2. GENERAL LOAN TERMS
2.1 THE LOAN. Lender is making a loan (the "LOAN") to Borrowers on
the date hereof, in the original principal amount (the "PRINCIPAL") of
$30,000,000, which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date. Each Borrower
acknowledges receipt of the Loan, the proceeds of which are being and shall be
used to (i) acquire the Property, (ii) fund certain of the Subaccounts, and
(iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful
purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.
2.2 INTEREST; MONTHLY PAYMENTS.
2.2.1 GENERALLY. From and after the date hereof, interest on
the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as
hereinafter provided. On the date hereof, Borrowers shall pay interest on the
unpaid Principal from the date hereof through and including October 31, 2003. On
December 1, 2003 and each Payment Date thereafter through and including October
1, 2010, the Principal and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be
payable in equal monthly installments of $181,370.98 (the "MONTHLY DEBT SERVICE
PAYMENT AMOUNT"); which is based on the Interest Rate and a 360-month
amortization schedule (the "Amortization Schedule"). The Monthly Debt Service
Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be applied to the payment of
interest accrued during the preceding Interest Period and the remainder of such
Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the
unpaid Principal. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on
the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment
Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrowers shall also
pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not
including the next Payment Date.
2.2.2 DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest
at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the
extent permitted by applicable law.
2.2.3 TAXES. Any and all payments by Borrowers hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without
deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding
taxes imposed on Lender's income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the
law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being
hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as "APPLICABLE TAXES"). If any
Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in
respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply: (i)
the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all
required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make
such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to
the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable
law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within ten days after
the date Lender makes written demand therefor. If the amounts payable hereunder
relate to Applicable Taxes which are not of general application to lending
institutions making secured mortgage loans at such time, Borrowers shall have
the option to prepay the Loan in full
13
without any Yield Maintenance Premium unless Lender, at its option, elects not
to require Borrower to pay such Applicable Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.2.3.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred to a transferee which
is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of
America or any state thereof, the transferor shall cause such transferee,
concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to furnish to the
transferor and Borrowers either a United States Internal Revenue Service Form
4224 or United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (wherein such
transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from United States federal
withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder); provided, however, that in
the event that the transferor fails to cause the transferee to furnish either
such Form, Borrowers shall deduct any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by
law and payments shall be made net of any Applicable Taxes without regard to the
provisions of clause (i) of the second sentence of this Section 2.2.3.
2.2.4 NEW PAYMENT DATE. Lender shall have the right, to be
exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment
Date to a date other than the first day of each month (a "NEW PAYMENT DATE"), on
30 days' written notice to Borrowers; provided, however, that any such change in
the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly
principal and interest payments, except that the first payment of principal and
interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the
interest rate herein provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month
in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, and (ii)
shall extend the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the
month set forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.
2.3 LOAN REPAYMENT.
2.3.1 REPAYMENT. Borrowers shall repay the entire outstanding
principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with
interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts
due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrowers shall have no right to prepay
or defease all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section
2.3.2, Section 2.3.3 and Section 2.4 below. Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of
the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of
priority: FIRST, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; SECOND, to
Principal; and THIRD, to any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan
Documents. If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by
reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in
addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under
the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable
to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default,
all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property
(whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall,
unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in
such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender's discretion.
2.3.2 MANDATORY PREPAYMENTS. The Loan is subject to mandatory
prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a
"CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION PREPAYMENT"), in the manner and to the extent set forth
in Section 7.4.2 (and after any such application to the Debt, the unpaid
Principal shall be reamortized over the remaining Term.). Each
Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender's costs and expenses
14
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in connection with the
settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same
manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1, and if such Casualty/Condemnation
Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such
Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would have accrued on
the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date. Provided that
no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this
Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
2.3.3 DEFEASANCE.
(A) CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE. Provided no Event of Default
shall be continuing, Borrowers shall have the right on any Payment Date after
the Release Date and prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily
defease the entire amount of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of
the Mortgage by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (a "DEFEASANCE
EVENT"), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(1) Borrowers shall give Lender not less than thirty (30)
days prior written notice specifying a Payment Date (the "DEFEASANCE
DATE") on which the Defeasance Event is to occur.
(2) Borrowers shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of
Principal and interest due on the Loan to and including the Defeasance
Date and (B) all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement and

the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the

Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the
Defeasance Collateral;

opining, among other things, that (i) Lender has a legal and valid
perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral
Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) if a securitization has
occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such securitization will
not fail to maintain its status as a "real estate mortgage investment
conduit" within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of a
Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.3.3, (iii) the Defeasance
Event will not result in a deemed exchange for purposes of the Code and
will not adversely affect the status of the Note as indebtedness for
federal income tax purposes, (iv) delivery of the Defeasance Collateral
and the grant of a security interest therein to Lender shall not
constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the Bankruptcy
Code or applicable state law and (v) a non-consolidation opinion with
respect to the Successor Borrower;
(6) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a Rating Comfort
Letter as to the Defeasance Event;

amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments;
(9) Borrowers shall deliver such other certificates,
opinions, documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request;
and
(10) Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender
incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including Lender's
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and
expenses.
(B) DEFEASANCE COLLATERAL ACCOUNT. On or before the date on
which Borrowers deliver the Defeasance Collateral, Borrowers shall open at any
Eligible Institution the defeasance collateral account (the "DEFEASANCE
COLLATERAL ACCOUNT") which shall at all times be an Eligible Account. The
Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and
(ii) cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All
cash from interest and principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral
shall be paid over to Lender on each Payment Date and applied first to accrued
and unpaid interest and then to Principal. Any cash from interest and principal
paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest
or Principal shall be retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as
additional collateral for the Loan. Borrowers shall cause the Eligible
Institution at which the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter an
agreement with Borrowers and Lender, satisfactory to Lender in its sole
discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and
distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. The
Successor Borrower shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and
shall report all income accrued on Defeasance Collateral for federal, state and
local income tax purposes in its income tax return. Borrowers shall prepay all
cost and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance
Collateral Account. Lender shall not in any way be liable by reason of any
insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.

Remote Entity and which shall be approved by the Rating Agencies. Any such
Successor Borrower may, at Borrowers' option, be an Affiliate of Borrowers
unless the Rating Agencies shall require otherwise. Borrowers shall transfer and
assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Defeased Note,
together with the Defeasance Collateral to such Successor Borrower. Such
Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security
Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such
documents. Borrowers shall pay a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor
Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the
Security Agreement. Borrowers shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by
Lender, including Lender's attorney's fees and expenses, incurred in connection
therewith.
16

Date prior to the Stated Maturity Date (the "PERMITTED PREPAYMENT DATE"),
Borrowers shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole (but not in part),
provided that Borrowers give Lender at least 15 days' prior written notice
thereof. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrowers shall
also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not
including, the next Payment Date. Any such prepayment shall be made without
payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.

the sole source of collateral securing the Note. In connection with the release

its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for

jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions
protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrowers shall
provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by
Borrowers in connection with such release, together with an Officer's
Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all
Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the

associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender's
reasonable attorneys' fees.

written request and at the expense of Borrowers, upon payment in full of the

theretofore released.

Borrowers shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House

is due and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.5.3, such failure
continues for five (5) days, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount
equal to the lesser of 5% of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by
applicable law (the "LATE PAYMENT CHARGE"), in order to defray the expense
incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to
compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Such
amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents. With respect to the foregoing 5
day grace period, the parties agree that such 5 day grace period shall only be
applicable no more than twice during the Term, and in all other instances, the
Late Payment Charge shall be payable in accordance with this Section 2.5.3 with
respect to any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document
which is not paid by Borrowers on the date on which the same is due.
3. CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES
3.1 CASH MANAGEMENT ARRANGEMENTS. Borrowers shall cause all Rents to
be transmitted directly by tenants of the Property into a trust account (the
"CLEARING ACCOUNT") maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by such
Borrower, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the "CLEARING
BANK") as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any
way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrowers or Manager shall be
deposited into the Clearing Account within two Business Days of receipt. Funds
deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a
daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender
(the "DEPOSIT ACCOUNT") and applied and disbursed in accordance with this
Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender's discretion
only in Permitted Investments. Lender will also establish subaccounts of the
Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger
or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred
to herein as "Subaccounts"). The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be
under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and no Borrower shall have any
right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrowers shall pay for all expenses of opening
and maintaining all of the above accounts.
3.2 REQUIRED REPAIRS.
3.2.1 COMPLETION OF REQUIRED REPAIRS. Borrowers shall perform
and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial work at the
Property described on Schedule 1 (the "REQUIRED REPAIRS") within six (6) months
of the date hereof or such shorter period of time for such item set forth on
Schedule 1.
3.2.2 REQUIRED REPAIRS RESERVES. On the date hereof, Borrowers
shall deposit with Lender the sum of $132,375 and Lender shall cause such amount
to be transferred to a Subaccount (the "REQUIRED REPAIRS SUBACCOUNT"). Provided
no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse
funds held in the Required Repairs Subaccount to Borrowers (or at Borrower's
direction, disburse directly to the payee of the subject Required Repairs (or
portion thereof)), within 10 days after the delivery by Borrowers to Lender of a
request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at
least $5,000, accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form
and substance satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer's Certificate (A)
certifying that the Required Repairs or any portion
18
thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed
in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal
Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in
connection with such Required Repairs or any portion thereof and (C) stating
that each such Person has been or, upon receipt of the requested disbursement,
will be paid in full with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which
is the subject of the requested disbursement; (ii) copies of appropriate Lien
waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender; (iii) with respect
to any disbursement that exceeds $50,000, at Lender's option, a title search for
the Property indicating that it is free from all Liens not previously approved
by Lender; (iv) a copy of each License required to be obtained with respect to
the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested
disbursement; and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request
that the Required Repairs which are the subject of the requested disbursement
have been completed and paid for. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and is continuing, upon Borrowers' completion of all Required
Repairs in accordance with this Section 3.2, Lender shall release any funds
remaining in the Required Repairs Subaccount, if any, to Borrowers.
3.3 TAXES AND INSURANCE. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each
Payment Date (i) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable
during the next 12 months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to
pay all such Taxes at least 30 days prior to their respective due dates and (ii)
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 30 days prior to the expiration of the Policies. Such amounts
will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the "TAX AND INSURANCE
SUBACCOUNT"). Provided that no monetary Event of Default or material
non-monetary Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a)
apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes and
Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrowers pursuant to Sections 5.2 and
7.1, provided that Borrowers have promptly supplied Lender with notices of all
Taxes and Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrowers for such amounts
upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrowers' right
to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2. In making any payment relating
to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, 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), without
inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or estimate or into the
validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim
thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the
Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the
Taxes or Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease)
the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrowers to the Tax and
Insurance Subaccount.
3.4 CAPITAL EXPENSE RESERVES. Borrowers shall pay to Lender (i)
$30,000 on the date hereof, (ii) $10,365 on each Payment Date from and including
January 1, 2004 through and including December 1, 2005 and (iii) $4,607 on each
Payment Date thereafter. Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount
(the "CAPITAL RESERVE SUBACCOUNT"). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days' prior
notice to Borrowers, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment
required under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable discretion
(based upon its then current underwriting standards). Provided that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the
Capital Reserve Subaccount to
19
Borrowers, within 15 days after the delivery by Borrowers to Lender of a request
therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least
$5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense;
(ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at
Borrowers' expense (with respect to any disbursement in excess of $50,000))
performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii)
the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer's Certificate
certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrowers for
Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding
trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid
from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness)
have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the
previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) lien waivers or other
evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (C) with respect to any disbursement
that exceeds $50,000, 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 (D) such other evidence as
Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenditures 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 Borrowers. Any such
disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved
Capital Expenses may, at Lender's option, be made by joint check payable to
Borrowers and the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.
3.5 ROLLOVER RESERVES. Borrowers shall pay to Lender (i) $1,570,000
on the date hereof, (ii) $23,035 on each Payment Date from and including January
1, 2004 through and including December 1, 2005 and (iii) $28,795 on each Payment
Date thereafter. Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the
"ROLLOVER RESERVE SUBACCOUNT"). Borrowers shall also pay to Lender for transfer
into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount all payments received from tenants in
connection with the early termination or cancellation of any Leases, including
fees, penalties and commissions. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment
that the funds in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount will be insufficient to pay
(or in excess of) the amounts due or to become due for Approved Leasing
Expenses, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to
be made by Borrowers to the Rollover Reserve Subaccount. Provided that no Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in
the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrowers, within 15 days after the delivery
by Borrowers to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per
month), in increments of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for
an Approved Leasing Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by
an inspection conducted at Borrowers' expense) performance of any construction
work associated with such Approved Leasing Expense; and (iii) the request for
disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer's Certificate certifying (1) that
such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrowers for) Approved
Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade
payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the
requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been
paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used only to pay
(or reimburse Borrowers for) the previously identified Approved Leasing
Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount,
necessity and purpose therefor. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to
pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at Lender's
20
option, be made by joint check payable to Borrowers and the payee of such
Approved Leasing Expenses..
3.6 OPERATING EXPENSE SUBACCOUNT. On each Payment Date during the
continuance of a Cash Trap Period, a portion of Rents that have been deposited
into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period in an
amount equal to the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Operating Budget
for the following month (plus any other amounts requested by Borrowers for such
month for payment of items constituting Approved Operating Expenses, which are
not included in the Approved Operating Budget), shall be transferred into a
Subaccount for the purpose of payment of Approved Operating Expenses for the
month in which such Payment Date occurs (the "OPERATING EXPENSE SUBACCOUNT").
Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall
disburse funds held in the Operating Expense Subaccount to Borrowers (or at
Borrowers' direction, to the Manager), within 5 Business Days after delivery by
Borrowers to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than weekly), in
increments of at least $1,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved
Operating Expense; and (ii) such disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer's
Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay Approved
Operating Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade
payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the
requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been
paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous
disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used
to pay the previously identified Approved Operating Expenses, and (B) reasonably
detailed documentation satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and
purpose therefor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to
the extent that (i) Borrower has requested a disbursement of funds from the
Operating Expense Subaccount in accordance with the foregoing provisions and
(ii) at the time of such request, the funds that have been collected in the
Operating Expense Subaccount are insufficient to cover the same, then Lender
shall nonetheless disburse additional funds that are thereafter deposited into
the Operating Expense Subaccount to Borrower (without any requirement for
Borrower to submit an additional request therefor); provided that sufficient
funds have been collected in the Deposit Account to make the payments required
under clauses (i) - (v) of Section 3.12(a) on the next succeeding Payment Date.
3.7 CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION SUBACCOUNT. Borrowers shall pay, or cause
to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation
to be transferred to a Subaccount (the "CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION SUBACCOUNT") in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7. All amounts in the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall disbursed in accordance with the
provisions of Section 7.
3.8 SECURITY DEPOSITS. Borrowers shall keep all security deposits
under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. After the
occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrowers shall, upon Lender's request, if
permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security
deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held
by Lender in a Subaccount (the "SECURITY DEPOSIT SUBACCOUNT") subject to the
terms of the Leases. Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount
will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrowers together with such
evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required
to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as
Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease.
21
Any letter of credit or other instrument that any Borrower receives in lieu of a
cash security deposit under any Lease shall (i) be maintained in full force and
effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove
described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender
as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender's option, be fully assignable to
Lender).
3.9 CASH COLLATERAL SUBACCOUNT. If a Cash Trap Period shall have
commenced, then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment
Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Trap Period, all Available
Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into
a Subaccount (the "CASH COLLATERAL SUBACCOUNT") as cash collateral for the Debt.
Any funds in the Cash Collateral Account and not previously disbursed or applied
shall be disbursed to Borrowers upon the termination of such Cash Trap Period.
Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the
continuance of a monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of
Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit
in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner
as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including to make a
prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium
applicable thereto).
3.10 PARKING EASEMENT RESERVE. On the date hereof, Borrowers shall
deposit with Lender the sum of $5,000 and Lender shall cause such amount to be
transferred to a Subaccount (the "PARKING EASEMENT SUBACCOUNT"). If, after the
date hereof, Lender determines (based on any increase in the amounts that are
payable by Borrowers under the Parking Easement Agreement (hereinafter defined)
that the funds in the Parking Easement Subaccount are less than 25% of the
annual aggregate amount payable by Borrowers under the Parking Easement
Agreement (as reasonably determined by Lender, the "ANNUAL EASEMENT EXPENSE"),
then upon notice from Lender to Borrowers, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender
(for transfer into the Parking Easement Subaccount) an additional amount, such
that the amount on deposit in the Parking Easement Subaccount shall always be at
least equal to 25% of the Annual Easement Expense. On a monthly basis, Borrowers
shall deliver to Lender (i) copies of all invoices or bills received by
Borrowers from the Easement Parcel Owner (hereinafter defined) under the Parking
Easement Agreement and (ii) evidence that the amount billed thereunder has been
paid by Borrowers. If either (i) Borrowers fail to deliver to Lender such
evidence of payment within 15 days following the end of any given calendar month
or (ii) upon receipt of notice from the Easement Parcel Owner that Borrowers
have failed to make a monthly payment under the Parking Easement Agreement,
Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply the funds in the
Parking Easement Subaccount to payment of such amount under the Parking Easement
Agreement (and shall thereafter deliver to Borrowers evidence of such payment),
whereupon Borrowers shall replenish the Parking Easement Subaccount upon demand.
In making any payment of funds from the Parking Easement Subaccount, Lender may
do so according to any xxxx, statement or estimate procured from the Easement
Parcel Owner, without inquiry into the accuracy of such xxxx, statement or
estimate or into the validity of any claim by the Easement Parcel Owner.
As used in this Section 3.10, (i) "PARKING EASEMENT AGREEMENT" means that
certain Declaration of Parking and Access Easement dated December 17, 1991 and
recorded as Document No. 5867083 in the Office of County Recorder of Hennepin
County, Minnesota, as amended by that
22
certain First Amendment to Parking and Access Easement dated September 2, 1993
and recorded as Document No. 6179395, and as further amended by that certain
Second Amendment to Parking and Access Easement dated December 27, 2002 and
recorded as Document No. 7953195, and (ii) "EASEMENT PARCEL OWNER" means DRF
Holdings LLC and its successors and assigns under the Parking Easement
Agreement.
3.11 GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST; APPLICATION OF FUNDS. As security
for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrowers of all other terms,
conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby pledges
and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all such
Borrower's right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all
payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, all
Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the "CASH
MANAGEMENT Accounts"). Each Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing
security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all
Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii)
deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account. No Borrower shall, without
obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant
any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to
attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements,
except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect
thereto. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a
security agreement for purposes of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash
Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in
Lender's discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without
adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage
or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents. Cash Management Accounts
shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by
Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account
(other than the Tax and Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of
Borrowers and shall be taxable to Borrowers and shall be added to and disbursed
in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which
said interest accrued. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds
in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrowers.
3.12 PROPERTY CASH FLOW ALLOCATION.
(a) All Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during the
immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as
follows in the following order of priority: (i) First, to make payments into the
Tax and Insurance Subaccount as required under Section 3.3; (ii) Second, to pay
the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with
the Deposit Account Agreement; (iii) Third, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt
Service Payment Amount due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest
at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under
other clauses of this Section 3.12(a), then due to Lender under the Loan
Documents); (iv) Fourth, to make payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount as
required under Section 3.4; (v) Fifth, to make payments into the Rollover
Reserve Subaccount as required under Section 3.5; (vi) Sixth, during the
continuance of a Cash Trap Period, to make payments for Approved Operating
Expenses as required under Section 3.6; (vii) Seventh, during the continuance of
a Cash Trap Period, to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining
Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in
accordance with Section 3.9; and (viii) Lastly, except during the
23
continuance of a Cash Trap Period, payments to Borrowers of any remaining
amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except during the continuance of a Cash
Trap Period, provided that in any given Interest Period, all amounts referred to
in the foregoing clauses (i) - (v) have been paid, then at Borrowers' request,
the payments to Borrowers under the foregoing clause (viii) shall be made on a
weekly basis.
(b) The failure of Borrowers to make all of the payments
required under clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 3.12(a) in full on each
Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement;
provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for
such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the
appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 3.12, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply
all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in
such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Each Borrower represents and warrants to Lender as of the date
hereof that, except to the extent (if any) disclosed on Schedule 2 with
reference to a specific Section of this Article 4:
4.1 ORGANIZATION; SPECIAL PURPOSE. Each Borrower has been duly
organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
state of its formation, with requisite power and authority, and all rights,
licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to
own its properties and to transact the business in which it is now engaged. Each
Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its
properties, business and operations. Each Borrower is a Special Purpose
Bankruptcy Remote Entity.
4.2 PROCEEDINGS; ENFORCEABILITY. Each Borrower has taken all
necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each
Borrower that is a party to such Loan Document and constitute legal, valid and
binding obligations of such Borrower enforceable against such Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general
principles of equity. The Loan Documents are not subject to, and no Borrower has
asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury. No exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or
any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.
4.3 NO CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents by Borrowers and the transactions contemplated hereby 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
(other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of any
Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which any
Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor will such action
result in any violation of the
24
provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental
Authority having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any of its properties. No
Borrower's rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will be
adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, any
Borrower's performance thereunder, the recordation of the Mortgage, or the
exercise of any remedies by Lender. Any consent, approval, authorization, order,
registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for
the execution, delivery and performance by any Borrower of the Loan Documents
has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
4.4 LITIGATION. There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at
law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or
threatened against or affecting any Borrower, the Manager or the Property,
which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition
(financial or otherwise) or business of any Borrower, Manager or the condition
or ownership of the Property.
4.5 AGREEMENTS. No Borrower is a party to any agreement or
instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect any
Borrower or the Property, or any Borrower's business, properties, operations or
condition, financial or otherwise. No Borrower is in default in any material
respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any Permitted Encumbrance or any other
agreement or instrument to which any Borrower is a party or by which any
Borrower or the Property is bound.
4.6 TITLE. Borrowers have good, marketable and indefeasible title in
fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and
clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances. All transfer taxes, deed
stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes
required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in
connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrowers have been paid. The
Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any
UCC Financing Statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will
create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrowers' interest in the
Property and (ii) valid and perfected first priority security interests in and
to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the
Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to
any applicable Permitted Encumbrances. All mortgage, recording, stamp,
intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under
applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery,
recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan
Documents have been paid. The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely
affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrowers' ability to
repay the Loan. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to
Borrowers' best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the
Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property.
There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the
Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the
Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no outstanding options to
purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the
Property. The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to
reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto. All of
the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie
wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and
no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no
easement or other encumbrance upon
25
the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured
against by the Title Insurance Policy. Each parcel comprising the Property is a
separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of
the Property. There are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for
public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated
improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other
assessments.
4.7 NO BANKRUPTCY FILING. No Borrower is contemplating either the
filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency
law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a "BANKRUPTCY
PROCEEDING"), and Borrowers have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the
filing of any such petition against any Borrower. In addition, no Borrower nor
any principal nor Affiliate of any Borrower has been a party to, or the subject
of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten years.
4.8 FULL AND ACCURATE DISCLOSURE. No statement of fact made by any
Borrower in any Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact
or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained
therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to any
Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as
far as any Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the
business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Borrower. All
financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating
expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrowers and, to
Borrowers' knowledge, the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all
material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of each
Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the
extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods
covered, except as disclosed therein. No Borrower has any contingent
liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments,
unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any
liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement. Since the
date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change
in the financial condition, operations or business of any Borrower or the
Property from that set forth in said financial statements.
4.9 TAX FILINGS. To the extent required, each Borrower has filed (or
has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax
returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the
payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable
by such Borrower. Each Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) properly
reflect the income and taxes of such Borrower for the periods covered thereby,
subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service
or other applicable tax authority upon audit.
4.10 NO PLAN ASSETS. As of the date hereof and throughout the Term
(i) no Borrower is or will be an "employee benefit plan," as defined in Section
3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of any
Borrower constitutes or will constitute "plan assets" of one or more such plans
within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101, (iii) no Borrower is or will
be a "governmental plan" within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv)
transactions by or with any Borrower are not and will not be subject to state
statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to,
governmental plans.
26
4.11 COMPLIANCE. Each Borrower and, to Borrowers' best knowledge, the
Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable
Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and
land use laws, regulations and ordinances). No Borrower is in default or
violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental
Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the
condition (financial or otherwise) or business of any Borrower. The Property is
used exclusively as an office building property and other appurtenant and
related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are
destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their
condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same
use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and
without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal
proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrowers, threatened with
respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to
construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related
to the Property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses
and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits
required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property
(collectively, the "LICENSES"), have been obtained and are in full force and
effect. The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate
of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and
conditions affecting the Property.
4.12 CONTRACTS. There are no service, maintenance or repair contracts
affecting the Property that are not terminable on one month's notice or less
without cause and without penalty or premium. All service, maintenance or repair
contracts affecting the Property have been entered into at arms-length in the
ordinary course of the business of the Borrower which owns the Property and
provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing
market rates.
4.13 FEDERAL RESERVE REGULATIONS; INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. No part of
the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring
any "margin stock" within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors
of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of
Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan
Document. No Borrower is (i) an "investment company" or a company "controlled"
by an "investment company," within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended; (ii) a "holding company" or a "subsidiary company" of a
"holding company" or an "affiliate" of either a "holding company" or a
"subsidiary company" within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company
Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or
regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.
4.14 EASEMENTS; UTILITIES AND PUBLIC ACCESS. All easements, cross
easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property
interests (collectively, "EASEMENTS"), if any, necessary for the full
utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained,
are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect
without default thereunder. The Property has rights of access to public ways and
is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to
service it for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient
to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public
right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected
27
so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid
easement. All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current
purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all
Governmental Authorities.
4.15 PHYSICAL CONDITION. The Property, including all Improvements,
parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition,
order and repair in all material respects; there exists no structural or other
material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise. No
Borrower has received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of
any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would
adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary
premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or
bond. No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards. The
Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been
fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.
4.16 LEASES. The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 8 (the "RENT
ROLL") is true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any
Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll. Except as set forth on
the Rent Roll: (i) each Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants
under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of
their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the
Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof;
(iii) all rents due and payable under the Leases have been paid and no portion
thereof has been paid for any period more than 30 days in advance; (iv) the rent
payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll,
and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an
adjustment to the rent; (v) to Borrowers' best knowledge, no tenant has made any
claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are
no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has
occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would
constitute such a default; (vi) to Borrowers' best knowledge, there is no
present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security
deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent
with Section 3.8; (viii) Borrowers are the sole owner of the entire lessor's
interest in each Lease; (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of such Borrower and the applicable tenant thereunder; (x) to
Borrowers' best knowledge, no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to
occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease; and (xi) each Lease is
subordinate to the Loan Documents, either pursuant to its terms or pursuant to a
subordination and attornment agreement. None of the Leases contains any option
to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part
thereof. Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except
to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants
thereunder.
4.17 FRAUDULENT TRANSFER. No Borrower has entered into the Loan or
any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any
creditor, and Borrowers have received reasonably equivalent value in exchange
for their obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of
Borrowers' assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and
delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrowers' total liabilities, including
subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the
maximum amount of its contingent
28
liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrowers'
assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan
Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out their
business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. No Borrower intends to,
and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including
contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such
debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable
on or in respect of obligations of such Borrower).

any trade name or has done or will not do business under any name other than its
actual name set forth herein and the trade name of the Property. The principal
place of business of each Borrower is its primary address for notices as set
forth in Section 6.1, and no Borrower has any other place of business.

Property or any excess cash flow or any residual interest therein, whether
secured or unsecured, other than Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted
Indebtedness.

4.25 SECURITIES LAWS COMPLIANCE. No Securities Laws have been
violated in connections with the issuing, selling, transferring or marketing of
tenancy in common interests. Without limiting the foregoing, no Borrower nor any
of their Affiliates has made any material untrue statement in any offering

Property free from Hazardous Substances and in compliance with all Environmental
Laws, (ii) promptly notify Lender if such Borrower shall become aware that (A)
any Hazardous Substance is on or near the Property, (B) the Property is in
violation of any Environmental Laws or (C) any condition on or near the Property

the case of removal which is not required by law, but in response to the opinion
of a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or other qualified
environmental consulting firm engaged by Lender ("LENDER'S CONSULTANT")),
promptly after such Borrower becomes aware of same, at Borrowers' sole expense.
Nothing herein shall prevent such Borrower from recovering such expenses from
any other party that may be liable for such removal or cure.
5.8.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING.
(a) Borrowers shall give prompt written notice to Lender of
(i) any proceeding or inquiry by any party (including any Governmental
Authority) with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substance on, under,
from or about the Property, (ii) all claims made or threatened by any third
party (including any Governmental Authority) against any Borrower or the
Property or any party occupying the Property relating to any loss or injury
resulting from any Hazardous Substance, and (iii) any Borrower's discovery of
any occurrence or condition on any real property adjoining or in the vicinity of
the Property that could cause the Property to be subject to any investigation or
cleanup pursuant to any Environmental Law. Borrowers shall permit Lender to join
and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal or administrative
proceedings or other actions initiated with respect to the Property in
connection with any Environmental Law or Hazardous Substance, and Borrowers

connection therewith.
(b) Upon Lender's request, at any time and from time to
time, Borrowers shall provide an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by
a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified
environmental consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or
absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property, and if Lender in
its good faith judgment determines that reasonable cause exists for the
performance of such environmental inspection or audit, then the cost and expense
of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrowers. Such inspections and
audit may include soil bearings and ground water monitoring. If Borrowers fail
to provide any such inspection or audit within 30 days after such request,
Lender may order same, and Borrowers hereby grant to Lender and its employees
and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or
audit.
34

connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and
maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Substance, whether such
Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by any
Borrower, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrowers
shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented
at their expense upon request of Lender. If any investigation, site monitoring,
containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or other work of any kind is
reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law ("REMEDIAL WORK"),
Borrowers shall commence all such Remedial Work within 30 days after written
demand by Lender and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such
Remedial Work within such period of time as may be required under applicable
law). All Remedial Work shall be performed by licensed contractors approved in
advance by Lender and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by
Lender. All costs of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrowers, including
Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements incurred in connection
with the monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. If Borrowers do not timely
commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may

Borrowers' expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not be
required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time period:
(x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing
such Remedial Work within such time period would result in any Borrower or such
Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrowers, at their
expense and after prior written notice to Lender, are contesting by appropriate
legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due
diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work. Borrowers shall have the right to
contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (1) Borrowers are
permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the
Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Property nor any part
thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if a Borrower fails
to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if such Borrower
fails to prevail in contest such Borrower would thereafter have the opportunity
to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted
contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrowers have
not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any
risk of criminal liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein
would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrowers have not
furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of
the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrowers shall have furnished
to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested
and the loss or damage that may result from Borrowers' failure to prevail in
such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no
event less than one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost of such
Remedial Work as estimated by Lender or Lender's Consultant and any loss or
damage that may result from Borrowers' failure to prevail in such contest.
(d) No Borrower shall install or permit to be installed on
the Property any underground storage tank.
5.9 TITLE TO THE PROPERTY. Borrowers will warrant and defend the
title to the Property, and the validity and priority of all Liens granted or

5.10 LEASES.
5.10.1 GENERALLY. Upon request, Borrowers shall furnish Lender
with executed copies of all Leases then in effect (other than Leases that have
previously been furnished to Lender). All renewals of Leases and all proposed
leases shall provide for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local
market rates and shall be arm's length transactions with bona fide, independent
third-party tenants.
5.10.2 MATERIAL LEASES. No Borrower shall enter into a proposed
Material Lease or a proposed renewal, extension (other than a renewal or
extension that is being unilaterally exercised by a tenant pursuant to the terms
of an existing Lease, with respect to which Lender shall not have any consent
rights) or modification of an existing Material Lease without the prior written
consent of Lender, which consent shall not, so long as no Event of Default is
continuing, be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to seeking Lender's
consent to any Material Lease, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a copy of such
proposed lease (a "PROPOSED MATERIAL LEASE") blacklined to show changes from the
standard form of Lease approved by Lender and then being used by Borrowers.
Lender shall approve or disapprove each Proposed Material Lease or proposed
renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease for which
Lender's approval is required under this Agreement within 10 Business Days of
the submission by Borrowers to Lender of a written request for such approval,
accompanied by a final copy of the Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal,
extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. If requested by
Borrowers, Lender will grant conditional approvals of Proposed Material Leases
or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Material Leases at
any stage of the leasing process, from initial "term sheet" through negotiated
lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such
Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an
existing Material Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material
changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional
material terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved by
Lender in connection with such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal,
extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. Provided that no Event
of Default is continuing, if Borrowers provide Lender with a written request for
approval (which written request shall specifically refer to this Section 5.10.2
and shall explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove
within 10 Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender fails to
reject the request in writing delivered to Borrowers within 10 Business Days
after receipt by Lender of the request, the Proposed Material Lease or proposed
renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease shall be deemed
approved by Lender, and Borrowers shall be entitled to enter into such Proposed
Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing
Material Lease.
5.10.3 MINOR LEASES. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
5.10.2 above, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, renewals,
amendments and modifications of existing Leases and proposed leases shall not be
subject to the prior approval of Lender provided (i) the proposed lease would be
a Minor Lease or the existing Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease
is a Minor Lease, (ii) the proposed lease shall be written substantially in
accordance with the standard form of Lease which shall have been approved by
Lender, (iii) the Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease or series of
leases or proposed lease or series of leases: (a) shall provide for net

7. INSURANCE; CASUALTY; AND CONDEMNATION
7.1 INSURANCE.
7.1.1 COVERAGE. Borrowers, at their sole cost, for the mutual
benefit of each Borrower and Lender, shall obtain and maintain during the Term
the following policies of insurance:
(a) Property insurance insuring against loss or damage

have no exclusion from coverage with respect thereto) and such other insurable
hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time are insured
against for other property and buildings similar to the premises in nature, use,
location, height, and type of construction. Such insurance policy shall also
insure costs of demolition and increased cost of construction (which insurance
for demolition and increased cost of construction may contain a sub-limit

such tenant improvements in an amount to be subject to the consent of Lender,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Lender shall be named Loss
Payee on a Standard Mortgagee Endorsement.
(b) Flood insurance if any part of the Property is located
in an area now or hereafter designated by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as a Zone "A" & "V" Special Hazard Area, or such other Special Hazard
Area if Lender so requires in its sole discretion. Such policy shall (i) be in
an amount equal to the greater of (A) 100% of the full replacement cost of the
Improvements on the Property (without any deduction for depreciation) (B) the
maximum limit of coverage available and (ii) have a maximum permissible
deductible of $3,000.
(c) Public liability insurance, including (i) "Commercial
General Liability Insurance", (ii) "Owned", "Hired" and "Non Owned Auto
Liability"; and (iii) umbrella liability coverage for personal injury, bodily
injury, death, accident and property damage, such insurance
50
providing in combination no less than containing minimum limits per occurrence
of $2,000,000 and $4,000,000 in the aggregate for any policy year; together with
at least $25,000,000 excess and/or umbrella liability insurance for any and all
claims with no deductible. The policies described in this subsection shall also
include coverage for elevators, escalators, independent contractors,
"Contractual Liability" (covering, to the maximum extent permitted by law,
Borrower's obligation to indemnify Lender as required under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents), "Products" and "Completed Operations Liability"
coverage.
(d) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance (i)
with Lender being named as "Lender Loss Payee", (ii) in an amount equal to one
hundred percent (100%) of the projected Rents from the Property during the
period of restoration; and (iii) containing an extended period of indemnity
endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the 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
eighteen (18) 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. The amount of such insurance
shall be increased from time to time during the Term as and when the estimated
or actual Rents increase.
(e) Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance covering
all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and
improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and
betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the lease on a
replacement cost basis and in an amount equal to the greater of (i) $2,000,000
and (ii) 100% of the full replacement cost of the Improvements on the Property
(without any deduction for depreciation).
(f) Worker's compensation and disability insurance with
respect to any employees of Borrower, as required by any Legal Requirement.
(g) During any period of repair or restoration, builder's
"all-risk" insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable

and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may request, in
form and substance acceptable to Lender.
(h) Coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and
the increased cost of construction in an amount satisfactory to Lender.
(i) Such other insurance (including environmental liability
insurance, earthquake (but only if a future seismic study indicates a PML in
excess of 20%) insurance, mine subsidence insurance and windstorm insurance) as
may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its
interests.
(j) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a) above to the
contrary, Borrowers shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in the
property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by
terrorist acts provided that such coverage is available. Borrowers shall obtain
such coverage from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria
specified in Section 7.1.2 (a "QUALIFIED CARRIER") or in the event that such
coverage is not
51
available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrowers shall obtain such coverage from
the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage. If such coverage
with respect to terrorist acts is available as aforesaid, Borrowers shall obtain
and maintain such coverage in an amount equal to 100% of the "Full Replacement
Cost" of the Property. To the extent that the terrorism coverage required under
this Section 7.1.1(j) is not commercially available for the premium currently
being paid for such coverage, Borrowers shall nonetheless be required to obtain
such required terrorism coverage, provided that in no event shall Borrowers be
required to pay any Insurance Premiums with respect to the insurance coverage
required under this Section 7.1.1(j) in excess of the Terrorism Premium Cap
(hereinafter defined), provided further that, if the Insurance Premiums payable
with respect to such insurance coverage (or to the extent the required coverage
is part of a comprehensive all risk policy, the portion of the Insurance
Premiums allocable to such required coverage), exceeds the Terrorism Premium
Cap, Lender may, at its option (1) purchase such Policy, with Borrowers paying
such portion of the Insurance Premiums equal to the Terrorism Premium Cap and
the Lender paying such portion of the Insurance Premiums in excess of the
Terrorism Premium Cap or (2) modify the deductible amounts, policy limits and
other required policy terms to reduce the Insurance Premiums payable with
respect to such Policy (or to the extent the required coverage is part of a
comprehensive all risk policy, the portion of the Insurance Premiums allocable
to such required coverage) to the Terrorism Premium Cap. As used herein, (i)
"TERRORISM PREMIUM CAP" means an amount which is equal to 150% of the Insurance
Premiums presently being paid for the terrorism coverage required under this
Section 7.1.1(j), adjusted annually by a percentage equal to the increase in the
Consumer Price Index (hereinafter defined) in years subsequent to the date of
this Agreement and (ii) "CONSUMER PRICE Index" means the Consumer Price Index
for All Urban Consumers published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor, New York Metropolitan Statistical Area, All
Items (1982-84 = 100), or any successor index thereto, approximately adjusted,
and in the event that the Consumer Price Index is converted to a different
standard reference base or otherwise revised, the determination of adjustments
provided for herein shall be made with the use of such conversion factor,
formula or table for converting the Consumer Price Index as may be published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics or, if said Bureau shall not publish the same,
then with the use of such conversion factor, formula or table as may be
published by Xxxxxxxx-Xxxx, Inc., or any other nationally recognized publisher
of similar statistical information; and if the Consumer Price Index ceases to be
published, and there is no successor thereto (i) such other index as Lender and
Borrowers shall agree upon in writing or (ii) if Lender and Borrowers cannot
agree on a substitute index, such other index, as reasonably selected by Lender.
7.1.2 POLICIES. All policies of insurance (the "POLICIES")
required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 shall (i) be issued by companies approved by
Lender and licensed to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability
rating of "AA" or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency)
and a rating of A:X or better in the current Best's Insurance Reports; (ii) name
Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as the
mortgagee (in the case of property insurance) or an additional insured (in the
case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance)
a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender's Loss Payable
Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all
payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) contain a waiver of
subrogation against Lender; (v) be assigned and the originals thereof delivered
to Lender; (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or
desirable to protect its
52
interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither any Borrower, Lender
nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender
shall receive at least 30 days' prior written notice of any modification,
reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies, (C) an agreement whereby the
insurer waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender,
provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid
in order for a claim to be paid to the insured and (D) providing that Lender is
permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice
of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (vii) in the event any insurance
policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation
insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall
provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall
not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure
to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions
contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the
premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C)
any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any
provision of the Loan Documents; and (viii) be satisfactory in form and
substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage,
deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrowers shall pay the premiums for such
Policies (the "INSURANCE PREMIUMS") as the same become due and payable and
furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with
(unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section
3.3) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums
reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrowers do not furnish such evidence and
receipts at least 30 days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then
Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the
Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrowers shall reimburse Lender for the cost
of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the
Default Rate. Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy
within 30 days after its effective date. Within 30 days after request by Lender,
Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required
hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration
changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in
prudent customs and practices, and the like.
7.2 CASUALTY.
7.2.1 NOTICE; RESTORATION. If the Property is damaged or
destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a "CASUALTY"),
Borrowers shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence
of a Casualty, Borrowers, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are
available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the
Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and
of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.
7.2.2 SETTLEMENT OF PROCEEDS. If a Casualty covered by any of
the Policies (an "INSURED CASUALTY") occurs where the loss does not exceed
$250,000, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers
may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided
such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrowers
are hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the
"PROCEEDS"). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or
exceeds $250,000 (a "SIGNIFICANT CASUALTY"), Borrowers may settle and adjust any
claim with the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) unless either (i) an Event
53
of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the loss equals or exceeds
$1,000,000, in which either such case Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle
and adjust any claim without the consent of any Borrower and agree with the
insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due
and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation
Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If any Borrower or any party
other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to
a Significant Casualty, such Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all
such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled
with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The
expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the
Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrowers to
Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under the
Property insurance Policy that Borrowers propose be treated as business or
rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of
designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as
between Lender and Borrowers, such payment shall not be treated as business or
rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrowers have demonstrated to
Lender's satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from
the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully
restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay
the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds
will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.
7.3 CONDEMNATION.
7.3.1 NOTICE; RESTORATION. Borrowers shall promptly give
Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or
eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a "CONDEMNATION") and shall
deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such
Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrowers, regardless
of whether an Award is available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair,
replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the
extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same
character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
7.3.2 COLLECTION OF AWARD. If a Condemnation occurs where the
award or payment in respect thereof (an "Award") does not exceed $250,000 or
which results in the taking of 5% or less of the Property, provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrowers may make any compromise,
adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior
consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided such adjustment is
carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrowers are hereby
authorized to collect and receipt for the Award. In the event of a Condemnation
where the Award is in excess of $250,000 or which results in the taking of more
than 5% of the Property, Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrowers'
attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect,
receive and retain such Award and to make any compromise, adjustment or
settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of
Borrowers (unless an Event of Default is continuing, in which case, Borrowers'
prior consent shall not be required), not to be unreasonably withheld (which
shall be deemed consented to if Borrowers fail to respond to any request for
consent therefor within 10 days' of request).
54
Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at
the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt
shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually
received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to
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 in the Note. If the Property is
sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such
Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the
Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to
receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrowers
shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender.
Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and
disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.
7.4 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS OR AWARD.
7.4.1 APPLICATION TO RESTORATION. If an Insured Casualty or
Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than the
25% of the unpaid Principal, (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the
Property can be restored within nine months after all applicable restoration
permits have been obtained, and prior to six months before the Stated Maturity
Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption
insurance with respect thereto, to the Property's pre-existing condition and
utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation
and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was
immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such
restoration will adequately secure the Debt and (iii) no Event of Default shall
have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the
case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be
applied to pay for or reimburse Borrowers for the cost of restoring, repairing,
replacing or rebuilding the Property (the "RESTORATION"), in the manner set
forth herein. Borrowers shall commence and diligently prosecute such
Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be
obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse any Borrower for the cost
of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions,
both (x) Borrowers shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrowers shall deposit
with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net
amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof;
and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that
during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the
sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service, as reasonably determined by
Lender.
7.4.2 APPLICATION TO DEBT. Except as provided in Section
7.4.1, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion,
be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii)
the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of
the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrowers for the cost of any
Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3. Any such prepayment of
the Loan shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received
from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning
authority, as the case may be, in which event Borrowers shall pay to Lender an
additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be
55
required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the
unpaid Principal. After any such application to the Debt, the unpaid Principal
shall be reamortized over the remaining Amortization Schedule. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Proceeds or Award are not
required to be made available for a Restoration and are retained and applied by
Lender toward the payment of the Debt, Borrowers may prepay the entire
outstanding Principal without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium provided
that (x) such prepayment is made within 90 days after Lender applies such
Proceeds or Award to the Debt and (y) together with such prepayment, Borrowers
pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums payable under
the Loan Documents.
7.4.3 PROCEDURE FOR APPLICATION TO RESTORATION. If any
Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by
Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the
Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence
satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration,
(ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for
Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of
Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or
Award that in Lender's judgment are required to complete the proposed
Restoration, (iv) such architect's certificates, waivers of lien, contractor's
sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits,
approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably
require and approve in Lender's discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications
for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender
prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrowers' expense, retain a
consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval
shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior
to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed 90% of the value of the
work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall
be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times,
the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of
Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed
to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers for that purpose,
shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the
cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for
Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that
remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of
Restoration shall be paid to Borrowers. Any surplus that remains out of the
Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in
the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the
Debt or returned to Borrowers.
8. DEFAULTS
8.1 EVENTS OF DEFAULT. An "Event of Default" shall exist with
respect to the Loan if any of the following shall occur:
(a) any portion of the Debt is not paid when due or any
other amount under Section 3.12(a)(i) through (vii) is not paid in full on each
Payment Date (provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit
Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such
funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of
Default);
56
(b) any of the Taxes are not paid when due (unless Lender is
paying such Taxes pursuant to Section 3.3), subject to Borrowers' right to
contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2;
(c) the Policies are not kept in full force and effect, or
are not delivered to Lender pursuant to Section 7.1.2(v) within 10 days after
request;

in any material respect as of the date the representation or warranty was made;
(f) any Borrower or Guarantor shall make an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or shall generally not be paying its debts as they
become due; provided that so long as no other Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, an assignment for the benefit of creditors by any
one Guarantor (other than Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC or Xxxxxx X.
Xxxxxxxxx) shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if the tenant-in-common
ownership interest indirectly owned by such Guarantor is purchased by any
Borrower (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations contained in this
Agreement) within 30 days of such assignment in accordance with Section 9.1 of
the Tenant in Common Agreement, and the owner/guarantor of such purchasing
Borrower reaffirms its obligations under its Guaranty of Recourse Obligations in
connection therewith;
(g) a receiver, liquidator or trustee shall be appointed for
any Borrower or Guarantor; or any Borrower or Guarantor shall be adjudicated a
bankrupt or insolvent; or 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, any
Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may be; or any proceeding for the dissolution
or liquidation of any Borrower or Guarantor shall be instituted; provided,
however, (i) if such appointment, adjudication, petition or proceeding was
involuntary and not consented to by such Borrower or Guarantor, as the case may
be, only upon the same not being discharged, stayed or dismissed within 60 days
and (ii) so long as no other Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the occurrence of any event described in this subsection (g) with
respect to any one Guarantor (other than Behringer Harvard Holdings, LLC or
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxx) shall not be an Event of Default hereunder if the
tenant-in-common ownership interest indirectly owned by such Guarantor is
purchased by any Borrower (subject to the terms, conditions and limitations
contained in this Agreement) within 30 days of the occurrence of such event in
accordance with Section 9.1 of the Tenant in Common Agreement, and the
owner/guarantor of such purchasing Borrower reaffirms its obligations under its
Guaranty of Recourse Obligations in connection therewith;
(h) any Borrower breaches any covenant contained in Sections
5.12.1 (a) - (f), 5.13, 5.15, 5.22, 5.25, 5.28 or 5.31;
57
(i) except as expressly permitted hereunder, the alteration,
improvement, demolition or removal of all or any of portion of the Improvements
without the prior written consent of Lender (if such consent is required
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement);
(j) an Event of Default as defined or described elsewhere in
this Agreement or in any other Loan Document occurs; or any other event shall
occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to
accelerate or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the
Debt;
(k) a default occurs under any term, covenant or provision
set forth herein or in any other Loan Document which specifically contains a
notice requirement or grace period and such notice has been given and such grace
period has expired;
(l) any of the assumptions contained in any substantive
non-consolidation opinion, delivered to Lender by Borrowers' counsel in
connection with the Loan or otherwise hereunder, were not true and correct as of
the date of such opinion or thereafter became untrue or incorrect;
(m) if Key Principal fails to Control (as defined in clause
(ii) of the defined term "Control" in Section 1.1) the Manager and the day to
day management and operations of the Property (unless the Manager is replaced
with a successor manager in accordance with and subject to satisfaction of the
terms and conditions set forth in Section 5.12.2); or
(n) a default shall be continuing under any of the other
terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document not
otherwise specified in this Section 8.1, for ten days after notice to Borrowers
(and Guarantor, if applicable) from Lender, in the case of any default which can
be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for 30 days after notice from
Lender in the case of any other default; provided, however, that if such
non-monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured
within such 30-day period, and Borrowers (or Guarantor, if applicable) shall
have commenced to cure such default within such 30-day period and thereafter
diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such 30-day period shall
be extended for an additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for
Borrowers (or Guarantor, if applicable) in the exercise of due diligence to cure
such default, such additional period not to exceed 60 days.
8.2 REMEDIES.
8.2.1 ACCELERATION. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in
paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time
thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, in addition to any
other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the 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 any or all
Borrowers and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be
immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate
58
interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts
owing by Borrowers), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default
described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid
interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium
and any other amounts owing by Borrowers) shall immediately and automatically
become due and payable, without notice or demand, and each Borrower hereby
expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan
Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights,
powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers
under the Loan Documents 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, or be automatically, 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. 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 discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender
permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower agrees that if
an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable
law, 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, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the
Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the
Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable
law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring
Lender to resort to any particular Property or any portion of the Property for
the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other
portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part
thereof, in its discretion.
8.2.3 SEVERANCE. 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 in such denominations and
priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for
purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Each 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. Each
Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and
lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and
execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, each
Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
8.2.4 DELAY. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy,
right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any
indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power
hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to
be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or
preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the
59
foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any
portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other
collateral.
8.2.5 LENDER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM. If any Borrower fails to
perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall
continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrowers' receipt of written
notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender's right to
exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under
any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to,
perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs,
expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in
connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and if
not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under
applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall
bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to any Borrower of any such
failure. Additionally, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender
shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any Protective Advance
(hereinafter defined) (provided, however, that Lender will only make such
Protective Advance from its own funds if there are insufficient funds in the
Cash Management Accounts), and the same shall be added to the Debt (and to the
extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan
Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. As used
herein, "PROTECTIVE ADVANCE" means all sums advanced for the purpose of payment
of real estate taxes (including special payments in lieu of real estate taxes),
maintenance costs, insurance premiums, operating expenses, trade payables or
other items with respect to the Property (including capital items) reasonably
necessary to protect the Property or any other security given for the Loan or to
preserve any of Lender's rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.
9. SPECIAL PROVISIONS
9.1 SALE OF NOTE AND SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION.
9.1.1 GENERAL; BORROWER COOPERATION. Lender shall have the
right at any time and from time to time (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the
Loan or any portion thereof or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one
or more investors, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan to one or
more investors or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a
single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization of rated single or
multi-class securities (the "SECURITIES") secured by or evidencing ownership
interests in the Note and the Mortgage (each such sale, assignment,
participation and/or securitization is referred to herein as a "SECONDARY MARKET
TRANSACTION"). In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrowers
shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with
Lender and otherwise assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which
Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the
marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Secondary
Market Transactions, including: (a) to (i) provide such financial and other
information with respect to the Property, Borrowers and their Affiliates,
Manager and any tenants of the Property, (ii) provide business plans and budgets
relating to the Property and (iii) perform or permit or cause to be performed or
permitted such site inspection, appraisals, surveys, market studies,
environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence
investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested from time to time
by Lender or
60
the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with a
Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to
Lender pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (a) being called the
"PROVIDED INFORMATION"), together, if customary, with appropriate verification
of and/or consents to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or
opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating
Agencies; (b) at Borrowers' expense, cause counsel to render opinions as to
non-consolidation (which may be an update of an existing non-consolidation
opinion) and any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with
respect to the Property, Borrowers and their Affiliates, which counsel and
opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (c)
make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of any Secondary
Market Transaction with respect to the Property, Borrowers and the Loan
Documents as are customarily provided in such transactions and as may be
reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the
facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date
thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan
Documents; (d) provide current certificates of good standing and qualification
with respect to Borrowers from appropriate Governmental Authorities; and (e)
execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrowers' organizational
documents, as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to
effect a Secondary Market Transaction, provided that nothing contained in this
subsection (e) shall result in changes to Loan terms adverse to Borrowers or
require Borrowers to incur any additional liabilities. Borrowers' cooperation
obligations set forth herein shall continue until the Loan has been paid in
full.
9.1.2 USE OF INFORMATION. Borrowers understand that all or any
portion of the Provided Information and the Required Records may be included in
disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction,
including a prospectus 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 or other parties
relating to the Secondary Market Transaction. If the Disclosure Document is
required to be revised, Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender in updating the
Provided Information or Required Records for inclusion or summary in the
Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a
Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to
Borrowers, Manager and the Property necessary to keep the Disclosure Document
accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.
9.1.3 BORROWER OBLIGATIONS REGARDING DISCLOSURE DOCUMENTS. In
connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrowers' Designee (on behalf of
Borrowers) shall: (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrowers
have carefully examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining
to Borrowers, the Property Manager and the Loan, and that such portions do not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in
a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any
underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the
"UNDERWRITERS") retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the
"ISSUER") in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender and
61
(iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration
statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the "REGISTRATION
STATEMENT"), and each of the Issuer's directors, each of its officers who have
signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the
Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or
Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within (iii), the "GCM GROUP"), and
each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters,
within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the
Exchange Act (collectively, the "UNDERWRITER GROUP") for any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (the "LIABILITIES") to which Lender, the GCM Group or the
Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any
legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or
defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Provided
Information or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the
Disclosure Document applicable to Borrowers, Manager, the Property or the Loan,
or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary
in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided,
however, that Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any
Liabilities relating to (i) untrue statements or omissions which Borrowers
identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrowers' examination of such
Disclosure Document or (ii) any information or document not provided to or
certified by Borrowers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 9.1.3, nothing contained herein shall impose liability upon
Borrowers for any losses, claims, damages or liability arising out of or based
upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in any statement, report
or document provided to Lender on behalf of Borrowers by a party who is not an
Affiliate of a Borrower (a "THIRD PARTY REPORT"), unless Borrowers had actual
knowledge at the time Borrowers provided such statement, report or document to
Lender that such Third Party Report contains such untrue statement.
9.1.4 BORROWER INDEMNITY REGARDING FILINGS. In connection with
filings under the Exchange Act, Borrowers shall (i) indemnify Lender, the GCM
Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the GCM
Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities
arise out of or are based upon the omission to state in the Provided Information
a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to
make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the GCM
Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred
by Lender, GCM Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or
investigating the Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 9.1.4, nothing contained herein shall impose liability
upon Borrowers for any Liabilities arising out of or based upon an untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Third Party Report, unless
Borrowers had actual knowledge at the time Borrowers provided such statement,
report or document to Lender that such Third Party Report contains such untrue
statement.
9.1.5 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURE. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under Section 9.1.3 or 9.1.4 of notice of the commencement of
any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against
Borrowers, such indemnified party shall notify Borrowers in writing of such
commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrowers will not
62
relieve Borrowers from any liability that they may have to any indemnified party
hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to
Borrowers. If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it
notifies Borrowers of the commencement thereof, Borrowers will be entitled,
jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the
extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement,
to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified
party in its discretion. After notice from Borrowers to such indemnified party
under this Section 9.1.5, Borrowers shall not be responsible for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided,
however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrowers and an
indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded
that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified
parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrowers,
then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate
counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the
defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrowers
shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless
there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional
to those available to another indemnified party.
9.1.6 CONTRIBUTION. In order to provide for just and equitable
contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in
Section 9.1.3 or 9.1.4 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an
indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof)
referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.1.3
or 9.1.4, Borrowers shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the
indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect
thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the
respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i)
the GCM Group's and Borrowers' relative knowledge and access to information
concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the
opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any
other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and
Borrowers hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such
contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
9.1.7 SEVERANCE OF LOAN. Lender shall have the right, at any
time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market
Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split
and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without
limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be
split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and
subordinate notes (I.E., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple
components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal
balance of the Loan among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into
two or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or
membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrowers (I.E., a senior
loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and
whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each such instance
the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or
components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such
modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately
prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for
all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective
date of such
63
modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to
such modification. If requested by Lender, Borrowers (and Borrowers' constituent
members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within seven (7) Business
Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to
evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.
9.2 COSTS AND EXPENSES. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Article 9, Borrowers shall not be required to incur
out-of-pocket expenses in the performance of their obligations under Sections
9.1.1 (other than with respect to the delivery or update of non-consolidation
opinions), 9.1.2 and clause (a) of Section 9.1.3 and 9.1.7.
10. MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 EXCULPATION. (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender
shall not enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower to perform and
observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or
proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against such 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 and rights under the Loan Documents, or in
the Property, the Rents 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 a
Borrower only to the extent of such Borrower's interest in the Property, in the
Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not xxx for,
seek or demand any deficiency judgment against a Borrower in any such action or
proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan
Document. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a
waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan
Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name one or more Borrowers as a
party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the
Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan
Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights
and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the
appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of
Leases; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other
appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the
security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the
Property; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the
liability and obligation of Borrowers, 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)
(collectively, "LENDER'S LOSSES") arising out of or in connection with the
following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the
following being referred to herein as "BORROWERS' RECOURSE LIABILITIES"): (a)
fraud or intentional misrepresentation by any Borrower, or Guarantor in
connection with obtaining the Loan; (b) physical waste of the Property or any
portion thereof (other than acts committed by a third party non-affiliated
property manager), or after an Event of Default the removal or disposal of any
portion of the Property (other than acts committed by a third party
non-affiliated property manager); (c) any Proceeds paid by reason of any Insured
Casualty or any Award received in connection with a Condemnation or other sums
or payments attributable to
64
the Property not applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents
(other than acts committed by a third party non-affiliated property manager)
(except to the extent that a Borrower did not have the legal right, because of a
bankruptcy, receivership or similar judicial proceeding, to direct disbursement
of such sums or payments); (d) all Rents of the Property received or collected
by or on behalf of any Borrower after an Event of Default and not applied to
payment of Principal and interest due under the Note, and to the payment of
actual and reasonable operating expenses of the Property, as they become due or
payable (other than acts committed by a third party non-affiliated property
manager) (except to the extent that such application of such funds is prevented
by bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding in which such
Borrower is legally prevented from directing the disbursement of such sums); (e)
misappropriation (including failure to turn over to Lender on demand following
an Event of Default) of tenant security deposits and rents collected in advance,
or of funds held by any Borrower for the benefit of another party (other than
acts committed by a third party non-affiliated property manager); (f) the
failure to pay Taxes, provided Borrowers shall not be liable (A) to the extent
funds to pay such amounts are available in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount and
Lender failed to pay same or has elected not to pay the same pursuant to Section
3.3 or (B) Rents are insufficient to yield sufficient funds to pay such amounts;
(g) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification in
any Loan Document concerning Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances,
including Sections 4.21 and 5.8, and clauses (viii) through (xi) of Section
5.30; (h) the breach of the covenants set forth in Section 5.13; (i) any
Borrower or any Guarantor of such Borrower or any of their direct or indirect
Affiliates taking any action or making any omission intended or reasonably
likely to hinder, delay, impair or prevent Lender in or from enforcing any and
all of its rights and remedies under or pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law
or in equity (unless the same is brought in good faith and is determined in
favor of such Borrower or Guarantor pursuant to a final, non-appealable judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction); (j) the termination of the Management
Agreement or the removal of Behringer Harvard TIC Management Services, L.P. as
property manager thereunder without Lender's consent (provided that only the
Borrower(s) that voted in favor of such termination or removal shall be liable
for such losses); or (k) subject to the next succeeding sentence, the failure by
any Borrower to consent to a modification of the terms of the Loan after a
minimum of other Borrowers representing a collective 66% tenancy in common
interest in the Property (as such percentage shall be automatically increased by
each percentage point by which the Behringer Minimum Tenant-in-Common Interest
exceeds 5%) have approved the same. For purposes of the foregoing clause (k),
Lender's Losses with respect to the occurrence of any event giving rise to such
matter (A) shall be deemed to be equal to any unpaid portion of the Debt that
remains outstanding after Lender completes its realization with respect to the
Property (and all of its other collateral for the Loan pursuant to any of the
Loan Documents) and applies the proceeds of such realization to the Debt and (B)
Lender's Losses with respect to any applicable Borrower shall be limited to an
amount equal to the product of (1) the original principal amount of the Loan and
(2) the applicable Borrower's respective undivided tenant in common interest in
the Property (expressed as a percentage).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have
waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or
any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full
amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure
all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender's
agreement not
65
to pursue personal liability of Borrowers as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL
AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be
fully recourse to the applicable Borrower or Borrowers in an amount equal to the
greater of (x) Lender's Losses arising out of or in connection with the
following matters or (y) an amount equal to the product of (1) the unpaid
balance of the Debt and (2) the applicable Borrower's respective undivided
tenant in common interest in the Property (expressed as a percentage), in the
event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a "SPRINGING RECOURSE
EVENT"): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) shall have
occurred, (ii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in either
Section 8.1(f) or Section 8.1(g) (each, an "INSOLVENCY ACTION") and, with
respect to such Insolvency Action described in Section 8.1(g), either any
Borrower, Guarantor or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in
any Borrower, or Guarantor consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise
cooperates or colludes to cause such Insolvency Action or fails to contest such
Insolvency Action, except in the event that any such party has a fiduciary or
legal duty to take such action, (iii) any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is
brought by any Borrower or its Guarantor or any of such Borrower's or its
Guarantor's Affiliates against any other Borrower; (iv) if subsequent to the
commencement of any voluntary bankruptcy proceeding with respect to any
Borrower, any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is brought by Lender against one
or more Borrowers and any Borrower or such Borrower's Guarantor files any motion
contesting the same; or (v) any Borrower, such Borrower's Guarantor or any
Affiliate of such Borrower brings or joins in any action or proceeding for the
partition of the Property or any portion thereof or interest therein.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
10.1 or in any Loan Document, Lender hereby agrees that (1) with respect to the
matters described in clauses (a) through (f), (h), (i), (j) and (k) of
Borrowers' Recourse Liabilities, each TIC Borrower shall be liable for its own
acts, and no TIC Borrower (or any other Borrower) shall be liable for such
Borrowers' Recourse Liabilities occasioned as a result of the acts of any other
Borrower (or property manager) and (2) with respect to the matters described
clauses (i) through (v) of the Springing Recourse Events, if any such Springing
Recourse Event is caused by one or more TIC Borrowers, then only such TIC
Borrower or TIC Borrowers (and such TIC Borrower's or TIC Borrowers' Guarantor
or Guarantors (as applicable)) shall have the liability set forth in clause (b)
above, and no other TIC Borrower (or any other Borrower) shall be liable as a
result of such matter.
10.2 BROKERS AND FINANCIAL ADVISORS. Each Borrower hereby represents
that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement
agents, agents or finders in connection with the Loan, other than NorthMarq
Capital, Inc., whose fee shall be paid by Borrowers. Borrowers shall indemnify
and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs
and expenses (including attorneys' fees, whether incurred in connection with
enforcing this indemnity or defending claims of third parties) of any kind in
any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted
on behalf of Borrowers in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
The provisions of this Section 10.2 shall survive the expiration and termination
of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
10.3 RETENTION OF SERVICER. Lender reserves the right to retain the
Servicer to act as its agent hereunder with such powers as are specifically
delegated to the Servicer by Lender, whether pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, any pooling and servicing agreement or similar
66
agreement entered into as a result of a Secondary Market Transaction, the
Deposit Account Agreement or otherwise, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Borrowers shall pay any reasonable fees and
expenses of the Servicer in connection with a release of the Property,
assumption or modification of the Loan, enforcement of the Loan Documents or any
other action taken by Servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender, to the extent such
actions are permitted to be taken pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents,
but only to the extent that Borrowers are expressly required to pay such
expenses pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
10.4 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 any of the Debt is unpaid or such longer period if expressly set
forth in this Agreement. All Borrowers' covenants and agreements in this
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives,
successors and assigns of Lender.
10.5 LENDER'S DISCRETION. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or
disapprove, or consent or withhold consent, or any arrangement or term is to be
satisfactory to Lender or is to be in Lender's discretion, the decision of
Lender to approve or disapprove, to consent or withhold consent, or to decide
whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, or
acceptable or unacceptable or in Lender's discretion shall (except as is
otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and
shall be final and conclusive.

SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF THE STATE IN WHICH
THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH STATE, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL
GOVERN THE VALIDITY AND THE ENFORCEABILITY OF ALL LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE DEBT.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH BORROWER HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION
GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE, AND THIS AGREEMENT AND THE NOTE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
67
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO ss. 5-1401
OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW.
(b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR
ANY BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN
ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK AND EACH BORROWER WAIVES
ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY
SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO
THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH
BORROWER DOES HEREBY DESIGNATE AND APPOINT FULBRIGHT & XXXXXXXX L.L.P., 000
XXXXX XXXXXX, XXX XXXX, XXX XXXX 00000, ATTENTION: XXXXXXX X. XXXXXX, ESQ. AS
ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT TO ACCEPT AND ACKNOWLEDGE ON ITS BEHALF SERVICE OF ANY AND
ALL PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY
FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS

NOTICE TO LENDER OF ANY CHANGED ADDRESS OF ITS AUTHORIZED AGENT HEREUNDER, (ii)

10.7 MODIFICATION, WAIVER IN WRITING. No modification, amendment,
extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement
or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Borrower
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing
signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose,
for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or
demand on any Borrower shall entitle any Borrower to any other or future notice
or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 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 any other Loan Document, shall operate as or
constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof
preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power,
remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting
payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender
shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment
when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an
Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.
68

ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER
ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS
GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO
ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE
A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER
BY THE OTHER.
10.9 HEADINGS/EXHIBITS. The Section headings in this Agreement are
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are
hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force
and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
10.10 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.
10.11 PREFERENCES. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of
Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply any and
all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrowers
make a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which
is in whole or part 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
Debt 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. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
10.12 WAIVER OF NOTICE. No Borrower shall be entitled to any notices
of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which
this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires
the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower and except with respect to
matters for which such Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal
Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Each Borrower hereby
expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any
matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving
of notice by Lender to such Borrower.
10.13 REMEDIES OF BORROWER. If a claim or adjudication is made that
Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or
unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document,
Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act
reasonably or promptly, Borrowers agree that neither Lender nor its agents,
69
including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrowers'
sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or
declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has
acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Each Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents,
including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on
Borrowers' behalf.
10.14 PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements,
understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
10.15 OFFSETS, COUNTERCLAIMS AND DEFENSES. Each Borrower hereby waives
the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any
action or proceeding brought against one or more Borrowers by Lender or its
agents, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments
required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender's interest in and to
the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets,
counterclaims or defenses which one or more Borrowers may otherwise have against
any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense
shall be interposed or asserted by one or more Borrowers in any action or
proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right
to interpose or assert any such offset, counterclaim or defense in any such
action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrowers.
10.16 PUBLICITY. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any
Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general
public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of
the GCM Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary
Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender;
provided however, that Lender's consent shall not be required by any Borrower,
Borrower's Affiliates, or any broker dealer or investor representative related
to the marketing or sale of any investment fund or investment trust managed by
Borrower's Affiliates which disclosure is required under the Securities Act of
1933 or 1934 or to any potential purchaser of an interest in the Property.
Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without any Borrower's
approval.
10.17 NO USURY. Borrowers and Lender intend at all times to comply
with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent
that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a
greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17
shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law
(state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any
amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for,
charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender's
exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment
by Borrowers results in Borrowers having paid any interest in excess of that
permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrowers' and Lender's express intent
that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited
against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or
would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrowers), and the provisions of the
Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the
70
amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to
permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All
sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention
of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan
until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the
Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and
applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention
of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the
time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such
acceleration.
10.18 CONFLICT; CONSTRUCTION OF DOCUMENTS. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan
Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto
acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the
negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall
not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party
that drafted them.
10.19 NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES. The Loan Documents are solely for
the benefit of Lender and Borrowers and nothing contained in any Loan Document
shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrowers any
right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the
obligations contained therein.
10.20 YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM. Borrowers acknowledge that (a) Lender
is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and
other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if
payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for
any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender's acceleration
of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender
will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition,
incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrowers
agree that, except as expressly provided in Section 7, all prepayments, if any,
whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance
Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is
made by one or more Borrowers, by a Person on behalf of one or more Borrowers,
or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by
Lender at such sale. Borrowers further acknowledge that (A) they are
knowledgeable real estate developers and/or investors; (B) they fully understand
the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other
provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the
Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient
consideration for Borrowers' obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if
required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein
without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrowers also acknowledge that the
provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for
the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein
were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific
material part of the consideration given by Borrowers to Lender for the making
of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.
71
10.21 ASSIGNMENT. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or
Lender's rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by
Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its
discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a
merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all
references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be
deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or
successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. No Borrower
may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement
or under any of the Loan Documents.
10.22 BORROWERS' DESIGNEE. Each of the Borrowers hereby authorizes,
designates and directs Borrowers' Designee to give Lender directions of any
kind, to take the actions or make such deliveries specified herein to be taken
or delivered by Borrowers' Designee (including under Sections 5.11, 6.3 and 9.1,
and including with respect to any requisitions from any reserve accounts under
Article 3) and to give and receive notices of any kind on behalf of such
Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any notice
given by Lender to Borrowers' Designee shall be deemed to have been given to
each and every Borrower.
10.23 JOINT AND SEVERAL. Except to the extent expressly provided
otherwise in the Loan Documents, each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and
severally liable for payment of the Debt and performance of all other
obligations of Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.
10.24 SET-OFF. IN ADDITION TO ANY RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER
PROVIDED BY THIS LOAN AGREEMENT AND BY LAW, LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, WITHOUT
PRIOR NOTICE TO ANY BORROWER, ANY SUCH NOTICE BEING EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY EACH
BORROWER TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UPON ANY AMOUNT BECOMING DUE
AND PAYABLE BY ANY BORROWER HEREUNDER (WHETHER AT THE STATED MATURITY, BY
ACCELERATION OR OTHERWISE) TO SET-OFF AND APPROPRIATE AND APPLY AGAINST SUCH
AMOUNT ANY AND ALL DEPOSITS (GENERAL OR SPECIAL, TIME OR DEMAND, PROVISIONAL OR
FINAL), IN ANY CURRENCY, AND ANY OTHER CREDITS, INDEBTEDNESS OR CLAIMS, IN ANY
CURRENCY, IN EACH CASE WHETHER DIRECT OR INDIRECT, ABSOLUTE OR CONTINGENT,
MATURED OR UNMATURED, AT ANY TIME HELD OR OWING BY LENDER OR ANY AFFILIATE
THEREOF TO OR FOR THE CREDIT OR THE ACCOUNT OF BORROWERS. LENDER AGREES PROMPTLY
TO NOTIFY BORROWERS AFTER ANY SUCH SET-OFF AND APPLICATION MADE BY LENDER;
PROVIDED THAT THE FAILURE TO GIVE SUCH NOTICE SHALL NOT AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF
SUCH SET-OFF AND APPLICATION.
10.25 1031 EXCHANGE. Borrowers acknowledge that they have established
a tenancy in common ownership structure for the Property in order to, among
other things, obtain certain tax benefits afforded under the provisions of
Section 1031 of the Code. Each Borrower expressly acknowledges that, together
with its own professional advisors and legal counsel, it has performed its own
due diligence and legal analysis relating to a tenancy in common ownership
structure and to the financial, tax, legal and other issues as it had deemed
necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision to purchase a
tenancy in common interest in the Property. Each Borrower expressly acknowledges
that Lender has not acted in any way whatsoever as an advisor to any Borrower
with respect to the foregoing and agrees that Lender shall have no
responsibility or express or implied liability whatsoever with respect to any of
the foregoing.
72
10.26 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original,
but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
