(b) Borrower is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral, will create a valid, perfected first priority lien on, and security interest in and to, the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof.
4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets are greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond Borrower’s ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any of their constituent Persons, and neither Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, nor any of their constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower nor any of their constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any petition against Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any of their constituent Persons.
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of Borrower (i) in connection with the Loan Application, (ii) in this Agreement, or (iii) in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, Borrower, the Collateral, any Mortgage Borrower, any Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, or Guarantor.

 

42


 

4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. Compliance by Borrower and Guarantor with the provisions hereof will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. Neither Guarantor nor Borrower has any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and is now continuing with respect to any such plan. The performance by Borrower of its obligations under the Loan Documents and Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of Section 2(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (c) neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers, Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is at the date hereof, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the date hereof, an employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a “contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan; and neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers, Guarantor nor any ERISA Affiliate has any contingent liability, other than COBRA continuation of coverage obligations imposed by state law, with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to the Lender in writing.
4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers and the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrowers (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, there has not been committed by Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of any Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against one or more of the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as constructed at each Property, nor the use of any Property by tenants under the Leases and the contemplated accessory uses will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning, building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building permits, restrictions or record, or agreements affecting any Property or any part thereof. Neither the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor any other right to construct or to use any Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the applicable Property.

Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on Borrower, the Collateral, any Mortgage Borrower or any Property or the operation thereof as a retail, office or a commercial property, as applicable, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material Adverse Change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. Each Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such Property for its intended uses.

All roads necessary for the use of each Property for such Property’s current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

44


 

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, 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 (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.
4.1.19 No Prior Assignment.

To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no claims provided to Borrower relating to the Properties have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain unsatisfied under any such Policies, and no Person, including Borrower and any Mortgage Borrower, has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such Policies.

The tenant under each Lease is currently operating its business within the Improvements demised thereby. Each Mortgage Borrower is the owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases appurtenant to the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower.

for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, (i) Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement hereof, and (ii) if the tenant under a Lease pays such Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable authority and Borrower causes such Mortgage Borrower to timely request and diligently pursue evidence of payment, and further provided that no enforcement action has been commenced by the applicable authority resulting from such tenant’s failure to pay Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to provide such evidence to Lender. Borrower shall not suffer and shall not permit Mortgage Borrowers to suffer and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay and discharge any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against any Property or the Collateral (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay or cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay for or cause to be paid all utility services provided to the Properties. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or cause Mortgage Borrowers to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or such Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Collateral or the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower (except that if such Taxes or Other Charges must be paid sooner in order to avoid being delinquent, then Borrower shall cause such Mortgage Borrower to cause the same to be paid prior to delinquency, and upon making such payment prior to delinquency Borrower may (or may permit such Mortgage Borrower to) continue such contest); and (f) Borrower shall furnish or cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Mortgage Lender (pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement), to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or any Property (or part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering such Property being primed by any related Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.2, to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under this Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights set forth in such Lease in accordance with the terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.1.2, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control, so long as no Governmental Authority commences any enforcement action in connection with the non-payment of any Taxes or Other Charges which could result in a transfer of title to the applicable Property, and in addition Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to pay any sums ultimately owed to any Governmental Authority in connection with any applicable Taxes or Other Charges (including any penalty payments, interest charges or similar monetary sums owed to such Governmental Authority).

Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the applicable Improvements on the applicable Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.21 to the contrary, it is acknowledged that the tenant at the Apria Healthcare store in Indianapolis which is subject to a Lease with a Mortgage Borrower, desires to make certain alterations and install certain tenant improvements more particularly described in Schedule XI attached hereto at tenant’s own expense, and it is acknowledged that such Mortgage Borrower and such tenant shall not require any consent from Lender to install such alterations and tenant improvements, so long as such work is in accordance with such Schedule XI, provided Manager and/or the Mortgage Borrower that owns such Property shall be responsible for taking commercially reasonable steps in causing such Mortgage Borrower and such tenant to take appropriate corrective action if such alterations and tenant improvements fail to comply with applicable Legal Requirements and shall pursue appropriate remedies if such tenant permits any mechanic’s liens in respect of such work to be filed of record.
5.1.22 Operation of Properties. (a) Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to operate (or cause to be operated) the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower, in all material respects, in accordance with the applicable Management Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any Management Agreement expires or any Property is removed from the application of the Management Agreement (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any removal of any Property from the application of the Management Agreement or modification of any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly cause such Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or another Qualified Manager, as applicable. Borrower will promptly notify Lender if the tenant under any Major Lease ceases to operate its business within the Improvements demised by such Major Lease.

 

62


 

(b) Borrower shall: (i) cause each Mortgage Borrower promptly to perform and/or observe in all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by such Mortgage Borrower under any Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and estimate received by it under any Management Agreement; and (iv) cause each Mortgage Borrower to enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and/or observed by Manager under any such Management Agreement, in a commercially reasonable manner.
5.1.23 Changes in the Legal Requirements Regarding Taxation. If any Legal Requirement or other law, order, requirement or regulation of any Governmental Authority is enacted or adopted or amended after the date the Loan is funded which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on the Obligations or Lender’s interest in the Collateral (other than an income tax), Borrower must pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.24 No Credits on Account of the Obligations. Borrower shall not claim or demand or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Obligations for any payment of Taxes assessed against any Property and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed value of any Property for real estate tax purposes because of the Loan Documents or the Obligations. If Legal Requirements or other laws, orders, requirements or regulations require such claim, credit or deduction, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.
5.1.25 Personal Property. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to cause all of its personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in connection with the operation of the Property or Properties owned by any such Mortgage Borrower to always be located at the applicable Property or Properties owned by any such Mortgage Borrower and shall be kept free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances and security interests, except Permitted Encumbrances.
5.1.26 Appraisals. Mortgage Lender has the right to obtain a new or updated appraisal of one or more of the Properties under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. To the extent Mortgage Lender elects to obtain a new or updated appraisal of one or more of the Properties, Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrowers to cooperate with Mortgage Lender in this regard.

 

63


 

5.1.27 Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds as more particularly set forth in Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and to perform and comply with all the terms and provisions relating thereto.

(a) any Default, Event of Default, Mortgage Loan Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default;
(b) any litigation or proceeding affecting Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, pending or threatened against any of Mortgage Borrowers, or Guarantor, which could materially adversely affect Borrower’s, any Mortgage Borrower’s or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or any Property;
(c) a change in the business, operations, property or financial or other condition or prospects of Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, or Guarantor which could have a material adverse effect on Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, the ability of Borrower to perform under the Loan Documents, the ability of Mortgage Borrowers to perform under the Mortgage Loan Documents or the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents.
5.1.29 Special Distributions. On each date on which amounts are required to be disbursed to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement or are required to be paid to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, if such amounts disbursed to Lender are inadequate to pay all amounts then due and payable hereunder, then Borrower shall exercise its rights under the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreements to cause the Mortgage Borrowers to make to Borrower distributions in an aggregate amount such that Lender shall receive the amount required to be paid to Lender hereunder on such date.
5.1.30 Mortgage Loan Defaults.
(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any Mortgage Loan Event of Default or if Mortgage Lender asserts that a Mortgage Loan Event of Default has occurred, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable and to perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrowers, as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrowers to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), with interest at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to Borrower for such payments to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

 

64


 

(b) Subject to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this Section 5.1.30. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Mortgage Borrower or any other Person (other than Mortgage Lender) to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any Mortgage Loan Event of Default or asserted Mortgage Loan Event of Default, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all Losses of Lender as a result of the foregoing actions described in this Section 5.1.30. Lender shall have no obligation to Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers or any other party to make any such payment or performance.
(d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default sent by Mortgage Lender to Lender or Mortgage Borrowers, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Lender.
(e) Any Mortgage Loan Event of Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement, and shall remain as such, regardless of whether such Mortgage Loan Event of Default is cured by Lender.
(f) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against any Property and any Mortgage Borrower in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan Documents or applicable law.
5.1.31 Mortgage Borrower Covenants. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to comply with all obligations with which such Mortgage Borrower has covenanted to comply under the Mortgage Loan Agreement and all other Mortgage Loan Documents (including, without limitation, those certain affirmative and negative covenants set forth in Article V of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender.

5.2.7 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not cause or allow any Mortgage Borrower to suffer, permit or initiate the joint assessment of all or any portion of the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower (a) with any other real property constituting a tax lot separate from the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower, and (b) which constitutes real property with any portion of the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower which may be deemed to constitute personal property, or any other procedure whereby the Lien of any taxes which may be levied against such personal property shall be assessed or levied or charged to such Property.

In the event an inadvertent Prohibited Transaction occurs, Borrower will take all steps necessary to correct the Prohibited Transaction as soon as possible after having actual knowledge of the Prohibited Transaction.

Lender shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of Borrower’s notice to approve of or object to the proposed transfer. If Lender objects to the proposed transfer within said fifteen (15) days, Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrowers to transfer the Properties in accordance with Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If Lender fails to respond within said fifteen (15) days, and Borrower sends a second request for approval containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold fact type, underlined, in all capital letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS”, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such transfer of the Properties if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before expiration of such fifteen (15) day period. Upon a transfer in accordance with Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall execute, or cause the applicable Person or Persons to execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender may reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said transfer and deliver such legal opinions as Lender may require, including, without limitation, a pledge substantially in the form of the Pledge Agreement, a new UCC Title Insurance Policy and a new mezzanine endorsement to the Owner’s Title Policy, new UCC Financing Statements or amendments to any existing UCC Financing Statements, new Certificates evidencing the Pledged Company Interests, and any other ancillary documents substantially similar to the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date as Lender may reasonably require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

(b) Borrower shall not permit any applicable Mortgage Borrower, without the prior written consent of Lender, as determined in its sole discretion, to take any action to terminate, surrender, or accept any termination or surrender of, such REA; and

5.2.14 Amendments of Mortgage Borrower Company Agreements. Except for transfers permitted under Section 5.2.10(d) above, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Mortgage Borrower to join in any action to, or consent to, amend, terminate, cancel or modify any Mortgage Borrower Company Agreement without the Lender’s prior written consent, provided that in the case of a transfer permitted under Section 5.2.10(d) above, Borrower and Mortgage Borrowers shall be permitted to provide for an amendment of the applicable Mortgage Borrower Company Agreements to reflect an adjustment in the membership interests in any applicable Mortgage Borrower, but in the case of any such amendments, Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to deliver a copy of such executed amendment to Lender (and to the extent there is an adjustment in the membership interests, as a condition of entering into such amendment Lender shall receive a revised Certificate reflecting a certificate of equity interest in such Mortgage Borrower reflecting such adjustment, together with any modifications to the Pledge Agreement, as Lender shall reasonably require).
5.2.15 Distributions.
(a) Any and all dividends, including capital dividends, stock or liquidating dividends, distributions of property, redemptions or other distributions made by Mortgage Borrowers to Borrower on or in respect of its interests in Mortgage Borrowers (other than distributions for the payment of debt service or any prepayment hereunder), and any and all cash and other property received in payment of the principal of or in redemption of or in exchange for any such interests (collectively, the “Distributions”), shall become part of the Collateral and shall remain part of the Collateral until disbursed by Borrower as distributions to its equity owners. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender expressly agrees that Borrower shall be permitted to distribute to its members any Distributions Borrower receives only upon the express condition that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan.

 

72


 

(b) If any Distributions (including, but not limited to, any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service) shall be received by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, Borrower shall hold, or shall cause the same to be held, in trust for the benefit of Lender and same shall be promptly paid to Lender. Any and all revenue derived from the Properties paid directly by tenants, subtenants or occupants of the Properties shall be held and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
5.2.16 Refinancing of Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Borrower nor any Mortgage Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent of Lender to refinance the Mortgage Loan, provided that such refinancing occurs after the Lockout Period and the Loan shall have been (or shall simultaneously be) paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including any prepayment premiums and other amounts due and payable to Lender under the Loan Documents). Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to obtain the prior written consent of Lender to enter into any other refinancing of the Mortgage Loan.
5.2.17 Limitation on Securities Issuance. Borrower shall not issue any membership interests or other securities evidencing an interest in any Mortgage Borrower other than those that have been issued as of the date hereof.
5.2.18 Acquisition of Loan.
(a) No Loan Party or any Person acting at any such Person’s request or direction, shall acquire or agree to acquire lenders’ interest in the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any interest therein, or any direct or indirect controlling ownership interest in the holder of the Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach of this provision shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation law, any of the foregoing Persons shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower: (i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the Mortgage Loan, (2) reconvey and release the Lien securing the Mortgage Loan and any other collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
(b) Lender shall have the right at any time to acquire all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan or any interest in any holder of, or participant in, the Mortgage Loan without notice or consent of Borrower or any other Loan Party in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all rights of Mortgage Lender thereunder (to the extent of its interest), including the right (i) to declare that the Mortgage Loan is in default, in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) to accelerate the Mortgage Loan indebtedness, in accordance with the terms thereof and (iii) to pursue all remedies against any obligor under the Mortgage Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms thereof.

5.2.19 Material Agreements.
(a) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Loan Party to, enter into any Material Agreement without the consent of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the request of Lender with respect to Material Agreements, Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Loan Party to, deliver to Lender a recognition agreement from such service or material provider, among other things, providing for such Person’s continued performance should Lender become the owner of the Collateral. Each such Material Agreement and each recognition agreement relating thereto, shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender in all respects.
(b) Except for renewals of Material Agreements and as specifically set forth herein, Borrower will not, and will not permit or cause any Loan Party to, unless required by Legal Requirements, materially amend, modify, supplement, rescind or terminate any Material Agreement, without Lender’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, including the identity of the party to perform services under such agreement. If a material or service provider under a Material Agreement is in default in its obligations thereunder to the extent entitling the applicable Loan Party to rescind or terminate that agreement, then, provided Borrower does not terminate such agreement, and if Lender so requires, Borrower will, or will cause the applicable Loan Party to, promptly use all reasonable efforts to terminate that agreement and appoint a new party in its place, with such identity and terms of appointment approved by Lender.

(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Collateral and the Properties, as applicable, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

74


 

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the insurance referred to above (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(xi)) as are provided in favor of the Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement. All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall provide insurance with respect to the liabilities of Mortgage Borrowers and Borrower. The insurance policies delivered pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described in Section 6.1(e) thereof, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same rights as the Mortgage Lender as referred to in such Section 6.1(e).
Section 6.2 Casualty and Condemnation.

If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to Lender if the estimated costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), and (b) cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower promptly to commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that the damaged Property resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition that such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to) from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to), at their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower that owns such Property promptly to commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If any Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award applicable to such Property, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

 

75


 

Section 6.3 Restoration. Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials that are required to be delivered to Mortgage Lender under Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement in connection with the Restoration of any Property after a Casualty or Condemnation. If any Insurance Proceeds or Awards are to be disbursed by Mortgage Lender for restoration, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to and received from Mortgage Lender that relates to the restoration and release of the Insurance Proceeds or Awards. In the event the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full and Lender receives any Insurance Proceeds or Awards, Lender shall either apply such proceeds to the Debt or for the restoration of the Properties in accordance with the same terms and conditions contained in Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
Section 6.4 Rights of Lender. For purposes of this Article 6, Borrower shall obtain the approval of Lender for each matter requiring the approval of Mortgage Lender under the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, with each reference in any such provisions to the “Loan” to include the Mortgage Loan and the Loan, and the reference in any such provisions to the “Maturity Date” to mean the Maturity Date, as defined herein. If Mortgage Lender does not require the deposit by Mortgage Borrower of the Net Proceeds Deficiency pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower make a deposit of the Net Proceeds Deficiency in accordance with the terms of such Section (as if each reference therein to “Borrower” and “Lender” referred to Borrower and Lender, respectively). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4 to the contrary, in the event that (1) Mortgage Lender’s consent is required for any matter pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (2) Mortgage Lender has given such consent and (3) the requirements of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the giving of such consent have not been materially modified without Lender’s consent, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to the same. With respect to any matter requiring the approval of Lender under this Section 6.4, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such matter if Lender fails to respond to any request for such approval within fifteen (15) days after any such request so long as Borrower certifies to Lender in such request that Borrower has provided Lender with all of the same materials that Mortgage Borrower provided Mortgage Lender in connection with Mortgage Borrower’s request for Mortgage Lender’s consent to such matter.

Subject to Section 9.4, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by law (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.

 

80


 

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by such Pledge Agreement and such other Loan Documents and not previously recovered. If Lender’s exercise of any of its remedies under this Section 8.2 results in any transfer taxes, impositions or similar payment imposed by a Governmental Authority with respect to the sale or transfer of any of the Pledged Company Interests, then Borrower shall be liable for the full payment of any such taxes, imposition or similar payment.
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 9.4. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

81


 

(d) Intentionally omitted.
(e) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal amount of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
(f) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to tenants rights under the Leases, Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender (and its agents, employees, contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) to enter upon each of the Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or other otherwise protect its interest in one or more of the Properties for such purposes.
(g) Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the Collateral or any Property and may bring any action or proceeding in the name and on behalf of Borrower, which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect its interest in the Collateral or one or more of the Properties.
(h) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 9.4, not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

If Agent maintains a Note Register then therein it will record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for, the Lender and any Person subsequently acquiring any direct interest in the Note (each a “Holder”). If it maintains a Note Register, upon the sale or transfer of a direct interest in the Note or portion thereof, (i) the transferring Holder shall inform the Agent in writing that such transfer has taken place and provide the Agent with the name, address, wiring instructions and tax identification number of the transferee and (ii) the Agent will record such information in the Note Register. Any Person in whose name the Note or interest therein is so registered shall be deemed and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account. It is further acknowledged that to the extent any of the foregoing costs and expenses are incurred by Lender in connection with a restructuring of the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.8(a) and (b) above, then the payment by Borrower of such costs and expenses under this Section 10.13 shall be subject to the provisions of Section 9.8(c).
(b) Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any material breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that Borrower is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.

The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Loan Application and Term Sheet dated January 27, 2010 (the “Loan Application”) between Guarantor and Mortgage Lender are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.23 Cumulative Rights.

(b) Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1.11 hereof, Borrower will deliver (or cause each Mortgage Borrower to deliver) to Lender all of the financial statements, reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents as and when due under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Section 11.2 Mortgage Loan Estoppels.
(a) After written request by Lender, Borrower shall (or shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to) from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mortgage Loan and compliance by each Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by each Mortgage Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mortgage Loan and the compliance by each Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents. Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by the Mortgage Borrowers.
Section 11.3 Intercreditor Agreement.
(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) an Intercreditor Agreement (as modified, amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into by and among Lender and Mortgage Lender will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender, (b) none of Borrower or the Mortgage Borrowers shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, and (c) none of Borrower or the Mortgage Borrowers shall have any rights thereunder or shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither of Lender or Mortgage Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
(b) In the event Lender is required pursuant to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement to pay over any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan to Mortgage Lender to be applied to the “Debt” under and as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.

Section 11.4 Intentionally Omitted.
Section 11.5 Discussions with Mortgage Lender. In connection with the exercise of its rights as set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the Properties, the Mortgage Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the contents thereof with Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers.
Section 11.6 Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not, except as and to the extent herein provided otherwise, be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) except as and to the extent herein provided otherwise, Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the good faith denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial.
