     Section 2.2 Conversions or Continuations of Loans. Subject to Sections 2.8(4), 2.9(2) and 2.9(3), Borrower shall have the right to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type, at any time or from time to time; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such Conversion as provided in Section 2.8(5); (b) LIBOR-based Loans may be Converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Loans unless Borrower complies with the terms of Section 2.9(5) and (c) subject to Sections 2.9(1) and 2.9(3), any Conversion of Loans shall be pro rata among the Lenders. Absent instructions from Borrower to Convert Loans of one Type into Loans of another Type, Loans of one Type shall Continue as Loans of the same Type for the same duration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and without limiting the rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Article 11, in the event that any Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may (and at the request of the Majority Lenders shall) suspend the right of Borrower to Convert any Loan into a LIBOR-based Loan, or to Continue any Loan as a LIBOR-based Loan for so long as such Event of Default exists, in which event all Loans shall be Converted (on the last day(s) of the respective Interest Periods therefor) or Continued, as the case may be, as Base Rate Loans. In connection with any such Conversion, a Lender may (at its sole and absolute discretion) transfer a Loan from one Applicable Lending Office to another.
     Section 2.3 Interest Rate; Late Charge.
          (1) Borrower hereby promises to pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan (which may be Base Rate Loans and/or LIBOR-based Loans) made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum (the “Applicable Interest Rate”):
          (a) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and

34


 

          (b) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR-based Loan, for each Interest Period relating thereto, the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Loan for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.
          (2) Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on each Payment Date and (ii) in the case of any Loan, upon the payment or prepayment thereof (but only on the principal amount so paid or prepaid), except that interest payable at the Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.
          (3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Maturity Date and during any period when an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the applicable Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, any interest payments thereon not paid when due and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder, under the Notes and any other Loan Documents.
          (4) Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to Borrower, but the failure of Administrative Agent to provide such notice shall not affect Borrower’s obligation for the payment of interest on the Loans.
          (5) In addition to any sums due under this Section 2.3, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders a late payment premium in the amount of two percent (2%) of (i) any payments of principal under the Loans made and payable after the due date thereof, and (ii) any payments of interest or other sums under the Loans made more than five (5) days after the due date thereof, which late payment premium shall be due with any such late payment or upon demand by Administrative Agent. Such late payment charge represents the reasonable estimate of Borrower and the Lenders of a fair average compensation for the loss that may be sustained by the Lenders due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Administrative Agent and the Lenders to collect any other amounts provided herein or in the other Loan Documents to be paid or to exercise any other rights or remedies under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any sums on which the Lenders are entitled to receive Default Interest, Lenders shall not be entitled to receive a late payment premium on such sums.
     Section 2.4 Terms of Payment. The Loans shall be payable as follows:
          (1) Interest. Beginning with the Payment Date occurring in August, 2008, Borrower shall pay interest in arrears on each Payment Date in accordance with the wire transfer instructions set forth in Schedule 2.4(1) hereto (or such other instructions as Administrative Agent may from time to time provide) until all amounts due under the Loan Documents are paid in full. Borrower shall aggregate the payments due under all outstanding Loans to all Lenders and make a single payment to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date.
          (2) Principal Amortization. Prior to the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay amortization on the Loans. During each Extension Period, in the

35


 

event the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for any calendar quarter, calculated on a trailing twelve (12) month basis, is equal to or less than 1.5 to 1.00 (a “DSCR Amortization Event”), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent on each Payment Date occurring during the continuance of such DSCR Amortization Event, in addition to the interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, an amount equal to the Extension Period Principal Payment Amount, which amount shall be applied by Administrative Agent, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Loans pro rata.
          (3) Maturity. On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) all outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and any other amounts due under the Loan Documents.
          (4) Optional Prepayments. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and 2.9(5), Borrower shall have the right to prepay Loans in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided that: (a) Borrower shall give Administrative Agent notice of each such prepayment as provided in Section 2.8(5) (and, upon the date specified in any such notice of prepayment, the amount to be prepaid shall become due and payable hereunder), (b) Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent the applicable Prepayment Premium, if any, and (c) partial prepayments shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.8(1)(b) and shall be in the minimum aggregate principal amounts specified in Section 2.8(4) or, if such prepayment is in connection with a Partial Release pursuant to Section 2.6, the amount prepaid shall not be less than the applicable Partial Release Price. Loans that are prepaid cannot be reborrowed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, any optional prepayment of the Loans made in accordance with or as required by the Required Reserve Account shall be applied as set forth in the Required Reserve Account Agreement.
          (5) Mandatory Prepayments.
          (a) If a Casualty or Condemnation shall occur with respect to any Individual Property, Borrower, upon Borrower’s or Administrative Agent’s receipt of the applicable Insurance Proceeds or Award, shall, unless Administrative Agent makes the Insurance Proceeds or Award available for a Restoration in accordance with Section 3.2, prepay the Loan, if required by the provisions of Article 3, on the dates and in the amounts specified therein (but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.4(6) and 2.9(5)). In the event that the application of a prepayment made in connection with this Section 2.4(5) would result in Breakage Costs, provided that an Event of Default shall not have occurred, such prepayment shall be held by Administrative Agent in an interest bearing account (the “Prepayment Account”) owned by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Sums held in the Prepayment Account shall be invested in Permitted Investments directed by (i) Borrower, if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or (ii) Administrative Agent, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and shall be applied to the Loans in such manner as Administrative Agent shall determine will result in the least amount of Breakage Costs. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest on the Prepayment Account shall be paid to Borrower and Borrower shall pay all taxes thereon. Borrower shall be liable for any losses incurred in connection with funds held in the Prepayment Account to the extent that it is entitled

36


 

to direct the investments of such funds in the Prepayment Account. None of Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be liable to Borrower for any loss or reinvestment income on amounts invested. Nothing in this Section 2.4(5) shall be deemed to limit any obligation of Borrower under the Mortgage or any other Security Document, including any obligation to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to the Mortgage or any of the other Security Documents the Insurance Proceeds, Award or other compensation received in respect of any Casualty or Condemnation. No Prepayment Fee shall be due and payable in connection with any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(5)(a).
          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans is less than $250,000,000, then Borrower, on the first Payment Date following demand by Administrative Agent, shall pay the outstanding principal balance of the Loans, applicable Breakage Costs, all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and all other amounts due to the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
          (6) Interest and Other Charges on Prepayment. If the Loans are prepaid, in whole or in part, pursuant to Section 2.4(4) or 2.4(5), each such prepayment shall be made on the prepayment date specified in the notice to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8(5), and (in every case) together with (a) the accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount prepaid and (b) any of the Breakage Costs payable to a Lender pursuant to Section 2.9(5) as a result of such prepayment while an Adjusted LIBOR Rate is in effect; provided, however, that any such prepayment shall be applied first, to the prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are Base Rate Loans and, second, to the prepayment of any portions of the outstanding principal amount that are LIBOR-based Loans applying such sums first to LIBOR-based Loans of the shortest maturity so as to minimize Breakage Costs; provided further, however, that if an Event of Default exists, Administrative Agent may distribute such payment to the Lenders for application in such manner as it or the Majority Lenders, subject to Section 2.8(2), may determine to be appropriate.
          (7) Application of Payments. Subject to the terms hereof, including Section 2.4(6) above, all payments received by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents shall be applied: first, to any fees and expenses due to Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including but not limited to Breakage Costs; second, to any Default Rate interest or late charges; third, to accrued and unpaid interest; and fourth, to the principal sum and other amounts due under the Loan Documents in the order set forth in Section 2.8(6); provided, however, that, if an Event of Default exists Administrative Agent shall apply such payments in any order or manner as Administrative Agent shall determine.
     Section 2.5 Extension of Maturity Date. Borrower may, at its option, extend the term of the Loans beyond the Initial Maturity Date for two (2) successive terms (the “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each (each, an “Extension Period”) to (y) July 11, 2012 if the first Extension Option is exercised and (z) July 11, 2013 if the second Extension Option is exercised (each such date, the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon the satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any Note would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, solely with respect to the payment due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable for any principal so extended for the period of such extension.
          (2) Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each advance of a Loan from the Lenders under Section 2.1(1) shall be made from the Lenders, and any termination of the obligation to make an advance of the Loans shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) except as otherwise provided in Section 2.9(4), Loans shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Commitments (in the case of the making of Loans) or their respective Loans (in the case of Conversions or Continuations of Loans); (c) except as provided in Section 2.4(4), each payment or prepayment of principal of Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loans held by them; and (d) each payment of interest on Loans by Borrower shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
          (3) Computations. Interest on all Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which payable.
          (4) Minimum Amounts. Except for (a) mandatory prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.4(5) and (b) Conversions or prepayments made pursuant to Section 2.9(4), each borrowing, Conversion, Continuation and partial prepayment of principal (collectively, “Loan Transactions”) of Loans shall be in an aggregate amount of no less than $5,000,000 (Loan Transactions of or into Loans of different Types or Interest Periods at the same time hereunder shall be deemed separate Loan Transactions for purposes of the foregoing, one for

53


 

each Type or Interest Period); provided that if any Loans or borrowings would otherwise be in a lesser principal amount for any period, such Loans shall be Base Rate Loans during such period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the minimum amount of $5,000,000 shall not apply to Conversions of lesser amounts into a tranche of Loans that has (or will have upon such Conversion) an aggregate principal amount exceeding such minimum amount and one Interest Period.
          (5) Certain Notices. Notices by Borrower to Administrative Agent regarding Loan Transactions and the selection of Types of Loans and/or of the duration of Interest Periods shall be irrevocable as of, and shall be effective only if received by Administrative Agent not later than, 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the number of Business Days prior to the date of the proposed Loan Transaction or the first day of such Interest Period specified below:
         
Notice:   Number of Business
Days Prior:
Optional Prepayment
    3  
Conversions into, Continuations as, or borrowings in Base Rate Loans
    3  
Conversions into, Continuations as, borrowings in or changes in duration of Interest Period for, LIBOR-based Loans (subject to Section 2.4(6)(a))
    3  
Each such notice of a Loan Transaction shall specify the amount (subject to Section 2.8(4)), Type, and Interest Period of such proposed Loan Transaction, and the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such proposed Loan Transaction. Notices for Conversions and Continuations shall be in the form of Exhibit E. Each such notice specifying the duration of an Interest Period shall specify the portion of the Loans to which such Interest Period is to relate. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the contents of each such notice. If Borrower fails to select (i) the Type of Loan or (ii) the duration of any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan within the time period (i.e., three (3) Business Days prior to the first day of the next applicable Interest Period) and otherwise as provided in this Section 2.8(5), such Loan (if outstanding as a LIBOR Loan) will be automatically Continued as an LIBOR-based Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the last day of the current Interest Period for such Loan or, if outstanding as an Base Rate Loan, will remain as a Base Rate Loan.
          (6) Non-Receipt of Funds by Administrative Agent. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender or Borrower (in either case, the “Payor”) prior to the date on which the Payor is to make payment to Administrative Agent of (in the case of a Lender) the proceeds of a Loan to be made by such Lender hereunder or (in the case of Borrower) a payment to Administrative Agent for account of any Lender hereunder (in either case, such payment being herein called the “Required Payment”), which notice shall be effective upon receipt, that the Payor does not intend to make the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that the Required Payment has been made and may, in reliance upon such assumption (but shall not be required to), make the amount thereof available to the intended recipient(s) on such date, provided, however, that if the Payor is a Lender,

54


 

Administrative Agent shall provide notice to Borrower of the advance of the Required Payment on or prior to the Advance Date and Borrower shall have the right to consent to the same; and, if the Payor has not in fact made the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, the recipient(s) of such payment shall, on demand, repay to Administrative Agent the amount so made available together with interest thereon in respect of each day during the period commencing on the date (the “Advance Date”) such amount was so made available by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent recovers such amount at a rate per annum equal to (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day in the case of payments returned to Administrative Agent by any of the Lenders or (b) the Applicable Interest Rate due hereunder with respect to payments returned by Borrower to Administrative Agent (except to the extent actually paid by Borrower on the applicable Payment Date) and, if such recipient(s) shall fail promptly to make such payment, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, on demand, from the Payor, together with interest as aforesaid; provided that or if such payment is not made within three (3) Business Days of demand:
          (a) if the Required Payment shall represent a payment to be made by Borrower to the Lenders, the recipient Lenders shall each be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest in respect of the Required Payment at the rate set forth above (without offset due to any interest paid by Borrower), it being understood that the return by the recipient(s) of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit such obligation of Borrower under Section 2.3 to pay interest at the rate set forth above in respect of the Required Payment until Borrower makes the Required Payment to Administrative Agent, and
          (b) if the Required Payment shall represent proceeds of a Loan to be made by the Lenders to Borrower, Borrower shall be obligated retroactively to the Advance Date to pay interest at the Default Rate in respect of the Required Payment, it being understood that the return by Borrower of the Required Payment to Administrative Agent shall not limit any claim Borrower may have against the Payor in respect of such Required Payment.
          (7) Sharing of Payments, Etc.
          (a) Right of Set-off. Borrower agrees that, in addition to (and without limitation of) any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim a Lender may otherwise have, (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26), each Lender shall be entitled, at its option (to the fullest extent permitted by law), to set off and apply any deposit (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), or other Indebtedness, held by it for the credit or account of Borrower at any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, against any principal of or interest on any of such Lender’s Loans or any other amount payable to such Lender hereunder, that is not paid when due (regardless of whether such deposit or other Indebtedness is then due to Borrower), in which case it shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof, provided that such Lender’s failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity thereof.
          (b) Sharing. If any Lender shall obtain from Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Loan owing to it or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any other Loan Document through the exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise (other than from Administrative Agent as provided herein), and, as a result of such payment,

55


 

such Lender shall have received a greater percentage of the principal of or interest on the Loans or such other amounts then due hereunder or thereunder by Borrower to such Lender than the percentage received by any other Lender, it shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to such other Lenders (or in interest due thereon, as the case may be) in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the 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 the unpaid principal of and/or interest on the Loans or such other amounts, respectively, owing to each of the Lenders. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.
          (c) Consent by Borrower. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing such a participation (or direct interest) may exercise (subject, as among the Lenders, to Section 12.26) all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to such Lender in the amount of such participation.
          (d) Rights of Lenders; Bankruptcy. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other Indebtedness or obligation of Borrower. 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 2.8(7) applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section 2.8(7) to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.
     Section 2.9 Yield Protection; Etc.
          (1) Additional Costs.
          (a) Costs of Making or Maintaining LIBOR-based Loans. Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may in good faith determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs that such Lender determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR-based Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR-based Loans hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender hereunder in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
     (i) without duplication of amounts described by Section 2.9(6)(a) hereof, shall subject any Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office for any of such Loans) to any tax, duty or other charge in respect of such Loans or its Note or changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or its Note in respect of any of such Loans (excluding changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Lender or of such Applicable

56


 

Lending Office by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or such Applicable Lending Office); or
     (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than the Reserve Requirement used in the determination of the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender (including, without limitation, any of such Loans or any deposits referred to in the definition of “LIBOR Rate”), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender hereunder); or
     (iii) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or its Note (or any of such extensions of credit or liabilities) or its Commitment.
Subject to Section 2.9(7), if any Lender requests compensation from Borrower of Additional Costs under this paragraph (a), Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender thereafter to make or Continue LIBOR-based Loans, or to Convert Loans into LIBOR-based Loans, until the Regulatory Change giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable), provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.
          (b) Costs Attributable to Regulatory Change or Risk-Based Capital Guidelines. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9(1) (but without duplication) and without limitation of Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.9(7), Borrower shall pay directly to each Lender from time to time on request such amounts as such Lender may in good faith determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender (or, without duplication, the bank holding company of which such Lender is a subsidiary) for any costs that it determines are attributable to the maintenance by such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company), pursuant to any Applicable Law or any interpretation, directive or request (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) of any court or governmental or monetary authority (i) following any Regulatory Change or (ii) implementing any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) hereafter issued by any government or governmental or supervisory authority implementing at the national level the Basle Accord, of capital in respect of its Commitment or Loans, such compensation to include, without limitation, an amount equal to any reduction of the rate of return on assets or equity of such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) to a level below that which such Lender (or any Applicable Lending Office or such bank holding company) could have achieved but for such law, regulation, interpretation, directive or request.
          (c) Notification and Certification. Each Lender shall notify Borrower of any event occurring after the date hereof entitling such Lender to compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1) as promptly as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that (i) if any

57


 

Lender fails to give such notice within sixty (60) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 2.9(1) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under this Section 2.9(1) for costs incurred from and after the date forty-five (45) days prior to the date that such Lender does give such notice and (ii) each Lender will designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the Loans of such Lender affected by such event if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate an Applicable Lending Office located in the United States of America. Each Lender will furnish to Borrower a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request by such Lender for compensation under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 2.9(1). Determinations and allocations by any Lender for purposes of this Section 2.9(1) of the effect of any Regulatory Change pursuant to paragraph (a) of this Section 2.9(1), or of the effect of capital maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 2.9(1), on its costs or rate of return of maintaining Loans or its obligation to make Loans, or on amounts receivable by it in respect of Loans, and of the amounts required to compensate such Lender under this Section 2.9(1), shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations and allocations are absent manifest error and made on a reasonable basis.
          (2) Limitation on Types of Loans. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period for any LIBOR-based Loan:
          (a) Administrative Agent determines, which determination shall be conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR-based Loans as provided herein; or
          (b) the Majority Lenders determine, which determination shall be conclusive, and notify Administrative Agent that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR Rate upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely adequately to cover the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining LIBOR-based Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders subject to Section 2.9(7) shall be under no obligation to make additional LIBOR-based Loans, to Continue LIBOR-based Loans or to Convert Loans of any other Type into LIBOR-based Loans, and Borrower shall, on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for the outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, either prepay such Loans or such Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans.
          (3) Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR-based Loans hereunder (and, in the sole opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different Applicable Lending Office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, subject to Section 2.9(7)

58


 

such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR-based Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 2.9(4) shall be applicable).
          (4) Treatment of Affected Loans. If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR-based Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR-based Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3), such Lender’s Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion resulting from a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3), on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower (but not earlier than the date of such notice or the date required by the applicable law giving rise to a circumstance described in Section 2.9(3)) with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
          (a) to the extent that such Lender’s Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
          (b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR-based Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR-based Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent that the circumstances specified in Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to this Section 2.9(4) no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR-based Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted effective as of the date such circumstances cease to exist, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR-based Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Base Rate Loans and LIBOR-based Loans are allocated among the Lenders ratably (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
          (5) Compensation. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any actual loss, cost or expense (collectively, “Breakage Costs”) that such Lender determines is attributable to:
          (a) any re-payment, prepayment or Conversion of a LIBOR-based Loan made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, the acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights referred to in Article 11) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

59


 

          (b) any failure by Borrower for any reason to borrow a LIBOR-based Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing specified in the relevant notice of borrowing given to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such compensation shall include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Converted or not borrowed for the period from the date of such payment, prepayment, Conversion or failure to borrow to the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, the Interest Period for such Loan that would have commenced on the date specified for such borrowing) at the applicable rate of interest for such Loan provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest that otherwise would have accrued on such principal amount at a rate per annum equal to the interest component of the amount such Lender would have bid in the London interbank market for Dollar deposits of leading banks in amounts comparable to such principal amount and with maturities comparable to such period (as reasonably determined by such Lender), or if such Lender shall cease to make such bids, the equivalent rate, as reasonably determined by such Lender, derived from Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 Page (formerly operated as Page 3750 of the Dow Jones Markets Service (Telerate)) or other publicly available source as described in the definition of LIBOR Rate.
          (6) U.S. Taxes.
          (a) Gross-up for Deduction or Withholding of U.S. Taxes. Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender that is not a U.S. Person such additional amounts as are necessary in order that the net payment of any amount due to such non-U.S. Person hereunder after deduction for or withholding in respect of any U.S. Taxes imposed with respect to such payment (or in lieu thereof, payment of such U.S. Taxes by such non-U.S. Person), will not be less than the amount stated herein to be then due and payable, provided that the foregoing obligation to pay such additional amounts shall not apply:
     (i) to any payment to any Lender hereunder unless such Lender is, on the date hereof (or on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder as provided in Section 12.24(2)) and on the date of any change in the Applicable Lending Office of such Lender, either entitled to submit a Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a complete exemption from withholding on all interest to be received by it hereunder in respect of the Loans) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all interest to be received by such Lender hereunder in respect of the Loans), or
     (ii) to any U.S. Taxes imposed solely by reason of the failure by such non-U.S. Person to comply with applicable certification, information, documentation or other reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connections with the United States of America of such non-U.S. Person if such compliance is required by statute or regulation of the United States of America as a precondition to relief or exemption from such U.S. Taxes.

60


 

For the purposes hereof, the provisions of Section 12.24(f) shall be applicable and (A) “U.S. Person” means a citizen, national or resident of the United States of America, a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under any laws of the United States of America or any State thereof, or any estate or trust that is subject to Federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income, (B) “U.S. Taxes” means any present or future tax, assessment or other charge or levy imposed by or on behalf of the United States of America or any taxing authority thereof or therein, (C) “Form W-8BEN” means Form W-8BEN of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America and (D) “Form W-8ECI” means Form W-8ECI of the Department of the Treasury of the United States of America. Each of the Forms referred to in the foregoing clauses (C) and (D) shall include such successor and related forms as may from time to time be adopted by the relevant taxing authorities of the United States of America to document a claim to which such Form relates.
          (b) Evidence of Deduction, Etc. Within thirty (30) days after paying any amount to Administrative Agent or any Lender from which it is required by law to make any deduction or withholding, and within thirty (30) days after it is required by law to remit such deduction or withholding to any relevant taxing or other authority, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent for delivery to such non-U.S. Person evidence satisfactory to such Person of such deduction, withholding or payment (as the case may be).
          (7) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), or any Lender’s obligation to Continue Loans of any Type, or to Convert Loans of any Type into the other Type of Loan, shall be suspended pursuant to Section 2.9(2) or 2.9(3) (any such Lender requesting such compensation, or whose obligations are so suspended, being herein called a “Requesting Lender”), Borrower, upon three (3) Business Days notice, may require that such Requesting Lender transfer all of its right, title and interest under this Agreement and such Requesting Lender’s Note to any bank or other financial institution (a “Proposed Lender”) identified by Borrower that is reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent (i) if such Proposed Lender agrees to assume all of the obligations of such Requesting Lender hereunder, and to purchase all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans hereunder for consideration equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of such Requesting Lender’s Loans, together with interest thereon to the date of such purchase (to the extent not paid by Borrower), and satisfactory arrangements are made for payment to such Requesting Lender of all other amounts accrued and payable hereunder to such Requesting Lender as of the date of such transfer (including any fees accrued hereunder and any Breakage Costs that would be payable under Section 2.9(5) as if all of such Requesting Lender’s Loans were being prepaid in full on such date) and (ii) if such Requesting Lender has requested compensation pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6), such Proposed Lender’s aggregate requested compensation, if any, pursuant to Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) with respect to such Requesting Lender’s Loans is lower than that of the Requesting Lender. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24(2), such Proposed Lender shall be a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Borrower hereunder, the agreements of Borrower contained in Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(6) and 12.5 (without duplication of any payments made to such Requesting Lender by Borrower or the Proposed Lender) shall survive for the benefit of such Requesting Lender under this Section 2.9(7) with respect to the time prior to such replacement.

61


 

     Section 2.10 Agency Fee. Until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee in accordance with the Fee Letter.
     Section 2.11 Offsets, etc. Each Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Administrative Agent or Lenders or their agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Administrative Agent or Lenders to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which any Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which any Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by any 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.
ARTICLE 3
INSURANCE, CONDEMNATION, AND IMPOUNDS
     Section 3.1 Insurance.
          (1) From and after the date that an Individual Property is encumbered by a Mortgage, until the earlier of (i) payment in full of the Debt or (ii) release of the applicable Individual Property from the lien of the applicable Mortgage, Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained Policies providing at least the following coverages:
          (a) comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property at such Individual Property, in each case (i) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value of the applicable Individual Property (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (ii) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property at such Individual Property waiving all co insurance provisions; (iii) providing for no deductible in excess of the Maximum Deductible; and (iv) providing coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of such Individual Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses. The Full Replacement Cost of the applicable Individual Property shall be redetermined from time to time but not more frequently than once in any thirty-six (36) calendar months at the request and at the cost of the Administrative Agent (provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the cost of any appraisal obtained in connection with the First Extension and any appraisal obtained by Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default) by an appraiser or contractor designated by Borrower and approved by Administrative Agent, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. After

62

Except as provided in Section 3.2 below, all Insurance Proceeds payable to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) pursuant to this Section 3.1(1)(c) shall be held by Administrative Agent and shall be applied to the obligations secured hereunder from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Notes and this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured hereunder on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Notes and this Agreement except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income/loss of Rents insurance;
          (d) at all times during which structural construction or Alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements on an applicable Individual Property (i) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(b); and (ii) the insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1)(a) shall be written in a so called builder’s risk completed value form or equivalent coverage as part of the “all-risk” insurance (A) on a non-reporting basis, (B) against

64


 

Commercially Available. For the purposes of this Article 3, a particular insurance type or amount shall be deemed “Commercially Available” for an Individual Property if such insurance type or amount is (i) commercially available in the insurance market, and (ii) commonly required by lenders making mortgage loans with respect to property similar to the applicable Individual Property.
          (2) All insurance provided for in Section 3.1(1) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies permitted to do business in the State in which the applicable Individual Property is located and reasonably approved by Administrative Agent. Borrower will maintain the insurance coverage described in Section 3.1(a), (c), (d) and (f) with either (A) one or more financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Individual Property is located and having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P not lower than “A-” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:IX” or (B) a syndicate of insurers through which at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage (if there are 4 or fewer members of the syndicate) or at least fifty percent (50%) of the coverage (if there are 5 or more members of the syndicate) is with carriers having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P not lower than “A-” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:IX” and the balance of the coverage is, in each case, with insurers having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P of not lower than “BBB” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:VII”, provided that in each case, the first loss risk is borne by the carriers having a claims-paying-rating by S&P of not lower than “A-” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A:IX”. Such insurance coverages required in 3.1 (1)(b), (e), (h), (g), (i) and (j) shall be maintained with (A) one or more financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Individual Property is located and having a claims-paying-ability rating by S&P not lower than “A-” or A.M. Best of “A-VII” or (B) a syndicate of insurers through which at least sixty percent (60%) of the coverage is with carriers having a claims paying-ability rating by S&P not lower than “A” or by A.M. Best not lower than “A-VII”. If Borrower’s insurers or reinsurance carriers fail to provide or maintain the ratings set forth in this Section 3.1(2), Borrower may satisfy the applicable ratings requirement by providing to Lender a “cut-through or credit wrap” policy or endorsement in form and substance reasonably approved by Administrative Agent issued by an insurer reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent or by such other credit enhancement or guaranty by such other Person, in each event reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent. To the extent the same is Commercially Available, Terrorism Coverage shall be provided by the policies required by Section 3.1(1) above or by a separate policy, either providing terrorism coverage as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (“TRIA”) in place through December 31, 2014 or any subsequent act replacing or extending TRIA with coverage amounts of not less than an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Improvements and the Personal Property on each Individual Property; provided, however, that in the event that TRIA or any successor legislation is no longer in place, no Policy shall contain an exclusion from coverage under such Policy for loss or damage incurred as a result of an act of terrorism or similar acts of sabotage, provided that Borrower may obtain separate Terrorism Insurance (as defined below) coverage subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.1(2), in which case Borrower will be required to maintain insurance against terrorism, certified and non-certified terrorist acts or similar acts of sabotage (“Terrorism Insurance”) with coverage amounts of not less than an amount equal to

65


 

the full replacement cost of the Improvements and the Personal Property on each Individual Property (the “Terrorism Insurance Required Amount”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is required to obtain separate Terrorism Insurance as set forth herein in the event that TRIA or any successor legislation is no longer in place, Borrower shall only be required to obtain Terrorism Insurance to the extent that such coverage is obtainable for annual premiums not in excess of an amount equal to two (2) times the then-annual casualty premium required under Section 3.1(1)(a) hereof (the “Terrorism Cap”) and shall obtain Terrorism Coverage to such extent; provided, however, the Terrorism Cap shall not apply if (A) owners and/or operators of regional shopping centers in the same class and geographic region as the applicable Individual Property are generally obtaining Terrorism Insurance, (B) lenders financing buildings in the same class and geographic region as the applicable Individual Property are generally requiring Terrorism Insurance as a condition of financing, or (C) Borrower or any of the respective Affiliates of Borrower is obtaining Terrorism Insurance on any other building or portfolio of buildings which any of the foregoing Persons own or operate.
          (3) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 3.1(1) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 3.1(1)(e), shall name Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) as additional insureds on liability coverages and loss payee on property coverages, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property, boiler and machinery, and flood insurance, shall contain a mortgagee clause in favor of Administrative Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and shall otherwise be in form, substance and content reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. Lender acknowledges that as of the date of this Loan Agreement Lender has received certificates evidencing the insurance required by Section 3.1(1) and Borrower agrees not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the applicable policies to deliver certificates of insurance or other satisfactory proof of insurance pursuant to industry standards marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”). Upon reasonable request of Administrative Agent or in connection with a claim under a Policy, Borrower shall deliver copies of the policies to Administrative Agent; in addition, at the request of Administrative Agent, Borrower shall make copies available to Administrative Agent for inspection and review at Borrower’s office.
          (4) All Policies provided for in Section 3.1(1) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
     (i) Except for non-payment of premium no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Administrative Agent is concerned;
     (ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least twenty (20) days’ written notice to Administrative Agent and any other party named therein as an insured except for non-payment of premium for which ten (10) days written notice shall be provided;

66


 

     (iii) each Policy shall provide that the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Administrative Agent if the Policy has not been renewed ten (10) days prior to its expiration; and
     (iv) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
          (5) If at any time Administrative Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Administrative Agent shall have the right, subject to the expiration of the applicable time periods set forth in 3.1(4) above and with simultaneous notice to Borrower to take such action as Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in each Individual Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Administrative Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
          (6) In the event of a foreclosure of any Mortgage, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loans all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
     Section 3.2 Use and Application of Net Proceeds.
     The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of each applicable Individual Property:
          (1) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Threshold Amount applicable to such Individual Property and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than Threshold Amount applicable to such Individual Property, the Net Proceeds will be directly disbursed to Borrower (as directed by Administrative Agent) upon receipt, provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

     (iii) Borrower can demonstrate to Administrative Agent that after the Restoration at least sixty percent (60%) 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 (the “Pre-Casualty or Condemnation Lease”), whichever the case may be, will be leased pursuant to Pre-Casualty or Condemnation Leases or other substitute lease commitments;
     (iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than the later of (a) ninety (90) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs or (b) fifteen (15) days after Lender makes the proceeds available to Borrower) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all Applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;
     (v) Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Notes, which will be incurred with respect to such 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 described in Section 3.1(1)(c), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
     (vi) Administrative Agent shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be substantially completed in accordance with Applicable Laws so that the tenants can legally and physically occupy their space on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date (after giving effect to any Extension Options then exercisable by Borrower), (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, (3) such time as may be required

     (vii) such Individual Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all Applicable Laws;
     (viii) Administrative Agent shall be satisfied that the Debt Service Coverage Ratio after the completion of the Restoration shall be equal to or greater than the lesser of 1.20 to 1 or the Debt Service Coverage Ratio immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable;
     (ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the total and permanent (following the Restoration) loss of access to such Individual Property or the related Improvements;
     (x) in the event the Net Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds (as applicable) for an Individual Property exceed the Threshold Amount, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent a signed summary budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent;
     (xi) the Net Proceeds together with any Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 3.2(f) are sufficient in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration; and
     (xii) the Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager, prior to the opening or reopening of such Individual Property or any portion thereof for business with the public.
          (b) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Administrative Agent in an interest bearing account (with interest to be available to Borrower to the same extent as Net Proceeds are made available pursuant to the terms of this Section 3.2) and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Administrative Agent to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full (less Casualty Retainage), 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

69


 

any nature whatsoever on the Individual Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Administrative Agent by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
          (c) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, the cost of which is greater than the Threshold Amount applicable to the Individual Property at which the Restoration is occurring, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) in all material respects by Administrative Agent and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”) Administrative Agent shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration the cost of which is greater than the Threshold Amount applicable to the Individual Property at which the Restoration is occurring, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) by Administrative Agent and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable and out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the reasonable fees of the Casualty Consultant, shall be paid by Borrower.
          (d) In no event shall Administrative Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to the greater of (i) 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 or (ii) the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration (but shall not be duplicative of such amounts actually held back by Borrower). The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Administrative Agent receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (a) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent 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 Administrative Agent or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the applicable Individual Property, and receives an endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such

70


 

endorsement. If required by Administrative Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
          (e) Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
          (f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Administrative Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, 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”), either (i) in the form or an Alteration Indemnity from an Acceptable Indemnitor or (ii) in cash or a Letter of Credit, with Administrative Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency, if deposited as cash with Administrative Agent, shall be held by Administrative Agent in an interest-bearing subaccount established by Borrower under and in accordance with the Cash Management Agreement 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 Section 3.2 hereof shall constitute additional security for the Loans and other obligations under the Loan Documents. If the Net Proceeds Deficiency, as delivered to Administrative Agent, is in the form of a Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit shall be held by Administrative Agent until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with Section 3.2 and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, and thereafter, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, shall be released to Borrower.
          (g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Administrative Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Administrative Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2 and the receipt by Administrative Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Administrative Agent to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
          (3) 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 3.2(2)(g) hereof may be retained and applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Loans (without any Prepayment Premium) whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion shall deem proper, or, at the sole and absolute discretion of Administrative Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Administrative Agent shall approve, in its sole and absolute discretion. If Administrative Agent shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Mortgage shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Administrative Agent and actually applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Loans. If

71


 

Administrative Agent elects to apply Net Proceeds towards principal the same shall be deemed a mandatory prepayment and subject to terms of Section 2.4(5) hereof.
     Section 3.3 Casualty and Condemnation.
          (a) If any Individual Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Administrative Agent and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of such Individual Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Individual Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such Alterations as may be reasonably approved by Administrative Agent and otherwise in accordance with Section 3.2 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance (provided that, if Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for Restoration pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2 hereof, they are made available to Borrower for Restoration). Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower.
          (b) Borrower shall promptly give Administrative Agent notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of any Individual Property and shall deliver to Administrative Agent copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Administrative Agent may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall, from time to time, deliver to Administrative Agent all instruments reasonably requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Administrative Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Loans at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Notes and in this Agreement and the Loans shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Administrative Agent, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Loans. Administrative Agent and the Lenders 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 Notes. If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 3.2 hereof. If an Individual Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Administrative Agent of the Award, Administrative Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Loans.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, at its option, may withdraw the Reserve Funds and the other funds in the Security Accounts and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to payment of the Loans in such order, proportion and priority as Administrative Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Administrative Agent’s right to withdraw and apply such funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
          (4) Prohibition Against Further Encumbrance. Borrower shall not, without the prior consent of Administrative Agent, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in the Reserve Funds or the Security Accounts or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, except those naming Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
          (5) Release of Reserve Funds. Any amount remaining in the Reserve Funds and the Security Accounts after the Loans have been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower.

     Section 4.5 Letters of Credit. With respect to any Letter of Credit which Borrower may furnish or cause to be furnished to Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents:
          (1) Administrative Agent will be entitled, among other things, to make one or more draws by presentment thereof to the issuing bank accompanied only by Administrative Agent’s clean sight-draft, it being intended that the issuing bank shall have no right or duty to inquire as to Administrative Agent’s right to draw upon such Letter of Credit;
          (2) Administrative Agent shall be entitled, among other things, to draw upon each Letter of Credit, in whole, or in part from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default or under the other circumstances under which a draw shall be permitted under the Loan Documents or the Letter of Credit;
          (3) Administrative Agent shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof unless, prior to such expiration date of such Letter of Credit and each renewal and extension thereof, Borrower shall have furnished a replacement, extension or renewal Letter of Credit, acceptable to Administrative Agent, it being the intent hereof that at no time shall the unexpired term of any Letter of Credit be less than thirty (30) days. If Administrative Agent draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms of this subsection (3), then Administrative Agent shall give notice of such draw to Borrower and Administrative Agent shall hold the proceeds thereof as additional collateral for the Obligations, to be applied in accordance with subsections (4) and (5) below.
          (4) Upon three (3) Business Days notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to draw upon a Letter of Credit if Administrative Agent reasonably determines that its rights to draw on such Letter of Credit could be in jeopardy. Without limiting

75


 

the foregoing, Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to draw on a Letter of Credit if the credit rating or financial condition of the issuing bank no longer meets the minimum rating contained in the definition of Letter of Credit. Following a draw by Administrative Agent on a Letter of Credit solely because of the deterioration of the creditworthiness of the issuing bank, Administrative Agent will deposit such proceeds in the Cash Collateral Account as security for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was delivered and Administrative Agent shall be entitled to draw upon such proceeds to the same extent it would have been entitled to make a draw under the applicable Letter of Credit. Administrative Agent shall, or shall direct the Cash Management Agent to, disburse such proceeds to Borrower provided (i) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent a replacement Letter of Credit, (ii) there exists no Event of Default, and (iii) Borrower pays all of Administrative Agent’s fees and expenses in connection with such draw and disbursement.
          (5) No draw by Administrative Agent on any Letter of Credit shall cure or be deemed to cure any Event of Default or limit in any respect any of Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ remedies under the Loan Documents, it being understood that Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies hereunder shall be cumulative and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have no obligations to apply the proceeds of any draw to missed installments or other amounts then due and unpaid under the Loans. Proceeds of any draw upon a Letter of Credit (after reimbursement of any actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and reimbursements, incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such draw) may be applied by Administrative Agent to the payment of the Loans in such manner as Administrative Agent may determine. No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or the Lenders in exercising any right to draw on a Letter of Credit shall impair any such right, or shall be construed as a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any Event of Default.
          (6) Administrative Agent shall, upon request, release its rights in any Letters of Credit and surrender such Letters of Credit to the issuing bank upon the payment in full of all Loans.

LEASING MATTERS
     Section 6.1 Representations and Warranties on Leases. From and after the date that an Individual Property is encumbered by a Mortgage, each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Leases of the applicable Individual Property owned by it as follows:

76


 

          (1) No Individual Property is subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the true and correct copy of the rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 6.1 (the “Rent Roll”) and made a part hereof (other than tenants’ subleases, if any, and Seasonal Leases).
          (2) No person has any possessory interest in any Individual Property or right to occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases, the Permitted Encumbrances or the provisions of the Reciprocal Easement Agreement.
          (3) The Leases described on the Rent Roll are in full force and effect and except as disclosed in such Rent Roll or in an estoppel delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan, to Borrower’s knowledge, there are no material defaults thereunder by either party to such Lease and there are no conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute material defaults thereunder.
          (4) No Rent (other than security deposits) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date. All work to be performed to date by Borrower under each Lease has been performed in all material respects as required, and except as disclosed in such Rent Roll or in an estoppel delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan or in Schedule 7.34, to Borrower’s knowledge, any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments, credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by Borrower to any tenant already have been received by such tenant.
          (5) There has been no prior sale, transfer or assignment, hypothecation or pledge of Borrower’s interest in any Lease or of the Rents received therein which is presently outstanding.
          (6) Except as expressly described in the Title Insurance Policy or in Schedule 6.1 attached hereto or in an estoppel delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan, no tenant under any Lease has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any part of the leased premises or the building of which the leased premises are a part.
          (7) Except as described in the Environmental Report, Borrower does not have any knowledge of any tenant’s intention to use its leased premises for any activity which, directly or indirectly, involves the unauthorized use, generation, treatment, storage, disposal or transportation of any Hazardous Substances in any manner that will or likely result in a violation of applicable Environmental Laws.
          (8) On the applicable Closing Date, there are no material Unfunded Tenant Allowances except as set forth on Schedule 6.5.
     Section 6.2 Approval Rights.
          (1) Any Material Leases with respect to any Individual Property executed after the date hereof (other than extensions or renewals of existing Leases pursuant to options provided in such Leases), shall be subject to the prior approval of Administrative Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Borrower may not amend or terminate any Material Lease without the prior approval of Administrative Agent except in a commercially

77


 

reasonable manner by reason of tenant default beyond all applicable notice and cure rights. For purposes of determining whether a Lease which is a “pad” or “ground lease” is a Material Lease, the gross leasable area of any building to be used by the tenant shall be considered and not the surface land area to be leased pursuant to such Lease.
          (2) Administrative Agent’s prior approval shall not be required for any Lease that is not a Material Lease executed after the applicable Closing Date provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (A) there exists no Event of Default for which Administrative Agent shall have accelerated the Loan; (B) the Lease (or another instrument executed by the applicable tenant) shall provide that such Lease is subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the applicable Individual Property and the tenant agrees, subject to appropriate provisions for non-disturbance to the extent the tenant is not in default thereunder, to attorn to Administrative Agent or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale and the tenant will provide an estoppel certificate at least one (1) time per calendar year; (C) the Lease does not materially conflict with any restrictive covenant affecting any Individual Property or any other Lease for space in such Individual Property; (D) the Lease complies with the Leasing Guideline Schedule; and (E) the Lease is with a bona fide third-party not an Affiliate of Borrower.
          (3) Administrative Agent’s prior approval shall not be required for any modification or extension executed after the applicable Closing Date of any Lease that is not a Material Lease provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (A) there exists no Event of Default for which Administrative Agent shall have accelerated the Loan; (B) such modification or extension does not materially conflict with any restrictive covenant affecting any Individual Property or any other Lease for space in such Individual Property; and (C) such modification or extension complies with the Leasing Guideline Schedule. In no event shall (i) any modification or extension amend the provisions relating to subordination, attornment, estoppels and landlord liability without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent or (ii) approval be required for extensions or renewals of existing Leases (including Material Leases) pursuant to options provided therein.
          (4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent’s approval shall not be required for any termination of any Lease if the following conditions are satisfied: (A) there exists no Event of Default for which Administrative Agent shall have accelerated the Loan; (B) the Lease is not a Material Lease; and (C) the tenant is in default under the applicable Lease or the tenant is not in default under the Lease, and Borrower has entered into a replacement Lease for the portion of the Individual Property occupied by the tenant pursuant to the Lease to be terminated.
          (5) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, whenever Administrative Agent’s approval or consent to a Lease or modification of a Lease is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.2, the applicable Borrower may, but is not obligated to, submit to Administrative Agent a Lease Term Sheet for a proposed Lease or modification of a Lease for which Administrative Agent’s consent is required hereunder together with reasonably detailed financial information relating to the actual or proposed tenant under such Lease or Lease modification. The applicable Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent the executed Lease or Lease modification and if such Lease or Lease modification conforms to the approved Lease Term Sheet delivered to Administrative Agent in accordance

78


 

with the preceding sentences without material modification from such approved Lease Term Sheet, then such Lease or Lease modification will be deemed approved. The applicable Borrower shall have the right to resubmit to Administrative Agent the Lease Term Sheet for the same tenant if the proposed lease terms have been substantially revised from the Lease Term Sheet which has been approved, deemed approved or rejected by Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.
          (6) With regard to any action described in this Section 6.2 for which Administrative Agent’s consent is required, Administrative Agent shall not withhold its consent or disapproval to any such action for more than ten (10) Business Days after request for approval thereof has been made by Borrower, accompanied by a detailed description of the request for which approval is sought, provided that Borrower submits such request for Administrative Agent’s approval in an envelope labeled “Priority” and delivered to Administrative Agent by overnight delivery and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 and which request shall state at the top of the first page in bold lettering in 14 pt. font “ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT AMONG THE UNDERSIGNED, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE LENDERS FROM TIME TO TIME A PARTY THERETO.” In the event that Administrative Agent fails to either approve such request or disapprove such request (such disapproval stating the reasons for such disapproval) for more than ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, the action that was the subject of said request shall be deemed approved.
     Section 6.3 Covenants.
          (1) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Administrative Agent with executed copies of all Leases, Lease modifications or Lease terminations entered into after the date hereof.
          (2) Borrower (A) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (B) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to materially impair the value of the applicable Individual Property; (C) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits or lease termination payments, which lease termination payments will be deposited by the applicable Borrower into the Lockbox Account); (D) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (E) shall execute and deliver at the request of Administrative Agent all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Administrative Agent shall from time to time reasonably require.
          (3) At Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent shall enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement prepared by such Borrower and delivered to Administrative in a form attached hereto as Schedule 6.3(3) (accompanied by a “blackline” against such form) as to any Material Lease, any Lease approved by Administrative Agent and all other Leases with “national tenants” permitted under the Loan Documents at no cost to the applicable Borrower unless Administrative Agent is required to negotiate the terms of such subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement, in which case the applicable

79


 

Borrower shall pay for all of Administrative Agent’s actual out-of-pocket costs and expense incurred with respect to such negotiations.
          (4) Borrower shall hold, in trust, all tenant security deposits in a segregated account, and, to the extent required by Applicable Law, shall not commingle any such funds with any other funds of Borrower. Within ten (10) days after Administrative Agent’s request (which may not be made more than once in any calendar year except during the continuance of an Event of Default), Borrower shall furnish to Administrative Agent a statement of all tenant security deposits, and copies of all Leases not previously delivered to Administrative Agent, certified by Borrower as being true, complete and correct.
     Section 6.4 Tenant Estoppels.
          (1) At Administrative Agent’s request, (1) provided that no Event of Default is then continuing, Administrative Agent will advise Borrower as to the reason (the “Stated Reason”) that Administrative Agent is then making such request and, provided, further, that in no event shall (a) in the absence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent require estoppels beyond what is reasonably necessary to address the Stated Reason and (b) such request be made more than once in any calendar year except during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and furnish to Administrative Agent written estoppels in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, executed by commercial tenants under Leases in the applicable Individual Property and confirming the term, Rent, and other provisions and matters relating to the Leases and (2) if required under the terms of the applicable Lease as a condition to such tenant’s attornment to Administrative Agent, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to obtain from the applicable tenant written subordination and attornment agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent (it being agreed that the form required by the terms of the applicable Lease shall be acceptable to Administrative Agent), executed by tenants under Leases in the applicable Individual Property, whereby, among other things, such tenants subordinate their interest in the applicable Individual Property to the Loan Documents and agree to attorn to Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders) and its successors and assigns upon foreclosure or other transfer of the applicable Individual Property after an Event of Default.
     Section 6.5 Unfunded Tenant Allowances. Borrower shall pay, when required by the applicable Lease, all Unfunded Tenant Allowances due to the applicable tenant.
ARTICLE 7
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
     Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as to itself and its applicable Individual Property that on the applicable Closing Date applicable to its Individual Property that:
     Section 7.1 Organization and Power. Borrower and each Borrower Party are duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation or existence, and except where the failure to do same would not reasonably be expected to have a

80


 

Material Adverse Effect as to each Individual Property, is in compliance with Legal Requirements applicable to doing business and is in good standing in the State. Borrower has the requite power and authority to own its applicable Individual Property and to transact the businesses in which it is engaged. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of § 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.
     Section 7.2 Validity of Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and each Borrower Party of the Loan Documents: (1) are duly authorized and do not require the consent or approval of any other party or Governmental Authority which has not been obtained; and (2) will not violate any law or result in the imposition of any Lien upon the assets of any such party, except as contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower and each Borrower Party, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws generally affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto, except as may be set forth in the legal opinions delivered to Administrative Agent on the applicable Closing Date in connection with the Loans.
     Section 7.3 Liabilities; Litigation; Bankruptcy.
          (1) The financial statements delivered by Borrower and each Borrower Party are true and correct in all material respects with no significant change since the date of preparation.

Except as disclosed in such financial statements or on Schedule 7.3 attached hereto, there is no litigation, administrative proceeding, investigation or other legal action (including any proceeding under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law) pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened, against any Individual Property, Borrower or any Borrower Party which if adversely determined would reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as to the Individual Properties taken as a whole.
          (2) Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or property, and neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party has knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.
     Section 7.4 Assessments. Except as disclosed on the Title Policies or on Schedule 7.4 attached hereto, there are no pending or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, proposed, special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any Individual Property, nor are there any contemplated Improvements to any Individual Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

81


 

     Section 7.5 Other Agreements; Defaults. Neither Borrower nor any Borrower Party is a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any court order, injunction, permit, or restriction which would reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as to the Individual Properties taken as a whole.

     Section 7.6 Compliance with Law.
          (1) Except as disclosed in the Physical Conditions Report or in the Site Assessment or in “PZR” reports delivered to Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan, to Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and each Individual Property are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes.

          (2) There has not been commited by Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Individual Property, and Borrower shall not commit, suffer or permit to occur, any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents;
          (3) Except as disclosed on Schedule 7.6(3) attached hereto, no Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property; and
          (4) Except as disclosed on the applicable Survey, (i) each Individual Property has adequate rights of access to public ways and is served by adequate water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities; (ii) all public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of each Individual Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting such Individual Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve such Individual Property without passing over other property, except to the extent such other property is subject to a perpetual easement for such utility benefiting such Individual Property; and (iii) all roads necessary for the full utilization of each Individual Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.
          (5) No portion of any Individual Property has been or will be purchased with proceeds of any illegal activity.
     Section 7.7 Location of Borrower. Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive offices are located at 110 North Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606.
     Section 7.8 ERISA. Borrower has not established any pension plan for employees which would cause Borrower to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is not an “employee benefit plan,” as

82


 

defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (i) Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (ii) transactions by or with Borrower and each ERISA Affiliate are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.
     Section 7.9 Margin Stock. No part of proceeds of the Loans will be used for purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
     Section 7.10 Tax Filings. Borrower and each Borrower Party have filed (or have obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower and each Borrower Party, respectively.
     Section 7.11 Solvency. Giving effect to the Loans, the fair saleable aggregate value of Borrower’s combined assets (based on the appraised value of the Property) exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loans, exceed Borrower’s total combined liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s combined assets (based on the appraised value of the Property) is and will, immediately following the making of the Loans, be greater than Borrower’s aggregate probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its or their contingent liabilities on its or their debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s combined assets (based on the appraised value of the Property) do not and, immediately following the making of the Loans will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its or their business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Indebtedness and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Indebtedness as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).
     Section 7.12 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower or any Borrower Party in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, statement or questionnaire delivered by Borrower or any Borrower Party in connection with the Loans contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no fact presently known to Borrower or any Borrower Party which has not been disclosed to Administrative Agent, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect as to any Individual Property.
     Section 7.13 Single Purpose Entity. Each of the Borrowers hereby represents, warrants and covenants as follows:
          (1) The purpose for which Borrower, other than the MD Borrowers, is organized is and shall be limited solely to (A) owning, holding, leasing, transferring, operating and managing the Individual Property and all business incidental thereto, (B) refinancing the

83


 

Individual Property in connection with a permitted repayment of the Loans and (C) transacting any and all lawful business for which Borrower may be organized under its constitutive law that is incidental, necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing. The purpose for which each MD Borrower is organized is and shall be limited solely to (y) borrowing the Loan and entering into or assuming the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and (z) transacting any and all lawful business for which MD Borrower may be organized under its constitutive law that is incidental, necessary or appropriate to accomplish the foregoing.
          (2) Except as may be permitted herein, Borrower, other than the MD Borrowers, does not own and will not own or acquire any asset or property other than (A) the Individual Property and (B) incidental personal property necessary for and used or to be used in connection with the ownership, management or operation of the Individual Property. MD Borrower does not and will not own any property.
          (3) Except as may be permitted herein, Borrower, other than the MD Borrowers, does not and will not engage in any business other than the ownership of the ownership, management and operation of the Individual Property or business incidental thereto (including as described in subsection (1) hereof).
          (4) Borrower is not a party to and will not enter into any contract, agreement or transaction with any Affiliate except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially reasonable and substantially similar to those that would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties not so affiliated with Borrower.
          (5) MD Borrower is not liable for and will not incur any Indebtedness other than the Loan. Borrower, other than MD Borrower, is not liable for and will not incur any Indebtedness other than (i) the Indebtedness, (ii) trade and operational debt (collectively “Trade Debt”) incurred in the ordinary course of business with trade creditors in amounts as are normal and reasonable under the circumstances, provided such Trade Debt does not exceed the applicable Trade Debt Threshold Amount, is not evidenced by a note and is not in excess of sixty (60) days past due (unless the same is subject to good faith dispute by Borrower, in appropriate proceedings therefor, and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP), and (iii) Capital Expenditures having a cost in the aggregate not in excess of the Threshold Amount (taking into account all Capital Expenditures which are ongoing or which have not been paid for in full but excluding Trade Debt and the Capital Expenditures for which the applicable Borrower has delivered to Administrative Agent the collateral required by Section 9.14(1) hereof). No Indebtedness other than the Debt may be secured (senior, subordinate or pari passu) by the Individual Property (other than Indebtedness, if any, secured by Permitted Encumbrances and such other Liens approved by Lender or permitted pursuant to this Agreement). For the purposes of determining the cost of Capital Expenditures which are ongoing or which have not been paid in full, any Capital Expenditures for which Borrower has provided the collateral described in Section 9.14 shall be disregarded.
          (6) Borrower has not made and will not make any advance payments other than in the ordinary course of its business or loans to any Person and shall not acquire obligations or securities of any of its Affiliate.

84


 

          (7) Borrower is and will remain solvent, is paying and will pay its debts and liabilities (including, as applicable, shared personnel and overhead expenses) from its assets as the same shall become due (unless the same is subject to good faith dispute by Borrower, as the case may be, in appropriate proceedings therefor, and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP).
          (8) Borrower has done or caused to be done and will do all things necessary to observe organizational formalities and preserve its separate existence, and will not, nor will it permit any of its Affiliates to, amend, modify or otherwise change the operating agreement, as applicable, or other organizational documents of Borrower in any material respect which adversely affects its existence as a Single Purpose Entity or its other obligations with respect to the Loans without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may convert its organization entity type without prior consent of Administrative Agent, provided that Borrower (i) at all times complies with the provisions of this Section 7.13; (ii) delivers, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to Administrative Agent the organizational documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent evidencing such conversion no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the effective date of such conversion; (iii) delivers, at Borrower’s cost and expense, such amendments to all financing statements filed in connection with the Loan, as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent; (iv) delivers, at Borrower’s cost and expense, to Administrative Agent any other document, instrument or certificate that Administrative Agent shall reasonably require; and (v) pays for all of Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket expense, including but not limited to, Administrative Agent’s legal fees incurred in connection with the review of such deliveries.
          (9) Borrower maintains and will maintain all of its books, records, financial statements and bank accounts separate from those of any other Person and, except as required or permitted under GAAP, its assets are not and will not be listed as assets on the financial statement of any other Person. Borrower has filed and will file its own tax returns and will not file a consolidated federal income tax return with any other Person (except that and Borrower may file or may be part of a consolidated federal tax return to the extent required or permitted by applicable law); provided, however, that there shall be an appropriate notation indicating the separate existence of Borrower and its respective assets and liabilities. Borrower maintains and shall maintain its books, records, resolutions and agreements as official records.
          (10) Borrower is and will be, and at all times will hold itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other Person (including any of its respective Affiliates), shall correct any known misunderstanding regarding its status as a separate entity, shall conduct business in its own name, does not and shall not identify itself as a division or part of any other Person and does and shall maintain and utilize a separate telephone number and separate stationery, invoices and checks.
          (11) Borrower does and will maintain adequate capital for the normal obligations reasonably foreseeable in a business of its size and character and in light of its contemplated business operations.

85

          (1) Borrower shall pay before any fine, penalty, interest or cost may be added thereto, and shall not enter into any agreement to defer, any Taxes or Other Charges imposed against each Individual Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable, and will promptly furnish Administrative Agent with evidence of such payment. Borrower shall not suffer or permit the joint assessment of any Individual Property with any other real property constituting a separate tax lot or with any other real or Personal Property.

In such event, the Management Agreement entered into with such Qualifying Manager is subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written approval. Any change in ownership or control of the Manager shall be cause for Administrative Agent to re-approve such Manager and Management Agreement. If at any time Administrative Agent consents to the appointment of a new Manager or if a Qualifying Manager is appointed as provided above, (a) such new Manager and Borrower shall, as a condition of Administrative Agent’s consent, execute a Subordination of Management Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F and (b) such new Manager may not receive as a management fee an amount in excess of three percent (3%) of Operating Revenues.

If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the TIF Agreements on the part of Borrower thereunder to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, upon five (5) Business Days written notice to Borrower (or such shorter period of time as may be necessary to avoid the termination of the TIF Agreements), to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the TIF Agreements on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the TIF Agreements shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower.

Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after demand, all such sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage.

If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, upon reasonable notice to Borrower, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of Tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases or of parties to any Reciprocal Easement Agreement or any Permitted Encumbrance, Administrative Agent and any Person designated as Administrative Agent’s agent by Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to peaceably enter upon the applicable Individual Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice and from time to time upon prior reasonable notice for the purpose of taking any such action. Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent reasonably, in good faith, deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under the Ground Lease. Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after demand, all actual out-of-pocket such sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate. All sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage. If the ground lessor under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Administrativ e Agent a copy of any notice of default sent by said ground lessor to Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Borrower shall exercise each

107


 

individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by Administrative Agent made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and if Borrower shall fail to do so, Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. Except to the extent required by the terms of the Ground Lease, Borrower will not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s interest in all or any part of the applicable Individual Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of Administrative Agent shall have been first had and obtained, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed.
          (2) No Merger of Fee and Leasehold Estates; Releases. So long as any portion of the Debt shall remain unpaid, unless Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, the fee title to that portion of the applicable Individual Property subject to the Ground Lease and the leasehold estate therein created pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in Borrower, Administrative Agent, or in any other Person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise. Administrative Agent reserves the right, at any time, to release portions of the such Individual Property, including, but not limited to, the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease, with or without consideration, at Administrative Agent’s election, without waiving or affecting any of its rights hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents and any such release shall not affect Administrative Agent’s rights in connection with the portion of the applicable Individual Property not so released.
          (3) Borrower’s Acquisition of Fee Estate. In the event that Borrower, so long as any portion of the Debt remains unpaid, shall be the owner and holder of the fee title to that portion of the applicable Individual Property subject to the Ground Lease, the Lien of the Mortgage shall be spread to cover Borrower’s fee title to such portion of the Property and said fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Property and no consent of Administrative Agent is required for Borrower to acquire fee title to that portion of the Property subject to the Ground Lease. Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation Administrative Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to such portion of the Property to the lien of the Mortgage; and (ii) provide a Title Insurance Policy which shall insure that the lien of the Mortgage is a first lien (subject to Permitted Encumbrances) on Borrower’s fee title to such portion of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Ground Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term, and if, pursuant to any provisions of the Ground Lease or otherwise, Administrative Agent or its designee shall acquire from the landlord thereunder another lease of the Property, Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in or to such other lease or the leasehold estate created thereby so long as any part of the Debt remains outstanding.
          (4) Rejection of the Ground Lease.
          (a) In the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease by the landlord thereunder pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, (i) Borrower, promptly after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to Administrative

108


 

Agent, (ii) Borrower, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by Borrower made without such consent shall be void and (iii) the Mortgage and all the Liens, terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage shall extend to and cover Borrower’s possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of the Ground Lease or other termination of the Ground Lease. In addition, Borrower hereby assigns irrevocably to Administrative Agent, Borrower’s rights to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to offset Ground Rents under the Ground Lease in the event any case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against the landlord under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights and shall permit Borrower to exercise such rights with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
          (b) Borrower hereby assigns to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders Borrower’s right to seek an extension of the 60-day period within which Borrower must accept or reject the Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Administrative Agent shall not exercise such right, and shall permit Borrower to exercise such right with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Further, if Borrower shall desire to so reject the Ground Lease, at Administrative Agent’s request, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Ground Lease and Applicable Law, Borrower shall assign its interest in the Ground Lease to Administrative Agent in lieu of rejecting such Ground Lease as described above, upon receipt by Borrower of written notice from Administrative Agent of such request together with Administrative Agent’s agreement to cure any existing defaults of Borrower under the Ground Lease and to provide adequate assurance of future performance of Borrower’s obligations thereunder.
          (c) Borrower hereby agrees that if the Ground Lease is terminated for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, any property of Borrower not removed from the applicable Individual Property by Borrower as permitted or required by the Ground Lease, shall at the option of Administrative Agent be deemed abandoned by Borrower, provided that Administrative Agent may remove any such property required to be removed by Borrower pursuant to the Ground Lease and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such removal shall be paid by Borrower within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Borrower of an invoice for such removal costs and expenses.
          Section 9.26 Condominium Provisions.
          (1) Borrower shall diligently and timely pay, perform and observe all of the material terms, covenants and conditions required to be performed by Borrower under the Condominium Documents to the extent that the same apply to the applicable Individual Property.

109


 

          (2) Borrower shall pay when due all common charges and other amounts as and when payable by Borrower under the Condominium Documents.
          (3) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may vote in place of Borrower and may exercise any and all of Borrower’s voting rights under the Condominium Documents. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest to vote as Borrower’s proxy and to act with respect to all of said rights so long as such Event of Default is continuing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, nothing contained herein or otherwise shall render Administrative Agent or any Lender liable for any common charges or other fees.
          (4) Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent a true, complete and correct copy of all notices of default received by Borrower with respect to any obligation or duty of Borrower under the Condominium Documents.
          (5) Borrower will comply with all requirements set forth in the Condominium Documents applicable to transfers of ownership of the applicable Individual Property or obtain a waiver of any such condition(s) prior to the consummation of any transfers of ownership of the Property or any interest therein to the extent required by the Condominium Documents.
          (6) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) (i) terminate or permit the termination of any of the Condominium Documents or (ii) modify, change, supplement, alter or amend any of the Condominium Documents, or permit any of the Condominium Documents to be modified, changed, supplemented, altered or amended, and any such termination, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of any of the Condominium Documents in violation of the foregoing without the consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force and effect.
          (7) Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) in the event of damage to or destruction of the applicable Individual Property, vote not to Restore the applicable Individual Property unless such Restoration of the applicable Individual Property is required pursuant to any Lease.
          (8) In each and every case in which, under the provisions of the Condominium Documents, the consent or any other approval or vote of Borrower is required with respect to any action that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect on the applicable Individual Property, Borrower shall not vote nor give such consent or approval without, in each and every case, the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
          (9) Borrower shall not, while Borrower and its Affiliates control the Board of Directors, without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed permit the Board of Directors to incur any indebtedness, other than as permitted under the Condominium Documents, or to encumber the applicable Individual Property or any interest therein.

110


 

          (10) If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any of the Condominium Documents on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed after the expiration of applicable grace and cure periods, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right (following five (5) Business Days notice to Borrower, or such shorter time as may be required to avoid an event of default under the Condominium Documents), but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Condominium Documents on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower, to the end that the rights of Borrower in, to and under any of the Condominium Documents shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by Borrower or by any party on behalf of Borrower. If Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take any action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Administrative Agent will notify Borrower of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the applicable Condominium Documents, the rights of tenants under Leases and other occupants, the applicable Reciprocal Easement Agreement and Permitted Encumbrances, Administrative Agent and any person designated by Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the applicable Individual Property or the building located thereon at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as Administrative Agent reasonably deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the applicable parties under the Condominium Documents. Borrower hereby agrees to pay Administrative Agent within five (5) days after demand, all such reasonable out-of-pocket sums so paid and expended by Administrative Agent , together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at the Default Rate.

          (a) Administrative Agent will not, without the consent of each Lender, agree to the following (provided that no Lender’s consent shall be required for any of the following which are otherwise required or contemplated under the Loan Documents): (i) reduce, discount or otherwise adjust the principal amount of the Loans or reduce the interest rate thereon; (ii) extend any stated Payment Date (including but not limited to the Maturity Date) for principal of or interest on the Loans payable to such Lender; (iii) release or forgive Borrower, any Guarantor or any other party from liability under the Loan Documents (except for any assigning Lender pursuant to Section 12.24 and any resigning Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.8); (iv) release or subordinate in whole or in part any material portion of the collateral given as security for the Loans or agree to the replacement or substitution of collateral; (v) modify any of the provisions of this Section 12.2 or Section 14.8, the definition of “Majority Lenders” or any other provision in the Loan Documents specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any agreement, request, direction, instruction or determination or grant any consent thereunder; (vi) modify the terms of any Event of Default; or (vii) consent to (A) the sale, transfer or encumbrance of any portion of the Properties or any Individual Property (or any interest therein) or any direct or indirect ownership interest therein and (B) the incurrence by Borrower of any additional Indebtedness secured by the Properties or any Individual Property; in each case, subject to any standard of reasonability required under the Loan Documents.

117


 

          (2) Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained in this Agreement, any modification or supplement of Article 14, or of any of the rights or duties of Administrative Agent hereunder, shall require the consent of Administrative Agent.
     Section 12.3 Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to applicable usury laws. Accordingly, all agreements between Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Loans are hereby expressly limited so that in no event, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Administrative Agent or any Lender or charged by any Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the money to be lent hereunder or otherwise, exceed the Maximum Legal Rate. If the Loans would be usurious under Applicable Law (including the laws of any State and the laws of the United States of America), then, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents: (1) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under Applicable Law that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged or received under the Loan Documents shall under no circumstances exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, and any excess shall be credited on the Notes by the holders thereof (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower); and (2) if maturity is accelerated by reason of an election by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof, or in the event of any prepayment, then any consideration which constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Legal Rate. In such case, excess interest, if any, provided for in the Loan Documents or otherwise, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread from the date of advance until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest is uniform through the term hereof and never exceeds the Maximum Legal Rate. If such amortization, proration, allocation and spreading is not permitted under Applicable Law, then such excess interest shall be cancelled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the Notes (or, if the Notes have been paid in full, refunded to Borrower). The terms and provisions of this Section 12.3 shall control and supersede every other provision of the Loan Documents. If at any time the laws of the United States of America permit the Lenders to contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive a higher rate of interest than is allowed by the laws of any State (whether such federal laws directly so provide or refer to the law of any State), then such federal laws shall to such extent govern as to the rate of interest which the Lenders may contract for, take, reserve, charge or receive under the Loan Documents.
     Section 12.4 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of any Loan Document is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be fully severable, the Loan Documents shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof, the remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom, and in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible to be legal, valid and enforceable.
     Section 12.5 Reimbursement of Expenses. Borrower shall pay or reimburse Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders within five (5) days after receipt of an invoice setting forth in reasonable detail: (1) all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the Loans, including reasonable fees and expenses of Administrative Agent’s attorneys, environmental, engineering and other consultants,

118


 

and fees, charges or taxes for the negotiation, recording or filing of Loan Documents, (2) except as otherwise provided in this Loan Agreement, all reasonable and actual out-of-pocket third-party expenses of Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the Loans, including audit costs, reasonable inspection fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursement, settlement of Awards and Insurance Proceeds, and premiums for title insurance and endorsements thereto, (3) all of Administrative Agent’s reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s external counsel) incurred in connection with the pre-closing Syndication of the Loans to the Lenders, and (4) Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all amounts expended, advanced or incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to collect the Notes, or to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to defend or assert the rights and claims of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents or with respect to any Individual Property (by litigation or other proceedings), which amounts will include all court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees of auditors and accountants, and investigation expenses as may be incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with any such matters (whether or not litigation is instituted), together with interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, or if applicable, the Default Rate on each such amount from the date of disbursement until the date of reimbursement to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all of which shall constitute part of the Loans and shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
     Section 12.6 Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions. All approval rights retained or exercised by Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters are solely to facilitate the Lenders’ credit underwriting, and shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that the Lenders have passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower or any other Person. This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. All conditions of the obligations of Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including the obligation to make advances, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, their successors and assigns, and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions or be entitled to assume that the Lenders will refuse to make advances in the absence of strict compliance with any or all of such conditions, and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Administrative Agent and the Lenders at any time in their sole and absolute discretion.
     Section 12.7 Lenders and Administrative Agent Not in Control; No Partnership. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be deemed to, give Administrative Agent or any Lender the right or power to exercise control over the affairs or management of Borrower, the power of Administrative Agent and the Lenders being limited to the rights to exercise the remedies referred to in the Loan Documents. The relationship between Borrower and the Lenders is, and at all times shall remain, solely that of debtor and creditor. No covenant or provision of the Loan Documents is intended, nor shall it be deemed or construed, to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower or to create an equity in the Property or any Individual Property in Administrative Agent or any Lender. Administrative

119


 

Agent and the Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property, any Individual Property or the Loans, except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents; and notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents: (1) neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is, nor shall be construed as, a partner, joint venturer, alter ego, manager, controlling Person or other business associate or participant of any kind of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners and neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender intends to ever assume such status; (2) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall in any event be liable for any Indebtedness, expenses or losses incurred or sustained by Borrower; and (3) no Lender or Administrative Agent shall be deemed responsible for or a participant in any acts, omissions or decisions of Borrower or its stockholders, members, or partners. Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower disclaim any intention to create any partnership, joint venture, agency or common interest in profits or income between Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower, or to create an equity in the Property or any Individual Property in Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any sharing of liabilities, losses, costs or expenses.
     Section 12.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement.
     Section 12.9 Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.24, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
     Section 12.10 Renewal, Extension or Rearrangement. All provisions of the Loan Documents shall apply with equal effect to each and all promissory notes and amendments thereof hereinafter executed which in whole or in part represent a renewal, extension, increase or rearrangement of the Loans. For portfolio management purposes, the Lenders may elect to divide the Loans into two or more separate loans evidenced by separate promissory notes so long as the payment and other obligations of Borrower are not effectively increased or otherwise modified. Borrower agrees to cooperate with Administrative Agent and the Lenders and to execute such documents as Administrative Agent reasonably may request to effect such division of the Loans.
     Section 12.11 Waivers. No course of dealing on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender, their officers, employees, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to exercising any right, power or privilege of Administrative Agent or any Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof except as specifically set forth in this Loan Agreement.
     Section 12.12 Cumulative Rights. Rights and remedies of Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.
     Section 12.13 Singular and Plural. Words used in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in the singular, where the context so permits, shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. The definitions of words in the singular in this Agreement and the other Loan

     Section 12.16 Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections. All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or other divisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or the exhibits hereto and thereto are only for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles, sections, subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the agreement between the parties hereto.

Administrative Agent and the Lenders each hereby agree that, without the prior written consent of Borrower, any written information relating to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower which is provided to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the making of the Loan which is either confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not generally available to the public (but excluding information Administrative Agent or any Lender has obtained independently from third-party sources without Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s knowledge that the source has violated any fiduciary or other duty not to disclose such information) (the “Confidential Information”), will be kept confidential by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, using the same standard of care in safeguarding the Confidential

Except to the extent specifically set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents, all of the representations, warranties, covenants, and indemnities of Borrower hereunder (the obligations under Sections 2.9(1), 2.9(5) and 2.9(6)), and under the indemnification provisions of the other Loan Documents shall survive until the earlier of (a) the repayment in full of the Loans or (b) the transfer (by sale, foreclosure, conveyance in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise) of any or all right, title and interest in and to the Property or any Individual Property to any party, whether or not an Affiliate of Borrower.
     Section 12.19 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders, or their agents, acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by Applicable Law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent, any Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, or otherwise violated this Agreement or the Loan Documents, Borrower agrees that none of Administrative Agent, the Lenders or their agents shall be liable for any incidental, indirect, special, punitive, consequential or speculative damages or losses resulting from such failure to act reasonably or promptly in accordance with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

          (2) Assignments by the Lenders. Each Lender may assign any of its Loans, its Note and its Commitment (but only, except as specifically set forth below, with (A) the consent of Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld and (B) the consent of Borrower, provided however that the consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing); provided that:
          (a) no such consent by Administrative Agent or Borrower shall be required in the case of any assignment by any Lender to another Lender or an Affiliate of such Lender or such other Lender (provided that in the case of an assignment to any such Affiliate, unless the assignee is an Eligible Assignee, the assigning Lender will not be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents and Administrative Agent and Borrower may continue to deal only with such assigning Lender);
          (b) except to the extent Administrative Agent and Borrower (such consent of Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld and provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) shall otherwise consent, any such partial assignment (other than to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000;
          (c) each such assignment (including an assignment to another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender) by a Lender of its Loans or Commitment shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Loans and Commitment is assigned to the respective assignee;
          (d) subject to the applicable Lender’s compliance with the provisions of clauses (b) and (c) above, Administrative Agent’s consent and Borrower’s consent to an assignment shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that the consent of Borrower shall not be required if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) if (i) such assignment is made to an Eligible Assignee and provided further that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such assignment may be made to any Person, and (ii) the provisions of clause (e) have been satisfied;
          (e) upon execution and delivery by the assignee (even if already a Lender) to Borrower and Administrative Agent of an Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which such assignee agrees to become a “Lender” hereunder (if not already a Lender) having the Commitment and Loans specified in such instrument, and upon consent thereto by Administrative Agent to the extent required above, the assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise consented to by Administrative Agent), the obligations, rights and benefits of a Lender hereunder holding the Commitment and Loans (or portions thereof) assigned to it (in addition to the Commitment and Loans, if any, theretofore held by such assignee) and ,except as provided in Section 12.24(2)(a), the assigning Lender shall, to the extent

125


 

of such assignment, be released from the Commitment (or portion thereof) so assigned. Upon each such assignment the assigning Lender shall pay Administrative Agent a processing and recording fee of $3,500 and the reasonable fees and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s counsel incurred in connection therewith; and
          (f) no such assignment shall be to an assignee who, on the date such assignment becomes effective, is subject to compensation pursuant to paragraphs (a) or (b) of Section 2.9(1) hereof or the additional compensation described in Section 2.9(6) hereof.
          (3) Participations.
          (a) A Lender may sell or agree to sell to one or more other Persons (each a “Participant”) a participation in all or any part of any Loans held by it, or in its Commitment, provided (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged and unaffected thereby, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; (C) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (D) such Participant is an Eligible Assignee, provided that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing such Participant is not required to be an Eligible Assignee and (E) such Participant is not a Competitor of Borrower. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation agree with the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document except that such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon, or any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest or fee. Subject to subsection (3)(b) of this Section 12.24, Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.9(1) and 2.9(6) (without duplication of the benefits afforded to the applicable lender) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (2) of this Section 12.24. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of this Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to this Section 12.24 as though it were a Lender.
          (b) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9(1) or 2.9(6) than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. A Participant that is a non-U.S. Person that would become a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9(6) unless Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrower, to comply with Section 2.9(6) as though it were a Lender.
          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the term Lender include a Participant.

126


 

          (4) Certain Pledges. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.24 (but without being subject thereto), any Lender may (without notice to Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Note to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and Note shall be fully transferable as provided therein. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.
          (5) Provision of Information to Assignees and Participants. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, any Borrower Party, any of their respective Affiliates, the Property or any Individual Property in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and Participants (including prospective assignees and Participants); provided, however, that no Lender may provide any such information to a Participant that is a Competitor of Borrower.
          (6) Pfandbreif Pledges. Each Lender may pledge any or all of their interest in the Loan to the bondholders (as a collective whole), or their nominee, collateral agent or security trustee, under, or the trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees) of, a mortgage pool securing covered mortgage bonds issued by a German mortgage bank, or by any other Person meeting the eligibility requirements and permitted to issue covered mortgage bonds, under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, or any substitute or successor legislation.
          (7) No Assignments to Borrower or Affiliates. Anything in this Section 12.24 to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of each Lender.

     Section 12.26 Right of Set-off.
          (1) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each of the Lenders is, subject (as between the Lenders) to the provisions of subsection (3) of this Section 12.26, hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower) and to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held, and other Indebtedness at any time owing, by such Lender in any of its offices, in Dollars or in any other currency, to or for the credit or the account of

127


 

Borrower against any and all of the respective obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or any other Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured and such deposits or Indebtedness may be unmatured. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien, or similar rights against any deposit or other Indebtedness of Borrower whether or not located in any other state with certain laws restricting lenders from pursuing multiple collection methods, could result under such laws in significant impairment of the ability of all the Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees that no Lender shall exercise any such right of set-off, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower (including all general or special, time or demand, provisional or other deposits and other Indebtedness owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders.
          (2) Provided that the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders is obtained pursuant to Section 12.26(1) above, each Lender shall promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Lenders under this Section 12.26 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lenders may have.
          (3) If an Event of Default has resulted in the Loans becoming due and payable prior to the stated maturity thereof, each Lender agrees that it shall turn over to Administrative Agent any payment (whether voluntary or involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) on account of the Loans held by it in excess of its ratable portion of payments on account of the Loans obtained by all the Lenders.
     Section 12.27 Intentionally Deleted.
     Section 12.28 Cooperation with Syndication. Borrower acknowledges that Arranger intends to syndicate a portion of the Commitments to one or more Lenders (the “Syndication”) and in connection therewith, Borrower will take all actions as Arranger may reasonably request to assist Arranger in its Syndication effort. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower shall, at the request of Arranger (i) reasonably facilitate the review of the Loan and each Individual Property by any prospective Lender; (ii) assist Arranger and otherwise cooperate with Arranger in the preparation of information offering materials (which assistance may include reviewing and commenting on drafts of such information materials and drafting portions thereof); (iii) deliver updated information on Borrower and the Property; (iv) make representatives of Borrower available to meet with prospective Lenders at tours of each Individual Property and bank meetings; (v) facilitate direct contact between the senior management and advisors of Borrower and any prospective Lender; and (vi) provide Arranger with all information reasonably deemed necessary by it to complete the Syndication successfully. Borrower agrees to take such further action, in connection with documents and amendments to the Loan Documents, as may reasonably be required to effect such Syndication.

Borrower (but not any partner, member, shareholder, employee, directors or officer of Borrower other than Guarantor or MD Guarantor) shall be personally liable to Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any deficiency, loss or damage suffered by Administrative Agent or any Lender because of:

          (4) the fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any Borrower Party made in or in connection with the Loan Documents or the Loan;
          (5) Borrower’s interference in any material respect with Administrative Agent’s exercise of rights under the Assignment of Leases;
          (6) to the extent that Operating Revenues are sufficient therefore and Borrower nonetheless fails to pay the same, Borrower’s failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement or to pay any Taxes or Other Charges affecting any Individual Property or any mortgage recording or similar taxes required to be paid by any Person in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents;
          (7) damage or destruction to any Individual Property caused by the intentional acts or omissions of Borrower or any of its Affiliates; or

129


 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (A) neither Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have waived any right which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have under Sections 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code, as such sections may be amended, to file a claim for the full amount due to Administrative Agent or such Lender under the Loan Documents or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure the amounts due under the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that: (I) there is a default under Section 7.13, which results in the substantive consolidation of Borrower with another Person; (II) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (III) any Person (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender) filing an involuntary petition against Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law in which Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliate colludes with, or otherwise assists, such Person (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender), (IV) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender) under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person (other than Administrative Agent or any Lender); (V) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor or any portion of any Individual Property; or (VI) Borrower, MD Guarantor or Guarantor making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due.
     Section 13.2 Joint and Several. Subject to Section 13.1, each of the Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Debt and performance of all other obligations of Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
     Section 13.3 Contribution Among Borrowers. Notwithstanding that the Borrowers are jointly and severally liable to Lender for payment of the Loan, subject to Section 13.1, as among the Borrowers, each shall be liable only for such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount (as hereinafter defined) and, accordingly, each Borrower whose Collateral or other assets are, from time to time, utilized to satisfy a portion of the Debt in excess of such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount, shall be entitled, commencing 95 days after payment in full of the Debt, to contribution from each of the other Borrowers pro-rata in accordance with their respective liabilities in accordance with this Agreement. As used herein, “Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount” means each Borrower’s proportionate share of the outstanding Principal amount of the Loan based on the Allocated Loan Amount attributed to the Individual Properties owned by such Borrower. Therefore, as of the date hereof, each Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount is equal to the Allocated Loan Amount for such Borrower set forth on Exhibit A, and each Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount shall be proportionately reduced each time a Principal payment is made towards the Loan. Nothing in this Section 13.3 is intended or shall be deemed to affect the Partial Release Price payable in connection with any release pursuant to Section 2.6(1) hereof.

ARTICLE 14
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
     Section 14.1 Appointment, Powers and Immunities. Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to act as its agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with such powers as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Administrative Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 14.5 and the first sentence of Section 14.6 shall include reference to its Affiliates and its Affiliates’ officers, directors, employees and agents):
          (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, and shall not by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document be a trustee for any Lender except to the extent that Administrative Agent acts as an agent with respect to the receipt or payment of funds, nor shall Administrative Agent have any fiduciary duty to Borrower nor shall any Lender have any fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other Lender;
          (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any other document referred to or provided for herein or therein or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder;
          (c) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith, except to the extent any such action taken or omitted violates Administrative Agent’s standard of care set forth in the first sentence of Section 14.5;
          (d) shall not, except to the extent expressly instructed by the Majority Lenders with respect to collateral security under the Security Documents, be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder or under any other Loan Document; and

131


 

Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact, and may delegate all or any part of its obligations hereunder, to third parties and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents, attorneys-in-fact or third parties selected by it in good faith. Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of a Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent, any such assignment or transfer to be subject to the provisions of Section 12.24. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 14.8, the provisions of this Article 14 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof and the Lenders may modify or waive such provisions of this Article 14 in their sole and absolute discretion.
     Section 14.2 Reliance by Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including, without limitation, any thereof by telephone, telecopy, telegram or cable) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected by Administrative Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or thereunder in accordance with instructions given by the Majority Lenders, and such instructions of the Majority Lenders and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders.
     Section 14.3 Defaults.
          (1) Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower specifying such Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default”. In the event that Administrative Agent receives such a Notice of Default, Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. Within ten (10) days of delivery of such Notice of Default from Administrative Agent to the Lenders (or such shorter period of time as Administrative Agent determines is necessary), Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult with each other to determine a proposed course of action. Administrative Agent shall (subject to Section 14.7) take such action with respect to such Event of Default as shall be directed by the Majority Lenders, provided that, (A) in the event that the Majority Lenders fail to timely provide directions to Administrative Agent with respect to the Event of Default, Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, including decisions (1) to make protective advances that Administrative Agent determines are necessary to protect or maintain the Properties or any Individual Property and (2) exercise any remedy available under the Loan Documents or applicable law, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the interest of the Lenders except to the extent that this Agreement expressly requires that such action be taken, or not be taken, only with the consent or upon the authorization of all of the Lenders or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be, and (B) no actions approved by the Majority Lenders or by all Lenders shall violate the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.

Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of all material actions which Administrative Agent takes in

132


 

accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3(1) and shall continue to consult with the Lenders with respect to all of such actions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Majority Lenders shall at any time direct that a different or additional remedial action be taken from that already undertaken by Administrative Agent, including the commencement of foreclosure proceedings, such different or additional remedial action shall be taken in lieu of or in addition to, the prosecution of such action taken by Administrative Agent; provided that all actions already taken by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 14.3(1) shall be valid and binding on each Lender. All money (other than money subject to the provisions of Section 14.7) received from any enforcement actions, including the proceeds of a foreclosure sale of the Properties or any Individual Property, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14; third, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); and fourth, pari passu to the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.
          (2) All losses with respect to interest (including interest at the Default Rate) and other sums payable pursuant to the Notes or incurred in connection with the Loans shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loans. All losses incurred in connection with the Loans, the enforcement thereof or the realization of the security therefor, shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares of the Loan, and the Lenders shall promptly, upon request, remit to Administrative Agent their respective proportionate shares of (i) any expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with any Default to the extent any expenses have not been paid by Borrower, (ii) any advances made to pay taxes or insurance or otherwise to preserve the Lien of the Security Documents or to preserve and protect the Properties or any Individual Property, whether or not the amount necessary to be advanced for such purposes exceeds the amount of the Mortgage, (iii) any other expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or other Loan Documents, and (iv) any expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the Loans not paid or provided for by Borrower. To the extent any such advances are recovered in connection with the enforcement of the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, each Lender shall be paid its proportionate share of such recovery after deduction of the expenses of Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
          (3) If, pursuant to the terms of this Article XIV, any action(s) is brought to collect on the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to collect on all or a portion of the Notes or enforce the Security Documents or any other Loan Document and counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such action on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver while such action is pending, the conduct of such receivership, the

133


 

conduct of such action, the collection of any judgment entered in such action and the settlement of such action shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of any such action shall be borne by the Lenders in accordance with each of their respective proportionate shares.
          (4) If, pursuant to the terms of this Article XIV, any action(s) is brought to foreclose the Mortgage, such action shall (to the extent permitted under Applicable Law and the decisions of the court in which such action is brought) be an action brought by Administrative Agent and the Lenders, collectively, to foreclose all or a portion of the Mortgage and collect on the Notes. Counsel selected by Administrative Agent shall prosecute any such foreclosure on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall consult and cooperate with each other in the prosecution thereof. All decisions concerning the appointment of a receiver, the conduct of such foreclosure, the acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the bid on behalf of Administrative Agent and the Lenders at the foreclosure sale of the Properties or any Individual Property, the manner of taking and holding title to the Properties or any Individual Property (other than as set forth in subsection (5) below), the sale of the Properties or any Individual Property after foreclosure, and the commencement and conduct of any deficiency judgment proceeding shall be made by Administrative Agent. The costs and expenses of foreclosure will be borne by the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares.
          (5) If title is acquired to the Properties or any Individual Property after a foreclosure sale or by a deed in lieu of foreclosure, title shall be held by Administrative Agent in its own name in trust for the Lenders or, at Administrative Agent’s election, in the name of a wholly owned subsidiary of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders.
          (6) If Administrative Agent (or its subsidiary) acquires title to the Properties or any Individual Property or is entitled to possession of the Properties or such Individual Property during or after the foreclosure, all material decisions with respect to the possession, ownership, development, construction, control, operation, leasing, management and sale of the Properties or such Individual Property shall be made by Administrative Agent. All income or other money received after so acquiring title to or taking possession of the Properties or such Individual Property, including income from the operation and management of the Properties or such Individual Property and the proceeds of a sale of the Properties or such Individual Property, shall be applied, first, to the payment or reimbursement of Administrative Agent and the expenses incurred in accordance with the provisions of this Article 14 and to the payment of the Agency Fee to the extent not paid by Borrower pursuant to Section 14.11, second, to the payment of Operating Expenses with respect to the Properties or such Individual Property; third, to the establishment of reasonable reserves for the operation of the Properties or such Individual Property; fourth, to the payment or reimbursement of the Lenders for any advances made pursuant to Section 14.3(2); fifth to fund any capital improvement, leasing and other reserves; and sixth, to the Lenders in accordance with their respective proportionate shares, unless an Unpaid Amount is owed pursuant to Section 14.12, in which event such Unpaid Amount shall be deducted from the portion of such proceeds of the Defaulting Lender and be applied to payment of such Unpaid Amount to the Special Advance Lender.

134


 

     Section 14.4 Rights as a Lender. With respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) in its capacity as a Lender hereunder shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. Eurohypo (and any successor acting as Administrative Agent) and its Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Lender) lend money to, make investments in and generally engage in any kind of lending, trust or other business with Borrower (and any of its Affiliates) as if it were not acting as Administrative Agent, and Eurohypo and its Affiliates may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.
     Section 14.5 Standard of Care; Indemnification. In performing its duties under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent will exercise the same degree of care as it normally exercises in connection with real estate loans in which no syndication or participations are involved, but Administrative Agent shall have no further responsibility to any Lender except as expressly provided herein and except for its own gross negligence or wilful misconduct which resulted in actual loss to such Lender, and, except to such extent, Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility to any Lender for the failure by Administrative Agent to comply with any of Administrative Agent’s obligations to Borrower under the Loan Documents or otherwise. The Lenders agree to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed under Section 12.5, but without limiting the obligations of Borrower under Section 12.5) ratably in accordance with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans held by the Lenders (or, if no Loans are at the time outstanding, ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments), for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent (including by any Lender) arising out of or by reason of any investigation in or in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the costs and expenses that Borrower is obligated to pay under Section 12.5, but excluding, unless a Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, normal administrative costs and expenses incident to the performance of its agency duties hereunder) or the enforcement of any of the terms hereof or thereof or of any such other documents, provided that no Lender shall be liable for any of the foregoing to the extent they arise from Administrative Agent’s breach of its standard of care set forth in the first sentence of this Section.
     Section 14.6 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance on Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of Borrower and its Affiliates and decision to enter into this Agreement and that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.

     Section 14.7 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of Administrative Agent hereunder, and under the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder and thereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 14.5 against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.
     Section 14.8 Resignation of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower, and the Majority Lenders (other than Administrative Agent) may remove Administrative Agent at any time for gross negligence or wilful misconduct by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice and cure period to Administrative Agent, Borrower and all other Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent that shall be (i) Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC , or (ii) a Person that meets the qualifications of an Eligible Assignee and, prior to an Event of Default, is otherwise reasonably acceptable to Borrower. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or its receipt of notice of removal, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, that shall be an institutional lender that meets the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 14.8). The fees payable by Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provision of this Article 14 and Section 12.5 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
     Section 14.9 Consents under Loan Documents. Administrative Agent may as expressly provided in the Loan Documents and, if not expressly provided, with the consent of the Majority Lenders (a) grant any consent or approval required of it or (b) consent to any modification, supplement or waiver under any of the Loan Documents; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to Section 14.3.

136


 

approvals from the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents (other than under Section 14.3 hereof, each Lender shall within ten (10) Business Days of receiving such request, give Administrative Agent written notice of its consent or approval or denial thereof; provided that, other than with respect to the decisions by the Lenders under Section 12.2(1)(a), if any Lender does not respond within such ten (10) Business Days, such Lender shall be deemed to have authorized Administrative Agent to vote such Lender’s interest with respect to the matter which was the subject of Administrative Agent’s solicitation as Administrative Agent elects. Any such solicitation by Administrative Agent for a consent or approval shall be in writing and shall include a description of the matter or thing as to which such consent or approval is requested and shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof.

With regard to any action described in this Section 14.9 for which Lender’s consent is required, Administrative Agent shall submit such request for Lender’s approval in an envelope labeled “Priority” and delivered to Lender by overnight delivery and otherwise in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.1 and which request shall state at the top of the first page in bold lettering in 14 pt. font “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A LOAN AGREEMENT AND YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND MAY BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE YOUR CONSENT TO THE ACTION FOR WHICH YOUR CONSENT IS SOLICITED.”
     Section 14.10 Authorization. Administrative Agent is hereby authorized by the Lenders to execute, deliver and perform in accordance with the terms of each of the Loan Documents to which Administrative Agent is or is intended to be a party and each Lender agrees to be bound by all of the agreements of Administrative Agent contained in such Loan Documents. Borrower shall be entitled to rely on all written agreements, approvals and consents received from Administrative Agent as being that also of the Lenders, without obtaining separate acknowledgment or proof of authorization of same.
     Section 14.11 Agency Fee. So long as the Commitments are in effect and until payment in full of all obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for its sole account, the Agency Fee. The Agency Fee shall be payable quarterly in advance commencing on the Closing Date of the Initial Advance pursuant to the Fee Letter.
     Section 14.12 Defaulting Lenders.
          (1) If any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall for any reason fail to (i) make any respective Loan required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or (ii) pay its proportionate share of an advance or disbursement to protect the Properties, any Individual Property or the Lien of the Security Documents, any of the other Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, make all or a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Loan or proportionate share of such advance, provided that such Lender gives the Defaulting Lender, Borrower and Administrative Agent prior notice of its intention to do so. The right to make such advances in respect of the Defaulting Lender shall be exercisable first by the Lender holding the greatest proportionate share and thereafter to each of the Lenders in descending order of their respective proportionate shares of the Loans or in such other manner as the Majority Lenders (excluding the Defaulting Lender) may agree on. Any Lender making all or any portion of the Defaulting

137


 

Lender’s proportionate share of the applicable Loan or advance in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions shall be referred to as a “Special Advance Lender”.
          (2) In any case where a Lender becomes a Special Advance Lender (i) the Special Advance Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, and the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have sold, a senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s respective Loan to the extent of the amount so advanced or disbursed (the “Advanced Amount”) bearing interest (including interest at the Default Rate, if applicable) and (ii) the Defaulting Lender shall have no voting rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents so long as it is a Defaulting Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that each of the respective obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including advancing Loans, losses incurred in connection with the Loan, including costs and expenses of enforcement, advancing to preserve the Lien of the Mortgage or to preserve and protect the Properties or any Individual Property, shall be without regard to any adjustment in the proportionate shares occasioned by the acts of a Defaulting Lender. The Special Advance Lender shall be entitled to an amount (the “Unpaid Amount”) equal to the applicable Advanced Amount, plus any unpaid interest due and owing with respect thereto, less any repayments thereof made by the Defaulting Lender immediately upon demand. The Defaulting Lender shall have the right to repurchase the senior participation in its Loan from the Special Advance Lender at any time by the payment of the Unpaid Amount.
          (3) A Special Advance Lender shall (i) give notice to the Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders (provided that failure to deliver said notice to any party other than the Defaulting Lender shall not constitute a default under this Agreement) of the Advanced Amount and the percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan and (ii) in the event of the repayment of any of the Unpaid Amount by the Defaulting Lender, give notice to the Defaulting Lender and Administrative Agent of the fact that the Unpaid Amount has been repaid (in whole or in part), the amount of such repayment and, if applicable, the revised percentage of the Special Advance Lender’s senior participation. Provided that Administrative Agent has received notice of such participation, Administrative Agent shall have the same obligations to distribute interest, principal and other sums received by Administrative Agent with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation as Administrative Agent has with respect to the distribution of interest, principal and other sums under this Agreement; and at the time of making any distributions to the Lenders, shall make payments to the Special Advance Lender with respect to a Special Advance Lender’s senior participation in the Defaulting Lender’s Loan out of the Defaulting Lender’s share of any such distributions.
          (4) A Defaulting Lender shall immediately pay to a Special Advance Lender all sums of any kind paid to or received by the Defaulting Lender from Borrower, whether pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or in connection with the realization of the security therefor until the Unpaid Amount is fully repaid. Notwithstanding the fact that the Defaulting Lender may temporarily hold such sums, the Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to hold same as a trustee for the benefit of the Special Advance Lender, it being the express intention of the Lenders that the Special Advance Lender shall have an ownership interest in such sums to the extent of the Unpaid Amount.

138


 

          (5) Each Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and interest at the Default Rate) which they may sustain or incur by reason of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, except to the extent a Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender due to the gross negligence or wilful misconduct of Administrative Agent and/or any Lender. Administrative Agent shall, after payment of any amounts due to any Special Advance Lender pursuant to the terms of subsection (3) above, set-off against any payments due to such Defaulting Lender for the claims of Administrative Agent and the other Lenders pursuant to this indemnity.
     Section 14.13 Liability of Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall not have any liabilities or responsibilities to Borrower on account of the failure of any Lender (other than Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender) to perform its obligations hereunder or to any Lender on account of the failure of Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
     Section 14.14 Transfer of Agency Function. Without the consent of Borrower or any Lender, Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time transfer its functions as Administrative Agent hereunder to any of its offices wherever located in the United States; provided that Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
