.4.4 INDEMNITY. Borrower shall indemnify Lender
for the full amount of Special Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Special
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable
under this Section 2.4.4) paid by Lender and any liability (including penalties,
interest, and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or
not such Special Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. This
indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Lender
makes written demand therefor.
2.4.5 CHANGE OF OFFICE. To the extent that
changing the jurisdiction of Lender's applicable office would have the effect of
minimizing Special Taxes, Other Taxes or Increased Costs, Lender shall use
reasonable efforts to make such a change, provided that same would not otherwise
be disadvantageous to Lender.
2.4.6 SURVIVAL. Without prejudice to the survival
of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements and obligations of
Borrower contained
in this Section 2.4 shall survive the payment in full of principal and interest
hereunder, and the termination of this Agreement.

This Agreement shall constitute a security agreement for
purposes of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable law.
3.1.3 MAINTENANCE OF BORROWER.

Lender shall have control (within the meaning of Section 9-104(a)(2) of
the UCC) over the Collection Account and (iii) such that neither the
Borrower nor Manager shall have any right of withdrawal from the

the immediately preceding sentence, Borrower shall only establish and
maintain the Collection Account with a financial institution that has
executed an agreement substantially in the form of the Account
Agreement or in such other form acceptable to Lender in its sole
discretion.
(b) Borrower agrees that each of the Holding
Account and the Sub-Accounts is and shall be (or if each such

(i) as a "securities account" (as such term is defined in Section
8-501(a) of the UCC), (ii) in such a manner that Lender shall have
control (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d)(2) of the UCC) over the
Holding Account and any Sub-Account thereof, (iii) such that neither
Borrower nor any Manager shall have any right of withdrawal from the
Holding Account or the Sub-Accounts and, except as provided herein, no
Account Collateral shall be released to Borrower from the Holding
Account or the Sub-Accounts, (iv) in such a manner that the Cash
Management Bank shall agree to treat all property credited to the
Holding Account or the Sub-Accounts as "financial assets" and (v) such
that all securities or other property underlying any
financial assets credited to any of the Sub-Accounts shall be
registered in the name of Cash Management Bank, indorsed to Cash
Management Bank or in blank or credited to another securities account
maintained in the name of Cash Management Bank and in no case will any
financial asset credited to the Accounts be registered in the name of
Borrower, payable to the order of Borrower or specially indorsed to
Borrower except to the extent the foregoing have been specially
indorsed to Cash Management Bank or in blank. Without limiting
Borrower's obligations under the immediately preceding sentence,
Borrower shall only establish and maintain the Holding Account with a
financial institution that has executed an agreement substantially in
the form of the Account Agreement or in such other form acceptable to
Lender in its sole discretion.
3.1.4 ELIGIBLE ACCOUNTS. The Collateral Accounts
shall be Eligible Accounts. The Collateral Accounts shall be subject to such
applicable laws, and such applicable regulations of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System and of any other banking or governmental authority,
as may now or hereafter be in effect. Income and interest accruing on the
Collateral Accounts or any investments held in such accounts shall be
periodically added to the principal amount of such account and shall be held,
disbursed and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Account Agreement. Borrower shall be the beneficial owner of the Collateral

3.1.6 MONTHLY FUNDING OF ACCOUNTS.
(a) Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes
Lender to transfer (and, pursuant to the Account Agreement shall
irrevocably authorize Cash
Management Bank to execute any corresponding instructions of Lender),
and Lender shall transfer, from the Holding Account by 2:00 p.m. New
York time commencing on the first (1st) Business Day of each calendar
month, and on each Business Day thereafter until, but not including,
the first (1st) Business Day of the next succeeding calendar month
(such period, the COLLECTION PERIOD), or as soon thereafter as
sufficient funds are in the Holding Account to make the applicable
transfers, in the following amounts and in the following order of
priority:
(i) during any period that Bloomberg is
not required or has failed to pay Real Estate Taxes and Other
Charges in full, funds in an amount equal to the Monthly Tax
Reserve Amount and any other amounts required pursuant to
Section 16.1 for the Collection Period in which the transfer
from the Holding Account is made and transfer the same to the
Tax Reserve Account (Borrower hereby agrees that prior to the
final Rent Commencement Date, fifty (50%) percent of all Real
Estate Taxes and Other Charges shall be paid directly out of
the Tax Reserve Account from the Initial Tax Reserve Amount as
more particularly set forth in Section 16.1 hereof);
(ii) during any period that Bloomberg is
not required or has failed to pay the insurance premiums in
full with respect to the policies required hereunder or the
common charges related thereto pursuant to the Bloomberg Lease
and the Condominium Declaration and/or the By-laws, funds in
an amount equal to the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount
determined in accordance with Section 16.2 and any other
amounts required pursuant to Section 16.2 for the Collection
Period in which the transfer from the Holding Account is made
and transfer the same to the Insurance Reserve Account;
(iii) funds in an amount equal to the
amount of Debt Service due on the Payment Date in the
Collection Period in which the transfer from the Holding
Account is made and transfer the same to the Debt Service
Reserve Account (provided, prior to the final Rent
Commencement Date, Debt Service shall be paid directly out of
the Additional Debt Service Reserve Account in accordance with
the terms of Section 16.4 hereof);
(iv) during any period that Bloomberg is
not required or has failed to pay the Operating Expenses for
the Property in full, funds in an amount equal to the Approved
Operating Expenses for the month in which the Payment Date
immediately following the date of the transfer from the
Holding Account occurs, and transfer the same to Borrower's
Account; provided, however, that to the extent that the
Officer's Certificate delivered to Lender on a quarterly basis
by Borrower pursuant to Article XI provides evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Lender that actual Operating
Expenses for such calendar quarter were either less than or
greater than Approved Operating Expenses, then Lender may
direct Cash
Management Bank to increase or decrease the amount of the
Approved Operating Expense transfer to be made for the month
following the month in which such Officer's Certificate was
delivered, such adjustment to be in an amount reasonably
determined by Lender to appropriately reflect such difference
between actual Operating Expenses and Approved Operating
Expenses;
(v) during any period that Bloomberg is
not required or has failed to pay the cost of any capital
improvements for the Property in full, funds in an amount
equal to the Monthly Structural Reserve Amount determined in
accordance with Section 16.3 for the Collection Period in
which the transfer from the Holding Account is made and
transfer the same to the Structural Reserve Account; and
(vi) funds in an amount equal to the
balance (if any) remaining or deposited in the Holding Account
after the foregoing deposits (such remainder being hereinafter
referred to as EXCESS CASH FLOW) and provided no Event of
Default (which shall be governed by the terms of Section
3.1.10 hereof) or Cash Trap Period (which shall be governed by
the terms of Section 16.5 hereof) shall have occurred and is
then continuing, transfer any Excess Cash Flow (x) prior to
the Anticipated Repayment Date, to the Borrower's Account and
(y) on or after the Anticipated Repayment Date, to the Debt
Service Reserve Account to be applied as a partial prepayment
of the principal Indebtedness without the imposition of any
Yield Maintenance Premium or the Liquidated Damages Amount or
any other prepayment premium or charge of any kind.
(b) If after such transfer, Lender shall
reasonably determine that there are insufficient funds in the Tax
Reserve Account to make payments of Real Estate Taxes and/or Other
Charges when due, or if Lender shall reasonably determine that there
will be insufficient amounts in the Collection Account or the Holding
Account to make any of the transfers pursuant to this Section 3.1.6
inclusive on the date required hereunder on the next Payment Date,
Lender shall provide notice to Borrower of such insufficiency (except
that in no event shall Lender be required to notify Borrower of any
deficiency in the Debt Service Reserve Account, such deficiency on any
Payment Date being an Event of Default) and, within five (5) Business
Days after receipt of said notice and prior to the expiration of any
grace period applicable to such payment, Borrower shall deposit into
the Holding Account, an amount equal to the shortfall of available
funds in the Holding Account, taking into account any funds which
accumulate in the Holding Account during such five (5) Business Day
period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be deemed
to be in default hereunder or thereunder in the event funds sufficient
for a required transfer are held in the Holding Account, or the
appropriate Sub-Account, and Lender or Cash Management Bank fails to
timely make any transfer from the Holding Account, or
to or from such Sub-Account, as contemplated by this Agreement unless
due to an act or omission of Borrower; and
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein or in the Security Instrument, to the extent that
Borrower shall fail to pay any mortgage recording tax, costs, expenses
or other amounts pursuant to Section 19.12 of this Agreement (other
than any such costs, expenses or other amounts to be paid at closing)
within the time period set forth therein, Lender shall have the right,
at any time, without notice to Borrower, to withdraw from the Holding
Account, an amount equal to such unpaid taxes, costs, expenses and/or
other amounts and pay such amounts to the Person(s) entitled thereto.
3.1.7 PAYMENTS FROM SUB-ACCOUNTS.
(a) Borrower irrevocably authorizes Lender to
make and, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, Lender hereby agrees to make, the following payments from
the Sub-Accounts to the extent of the monies on deposit therefor:
(i) funds from the Debt Service Reserve
Account to Lender sufficient to pay Debt Service on each
Payment Date, and Lender, on each Payment Date, shall apply
such funds to the payment of the Debt Service payable on such
Payment Date;
(ii) if notified (timely) by Borrower or
otherwise determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion
that Bloomberg will not pay Real Estate Taxes or Other
Charges, funds from the Tax Reserve Account to Lender
sufficient to permit Lender to pay (A) Real Estate Taxes and
(B) Other Charges, on the respective due dates therefor, and
Lender shall so pay such funds to the Governmental Authority
having the right to receive such funds;
(iii) if notified (timely) by Borrower or
otherwise determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion
that Bloomberg will not pay the insurance premiums with
respect to the policies required hereunder, funds from the
Insurance Reserve Account to Lender sufficient to permit
Lender to pay insurance premiums for the insurance required to
be maintained pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
Security Instrument, on the respective due dates therefor, and
Lender shall so pay such funds to the insurance company having
the right to receive such funds (or to Borrower as a
reimbursement for premiums paid in accordance with the terms
of Section 16.1.2 hereof);
(iv) if notified (timely) by Borrower or
otherwise determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion
that Bloomberg will not pay the operating expenses for the
Property, no more frequently than once in any calendar month,
funds from the Operating Expense Reserve
Account in an amount equal to the Approved Operating Expenses
for the month in which the transfer is made, and transfer the
same to Borrower's Account;
(v) if notified (timely) by Borrower or
otherwise determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion
that Bloomberg will not pay the cost of any capital
improvements for the Property, no more frequently than once in
any calendar month, funds from the Structural Reserve Account
to the Borrower's Account to reimburse Borrower or to pay for
the cost of capital improvements to the Property; and
(vi) payments from the Additional Debt
Service Reserve Account will be made in accordance with the
terms of Section 16.4.
(b) Provided that no Event of Default or Cash
Trap Period has occurred and is continuing, Lender agrees to release to
Borrower any amounts (or portions thereof) on deposit in the Tax
Reserve Account, Insurance Reserve Account, Operating Expense Reserve
Account and/or the Structural Reserve Account if Borrower provides
written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that Bloomberg has
paid when due the item for which the amount on deposit was reserved
for. To the extent in Lender's sole but reasonable discretion (whether
based upon information provided by Borrower or otherwise) any such
amounts (or portions thereof) would have been released to Borrower but
for the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, such amounts (or portions
thereof) will be transferred to the Cash Trap Reserve Account as
additional Excess Cash Flow to be applied by Lender in accordance with
the terms of Section 16.5 hereof.
3.1.8 CASH MANAGEMENT BANK.
(a) Lender shall have the right at Borrower's
sole cost and expense to replace the Cash Management Bank with a
financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Borrower in the event
that (i) the Cash Management Bank fails, in any material respect, to
comply with the Account Agreement, (ii) the Cash Management Bank named
herein is no longer the Cash Management Bank, unless Lender has
consented in writing to such change or the Cash Management Bank named
herein has merged with, acquired or has been acquired by another bank
which is and continues to be an Approved Bank or (iii) the Cash
Management Bank is no longer an Approved Bank. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the
right at Borrower's sole cost and expense to replace Cash Management
Bank with an Approved Bank at any time, with three (3) Business Days
prior notice to Borrower. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in
connection with the appointment of any replacement Cash Management Bank
and the execution by the Cash Management Bank and the Borrower of an
Account Agreement and delivery of same to Lender.
(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right at its sole
cost and expense to replace the Cash Management Bank with a financial
institution that is an Approved Bank provided that such financial
institution and Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender an Account
and Control Agreement in substantially the form of the Account
Agreement.
3.1.9 BORROWER'S ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower
represents, warrants and covenants that (i) as of the date hereof, Borrower has
directed Bloomberg to either mail all checks or wire all funds with respect to
rental funds due under the Bloomberg Lease directly into the Collection Account
and has delivered to Bloomberg a letter substantially in the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT B, (ii) Borrower shall cause Manager to deposit all amounts
payable to Borrower pursuant to the Management Agreement directly into the
Collection Account, (iii) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Rents, Cash

there are no accounts other than the Collateral Accounts maintained by Borrower
or any other Person with respect to the collection of Rents with respect to the
Property and, so long as the Loan shall be outstanding, neither Borrower nor any
other Person shall open any other operating accounts with respect to the
collection of Rents with respect to the Property except for the Collateral
Accounts, provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower or Manager
from utilizing one or more separate accounts for the disbursement or retention
of funds that have been transferred to the Borrower's Account pursuant to
Section 3.1.6. Borrower hereby agrees that all amounts required to be deposited
in the Collateral Accounts and received by Borrower or any of its Affiliates
shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days of Borrower's receipt thereof,
or after the occurrence of an Event of Default immediately, into the Collateral
Accounts. Until so deposited, any such amounts held by Borrower, Manager or any
Affiliate of Borrower or Manager shall be deemed to be Account Collateral and
shall be held in trust by it for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender and
shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager.
3.1.10 ACCOUNT COLLATERAL AND REMEDIES.
(a) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, without additional notice from
Lender to Borrower, (i) Lender may, in addition to and not in
limitation of Lender's other rights, make any and all withdrawals from,
and transfers between and among, the Collateral Accounts as Lender
shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion to pay any
Obligations, Operating Expenses and/or capital expenditures for the
Property; (ii) all Excess Cash Flow shall be retained in the Holding
Account or applicable Sub-Accounts, (iii) all payments to Borrower's
Account pursuant to Section 3.1.6 shall immediately cease and (iv)
Lender may liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in
Permitted Investments to the Collateral Accounts to which they relate
or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted Investments as Lender may
reasonably determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security
interest
granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable Lender to
exercise and enforce Lender's rights and remedies hereunder with
respect to any Account Collateral or to preserve the value of the
Account Collateral.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably
constitutes and appoints Lender as Borrower's true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute,
acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to exercise and enforce
every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of Borrower with
respect to the Account Collateral, and do in the name, place and stead
of Borrower, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and
in the name of Borrower, which Borrower could or might do or which
Lender may deem necessary or desirable to more fully vest in Lender the
rights and remedies provided for herein and to accomplish the purposes
of this Agreement. The foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and
coupled with an interest. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may perform or cause
performance of any such agreement, and any reasonable expenses of
Lender incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by Borrower as
provided in Section 5.1.16.
(c) During a Cash Trap Period, all Excess Cash
Flow shall be retained by Lender and applied in accordance with the
terms of Section 16.5 hereof.
(d) Borrower hereby expressly waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, presentment, demand, protest or any
notice of any kind in connection with this Agreement or the Account
Collateral. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that ten (10) days' prior
written notice of the time and place of any public sale of the Account
Collateral or any other intended disposition thereof shall be
reasonable and sufficient notice to Borrower within the meaning of the
UCC.
3.1.11 TRANSFERS AND OTHER LIENS. Borrower agrees
that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Account Collateral
or (ii) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to all or any of
the Account Collateral, except for the Lien granted to Lender, under this
Agreement.
3.1.12 REASONABLE CARE. Beyond the exercise of
reasonable care in the custody thereof, Lender shall have no duty as to any
Account Collateral in its possession or control as agent therefor or bailee
thereof or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any person
or otherwise with respect thereto. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Account Collateral in its
possession if the Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal
to that which Lender accords its own property, it being understood that Lender
shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any of the Account
Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of the act or
omission of Lender, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the
extent that such loss or damage results from Lender's, its Affiliate's, agent's,
employee's or bailee's
gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event shall Lender be liable
either directly or indirectly for losses or delays resulting from any event
which may be the basis of an Excusable Delay, computer malfunctions,
interruption of communication facilities, labor difficulties or other causes
beyond Lender's reasonable control or for indirect, special or consequential
damages except to the extent of Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (i) Lender
does not have custody of the Account Collateral, (ii) Cash Management Bank has
custody of the Account Collateral, (iii) Cash Management Bank was originally
chosen by Borrower and (iv) Lender has no obligation or duty to supervise Cash
Management Bank or to see to the safe custody of the Account Collateral.
3.1.13 LENDER'S LIABILITY.
(a) Lender shall be responsible for the
performance only of such duties with respect to the Account Collateral
as are specifically set forth in this Section 3.1 or elsewhere in the
Loan Documents, and no other duty shall be implied from any provision
hereof. Lender shall not be under any obligation or duty to perform any
act with respect to the Account Collateral which would cause it to
incur any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in
respect hereof, or to advance any of its own monies. Borrower shall
indemnify and hold Lender, its employees and officers harmless from and
against any loss, cost or damage (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to
the Account Collateral except as such may be caused by the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its employees, officers or
agents.
(b) Lender shall be protected in acting upon any
notice, resolution, request, consent, order, certificate, report,
opinion, bond or other paper, document or signature believed by it in
good faith to be genuine, and, in so acting, it may be assumed that any
person purporting to give any of the foregoing in connection with the
provisions hereof has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult
with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and
complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or
suffered by it hereunder and in good faith in accordance therewith.
3.1.14 CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Account Collateral and shall
remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Indebtedness. Upon
payment in full of the Indebtedness, this security interest shall automatically
terminate without further notice from any party and Borrower shall be entitled
to the return, upon its request, of such of the Account Collateral as shall not
have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof and Lender
shall execute such instruments and documents as may be reasonably requested by
Borrower to evidence such termination and the release of the Account Collateral.

and the sole business of Borrower is the management and operation of
the Property. The organizational structure of Borrower is accurately
depicted by the schematic diagram attached hereto as EXHIBIT C.
Borrower shall not change its name, identity, corporate structure or

prior written notice of any such change and shall have taken all steps
reasonably requested by Lender to grant, perfect, protect and/or
preserve the security interest granted hereunder to Lender.

necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents have been duly executed and delivered by, or on behalf of, Borrower
and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable
against Borrower in accordance with their respective 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).
4.1.3 NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not
result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default
under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property
or assets of Borrower and Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which
any of Borrower's or Guarantor's property or assets is subject (unless consents
from all applicable parties thereto have been obtained), nor will such action
result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or
regulation of any court or Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over
Borrower or any of Borrower's or Guarantor's properties or assets, and any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or
with any court or any such regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority
required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this
Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and
effect.
4.1.4 LITIGATION. Except as set forth on EXHIBIT D
attached hereto, there are no arbitration proceedings, governmental
investigations, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before
any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or, to the best of
Borrower's knowledge, threatened in writing against or affecting Borrower, any
SPE Entity, Guarantor or the Property. The actions, suits or proceedings
identified on EXHIBIT D, if determined against Borrower, any SPE Entity,
Guarantor or the Property, would not materially and adversely affect the
condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Guarantor or have a Material
Adverse Effect.
4.1.5 AGREEMENTS. Borrower is not a party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which is reasonably likely
to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not to the best of its knowledge
in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment
of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or
instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound.
Borrower has no material financial obligation (contingent or otherwise) under
any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is
otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of
the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.
4.1.6 TITLE. Borrower has good and insurable fee
simple title to the Condominium Unit and all Common Elements appurtenant thereto
and good and insurable title to the Improvements, free and clear of all Liens
whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted
pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
Borrower has good title to the remainder of the Property, free and clear of all
Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances. The Security Instrument,
when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with the Assignment
of Leases and any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be
filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first mortgage
lien on Borrower's interest in and to the Condominium Unit and the Improvements,
subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and (b) perfected security interests in
and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the
Bloomberg Lease described therein), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in
each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. There are no
claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are
or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by
the Loan Documents. Borrower represents and warrants that none of the Permitted
Encumbrances will have a
Material Adverse Effect as of the Closing Date and thereafter. Borrower will
preserve its right, title and interest in and to the Property (except for
replacements thereof, if permitted hereby) for so long as the Note remains
outstanding and will warrant and defend same and the validity and priority of
the Lien hereof from and against any and all claims whatsoever other than the
Permitted Encumbrances.
4.1.7 NO BANKRUPTCY FILING. Neither Borrower nor
Guarantor is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major
portion of such entity's assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of
any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower or
Guarantor.
4.1.8 FULL AND ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. No statement
of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents
contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not materially
misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower and related to the
Loan, the Property, Borrower, Manager, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any such
Person which has not been disclosed which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.
4.1.9 ALL PROPERTY. The Property constitutes all
of the real property, personal property, equipment and fixtures currently (i)
owned or leased by Borrower or (ii) used by Borrower, in the operation of the
business located on the Property, other than items owned or leased by Bloomberg.
4.1.10 NO PLAN ASSETS.

shall cooperate fully with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any
court, board or other Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected
to affect in any way
affect the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents

(a) Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in

Property pursuant to Section 6.1.
5.1.11 FURTHER ASSURANCES; SEPARATE NOTES; LOAN
RESIZING.
(a) Borrower shall execute and acknowledge (or
cause to be executed and acknowledged) and deliver to Lender all
documents, and take all actions, reasonably required by Lender from
time to time to confirm the rights created or now or hereafter intended
to be created under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
security interest created or purported to be created thereunder, to
protect and further the validity, priority and enforceability of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, to subject to the Loan
Documents any property of Borrower intended by the terms of any one or
more of the Loan Documents to be encumbered by the Loan Documents, or
otherwise carry out the purposes of the Loan Documents and the
transactions contemplated thereunder provided that the foregoing shall
not impose any additional material liability or obligation on, nor
materially reduce the rights of Borrower. Borrower agrees that it
shall, upon request, reasonably cooperate with Lender in connection
with any request by Lender to sever the Note into two (2) or more
separate substitute notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
Principal Amount and to reapportion the Loan among such separate
substitute notes, including, without limitation, by executing and
delivering to Lender new substitute notes to replace
the Note, amendments to or replacements of existing Loan Documents to
reflect such severance and/or Opinions of Counsel with respect to such
substitute notes, amendments and/or replacements, provided that
Borrower shall not be responsible for fees for any such
fractionalization that are incurred following the Closing Date other
than administrative costs and expenses of the Borrower. Subject to the
foregoing sentence, Lender shall reimburse Borrower for its reasonable
out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred in connection
with such resizing. Any such substitute notes may as among themselves
be pari passu, senior and subordinate and/or otherwise have varying
principal amounts and economic terms, provided, however, that (i) the
initial weighted average Applicable Interest Rate for the term of the
Notes shall not exceed the Applicable Interest Rate under the Note
immediately prior to the issuance of Notes; and (ii) subject to the
effect of any prepayments of such notes after an Event of Default, the
economics of the Loan (or severed portions thereof) and other terms of
the Loan, taken as a whole, shall not be modified by such
fractionalization in a manner which is in any material respect adverse
to Borrower (except any increase in the weighted average interest rate
of the Notes that may result after certain prepayments of the Loan have
been made in accordance with the terms hereof). Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply payment
of all sums due Notes in such order and priority as Lender shall elect
in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b) Borrower and Lender agree that Lender may,
at any time, elect to reduce the mortgage debt on the Property and
re-size the principal amount of the Loan and allocate the reduced
portion to a mezzanine loan (a MEZZANINE LOAN). In connection with the
foregoing, at Lender's sole cost and expense, Borrower agrees, subject
to the provisions of this Section 5.1.11(b) to (i) create a new single
purpose entity which will become the mezzanine borrower (a MEZZANINE
BORROWER), and cause the Mezzanine Borrower and any members in
Mezzanine Borrower to enter into the documents reasonably deemed
necessary by Lender to evidence the Mezzanine Loan, including, without
limitation, a promissory note and a mezzanine loan agreement
(collectively, the MEZZANINE LOAN DOCUMENTS), which Mezzanine Loan
Documents shall be subject to the review and approval of Borrower, not
to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (ii) cause Mezzanine Borrower
to pledge the equity interests in the Borrower, (iii) execute and
deliver such documents and other agreements reasonably required by
Lender to reduce the amount of the mortgage debt encumbering the
Property, including, without limitation, an amendment to the Note and
the other Loan Documents, an endorsement to the Title Policy reflecting
a change in the insured amount thereunder, legal opinions and other
customary loan documentation, provided, that, cumulatively, the
Mezzanine Loan Documents and the amendment to the Loan Documents and
any other actions taken pursuant to this Section 5.1.11(b) will not (x)
increase in any material respect the obligations or exposure, or
decrease the rights, of the Mezzanine Borrower and Borrower under the
Loan Documents and the Mezzanine Loan Documents, other than to a de
minimis extent or (y) change the economic or other material terms of
the Loan (taken as a whole with the Mezzanine Loan). Lender agrees to
reimburse Borrower for all
out of pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) actually incurred by Borrower
in connection with any of the undertakings contemplated by this Section
5.1.11(b).
(c) In addition, Borrower shall, at Borrower's
sole cost and expense:

acceptable to Lender, all instruments, documents, boundary

VI. INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; RESTORATION
SECTION 6.1 INSURANCE COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS. Borrower
shall, at its sole cost and expense, keep or cause to be kept in full force and
effect insurance coverage of the types and minimum limits as follows during the
term of this Agreement:
6.1.1 PROPERTY INSURANCE. Insurance against loss
customarily included under so called "All Risk" policies including flood,
earthquake, vandalism, and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery and such
other insurable hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time
are insured against for other property and buildings similar to the Improvements
and Building Equipment in nature, use, location, height, and type of
construction. Such insurance policy shall also insure the additional expense of
demolition and if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at
any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, provide coverage
for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and
Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an "Ordinance or Law
Coverage" or "Enforcement" endorsement. The amount of such "All Risk" insurance
shall be not less than the Principal Amount. Each such insurance policy shall
contain an agreed amount endorsement or a coinsurance waiver (or in the
alternative, a no co-insurance policy) and replacement cost value endorsement
and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant
improvements and betterments which Borrower is required to insure in accordance
with any Lease (excluding subleases). If the insurance required under this
paragraph is not obtained by blanket insurance policies, the insurance policy
shall be endorsed to also provide a limit greater than 100% of the replacement
cost. Lender shall be named as "Loss Payee" on a "Standard Mortgagee
Endorsement" and be provided not less than thirty (30) days advance notice of
change in coverage, cancellation or non-renewal.
6.1.2 LIABILITY INSURANCE. "General Public
Liability" insurance, including, without limitation, "Commercial General
Liability" insurance; "Owned" (if any), "Hired" and "Non Owned Auto Liability";
and "Umbrella Liability" coverage for "Personal Injury", "Bodily Injury",
"Death, Accident and Property Damage", providing in combination no less than
$50,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate, per location. The
policies described in this paragraph shall cover, without limitation, elevators,
escalators, independent contractors, "Contractual Liability" (covering, to the
maximum extent permitted by law, Borrower's obligation to indemnify Lender as
required under this Agreement) and "Products and Completed Operations Liability"
coverage. All public liability insurance shall name Lender as "Additional
Insured" either on a specific endorsement or under a blanket endorsement
satisfactory to Lender.
6.1.3 WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE. Statutory
workers compensation and disability insurance (to the extent the risks to be
covered thereby are not already covered by other policies maintained by
Borrower), with respect to any work by Borrower performed on or about the
Property.
6.1.4 COMMERCIAL RENTS INSURANCE. "Commercial
rents" insurance in an amount equal to thirty-six (36) months actual rental loss
(inclusive of any operating expenses and taxes regarding the Condominium Unit)
with a limit of liability sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to
provide Proceeds which will cover the actual loss of profits and rents sustained
during the period of at least thirty-six (36) months following the date of
casualty. Such policies of insurance shall be subject only to exclusions that
are reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that such exclusions are
reasonably consistent with those required for loans similar to the Loan provided
herein. Such insurance shall be deemed to include "loss of rental value"
insurance where applicable. The term "rental value" means the sum of (A) the
total then ascertainable Rents payable under the Bloomberg Lease (other than
subleases) and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other amounts to be
received by Borrower from third parties which are the legal obligations of
Bloomberg, reduced to the extent such amounts would not be received because of
operating expenses not incurred during a period of non-occupancy of that portion
of such Property then not being occupied.

period of repair or restoration, builder's "All-Risk" insurance on a completed
value, non-reporting basis in an amount equal to not less than the full
insurable value of the Property against such risks (including so called "All
Risk" perils coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits as
Lender may reasonably request, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to
Lender).
6.1.6 BOILER AND MACHINERY INSURANCE.
Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion)
covering all mechanical and electrical equipment, if any, located in, on or
about the Property against physical damage, rent loss and improvement loss and
covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that
Borrower is required to insure pursuant to any lease on a replacement cost
basis. The minimum amount of limits to be provided shall be $50,000,000 per
accident.
6.1.7 FLOOD INSURANCE. If any portion of the
Improvements is located within an area designated as "flood prone" or a "special
flood hazard area" (as defined under the regulations adopted under the National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973),
flood insurance shall be provided, in an amount not less than the maximum limit
of coverage available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan with respect to the
Property. Lender reserves the right to require flood insurance in excess of that
available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan.
6.1.8 OTHER INSURANCE, LEASE TERMINATION INSURANCE
AND TERRORISM INSURANCE.
(a) Provided that the Terrorism Risk Insurance
Act of 2002 (TRIA) or a similar statute is in effect, Borrower shall be
required to maintain or cause to be maintained insurance coverage
relating to the acts of terrorism by or on behalf of foreign groups,
individuals or interests (TERRORISM INSURANCE) on a per occurrence
basis for the Building, the Commercial Premises, Residential Premises,
Property, any Unit and/or any other interest in the Property (as each
such term is defined in the Condominium Documents) in an amount equal
to the sum of (x) the Principal Amount and (y) the amount of any
Terrorism Insurance required by any other lender or Person that has a
loan at any time secured by an interest in the Building, the Commercial
Premises, Residential Premises, Property, any Unit and/or any other
interest in the Property (as each such term is defined in the
Condominium Documents) (the REQUIRED TERRORISM INSURANCE AMOUNT);
provided, however, Lender agrees that Borrower shall not be required to
spend (or cause the Condominium Board to spend) more than $2,000,000
per annum for Terrorism Insurance (it being agreed that if the cost to
purchase the Required Terrorism Insurance Amount exceeds $2,000,000 per
year, Borrower will only be required to obtain or cause to be to
obtained that amount of Terrorism Insurance that can be purchased for
$2,000,000 per annum). If TRIA or a similar statute is not in effect,
then, provided that Terrorism Insurance is either (i) commercially
available, or (ii) maintained for another Class "A" office property in
the same geographic area as the Property which is owned directly or
indirectly by an Affiliate of Borrower, then Borrower shall be required
to carry Terrorism Insurance throughout the term of the Loan on a per
occurrence basis for the Condominium Unit in an amount not less than
the Principal Amount. Lender agrees that Terrorism Insurance may be
provided under a blanket policy that is acceptable to Lender.
(b) At Lender's reasonable request, such other
insurance with respect to the Property against loss or damage of the
kinds from time to time customarily insured against and in such amounts
as are generally required by institutional lenders on loans of similar
amounts and secured by properties comparable to the Property.
6.1.9 RATINGS OF INSURERS. Borrower shall maintain
the insurance coverage described in Section 6.1.1 through Section 6.1.8 above,
in all cases, with one or more domestic primary insurers reasonably acceptable
to Lender, having claims-paying-ability and financial strength ratings by S&P of
not less than "A" and its equivalent by the other Rating Agencies. All insurers
providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be authorized to issue
insurance in the State; provided, however, if the insurance provided pursuant to
Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.4 is procured by a syndication of more then five (5)
insurers then the foregoing requirements shall not be violated if such insurance
is provided (a) under a blanket policy and at least sixty percent (60%) of the
limits of insurance in place on the date hereof and thereafter is with the
primary carrier having a claims paying ability rating of "A" or better and the
other carriers having a claims paying ability rating of "BBB" or better by S&P
and its equivalent by the other Rating Agencies.
6.1.10 FORM OF INSURANCE POLICIES; ENDORSEMENTS.
All insurance policies shall be in such form (except to the extent the forms are
"filed forms") and with such endorsements as are satisfactory to Lender (and
Lender shall have the right to confirm amounts, form (except to the extent the
forms are "filed forms"), risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds).
A certificate of insurance with respect to all of the above-mentioned insurance
policies has been delivered to Lender and Borrower shall make available all
certificates of insurance or copies of such policies as are provided to it
pursuant to the Bloomberg Lease, if any. Borrower shall make all originals or
certified copies of all such policies available for Lender's review in New York
City when the same are normally and customarily available following the Closing
Date. All policies (except policies for worker's compensation) shall name Lender
as an additional insured, shall provide that all Proceeds (except with respect
to Proceeds of general liability and workers' compensation insurance) be payable
to Lender as and to the extent set forth in Section 6.2, and shall contain: (i)
a standard "non-contributory mortgagee" endorsement or its equivalent relating
to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions
of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Lender; (iii)
an endorsement providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated by
virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of declarations,
warranties or conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Lender or any
other named insured, additional insured or loss payee, except for the willful
misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy;
and (iv) an endorsement providing 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 Lender. Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have
each such insurance policy also include (1) a provision that such policies shall
not be canceled, terminated or expire without at least thirty (30) days' prior
written notice to
Lender, in each instance and (2) a provision whereby the insurer agrees that
such policy shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage, deductible, and
limits of such policy shall not be modified, other provisions of such policy
shall not be modified is such policy, after giving effect to such modification,
would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such policy shall not
be canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each case, at least thirty (30)
days prior written notice to Lender. Each insurance policy shall contain a
provision whereby the insurer: (1) waives any right to claim any premiums and
commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the
requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the
insured, and (2) provides that Lender at its option, shall be permitted to make
payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation
due to non-payment of premiums. In the event any insurance policy (except for
general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall
contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with
respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be
invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act
or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions
contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the
Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C)
any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement.
6.1.11 CERTIFICATES. Borrower shall deliver to
Lender annually, concurrently with the renewal of the insurance policies
required hereunder, a certificate from Borrower's insurance agent stating that
the insurance policies required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this
Section 6.1 are maintained with insurers who comply with the terms of Section
6.1.9, setting forth a schedule describing all premiums required to be paid by
Borrower to maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section 6.1,
and stating that Borrower has paid such premiums. Certificates of insurance with
respect to all replacement policies shall be delivered to Lender not less than
seven (7) Business Days prior to the expiration date of any of the insurance
policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall bear
notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums. Borrower shall (i) subject
to the second sentence of Section 6.1.10 hereof, make originals (or certified
copies) of such replacement insurance policies available for review by Lender in
New York City and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Lender
certificates of such replacement insurance policies within thirty (30) days
after the effective date thereof and deliver such policies to Lender within five
(5) Business Days after Borrower's receipt thereof. If Borrower fails to
maintain and make available the certified copies or originals of insurance
policies or to deliver to Lender the certificates of insurance and required by
this Agreement, upon five (5) Business Days' prior notice to Borrower, Lender
may procure such insurance, and all costs thereof (and interest thereon at the
Default Rate) shall be added to the Indebtedness. Lender shall not, by the fact
of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to
obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of
insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts,
solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower
hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any,
with respect.
6.1.12 SEPARATE INSURANCE. Borrower will not take
out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to
be maintained pursuant to this Section 6.1 unless such insurance complies with
this Section 6.1.
6.1.13 BLANKET POLICIES. The insurance coverage
required under Section 6.1 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies
covering the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of
the Property; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify, except in the
case of public liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such
policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sublimits in such blanket
policy applicable to the Property, which amounts shall not be less than the
amounts required pursuant to Section 6.1 and which shall in any case comply in
all other respects with the requirements of this Section 6.1. Upon Lender's
request, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's Certificate setting forth
(i) the number of properties covered by such policy, (ii) the location by city
(if available, otherwise, county) and state of the properties, (iii) the average
square footage of the properties (or the aggregate square footage), (iv) a brief
description of the typical construction type included in the blanket policy and
(v) such other information as Lender may reasonably request. Borrower shall make
all such policies available for inspection by Lender in Borrower's offices upon
reasonable advance notice by Lender to Borrower. Borrower will not, and will not
permit any other Person to amend the terms of the Credit Wrap Insurance Policy
to add any other additional insured, mortgagee and/or loss payee of any
insurance proceeds regarding the Building, the Commercial Premises, Residential
Premises, Property, any Unit and/or any other interest in the Property (as each
such term is defined in the Condominium Documents) (including, without
limitation, adding any lender which finances any interest in any of the
Building, the Commercial Premises, Residential Premises, any Unit and/or any
other interest in the Property).
SECTION 6.2 CONDEMNATION AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS.
6.2.1 NOTIFICATION. Borrower will promptly notify
Lender in writing upon obtaining knowledge of (i) the institution of any
proceedings relating to any Taking (whether material or immaterial) of, or (ii)
the occurrence of any casualty, damage or injury to the Property or any portion
thereof, the restoration of which is estimated by Borrower in good faith to cost
more than the Threshold Amount. In addition, each such notice shall set forth
such good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such casualty,
damage, injury or Taking in reasonable detail if the same is then available and,
if not, as soon thereafter as it can reasonably be provided.
6.2.2 PROCEEDS. In the event of any Taking or any
casualty or other damage or injury to the Property, Borrower's right, title and
interest in and to all compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims,
insurance recoveries, causes and rights of action (whether accrued prior to or
after the date hereof) and payments which Borrower may receive or to which
Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof
other than payments received in connection with any liability or loss of rental
value or business interruption insurance (collectively, PROCEEDS), in connection
with any such Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property
or any part thereof are hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and, except as
otherwise provided herein, in the Bloomberg Lease, in the Condominium
Declaration or in the By-Laws, shall be paid to the Lender. Borrower will or
will cause the Condominium Board to, in good faith and in a commercially
reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement
of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to the Condominium Documents, the terms
hereof and the Proxy, Borrower's right to receive the direct payment of any
Proceeds and Bloomberg's right to such Proceeds under the Bloomberg Lease, will
cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of a Monetary Default or an Event of Default, Borrower
may settle any insurance claim with respect to Proceeds which does not exceed
the Threshold Amount. Subject to the Condominium Documents, whether or not a
Monetary Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned, or delayed any settlement which could in Lender's sole
but reasonable discretion result in any Proceeds in excess of the Threshold
Amount and Borrower will deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all
instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower
will pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses reasonably
incurred by Lender (including all reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, the
reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred
in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to
the extent not paid within fifteen (15) days after delivery of a written request
for reimbursement by Lender, in connection with the settlement of any claim for
Proceeds and seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in
accordance with the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by
Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such
Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for
Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay
for the cost of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof, and in the event
such Proceeds exceed the Threshold Amount (unless such Proceeds are the result
of a Casualty Event), such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held
by Lender in the Proceeds Reserve Account in trust for Borrower, in each case to
be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Section 6.2 subject to the
Bloomberg Lease, the Condominium Declaration and/or the By-Laws. If an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file
and/or prosecute (or fails to cause the Condominium Board to file and/or
prosecute) any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days
following Borrower's receipt of written notice from Lender, Borrower hereby
irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement
thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt
for any such payment, all at Borrower's expense (including payment of interest
at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Section
6.2 and not reimbursed by Borrower within thirty (30) days). Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, however, and excluding
situations requiring prepayment of the Note, to the extent any Proceeds (either
singly or when aggregated with all other then unapplied Proceeds with respect to
the Property) do not exceed the Threshold Amount (unless such Proceeds are the
result of a Casualty Event), such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower
to be applied to restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof
(except that Proceeds paid in respect of the insurance described in Section
6.1.4 shall be deposited directly to the Collection Account as revenue of the
Property).
6.2.3 LENDER TO TAKE PROCEEDS. Subject to the
Bloomberg Lease, the Condominium Declaration and/or the By-Laws, if (i) a
Monetary Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
or (ii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall have occurred, or (iii)
the Work is not capable of being completed before the earlier to occur of the
date which is three (3) months prior to the earlier of the Anticipated Repayment
Date and the date on which the business interruption insurance carried by
Borrower with respect to the Property shall expire (the CUT-OFF DATE), unless on
or prior to the Cut-Off Date the Borrower (x) shall deliver to the Lender and
there shall remain in effect a binding written offer, subject only to customary
conditions, of an Approved Bank or such other financial institution or
investment bank reasonably satisfactory to Lender duly authorized to originate
loans secured by real property located in the State for a loan from such
Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank to the
Borrower in a principal amount of not less than the then Principal Amount and
which shall, in the Lender's reasonable judgment, enable the Borrower to
refinance the Loan prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date and (y) if a
Securitization shall have occurred, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation,
or (iv) Bloomberg shall exercise its termination right under the Bloomberg
Lease, or (v) the Property is not capable of being restored substantially to its
condition prior to such Taking or casualty and such incapacity shall have a
Material Adverse Effect, then in any such case, all Proceeds (other than any
amounts to which Bloomberg is entitled to under the Bloomberg Lease or any other
party is entitled to under the Condominium Declaration or By-Laws) shall be paid
over to Lender (if not paid directly to Lender) and any Proceeds (other than any
amounts to which Bloomberg is entitled to under the Bloomberg Lease or any other
party is entitled to under the Condominium Declaration or By-Laws) remaining
after reimbursement of Lender's or its agent's reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses actually incurred in connection with recovery of any such Proceeds
(including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket administrative costs
and inspection fees) shall be applied by Lender to prepay the Note in accordance
with the provisions thereof, and the balance, if any shall be paid to the
Borrower; provided, however, if such Proceeds would pursuant to the terms of
this Section be applied to prepay the Note solely as a result of a Monetary
Default, Lender shall not apply such Proceeds to prepay the Loan until such
Monetary Default results in an Event of Default.
6.2.4 BORROWER TO RESTORE.
(a) Subject to the Bloomberg Lease, the
Condominium Declaration and the By-Laws and promptly after the
occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the
Property or a Taking of a portion of the Property, Borrower shall
commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and
diligently prosecuted, to completion, subject to Excusable Delays, the
repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Property (in the case of a
partial Taking, to the extent it is capable of being restored) so
damaged, destroyed or remaining after such Taking in full compliance
with all material Legal Requirements and free and clear of any and all
Liens except Permitted
Encumbrances (such repair, restoration and rebuilding are sometimes
hereinafter collectively referred to as the WORK). The plans and
specifications shall require that the Work be done in a workmanlike
manner at least equivalent to the quality and character prior to the
damage or destruction (provided, however, that in the case of a partial
Taking, the Property restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably
practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial
Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at
least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the
damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower
shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition
of the Property prior to any partial Taking of, or casualty or other
damage or injury to, the Property, if the Work actually performed, if
any, or failed to be performed, shall have no Material Adverse Effect
on the value of the Property from the value that the Property would
have had if the same had been restored to its condition immediately
prior to such Taking or casualty. Subject to Borrower's rights pursuant
to Section 2.3.3 to cause the Property to be released from the Lien of
the Security Instrument, and subject to the Bloomberg Lease, the
Condominium Declaration and the By-Laws, Borrower shall be obligated to
restore the Property suffering a casualty or which has been subject to
a partial Taking in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2
at Borrower's sole cost and expense whether or not the Proceeds shall
be sufficient, provided that, if applicable, the Proceeds shall be made
available to Borrower by Lender in accordance with this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any term in the Loan Documents to the contrary, (i) any
Work resulting from a Casualty Event may only be performed by an
Approved Contractor (together with any sub-contractors hired by such
Approved Contractor) pursuant to a construction contract acceptable to
Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion (which must expressly
include Lender as a third party beneficiary and permitted assignee of
Borrower's rights under the contract) and (ii) Proceeds will only be
made available by Lender to Borrower for Work resulting from a Casualty
Event after Borrower provides to Lender (a) evidence that the Approved
Contractor has provided payment and performance bonds (with Lender
named as a dual obligee thereunder) for completion of all of the Work
in favor of Lender (by way of a collateral assignment from Borrower and
consented to in writing by the Approved Contractor) in form acceptable
to Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion and (b) a completion
guaranty from Guarantor in favor of Lender in form substantially
identical to the form of guaranty attached hereto as Exhibit G (the
COMPLETION GUARANTY) together with an Opinion of Counsel reasonably
acceptable to Lender regarding the due organization and authority of
Guarantor, enforcement of the guaranty and any other matters reasonably
requested by Lender. After a Casualty Event occurs, Borrower agrees to
cause Guarantor to deliver to Lender a duly executed copy of the
Completion Guaranty within two (2) Business Days after the earlier to
occur of (i) any election by Bloomberg not to terminate the Bloomberg
Lease in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1(B)(1) thereof and
(ii) the date Borrower delivers to Bloomberg a Casualty Statement
pursuant to Section 10.1(B(1) of the Bloomberg Lease which by its terms
does not entitle Bloomberg to terminate the Bloomberg Lease.
(b) If Proceeds are not required to be applied
toward payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to the terms hereof, the
terms of the Bloomberg Lease, the terms of the Condominium Declaration
or the terms of the By-Laws, then Lender shall make the Proceeds which
it is holding pursuant to the terms hereof (after payment of any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Lender in
connection with the collection thereof plus interest thereon at the
Applicable Interest Rate (from the date advanced through the date of
reimbursement) to the extent the same are not paid within thirty (30)
after request for reimbursement by Lender) available to Borrower for
payment of or reimbursement of Borrower's or Bloomberg's expenses
incurred with respect to the Work, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) below and in
Section 6.2.4 and Section 6.2.5:
(i) at the time of loss or damage or at
any time thereafter while Borrower is holding any portion of
the Proceeds, there shall be no continuing or Event of
Default;
(ii) if, at any time, the estimated cost
of the Work (as estimated by the Independent Architect
referred to in clause (iii) below) shall exceed the Proceeds
(a DEFICIENCY), Borrower shall, at its option (within a
reasonable period of time after receipt of such estimate)
either deposit with or deliver to Lender (A) Cash and Cash
Equivalents in amount equal to the Deficiency, (B) a Letter or
Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the Deficiency, or (C)
such other evidence of Borrower's ability to meet such excess
costs and which is reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the
Rating Agencies; for so long as a Deficiency shall exist,
Lender shall not be required to make any Proceeds disbursement
to Borrower;
(iii) Each of Lender and the Independent
Architect shall have reasonably approved the plans and
specifications for the Work and any change orders in
connection with such plans and specifications; and
(iv) Lender shall, within a reasonable
period of time prior to request for initial disbursement, be
furnished with an estimate of the cost of the Work accompanied
by an Independent Architect's certification as to such costs
and appropriate plans and specifications for the Work.
Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they
are restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their
contemplated use comply in all material respects with all
applicable Legal Requirements including zoning, environmental
and building laws, codes, ordinances and regulations.
6.2.5 DISBURSEMENT OF PROCEEDS.
(a) Subject to Section 6.2.4, the Bloomberg
Lease, the Condominium Declaration and the By-Laws, disbursements of
the Proceeds in
Cash or Cash Equivalents to Borrower hereunder shall be made from time
to time (but not more frequently than once in any month) by Lender but
only for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, as the Work progresses upon receipt by Lender of (i) an
Officer's Certificate dated not more than ten (10) Business Days prior
to the application for such payment, requesting such payment or
reimbursement and describing the Work performed that is the subject of
such request, the parties that performed such Work and the actual cost
thereof, and also certifying that such Work and materials are or, upon
disbursement of the payment requested to the parties entitled thereto,
will be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, (ii)
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials
installed and work and labor performed in connection with such Work
have been or, upon disbursement of the requested payments to the
parties entitled thereto, will be, paid for in full and (B) there
exists no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic's liens or notices
of intention to file same (unless the same is required by State law as
a condition to the payment of a contractor) or any liens or
encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of
the Work which have not been either fully bonded to the satisfaction of
Lender or discharged of record or in the alternative, fully insured to
the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company that issued the Title
Policy and (iii) an Independent Architect's certificate certifying
performance of the Work together with an estimate of the cost to
complete the Work. No payment made prior to the final completion of the
Work, as certified by the Independent Architect, except for payment
made to contractors whose Work shall have been fully completed and from
which final lien waivers have been received, shall exceed ninety
percent (90%) (the RETAINAGE RELEASE THRESHOLD) of the value of the
Work performed and materials furnished and incorporated into the
Improvements from time to time until such time as fifty percent (50%)
of such Work has been satisfactorily completed (as certified by the
Independent Architect), at which time the Retainage Release Threshold
with respect to such Work shall be increased to ninety-five (95%), and
at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds together with all
amounts deposited, bonded, guaranteed or otherwise provided for
pursuant to Section 6.2.4(b) above, shall be at least sufficient to pay
for the estimated cost of completion of the Work; final payment of all
Proceeds remaining with Lender shall be made upon receipt by Lender of
a certification by an Independent Architect, as to the completion of
the Work substantially in accordance with the submitted plans and
specifications, final lien releases, and the filing of a notice of
completion and the expiration of the period provided under the law of
the State for the filing of mechanics' and materialmens' liens which
are entitled to priority as to other creditors, encumbrances and
purchasers, as certified pursuant to an Officer's Certificate, and
delivery of a temporary certificate of occupancy for the core and shell
with respect to the Work, or, if not applicable, an Officer's
Certificate to the effect that a certificate of occupancy is not
required.
(b) Subject to the Bloomberg Lease, the
Condominium Declaration and the By-Laws, if, after the Work is
completed and all costs of completion have been paid, there are excess
Proceeds, Lender shall apply such
excess Proceeds with respect to the Taking of or casualty to the
Property to the payment or prepayment of all or any portion of the
Indebtedness secured hereby, without payment of the Yield Maintenance
Premium, the Liquidated Damages Amount or any other prepayment fee or
charge of any kind (except that interest shall be payable through the
end of the then current Interest Period even if such period extends
beyond the date of such prepayment) and any balance thereof, shall be
paid over to Borrower.
VII. IMPOSITIONS, OTHER CHARGES, LIENS AND OTHER ITEMS
SECTION 7.1 BORROWER TO PAY IMPOSITIONS AND OTHER
CHARGES. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Impositions now or hereafter
levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to
the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof
and shall pay all Other Charges on or before the date they are due. Borrower
shall deliver to Lender annually, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after
the first day of each fiscal year of Borrower, and shall update as new
information is received, a schedule describing all Impositions, payable or
estimated to be payable during such fiscal year attributable to or affecting the
Property or Borrower. Subject to Borrower's right of contest set forth in
Section 7.3, as set forth in the next two sentences and provided that there are
sufficient funds available in the Tax Reserve Account, Lender, on behalf of
Borrower, shall pay all Impositions and Other Charges which are attributable to
or affect the Property or Borrower, prior to the date such Impositions or Other
Charges shall become delinquent or late charges may be imposed thereon, directly
to the applicable taxing authority with respect thereto. Lender shall, or Lender
shall direct the Cash Management Bank to, pay to the taxing authority or other
relevant Person such amounts to the extent funds in the Tax Reserve Account are
sufficient to pay such Impositions. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the
Security Instrument shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any tax,
assessment, levy or charge imposed on Lender in the nature of a franchise,
capital levy, estate, inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.
SECTION 7.2 NO LIENS. Subject to its right of contest
set forth in Section 7.3, Borrower shall at all times keep, or cause to be kept,
the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall
pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of mechanics,
materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the
creation of a Lien on the Property or any portion thereof and shall in any event
cause the prompt, full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or
against the Property or any portion thereof within sixty (60) days after
receiving written notice of the filing (whether from Lender, the lienor any
other Person) thereof. Borrower shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost
of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve the first
priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument against the Property, subject to
the Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default with respect to its Obligations as set forth in this Article VII, Lender
may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien,
and Borrower shall reimburse Lender within twenty (20) days after Lender's
demand therefor for all such advances pursuant to Section 19.12 (together with
interest thereon at the Default Rate). Lender agrees that (x) the lien of the
Security Instrument is, subject to the terms of the Condominium Declaration,
subordinate to the Condominium Declaration (as amended from time to time in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement), and (y) Lender will confirm
such subordination in a written instrument (in recordable form) in favor of the
Condominium Board that is in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender from time to
time (at the reasonable request of Borrower) within ten (10) Business days after
Borrower's written request. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender
in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any
Non-Disturbance Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower (in advance, if requested by
Lender).
SECTION 7.3 CONTEST. Nothing contained herein shall be
deemed to require Borrower to pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition, to
satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal Requirement or Insurance
Requirement, so long as Borrower is in good faith, and by proper legal
proceedings, where appropriate, diligently contesting the validity, amount or
application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the commencement
of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action or
proceeding (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder, (ii)
Borrower shall keep Lender informed of the status of such contest at reasonable
intervals, (iii) if Borrower is not providing security as provided in clause
(vi) below, adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower's
books or in the Tax Reserve Account or Insurance Reserve Account, as applicable,
(iv) such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement as the case may
be, of the contested Imposition, Lien or Legal Requirement and such contest is
maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or
Lien is bonded, (v) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of
Borrower to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any insurance
required to be maintained by Borrower under Section 6.1 or the right to full
payment of any claims thereunder, and (vi) in the case of Impositions and Liens
in excess of $5,000,000 individually, or in the aggregate, which are not bonded,
during such contest, Borrower, shall deposit with or deliver to Lender either
Cash and Cash Equivalents or a Letter or Letters of Credit in an amount equal to
110% of (A) the amount of Borrower's obligations being contested plus (B) any
additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such contest; provided,
however, Borrower shall not be required to deliver such additional collateral if
in Lender's sole but reasonable discretion a provision is made to Lender for
protection of Lender's interest in the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other
security, Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or
Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and
compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time
the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Lender's reasonable judgment,
in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Lender is likely to be subject
to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding
is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to
Lender reasonable evidence of Borrower's compliance with such contested
Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may
be.
VIII. TRANSFERS, INDEBTEDNESS AND SUBORDINATE LIENS
SECTION 8.1 RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS. Unless such
action is permitted by the provisions of this Article VIII, Borrower shall not,
and shall not permit any other Person to, except with the prior written consent
of Lender, (i) Transfer all or any part of the Property, (ii) incur any Debt of
Borrower, other than Permitted Debt or Permitted Encumbrances, or (iii) permit
any Transfer (directly or indirectly) of any interest in Borrower, or any SPE
Entity.
SECTION 8.2 SALE OF BUILDING EQUIPMENT. Borrower may
Transfer or dispose of Building Equipment which is being replaced or which is no
longer necessary in connection with the operation of the Property free from the
Lien of the Security Instrument provided that such Transfer or disposal will not
have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole,
will not materially impair the utility of the Property, and will not result in a
reduction or abatement of, or right of offset against, the Rents payable under
any Lease (excluding subleases), in either case as a result thereof, and
provided that any new Building Equipment acquired by Borrower (and not so
disposed of) shall be subject to the Lien of the Security Instrument. Lender
shall, from time to time, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate requesting
the same and confirming satisfaction of the conditions set forth above, execute
a written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender to confirm that
such Building Equipment which is to be, or has been, sold or disposed of is free
from the Lien of the Security Instrument.
SECTION 8.3 IMMATERIAL TRANSFERS AND EASEMENTS, ETC.
Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, (i) make immaterial Transfers of
portions of the Property to Governmental Authorities for dedication or public
use (subject to the provisions of Section 6.2) or, portions of the Property to
third parties for the purpose of erecting and operating additional structures
whose use is integrated with the use of the Property, and (ii) grant easements,
restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way in the ordinary course
of business for access, water and sewer lines, cable, telephone and telegraph
lines, electric lines or other utilities or for other similar purposes, provided
that no such Transfer, conveyance or encumbrance set forth in the foregoing
clauses (i) and (ii) shall materially impair the utility and operation of the
Property or have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property taken as
a whole. In connection with any Transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 8.3,
Lender shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or
appropriate, in the case of the Transfers referred to in clause (i) above, to
release the portion of the Property affected by such Taking or such Transfer
from the Lien of the Security Instrument or, in the case of clause (ii) above,
to subordinate the Lien of the Security Instrument to such easements,
restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants
upon receipt by Lender of:
(a) thirty (30) days prior written notice
thereof;
(b) a copy of the instrument or instruments of
Transfer;
(c) an Officer's Certificate stating (x) with
respect to any Transfer, the consideration, if any, being paid for the
Transfer and (y) that such Transfer does not materially impair the
utility and operation of the Property, materially reduce the value of
the Property or have a Material Adverse Effect; and
(d) reimbursement of all of Lender's reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer.
SECTION 8.4 INTENTIONALLY DELETED.
SECTION 8.5 PERMITTED TRANSFERS. A Transfer of (but not
a mortgage, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance or grant of a security interest
in) a direct or indirect beneficial interest in Borrower shall be permitted
without Lender's consent if (i) Lender receives thirty (30) days prior written
notice thereof, (ii) such Transfer is to one or more Qualified Institutional
Borrowers or one or more Persons wholly owned, directly or indirectly, by one or
more Qualified Institutional Borrowers, (iii) immediately prior to such
Transfer, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iv)
subsequent to such Transfer, Borrower will continue to be a Single Purpose
Entity, (v) a Qualifying Manager shall manage the Property, (vi) if (x) such
Transfer causes the Transferee to own, in the aggregate with the ownership
interests of its Affiliates and family members, more than a 49% interest in
Borrower (and the Transferee (in the aggregate with the ownership interests of
its Affiliates and family members) did not, prior to such Transfer, own more
than a 49% interest in Borrower), or (y) such Transfer, together with all other
Transfers by Borrower, whether in a single Transfer or in a series of Transfers
and whether or not effected simultaneously, results in a Transfer of more than
49% of the aggregate limited liability interests in Borrower or (z) subsequent
to any Transfer, Guarantor does not Control, directly or indirectly, Borrower,
(a) a reasonably acceptable non-consolidation opinion is delivered to Lender
concerning, as applicable, Borrower, the new Transferee, any Person which
subsequent to the permitted Transfer will own 49% or more of Borrower and/or
their respective owners (if applicable), and (b) a Rating Agency Confirmation is
obtained by Borrower and delivered to Lender and (vii) Borrower shall reimburse
Lender, on the date of such Transfer, for all reasonable costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and disbursements,
incurred or to be incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents shall in any way restrict or prohibit, nor shall any notice to
Lender or consent of Lender be required in connection with (1) the Transfer or
issuance of any securities or any direct or indirect interests in any direct or
indirect owner of Borrower that is publicly traded on a national exchange
(including, for so long as it is an indirect owner of Borrower, Guarantor and/or
Vornado Realty Trust, a Maryland business trust (VRT), as the case may be), or
(2) the merger or consolidation of Guarantor and/or VRT, as the case maybe, with
or into any other Person (each, a PUBLIC TRANSFER, and collectively, the PUBLIC
TRANSFERS); provided, however, that, if any Public Transfer or series of Public
Transfers (other than the sale of publicly traded shares in Guarantor and/or
VRT, as applicable, in the ordinary course of business) shall result in a change
in Control of Guarantor and/or VRT, as applicable, then Lender's prior written
consent shall be required (and, after a Securitization, a Rating Agency
Confirmation shall be required) in connection with such Public Transfer unless
after giving effect to such Public Transfer, Guarantor and/or VRT, as the case
may be (or their respective successor entity thereto), shall be a Person that
has and provides substantially at least the same experience and expertise as
Guarantor and/or VRT, as applicable, prior to such Transfer in conducting
business of the nature currently conducted by Guarantor and/or VRT, as
applicable or (3) the Transfer of any direct or indirect interest in Borrower to
VRT or Vornado Realty L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (VOP); provided if
after giving effect to such Transfer (a) more than 49% of the direct or indirect
aggregate limited liability interests in Borrower (whether individually or in
the aggregate of all such Transfers) are transferred to VRT and/or VOP (or
together with any of their respective Affiliates would exceed), Borrower must
first deliver to Lender a reasonably acceptable non-consolidation opinion to
Lender concerning Borrower, VRT and/or VOP (as applicable) and/or their
respective owners (if applicable) and/or (b) Guarantor would not Control,
directly or indirectly, Borrower, as a condition to such Transfer Borrower must
deliver to Lender a Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and Environmental Indemnity
and Completion Guaranty (if a Completion Guaranty is then in effect or a
ratification from Borrower that it will cause VRT to deliver such Completion
Guaranty in the future if required by the terms hereof and treating VRT as
Guarantor hereunder) in substantially the form of the Recourse Guaranty and
Environmental Indemnity and EXHIBIT G, respectively, from VRT to Lender (and
Lender shall release the Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents
except for any obligations which first arose prior to the applicable transfer)
together with any other documents reasonably requested by Lender. In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents shall in any way restrict or prohibit, nor shall any notice to
Lender or consent of Lender be required in connection with (i) the Transfer or
issuance of any direct or indirect interests in VOP, or (ii) the merger or
consolidation of VOP with or into any other Person; provided, however, that,
immediately after giving effect to each such Transfer, VRT (or any successor
entity permitted above as a result of a Public Transfer) shall continue to be
the managing general partner of VOP and VRT shall remain in control of the
business and operations of VOP, regardless of the percentage of equity interests
in VOP owned by VRT.
SECTION 8.6 DELIVERIES TO LENDER. Not less than thirty
(30) days prior to the closing of any transaction subject to the provisions of
this Article VIII, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's Certificate
describing the proposed transaction (other than transfers of publicly traded
shares in Guarantor in the ordinary course of business) and stating that such
transaction is permitted by this Article VIII, together with any appraisal or
other documents upon which such Officer's Certificate is based. In addition,
Borrower shall provide Lender with copies of executed transfer instruments or
other similar closing documents within ten (10) Business Days after such
closing.
SECTION 8.7 LOAN ASSUMPTION. Borrower shall have the
right to request Lender's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, to the assumption of the Loan by a proposed purchaser of the Property.
Any such assumption of the Loan shall be conditioned upon, among other things,
(i) the delivery of a Rating Agency Confirmation, (ii) the delivery of financial
information, including, without limitation, if available, audited financial
statements, for such purchaser and the direct and indirect owners such
purchaser, (iii) the delivery of evidence that the purchaser is a SPE
Entity, (iv) the execution and delivery of all documentation evidencing the loan
assumption reasonably requested by Lender, (v) the delivery of Opinions of
Counsel reasonably requested by Lender, including, without limitation, a
non-consolidation opinion with respect to the purchaser and other entities
identified by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies and opinions with
respect to the valid formation, due authority and good standing of the purchaser
and any additional pledgors and the continued enforceability of the Loan
Documents and any other matters requested by Lender, (vi) the delivery of a
Guaranty of Recourse Obligations and Environmental Indemnity in substantially
the form of the Recourse Guaranty and Environmental Indemnity, respectively,
from an entity acceptable to Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (and if
such entity is acceptable to Lender, Lender shall release the Guarantor from its
obligations under the Loan Documents except for any obligations which first
arose prior to the applicable transfer); (vii) the delivery of an endorsement to
the Title Policy in form and substance acceptable to Lender, insuring the lien
of the Security Instrument, as assumed, subject only to the Permitted
Encumbrances (or a letter from the Title Company confirming such matters in form
acceptable to Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion), (viii) other than
in connection with the first assumption of the Loan, the payment of an
assumption fee equal to one percent (1%) of the Principal Amount (the ASSUMPTION
FEE), (ix) all costs and expenses related to any assumption are to be paid by
Borrower and (x) the payment of all of Lender's reasonable fees, costs and

SECTION 8.8 BLOOMBERG LEASE.
8.8.1 MODIFIED LEASE. Borrower shall not (y)
consent to an assignment of the Bloomberg Lease that releases Bloomberg from its
obligations under the Lease, or (z) modify the Bloomberg Lease (including,
without limitation, accept a surrender of any portion of the Property subject to
the Bloomberg Lease (unless otherwise permitted or required by law), allow a
reduction in the term of such Lease or a reduction in the Rent payable
thereunder, change any renewal provisions thereunder, materially increase the
obligations of Borrower or materially decrease the obligations of Bloomberg or
terminate the Bloomberg Lease or permit the assignment or other transfer (by
operation of law or otherwise) of the Bloomberg Lease (any such action referred
to in clauses (y) and (z) being referred to herein as a MODIFIED LEASE) without
the prior written consent of Lender which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed provided such modification could not in
Lender's sole and absolute discretion result in a Material Adverse Effect. If,
after five (5) Business Day's following Lender's receipt of such Modified Lease
Lender has not either approved or disapproved the proposed Modified Lease,
Borrower shall deliver a second notice to Lender which notice must state on the
outside envelope in which such Modified Lease is delivered in bold, large
letters (no less than 15 font) the following: NOTICE: YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE
CONSENTED TO THE DOCUMENT ENCLOSED HEREIN IF NOT DISAPPROVED WITHIN FIVE (5)
BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove such
Modified Lease within ten Business Days after Lender's receipt of the second
notice shall be deemed to constitute Lender's approval thereof.
8.8.2 DELIVERY OF MODIFIED LEASE. Upon the
execution of any Modified Lease, as applicable, Borrower shall deliver to Lender
an executed copy of such Modified Lease.
8.8.3 LEASE AMENDMENTS. Borrower agrees that it

cancel, abridge, amend or otherwise modify the Bloomberg Lease unless such
modification complies with this Section 8.8.
8.8.4 SECURITY DEPOSITS/TERMINATION PAYMENTS.
(a) All security or other deposits of Bloomberg
under the Bloomberg Lease shall be treated as trust funds and shall not
be commingled with any other funds of Borrower, and such deposits,
shall be deposited, upon receipt of the same by Borrower in a separate
account (which shall be a trust account if required by applicable law)
maintained by Borrower expressly for such purpose. Within ten (10)
Business Days after written request by Lender, Borrower shall furnish
to Lender reasonably satisfactory evidence of compliance with this
Section 8.8.4, together with a statement of all lease securities
deposited with Borrower by Bloomberg and the location and account
number of the account in which such Security Deposits are held.
Attached hereto as SCHEDULE I, is a true correct and complete list of
all Security Deposits and the amounts thereof, currently in Borrower's
possession.
(b) In the event that Borrower receives the
proceeds of any security deposit as the result of a Bloomberg Default
(as hereinafter defined) or a termination payment as the result a
termination of the Bloomberg Lease or otherwise, Borrower agrees to
deposit such funds within two (2) Business Days after Borrower's
receipt thereof, into the Structural Reserve Account to be disbursed by
Lender pursuant to Section 16.3.
8.8.5 NO DEFAULT UNDER BLOOMBERG LEASE,
CONDOMINIUM DECLARATION OR BY-LAWS. Borrower shall (i) promptly perform and
observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed and
observed by Borrower under the Bloomberg Lease the Condominium Declaration or
the By-Laws, if the failure to perform or observe the same would have a Material
Adverse Affect; (ii) exercise, within ten (10) Business Days after a written
request by Lender, any right to request from Bloomberg under the Bloomberg
Lease, a certificate with respect to the status thereof; and (iii) not collect
any of the Rents, more than one (1) month in advance (except that Borrower may
collect such security deposits and last month's rents as are permitted by Legal
Requirements and are commercially reasonable in the prevailing market and
collect other charges in accordance with the terms of the Bloomberg Lease).
8.8.6 SUBORDINATION. All Modified Leases entered
into by Borrower after the date hereof shall by their express terms be subject
and subordinate to this Agreement and the Security Instrument (through a
subordination provision contained in such Lease or otherwise) and shall provide
that the Person holding any rights
thereunder shall attorn to Lender or any other Person succeeding to the
interests of Lender upon the exercise of its remedies hereunder or any transfer
in lieu thereof on the terms set forth in Section 8.8.7.
8.8.7 ATTORNMENT. Subject to the terms of the
Bloomberg SNDA (which shall supercede any conflicting provisions of this
section), each Modified Lease entered into from and after the date hereof shall
provide that in the event of the enforcement by Lender of any remedy under this
Agreement or the Security Instrument, Bloomberg under such Lease shall, at the
option of Lender or of any other Person succeeding to the interest of Lender as
a result of such enforcement, attorn to Lender or to such Person and shall
recognize Lender or such successor in the interest as lessor under such Lease
without change in the provisions thereof; provided, however, Lender or such
successor in interest shall not: (1) be liable for any previous act or omission
of Borrower under the Bloomberg Lease except to the extent that such act or
omission first arises under the Bloomberg Lease from and after the date that
Successor-Landlord (as such term is defined in the Bloomberg Lease) succeeds to
the interest of Borrower; (2) be subject to any off-set, credit, defense or
counterclaim which shall have theretofore accrued to Bloomberg against Borrower;
(3) be bound by (a) any modification of the Bloomberg Lease entered into without
Lender's consent after Bloomberg has, subject to the terms of Section 6 of the
Bloomberg SNDA, received written notice of Lender's existence, address and
relation to Borrower, or (b) any previous prepayment of rent or additional rent
for more than one (1) month which Bloomberg might have paid to Borrower other
than as required by the terms of the Bloomberg Lease; (4) be bound by any
obligation to make any payments to Bloomberg except to the extent that such
obligation first arises under the Bloomberg Lease from and after the date that
Successor-Landlord succeeds to the interest of Borrower; and (5) be bound by any
obligation to perform any work or to make improvements to the Condominium Unit,
except for (i) repairs and maintenance pursuant to the provisions of Articles 4,
5 and 6 of the Bloomberg Lease, the need for which repairs and maintenance first
arises after the date upon which Lender is entitled to possession of the
Condominium Unit, (ii) repairs to the Condominium Unit or any part thereof as a
result of damage by fire or other casualty pursuant to Article 10 of the
Bloomberg Lease, but only to the extent that such repairs can be reasonably made
from the net proceeds of any insurance actually made available to Lender (with
the understanding, however, that (I) nothing contained in this clause (ii)
limits Bloomberg's rights to terminate the Bloomberg Lease after the occurrence
of a fire or other casualty under Section 10.1(B) of the Bloomberg Lease, and
(II) Lender shall have the right to avoid being so bound by Borrower's covenant
to rebuild the Landlord Restoration Items (as such term is defined in the
Bloomberg Lease) after the occurrence of a fire or other casualty (regardless of
the availability of insurance proceeds therefor) only by giving notice to
Bloomberg of the election of Lender not to so rebuild earlier than the later to
occur of (X) the date that Lender is required to give the Casualty Statement (as
such term is defined in the Bloomberg Lease) for such fire or other casualty to
Bloomberg, and (Y) the thirtieth (30th) day after the date that Lender succeeds
to the interest of Borrower under the Bloomberg Lease), and (iii) repairs to the
Condominium Unit as a result of a partial condemnation pursuant to Article 11 of
the Bloomberg Lease, but only to the extent that such repairs can be reasonably
made from the net proceeds of any award made available to Lender (with the
understanding that nothing contained in
this clause (iii) shall limit Bloomberg's right to terminate the Bloomberg Lease
after the occurrence of a complete or partial condemnation under Section 11.1 of
the Bloomberg Lease). Borrower shall cause Bloomberg, upon the reasonable
request by Lender or such successor in interest, to execute and deliver an
instrument or instruments confirming such attornment.
8.8.8 NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENTS. Subject to the
terms of the Bloomberg SNDA, Lender shall enter into, and, if required by
applicable law to provide constructive notice or requested by Bloomberg, record
in the county where the subject Property is located, a subordination,
attornment, non-disturbance and estoppel agreement, in form and substance
substantially similar to the form attached hereto as EXHIBIT F (a
NON-DISTURBANCE AGREEMENT), with Bloomberg regarding a Modified Lease for which
Lender's prior written consent is required by this Section 8.8, within ten (10)
Business Days after written request therefor by Borrower, provided that, such
request is accompanied by an Officer's Certificate stating that such Lease
complies in all material respects with this Section 8.8. All reasonable costs
and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution and delivery of any Non-Disturbance Agreement, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, shall be paid by
Borrower (in advance, if requested by Lender).
IX. DEFEASANCE

9.1.1 At any time subsequent to the Defeasance
Lockout Period and prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, provided that all of

agrees that Borrower shall have the right to obtain a release of the Lien on the
Property upon at least 30 days prior written notice upon satisfaction of the
following (each such release, after satisfaction of the other provisions of this
Section 9.1, a DEFEASANCE):

Defeasance Collateral Requirement (which Defeasance Note Lender agrees
to accept by assignment from any new lender to Borrower);
(b) the execution and delivery of a security
agreement (the DEFEASANCE SECURITY AGREEMENT), in form and substance
reasonably acceptable to Lender, dated as of the date of the Defeasance

Borrower);
(c) the execution and delivery of appropriate
and reasonable agreements and/or instruments, each in form and
substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, pursuant to which the
obligations and liabilities of Borrower under the Defeasance Note and

time as all of the following events shall have occurred:
(a) the Defeasance Collateral Account shall have
been established pursuant to Section 9.1.5 hereof;
(b) Borrower shall have delivered or caused to
have been delivered to Lender the Defeasance Collateral for deposit

such other notification, if any, published by or on behalf of the
Federal Reserve Bank or other party maintaining a book-entry system
advising that
Lender or its nominee is the owner of such securities issued in
book-entry form, and (y) that states that:
(i) Borrower owns the Defeasance
Collateral being delivered to Lender free and clear of any and
all Liens, security interests or other encumbrances (other
than the Defeasance Security Agreement), and has not assigned
any interest or participation therein (or, if any such
interest or participation has been assigned, it has been
released), and Borrower has full power and authority to pledge
such Defeasance Collateral to Lender;
(ii) such Defeasance Collateral consists
solely of Defeasance Eligible Investments;
(iii) such Defeasance Collateral
satisfies the Defeasance Collateral Requirement, determined as
of the date of delivery; and
(iv) the information set forth in the

reasonably acceptable to Lender).
(e) Borrower shall have delivered or caused to
be delivered to Lender a Rating Agency Confirmation and such other
documents and certificates as Lender may reasonably request, including
Opinions of Counsel, in connection with demonstrating that Borrower has
satisfied the provisions of this Section 9.1.3(e), including but not
limited to an Opinion of Counsel stating, among other things, that (x)
Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the
Defeasance Collateral and that the Defeasance Security Agreement is
enforceable in accordance with its terms and (y) that any trust formed
as a REMIC pursuant to a securitization will not fail to maintain its
status as a REMIC as a result of such defeasance.
(f) Borrower shall have delivered to Lender a
certificate of a "big four" or other public accounting firm reasonably
acceptable to Lender certifying that the Defeasance Collateral will
generate monthly amounts which satisfy the Defeasance Collateral
Requirement.
9.1.4 For purposes of determining whether
sufficient amounts of Defeasance Collateral are on deposit in the Defeasance
Collateral Account, there shall be included only payments of principal and
predetermined and certain income thereon (as reasonably determined by Lender and
agreed to by Borrower without regard to any reinvestment of such amounts) that
will occur on a stated date for a stated payment on or before the dates when
such amounts may be required to be applied to pay the principal and interest
when due on the Note (and/or any substitute notes, as applicable) as of the
Anticipated Repayment Date, together with the outstanding principal balance of
the Note (and/or any substitute notes, as applicable) as of the Anticipated
Repayment Date.
9.1.5 On or before the date on which Borrower
delivers Defeasance Collateral to Lender pursuant to Section 9.1.3(b) hereof,
Borrower shall open at any Approved Bank (or other bank subject to the next
sentence hereof) at the time and acting as custodian for Lender, a defeasance
collateral account (the Defeasance Collateral Account) which shall at all times
be an Eligible Account, in which Borrower shall grant to Lender or reconfirm the
grant to Lender of a security interest. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall
contain (i) all Defeasance Collateral delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section
9.1.3(b) hereof, (ii) all payments received on Defeasance Collateral held in the
Defeasance Collateral Account and (iii) all income or other gains from
investment of moneys or other property deposited in the Defeasance Collateral
Account. All such amounts, including all income from the investment or
reinvestment thereof, shall be held by Lender, subject to withdrawal by Lender
for the purposes set forth in Section 9.1.6. Borrower shall be the owner of the
Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued on Defeasance
Collateral for federal, state and local income tax purposes in its income tax
return.
9.1.6 Lender shall withdraw, draw on or collect
and apply the amounts that are on deposit in the Defeasance Collateral Account
to pay when due the principal and all installments of interest and principal on
the Defeasance Note. Funds and other property in the Defeasance Collateral
Account shall not be commingled with any other monies or property of Borrower or
any Affiliate of Borrower. Lender shall not in any way be held liable by reason
of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account except to the extent
caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

X. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY; ALTERATIONS
SECTION 10.1 MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall
keep and maintain, or cause to be kept and maintained, the Property and every
part thereof in good condition and repair, subject to ordinary wear and tear,
and, subject to Excusable Delays and the provisions of this Agreement with
respect to damage or destruction caused by casualty events or Takings, shall not
permit or commit any waste, impairment, or deterioration of any portion of the
Property in any material respect. Borrower further covenants to do all other
acts which from the character or use of the Property may be reasonably necessary
to protect the security hereof, the specific enumerations herein not excluding
the general. Borrower shall not remove or demolish any Improvement on the
Property except as the same may be necessary in connection with an Alteration or
a restoration in connection with a Taking or casualty, or as otherwise permitted
herein, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
SECTION 10.2 CONDITIONS TO ALTERATION. Provided that no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, Borrower shall
have the right, without Lender's consent, to undertake any alteration,
improvement, demolition or removal of the Property or any portion thereof (any
such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an ALTERATION) so long as
(i) Borrower provides Lender with prior written notice of any Material
Alteration, and (ii) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the
applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, is not
prohibited by the Condominium Declaration, the By-Laws or any of the Bloomberg
Lease (except subleases) and shall not, upon completion (giving credit to rent
and other charges attributable to the Modified Leases executed upon such
completion), have a Material Adverse Effect on the value, use or operation of
the Property taken as a whole or otherwise. Any Material Alteration shall be
conducted under the supervision of an Independent Architect and, in connection
with any Material Alteration, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, for information
purposes only and not for approval by Lender, detailed plans and specifications
and cost estimates therefor, prepared by such Independent Architect, as well as
an Officer's Certificate stating whether such Alteration will involve an
estimated cost of not more than the Threshold Amount for Alterations at the
Property. Such plans and specifications may be revised at any time and from time
to time by such Independent Architect provided that material revisions of such
plans and specifications are filed with Lender, for information purposes only.
All work done in connection with any Alteration shall be performed with due
diligence in a good and workmanlike manner, all materials used in connection
with any Alteration shall not be less than the standard of quality of the
materials currently used at the Property and all materials used shall be in
accordance with all applicable material Legal Requirements and Insurance
Requirements. Nothing contained in this Section 10.2 shall limit the rights of
Bloomberg under the Bloomberg Lease with respect to alterations.
SECTION 10.3 COSTS OF ALTERATION. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Article X, no Material Alteration
(exclusive of Alterations being directly paid for by Bloomberg at the Property)
shall be performed by or on behalf of Borrower unless Borrower shall have
delivered to Lender Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit as
security in an amount not less than the estimated cost of the Material
Alteration which is in excess of the Threshold Amount (as set forth in the
Independent Architect's written estimate referred to above). Borrower and Lender
acknowledge that such security (i) will be held by the Cash Management Bank in
the Alterations Reserve Account and (ii) disbursed as hereinafter provided in
this Section 10.3. In addition to payment or reimbursement from time to time of
Borrower's expenses incurred in connection with any Material Alteration, the
amount of such security shall be reduced on any given date to the Independent
Architect's written estimate of the cost to complete the Material Alteration
(including any retainages), free and clear of Liens, other than Permitted
Encumbrances. Costs which are subject to retainage (which in no event shall be
less than 5% in the aggregate) shall be treated as due and payable and unpaid
from the date they would be due and payable but for their characterization as
subject to retainage. In the event that any Material Alteration shall be made in
conjunction with any restoration with respect to which Borrower shall be
entitled to withdraw Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.2, the amount of the Cash
and Cash Equivalents and/or Letter of Credit to be furnished pursuant hereto
need not exceed the aggregate cost of such
restoration and such Material Alteration (as estimated by the Independent
Architect), less the sum of the amount of any Proceeds which Borrower may be
entitled to withdraw pursuant to 6.2 and which are held by Lender in accordance
with Section 6.2. Payment or reimbursement of Borrower's expenses incurred with
respect to any Material Alteration shall be accomplished upon the terms and
conditions specified in Section 6.2. At any time after substantial completion of
any Material Alteration in respect of which Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a
Letter of Credit was deposited pursuant hereto, the whole balance of any Cash
and Cash Equivalents so deposited by Lender and then remaining on deposit
(together with earnings thereon), as well as all retainages, may be withdrawn by
Borrower and shall be paid by Lender to Borrower, and any other Cash and Cash
Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit so deposited or delivered shall, to the
extent it has not been called upon, reduced or theretofore released, be released
to Borrower, within ten (10) days after receipt by Lender of an application for
such withdrawal and/or release together with an Officer's Certificate, and
signed also (as to the following clause (i)) by the Independent Architect,
setting forth in substance as follows:
(a) that the Material Alteration in respect of
which such Cash and Cash Equivalents and/or a Letter of Credit was
deposited has been substantially completed in all material respects
substantially in accordance with any plans and specifications therefor
previously filed with Lender under Section 10.2 and that, if
applicable, a certificate of occupancy has been issued with respect to
such Material Alteration by the relevant Governmental Authority(ies)
or, if not applicable, that a certificate of occupancy is not required;
and
(b) that to the knowledge of the certifying
Person all amounts which Borrower is or may become liable to pay in
respect of such Material Alteration through the date of the
certification have been paid in full or adequately provided for or are
being contested in accordance with Section 7.3 and that lien waivers
have been obtained from the general contractor and major subcontractors
performing such Material Alterations (or such waivers are not customary
and reasonably obtainable by prudent managers in the area where the
Property is located).
Nothing contained in this Section 10.3 shall limit the rights of Bloomberg under
the Bloomberg Lease with respect to alterations.

financial condition and results of operations of Borrower, (B) that as of the
date of such Officer's Certificate, no Event of Default exists under this
Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document or, if so, specifying the nature
and status of each such Event of Default and the action then being taken by

being taking in relation thereto and (D) the amount by which actual Operating

11.2.2 ANNUAL REPORTS. Not later than one hundred
and twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower's
operations, Borrower shall deliver to Lender audited financial statements (such

fiscal year, as well as the supplemental schedule of net income or loss
presenting the net income or loss for the Property and occupancy statistics for

Borrower shall deliver a second notice to Lender which notice must state on the
outside envelope in which such Budget is delivered in bold, large letters (no
less than 15 font) the following: NOTICE: YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE CONSENTED

OF RECEIPT. Lender's failure to approve or disapprove such Budget within ten
(10) Business Days after Lender's receipt of the second notice shall be deemed
to constitute Lender's approval thereof.
11.2.7 BLOOMBERG LEASE INFORMATION.
(a) Promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof

all materials, reports and information which is material in nature and

XII. ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
SECTION 12.1 REPRESENTATIONS. Borrower hereby represents
and warrants that except as set forth in the Phase I Environmental Assessment
Report, dated February 4, 2004, prepared by National Assessment Corporation
previously delivered to Lender (the ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS), (i) Borrower has not
engaged in or knowingly permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use
or occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in
any way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use,
generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous
Substances on, under, in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous
Substances to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in material
compliance with applicable Environmental Laws and in the course of ordinary
business operations at the Property; (ii) to the best of Borrower's knowledge,
Bloomberg, other occupant or user of the Property, nor any other person, has
engaged in or permitted any operations or activities upon, or any use or
occupancy of the Property, or any portion thereof, for the purpose of or in any
material way involving the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use,
generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping or disposal of any Hazardous
Substances on, in or about the Property, or transported any Hazardous Substances
to, from or across the Property, except in all cases in material compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws and in the course of ordinary business operations
at the Property; (iii) to the best of Borrower's knowledge, no Hazardous
Substances are presently constructed, deposited, stored, or otherwise located
on, under, in or about the Property except in material compliance with
applicable Environmental Laws; (iv) to the best of Borrower's knowledge, no
Hazardous Substances have migrated from the Property upon or beneath other
properties which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability
for Borrower; and (v) to Borrower's knowledge, no Hazardous Substances have
migrated or threaten to migrate from other properties upon, about or beneath the
Property which would reasonably be expected to result in material liability for
Borrower.
SECTION 12.2 COVENANTS. COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL
LAWS. Subject to Borrower's right to contest under Section 7.3, Borrower
covenants and agrees with Lender that Borrower shall comply, in all material
respects, with all applicable Environmental Laws during the term of the Loan. If
at any time during the continuance of the Lien of the Security Instrument or
this Agreement, a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property
requires remedial action to correct the presence of Hazardous Materials in or on
the Property (an ENVIRONMENTAL EVENT), Borrower shall deliver prompt notice of
the occurrence of such Environmental Event to Lender. Within
thirty (30) days after Borrower has knowledge of the occurrence of an
Environmental Event, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Officer's Certificate
(an ENVIRONMENTAL CERTIFICATE) explaining the Environmental Event in reasonable
detail and setting forth the proposed remedial action, if any. Borrower shall
promptly provide Lender with copies of all notices which allege or identify any
actual or potential violation or noncompliance received by or prepared by or for
Borrower in connection with any Environmental Law. For purposes of this
paragraph, the term "notice" shall mean any written summons which could
reasonably be excepted to give rise to any environmental liability to Borrower
in excess of $10,000, citation, directive, order, claim, pleading, letter,
application, filing, report, findings, declarations or other written materials
pertinent to compliance of the Property and Borrower with applicable
Environmental Laws. If the Security Instrument is foreclosed, Borrower shall
deliver the Property in material compliance with all applicable Environmental
Laws.
SECTION 12.3 ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS. Upon the occurrence
of an Environmental Event or during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Lender shall have the right to have its consultants perform a comprehensive
environmental audit of the Property. Such audit shall be conducted by an
Environmental Consultant chosen by Borrower (so long as such consultant is
reasonably acceptable to Lender) and may include a visual survey, a record
review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of hazardous or toxic
waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the Property, an asbestos survey
of the Property, which may include random sampling of the improvements and air
quality testing, and such further site assessments as reasonably recommended by
such Environmental Consultant as a result of such audit and which Lender may
reasonably require due to the results obtained from the foregoing. Borrower
grants Lender, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter the
Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances and subject to the
rights of Bloomberg under the Bloomberg Lease, if any, for the purposes of
performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies shall be due and
payable by Borrower to Lender within five (5) Business Days of demand and shall
be secured by the Lien of the Security Instrument. Lender shall not unreasonably
interfere with, and Lender shall direct the Environmental Consultant to use its
commercially reasonable efforts not to hinder, Borrower's or Bloomberg's, other
occupant's or Manager's operations upon the Property when conducting such audit,
sampling or inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified in and
pursuant to this Section 12.3, Lender shall not be deemed to be exercising any
control over the operations of Borrower or the handling of any environmental
matter or hazardous wastes or substances of Borrower for purposes of incurring
or being subject to liability therefor.
SECTION 12.4 ENVIRONMENTAL INDEMNIFICATION. Borrower
shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified
Parties from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of
action, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses) and any and all claims, suits and judgments which any Indemnified
Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim
relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental
Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of
any Hazardous Substances affecting the Property; and (d) the presence at, in, on
or
under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or
from, the Property of any Hazardous Substances, whether or not such condition
was known or unknown to Borrower; provided that, in each case, Borrower shall be
relieved of its obligation under this subsection if any of the matters referred
to in clauses (a) through (d) above did not occur (and were not discovered)
prior to (1) the foreclosure of the Security Instrument, (2) the delivery by
Borrower to Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect
to the Property, (3) Lender's or its designee's taking possession and control of
the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder or (4) the
satisfaction in full of the Obligations and the discharge of the Indebtedness.
If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon
written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following
Lender's notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be
entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower's expense, with counsel
reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own
expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such
participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such
defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at
Borrower's expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or
potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would
make such separate representation advisable. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for
damage or loss resulting from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
SECTION 12.5 RECOURSE NATURE OF CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATIONS.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, the indemnification provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully
recourse to Borrower and shall be independent of, and shall survive for a period
of five (5) years after the first to occur of: (i) the discharge of the
Indebtedness, the release of the Lien created by the Security Instrument, and/or
(ii) the conveyance of title to the Property to Lender or any purchaser or
designee in connection with a foreclosure of the Security Instrument or
conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
XIII. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED
XIV. SECURITIZATION AND PARTICIPATION
SECTION 14.1 SALE OF NOTE AND SECURITIZATION. At the
request of Lender and, to the extent not already required to be provided by
Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall, at Borrower's sole cost and
expense, use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which may be
reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection
with the sale of the Notes or participation therein as part of any
securitization (including all in any series of securitizations of any substitute
notes such sale and/or securitization, the SECURITIZATION) of rated single or
multi-class securities (the SECURITIES) secured by or evidencing ownership
interests in the Notes and this Agreement (all such sales and/or
securitizations, including, without limitation where a "REMIC" election is made,
the SECURITIZATION), including using reasonable efforts to do (or cause to be
done) the following (but Borrower shall not in any event be required to incur,
suffer
or accept (except to a de minimis extent)) any lesser rights or greater
obligations than as currently set forth in the Loan Documents (except, after an
event of Default any increase in the weighted average interest rate of the Notes
that may result after certain prepayments of the Loan have been made and applied
in accordance with the terms hereof). Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Loan Documents, the Loan shall at all times be serviced by one servicer;
14.1.1 PROVIDED INFORMATION. (i) Provide, at
Borrower's sole cost and expense, such non-confidential financial and other
information (but not projections) with respect to the Property and Borrower and
Manager to the extent such information is reasonably available to Borrower or
Manager, (ii) provide, at Borrower's sole expense, business plans (but not
projections) and budgets relating to the Property, to the extent prepared by the
Borrower or Manager and (iii) cooperate with the holder of the Note (and its
representatives) in obtaining, at the sole expense of Borrower, such site
inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports,
engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as
may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or reasonably requested by
the Rating Agencies (all information provided pursuant to this Section 14.1.1
together with all other information heretofore provided to Lender in connection
with the Loan, as such may be updated, at Borrower's request, in connection with
a Securitization, or hereafter provided to Lender in connection with the Loan or
a Securitization, being herein collectively called the PROVIDED INFORMATION);
14.1.2 UPDATES TO OPINIONS OF COUNSEL. Use
reasonable efforts to cause to be rendered, at Borrower's sole expense, such
customary updates or customary modifications to the Opinions of Counsel
delivered at the closing of the Loan as may be reasonably requested by Lender or
the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization. Borrower's failure to
use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered the opinion updates
or modifications required hereby within twenty (20) Business Days after written
request therefor shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder. To the extent
any of the foregoing Opinions of Counsel were required to be delivered in
connection with the closing of the Loan, any update thereof shall be without
cost to Borrower. Any such Opinions of Counsel that Borrower is reasonably
required to cause to be delivered in connection with a Securitization other than
those delivered at the original Loan closing, shall be delivered at Borrower's
expense (it being agreed that Borrower shall not be obligated to deliver an
Opinion of Counsel with respect to "10b-5", "true sale", "no fraudulent
conveyance" and "REMIC" matters); and
14.1.3 MODIFICATIONS TO LOAN DOCUMENTS. Without
cost to the Borrower (except for Borrower's counsel and administrative costs),
execute such amendments to the Security Instrument and Loan Documents as may be
reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies in order to achieve the
required rating or to effect the Securitization (including, without limitation,
modifying the Payment Date to any of the first ten days of a calendar month) and
the Interest Period, as defined in the Note, to a date other than as originally
set forth in the Note), provided, however, that nothing contained in this
Section 14.1.3 shall result in any economic or other material adverse change in
the transaction contemplated by the Security Instrument or the Loan
Documents (unless Borrower is made whole by the holder of the Note), or result
in any operational changes that are unduly burdensome to the Property or
Borrower.
SECTION 14.2 COOPERATION WITH RATING AGENCIES. Borrower
shall, at its sole expense, (i) at Lender's request, meet with representatives
of such Rating Agencies at reasonable times to discuss the business and
operations of the Property, and (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of
the Rating Agencies in connection with the Property.
SECTION 14.3 SECURITIZATION FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.
Borrower acknowledges that all such financial information delivered by Borrower
to Lender pursuant to Article XI may, at Lender's option, be delivered to the
Rating Agencies.
SECTION 14.4 SECURITIZATION INDEMNIFICATION.
14.4.1 DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS. Borrower understands
that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents
in connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus or private

revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request and subject to Section
14.1.4, Borrower will reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Note in
updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure
Document by providing all current information in Borrower's possession
pertaining to Borrower and the Property reasonably requested by Lender.
14.4.2 INDEMNIFICATION CERTIFICATE. In connection
with each of (x) a preliminary and a private placement memorandum, or (y) a
preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable, Borrower agrees to provide, at
Lender's reasonable request, an indemnification certificate:
(a) certifying that Borrower has carefully
examined those portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as
applicable, reasonably designated in writing by Lender for Borrower's
review pertaining to Borrower, the Property, the Loan and/or the
Provided Information, and insofar as such sections or portions thereof
specifically pertain to Borrower, the Property, the Provided
Information or the Loan, (the RELEVANT PORTIONS), the Relevant Portions
do not (except to the extent specified by Borrower if Borrower does not
agree with the statements therein), as of the date of such certificate,
to Borrower's actual knowledge, contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to
make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading; and
(b) indemnifying Lender and the Affiliates of
Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. (collectively, DBS) that have prepared
and/or filed the Disclosure Document relating to the Securitization,
each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the
Disclosure Document and each person or entity who controls DBS within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the DBS GROUP), and DBS, together with the
DBS Group, each of their respective directors and each person who
controls DBS or the DBS Group, within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the
UNDERWRITER GROUP) for any actual, out-of-pocket losses, third party
claims, damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other
consequential damages) or liabilities arising out of third party claims
(the LIABILITIES) to which any member of the Underwriter Group may
become subject to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
Relevant Portions and in the Provided Information or arise out of or
are based upon the omission by Borrower to state therein a material
fact required to be stated in the Relevant Portions in order to make
the statements in the Relevant Portions or in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that
(x) Borrower's obligation to indemnify in respect of any information
contained in a preliminary or final registration statement, private
placement memorandum or preliminary or final prospectus that is derived
in part from information provided by Borrower and in part from
information provided by others unrelated to or not employed by Borrower
shall be limited to any untrue statement or omission of material fact
therein known to Borrower that results directly from an error in any
information provided (or which should have been provided as required by
Section 14.4.2(a) hereof) by Borrower which Borrower has been given the
reasonable opportunity to examine and reasonably and promptly approve
and (y) Borrower shall have no responsibility for the failure of any
member of the Underwriter Group to accurately transcribe written
information supplied by Borrower or to include any portions of the
Provided Information).
(c) Borrower's liability under clauses (a) and
(b) above shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or based upon
any such untrue statement or omission by Borrower made therein in
reliance upon and in conformity with information delivered to Lender
and prepared by Borrower, Manager, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any
such Person in connection with the preparation of those portions of the
registration statement, memorandum or prospectus pertaining to
Borrower, the Property or the Loan, including financial statements of
Borrower and operating statements with respect to the Property. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower
may otherwise have.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified
party under this Article XIV 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 Article XIV,
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
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from
the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Article XIV
of its assumption of such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be
liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; 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 in conflict with 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 or
parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying
party shall not be liable for the expenses of separate counsel unless
an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be
legal defenses available to it that are different from or in conflict
with those available to another indemnified party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in
this Article XIV is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
indemnified party in respect of any actual, out-of-pocket losses,
claims, damages or liabilities relating to third party claims (or
action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be
indemnifiable under this Article XIV, the indemnifying party shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a
result of such actual, out of pocket losses, third party claims,
damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) (but excluding
damages for loss profits, diminution in value of the Property and
consequential damages); 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 for Liabilities
arising therefrom 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 DBS Group's and Borrower's relative knowledge and
access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim
was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement
or omission; (iii) the limited responsibilities and obligations of
Borrower as specified herein; and (iv) any other equitable
considerations appropriate in the circumstances.
The Borrower's failure to deliver the Indemnification
Certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days of Lender's request therefor,
shall be a material Event of
Default under this Agreement, entitling Lender to exercise all of its rights and
remedies permitted under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 14.5 CERTAIN INDEMNIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan
Document, the indemnification provided in Article XIV shall be fully recourse to
Borrower but shall be limited to Borrower's interest in the Property (and any
Proceeds and Net Operating Income relating thereto).
SECTION 14.6 RETENTION OF SERVICER. Lender reserves the
right, at Lender's sole cost and expense, to retain the Servicer. Borrower shall
pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third
party fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys
fees and disbursements) solely in connection with a prepayment, release of the
Property, or assumption of the Loan as part of Borrower's monthly Debt Service
payment next due.

Article XV, Borrower shall not be responsible or liable for any additional
taxes, reserves, adjustments or other costs and expenses that are related to, or
arise as a result of, any transfer of the Loan or any interest or participation

under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event that more than
one (1) party comprises Lender, Lender shall designate one party to act on the
behalf of all parties comprising Lender in providing approvals and all other
necessary consents under the Loan Documents and on whose statements Borrower may
rely.
SECTION 15.5 DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Any assignee
pursuant to this Article XV may, in connection with any assignment or
participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Article
XV, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant,
any information relating to Borrower furnished to such assignee by or on behalf
of Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee

XVI. RESERVE ACCOUNTS
SECTION 16.1 TAX RESERVE ACCOUNT. On the Closing Date,
Borrower shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account as additional collateral for
the Loan an amount equal to $382,217, such amount to be increased by Borrower,
within two (2) Business Days of Borrower receiving notice from Bloomberg that
the final Rent Commencement Date (as such term is defined in the Bloomberg
Lease) has been delayed, in amount equal to Real Estate Taxes and Other Charges
that would be due and payable by Borrower during such delayed period by Borrower
depositing such amount into the Tax Reserve Account (the INITIAL TAX RESERVE
AMOUNT). From and after the final Rent Commencement Date and in accordance with
the time periods and subject to the terms set forth in Section 3.1, Borrower
shall deposit into the Tax Reserve Account an amount equal to (a) one-twelfth of
the annual Real Estate Taxes that Lender reasonably estimates will be payable
during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with
Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Real Estate Taxes at least thirty (30)
days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the
non-payment thereof and (b) one-twelfth of the annual Other Charges that Lender
reasonably estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months
(said monthly amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the MONTHLY TAX
RESERVE AMOUNT, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the Tax Reserve
Account being the TAX RESERVE AMOUNT). The Monthly Tax Reserve Amount is subject
to adjustment by Lender in Lender's reasonable discretion upon notice to
Borrower. In the event that, and for so long as, Bloomberg is not paying all
Real Estate Taxes and Other Charges under the Bloomberg Lease, then the Monthly
Tax Reserve Amount shall be paid by Borrower to Lender on each Payment Date,
pursuant to Section 3.1.7(a)(ii). Lender will apply the Monthly Tax Reserve
Amount (or, prior to the final Rent Commencement Date, a portion of the Initial
Tax Reserve Amount) to payments of Real Estate Taxes and Other Charges required
to be made by Borrower pursuant to Article VII and under the Security
Instrument, subject to Borrower's right to contest Real Estate Taxes in
accordance with Section 7.3. In making any payment relating to the Tax Reserve
Account, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured
from the appropriate public office, without inquiry into the accuracy of such
xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,
forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of funds in the
Tax Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for Real Estate Taxes and Other
Charges pursuant to Article VII, Lender shall transfer such excess funds to the
Collection Account. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax
Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to pay Real Estate Taxes and
Other Charges by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such
determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the
amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency
at least thirty (30) days prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or
expenses for the non-payment of the Real Estate Taxes. Upon payment of the Real
Estate Taxes, Lender shall reassess the amount necessary to be deposited in the
Tax Reserve Account for the succeeding period, which calculation shall take into
account any excess amounts remaining in the Tax Reserve Account. Borrower agrees
to deposit any required increases in the Monthly Tax Reserve Amount within five
(5) Business Days after receipt of written notice thereof from Lender.
SECTION 16.2 INSURANCE RESERVE ACCOUNT. In accordance
with the time periods and subject to the terms set forth in Section 3.1,
Borrower shall deposit into the Insurance Reserve Account an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the insurance premiums that Lender reasonably estimates, based on
the most recent xxxx, will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded
by the insurance policies upon the expiration thereof, or the portion of the
premium allocated to the Property with respect to any blanket insurance policy
obtained pursuant to Section 6.1.13, in order to accumulate with Lender
sufficient funds to pay all such insurance premiums at least thirty (30) days
prior to the expiration of the policies required to be maintained by Borrower
pursuant to the terms hereof (said monthly amounts hereinafter called the
MONTHLY INSURANCE RESERVE AMOUNT, and the aggregate amount of funds held in the
Insurance Reserve Account being the INSURANCE RESERVE AMOUNT). The Monthly
Insurance Reserve Amount is subject to adjustment by Lender in Lender's
reasonable discretion upon notice to Borrower. In the event that, and for so
long as, Bloomberg is not paying all insurance premiums provided for under the
Bloomberg Lease, then, the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount shall be paid by
Borrower to Lender on each Payment Date, pursuant to Section 3.1.7(ii). Lender
will apply the Monthly Insurance Reserve Amount to payments of insurance
premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Article V and Article VI
and under the Security Instrument. In making any payment relating to the
Insurance Reserve Account, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or
estimate procured from the insurer or agent, without inquiry into the accuracy
of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the validity thereof. If the amount
of funds in the Insurance Reserve Account shall exceed the amounts due for
insurance premiums pursuant to Article V and Article VI, Lender shall transfer
such excess to the Collection Account. If at any time Lender reasonably
determines that the Insurance Reserve Amount is not or will not be sufficient to
pay insurance premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify
Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments
to Lender by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make
up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies.
Upon payment of the such insurance premiums, Lender shall reassess the amount
necessary to be deposited in the Insurance Reserve Account for the succeeding
period, which calculation shall take into account any excess amounts remaining
in the Insurance Reserve Account. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing, Lender agrees to reimburse to Borrower from funds on deposit in
the Insurance Reserve Account the amount of any insurance premium allocable to
the Property that was paid under a blanket insurance policy. Prior to any such
disbursement, Borrower will provide Lender with an Officer's Certificate
together with supporting documentation reasonably acceptable to Lender
evidencing such payment.
SECTION 16.3 STRUCTURAL RESERVE ACCOUNT.
(a) In the event that, and for so long as,
Bloomberg is not paying for all capital improvements at the Property
pursuant to the Bloomberg Lease, then, in accordance with the time
periods set forth in Section 3.1, Borrower shall deposit into the
Structural Reserve Account an amount equal to $11,312.35 (the MONTHLY
STRUCTURAL RESERVE AMOUNT and together with all amounts deposited in
the Structural Reserve Account, the STRUCTURAL RESERVE AMOUNT) and held
by the Cash Management Bank for the benefit of Lender as additional
security for the Loan in accordance with Section 3.1.7(iv) and the
Account Agreement. In connection with any Alteration, other than in
connection with tenant improvement work, such funds shall be disbursed
to Borrower from the Alterations Reserve Account in accordance with the
terms of this Section for disbursements from the Structural Reserve
Account.
(b) Lender shall make disbursements from the
Structural Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the cost of
capital improvements to the Property in accordance with and in the
manner provided in this Section 16.3. Lender shall, within fifteen (15)
Business Days of a written request from Borrower and satisfaction of
the requirements set forth in this Section 16.3 disburse to Borrower
amounts from the Structural Reserve Account necessary to pay for the
actual costs of completed capital improvement work. In no event shall
Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Structural Reserve
Account if a an Event of Default exists.
Each request for disbursement from the Structural Reserve
Account shall be in a form reasonably specified or reasonably approved by Lender
and be submitted together with an Officer's Certificate specifying the specific
items for which the disbursement is requested, certifying that such item
qualifies as capital improvement work, the estimated cost for the applicable
Alteration through completion and the cost of each item purchased. Each request
for disbursement shall be delivered at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to
the date of the requested disbursement and shall include copies of invoices for
all costs incurred and each request shall include evidence reasonably
satisfactory to Lender (i) that the work has been completed in a workmanlike
manner and (ii) of payment of all such amounts or evidence that such amounts
will be paid by such disbursement. Borrower shall not make a request for
disbursement from the Structural Reserve Account more frequently than once in
any calendar month and the total amount of any request shall not be less than
$10,000 (except in the case of the final request for disbursement).
SECTION 16.4 ADDITIONAL DEBT SERVICE RESERVE ACCOUNT. On
the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit into the Additional Debt Service
Reserve Account as additional collateral for the Loan an amount equal to
$11,169,694, such amount to be increased by Borrower, within two (2) Business
Days of Borrower receiving notice from Bloomberg that the final Rent
Commencement Date (as such term is defined in the Bloomberg Lease) has been
delayed, in amount equal to the Debt Service that would be due and payable
during such delayed period by Borrower depositing such amount into the
Additional Debt Service Reserve Account. Lender shall transfer a portion of the
funds in the Additional Debt Service Reserve Account on a monthly basis
sufficient to pay Debt Service (to the extent of sufficient funds on deposit
therein) on each Payment Date until the final Rent Commencement Date has
occurred. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the
right to apply any amounts then remaining in the Additional Debt Service Reserve
Account to repay the Indebtedness or any other amounts due hereunder or under
the other Loan Documents in the order of priority and manner set forth in
Section 11 of the Security Instrument.
SECTION 16.5 CASH TRAP RESERVE ACCOUNT. During a Cash
Trap Period, all Excess Cash Flow shall be transferred from the Holding Account
into the Cash Trap Reserve Account (or, subject to the terms of Section 3.1.7(b)
hereof, from the applicable Sub-account) and shall be retained by Lender as
additional security for the Loan and shall be applied or disbursed as
hereinafter provided. From and after the occurrence and continuation of an Event
of Default, Lender shall have the right to apply any amounts then remaining in
the Cash Trap Reserve Account to repay the Loan or any other amounts due
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in such order, manner and amount as
Lender shall determine in its sole discretion. Provided no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall instruct the Cash Management
Bank to release to Borrower any amounts remaining in the Cash Trap Reserve
Account promptly after the Cash Trap Period is no longer continuing (as
determined by Lender in accordance with the subsequent terms of this Section);
provided, notwithstanding the
foregoing, any amounts then remaining in the Cash Trap Reserve Account on the
Anticipated Repayment Date shall be applied by Lender to reduce the Principal
Amount of the Loan and all other Obligations then outstanding, including,
without limitation, payment of the Liquidated Damages Amount to the extent any
such amounts are applied prior to the expiration of the Prepayment Lockout
Period. All determinations as to whether (i) a Low DSCR Period has occurred and
is continuing shall be made by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion and
based on the financial information delivered by Borrower pursuant to Section
11.2 hereof and/or any other information available to Lender pursuant to the
terms of the Loan Documents and (ii) a Casualty Restoration Period has occurred
and is continuing shall be made by Lender in its sole but reasonable discretion
and based on information required to be delivered by Borrower pursuant to
Section 5.1.7 hereof (or any other information available to Lender).

during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, all or
any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies
available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement 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 Lender at any time
and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Indebtedness
shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have
commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the
enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents
with respect to the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be
cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly,
successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other
rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or
as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of
Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any one action or
election of remedies law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights,
remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force
and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the
Property and the Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or
otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or the
Indebtedness has been paid in full.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, with respect to the Account
Collateral, the Lender may:
(i) without notice to Borrower, except
as required by law, and at any time or from time to time,
charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the
Account Collateral against the Obligations, Operating Expenses
and/or capital expenditures for the Property or any part
thereof;
(ii) in Lender's sole discretion, at any
time and from time to time, exercise any and all rights and
remedies available to it under this Agreement, and/or as a
secured party under the UCC;
(iii) demand, collect, take possession of
or receipt for, settle, compromise, adjust, xxx for, foreclose
or realize upon the Account Collateral (or any portion
thereof) as Lender may determine in its sole discretion; and
(iv) take all other actions provided in,
or contemplated by, this Agreement.
(c) With respect to Borrower, the Account
Collateral, and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other
Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the
Property for the satisfaction of any of the Indebtedness, and Lender
may seek satisfaction out of the Property or any part thereof, in its
absolute discretion in respect of the Indebtedness. In addition, Lender
shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose this
Agreement and the Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts
secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument then due and
payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including,
without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event
Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of
one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may
foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover such
delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate
less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender
may foreclose this Agreement and the Security Instrument to recover so
much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and
such other sums secured by this Agreement or the Security Instrument as
Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the
Property shall remain subject to this Agreement and the Security
Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by this Agreement and the
Security Instrument and not previously recovered.
(d) Notwithstanding any term set forth herein or
in any of the other Loan Documents, (i) Lender covenants not to
complete a foreclosure or exercise any remedies with respect to with
respect to Office Unit 2 unless Borrower has defaulted in any of its
obligations under Section 15 and/or Section 13(h) (in a manner that
relates to Office Unit 2) of the Security Instrument (an
OFFICE UNIT 2 DEFAULT) and (ii) subject to the terms of Section 15(a)
of the Security Instrument, prior to the occurrence and continuance of
an Office Unit 2 Default, Borrower may collect and use all Rent payable
with respect to Office Unit 2 without having to deposit (or causing to
be deposited) any such Rent derived therefrom that is not attributable
to the Bloomberg Lease into the Collection Account. Additionally,
except with respect to (i) Borrower's strict compliance with the
covenants imposed upon Borrower pursuant to the terms of Section 13(h)
(in a manner that relates to Office Unit 2) and Section 15 of the
Security Instrument and (ii) Borrower's grant of the lien and security
interest set forth herein to Lender in all its right, title and
interest in and to the Property (including, without limitation, in and
to Office Unit 2), Lender agrees that Borrower shall not be obligated
to comply with any of the covenants imposed by the terms of the Loan
Documents solely as such covenants relate to Office Unit 2 except that
Borrower shall be required to comply with such covenants for any
portion of Office Unit 2 that Borrower leases to Tenant pursuant to the
terms of the Bloomberg Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, any reference
to the Property in the representations that Borrower makes as of the
date hereof shall be deemed to be a reference only to Office Unit 1
(except to the extent such representations relate to (i) Borrower's
ownership interests in Office Unit 2 and/or (ii) Lender's liens and
security interests in Office Unit 2).
SECTION 17.3 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; WAIVERS. The rights,
powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement and the Security Instrument
shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which
Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender's rights, powers
and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and
in such order as Lender may determine in Lender's sole discretion. No delay or
omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of
Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a
waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or
Event of Default with respect to Borrower or any Guarantor shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by
Borrower or any Guarantor or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent
thereon.
SECTION 17.4 COSTS OF COLLECTION. In the event that after
an Event of Default: (i) the Note or any of the Loan Documents is placed in the
hands of an attorney for collection or enforcement or is collected or enforced
through any legal proceeding; (ii) an attorney is retained to represent Lender
in any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or other proceedings affecting
creditors' rights and involving a claim under this Note or any of the Loan
Documents; or (iii) an attorney is retained to protect or enforce the lien or
any of the terms of this Agreement, the Security Instrument or any of the Loan
Documents; then Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable attorney's fees,
costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, including costs of
appeal, together with interest on any judgment obtained by Lender in respect of
such fees, costs and expenses at the Default Rate.

use, non-use or condition of the Property or Appurtenances thereto,
including claims or penalties arising from violation of any Legal
Requirement or Insurance Requirement, as well as any claim based on any
patent or latent defect, whether or not discoverable by Lender, any
claim the insurance as to which is inadequate, and any Environmental
Claim, (4) any Default under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any failure on the part of Borrower to perform or comply
with any of the terms of any Lease the Condominium Declaration or the
By-Laws within the applicable notice or grace periods, (5) any
performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials
or other property in respect of the Property or any part thereof, (6)
any negligence or tortious act or omission on the part of Borrower or
any of its agents, contractors, servants, employees, sublessees,
licensees or invitees, (7) any contest referred to in Section 7.3
hereof, (8) any obligation or undertaking relating to the performance
or discharge of any of the terms, covenants and conditions of the
landlord contained in the Bloomberg Lease, the By-Laws or the
Condominium Declaration, or (9) the presence at, in or under the
Property or the Improvements of any Hazardous Substances in violation
of any Environmental Law. Any amounts the Indemnified Parties are
legally entitled to receive under this Section 19.12(b) which are not
paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after written demand therefor by
the Indemnified Parties or Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail
the amount of such demand and the basis therefor, shall bear interest
from the date of demand at the Default Rate, and shall, together with
such interest, be part of the Indebtedness and secured by the Security
Instrument. In case any action, suit or proceeding is brought against
the Indemnified Parties by reason of any such occurrence, the
Indemnified Parties shall provide prompt notice of any such action,
suit or proceeding and Borrower shall, at Borrower's expense resist and
defend such action, suit or proceeding or will cause the same to be
resisted and defended by counsel at Borrower's reasonable expense for
the insurer of the liability or by counsel designated by Borrower
(unless reasonably disapproved by Lender promptly after Lender has been
notified of such counsel); provided, however, that nothing herein shall
compromise the right of Lender (or any Indemnified Party) to appoint
its own counsel at Borrower's expense for its defense with respect to
any action which in its reasonable opinion presents a conflict or
potential conflict between Lender and Borrower that would make such
separate representation advisable; provided further that if Lender
shall have appointed separate counsel pursuant to the foregoing,
Borrower shall not be responsible for the expense of additional
separate counsel of any Indemnified Party unless in the reasonable
opinion of Lender a conflict or potential conflict exists between such
Indemnified Party and Lender. So long as Borrower is resisting and
defending such action, suit or proceeding as provided above in a
prudent and commercially reasonable manner, Lender and the Indemnified
Parties shall not be entitled to settle such action, suit or proceeding
without Borrower's consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, and claim the benefit of this Section 19.12(b) with respect to
such action, suit or proceeding and Lender agrees that it will not
settle any such action, suit or proceeding without the consent of
Borrower;
provided, however, that if Borrower is not diligently defending such
action, suit or proceeding in a prudent and commercially reasonable
manner as provided above, and Lender has provided Borrower with thirty
(30) days' prior written notice, or shorter period if mandated by the
requirements of applicable law, and opportunity to correct such
determination, Lender may settle such action, suit or proceeding and
claim the benefit of this Section 19.12(b) with respect to settlement
of such action, suit or proceeding. Any Indemnified Party will give
Borrower prompt notice after such Indemnified Party obtains actual
knowledge of any potential claim by such Indemnified Party for
indemnification hereunder.
SECTION 19.13 EXHIBITS AND SCHEDULES INCORPORATED. The
Exhibits and Schedules 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 19.14 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Any
assignee of Lender's interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other
Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims
or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise
have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim
or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower or 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 19.15 LIABILITY OF ASSIGNEES OF LENDER. No
assignee of Lender shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly,
under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any
amendment or amendments hereto made at any time or times, heretofore or
hereafter, any different than the liability of Lender hereunder. In addition, no
assignee shall have at any time or times hereafter any personal liability,
directly or indirectly, under or in connection with or secured by any agreement,
lease, instrument, encumbrance, claim or right affecting or relating to the
Property or to which the Property is now or hereafter subject any different than
the liability of Lender hereunder. The limitation of liability provided in this
Section 19.15 is (i) in addition to, and not in limitation of, any limitation of
liability applicable to the assignee provided by law or by any other contract,
agreement or instrument, and (ii) shall not apply to any assignee's gross
negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 19.16 NO JOINT VENTURE OR PARTNERSHIP; NO THIRD
PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the
relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be
solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is
intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or
joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant
Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee,
beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained
in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer
upon anyone other than Lender or Borrower any right to insist upon or
to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations
contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of
Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively
for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to
require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms
or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in
the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other
Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of
such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or
in part by Lender if, in Lender's sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.
SECTION 19.17 PUBLICITY. All news releases, publicity or
advertising by Borrower, Lender or their Affiliates through any media intended
to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing
evidenced by the Loan Documents, shall be subject to the reasonable prior
written approval of Lender and Borrower.
SECTION 19.18 WAIVER OF MARSHALLING OF ASSETS. To the
fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and
assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower,
Borrower's members and others with interests in Borrower and of the Property,
and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling
of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the
administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to
defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale
of the Property for the collection of the Indebtedness without any prior or
different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the
Indebtedness out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every
other claimant whatsoever.
SECTION 19.19 WAIVER OF COUNTERCLAIM AND OTHER ACTIONS.
Borrower hereby expressly and unconditionally waives, in connection with any
suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement, the Note, the
Security Instrument or any Loan Document, any and every right it may have to (i)
interpose any counterclaim therein (other than a counterclaim which can only be
asserted in the suit, action or proceeding brought by Lender on this Agreement,
the Note, the Security Instrument or any Loan Document and cannot be maintained
in a separate action) and (ii) have any such suit, action or proceeding
consolidated with any other or separate suit, action or proceeding.
SECTION 19.20 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS;
RELIANCE. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement
and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall
control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by counsel in
connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents
and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted
same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely
solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without
relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of
Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be
subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies
available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or
instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any
parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may
acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise
any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to
Lender's exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that
Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate
transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or their Affiliates.
SECTION 19.21 PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement and the
other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and
thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all
prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are
superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms,
conditions and provisions of any and all such prior agreements do not survive
execution of this Agreement.
SECTION 19.22 USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION. The following
notification is provided to Borrower pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot
Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section 5318: IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR
OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and
money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to
obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or entity
that opens an account, including any deposit account, treasury management
account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial services product.
What this means for Borrower: When Borrower opens an account, if Borrower is an
individual, the Administrative Agent will ask for Borrower's name, taxpayer
identification number, residential address, date of birth, and other information
that will allow Lender to identify Borrower, and, if Borrower is not an
individual, Lender will ask for Borrower's name, taxpayer identification number,
business address, and other information that will allow Lender to identify
Borrower. Lender may also ask, if Borrower is an individual, to see Borrower's
driver's license or other identifying documents, and, if Borrower is not an
individual, to see Borrower's legal organizational documents or other
identifying documents.
SECTION 19.23 TAX TREATMENT. Lender (and each employee,
representative or other agent of Lender) may disclose to any and all Persons,
without limitation of any kind, the "tax treatment" and "tax structure" (in each
case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of the
transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including
opinions or other tax analyses) that are or have been provided to Lender
relating to such tax treatment or tax structure, other than information or
materials for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply
with applicable securities laws so long as disclosure is not otherwise limited.
SECTION 19.24 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed
in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of
which shall constitute one document.
