ARTICLE II - GENERAL TERMS
Section 2.1 Loan Commitment; Disbursement to Borrower.
2.1.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.
2.1.2 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one (1) borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid or defeased hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Loan has been fully funded as of the Closing Date.
2.1.3 The Note, Mortgage and Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.
2.1.4 Use of Proceeds.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Accrual Period by (b) a daily rate based on the Interest Rate and a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan.
2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, all accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the Loan and any other amounts

2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payment.
2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payments. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan for the initial Accrual Period (unless the Closing Date is the first calendar day of a month, in which event, no interest payment shall be due on the Closing Date), and (b) on October 1, 2015 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Accrual Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date.

equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum and the Maximum Legal Rate in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
Section 2.4 Prepayments.
2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments.
(a)Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.
(b)Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on the Permitted Par Prepayment Date, and on any Business Day thereafter through the Maturity Date, Borrower may, at its option, prepay the Debt in full (but not in part) without payment of any yield maintenance or other or premium; provided, however, if for any reason such prepayment is not paid on a regularly scheduled Payment Date, the Debt shall include interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs. Borrower’s right to prepay the principal balance of the Loan in full pursuant to this subsection shall be subject to (i) Borrower’s submission of a notice to Lender setting forth the projected date of prepayment, which date shall be no less than thirty (30) days from the date of such notice, and (ii) Borrower’s actual payment to Lender of the full amount of the Debt, including interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs.
2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower authorizes Lender, at Lender’s option, to apply Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion. Other than following an Event of Default, no yield maintenance premium or other premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt
Service Payment and (b) deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Default Premium which can be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion.
2.4.4 Prepayment Prior to Permitted Defeasance Date. If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Permitted Defeasance Date has not occurred, and provided no Event of Default exists, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the Permitted Defeasance Date upon not less than thirty (30) days and not more than ninety (90) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the projected date of prepayment and upon payment of an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium. Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration. If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the projected date of prepayment. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith. If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, interest for the full Accrual Period during which the prepayment occurs.
Section 2.5 Defeasance.
2.5.1 Voluntary Defeasance.
(a)Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Permitted Defeasance Date and prior to the Permitted Par Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Defeasance Event”):

The amount of such business income or rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross revenues from the applicable Property for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.7.1 hereof, all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iii)at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) Owner’s and Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(x)an environmental insurance policy in an amount reasonably required by Lender at Closing, with a term of not less than ten (10) years and in form and substance acceptable to Lender at Closing (the “Environmental Insurance Policy”), which policy shall be maintained so long as the Debt is outstanding; and
(xi)upon sixty (60) days written notice, such other reasonable insurance, including, but not limited to, sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b)All insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) S&P, (ii) Fitch, if Fitch is rating the Securities, and (iii) Moody’s, if Moody’s is rating the Securities. If four or fewer insurance companies issue the policies, then at least 75% of the insurance coverage represented by the policies must be provided by insurance companies with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, and the equivalent by each of Fitch and Moody’s to the extent each such Rating Agency is rating the Securities, with no carrier below “BBB” by S&P and the equivalent by each of Fitch and Moody’s, to the extent each such Rating Agency is rating the Securities. If five (5) or more insurance companies issue the policies, then at least sixty percent (60%) of the insurance coverage represented by the policies must be provided by insurance companies with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P, and the equivalent by each of Fitch and Moody’s to the extent each such Rating Agency is rating the Securities, with no carrier below “BBB” by S&P and the equivalent by each of Fitch and Moody’s to the extent each such Rating Agency is rating the Securities. For the purposes of determining satisfaction of the foregoing required Fitch and Moody’s rating for the insurance companies, it is agreed that Borrower may maintain the insurance coverage described in and required by Section 6.1(a) with the insurers under the Policies that are not rated with Fitch or Moody’s as of the Closing Date, provided that such insurers maintain no less than the claims paying ability rating applicable thereto with AM Best and the Rating Agencies in effect on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower shall be permitted to continue to utilize Ironshore Insurance Ltd, Starr Insurance & Reinsurance Limited and Hamilton Re, Ltd in their current participation amounts and positions within the syndicate under
Borrower’s current umbrella liability Policies as of Closing that are not rated with S&P (“Otherwise Rated Insurers”); provided that, (1) Borrower shall replace the Otherwise Rated Insurers at renewal with insurance companies meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove and (2) if, prior to renewal, the current AM Best or other Rating Agency rating of any such Otherwise Rated Insurer is withdrawn or downgraded, Borrower shall replace any Otherwise Rated Insurer with an insurance company meeting the rating requirements set forth hereinabove. The Policies described in Section 6.1 hereof (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as mortgagee and loss payee. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (and complete copies of the Policies upon request by Lender) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(c)Any blanket insurance Policy shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a) hereof, subject to review and approval by Lender based on the schedule of locations and values, portfolio PML reports for the catastrophic perils of earthquake and windstorm/named storm, and such other information as requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Borrower have less coverage than exists as of the Closing Date unless there is a corresponding proportionate reduction in the values of the locations covered under the policy. Borrower shall notify Lender of any material changes to the blanket policy and associated limits under the policy as of Closing Date or an aggregation of the insured values covered under the blanket policy, including the reduction of earthquake, flood or wind/named storm limits or the addition of locations that are subject to the perils of earthquake, flood or wind/named storm, and such changes shall be subject Lender’s approval.
(d)All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a) hereof, shall name Borrower as a named insured and, with respect to liability Policies, except for the Policies referenced in Section 6.1(a)(vi) and (vii) of this Agreement, shall name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage policies, including but not limited to terrorism, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender and its successors and/or assigns, providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender as its interests may appear.
(e)All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)With respect to property damage Policies (1) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned and (2) the Policy shall nto
be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium;
(ii)With respect to all other Policies, if available using commercially reasonable efforts, the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days (except ten (10) days’ written notice for non-payment of premium) written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii)intentionally omitted; and
(iv)Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f)If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate after three (3) Business Days’ notice to Borrower if prior to the date upon which any such coverage will lapse or at any time Lender deems necessary (regardless of prior notice to Borrower) to avoid the lapse of any such coverage. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
Section 6.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of such Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $100,000.00 and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
Section 6.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of any Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. If Lender shall determine that the amount of the Award will be equal to or greater than $100,000.00, then Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through
Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Property pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 hereof. If the applicable Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.3, and Section 6.4 hereof, if the Loan or any portion thereof is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage in connection with a Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration on the remaining portion of the Property), the Loan-to-Value Ratio is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust and excluding the value of personal property and going concern value), the principal balance of the Loan must be paid down by the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Condemnation Proceeds, (ii) the fair market value of the released property at the time of the release, or (iii) an amount such that the Loan-to-Value Ratio (as so determined by Lender) does not increase after the release, unless the Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of the Mortgage.
Section 6.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of any Property:
(a)If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $100,000.00 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $100,000.00, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.4(b)(i) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b)If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $100,000.00 or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $100,000.00 Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (ii), (iii)(B), (iv), (ix) and, if applicable, (xi) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(A)no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)(1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the applicable Individual Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the applicable Individual Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the applicable Individual Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C)Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the applicable Individual Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense. The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to ninety percent (90%) and (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to ninety percent (90%);
(D)Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E)Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the applicable Individual Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F)Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) [intentionally omitted], (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Individual Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(G)the applicable Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(H)the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower (or Borrower’s agent) in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;

(J)the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.30 to 1.0;
(K)Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lender’s approval; and
(L)the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii)The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the applicable Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(iii)All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration
including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the applicable Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v)Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and Other Obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii)The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be released to Borrower unless a Cash Sweep Event has occurred and no Cash Sweep Event Cure has followed, in which event the excess shall be deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c)All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) hereof may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.
(d)In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, as more particularly set forth on Schedule I hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on Schedule I on or before the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the applicable Property by the required deadline, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the applicable Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to such Property (i) more than once a month and (ii) unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000.00 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000.00), in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.
(a)Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit, and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter (i) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes and Other Charges that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes and Other Charges at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (ii) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, 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 bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit
such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes, Other Charges and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date of the Taxes and Other Charges and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
(b)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.2(a) above, Borrower’s obligation to deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund the sums required to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums shall be suspended provided that:
(i)No Event of Default shall have occurred or exist under the Loan Documents;
(ii)With respect to Insurance Premiums, Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has paid, when due, all Insurance Premiums as and when required pursuant to this Agreement, and Borrower shall have either (aa) provided Lender with satisfactory evidence that the Property is insured in accordance with Section 6.1 of this Agreement pursuant to an acceptable blanket insurance Policy covering all or substantially all real property owned by Affiliates of Borrower or (bb) if the Property is not covered by a blanket insurance Policy, deposited and maintained in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund an amount sufficient to pay Insurance Premiums for six (6) months;
(iii)With respect to Taxes, Borrower shall have deposited and maintained in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund an amount sufficient to pay Taxes for six (6) months; and Lender shall have received evidence satisfactory to Lender that Borrower has paid, when due, all Taxes as and when required pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 7.3 Replacements and Replacement Reserve.
7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Closing Date an initial deposit of $994,102.00 and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter, a monthly amount of $63,615.24 (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) which amounts are reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property (collectively, the “Replacements”). Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default shall then exist, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account at any given time shall not exceed $994,102.00 in the aggregate (the “Replacement Reserve Cap”) and, accordingly, to the extent a Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit would result in the aggregate amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account to exceed the Replacement Reserve Cap, such Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be decreased by an amount equal to such excess. When the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds in the Replacement Reserve Account equals or exceeds the Replacement Reserve
Cap, Borrower shall not be required to make the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit. If at any time thereafter, the amount of Replacement Reserve Funds on deposit in the Replacement Reserve Account is less than the Replacement Reserve Cap, then Borrower shall be required to make monthly deposits to the Replacement Reserve Fund as provided above. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.
7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.
(a)Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund. Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e) hereof) as determined by Lender. In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.
(b)Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made. With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property. Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below in connection with a particular Replacement, each request shall include evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of all such amounts. Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e) hereof, each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested. Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.
(c)Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement. In the case of payments made
by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account. In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $25,000.00 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials. Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).
(d)If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $25,000.00, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.
(e)Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $25,000.00.
7.3.3 Performance of Replacements.
(a)Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep each Property in condition and repair consistent with other comparable properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which such Property is located, and to keep such Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating. Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.
(b)Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Replacements. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.
(c)In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to withhold
disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, without providing any prior notice to Borrower and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.
(d)In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of such Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the applicable Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make such Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect such Property from damage. All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake such Replacements in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows: (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing such Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to such Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete such Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the applicable Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of such Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the applicable Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the applicable Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.
(e)Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing any Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.
(f)Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the applicable Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of Tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at such Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3. Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.
(g)Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account in
order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account. Borrower shall pay the expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.
(h)The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialmen’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).
(i)Before each disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the applicable Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against such Property since the date of recordation of the related Mortgage and that title to such Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the related Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).
(j)All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the applicable Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.
(k)In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement. All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender. All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed. Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender at Lender’s request.
7.3.4 Failure to Make Replacements.
(a)It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Fund shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.
7.3.5 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
Section 7.4 [Intentionally omitted].
Section 7.5 Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund.
7.5.1 Deposits to Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund. During a Cash Sweep Period, Borrower shall deposit with Lender all Excess Cash Flow in the Cash Management Account, which shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan and amounts so held shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Flow Reserve Account”.
7.5.2 Release of Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds. Upon the occurrence of a Cash Sweep Event Cure, all Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds shall be released to Borrower. Any Excess Cash Flow Reserve Funds remaining after the Debt has been paid in full or the Loan has been defeased shall be paid to Borrower.
Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally.
(a)Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.
(b)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.
(c)The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. The Reserve Funds (other than the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds) shall be held in an Eligible Account and credited with interest at a rate selected by Lender, which interest rate may not be the highest interest rate then available, provided that selection of the rate shall be consistent with the general standards at the time being utilized by Lender or any Servicer, in establishing similar accounts for loans of comparable type. All such interest shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies comprising such Reserve Funds. Lender or any Servicer shall not be responsible and shall have no liability for any losses incurred on the investment of any Reserve Funds held in an Eligible Account. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on the Reserve Funds.
(d)Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
(e)Lender and Servicer shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds. Borrower shall indemnify Lender and Servicer and hold Lender and Servicer harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
(f)The required monthly deposits into the Reserve Funds and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.
(g)Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds after the Debt has been paid in full or defeased shall be returned to Borrower.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
(a)Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Property. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(b)Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
(c)As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include, without limitation, any sale by power of sale.
Section 8.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE ix - SPECIAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1 Securitization.
9.1.1 Sale of Notes, Securitization and Securitization Indemnification.
(a)Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).
(b)Borrower agrees to make upon Lender’s written request, without limitation, all structural or other changes to the Loan (including delivery of one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan and such new notes or modified note may have different interest rates and amortization schedules), modifications to any documents evidencing or securing the Loan including, without limitation, the addition of language to Section 10.24 hereof in furtherance of Lender’s qualification for “VCOC” status, creation of one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers), delivery of opinions of counsel acceptable to the Rating Agencies or potential investors and addressing such matters as the Rating Agencies or potential investors may require; provided, however, that in creating such new notes or modified notes or mezzanine notes Borrower shall not be required to modify (i) the initial weighted average interest rate payable under the Note, (ii) the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) the aggregate amortization of principal of the Note, (iv) any other material economic term of the Loan, (v) Article V, Section 6.1, Article VII, Section 8.1 or Section 9.3 hereof, or the definition of Cash Sweep Event, or (vi) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents. In connection with the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify the Cash Management Agreement (but not the Blocked Account Agreement or the definition of Cash Sweep Event) to reflect the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.
(c)At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by or on behalf of Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or
take other actions reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Lender shall have the right to provide to prospective investors and the Rating Agencies any information in its possession, including, without limitation, financial statements relating to Borrower, Guarantor, if any, and the Property. Borrower acknowledges that certain information regarding the Loan and the parties thereto and the Property may be included in a private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents (the “Disclosure Documents”). Borrower agrees that each of Borrower, Principal, Guarantor and their respective officers and representatives, shall, at Lender’s request, at its sole cost and expense, cooperate with Lender’s efforts to arrange for a Securitization in accordance with the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres and/or which may be required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization. Borrower, Principal and Guarantor agree to review, at Lender’s request in connection with the Securitization, the Disclosure Documents as such Disclosure Documents relate to Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Property and the Loan, including without limitation, the sections entitled “Risk Factors,” “Special Considerations,” “Description of the Mortgage,” “Description of the Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager,” “The Borrower,” and “Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan.” Borrower shall provide, and shall cause Guarantor to provide, an indemnification agreement (A) agreeing that Borrower and Guarantor have carefully examined such Disclosure Documents and confirming that the factual statements and representations contained in such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents (to the extent such information relates to, or is based on, or includes any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or the Loan) 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 (provided, however, neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall be required to provide indemnification with respect to factual statements or representations in the Disclosure Documents that are inconsistent with information regarding the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, Manager and/or the Loan that Borrower or Guarantor provided to Lender in connection with the making of the Loan, that Borrower or Guarantor believes are not accurate, and for which Borrower or Guarantor has provided notice to Lender of such inaccuracy), (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.1, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors) and the Affiliate of Lender that (i) has filed the registration statement, if any, relating to the Securitization and/or (ii) which is acting as issuer, depositor, sponsor and/or a similar capacity with respect to the Securitization (any Person described in (i) or (ii), an “Issuer Person”), and each director and officer of any Issuer Person, and each Person or entity who controls any Issuer Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Issuer Group”), and each Person which is acting as an underwriter, manager, placement agent, initial purchaser or similar capacity with respect to the Securitization, each of its directors and officers and each Person who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any Losses to which Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or arise out of or
are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or necessary in order to make the statements in such sections (including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (collectively the “Securities Liabilities”) and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Issuer Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Issuer Group in connection with investigating or defending the Securities Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such Securities Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender or any member of the Issuer Group or Underwriter Group by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or other document (including any Investor or Rating Agency “term sheets” or presentations relating to the Property and/or the Loan) or in connection with the underwriting of the Loan, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower or Guarantor, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and Property condition reports with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower and Guarantor may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification agreement described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower and Guarantor or their Affiliates if Borrower or Guarantor do not provide the indemnification agreement.
(d)In connection with filings under the Exchange Act or any information provided to holders of Securities on an ongoing basis, Borrower agrees to indemnify (i) Lender, the Issuer Group and the Underwriter Group for Losses to which Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Securities Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement in the Provided Information or the omission or alleged 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 Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Issuer Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Securities Liabilities.
(e)Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.1 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.1, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.1 the indemnifying party shall be responsible for any reasonable legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one such separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(f)In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreements provided for in this Section 9.1 is or are for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 9.1, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the indemnified party’s, Borrower’s and Guarantor’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(g)Borrower shall, and shall cause Guarantor to, indemnify the Lender and its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates against any Losses to which Lender and each of its officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, may become subject in connection with any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as the Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in any information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Rating Agencies (the “Covered Rating Agency Information”) or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Covered Rating Agency Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Rating Agency Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(h)The liabilities and obligations of Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.1 shall survive the satisfaction of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
(i)If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any private placement memorandum, prospectus or other disclosure documents or any filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with the Securitization or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.
9.1.2 Securitization Costs. All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower and Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s review of the Disclosure Documents or complying with requests made under Sections 9.1.1(b) shall be paid by Borrower.
Section 9.2 [Intentionally Omitted].
Section 9.3 Exculpation.

(a)Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions
of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property (including, without limitation, any fees incurred by Servicer in connection with the transfer of the Loan to a special servicer prior to a Default or Event of Default) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Blocked Account or Cash Management Account, as applicable.
(b)Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not an Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to any Indemnified Party hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from (A) the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party or (B) Lender’s income taxes or other taxes based on the gross or net income of Lender and arising out of or in connection with the Loan. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.
(c)Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 10.17 Application of Funds from Set-Off. If either Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on its Note or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise of any right of set off, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise, and, as a result of such payment, such Lender shall have received a percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loan or such other amounts then due by Borrower to such Lender that is greater than its respective interest in the Loan, it shall promptly make such adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all Lenders shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses that may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with their respective interests in the Loan or such other amounts. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender shall make equitable adjustments if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. If, under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a set off to which this Section 10.17 applies, then such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner
consistent with the rights of Lenders entitled under this Section 10.17 to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.
Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, between Borrower and Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) Person the obligations and liabilities of each Person shall be joint and several.
Section 10.24 Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon no less than ten (10) Business Days prior notice.
