Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance.

 

2.2.3 Determination of Interest Rate. (a) The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Period for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3 (c) or (f).

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.2.3, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan and Borrower shall pay interest on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan at LIBOR plus the Spread for the applicable Interest Period. Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective (within a reasonable time after such change, Lender shall give Borrower notice thereof). Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c) In the event that Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then current Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan.

 

(d) If, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, any portion of the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Lender shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Period. If such notice is given, the related outstanding Prime Rate Loan shall be converted to a LIBOR Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period.

 

(e) With respect to a LIBOR Loan, all payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, reserves or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, which are imposed, enacted or become effective after the date hereof (such non-excluded taxes being referred to collectively as “Foreign Taxes”), excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any Foreign Tax is

 

-24-


payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such Foreign Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.

 

(f) If any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of Lender hereunder to make a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the next succeeding Payment Date or within such earlier period as required by law. Borrower hereby agrees promptly to pay Lender, upon demand, any reasonable amounts necessary to compensate Lender for any costs incurred by Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(g) In the event that any change in any requirement of law or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) hereafter issued from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:

 

(i) shall hereafter impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Lender which is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR hereunder;

 

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s customary and ordinary policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or

 

(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

 

then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable which Lender deems to be material as determined by Lender. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.2.3(g), Lender shall provide Borrower with not less than ninety (90) days written notice specifying in reasonable detail the event by

 

-25-


reason of which it has become so entitled and the additional amount required to fully compensate Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount. A certificate as to any additional costs or amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by Lender to Borrower shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This provision shall survive payment of the Note and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.

 

(h) Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender and to hold Lender harmless from any loss or expense which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any default by Borrower in payment of the principal of or interest on a LIBOR Loan, including, without limitation, any such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder, (ii) any prepayment (whether voluntary or mandatory) of the LIBOR Loan on a day that (A) is not the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (B) is the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto if Borrower did not give the prior written notice of such prepayment required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, such loss or expense arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder and (iii) the conversion (for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary) of the Applicable Interest Rate from LIBOR plus the Spread to the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread with respect to any portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan then bearing interest at LIBOR plus the Spread on a date other than the Payment Date immediately following the last day of an Interest Period, including, without limitation, such loss or expenses arising from interest or fees payable by Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to maintain a LIBOR Loan hereunder (the amounts referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) are herein referred to collectively as the “Breakage Costs”); provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Lender from any loss or expense arising from Lender’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than the earlier of (i) ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error, or (ii) any earlier date provided that Lender notified Borrower of such change in law or circumstance and delivered the written statement referenced in clause (i) promptly after Lender received written notice of such change in law or circumstance (provided that Lender shall notify Borrower within thirty (30) days of such change).

 

(j) Borrower shall enter into an Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a LIBOR strike price not to exceed five and forty-five hundredths percent (5.45%) at the Closing Date. The Interest Rate Cap Agreement (i) shall be in a form reasonably acceptable to Lender, (ii) shall be with an Acceptable Counterparty, (iii) shall direct such Acceptable Counterparty to deposit

 

-26-


directly into the Deposit Account any amounts due Borrower under such Interest Rate Cap Agreement so long as any portion of the Debt exists, provided that the Debt shall be deemed to exist if the Property is transferred to Lender or an Affiliate of Lender by judicial or non-judicial foreclosure or deed-in-lieu thereof, (iv) shall be for a period equal to the term of the Loan and (v) shall have an initial notional amount equal to the principal balance of the Loan. Borrower shall collaterally assign to Lender, pursuant to the Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all of its right, title and interest to receive any and all payments under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and shall deliver to Lender an executed counterpart of such Interest Rate Cap Agreement (which shall, by its terms, authorize the assignment to Lender and require that payments be deposited directly into the Lockbox Account).

 

(k) Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Lockbox Account or if the Lockbox Account is not then required to be in effect, into such account as specified by Lender. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Lender’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.

 

(l) In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty by S&P or Moody’ so that such Counterparty no longer has a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least “AA-” from S&P and “Aa-” from Moody’s, respectively, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Lender of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.

 

(m) In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Lender the Interest Rate Cap Agreement or any replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Lender may purchase such Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the cost incurred by Lender in purchasing such Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Lender with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Lender until such cost is paid by Borrower to Lender.

 

(n) In connection with the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty (upon which Lender and its successors and assigns may rely) which shall provide, in relevant part, that:

 

(1) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement;

 

(2) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property;

 

-27-


(3) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and

 

(4) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

2.2.4 Additional Costs. Lender will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan and to avoid or reduce any increased or additional costs payable by Borrower under Section 2.2.3, including, if requested by Borrower, a transfer or assignment of the Loan to a branch, office or Affiliate of Lender in another jurisdiction, or a redesignation of its lending office with respect to the Loan, in order to maintain the availability of the LIBOR Loan or to avoid or reduce such increased or additional costs, provided that the transfer or assignment or redesignation (a) would not result in any additional costs, expenses or risk to Lender that are not reimbursed by Borrower and (b) would not be disadvantageous in any other respect to Lender as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion.

 

2.2.5 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

 

2.2.6 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be

 

-28-


amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

Section 2.3. Loan Payment.

 

2.3.1 Payments Generally. The first Interest Period hereunder shall commence on and include the Closing Date and end on January 8, 2003. Each Interest Period thereafter shall commence on the ninth (9th) day of each calendar month during the term of the Loan and shall end on and include the eighth (8th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating Interest Periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the Loan Documents is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

 

2.3.4 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next preceding Business Day.

 

Section 2.4. Prepayments.

 

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Prior to the Lockout Release Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan may not be prepaid in whole or in part. On or after the Lockout Release Date, Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in whole or in part; provided that such prepayment is accompanied by the Prepayment Premium, if any, and further provided that any prepayment shall be accompanied by the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such prepayment through the end of the Interest Period during which such prepayment is made. Lender shall not

 

-29-


be obligated to accept any prepayment unless it is accompanied by the Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith. Any partial prepayment shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may not voluntarily prepay the Loan on the day after a Payment Date to the day before a Determination Date during any month.

 

2.4.2 Mandatory Lender Prepayments. On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Borrower actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of any Individual Property, Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. Other than following an Event of Default, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. The Release Amount with respect to such Individual Property shall be reduced in an amount equal to such prepayment. Any partial prepayment under this Section shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

 

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, (a) such tender or recovery shall be applied by Lender to the Debt on the next occurring Payment Date and deemed a voluntary payment by Borrower and (b) Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium, if any.

 

Section 2.5. Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.5, no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of any Lien of any Mortgage on any Individual Property.

 

2.5.1 Release of Individual Property. After the Lockout Release Date, Borrower may obtain the release of an Individual Property from the Lien of the Mortgage thereon (and related Loan Documents) and the release of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents with respect to such Individual Property (other than those expressly stated to survive), upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

 

(a) Borrower shall pay to Lender (x) the Release Amount for the applicable Individual Property and (y) the Prepayment Premium, if any, due in connection therewith;

 

(b) Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such release, a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for such Individual Property for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in each jurisdiction in which the Individual Property is located and reasonably acceptable to Lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Liens, security interests and other rights of Lender under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the parties to the Loan Documents and Properties subject to the Loan Documents not being released);

 

-30-


(c) After giving effect to such release, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Properties shall not be less than the Debt Service Coverage Ratio in existence at the time of closing the Loan;

Section 2.6. Cash Management.

 

2.6.1 (a) Borrower shall establish and maintain a Lockbox Account pursuant to the Lockbox Account Agreement. Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, deliver written instructions to all tenants under Leases to deliver all Rents payable thereunder directly to the Lockbox Account.

(b) At all times other than during a Trigger Period, Borrower shall be entitled to use and apply all funds deposited in the Lockbox Account.

 

(c) During a Trigger Period, Borrower shall no longer be entitled to use and apply the funds deposited in the Lockbox Account and all funds in the Lockbox Account shall be swept daily by the Lockbox Bank into an account (“Deposit Account”) with Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement and the Deposit Account Agreement. Except as set forth in the Cash Management Agreement, Borrower shall have no rights to make withdrawals from the Lockbox Account or Deposit Account or receive the proceeds thereof.

 

(d) Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in the Lockbox Account and Deposit Account and all deposits at any time contained therein and the proceeds thereof and will take all actions necessary to maintain in favor of Lender a perfected first priority security interest in the Lockbox Account and Deposit Account, including, without limitation, executing and filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. All costs and expenses for establishing and maintaining the Lockbox Account and Deposit Account shall be paid by Borrower. Borrower will not in any way alter or modify the Cash Management Agreement without Lender’s consent and will notify Lender of the Lockbox Account number.

 

2.6.2 Payments Received Under the Cash Management Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the monthly payment of principal and interest and amounts due for

 

-31-


the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Required Repair Fund, Aesthetic Repair Fund, Replacement Escrow Fund, Rollover Escrow Fund, Unfunded Obligations Reserve Fund and any other payment reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Deposit Account established pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement to satisfy such obligations on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

 

Section 2.7. Extension of the Initial Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option to extend the term of the Loan beyond the Initial Maturity Date for three successive terms (each, an “Extension Option”) of one (1) year each (the maturity date following the exercise of each such option is hereinafter the “Extended Maturity Date”) upon satisfaction of the following terms and conditions:

(d) In connection with each Extension Option Borrower shall have delivered to Lender together with its notice pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.7 and as of the commencement of the applicable Extension Option, an Officer’s Certificate in form acceptable to the Lender certifying that each of the representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents is true, complete and correct in all material respects as of the date of such Officer’s Certificate to the extent such representation and warranties are not matters which by their nature can no longer be true and correct as a result of the passage of time; and

 

(e) In connection with the second Extension Option, Borrower shall (a) deposit the amount of $2,000,000 (the “Additional Rollover Reserve Deposit”) in the form of cash and/or a Letter of Credit (or any combination thereof) in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.6 below, into the Rollover Reserve Fund and (b) commence to make an additional deposit on each Payment Date in the amount of $55,800 (the “Additional Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit”) into the Rollover Reserve Fund; provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to make such deposits in the event that the 3000 Property has been released in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 2.5.1.

Borrower is duly organized and validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of the Properties.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

-36-


4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

 

4.1.4 Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1.4, there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower or any Individual Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower or any Individual Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower or the condition or ownership of any Individual Property.

 

4.1.5 Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1.5, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or any Individual Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or any of the Properties are bound. Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Properties is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Properties as permitted pursuant to clause (xx) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

4.1.6 Title. Borrower has good and insurable fee simple title to the real property comprising part of each Individual Property and good title to the balance of such Individual Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the applicable Individual Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Each Mortgage, when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith, will create (a) a valid, perfected first priority lien on the applicable Individual Property, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances and the Liens created by the Loan

 

-37-


Documents and (b) perfected security interests in and to, and perfected collateral assignments of, all personalty (including the Leases), all in accordance with the terms thereof, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents. There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Properties which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

 

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

 

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which materially and adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might materially and adversely affect, any Individual Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

 

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, 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. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans 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 Loan Agreement.

To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and the Properties and 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. There has not been committed by Borrower or, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Properties any act or omission affording the federal government or any other Governmental Authority 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.

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 reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on any Individual Property or the operation thereof, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.

 

4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any Individual Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to any Individual Property.

 

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 Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

 

4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access.

4.1.18 Enforceability. 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 (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and Borrower has not asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents or the earlier release of the Liens of the Mortgage encumbering the Properties (and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

 

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply, in all material respects, with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Properties. There shall never be committed by Borrower any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture against any Individual Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Properties in good working order and repair in all material respects and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage.

 

-44-


Borrower shall keep the Properties insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or any Individual Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the applicable Mortgage; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which 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; (iv) no Individual Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in imminent danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or any Individual Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or any Individual Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

 

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Properties or any part thereof as the same become due and payable; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid. Borrower shall furnish to Lender receipts for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior to the date the same shall become delinquent (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof). Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Properties, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Properties. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may 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 (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the applicable Mortgage; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which 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; (iv) no Individual Property nor any

Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the Other Obligations, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

(e) All Policies provided for in Section 6.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000) and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

If any Individual Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the applicable Individual Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed substantially in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Individual Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the related Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

 

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

 

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the

 

-68-


completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency with Lender or provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the availability of funds sufficient to cover the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and interest thereon and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(c) All Net Proceeds and interest thereon not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 6.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion.

 

(d) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Individual Property, or other transfer of title to the Individual Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Individual Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

VII. RESERVE FUNDS

 

Section 7.1. Required Repair Funds.

 

7.1.1 Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Properties, as more particularly set forth on Schedule III hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”). Except as a result of a force majeure, Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (a) Borrower does not substantially complete the Required Repairs at each Individual Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule III, or (b) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof. Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds

 

-69-


either to completion of the Required Repairs at one or more of the Properties or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the amount for each Individual Property set forth on such Schedule III hereto to perform the Required Repairs for such Individual Property. Amounts so deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender in accordance with Section 7.7 hereof. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”.

 

7.1.2 Release of Required Repair Funds. Lender shall disburse to Borrower the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following conditions: (a) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (b) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (c) Lender shall have received an Officers’ Certificate (i) stating that all Required Repairs at the applicable Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (ii) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement, and (iii) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such Officers’ Certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (d) at Lender’s option, a title search for such Individual Property indicating that such Individual Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (e) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at such Individual Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been substantially completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower. Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.

 

Section 7.2. Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and

 

-70-


Insurance Escrow Fund”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums as set forth in (b) above for so long as (a) Borrower maintains blanket insurance Policies for the Properties and (b) a Trigger Period is not in existence. The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Properties. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

 

Section 7.3. Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

 

7.3.1 Replacement Reserve Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the amount equal to $17,764 (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time as herein provided) (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”), which amount shall be deposited with and held by Lender to be used for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Properties during the calendar year pursuant to the Approved Budget (collectively, the “Replacements”). From and after the time that any Individual Property is released hereunder, the then amount of the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be reduced by the amount set forth in the Replacement Reserve column on Schedule I. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”. Any amount held in the Replacement Reserve Account and allocated for an Individual Property shall be retained by Lender and credited toward the future Replacement Reserves Monthly Deposits required by Lender hereunder in the event such Individual Property is released from the Lien of its related Mortgage in accordance with Section 2.5 hereof.

 

7.3.2 Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account. Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Fund as requested by Borrower, and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required

 

-71-

Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $25,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.

 

7.3.3 Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account. The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.4. Rollover Reserve.

 

7.4.1 Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund. Borrower shall deposit with Lender (a) on the Closing Date, the amount of $6,476,000 (the “Initial Rollover Reserve Deposit”) in the form of cash and/or a Letter of Credit (or any combination thereof) in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof and (b) on each Payment Date commencing on January 10, 2003, up to the Payment Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date the sum of $64,749 (as such amount may be adjusted from time to time as herein provided, including but not limited to additional deposits required for, if applicable, the Additional Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit as set forth in Section 2.7(a) hereof) (the “Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit”), such funds shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred following the date hereof.

In the event that Borrower shows Lender evidence that the space for which such fees or reimbursements (set forth in the preceding sentence) were received by Borrower is rented (i) without payment by Borrower of any tenant improvement allowance or leasing commission in connection with such space or (ii) by Borrower for less costs for tenant improvement and leasing obligations than the amount of the fees or reimbursements received by Lender, Lender shall (x) remit all funds to Borrower in the event of (i) above or (y) such excess funds to Borrower in the event of (ii) above. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Fund” and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”.

Lender may require an inspection of the Properties at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $50,000 in order to verify completion of improvements for which reimbursement is sought. All earnings or interest on the Rollover Escrow Fund shall be and become part of such Rollover Escrow Fund and shall be disbursed as provided in this Section 7.5.

Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Aesthetic Repair Account unless such requested disbursement is in an amount greater than $25,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Aesthetic Repair Account is less than $25,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.6.2.

Upon Borrower’s written request, Lender shall make disbursements from the Unfunded Obligations Reserve up to the amount set forth on Schedule VII hereto for the respective Lease to reimburse Borrower, or to pay the tenant, for any amounts due by Borrower to such tenant under such Lease (the “Unfunded Obligation”), provided that Borrower delivers such written request with an Officer’s Certificate stating that such amounts are due pursuant to such Lease; it being agreed that Borrower shall have no obligation to deliver to Lender any additional evidence that such Unfunded Obligation is due. Upon delivery to Lender of an Officer’s Certificate stating that an Unfunded Obligation has been paid in full, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such Officer’s Certificate, remit to Borrower any excess funds in respect of such Unfunded Obligation.

 

Section 7.8. Reserve Funds, Generally.

 

7.8.1 Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

 

7.8.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

 

7.8.3 The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

 

7.8.4 The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. All interest on a Reserve Fund shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies deposited in such Reserve Fund, except that interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall not be added to or become a part thereof and shall be the sole property of and shall be paid to Lender. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned by Borrower on the Reserve Funds.

 

7.8.5 Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

-74-


from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established, except for such losses, damages, costs and expenses resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender, its agents, employees and contractors. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

 

7.8.8 If any Individual Property is released hereunder, any amounts held in the Required Repair Fund, Aesthetic Repair Fund, Unfunded Obligations Reserve Fund, Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund or any other Reserve Fund, other than the Rollover Reserve Fund and Replacement Reserve Fund, with respect to such Individual Property shall be disbursed to Borrower upon Borrower’s request. If an Individual Property is released hereunder and there is an Unused Amount in either the Replacement Reserve Fund and Rollover Reserve Fund with respect to such Individual Property, the Unused Amount with respect to such Individual Property in such fund(s) shall be disbursed to Borrower upon Borrower’s request.

 

Section 7.9. Delivery of Letters of Credit. (a) In lieu of making all or any portion of the Rollover Reserve Deposit to the Rollover Reserve Fund, Borrower may deliver to Lender one (1) or more Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.9. Additionally, Borrower may deliver to Lender one (1) or more Letters of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.9 in lieu of deposits previously made to the Rollover Reserve Fund with respect to a Rollover Reserve Deposit. The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the Rollover Reserve Deposit in the Rollover Reserve Fund shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate amount which Borrower is required to have on deposit in the Rollover Reserve Fund with respect to the Rollover Reserve Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. Lender shall have the right to draw down the Letter of Credit in full or in part in accordance with the applicable provisions hereof in the same manner as if Borrower has deposited cash hereunder. Borrower hereby agrees to pay any transfer fee in connection with a Letter of Credit required by the issuer of such Letter of Credit within five (5) days after demand by Lender.

 

(b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than five (5) days notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith. Borrower shall not be entitled to draw from any such Letter of Credit. Upon thirty (30) days notice to Lender, Borrower may from time to time replace all or any portion of a Letter of Credit with a cash deposit to the Rollover Reserve Fund. Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit cash in an amount equal in the aggregate to the amount that would have been required to have been deposited in the Rollover Reserve Fund and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter of Credit had not been delivered (provided that Borrower shall not be required to deposit the amount of interest that would have accrued in the Rollover Reserve Fund had a cash deposit been made in lieu of a Letter of Credit).

 

(c) Each Letter of Credit delivered under this Agreement shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to

 

-75-


apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. On the Maturity Date, any such Letter of Credit may be applied to reduce the Debt.

 

(d) In addition to any other right Lender may have to draw upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (a) with respect to any evergreen Letter of Credit, if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (b) with respect to any Letter of Credit with a stated expiration date, if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (c) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided); or (d) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower shall not have replaced such bank with an Approved Bank within ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof. In the event that Lender draws down on any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of Section 7.9(d), the proceeds of such draw down shall be held by Lender as if Borrower has deposited cash hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

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

 

-78-


(b) With respect to Borrower and the Properties, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any Individual Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other Individual Property, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Properties or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Properties shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

 

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. 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.

 

(d) Remedies Cumulative; Waivers. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised

 

-79-


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.

 

IX. SPECIAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 9.1. Sale of Notes and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:

 

(a) (i) provide reasonable additional financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower, the Principal and the Manager, and (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property (the “Provided Information”), together with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

(b) assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by Borrower, the Principal and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information reasonably requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;

 

(c) deliver (i) revised opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Property, Borrower, the Principal and their respective affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, Borrower and the Rating Agencies;

 

(d) if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

 

(e) make the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, the Principal and the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof;

 

-80-


(f) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note may change the interest rate of the Loan), and modify the cash management agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify any document evidencing or securing the Loan which would (A) modify (i) the interest rate payable under the Note, (ii) the stated maturity of the Note, (iii) any other material economic terms of the Loan or (iv) decrease the time period during which Borrower is permitted to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or (B) increase its obligations or decrease its rights, in each case in any material respect;

 

(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Principal, the Manager and the Loan which is contained in a private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and

 

(h) to the extent within the Borrower’s or Guarantor’s power to do so, supply to Lender such reasonable documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.

 

All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with Borrower’s compliance with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel, service providers and the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Lender.

 

Section 9.2. Securitization Indemnification. (a) Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note, in all reasonable respects and at the holder of the Note’s expense, in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.

 

(b) Borrower, Principal and Guarantor agree to provide in connection with each of (i) a preliminary and a final private placement memorandum, (ii) a preliminary and final

 

-81-


prospectus or prospectus supplement, (iii) such other offering materials as may be used for the securitization of the Loan (such materials described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii), as applicable, being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Offering Materials”), an indemnification certificate (A) certifying that Borrower, Principal and Guarantor, as applicable, has carefully examined the portions of, and only the portions of, the Offering Materials relating to Borrower, Manager, the Properties, Guarantor and Principal specifically, including, without limitation, the sections entitled “Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property,” “The Manager” and “The Borrower” (collectively, the “Borrower Sections”), and such Borrower Sections as they relate to or include any Provided Information, and as they relate to the Properties, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (B) indemnifying Lender (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Lender hereunder shall include its officers and directors), the Affiliate of Lender (“Credit Suisse First Boston”) that has filed the registration statement relating to the securitization (the “Registration Statement”), each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each Person or entity who controls the Affiliate within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Credit Suisse First Boston Group”), and Credit Suisse First Boston, each of its directors and each Person who controls Credit Suisse First Boston within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Credit Suisse First Boston, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such Borrower Sections or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in such Borrower Sections or in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (C) agreeing to reimburse Lender, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group and the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender and Credit Suisse First Boston in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clause (B) or (C) above only to the extent that any such loss claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the memorandum or prospectus or in connection with the underwriting of the debt, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower, operating statements, rent rolls, environmental site assessment reports and property condition reports with respect to the Properties. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (B) and (C) above shall be effective whether or not an indemnification certificate described in (A) above is provided and shall be applicable based on information previously provided by Borrower or its Affiliates if Borrower does not provide the indemnification certificate.

 

(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower and Guarantor agree to indemnify (i) Lender, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement

 

-82-


or misstatement of any material factor, the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

 

(d) Borrower agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to Borrower for or in connection with the Loan unless and to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that liability for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by Borrower resulted directly from the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.

 

(e) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2, except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify Borrower shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify Borrower thereof, Borrower shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from Borrower to the Indemnified Person of its or their election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such entity shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and independent counsel to an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to Borrower, the Indemnified Person or Persons shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which Borrower is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel.

 

(f) Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), Borrower will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless (A) Borrower shall have

 

-83-


given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of Lender and each other Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, or (B) Borrower reaffirms in writing its indemnity and contribution obligations hereunder regardless of any common, federal, state or commonwealth statutory law to the contrary. As long as Borrower has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, Borrower shall not be liable for any settlement made by Lender or any other Indemnified Person without the consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(g) Borrower agrees that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for a reason other than the fraud, illegal acts, gross negligence or willful misconduct of an Indemnified Person or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then Borrower and such Indemnified Person shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to Borrower on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of Borrower on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) Borrower and Lender agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees and interest (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Credit Suisse First Boston Group and the Underwriter Group in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.

 

(h) Borrower agrees that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not Lender, any other Indemnified Person, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group or the Underwriter Group is a formal party to any such lawsuits, claims or other proceedings, and that such obligations shall extend upon the terms set forth in this Section 9.2 to any controlling person, director, partner, officer, employee, representative or agent of Lender, the Credit Suisse First Boston Group and the Underwriter Group (each, an “Indemnified Person”). Borrower further agrees that their indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations shall be in addition to any liability which they may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each Person, if any, who controls any Indemnified Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act.

 

(i) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

 

-84-


(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

 

Section 9.3. [INTENTIONALLY DELETED]

 

Section 9.4. Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrowers interest in the Properties, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all of the Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

 

(i) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan;

 

(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower;

 

(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement or in the Mortgage concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;

 

(iv) the removal or disposal of any portion of the Properties after an Event of Default or the causing of physical waste on any portion of the Properties;

 

-85-


(v) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to the Properties, (B) any Awards received in connection with a condemnation of all or a portion of the Properties, (C) any Rents following an Event of Default, (D) any Rents paid more than one month in advance;

 

(vi) failure by Borrower to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Properties unless due to Lender’s failure to disburse funds held therefor in escrow pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

 

(vii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Properties which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Properties or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and

 

(viii) Personal Property taken from the Property and not replaced with Personal Property of the same utility and of the same or greater value.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower (i) in the event of: (a) Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing of an involuntary petition against Borrower 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 against Borrower from any Person; (c) Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person 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; (d) Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for Borrower or any portion of the Property; and (e) Borrower 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; (ii) if the first full monthly payment of interest on the Note is not paid when due; (iii) if Borrower fails to permit on-site inspections of the Properties, fails to provide financial information, fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity or fails to appoint a new property manager upon the request of Lender as permitted under the Loan Agreement, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement or the Mortgage; (iv) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the Properties; or (v) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any assignment, transfer, or conveyance of the Properties or any interest therein as required by the Loan Agreement or the Mortgage.

 

-86-


Section 9.5. Matters Concerning Manager. (a) If (i) an Event of Default is continuing beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (ii) the Debt has been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.1(b) hereof, (iii) the Manager is in default under any of its obligations under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period, or (iv) the Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace the Manager with a manager approved by Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such replacement manager shall not exceed the greater of (i) exceed then prevailing market rates or (ii) four percent (4%).

 

Section 9.6. Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

 

Section 9.7. Severance Documentation. Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more components of the Note or notes, reduce the number of components of the Note or notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the notes and/or the components created pursuant to this Section 9.7, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each such component or eliminate any component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that (a) the principal balance of all notes and/or components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all notes and/or components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and (b) such modification does not otherwise increase the economic obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. At Lender’s election, each note evidencing the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.7 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.7, it shall become immediately effective. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to the Loan Documents to evidence any such modification.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

 

Section 10.5. Delay Not a Waiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender or Borrower in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or under any other Loan Document, or any other instrument given as security therefor, shall

operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

 

Section 10.6. Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be given in writing and shall be effective for all purposes if hand delivered or sent by (a) certified or registered United States mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested or (b) expedited prepaid delivery service, either commercial or United States Postal Service, with proof of attempted delivery, and by telecopier (with answer back acknowledged), addressed as follows (or at such other address and Person as shall be designated from time to time by any party hereto, as the case may be, in a written notice to the other parties hereto in the manner provided for in this Section):

Section 10.8. Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

 

Section 10.9. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.10. Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

 

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

 

-91-


Section 10.12. Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

 

Section 10.13. Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iv) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters required in the Loan Documents (unless the applicable provision in such Loan Documents provides Borrower shall have no such obligation); (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vii) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Properties, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account.

 

-92-


(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

 

Section 10.14. Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

 

Section 10.15. Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lenders interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

 

Section 10.16. No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

-93-


Section 10.17. Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, Credit Suisse First Boston, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.

 

Section 10.18. Cross-Default; Cross-Collateralization; Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. (a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each Individual Property taken separately.

 

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of the Properties or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any Individual Property or any combination of the Properties before proceeding against any other Individual Property or combination of Properties; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Properties.

 

Section 10.19. Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents.

 

Section 10.20. Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Loan Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or

 

-94-


instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

 

Section 10.21. Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt. Lender hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

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 are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
