2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year comprised of twelve (12) months of thirty (30) days each, except that interest due and payable for a period of less than a full month shall be calculated by multiplying the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year.
2.2.3 Payments Generally. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the date of Loan proceeds disbursement up to but not including February 11, 2006, and (b) on March 11, 2006 and each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which shall be applied to interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan for the prior payment period at the Interest Rate.
2.2.4 Payments after Anticipated Repayment Date. On each Payment Date after the Anticipated Repayment Date up to but not including the Maturity Date, in addition to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, Borrower shall pay to Lender any Excess Cash Flow for the calendar month preceding such Payment Date. Each such payment of Excess Cash Flow, together with any remaining amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount paid on such date after the payment of interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan at the Interest Rate, shall be applied (i) first, to the prepayment of outstanding principal until the Loan has been paid in full, and (ii) next, to the payment of the difference, if any, between (y) the sum of (i) interest accrued and unpaid on the principal amount of the Loan at the Hyper-Am Rate and (ii) interest on such accrued and unpaid interest at the Hyper-Am Rate and (z) the interest paid at the Interest Rate on such Payment Date.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by the Mortgage.

2.2.8 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.

Section 2.3. Prepayments.

21
whole, but not in part, by paying, together with the amount to be prepaid, (i) interest accrued and unpaid on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid to and including the date of prepayment, (ii) unless prepayment is tendered on a Payment Date, an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued on the amount being prepaid after the date of prepayment through and including the next Payment Date had the prepayment not been made (which amount shall constitute additional consideration for the prepayment), (iii) all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) if prepayment occurs prior to the Anticipated Repayment Payment Date which is three months prior to the Maturity Date, a prepayment consideration (the “Prepayment Consideration”) equal to the greater of (A) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan being prepaid or (B) the excess, if any, of (1) the sum of the present values of all then-scheduled payments of principal and interest under this Agreement including, but not limited to, principal and interest on the Anticipated Repayment Maturity Date (with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of prepayment at the rate which, when compounded monthly, is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate), over (2) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.
(b) On the Payment Date that is three (3) months prior to the Anticipated Repayment Date, and on each day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt, in whole or in part (including a Hyper-Am Prepayment), without payment of any Prepayment Consideration; provided, however, if such prepayment (other than a Hyper-Am Prepayment) is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, such prepayment shall include interest that would have accrued on such prepayment through and including the day immediately preceding the next Payment Date. Except in connection with a Hyper-Am Prepayment, Borrower’s right to prepay any portion of the principal balance of the Loan shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the amount to be prepaid and the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the amount to be prepaid as set forth in such notice on the projected date set forth in such notice or any day following such projected date occurring in the same calendar month as such projected date.

(a) On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower or Anchor Tenant pursuant to this Agreement for the restoration of the Property, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.3.2. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.
(b) On the date on which Borrower tenders a Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment pursuant to Section 6.4(e) below, such tender shall include (a) all accrued and unpaid interest and the principal indebtedness being prepaid, including interest on the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Note through the last day of the month within which such tender occurs, and (b) any other sums due hereunder relating to the applicable Note. Except as set forth in this Section 2.3.2(b), other than following an Event of Default, no
22
Prepayment Consideration or other penalty or premium shall be due in connection with any Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.
2.3.3 Prepayments after Default. Following an Event of Default, if Borrower or anyone on Borrower’s behalf makes a tender of payment of all or any portion of the Debt at any time prior to a foreclosure sale (including a sale under the power of sale under the Mortgage), or during any redemption period after foreclosure, (i) the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of Borrower’s obligation to pay any Prepayment Consideration due under this Agreement and such payment shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include a premium equal to the Prepayment Consideration that would have been payable on the date of such tender had the Loan not been so accelerated, or (ii) if at the time of such tender a prepayment of the principal amount of the Loan would have been prohibited under this Agreement had the principal amount of the Loan not been so accelerated, the tender of payment shall constitute an evasion of such prepayment prohibition and shall, therefore, to the maximum extent permitted by law, include an amount equal to the greater of (i) 1% of the then principal amount of the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof being prepaid) and (ii) an amount equal to the excess of (A) the sum of the present values of a series of payments payable at the times and in the amounts equal to the payments of principal and interest (including, but not limited to the principal and interest payable on the Anticipated Repayment Date) which would have been scheduled to be payable after the date of such tender under this Agreement had the Loan (or the relevant portion thereof) not been accelerated, with each such payment discounted to its present value at the date of such tender at the rate which when compounded monthly is equivalent to the Prepayment Rate, over (B) the then principal amount of the Loan.
Section 2.4. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 2.5. Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of the Mortgage on the Property. If Borrower has elected to prepay the entire amount of the Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.1 and the requirements of this Section 2.5 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage.
2.5.1 Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of all principal and interest on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 2.3.1 of this Loan Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property not theretofore released.

4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or 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 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 property or assets is subject, 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 agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’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 agency or body 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. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of the Property.
4.1.5 Agreements. Except such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Encumbrances in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. To Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower is not 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 are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture,
28
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 indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, 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. The Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected lien on the Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignment of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

4.1.7 Solvency; No Bankruptcy Filing. Borrower (a) has not entered into the transaction or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower). Except as expressly disclosed to Lender in writing, no petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, or to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years, and neither Borrower, nor to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, any constituent Person in the last seven (7) years has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower nor any of its constituent Persons are 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 Borrower’s assets or property, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or such constituent Persons.
29
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. To Borrower’s knowledge, 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 misleading.

Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on the Property or the operation thereof as an office building, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements.

BORROWER COVENANTS
Section 5.1. Affirmative Covenants. From the Closing Date and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the Property (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:
5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and
35
effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. Borrower shall not commit, nor shall Borrower permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.

Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage. Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall operate, or cause the tenant to operate, any Property that is the subject of an O&M Agreement (if any) in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof in all material respects.

Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.
5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay to the appropriate taxing authority Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower escrows for Taxes pursuant to the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate any Lease which demises less than the Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure period, and Borrower has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Borrower has secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated, has executed a right under said Lease to terminate its lease upon payment of a termination fee to Borrower, and has in fact terminated its lease and paid said fee, Borrower may accept said termination.

Subject to the rights of tenants to make alterations pursuant to the terms of their respective Leases, Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the Closing Date, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or (d) any structural alteration which costs less than $50,000.00 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration or any non-structural alteration which costs less than $100,000.00 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration. If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed $350,000.00 (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower, upon Lender’s request, shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group of
43
not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations. At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the partners of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party.

Lender shall approve or disapprove any proposed Transfer governed by this Section 5.2.13(a) within thirty (30) days of Lender’s receipt of a written notice from Borrower requesting Lender’s approval, provided such notice includes all information necessary to make such decision, and further provided that such written notice from Borrower shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, A RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE.” If Lender fails to disapprove any such matter within such period, Borrower shall provide a second written notice requesting approval, which written notice shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE.” Thereafter, if Lender does not disapprove such matter within said ten (10) day period such matter shall be deemed approved.
(b) On and after the Closing Date, and provided the proposed Transfer is not requested during, and shall not occur during, a Transfer Restriction Period, Lender shall not withhold its consent to, and shall not charge an assumption fee in connection with, (1) a Transfer of up to, in the aggregate, forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct or indirect ownership interests in Borrower, or (2) a Transfer of greater than forty-nine percent (49%) of the direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower, provided that (A) such transfer is to a Qualified Entity (as defined below), and (B) Borrower shall pay all of Lender’s reasonable and customary third-party expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer and a processing fee of $5,000. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Qualified Entity” shall mean an entity (x) with a net worth of $200,000,000 or more, (y) with sufficient experience (determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion) in the ownership and management of properties similar to the Property, and (z) which owns or manages office properties containing at least 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area. If required or requested by any of the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall deliver a substantive non-consolidation opinion with respect to any party not now owning more than 49% of the ownership interests in Borrower acquiring more than 49% of the ownership interests in Borrower.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2.13 to the contrary, on or after the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, Borrower shall be permitted to Transfer the entire Property in a single transaction to one newly-formed Special Purpose Entity which shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sole Member (“Permitted Affiliate Transferee”) which shall be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion (“Permitted Affiliate
48
Transfer”), provided (1) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) the creditworthiness of Sole Member, as applicable, has not deteriorated, in the sole discretion of Lender, from the Closing Date to the date of the proposed Transfer, and (3) Borrower shall have paid all reasonable and customary third party expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) actually incurred by Lender in connection with such Transfer (but not any assumption or processing fee).
(d) Borrower, without the consent of Lender, may grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way in the ordinary course of business for access, parking, water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines and other utilities or for other similar purposes, provided that no transfer, conveyance or encumbrance shall materially impair the utility and operation of the Property or materially adversely affect the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income of the Property. If Borrower shall receive any consideration in connection with any of said described transfers or conveyances, Borrower shall have the right to use any such proceeds in connection with any alterations performed in connection therewith, or required thereby. In connection with any transfer, conveyance or encumbrance permitted above, the Lender shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence its consent to said action or to subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants upon receipt by the Lender of: (A) a copy of the instrument of transfer; and (B) an Officer’s Certificate stating with respect to any transfer described above, that such transfer does not materially impair the utility and operation of the Property or materially reduce the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income of the Property.
Section 5.3. Cash Management. (a) At the Closing, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, and thereafter, as herein provided, following the execution and delivery of any other Lease with any other replacement tenant(s) which may hereafter occupy all or any portion of the premises demised to Anchor Tenant as of the date hereof, a letter (“Tenant Direction Letter”) instructing such tenant to pay Rent directly to Lender’s servicer (or as Lender may otherwise direct from time to time). A form of such Tenant Direction Letter is attached hereto as Schedule I; Borrower shall, at any time and from time to time as requested by Lender, execute and deliver to Lender a new Tenant Direction Letter in order to reflect changes to Lender’s servicing agent and/or the Lockbox Account set forth in the form. Lender shall hold the Tenant Direction Letter(s) so delivered until such time as a Restrictive Condition occurs, in which event Lender may, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, deliver any such Tenant Direction Letters. Borrower covenants and agrees to execute and deliver to Lender a Tenant Direction Letter for each new tenant at the Property within thirty (30) days after the execution of the lease with such new tenant. Without the prior written consent of Lender, which Lender may give or withhold in its sole discretion, Borrower shall not terminate, amend, revoke or modify any Tenant Direction Letter in any manner whatsoever, nor shall Borrower permit or consent to, directly or by acquiescence, any failure or refusal of Anchor Tenant or any Replacement Tenant to pay Rent as provided pursuant to the Tenant Direction Letter (or as Lender may otherwise direct in writing from time to time). Any Rents which may be received by Borrower from Anchor Tenant, any Replacement Tenant or otherwise from the Property on or after the occurrence of any Restrictive Condition, whether or not any such Tenant Direction Letter shall have been delivered to any tenant of the Property, shall be deemed to be collateral held in trust for the benefit of Lender, shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower,
49
and shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender within one (1) Business Days following receipt thereof.
(b) Following the occurrence of a Restrictive Condition, Rents shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Lockbox Account”) established by Lender and under Lender’s sole dominion and control for such purpose. The Lockbox Account shall be interest-bearing and will, at Lender’s option and in Lender’s sole discretion, be an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. Interest, if any, accrued on the funds in the Lockbox Account shall remain in and constitute part of the Lockbox Account funds and shall be disbursed as provided for herein. Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal or direction with respect to the Lockbox Account and Lender shall have the sole right to withdraw and/or direct the disbursement of funds from such Lockbox Account. On each Payment Date following the occurrence of a Restrictive Condition, funds in the Lockbox Account shall be applied by Lender to pay debt services, taxes, insurance premiums and any required reserve amounts, if any, hereunder in such order and amount as Lender shall deem appropriate in Lender’s sole discretion provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, provided no event of default has occurred under the Anchor Tenant Lease which remains uncured, Lender will, if any only to the extent funds then in the Lockbox Account are sufficient therefore, first pay the Taxes and Insurance then due and payable, if any. Any funds remaining in the Lockbox Account following payment of any of the foregoing shall be distributed to Borrower only to the extent of operating expenses for the Property approved by Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, and after payment of such operating expenses, if any, Lender and/or Lender’s servicing agent shall have no obligation to remit all or any portion of any Excess Rent Proceeds remaining in the Lockbox Account to Borrower and Lender may, at its sole election and in its sole discretion, retain such Excess Rent Proceeds as security for Borrower’s payment and performance of its obligations under the Loan Documents.
(c) Upon the earlier to occur of repayment in full of the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof and a Cash Management Termination Event, the balance of funds, if any, on deposit with Lender and/or Lender’s servicer pursuant to this provision shall be distributed to Borrower.
(d) Borrower shall be responsible for all costs associated with the cash management arrangements, including Lender’s cost and expense, if any, for any accounts therefore.
(e) The insufficiency of funds, if any, delivered to or deposited with Lender or Lender’s servicer pursuant to these provisions shall not relieve Borrower, in whole or in part, of any of its obligations pursuant to this Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, the obligation to make payments as and when due and payable pursuant to the Loan Documents.
(f) For purposes of this Section 5.3, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:
(1) “Commitment” shall mean and refer to a fully executed written commitment for the refinancing of the entire outstanding principal balance
50
of the Loan, together with all accrued interest thereon, from an institutional lender.
(2) “Excess Rent Proceeds” shall mean, as of any date of determination thereof, the excess, if any, of (A) Rent received by Lender or its servicer for such month, over (B) all amounts due and payable by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, the monthly payment of interest and any monthly deposits to reserves required hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, if any. Excess Rent Proceeds shall be determined by Lender or its servicer as of each Payment Date.
(3) “Restrictive Condition” shall mean and refer to the occurrence of any of the following: (A) an Event of Default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (B) Borrower (i) fails to provide Lender with a Commitment on or prior to the Refinance Notification Date, or (ii) provides Lender with a Commitment on or prior to the Refinance Notification Date and the Void Commitment Date occurs, but in all events if not then in effect, a Restrictive Condition shall commence on the Maturity Anticipated Repayment Date.
(4) “Refinance Notification Date” shall mean three (3) months prior to the Maturity Anticipated Repayment Date.
(5) “Void Commitment Date” shall mean the date, if any, upon which the Commitment lapses, terminates or is otherwise withdrawn.
(6) “Cash Management Termination Event” shall mean that Lender has accepted in writing Borrower’s cure of the Event of Default which was the basis for the occurrence of the Restrictive Condition (it being understood that this provision does not, and is not intended to, create or impose any obligation on Lender’s part to accept such cure), and there shall not then exist any other Event of Default, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall there be more than two (2) Cash Management Termination Events during the term of the Loan.
ARTICLE VI

51

(ii) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit, including umbrella coverage, of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;
(iii) business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) covering rental losses or business interruption, as may be applicable, for a period of at least twelve (12) months after the date of the casualty [and containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date that the Property is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an annual amount equal to (100%) of the rents or estimated gross revenues from the operation of the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration). The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder
52
and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(viii) if any of the policies of insurance covering the risks required to be covered under subsections (i) through (vii) above contains an exclusion from coverage for acts of terrorism, Borrower shall obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in the event of any act of terrorism, provided such coverage is commercially available for properties similar to the Property and located in or around the region in which the Property is located. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to obtain such a policy, provided (I) Borrower confirms to Lender, in writing, that it shall protect and hold Lender harmless from any losses associated with such risks by, among other things, either (A) depositing with Lender sums sufficient to pay for all uninsured costs related to a Restoration of the Property following any act of terrorism (which sum shall be treated as a Net Proceeds Deficiency), or (B) provided such act of terrorism occurs on or after the Permitted Prepayment Date, prepaying the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof; (II) Sole Member (“Terrorism Insurance Guarantor”) executes a guaranty, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, guaranteeing in the event of any act of terrorism, payment to Lender of any sums that Borrower is obligated to pay to Lender under clause (I) above (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof) and (III) Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $300,000,000 (as determined by such entity’s most recent audited financial statements), such entity maintains a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower, and the aggregate loan-to-value ratio (as determined by Lender) (“LTV”) for all properties on which such entity has a direct or indirect ownership interest shall not exceed 60%,
53
however, Terrorism Insurance Guarantor may exceed the 60% LTV for a period not to exceed six (6) months out of any twelve (12) month period either 1) during the time period when Terrorism Insurance Guarantor is offering securities to the public, or 2) when in the business judgement of Terrorism Insurance Guarantor, exceeding an LTV of 60% is necessary given existing circumstances of the credit environment, but in no event shall the LTV exceed 65% if Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth greater than or equal to $300,000,000, but less than $400,000,000, or 70% if Terrorism Insurance Guarantor maintains a net worth of at least $400,000,000
(ix) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “AA” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group, and (ii) Xxxxx’x Investors Services, Inc. if Xxxxx’x Investors Service, Inc. is rating the Securities. The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee. Not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in
54
any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii) the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owning to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgage. The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property.
(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, provided no default shall exist under the Anchor Tenant Lease, and further provided that Anchor Tenant shall maintain a credit rating issued by Standard and Poor’s of BB or better (or an equivalent rating issued by another nationally recognized rating agency reasonably acceptable to Lender), Anchor Tenant shall be permitted to self-insure with respect to the coverage required hereunder in strict accordance with the Anchor Tenant Lease, and such self-insurance shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.1.
Section 6.2. Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower (a) shall give (or cause Anchor Tenant to give) to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the
55
event of a conflict between the foregoing requirements and the provisions of the Anchor Tenant Lease, the Anchor Tenant Lease shall control.
Section 6.3. Condemnation.
(a) Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the Property, provided the Anchor Tenant Lease continues to be in full force and effect, Anchor Tenant remains the Tenant under the Anchor Tenant Lease, and no default shall then exist under the Anchor Tenant Lease, in the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in subsection 6.3(a) and the terms of the Anchor Tenant Lease, the Anchor Tenant Lease shall govern and control.
Section 6.4. Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than Relevant Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J) and (L) of Section 6.4(b)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, then in either case, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the

Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b). The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (x) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (y) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);

(G) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided, however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements) will not require restoration of the Improvements or the Property to a size, condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed immediately prior to such Casualty or taking;

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by
59
the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper (provided no Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any Prepayment Consideration in connection with such payment), or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate, in its discretion.
(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Property, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
60
(e) Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4. All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.3.2(a) hereof (a “Net Proceeds Prepayment”). If such Net Proceeds Prepayment shall be equal to or greater than Ten Million Three Hundred Ninety-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($10,395,000.00); Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Note (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) within thirty (30) days following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to pay the Note in full, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Note in accordance with Section 2.3.2(b) hereof on or before the second Payment Date occurring following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to commence Restoration of the Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided the Anchor Tenant Lease continues to be in full force and effect, Anchor Tenant remains the Anchor Tenant under the Anchor Tenant Lease, and no default shall then exist under the Anchor Tenant Lease, the Anchor Tenant Lease shall govern and control in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 6.4 and the Anchor Tenant Lease regarding Restoration of the Property.
ARTICLE VII
RESERVE FUNDS
Section 7.1. Required Repair Funds.
7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, if any, as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”) within nine (9) months from the Closing Date, or such earlier time as specified on Schedule III. If Borrower has not delivered to Lender evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that it has completed all Required Repairs on or before the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date, or such earlier time as specified on Schedule III, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for the Property set forth on such Schedule III hereto, if any (less the amount allocated to the performance of Required Repairs for which evidence of completion has been delivered to Lender), to perform the Required Repairs for the Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender, if any, shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account. Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower does not either (i) does not deposit with Lender the Required Repair Fund as set forth above, or (ii) complete the Required Repairs at the Property within nine (9) months from the Closing Date. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply
61
such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (A) stating that all Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof 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, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or
62
estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and shall at Lender’s option be held in Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. Any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or 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 estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary hereinbefore contained, in the event that Borrower provides (1) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement and (2) evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes for the Property have been paid in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Agreement, Lender will waive the requirement set forth herein for Borrower to make deposits into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums and for payment of such Taxes, provided, however, Lender expressly reserves the right to require Borrower to make deposits to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund for the payment of Insurance Premiums if at any time the Property is not insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement or Taxes are not paid in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement.
Section 7.3. Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Closing Date and on each Payment Date one twelfth of the amount (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.15 per year per square foot of gross leasable area. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property. Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for the Property shall be retained by Lender in an interest bearing account, or, at the option of Lender, in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution; provided, however,
63
that, any interest earned on said account shall accrue in said account for the benefit of Borrower, but shall remain in and constitute part of the Replacement Reserve Fund, and shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms hereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.3, Borrower shall not be required to make Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposits, provided that: (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred; and (ii) either (A) Borrower makes all necessary Replacements and otherwise maintains the Property to Lender’s satisfaction, or (B) Anchor Tenant maintains the Property as required pursuant to the Anchor Tenant Lease. Upon notice from Lender following: (a) an Event of Default; or (b) the failure of Borrower to make necessary Replacements and otherwise maintain the Property to Lender’s satisfaction, or the failure of Anchor Tenant to maintain the Property as required pursuant to the Anchor Tenant Lease, as applicable, Borrower shall begin to deposit the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit into the Replacement Reserve Fund beginning on the Payment Date (as defined herein) immediately following the date of such notice.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(a) Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).
(b) Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(f)) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(c) Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made
64
only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(d) Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(e) If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(f) Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $5,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements.
(a) Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other first class, full service office properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
65
(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by Borrower. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d) In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f) Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business
66
hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g) Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $10,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h) The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i) Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j) All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k) In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements. (a) It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that
67
Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed sixty (60) days. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
7.3.6 INDEMNIFICATION. BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AND HOLD LENDER HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL ACTIONS, SUITS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES, OBLIGATIONS AND COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING LITIGATION COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS FEES AND EXPENSES) ARISING FROM OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE REPLACEMENTS UNLESS THE SAME ARE SOLELY DUE TO GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER. BORROWER SHALL ASSIGN TO LENDER ALL RIGHTS AND CLAIMS BORROWER MAY HAVE AGAINST ALL PERSONS OR ENTITIES SUPPLYING LABOR OR MATERIALS IN CONNECTION WITH THE REPLACEMENTS; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT LENDER MAY NOT PURSUE ANY SUCH RIGHT OR CLAIM UNLESS AN EVENT OF DEFAULT HAS OCCURRED AND REMAINS UNCURED.
Section 7.4. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.5. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.6. Intentionally Omitted.
Section 7.7. Reserve Funds, Generally.
7.7.1 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
68
7.7.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
7.7.3 The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
7.7.4 Intentionally omitted.
7.7.5 Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
7.7.6 Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.
7.7.7 Upon payment in full of the Debt and performance of all other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all remaining Reserve Funds.

(xiii) if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 8.2. Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence 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 Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under 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 Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
(b) Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, 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 the Mortgage 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 the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and
71
such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender following the occurrence of an Event of Default as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(d) As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3. Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE IX
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1. Sale of Notes and Securitization. At the request of the holder of the Note and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender to allow Lender to satisfy the market standards to which the holder of the Note customarily adheres or which may be reasonably
72
required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participations therein or the first successful securitization (such sale and/or securitization, the “Securitization”) of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage. In this regard Borrower shall:
(a) (i) provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
(b) cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;
(c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and
(d) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.
All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.
Section 9.2. Securitization. Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
73
Section 9.3. Rating Surveillance. Lender, at its option, may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. Such rating surveillance will be at the expense of Lender (the “Rating Surveillance Charge”).
Section 9.4. Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents following an Event of Default, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not xxx for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:
(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;
(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;
(iii) material physical waste of the Property;
(iv) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(v) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property after an Event of Default;
74
(vi) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any insurance proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, (B) any awards or other amounts received in connection with the condemnation of all or a portion of the Property which are not applied by Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, or (C) any Rents following an Event of Default;
(vii) failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create liens on any portion of the Property; or
(viii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower and (B) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents in the event that the (I) first full monthly payment under the Note is not paid within five (5) days of notice that such payment is late (provided, however, that such grace period relates only to the recourse trigger described in this paragraph), or (II) failure of Borrower to permit on-site inspections of the Property subject to the rights of Tenants and any applicable cure period set forth in the Loan Documents, to provide financial information as required under the Loan Documents subject to any applicable cure period (except for financial information required to be delivered by a tenant pursuant to the applicable Lease that has not been delivered to Borrower, provided Borrower has requested such financial information from such tenant), or (III) failure of Borrower to comply with Section 4.1.30 hereof, or (IV) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent (to extent such consent is required) to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Property, or (V) failure of Borrower to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer or conveyance of the Property, or any portion thereof, or any interest therein as required by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the provision set forth in clause (IV) of this paragraph, a voluntary lien other than a lien securing an extension of credit filed against the Property shall not constitute a recourse trigger for purposes of this paragraph provided such lien (A) is fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record within ninety (90) days of filing, or (B) within such ninety (90) day period, Lender receives affirmative title insurance from the title insurance company insuring the lien of the Mortgage that such lien is subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage and no enforcement action is commenced by the applicable lien holder. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 9.4, upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (I), (II) or (IV) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such trigger. Upon the acceptance by Lender of any cure by Borrower of a recourse trigger described in clauses (III) or (V) above, the Debt shall no longer be fully recourse to Borrower solely as a result of such
75
trigger, provided, however, Borrower shall remain liable to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with such trigger. Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the provisions in this paragraph (i.e., the last paragraph contained within this Section 9.4) shall apply to and inure only to the benefit of the original Borrower named herein and any other entity which hereafter may become the Borrower which either (x) is an Affiliate wholly-owned (directly or indirectly) by Sole Member, (y) is a Qualified Entity, or (z) a transferee described in Section 5.2.13(a)(6) hereof.
Section 9.5. Termination of Manager. If (a) the amounts evidenced by the Note have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (b) the Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Manager is in default under the terms of the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace or cure period, (d) Manager is not managing the Property in accordance with the management practices of nationally recognized management companies managing similar properties in locations comparable to those of the Property, or (e) if Manager shall assign the Management Agreement without Lender’s consent (if such consent is required pursuant to the Assignment and Subordination of Management Agreement between Manager, Lender and Borrower), then, in the case of (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e), Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager reasonably approved by Lender on terms and conditions reasonably satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates. In addition and without limiting the rights of Lender hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, in the event that (i) the Management Agreement is terminated, (ii) the Manager no longer manages the Property, or (iii) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for Manager or if Manager shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or if any petition for bankruptcy, reorganization or arrangement pursuant to federal bankruptcy law, or any similar federal or state law, shall be filed by or against, consented to, or acquiesced in by, Manager, or if any proceeding for the dissolution or liquidation of Manager shall be instituted, then Borrower (at Borrower’s sole cost and expense) shall immediately, in its name, establish new deposit accounts separate from any other Person with a depository satisfactory to Lender into which all Rents and other income from the Property shall be deposited and shall grant Lender a first priority security interest in such account pursuant to documentation satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.
Section 9.6. Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.
Section 9.7. Splitting the Loan. At the election of Lender in its sole discretion, the Loan or any individual Note making up the Loan shall be split and severed into two or more loans which, at Lender’s election, shall not be cross-collateralized or cross-defaulted with each other. Borrower hereby agrees to deliver to Lender to effectuate such severing of the Loan or any individual Note, as the case may be, as reasonably requested by Lender, (a) additional
76
executed documents, or amendments and modifications to the applicable Loan Documents, (b) new opinions or updates to the opinions delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, (c) endorsements and/or updates to the title insurance policies delivered to Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (d) any other certificates, instruments and documentation reasonably determined by Lender as necessary or appropriate to such severance (the items described in subsections (a) through (d) collectively hereinafter shall be referred to as “Severing Documentation”), which Severing Documentation shall be acceptable to Lender in form and substance in its reasonable discretion. Lender hereby agrees to be responsible for all reasonable third-party expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and delivery of the Severing Documentation and the effectuation of the uncrossing of the Loan from the additional Loans. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that upon such severing of the Loan, Lender may effect, in its sole discretion, one or more Securitizations of which the severed loans may be a part.
ARTICLE X
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1. Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Debt is outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 10.2. Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive.
Section 10.3. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT ENTERED INTO PURSUANT TO THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND SHALL IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED, CONSTRUED, APPLIED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE IN WHICH THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.
77
Section 10.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
Section 10.6. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, and by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section):

Section 10.8. Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 10.9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10. Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11. Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or
79
the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 10.12. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13. Expenses; Indemnity.
(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such
80
costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.
(b) BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS LENDER FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL OTHER LIABILITIES, OBLIGATIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, ACTIONS, JUDGMENTS, SUITS, CLAIMS, COSTS, EXPENSES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHATSOEVER (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL FOR LENDER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY INVESTIGATIVE, ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL PROCEEDING COMMENCED OR THREATENED, WHETHER OR NOT LENDER SHALL BE DESIGNATED A PARTY THERETO), THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON, INCURRED BY, OR ASSERTED AGAINST LENDER IN ANY MANNER RELATING TO OR ARISING OUT OF (I) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER, OR ANY MATERIAL MISREPRESENTATION BY BORROWER CONTAINED IN, THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (II) THE USE OR INTENDED USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOAN (COLLECTIVELY, THE “INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES”); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT BORROWER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY OBLIGATION TO LENDER HEREUNDER TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES ARISE FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ILLEGAL ACTS, FRAUD OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE UNDERTAKING TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SET FORTH IN THE PRECEDING SENTENCE MAY BE UNENFORCEABLE BECAUSE IT VIOLATES ANY LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY, BORROWER SHALL PAY THE MAXIMUM PORTION THAT IT IS PERMITTED TO PAY AND SATISFY UNDER APPLICABLE LAW TO THE PAYMENT AND SATISFACTION OF ALL INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES INCURRED BY LENDER.
Section 10.14. Schedules Incorporated. The 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 10.15. 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 in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16. 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
81
