If any Excess Interest is provided for or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1) the provisions of this Section shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, (a) applied as a credit against the outstanding principal balance of the Obligations due and owing to Lender (without any prepayment penalty or premium therefor) or for accrued and unpaid interest thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the interest rate(s) provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if for any period of time interest on any Obligation due and owing to Lender is calculated at the Maximum Rate rather than the applicable rate under this Agreement, and thereafter such applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable on such Obligations due and owing to Lender shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations due and owing to Lender had the rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period.

(D) Late Charges. If any scheduled payment of principal and/or interest or other amount owing pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is not paid when due, Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to all sums otherwise due and payable, a late charge (“Late Charge”) in an amount equal to four percent (4%) of the unpaid amount. With respect to regular monthly payments of principal and/or interest (excluding the payment due on the

 

-30-


Maturity Date), Borrower will be entitled to a grace period of five (5) Business Days from the date due before a late charge is imposed by reason of such late payment; provided, however, such grace period will not be available more than once in any calendar year. Any unpaid late charge shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid.

(E) LIBOR Rate Election. At Borrower’s election, indicated in writing by facsimile notice given by Borrower to Lender (or such other parties as Lender may from time to time designate) in accordance with Section 11.5 not later than 12:00P.M. (New York time), at least three (3) Business Days prior to the commencement date of the first or next succeeding Interest Period (as applicable), Borrower may designate a one, three or six month maturity for the LIBOR Rate (each a “LIBOR Rate Election”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after giving effect to all LIBOR Rate Elections, (i) the number of LIBOR Rate Elections shall not exceed five (5) at any one time and (ii) each LIBOR Rate Election shall be for a minimum amount of $1,000,000. If Borrower fails to timely notify Lender in accordance with this Section 2.2(E), the LIBOR Rate shall be based on a one month maturity. In the event that five (5) LIBOR Rate Elections exists at the time of any Development Advance, Borrower shall timely notify Lender to select one of the five existing LIBOR Rate Elections to apply to such Development Advance, otherwise the LIBOR Rate shall be based on a one month maturity.

2.3 Payments. Interest for the period commencing on the date of disbursement of the Loan and ending on February 28, 2007 shall be paid on the Payment Date occurring on March 1, 2007. Commencing on the Payment Date occurring on March 1, 2007 and on each Payment Date thereafter until the Initial Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on the outstanding principal of the Loan accrued from and including the immediately preceding Payment Date, to, but not including, the Payment Date on which such payment is to be made. If the Extension Conditions are satisfied prior to the Initial Maturity Date or First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, commencing on the Payment Date occurring immediately after the Initial Maturity Date or First Extended Maturity Date, as applicable, and on each Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay to Lender on each such Payment Date (i) a monthly amount of interest and principal sufficient to fully amortize the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan based on a 15-year, level payment, amortization schedule using an interest rate equal to the Base Rate then in effect at the time of the Initial Maturity Date and (ii) any other amounts that are due and payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any Default Interest and Late Charges). A balloon payment consisting of the principal or remaining principal, as applicable, of the Loan evidenced by the Note, along with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon will be required on the Maturity Date.

2.4 Payments and Prepayments on the Loan.

(A) Manner and Time of Payment. Borrower agrees to pay all of the Obligations relating to the Loan as such amounts become due or are declared due pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. All payments shall be made without deduction, defense, setoff or counterclaim by the wire transfer or ACH/EFT of good immediately available wire transferred federal funds to Lender’s account at JP Morgan Chase for the account of ABA: 021-000-021 A/C: SFT I, Inc., A/C #230-368913, Reference: Equinix Chicago Debt Service, or at such other place as Lender may direct from time to time by notice to Borrower. Borrower shall receive credit for such funds on the date received if such funds are received by Lender by

 

-31-


2:00 P.M. (New York time) on such day. In the absence of timely receipt, such funds shall be deemed to have been paid by Borrower on the following Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made under the Loan Documents shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, or any time period relating to a payment to be made hereunder is stated to expire on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment may be made on the following Business Day and the period will not expire until the following Business Day.

(B) Maturity. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other sums owing to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, shall be due and payable on the Initial Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Extension Conditions are satisfied prior to the Initial Maturity Date, the maturity of the Loan shall be extended for an additional one (1) year period to the First Extended Maturity Date, and if the Extension Conditions are further satisfied prior to the First Extended Maturity Date, the maturity of the Loan shall be further extended for an additional one (1) year period to the Second Extended Maturity Date.

(C) Prepayments.

(i) No prepayment of the Loan shall be allowed in whole or in part, on or prior to the Lockout Expiration Date other than prepayment from Proceeds under Section 8.1 hereof. Thereafter, the Loan may be prepaid, upon not less than thirty (30) days’ irrevocable prior notice to Lender. Any prepayments on the principal balance of the Loan evidenced by the Note whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be accompanied by payment of interest accrued to the date of prepayment, together with the applicable Prepayment Premium. Any prepayments made pursuant to the foregoing shall be made on a Payment Date provided, however, Borrower may elect to make any such prepayments on a Business Day which is not a Payment Date if, in addition to all interest which has accrued to and including the date of prepayment and the Prepayment Premium, Borrower also pays all interest which would accrue on the Loan to, but not including, the Payment Date following the date of prepayment. Notwithstanding any provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Prepayment Premium will be due on account of (a) a voluntary prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.4(C)(i) made on the Prepayment Premium Expiration Date or thereafter, or (b) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, an involuntary prepayment resulting from a casualty or condemnation of the Mortgaged Property. Amounts prepaid shall not be re-borrowed.

(ii) In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of the Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (b) the failure to borrow or prepay the Loan as specified in any notice delivered pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, then, in any such event and, in addition to the payments to be made to Lender pursuant to Section 2.4(C)(i), Borrower agrees to compensate Lender for all losses, costs, expenses and damages Lender may incur attributable to such event. A certificate of Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 

-32-


(iii) If, following an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Loan is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4(C)(i) and Borrower shall pay to Lender, in addition to the other Obligations, the Prepayment Premium. If the Maturity Date is accelerated, due to an Event of Default or otherwise, or if any prepayment of all or any portion of the Loan hereunder occurs, whether in connection with Lender’s acceleration of the Loan or otherwise, or if the Mortgage is satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of sale or judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means, then the Prepayment Premium shall become immediately due and owing and Borrower shall immediately pay the Prepayment Premium to Lender. Nothing contained in this Section 2.4(C)(iii) shall create any right of prepayment.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in the event of an Equinix Parent Transaction Event, (x) Lender may declare immediately due and payable, without further notice, protest, presentment, notice of protest or demand, all Obligations including, without limitation, all monies advanced under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage and/or any of the Loan Documents which are then unpaid, together with all interest then accrued thereon up to and including the date of Lender’s receipt of payment in full of the Loan and all other amounts then owing (including any Default Interest owed as a result of such acceleration and the Prepayment Premium) and (y) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing immediately prior to such Equinix Parent Transaction Event, the Prepayment Premium (notwithstanding the definition set forth in Section 1.1) shall equal (A) for the period from the Closing Date through but not including the First Anniversary Date, the greater of Three percent (3%) or the Yield Maintenance Amount (assuming that the Treasury Rate plus 1.75% is used in calculating the Yield Maintenance Spread), and (B) for the period after the First Anniversary Date through but not including the Prepayment Premium Expiration Date, Three percent (3.00%).

2.5 Lender’s Records; Mutilated, Destroyed or Lost Notes. The balance on Lender’s books and records shall be presumptive evidence (absent manifest error) of the amounts due and owing to Lender by Borrower; provided that any failure to so record or any error in so recording shall not limit or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations. In case any Note shall become mutilated or defaced, or be destroyed, lost or stolen, Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, execute and deliver a new Note of like principal amount in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Note. In the case of a mutilated or defaced Note, the mutilated or defaced Note shall be surrendered to Borrower upon delivery to Lender of the new Note. In the case of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note, Lender shall furnish to Borrower, upon delivery to Lender of the new Note (i) certification of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by Borrower to hold Borrower harmless.

 

-33-


2.6 Taxes. Any and all payments or reimbursements made under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto arising out of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents; excluding, however, the following: taxes imposed on the income of Lender by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof; taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan; and any “doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, then the sum payable hereunder shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions, Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made. In the event that, subsequent to the Closing Date, (1) any changes in any existing law, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, (2) any new law, regulation, treaty or directive enacted or any interpretation or application thereof, or (3) compliance by Lender with any new request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority does or shall subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Loan, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of interest or tax on the overall income of Lender, taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan and any “doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any state or other jurisdiction) and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making or continuing its Loan hereunder, as the case may be, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder, then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, within thirty (30) days after its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Lender, on an after-tax basis, for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable, as determined by Lender with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.6, it shall promptly notify Borrower of the event by reason of which Lender has become so entitled. Furthermore, if subsequent to the Closing Date there are any changes in law that impose or modify any reserve, special default or similar requirements relating to LIBOR Rate based pricing which are applicable to Lender’s source of financing for the Loan, Lender shall advise Borrower of such changes, and Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender within thirty (30) days after its demand, the amount necessary (as determined by Lender in good faith) to compensate Lender for costs arising out of such changes.

2.7 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the last sentence of this Section 2.7, all payments made hereunder shall be applied first, to the payment of any Late Charges and other sums (other than principal and interest) due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents, second, to any interest then due at the Default Rate, third to interest then due at the Base Rate, and last to the principal amount. Following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all sums collected by Lender shall be applied in such order of priority to such items set forth below as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion: (i) to the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and costs of appeal, incurred in the collection of any or all of the Loan due or the realization of any collateral securing any or all of the Loan; and (ii) to any or all unpaid amounts owing pursuant to the Loan Documents in any order of application as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall determine.

2.9 Security Agreement. To secure the payment, performance and discharge of the Obligations, Borrower hereby grants, assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over unto Lender, and hereby grants to Lender a continuing first priority, perfected security interest in all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under any and all of the following, whether now and/or existing and/or now owned and/or hereafter acquired and/or arising:

 

  (1) the Accounts;

 

  (2) the Contracts;

 

  (3) the Loan Accounts and other Loan Account Collateral;

 

  (4) the Equipment Leases;

 

  (5) the Fixtures and Personalty;

 

  (6) the General Intangibles;

 

  (7) the Inventory;

 

  (8) the Leases;

 

  (9) the Other Property;

 

  (10) the Rate Cap/Swap Agreement;

 

  (11) the Rents and other Gross Revenues;

 

  (12) the Plans and Specifications;

 

  (13) the Proceeds;

 

  (14) without any duplication, any and all other assets, and other personal property of Borrower; and

 

  (15) together with all accessions to, substitutions for, and replacements of, and of the foregoing and any and all products and cash and non-cash proceeds of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “UCC Collateral”).

With respect to all UCC Collateral constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the Accounts, this Agreement shall constitute a “security agreement” within the meaning of, and shall create a security interest under, the UCC. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender shall be permitted to file one or more Financing Statements naming Borrower as debtor and Lender as secured party identifying “all assets and personal property” of Borrower in the collateral description thereon. As to the UCC Collateral, the grant, transfer, and assignment provisions of this Section 2.9 shall control over the grant provision of Section 2.1 of the Mortgage. Borrower represents and warrants that, except for any financing statement filed by Lender, no presently effective financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof has been filed with any filing officer, and no other security interest has attached to or has been perfected in the Collateral or any part thereof. Borrower shall from time to time within fifteen (15) days after request by Lender, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or authorize the filing of any financing statement, renewal, affidavit, certificate, continuation statement or other document as Lender may reasonably request in order to evidence, perfect, preserve, continue, extend or maintain this security agreement and the security interest created hereby as a first priority Lien on the UCC Collateral, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

2.10 Certain Secured Party Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have all the remedies of a secured party under the UCC and all other

 

-35-


rights and remedies now or hereafter provided or permitted by law, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the UCC Collateral, or any part thereof, and for that purpose Lender may, as far as Borrower can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, enter (if this can be done without breach of the peace) upon any premises on which any of the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated. Without limitation of the foregoing, Lender shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve and prepare all of the Collateral for sale and to dispose of said Collateral, if Lender so chooses, from the Mortgaged Property, provided that Lender may require Borrower to assemble such UCC Collateral and make it available to Lender for disposition at a place to be designated by Lender from which the UCC Collateral would be sold or disposed of, and provided further that, for a reasonable period of time prior to the disposition of such UCC Collateral, Lender shall have the right to use same in the operation of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will execute and deliver to Lender any and all forms, documents, certificates and registrations as may be necessary or appropriate to enable Lender to sell and deliver good and clear title to the UCC Collateral to the buyer at the sale as herein provided. Unless the UCC Collateral is of the type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender will give Borrower at least ten (10) days’ notice of the time and place of any public sale of such UCC Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is given to Borrower at least ten (10) days before the time of the sale or disposition. Lender may buy at any public sale and, if the UCC Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, it may buy at private sale. Unless Lender shall otherwise elect, any sale of the UCC Collateral shall be solely as a unit and not in separate lots or parcels, it being expressly agreed, however, that Lender shall have the absolute right to dispose of such UCC Collateral in separate lots or parcels. Lender shall further have the absolute right to elect to sell the UCC Collateral as a unit with, and not separately from, the Land and Improvements constituting a portion of the Mortgaged Property. The net proceeds realized upon any disposition of the UCC Collateral, after deduction for the expenses of retaining, holding, preparing for sale, selling and the like and the attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Lender shall be applied towards satisfaction of such of the Obligations secured hereby, and in such order of application, as Lender may elect. If all of the Obligations are satisfied, Lender will account to Borrower for any surplus realized on such disposition.

3.2 Subsequent Advances.

The obligation of Lender to disburse proceeds of the Loan subsequent to the Closing Date Advance is subject to the prior or concurrent satisfaction of the conditions precedent to such subsequent advances set forth below in this Section 3.2.

(A) Advances. Following the Closing Date Advance of the Loan made pursuant to Section 3.1 above, so long as no Event of Default or Default exists, within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of a complete Request for Advance (or otherwise as set forth in this Agreement), Lender shall, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.2 and, when applicable Section 3.3 and 3.4, make Development Advances (including the Initial Advance) to

 

-41-


pay a portion of Borrower’s Hard Costs and Soft Costs incurred in connection with the Completion of Construction for the Project when such terms and conditions are satisfied or waived in writing by Lender. Additionally, to the extent Lender did not receive all deliveries and provide all approvals relating to the Project as set forth in Section 3.1 (N), (W), (X), (Y), (Z), (AA), (BB), (CC), (DD), (FF) and (GG) (collectively, the “Initial Closing Development Conditions”) and Lender has waived in whole or in part such Initial Closing Development Conditions and made the initial disbursement of the Loan pursuant to Section 3.1, then Lender shall have no further obligations to make one or more subsequent disbursements of the Loan for any portion of the development, design or Construction of the Project for which such Initial Closing Development Conditions have not been satisfied and obtained. To the extent Lender has received and approved the Initial Closing Development Conditions applicable to a portion of the development, design and Construction of the Project, and all other conditions and requirements applicable thereto as set forth in this Section 3.2, and as applicable 3.3 and 3.4, Lender shall make disbursements of the Loan for such purposes. The Development Advances shall be made by Lender in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3.

(B) Intentionally Omitted.

(C) Intentionally Omitted.

(D) Loan Balancing; Right to Require Deposits. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Loan shall at all times be “in balance.” The Loan shall be deemed to be “in balance” only at such time and from time to time, as Lender may reasonably determine that either: (a) the then undisbursed portion of the Loan (giving effect to all escrow reserves, retainage and that portion of the Hard Cost Contingency and Soft Cost Contingency available for Borrower’s then current use as permitted by this Agreement) equals or exceeds the amount necessary to pay for (i) all Hard Costs for work done and not theretofore paid for or to be done in connection with the Completion of Construction in accordance with the Plans and Specifications based on “Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs” (as defined below), and (ii) all Soft Costs and other costs payable by Borrower under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Construction of the Project and equipping of the Project until Completion of Construction of the Project also based on Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs, in each case based on the Development Budget (as modified to reflect cost savings and/or reallocations to the extent permitted hereunder), or (b) the then undisbursed portion of the Loan does not equal or exceed the foregoing described respective amount or amounts, but Borrower either: (x) has deposited with Lender or into a construction escrow held by Lender cash sufficient to bring the Loan “in balance,” (y) has, with Lender’s prior approval (which approval may be given or withheld at Lender’s reasonable discretion) delivered to Lender financial assurances of Borrower’s ability to complete and fund all Hard Costs, Soft Costs and Land acquisition costs, if any (which assurances shall be determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion, and which may include, letters of credit, cash or cash equivalent), or (z) has, with Lender’s prior approval (which approval may be given or withheld in Lender’s sole discretion) agreed to fund, and is funding, the deficiency from outside sources, as payments for such Hard Costs, Soft Costs, and Land acquisition costs, if any, and, until the Loan is in balance, prior to any further Development Advances. All funds deposited by Borrower with Lender will be disbursed by Lender for Hard Costs and Soft Costs in accordance with the Development Budget (as it may be modified by Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs) prior to any further

 

-42-


Development Advance. Interest shall be paid to Borrower with respect to any such amounts deposited with Lender to the extent the financial institution with which such funds are deposited provides interest thereon. Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the right to make from time to time in Lender’s discretion an estimate of all Hard Costs and Soft Costs which estimate is herein sometimes called “Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs.” In the first instance, Lender’s Estimate of Development Cost shall be made upon the basis of the Construction Contracts, executed Subcontracts and purchase orders, or, in those instances where Subcontracts or purchase orders have not yet been let, upon the basis of either written bids with responsible contractors, tradesmen and material suppliers obtained by Borrower and approved by Lender, or Lender’s estimate of such costs where written bids have not been obtained, and shall take into account all Soft Costs and other costs and expenses to be paid by Borrower hereunder through the Completion of Construction, with such allowances for reserves and contingencies as Lender shall deem appropriate in its discretion for the Project. Thereafter, Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs will take into account, in addition to the Construction Contract, Subcontracts and purchase orders, and other considerations which Lender, in its sole judgment, deems relevant or likely to have an impact upon all Hard Costs and Soft Costs for the Project. Borrower agrees that if for any reason the amount of undisbursed proceeds of the Loan shall at any time be or become insufficient for the purposes described herein, regardless of how such condition may have been brought about, upon ten (10) Business Days’ written notice to Borrower during which time Borrower shall have the right to bring the Loan into balance as described above, and upon Borrower’s failure to bring the Loan into balance, it shall be an Event of Default hereunder and, in addition to any other rights or remedies of Lender hereunder or at law or in equity, Lender shall not be obligated to disburse the Loan during the period of such insufficiency. Borrower agrees that the determination of Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs and the determination of whether the Loan is “in balance” shall be done on a line item basis and not on a gross or aggregate funds available basis, it being understood that all limitations on reallocation of line items as set forth herein shall be observed and taken into account when making Lender’s Estimate of Development Costs and determining whether the Loan is “in balance.”

(E) Funding Limitations. Lender shall have no obligation to make any Development Advance for Hard Costs after the earlier of (i) the Project Completion Date, (ii) the Required Completion Date or (iii) June 30, 2008.

(F) Limitations of Requests. Borrower shall submit a Request for Advance no more frequently than once per month with no more than 45 days between each request. Lender shall make no more than one Development Advance per month.

(G) Request for Advance. Borrower shall have submitted to Lender an executed completed Request for Advance.

(H) Required Lien Waivers. Borrower shall have delivered to Lender all Required Lien Waivers deemed necessary by Lender and the Title Company for services and materials provided in connection with the development, design and Construction through the date of the applicable Development Advance.

(I) Inspection Approval. With respect to Development Advances for Construction, the Architect or other design professional, as appropriate, involved with such advance shall have

 

-43-


certified to Lender in form required by Lender and included as part of Schedule 1.1(G) that the requested Development Advance is for the payment of construction costs incurred in connection with Construction which has been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications for the Project.

(J) Payment Supporting Information. Borrower shall provide Lender with true and correct copies of all invoices and bills for Hard Costs and Soft Costs (and Land acquisition costs, if any) incurred in connection with the then completed development, design and Construction of the Project, and there shall be no material deviation from the Development Budget (except with Lender’s prior written approval) in connection with the development, design and Construction of the Project which has been completed to date. Specifically, no advance (or advances, as appropriate) for a specific line item in the Development Budget for the Project, including any retainage for said line item, will exceed the amount of said line item in the Development Budget for the Project. For purposes of this Section 3.2, costs shall be deemed to have been “incurred” by Borrower at the following times: (i) Hard Costs – when the labor has been performed or the materials have been supplied and incorporated into the Mortgaged Property, payment therefore has been requested by the contractor or supplier thereof, and such contractor or supplier is entitled thereto; (ii) Soft Costs – when such costs are due and payable (or have been paid by Borrower) and the services relating thereto have been rendered or the value thereof has been received by Borrower; and (iii) Land acquisition costs – when paid.

(K) Verification. All Hard Costs, Soft Costs and Land acquisition costs, if any, are to be certified by Borrower in accordance with the Request for Advance and verified by Lender and, as requested by Lender from time to time with respect to Hard Costs by Lender’s Construction Consultant as having been incurred for the Project. Verification of the monthly progress of the development, design and Construction, the Hard Costs and the Soft Costs which have been incurred by Borrower, and the estimated total Hard Costs and Soft Costs of Completion of Construction may be made by Lender in its reasonable discretion. All Hard Costs and Soft Costs (and Land acquisition costs, if any) shall be subject to verification and approval by Lender not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(L) Intentionally Omitted.

(M) Retainage. Except as provided below, Borrower shall not request in a Request for Advance, but rather withhold payment from Contractors as evidenced in each Request for Advance, the amount of 10% of the ‘Contract Sum’ under such Construction Contract eligible for payment (the “Retainage”) to each Contractor until such Contractor’s portion of the Construction of the Project has achieved Completion of Construction. To the extent permitted by a Construction Contract for the Project, Borrower may request in writing that Lender approve any of the following actions following completion of the applicable requirements set forth below.

(i) Upon or following the Construction of any Subcontractor being fifty percent (50%) complete, no further Retainage being withheld on payments made to Contractor for such Subcontractor’s work performed following such fifty percent (50%) (or greater as requested) completion of such Subcontractor’s work.

 

-44-


(ii) Upon or following all Construction being fifty percent (50%) complete, no further Retainage being withheld on payments made to Contractor for Contractor’s general conditions items and fee, as applicable, which apply to Construction following such fifty percent (50%) (or greater, as requested) completion of all Construction.

(iii) Upon the final Completion of Construction of any Subcontractor’s portion of Construction, the release of all or a portion of the Retainage owed to such Subcontractor; provided that if the request is for a release of all such Retainage owed to such Subcontractor, then such request must be accompanied by all lien waivers and other deliveries required for final payment under both the applicable Subcontract and Section 3.3 below.

Lender, acting in its reasonable discretion and under no obligation to do so, may approve or disapprove any such request. It shall be a condition precedent to any such approval by Lender that all applicable sureties consent in writing to such change in Retainage. If so approved, such request shall thereafter be specifically set forth in applicable Request for Advance and deliveries related thereto. Lender shall not be obligated to release or reduce the Retainage for Contractor or on behalf of any Subcontractor who has performed all or any portion of the Construction until all of the Construction has achieved Completion of Construction.

(N) Payments. Lender may make Development Advances (i) payable directly to Borrower, or (ii) payable jointly to Borrower and to the applicable party for whom payment is requested. Lender may elect to make all Development Advances through a construction or other escrow agreement with the Title Company.

(O) Representations and Warranties. Borrower shall be deemed to have remade, as of the date of each submitted Request for Advance, each and every representation and warranty made by Borrower in this Agreement and in every other Loan Document, and every such representation and warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects at the time of each Development Advance.

(P) Title Endorsement. Borrower shall have delivered to Lender an endorsement to the Title Policy, which endorsement: (i) insures Lender against filed and unfiled mechanics’ liens; (ii) increases the coverage under the Title Policy to the lesser of (x) full principal amount then advanced under the Loan and (y) the maximum amount of coverage under the Title Policy; (iii) insures that, since the date of the Title Policy or the most recent endorsement to the Title Policy, there has been no change in the vesting of title to the Premises (except for the lien of unpaid taxes, not yet due and payable), and (iv) changes the effective date of the Title Policy to the date of the advance being made by Lender, all in a form acceptable to Lender.

(Q) Compliance. With respect to Hard Costs for the Project, Borrower shall have provided Lender with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the Construction complies with all building, zoning and other Legal Requirements, (ii) all necessary Licenses and Permits, approvals and consents required for the use, occupancy and operation of the Land and Improvements, as altered by the Construction for the Project as applicable to the then current state of the Construction, and (iii) evidence satisfactory to Lender that all Construction completed on the date of the Request for Advance has been inspected and approved by each

 

-45-


Governmental Authority and by each other person or entity (including any tenants) having the right to inspect and approve such Construction, in each case as is required, and (iv) all other elements required for the Construction to achieve Construction Legal Compliance through and including the date of the requested Development Advance.

(R) Additional Information. Borrower shall have provided Lender with such other information and material relating to the development, design, entitlements, and Construction of the Project (as appropriate to the stage of development) as Lender reasonably requests, which information and/or material is within Borrower’s possession or readily obtainable by Borrower with minimal expense. Additionally, Borrower shall have satisfied such other conditions to any Development Advance which Lender may reasonably require or impose.

(S) Foundation Survey. With respect to foundations and footings for the Project, Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days after completing such foundation and footing work for the Project and as a condition precedent to Development Advances made after such thirty (30) days period, deliver to Lender a foundation survey satisfactory to Lender showing the location of such foundations and footings and confirming that none of such foundations, footings or other elements of the Project at the time of such survey encroach upon any easements or adjoining properties or violate any building lines or any applicable Legal Requirements.

(T) Construction Consultant’s Report. With respect to Hard Costs for the Project, Lender shall have received a written report from Lender’s Construction Consultant with respect to the applicable Request for Advance stating: (i) that, in the opinion of Lender’s Construction Consultant, all Change Orders and modifications or amendments to the Plans and Specifications, any Development Budget or any Development Schedule required hereby to be approved by Lender are satisfactory to Lender’s Construction Consultant; (ii) that, in the opinion of Lender’s Construction Consultant, the Construction theretofore completed has been completed in accordance with the Plans and Specifications; (iii) what percentage of the Construction, in the aggregate, has been completed as of the date of the applicable Request for Advance; (iv) the extent to which, if any, the undisbursed Development Advances for the Hard Costs and Soft Costs not yet incurred but necessary for Completion of Construction are not sufficient to permit Completion of Construction in accordance with the Development Schedule; and (v) whether Completion of Construction can, in Lender’s Construction Consultant’s opinion, be completed prior to the Project Completion Date; provided, however, Lender shall use its best efforts to require Lender’s Consultant to diligently review such Request for Advance.

(U) Change Order. No Change Orders, other than Permitted Construction Change Orders, shall have been made to any Construction Contract, Architect’s Agreement, MEP Engineer Agreement, the Entitlement Documents, the Plans and Specifications or the Development Budget without obtaining Lender’s prior written consent to such Change Order. All Change Orders shall have been made in accordance with all Legal Requirements. Borrower shall have promptly notified Lender of any anticipated changes in line items of the Development Budget, which if approved, would result in a net increase in the total amount of the Development Budget. Any agreement, other than in connection with a Permitted Construction Change Order, which causes a net increase in the Development Budget shall require Lender’s prior written consent.

 

-46-


(V) No Stop Notice. No stop notice (whether bonded or not) shall have been served upon or otherwise delivered to Lender in connection with the Construction or otherwise in connection with the Loan, unless Borrower shall have (a) paid and discharged the same using funds other than Loan funds, (b) effected the release thereof by delivering to Lender a surety bond complying with the requirements of applicable Legal Requirements for such release, or (c) taken such other actions as Lender may approve in writing to release Lender from any obligation or liability with respect to such stop notice.

(W) No Liens.

4.6 Title to Property; Liens; Zoning; Contracts; Condition of the Mortgaged Property.

(A) Borrower has good and marketable fee simple title to the Land, the Improvements and the other components of the Mortgaged Property, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances. Borrower, Master Lessee or CHI 3 Procurement owns or leases all real and personal property necessary for the operation of the Mortgaged Property subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

There are no outstanding Claims and all work, services or materials the provision of which might ripen into a Claim have been fully paid for. There are no delinquent ground rents, assessments for improvements or other similar outstanding charges or Impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property. No Improvements lie outside the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Land or encroach onto any easements to any extent (unless affirmatively insured by the Title Policy), and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the Land to any extent which would materially impair the Mortgaged

 

-55-


Property. The Title Policy premium has been fully paid. Except for customary gap undertakings, neither Borrower, nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other Person, has provided any title indemnities (or analogous documentation) or deposits of cash or other security to the title insurer to obtain the Title Policy. The Permitted Encumbrances do not and will not materially interfere with the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage, the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, the ability of the Mortgaged Property to generate Net Cash Flow sufficient to service the Loan or the marketability or value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower will preserve its right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Property for so long as the Obligations remain outstanding and will warrant and defend same and the validity and priority of the Mortgage and the Liens arising pursuant to the Loan Documents from and against any and all claims whatsoever other than the Permitted Encumbrances.

(B) The Mortgaged Property is zoned for use as I-2 General Industrial District and related amenities, which zoning designation is unconditional, in full force and effect, and is beyond all applicable appeal periods. Borrower is not in violation of, and, the Mortgaged Property is in full compliance with all applicable zoning, subdivision, land use and other Legal Requirements. No legal proceedings are pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge threatened, with respect to the compliance of the Mortgaged Property with Legal Requirements. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Mortgaged Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the Mortgaged Property and validly created, existing appurtenant perpetual easements insured in the Title Policy or use of public rights of way. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other Legal Requirements applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. The Mortgaged Property shall contain enough permanent parking spaces to satisfy all requirements imposed by applicable Legal Requirements with respect to parking. All licenses, certificates of occupancy, permits and other Proprietary Rights necessary to operate the Mortgaged Property as it is currently operated are in full force and effect including all water permits and approvals. Borrower has not received any written notice of any violation of any such licenses, permits, authorizations, registrations or approvals that materially impair the value of the Mortgaged Property for which such notice was given or which would affect the use or operation of the Mortgaged Property in any material respect, which noticed violation remains uncured.

(C) Borrower has provided Lender with true and complete copies of all Material Contracts, all of which are specifically listed on Schedule 4.6(C) hereof. Borrower’s, Borrower Representative’s and Carveout Guarantor’s organizational documents that have been delivered to Lender are, true, correct and complete. Except for the Loan Documents and the SVB Loan Agreement (and with respect to Carveout Guarantor only, those items disclosed in its most recent 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the most recent 10-Q filings for the quarters ended September 30, 2006, June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2006), neither Borrower nor Carveout Guarantor is a party to or bound by, nor is any of their respective property subject to or bound by, any contract or other agreement which restricts its ability to conduct its business at the Mortgaged Property in the ordinary course or, either individually or in the aggregate, has a Material Adverse Effect or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower is not in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any contract which could have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

-56-


(D) To the extent any Improvements exist on the Land, all such Improvements are in good condition and repair. Municipal or private water supply, storm and sanitary sewers, and electrical, gas and telephone facilities are available to the Mortgaged Property to the boundary lines of the Mortgaged Property through publicly dedicated streets or highways or perpetual appurtenant easements insured on the Title Policy as appurtenant easements, are sufficient to meet the reasonable needs of the Mortgaged Property as now used or as otherwise presently contemplated to be used, and are connected to, and is in full unimpaired operation with respect to the Improvements and no other utility facilities are necessary to meet the reasonable needs of the Mortgaged Property following its contemplated development. The design conditions of the Mortgaged Property are such that surface and storm water will not accumulate on the Mortgaged Property and does not drain from the Mortgaged Property across land of adjacent property owners or others in any manner which would have a Material Adverse Effect or which require any approvals or easements not already obtained. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.6(D) or on the plat of survey delivered to Lender, no part of the Mortgaged Property is within a flood plain or in a flood hazard area as defined by the Federal Insurance Administration and (except to the extent validly created and existing perpetual appurtenant easements insured in the Title Policy have been created therefor) none of the Improvements to be constructed or as constructed create encroachments over, across or upon any of the Mortgaged Property’s boundary lines, rights of way or easements, and no building or other improvements on adjoining land create such an encroachment. All irrigation lines servicing the Mortgaged Property are entirely located on the Mortgaged Property or are located on adjacent property pursuant to validly created and existing perpetual appurtenant easements insured as appurtenant easements in the Title Policy. The Land and Improvements (if any) thereon have legally adequate contiguous rights of access to public ways. All roads necessary for the full utilization of the Land and Improvements for their current purpose (or intended as-built purpose with respect to the Improvements to be constructed thereon) have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities or are validly created and existing perpetual appurtenant easements insured as appurtenant easements in the Title Policy. No offsite improvements are necessary or used for the ownership, use or operation of the Mortgaged Property, other than public utilities. The Improvements (upon Completion of Construction, if not currently located on the Land), the Land, the Fixtures and Personalty and the Inventory located on the Land constitutes all of the real property, equipment, fixtures and other tangible property currently owned or leased by Borrower or used in the operation of the Mortgaged Property and the Fixtures and Personalty owned by the Borrower are sufficient to own, operate and use the Land and Improvements as currently operated (or upon Completion of Construction with respect to Improvements, as applicable). Except for the Fixtures and Personalty and items of tangible personal property owned by the Master Lessee or by tenants, sublessees or licensees of the Master Lessee permitted by the Master Lease, no other tangible personal property will be located on the Land or in the Improvements. Borrower has not entered into any agreement or option, and is not otherwise bound, to sell the Mortgaged Property (or any part thereof) or to acquire any additional real estate or Investments. As of the date hereof, no portion of the Improvements (if any) constituting part of the Mortgaged Property or on the Land has been materially damaged, destroyed or injured by fire or other casualty which has not been fully restored.

There are no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens, alienable bills or other claims constituting or that may constitute a Lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof to Borrower’s knowledge, and no work contracted for by Borrower for which any such Lien could be asserted has been performed which has not been paid for per the agreed upon contracted terms related to such work. Borrower has not received any notice from any governmental or quasi-governmental body or agency or from any person or entity with respect to (and Borrower does not know of) any actual or threatened taking of the Land or Improvements, or any portion thereof, for any public or quasi-public purpose or of any moratorium which may affect the use, operation or ownership of the Mortgaged Property.

All deficiencies proposed as a result of such audits have been paid, reserved against, settled, or, as described in Schedule 4.8, are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

ordinary course of business and transfer or dispose of tangible personal property to Persons that are not Borrower’s Affiliates, which tangible personal property is immediately replaced by an article of equivalent suitability and value or which is no longer necessary in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property provided that such transfer or disposal will (i) not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not materially impair the utility of the Mortgaged Property, and (iii) not result in a reduction or abatement of, or right of offset against, the Gross Revenues payable under any Lease or otherwise, and provided that any tangible personal property acquired by Borrower (and not so disposed of) shall be subject to the Lien of the Mortgage. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and, as applicable, its general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Mortgaged Property in agreeing to make the Loan and will continue to rely on such ownership of the Mortgaged Property and Borrower as a means of maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property as security for repayment of the Loan and the performance of the other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Mortgaged Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Loan or the performance of the other Obligations, Lender can recover the Loan by a sale of the Mortgaged Property. Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Loan immediately due and payable upon any Default under this Section 7.12.

Following the Completion of Construction of the Initial Project, Borrower shall not alter, remove or demolish or permit the Alteration, removal or demolition of, any Improvement except as the same may be necessary in connection with (i) a Restoration in connection with a taking or casualty in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, (ii) Approved Capital Improvements in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement and (iii) other Alterations permitted in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 7.15. Following the Completion of Construction of the Initial Project, if no Event

 

-85-


of Default exists, Borrower may undertake any Alteration, improvement, demolition or removal of Improvements or any portion thereof (any such alteration, improvement, demolition or removal, an “Alteration”) so long as (i) Borrower provides Lender with at least thirty (30) days’ prior notice of any such Alteration, (ii) such Alteration is undertaken in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, is not prohibited by, and is in full compliance with, and does not violate, any Material Contracts, Leases or Legal Requirements and does not, during Construction and upon completion, have a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) Borrower provides Lender with evidence, satisfactory to Lender, that Borrower has sufficient funds, through a combination of Reserves, Loan proceeds, Proceeds, funds deposited with Lender or otherwise to complete and pay all of the costs of the Alterations, (iv) such Alteration is in the nature of (a) an Approved Capital Improvements permitted under this Agreement or a Restoration required or permitted under the Agreement or (b) has been consented to by Lender (such consent will not be unreasonably withheld conditioned or delayed) and (v) prior to commencement and from time to time upon request from Lender, Borrower delivers an Officer’s Certificate certifying that conditions (i)–(iv), inclusive, have been satisfied. All Alterations shall, unless Lender otherwise approves be made in conformance with Section 3 and Section 5.18. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.15, without the necessity of complying with conditions (i), (iii), (iv) and (v) above, Borrower shall have the right, without having obtained the prior written consent of Lender and provided no Event of Default exists, (w) to make any improvements, alterations or modifications to the Mortgaged Property the cost of which is less than Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (so long as such improvements do not devalue the Mortgaged Property or increase Lender’s obligations or liability, if any), (x) to make non-structural Alterations which are reasonably required or desirable for the operation of the Mortgaged Property and which are not visible from the exterior of the Improvements, (y) to install or replace any Fixtures and Personality in the Improvements or accessions to any Fixtures and Personalty, or (z) to construct and perform the Phase II Build-Out.

-86-


payment of such proceeds directly to Lender. Borrower shall obtain Lender’s approval prior to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of any claims for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance or with respect to any condemnation, and Lender shall have the right to participate with Borrower in negotiation of any such settlement, adjustment or compromise provided, however, Borrower shall be permitted, so long as no Event of Default exists, to settle insurance claims of $2,500,000 or less without Lender’s approval (but with reasonable advance notice to Lender) and utilize any such funds for Restoration. Lender shall also have the right to appear with Borrower in any action against an insurer based on a claim for loss, damage or destruction under any policy or policies of insurance.

(B) All compensation, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof as a result of any casualty or condemnation, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1 (the “Proceeds”), shall be paid over to Lender and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with recovery of the same, and then, except as set forth below in this Section 8.1, shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender, without regard to the adequacy of Lender’s security hereunder, to the payment or prepayment of the Obligations in such order as Lender may determine, and any amounts so applied shall reduce the Obligations pro tanto (without any Prepayment Premium due in connection therewith). Any application of the Proceeds or any portion thereof to the Obligations shall not be construed to cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such Default or Event of Default.

(C) Subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.1, and provided that (i) all Proceeds have been deposited with Lender; (ii) no Event of Default shall exist; (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall not have occurred; (iv) the Restoration is capable, as reasonably determined by Lender, of being completed before the earlier (the “Required Restoration Date”) to occur of (x) the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (y) the date on which the insurance carried by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4, with respect to the Mortgaged Property shall expire and (z) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the casualty or condemnation in question; (v) Lender shall have been furnished all information related to the Restoration as was required by Section 3 for the Initial Project; (vi) the Improvements so restored or rebuilt shall be of at least equal value and substantially the same character as prior to the damage or destruction and appropriate for the purposes for which they were originally erected (and, if requested by Lender, Borrower will furnish, at its expense, an appraisal confirming such valuation); (vii) if the estimated cost of the Restoration exceeds the Proceeds available, Borrower shall have deposited with Lender such sums or other security as may be necessary, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, to pay such excess costs; (viii) to the extent in effect upon Completion of Construction, the Master Lease shall remain in force and effect; and (ix) Lender shall have received notice reasonably promptly of the fire or other hazard or of the condemnation proceedings specifying the date of such fire or other hazard or the date the notice of condemnation proceedings was received and the request to Lender to make said Proceeds available to Borrower; then the Proceeds, less the actual costs, fees and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with adjustment of loss and Lender’s reasonable administrative expenses relating to such loss and the disbursement of the Proceeds shall be applied by Lender to the payment of all the costs of the aforesaid restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or

 

-87-


Alterations, including the cost of temporary repairs or for the protection of property pending the completion of permanent restoration, repairs, replacements, rebuilding or Alterations (all of which temporary repairs, protection of property and permanent restoration, repairs, replacement, rebuilding or Alterations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Restoration”), and shall be paid out from time to time as such Restoration progresses upon the same terms and conditions as disbursements of the Loan were made for the Initial Project as set forth in Section 3.

(D) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to excuse Borrower from repairing or maintaining the Mortgaged Property as provided in this Agreement or restoring all damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property, regardless of whether or not there are insurance proceeds available or whether any such Proceeds are sufficient in amount, and the application or release by Lender of any Proceeds shall not cure or waive any Default or Event of Default or invalidate any other act done by Lender to exercise its remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

-91-


(i) may enforce or cancel all contracts entered into by Borrower or make other contracts which are in Lender’s sole opinion advisable, and (ii) shall be reimbursed by Borrower upon demand any reasonable amount or amounts expended by Lender for such performance together with any reasonable costs, charges, or expenses incident thereto or otherwise incurred or expended by Lender or its representatives (including an appraisal) on behalf of Borrower in connection with the Mortgaged Property, and the amounts so expended shall be considered part of the Loan evidenced by the Note and secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

9.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers; Reasonable Charges. All of the remedies given to Lender in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity to Lender shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately, successively or concurrently. Failure to exercise any one of the remedies herein provided shall not constitute a waiver thereof by Lender, nor shall the use of any such remedies prevent the subsequent or concurrent resort to any other remedy or remedies vested in Lender by the Loan Documents or at law or in equity. To be effective, any waiver by Lender must be in writing and such waiver shall be limited in its effect to the condition or default specified therein, and no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent condition or default. It is agreed that (i) the actual costs and damages that Lender would suffer by reason of an Event of Default (exclusive of the attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents) or a prepayment would be difficult and needlessly expensive to calculate and establish, and (ii) the amounts of the Default Rate, the Late Charge, payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(C)(ii) and the Prepayment Premium are reasonable, taking into consideration the circumstances known to the parties at this time, and (iii) the Default Rate, the Late Charges and Lender’s reasonable

 

-92-


attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred in connection with enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable as provided herein, and (iv) the Default Rate, Late Charges, Prepayment Premium, the payments to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(C)(ii) and the obligation to pay Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and other enforcement costs do not, individually or collectively, constitute a penalty.

SECTION 10

SECONDARY MARKET TRANSACTION

10.1 Secondary Market Transaction. (a) Borrower agrees that Lender has the absolute right to securitize, syndicate, grant participations in, or otherwise Transfer all or any portion of the Loan and/or the Note (each such transaction, a “Securitization”). Lender may determine to Transfer some or all of the Loan or retain title to some or all of the Loan as part of a Securitization. Borrower further agrees that Lender may delegate any or all of Lender’s rights, powers and privileges to a servicer (“Servicer”) at no cost to Borrower and Borrower shall, upon notice from Lender, recognize the Servicer as the agent of Lender. In the event this Loan becomes or is designated by Lender to become an asset of a Securitization, upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall meet, from time to time, with representatives of the Rating Agencies in connection with such a Securitization to discuss the business and operations of the Mortgaged Property and, in that regard, agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies including delivering any existing environmental materials relating to the Mortgaged Property in Borrower’s possession. Lender at its sole cost and expense may retain the Rating Agencies to provide rating surveillance services on any certificates issued in a Securitization. In no event shall Borrower be required to pay any Servicer fees, Securitization trustee fees or other Securitization administrative expenses except as may be expressly provided in this Agreement. Borrower shall, upon request from Lender, from time to time, cooperate, and Borrower shall, cause Carveout Guarantor and Borrower Representative to cooperate, in all reasonable respects in connection with a Securitization. Such cooperation may, in Lender’s discretion, include documentation changes, changes in organizational documents, changes in Accounts, Reserves, Payment Dates, interest accrual periods, insurance endorsement changes, tenant payment direction changes, site inspections, updated appraisals, preparation and delivery of financial information or other diligence requested by Lender and/or any Rating Agency, execution of one or more promissory notes and the creation of Liens securing such notes of differing priority and/or the creation of mezzanine debt secured by pledges of all of the membership interests in the Borrower so long as the principal amount, interest rate, payment terms and other monetary terms of the Loan do not, in the aggregate change so long as none of the foregoing shall materially and adversely impact the financial position, operations of Borrower, Borrower Representative or Carveout Guarantor (in which case Borrower’s refusal to cooperate with any of the foregoing shall be deemed reasonable). None of Borrower, Carveout Guarantor or Borrower Representative will be required to incur more than de minimis expenses or costs pursuant to this Section 10.1, except to the extent Borrower is otherwise obligated under the Loan Documents to pay such costs and expenses. Borrower will, upon request from Lender, in connection with a Securitization, enter into such acknowledgments and confirmations of the applicable assignments as Lender may reasonably request. Borrower shall, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 10.1, use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which Lender determines are reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization. Borrower will not, pursuant to any of the provisions of this

Section 10.1, incur, suffer or accept (except to a de minimis extent) (i) any lesser rights or greater obligations as are currently set forth in the Loan Documents or Borrower’s Organizational Documents (unless Borrower is made whole by the holder of the Note) or (ii) subject to Section 11.13 hereof, any personal liability other than as set forth in the Loan Documents. Borrower will also, if requested by Lender and to the extent such an opinion letter can be reasonably issued by counsel reasonably acceptable to Borrower and Lender, cause independent counsel to render opinions customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Mortgaged Property and Borrower and its Affiliates (but not a true sale or 10b-5 opinion), including a Nonconsolidation Opinion, at Lender’s sole cost and expense, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies and which shall be addressed to such Persons as shall be reasonably designated by the holder of the Note. Borrower’s failure to deliver the opinions (to the extent within its control) required hereby within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefore shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If requested by Lender, Borrower’s cooperation will also include (but subject to Section 11.13) certifications and agreements pursuant to which Borrower will certify that it has examined the portion of applicable preliminary and final private placement memorandum or preliminary, final and supplement or prospectus specified by Lender as pertaining to Borrower, the Loan, Carveout Guarantor, Borrower’s Affiliates, and the Mortgaged Property, and that each such designated portion, as it relates to Borrower, Carveout Guarantor, Borrower’s Affiliates, the Mortgaged Property and all other aspects of the Loan, does 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. Such agreement may, if requested by Lender, require Borrower to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Lender and other Persons designated by Lender from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses that arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the reviewed portions of the documents or other information or documents prepared by Borrower, Carveout Guarantor or their Affiliates and provided to Lender or in any representation or warranty of Borrower or Carveout Guarantor contained in the Loan Documents 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 information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information not materially misleading. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, at Lender’s request in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall, take all reasonable efforts to, (i) to ensure that its organizational structure and organizations documents are reasonably satisfactory to the Rating Agents (including, without limitation, the addition of industry standard bankruptcy remote covenants in the organizational documents of Borrower and an Intermediate Borrower Entity, including, without limitation, the addition of two (2) independent directors at the Borrower and/or Intermediate Borrower Entity level); and (ii) commence delivering its financial statements for Borrower and any Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity, including, without limitation, any Intermediate Borrower Entity, on a non-consolidated basis. Any change in such structure, including, without limitation, the introduction of an Intermediate Borrower Entity, shall be subject to Borrower’s reasonable approval, taking into account the overall structure of the Carveout Guarantor and its subsidiaries and other obligations that may be applicable to such entities. If an Intermediate Borrower Entity is requested by Lender to serve as the corporate member of Borrower in connection with a Securitization, Borrower shall promptly make all reasonable efforts to implement such request, which Intermediate Borrower Entity shall from that point forward comply with then current Rating Agency requirements.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Borrower acknowledges that as of the date hereof that (i) the Note consists of four separate promissory notes (Promissory Note-One, Promissory Note-Two, Promissory Note-Three and Promissory Note-Four), (ii) SFT I, Inc. will be the Lender for purposes of enforcing and performing Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and will act as agent for each of the Note holders, (iii) the Lender as of the date of this Agreement, shall remain responsible and liable for all Development Advances under the Loan, (iv) all payments due under the Note and the Loan shall be tendered and remitted to Lender, (v) all notices shall be sent to Lender in accordance with the notice provisions set forth herein, and (vi) any consent or approval of Lender required hereunder shall only be directed to and/or given by Lender and such consent or approval of Lender shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the consent or approval of each of the Note holders. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Lender shall act solely as agent of each of the Note holders and does not assume, and shall not be deemed to have assumed, any obligations toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Borrower. All notices from, acts of and communications by Lender, on behalf of itself and as agent for the Note holders, shall be deemed legally conclusive and binding; and Borrower or any third party (including any court) shall rely on any and all communications or acts of Lender with respect to the issuance of any notice, the exercise of any rights or the granting of any consent, waiver or approval on behalf of Lender and the Note holders in all circumstances where an action by Lender is required or permitted pursuant to this Agreement or the provisions of any other Loan Document or by applicable law without the right or necessity of making any inquiry of any individual Note holder as to the authority of Lender with respect to such matter (provided that nothing herein shall, as between Lender and the Note holders, waive any obligation of Lender under the Co-Lending Agreement between Lender and each of the Note holders dated as of even date herewith).

SECTION 11

MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Expenses and Attorneys’ Fees. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to promptly pay all fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, cost of appeal and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of other professionals retained by Lender) incurred by Lender in connection with the following, and all such fees, costs and expenses shall be part of the Obligations, payable on demand: (A) the examination, review, due diligence investigation, documentation and closing of the financing arrangements evidenced by the Loan Documents including fees and costs for the Environmental Report and the Physical Conditions Report; (B) the giving or withholding of any consents, approvals, or permissions, disbursements of the Loan and disbursements from the Accounts and in connection with any amendments, modifications and waivers relating to the Loan Documents requested by Borrower; (C) the review, documentation, negotiation and closing of any subordination or intercreditor agreements, Lease reviews, and subordination, nondisturbance and attornment agreements; (D) Lender’s consultants including Lender’s Construction Consultant; and (E) enforcement of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the collection of any payments due from Borrower or Carveout Guarantor under the Loan Documents or any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under the Loan Document, whether in the nature of a “workout” or in connection with any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or otherwise.

11.2 Certain Lender Matters. Lender may, in accordance with Lender’ customary practices, destroy or otherwise dispose of all documents, schedules, invoices or other papers, delivered by Borrower to Lender unless Borrower requests, at the time of delivery, in writing that same be returned. 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 Mortgaged Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender. No provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other Person. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of loyalty, duty of care or any other duty to Borrower or any of Borrower’s partners, shareholders, members, managers, Affiliates or any other Person. By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed or fulfilled or to be given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, Lender shall not be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not be or constitute any warranty or representation with respect hereto or thereto by Lender. 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 or their respective attorneys, advisors, accountants, officers, representatives, directors, employees, partners, shareholders, trustees, members or managers. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates. LENDER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY HEREUNDER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Borrower or Borrower Representative or Carveout Guarantor, or their respective creditors or property, Lender, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in such proceedings for the entire secured Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower after such date. Lender shall have the right from time to time to designate, appoint and replace one or more servicers at Lender’s sole cost and expense and to allow such servicers to exercise any and all rights of Lender under the Loan Documents. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or provided to Lender shall be in form and

 

-96-


substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall not be entitled to (and does hereby waive any and all rights to receive) any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which Legal Requirements or the Loan Documents expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower. In any action or proceeding brought by Borrower against Lender claiming or based upon an allegation that Lender unreasonably withheld its consent to or approval of a proposed act by Borrower which requires Lender’s consent hereunder, Borrower’s sole and exclusive remedy in said action or proceeding shall be declaratory judgment, injunctive relief or specific performance requiring Lender to grant such consent or approval.

11.3 Indemnity. In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section 11.1 and the indemnification obligations set forth in other portions of this Agreement, the Environmental Indemnification Agreement or the other Loan Documents, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to indemnify, pay, defend and hold Lender, its officers, directors, members, partners, shareholders, participants, beneficiaries, trustees, employees, agents, successors and assigns, any subsequent holder of the Note, any trustee, fiscal agent, Servicer, underwriter and placement agent, (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities (except for income taxes, or franchise taxes imposed in lieu of income taxes, imposed generally by federal, state or local taxing authorities with respect to interest or commitment or other fees payable hereunder or changes in the rate of interest or tax on the overall income of Lender, taxes that are not directly attributable to the Loan and any “doing business” taxes, however denominated, charged by any Governmental Authority, as set forth in Section 2.6), obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, causes of action, suits, claims, tax liabilities, broker’s or finders fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against that Indemnitee, based upon any third party claims against such Indemnitees in any manner related to or arising out of (A) any breach by Borrower or Carveout Guarantor of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents or certificates provided pursuant to the Loan Documents, (B) the actual or threatened presence, release, disposal, spill, escape, leakage, transportation, migration, seepage, discharge, removal, or cleanup of any Hazardous Material located on, about, within, under, affecting, from or onto the Mortgaged Property or any violation of any applicable Environmental Law by Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, or (C) the use or intended use of the proceeds of any of the Loan (the foregoing liabilities herein collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee hereunder with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee as determined in a final order by a court of competent jurisdiction. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under clause (B) of this Section 11.3 with respect to Hazardous Materials first introduced to the Land and Improvements after either (1) the foreclosure of the Mortgage or (2) the delivery by Borrower to, and acceptance by, Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Mortgaged Property. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and

 

-97-


satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender’s notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower’s expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnitee shall, following notice to and consultation with Borrower, have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower’s expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnitee and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnitee for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

11.4 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, no amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, or consent to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender (and, with respect to any amendment or modification, unless also signed by Borrower). Each amendment, modification, termination or waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower, or any other Person to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. 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 or members and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Mortgaged Property, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any 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 Mortgaged Property for the collection of the obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the obligations owing Lender on account of the Loan Documents out of the net proceeds of the Mortgaged Property 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 any of any portion of the Mortgaged Property or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any portion of the Mortgaged Property or any combination of the Mortgaged Property before proceeding against any other portion; and further in the event of such foreclosure, Borrower expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. 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. No failure or delay on the part of Lender or any holder of any Note in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are cumulative to, and not exclusive of,

 

-98-


any rights or remedies otherwise available. Lender shall not be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Person makes a payment or payments to Lender, or Lender enforces its remedies or exercise its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/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 recovery, the Obligations or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, if any, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on Loan contemplated herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

11.5 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication required or permitted to be given shall be in writing addressed to the respective party as set forth below and may be personally served, telecopied (with request for confirmation) or sent by overnight courier service or United States registered mail return receipt requested, postage prepaid. Any notice so given shall be deemed effective upon delivery or on refusal or failure of delivery during normal business hours.

11.7 Miscellaneous. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect. All covenants and agreements hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within

 

-100-


the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in any jurisdiction of any provision in or obligation under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents shall not affect or impair the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations under this Agreement, the Note or other Loan Documents or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender and, solely to the extent set forth in Section 11.12, Carveout Guarantor, and no other Person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder. This Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto. Borrower and Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Borrower and Lender. If any term, condition or provision of this Agreement shall be inconsistent with any term, condition or provision of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall control. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of a counterpart hereof by each of the parties hereto. Upon indefeasible payment and performance in full of the Borrower’s Obligations, the Lender shall, at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower, release the Mortgage and the other Liens securing the Borrower’s Obligations.

11.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns except that Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents without the written consent of Lender. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to the Loan Documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of the Loan Documents.

11.10 Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. BORROWER HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED WITHIN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO LENDER’S ELECTION, ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE LITIGATED IN

 

-101-

BORROWER ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS MORTGAGED PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTE, SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR SUCH OBLIGATION.

11.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS LOAN TRANSACTION AND LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED. BORROWER AND LENDER ALSO WAIVE ANY BOND OR SURETY OR SECURITY UPON SUCH BOND WHICH MIGHT, BUT FOR THIS WAIVER, BE REQUIRED OF BORROWER OR LENDER. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. BORROWER AND LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. BORROWER AND LENDER FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE LOAN. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

11.12 Publicity. Lender (and Lender’s Affiliates) may and Borrower does hereby authorize Lender (and its Affiliates) to, refer, in its sole discretion, to the Loan from time to time, in tombstone and other advertisements, offering memoranda in connection with Securitizations, press releases and other releases of information to members of the public, reports to investors and in other media, which references, may include a description of the Loan (including the stated principal amount) and use of Borrower’s name and the logo of Borrower, Carveout Guarantor, Borrower Representative and/or their Affiliates and which references may be reproduced and distributed, electronically or otherwise, from time to time. Lender hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrower, any written information (or oral information to the extent it is described as confidential at the time of disclosure) relating to Borrower which is provided to

 

-102-


Lender in connection with the making of the Loan which is either confidential, proprietary, or otherwise not generally available to the public (but excluding information Lender has obtained independently from third-party sources without Lender’s knowledge that the source has violated any fiduciary or other duty not to disclose such information) and which has been expressly designated as such by notice to Lender from Borrower (the “Confidential Information”), will be kept confidential by Lender, using the same standard of care in safeguarding the Confidential Information as Lender employs in protecting its own proprietary information which Lender desires not to disseminate or publish. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disseminated (a) pursuant to the requirements of applicable law, (b) pursuant to judicial process, administrative agency process or order of Governmental Authority, (c) in connection with litigation, arbitration proceedings or administrative proceedings before or by any Governmental Authority or stock exchange, (d) to Lender’s attorneys, accountants, advisors and actual or prospective financing sources who will be instructed to comply with this Section 11.12, (e) to the Rating Agencies, who will be requested to comply with this Section 11.12, (f) to actual or prospective trustees, assignees, pledgees, participants, agents, Servicers, or securities holders in a Securitization, who shall be instructed to comply with this Section 11.12, and (g) pursuant to the requirements or rules of a stock exchange or stock trading system on which the Securities of Lender or its Affiliates may be listed or traded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in each of the cases set forth in Sections 11.12(a) through (g) above, Lender shall endeavor to use its best efforts to notify all parties of the confidential nature of the information and instruct such parties to maintain the confidentiality of such information. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision, any party (and its employee, representative or other agent) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to such party relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Carveout Guarantor and Borrower Representative are third party beneficiaries of Lender’s agreement with respect to Confidential Information set forth in this Section. For purposes of this Section 11.12, Confidential Information will not be deemed to include the Loan amount and the other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents (except that all exhibits shall be deemed Confidential Information), the name of Borrower, Carveout Guarantor and Borrower Representative, the logo of Borrower, Carveout Guarantor, Borrower Representative and/or their Affiliates. Borrower, Carveout Guarantor and Borrower Representative hereby grant Lender a non-exclusive license to use Borrower’s, Carveout Guarantor’s and Borrower Representative’s logo solely for the purpose specified in this Section 11.12. Borrower agrees that Lender’s (and Lender’s Affiliates’) use, reproduction and dissemination of Borrower’s name and logo in connection with disclosures required by the Loan Documents shall not cause any copyright infringements.

 

11.13 Borrower Recourse Liability.

(A) Except as provided in the Environmental Indemnity Agreement and the Carveout Guaranty, Borrower shall not have any personal recourse liability for Obligations incurred under this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents and no deficiency judgment therefore shall be enforced against the personal assets of Borrower other than the Mortgaged Property, the other Collateral and the proceeds of the Mortgaged Property and other Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a judgment may be sought, obtained, entered and enforced against Borrower to the extent necessary to preserve or enforce the rights and remedies of Lender

in, to or against the collateral and security provided under the Loan Documents, and nothing contained in this Section 11.13 shall be construed to limit, prejudice or impair the rights of Lender to enforce its rights and remedies against any real and personal property mortgaged, pledged, encumbered, assigned or granted to secure payment or performance under this Agreement, the Note and/or the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or elsewhere, the foregoing limitation on personal liability shall be null, void and of no force and effect, and Borrower shall be personally liable for payment and performance of the Obligations in the event of the occurrence of any of the following: (a) Borrower or Borrower Representative shall file or institute any petition, case or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code; (b) Carveout Guarantor, Borrower Representative or any Affiliate of Borrower shall file or initiate any involuntary petition, case or proceeding against Borrower or Borrower Representative under the Bankruptcy Code; (c) Borrower, Carveout Guarantor, Borrower Representative or any Affiliate of Borrower shall arrange, solicit, induce, finance or collude with others in the filing of any involuntary petition, case or proceeding against Borrower or Borrower Representative under the Bankruptcy Code; (d) an involuntary petition, case or proceeding is filed against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code and Borrower fails to file a motion to dismiss (together with any ancillary filings or briefs customarily filed therewith) such proceeding within ninety (90) days after the commencement of the proceeding; or (e) the occurrence of any Default with respect to Section 7.12.

(B) Nothing in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be construed or deemed to release any Person from liability arising out of such Person’s fraud or to limit the rights and remedies of Lender, either at law or in equity, for (1) injunctive or declaratory relief, (2) rights to recover on account of fraudulent conveyances, fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other laws which would operate to protect Lender against Borrower’s or any other Person’s dissipation of assets to avoid obligations under the Loan Documents (whether under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable laws), (3) rights to seek penalties or sanctions under applicable judicial rules and statutes governing the conduct of litigation, and (4) rights and remedies for criminal conduct in relation to Lender, the Loan or the security for the Loan.

11.14 Performance by Lender/Attorney-in-Fact. In the event that Borrower shall at any time fail to duly and punctually pay, perform, observe or comply with any of its covenants and agreements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or if any Event of Default hereunder shall exist, then Lender may (but shall in no event be required to) make any such payment or

 

-105-


perform any such term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement or cure any such Event of Default. Lender shall not take action under this Section 11.14 prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default unless in Lender’s good faith judgment reasonably exercised, such action is necessary or appropriate in order to preserve the value of the Collateral, to protect Persons or property, or Borrower has abandoned the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Lender shall not be obligated to continue any such action having commenced the same and may cease the same without notice to Borrower. Any amounts expended by Lender in connection with such action shall constitute additional advances hereunder, the payment of which is additional Indebtedness, secured by the Loan Documents and shall become due and payable upon demand by Lender, with interest at the Default Rate from the date of disbursement thereof until fully paid. No further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for such disbursements. The execution of this Agreement by Borrower shall and hereby does constitute an irrevocable direction and authorization to Lender to so disburse such funds. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender, as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full authority in the place and stead of Borrower and in the name of Borrower or otherwise (A) during the existence of an Event of Default in the discretion of Lender, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Lender may deem necessary to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including the following: (i) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give acquittance and receipts for monies due and to become due under or in respect of the Accounts and/or any of the Loan Account Collateral; (ii) to receive, endorse, and collect (A) any Gross Revenues, (B) any instruments made payable to Borrower representing any dividend, payment of principal, interest, redemption price, purchase price or other distribution or payment in respect of any Loan Account Collateral, or (C) any other instruments, documents and chattel paper received in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (iii) to file any claims, or take any action or institute any proceedings which Lender shall deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any Gross Revenues in the event that Borrower shall fail to do so, or otherwise to enforce the rights of Lender with respect to this Agreement; (B) to execute and/or file, without the signature of Borrower, any Financing Statements, continuation statements, or other filing, and any amendment thereof, relating to the Loan Account Collateral; (C) to give notice to any third parties which may be required to perfect Lender’s security interest in the Loan Account Collateral; and (D) during the existence of an Event of Default, to register, purchase, sell, assign, transfer, pledge or take any other action with respect to any Loan Account Collateral in accordance with this Agreement or any Loan Document. Lender shall notify Borrower of Lender’s taking of any action as attorney-in-fact, or otherwise in Borrower’s name, pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

11.15 Brokerage Claims. Borrower shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee against Lender or any Person, in connection with the transaction herein contemplated, provided such claim is made by or arises through or under Borrower or is based in whole or in part upon alleged acts or omissions of Borrower. Lender shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Borrower harmless from and against all loss, cost, liability and expense incurred as a result of any claim for a broker’s or finder’s fee against Borrower or any other Person in connection with the transaction herein contemplated other than Broker, provided such claim is made by or arises through or under Lender or is based in whole or in part upon alleged acts or omissions of Lender.

SECTION 12

ADDITIONAL MASTER LEASE PROVISIONS

12.1 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Master Lessee. Master Lessee is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified to do business in the State where the Mortgaged Property is located. Master Lessee has full power and authority to enter into and carry out the terms of the Master Lease. Master Lessee is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. A true and complete copy of all organizational documents creating or governing Master Lessee has been delivered to Lender.

12.2 Satisfaction of Borrower Obligations by Master Lessee. Except for transfers which are expressly pre-approved under the terms of the Master Lease and are not subject to Borrower’s consent, as Master Lessor, the Master Lessee shall not transfer, assign or pledge the Master Lease without Lender’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditions or delayed). In addition, any and all of the covenants set forth in the Loan Documents may be satisfied by either Master Lessee or Borrower; provided, however, that if such covenant is one that can be complied with by both Master Lessee and Borrower then either Master Lessee or Borrower shall be permitted to satisfy any such covenant. Further, any factual representations made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be deemed correct if such representation would be correct if made by Master Lessee but only to the extent consistent with the transactions contemplated in this Loan Agreement. A Default or Event of Default caused by the Master Lessee shall constitute a Default or Event of Default by Borrower.

12.3 Subordination of Master Lease.

(A) The Master Lease and all right, title and interest of Master Lessee thereunder and in and to the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof, if any, are and shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of the Mortgage, including, without limitation, any and all fees and reimbursable expenses and other sums payable to Master Lessee under the Master Lease. Master Lessee hereby acknowledges that all provisions of the Master Lease relating to the application of insurance proceeds and condemnation awards are subject to and junior and inferior to the terms

 

-107-


and provisions of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and the terms and provisions of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents shall govern and control in the event of any conflict.

(B) Master Lessee agrees that, upon a foreclosure of the Mortgage, provided that the Master Lease has not expired or otherwise been earlier terminated in accordance with its terms for reasons other than such foreclosure, Master Lessee shall attorn to any Subsequent Owner and shall remain bound by all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Master Lease, for the balance of the remaining term thereof (and any renewals thereof which may be effected in accordance with the Master Lease) with the same force and effect as if such Subsequent Owner were the landlord under the Master Lease and without the payment by such Subsequent Owner of any fees arising from such succession to the interests of such landlord. Such attornment shall be effective and self-operative as an agreement between Master Lessee and Subsequent Owner without the execution of any further instruments on the part of any party; provided, however, that at Lender’s request, Master Lessee shall execute a commercially reasonable instrument confirming such attornment. If any Subsequent Owner shall elect, for any reason whatsoever, to succeed to the interest of Borrower under the Master Lease, without terminating the Master Lease, such Subsequent Owner shall not be (i) liable for any act or omission of any prior landlord (including Borrower), (ii) subject to any offsets or defenses which Master Lessee might have against any prior landlord (including Borrower), (iii) liable for or bound by any fees, commissions, rent, security deposit, additional rent or other sums or deposits which Master Lessee might have paid to any prior landlord (including Borrower) unless actually received by Subsequent Owner, or (iv) bound by any amendment or modification of the Master Lease made without the Lender’s or such Subsequent Owner’s express written consent if required hereunder.

(C) Upon a foreclosure of the Mortgage, notwithstanding the rights of Subsequent Owner under (B) above, unless Subsequent Owner, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects otherwise, such foreclosure of the Mortgage shall terminate the Master Lease, without payment of any termination fees, liquidated damages or other fees and charges under the Master Lease. Master Lessee expressly agrees that it shall not, in any event, cause or permit any lien, claim of lien, encumbrance or other charge to be placed or asserted against the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof. Upon any such termination of the Master Lease by Lender or other Subsequent Owner, Master Lessee shall promptly remit and deliver to Lender or other Subsequent Owner an accounting of, all property, leases, rents, contracts and collateral then held by or under the control of Master Lessee (collectively, “Master Lessee’s Property”). Upon any such termination, Master Lessee shall afford to Lender or other Subsequent Owner all rights and benefits provided to Master Lessor under the Master Lease, including, without limitation, cooperating and assisting Lender or Subsequent Owner to effect a smooth transition of ownership, assigning to Lender or such Subsequent Owner all operating licenses and permits for the IBX Centers then issued in Master Lessee’s name as landlord of such IBX Centers (to the extent assignable) and delivering to Lender (or its designee) or such Subsequent Owner, all keys, locks and safe combinations, ledgers, bank statements for the Mortgaged Property accounts, books and records, insurance policies, and other documents and agreements required for the ownership of the Mortgaged Property as maintained by Master Lessee. If such assignment of licenses and permits is not permitted by the Legal Requirements, Master Lessee shall cooperate with, and provide reasonable assistance to, Lender or such Subsequent Owner in its efforts to obtain such licenses and permits for the normal use and operation of the Mortgaged Property.

 

-108-


Upon the written request of Lender or other Subsequent Owner, Master Lessee shall periodically execute and deliver a statement, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Lender or such Subsequent Owner, reaffirming Master Lessee’s obligation to attorn as set forth in this Section 12.

12.4 Master Lease Guaranty. As additional security for the Loan, Carveout Guarantor will enter into a guaranty of the Master Lease (the “Master Lease Guaranty”) on terms and conditions acceptable to Lender.

12.5 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Carveout Guarantor with respect to the Master Lease. Carveout Guarantor is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and is qualified to do business in the State where the Mortgaged Property is located. Carveout Guarantor has full power and authority to enter into and carry out the terms of the Master Lease Guaranty. Carveout Guarantor is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. A true and complete copy of all organizational documents creating or governing Carveout Guarantor has been delivered to Lender. Carveout Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Master Lease Guaranty shall be assigned to Lender in connection with the Loan.

SECTION 13

SUBDIVISION AND PARTIAL RELEASE

13.1 Conditions to Subdivision and Partial Release. Borrower shall be permitted to subdivide the Land into two separate legal parcels (the “Subdivision”) and create reciprocal easements subject to Lender’s reasonable consent, and upon said Subdivision, be entitled to a partial release (the “Partial Release”) of that certain portion of the Mortgaged Property shown on Exhibit F (the “Release Property”) resulting from the Subdivision, subject to the satisfaction of following conditions precedent in a manner satisfactory to the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Subdivision and Partial Release Requirements”):

(A) Lender reasonably approves of all subdivision documents, including, without limitation, any plats or plans relating thereto and any documents establishing cross-easements or restrictive covenants, including, without limitation, Lender’s receipt and approval of all easements necessary to allow each of the subdivided parcels access and cost sharing and use of shared facilities;

(G) No event, circumstances or state of facts shall have occurred or exist, or will be likely to occur or exist after the release of the Release Property, resulting in a Material Adverse Effect;

(H) The Transfer and release of the Release Property from the lien of the Mortgage will not violate, and the Remaining Mortgaged Property after the release will not be in violation of, any Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, zoning and subdivision laws and Borrower shall provide Lender with evidence of compliance of each of the subdivided parcels with such Legal Requirements;

(I) The Release Property will constitute one or more tax lots separate and distinct from the tax lot or lots applicable to the Remaining Mortgaged Property encumbered by the lien of the Mortgage, and shall constitute a separate subdivided parcel;

(J) The Lender shall have received an updated Survey reflecting the Subdivision and the Partial Release in form and substance satisfactory to Lender;

(K) At Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the Title Company issues to Lender an updated title insurance policy or date-down endorsement to the Title Policy, in form and substance acceptable to the Lender, (i) insuring Lender’s first priority lien on the Mortgaged Property is not impaired by the Subdivision or Partial Release, (ii) reflecting the Partial Release, and (iii) disclosing no additional exceptions or encumbrances affecting the Mortgaged Property except for the Permitted Exceptions, and updates to existing endorsements of the Title Policy, if applicable, or new endorsements as Lender may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a subdivision endorsement in form and substance acceptable to Lender;

(L) All necessary easements and shared facility agreements reasonably required by Lender with respect to the Remaining Mortgaged Property are in place;

(M) Borrower, Borrower Representative and/or Carveout Guarantor shall execute and deliver such documentation in connection with the Subdivision and the Partial Release as Lender may reasonably request to effectuate the Subdivision and/or the Partial Release, including, without limitation, such modifications to the Loan Documents as Lender, its counsel or title agent may request, and updated legal opinions (such opinions shall be in form, scope and substance satisfactory to the Lender and the Lender’s counsel in their reasonable discretion);

(P) The Release Property may be Transferred to an Affiliate of Borrower subject to the additional condition that the Release Property shall not at any time thereafter during the term of the Loan, while under the ownership of an Affiliate of Borrower, be used in a manner which could result in a Material Adverse Effect, including without limitation, diminishing the value of the Remaining Mortgaged Property in any way, or directly or indirectly compete with the IBX Center located on the Remaining Mortgaged Property (the breach of such additional condition shall result in an Event of Default hereunder in the event such breach is not cured within the notice and cure periods set forth in Section 9.1(D) hereof).

13.2 Partial Release. Upon satisfaction of the Subdivision and Partial Release Requirements, the Lender shall release the Lien of the Mortgage with respect to the Release Property and deliver to the Borrower a duly executed release or reconveyance in recordable form, a UCC-3 release of security interest and other such documents as may be reasonably required to release the Release Property from the Lien of the Mortgage.

EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY PERMITTED IN THIS NOTE OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY (i) WAIVES ANY RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE UNDER LAW TO PREPAY THIS NOTE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, WITHOUT PENALTY, UPON ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE, AND (ii) AGREES THAT IF, FOR ANY REASON, A PREPAYMENT OF ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS NOTE IS MADE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, UPON OR FOLLOWING ANY ACCELERATION OF THE MATURITY DATE BY HOLDER ON ACCOUNT OF ANY DEFAULT BY BORROWER,

On behalf of the Borrower

The remedies of Holder, as provided in this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. In any action, sale of collateral, or other proceedings to enforce this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, Holder need not file or produce the original of this Note, but only need file or produce a photocopy of this Note certified by Holder to be a true and correct copy of this Note.

In the event of any dispute, action or lawsuit regarding the terms hereof, subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, the prevailing party will have the right to recover from the other party all court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred with respect thereto, in addition to all other applicable damages and costs.

BORROWER AND ANY GUARANTOR OF THIS NOTE WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DILIGENCE, PRESENTMENT FOR PAYMENT, DEMAND, NOTICE OF DEMAND, NOTICE OF PROTEST, NOTICE OF NONPAYMENT OR DISHONOR, NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ACCELERATE, NOTICE OF ACCELERATION, PROTEST AND NOTICE OF PROTEST OF THIS NOTE, AND ALL OTHER NOTICES (OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS) IN CONNECTION WITH THE DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE, PERFORMANCE, DEFAULT OR ENFORCEMENT OF THE PAYMENT OF THIS NOTE.

Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. The acceptance by Holder of any payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing options at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express consent of Holder, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. A waiver with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.

PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BORROWER AND ANY GUARANTOR OF THIS NOTE AGREE THAT THIS NOTE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the words “Holder” and “Borrower” shall be deemed to include their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns.

All notices which Holder or Borrower may be required or permitted to give hereunder shall be made in the same manner as set forth in Section 11.5 of the Loan Agreement.

In the event any one or more of the provisions hereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining provisions hereof shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

Borrower acknowledges that Holder may, in its sole discretion, sell all or any part of its interest in the Loan evidenced by this Note, including, without limitation, for purposes of effecting a Securitization.

On behalf of the Borrower

The remedies of Holder, as provided in this Note, the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued singularly, successively or together, at the sole discretion of Holder, and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur; and the failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof. In any action, sale of collateral, or other proceedings to enforce this Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, Holder need not file or produce the original of this Note, but only need file or produce a photocopy of this Note certified by Holder to be a true and correct copy of this Note.

Holder shall not be deemed, by any act of omission or commission, to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Holder, and then only to the extent specifically set forth in the writing. The acceptance by Holder of any payment hereunder which is less than payment in full of all amounts due and payable at the time of such payment shall not constitute a waiver of the right to exercise any of the foregoing options at that time or at any subsequent time or nullify any prior exercise of any such option without the express consent of Holder, except as and to the extent otherwise provided by law. A waiver with reference to one event shall not be construed as continuing or as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy as to a subsequent event.

In the event any one or more of the provisions hereof shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity of the remaining provisions hereof shall be in no way affected, prejudiced or disturbed thereby.

Borrower acknowledges that Holder may, in its sole discretion, sell all or any part of its interest in the Loan evidenced by this Note, including, without limitation, for purposes of effecting a Securitization.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Note or any other Loan Documents, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Holder’s rights hereunder shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall


continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Loan which thereafter shall be required to be restored by Holder pursuant to a court order or judgment (whether or not final or non-appealable), as though such amount had not been paid.
