The remainder of such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal.

          2.2.2 Default Rate. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
          2.2.3 Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law): (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including permitted prepayments, of the Loan shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, to any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents, including the Yield Maintenance Premium (if such repayment or prepayment occurs prior to the Stated Maturity Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Yield Maintenance Premium shall not be due in connection with a prepayment of the Loan on or after the Open Prepayment Date.

11


 

party costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be made on a Payment Date and shall be applied in the same manner as permitted repayments under Section 2.3.1. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.
          2.3.3 Voluntary Defeasance of the Note.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.3.3, Borrower may defease the entire amount of the Principal and obtain the release of the entirety of the Property (a “Full Defeasance”) or defease a portion of the Principal and obtain a release of the Converting Property and/or the Spinners Properties (a “Partial Defeasance”) (any such Full Defeasance or Partial Defeasance, a “Defeasance”); provided, that no Defeasance may occur (i) prior to the Start-up Date, (ii) if an Event of Default shall have occurred (unless such Event of Default will be cured by the Defeasance) and (iii) on any date other than a Payment Date. Each Defeasance shall be subject, in each case, to the satisfaction of all of the following conditions precedent:
               (1) Borrower will give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice specifying a Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which a Defeasance Deposit (hereinafter defined) is to be made.
               (2) Payment to Lender of all accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid Principal of the Note to and including the Defeasance Date and the scheduled amortization payment due on such Defeasance Date.
               (3) Payment to Lender of all other sums, not including scheduled interest or Principal payments, then due and payable under the Note and the other Loan Documents.
               (4) Payment to Lender of an amount equal to the sum of (x) an amount sufficient to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments that will meet the Scheduled Defeasance Payments, (y) reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred or to be incurred in the purchase of the U.S. Obligations and (z) any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the Defeasance (the “Defeasance Deposit”).
               (5) Payment to Lender of all reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such Defeasance, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.
               (6) In the case of a Partial Defeasance, the execution and delivery by Borrower of all necessary documents to amend and restate the Note and issue two substitute notes, one having a principal balance equal to the defeased portion of the original Note (the “Defeased Note”) and the other having a principal balance equal to the undefeased portion of the original Note (the “Undefeased Note”). The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall have terms identical to the terms of the Note, except for the principal balance and a pro rata allocation of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. (After a Partial Defeasance, all references hereunder and in the other Loan Documents to the term “Note” shall mean and be deemed to refer to the Undefeased Note, unless expressly provided to the contrary.) A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further Defeasance.

12


 

               (7) Delivery to Lender of: (A) a security agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, creating and granting to Lender a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations (hereinafter defined) purchased on behalf of Borrower with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with this provision of this paragraph (the “Security Agreement”); (B) an Officer’s Certificate of Borrower certifying that the requirements set forth in Section 2.3.3(a) have been satisfied; (C) an opinion of counsel for Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender stating, among other things, that Lender has a perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased by Lender on behalf of Borrower, that the Security Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principals of equity) and that the Defeasance will not adversely affect the status of any REMIC Trust formed in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction; (D) a certificate of an accounting firm acceptable to Lender which certifies that the U.S. Obligations are sufficient to make the Scheduled Defeasance Payments; (E) a Rating Comfort Letter from each applicable Rating Agency with respect to such Defeasance; and (F) such other certificates, documents or instruments as Lender may reasonably request.
In connection with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3.3(a), Borrower hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose of using the Defeasance Deposit to purchase U.S. Obligations which provide payments (A) on or prior to, but as close as possible to, all successive Payment Dates after the date of calculation through the Stated Maturity Date and (B) in amounts sufficient to pay, (x) in the case of a Full Defeasance, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount required under the Note (or Undefeased Note, as the case may be) together with the unpaid Principal of the Note (or Undefeased Note, as the case may be) payable on the Stated Maturity Date and (y) in the case of a Partial Defeasance, the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount multiplied by the Defeasance Percentage together with the unpaid Principal of the Defeased Note payable on the Stated Maturity Date (such payments, the “Scheduled Defeasance Payments”). Borrower, pursuant to the Security Agreement or other appropriate document, shall authorize and direct that the payments received from the U.S. Obligations may be made directly to Lender and applied to satisfy the obligations of Borrower under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable. Any amounts received in respect of the U.S. Obligations in excess of the amounts necessary to make monthly payments hereunder shall be retained by Lender until payment in full of the Debt and then promptly paid and set over to Borrower. Semi-annual payments in respect of the U.S. Obligations shall be applied to the payments under the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, as the same become due thereunder.
          (b) In connection with a Partial Defeasance or a Full Defeasance, Borrower shall establish or designate a successor entity, which successor entity shall be acceptable to Lender (the “Successor Borrower”) and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to the Successor Borrower. The obligation of Lender to establish or designate a Successor Borrower shall be retained by IXIS Real Estate Capital Inc. (but may be assigned to an

13


 

Affiliate) notwithstanding the sale, assignment or transfer of this Agreement unless such obligation is specifically assumed by the transferee. The Successor Borrower shall assume all obligations under the Loan Documents and the Security Agreement in the case of a Full Defeasance, and as a co-obligor with Borrower in the case of a Partial Defeasance. Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under the Loan Documents and the Security Agreement only in connection with a Full Defeasance. Borrower shall pay a $1,000 fee to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming such obligations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note or the Defeased Note, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 2.3.3, but Borrower shall pay all reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and ongoing fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 2.3.3.
          2.3.4 Permitted Prepayment. On the Open Prepayment Date or at any time thereafter prior to the Stated Maturity Date, Borrower shall have the right to pay the entire Debt upon ten (10) Business Days notice to Lender, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and without effecting a Defeasance. If any such payment of the Debt pursuant to the preceding sentence is made on any date other than the Open Prepayment Date or any Payment Date thereafter prior to the Stated Maturity Date, such payment shall be accompanied by a payment in an amount equal to interest on the unpaid Principal through the end of the Interest Period during which such payment is made.
     2.4 Release of Property. Except as set forth in this Section 2.4, no repayment, prepayment or Defeasance shall cause, give rise to a right to require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Mortgage.
          2.4.1 Release on Defeasance. If Borrower has elected a Full Defeasance, and the requirements of Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage, and the U.S. Obligations pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Debt. In connection with such release, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Defeasance Date, a form of release for execution by Lender appropriate in the State and reasonably satisfactory to Lender, and all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in material compliance with all Legal Requirements and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
          2.4.2 Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever) the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released.

               (ii) Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal being defeased pursuant to clause (B) of this subsection (ii) (including, if such payment is not made on a Payment Date, interest through the end of the current Interest Period), and (B) an amount equal to the Release Amount, which shall be applied to defease the outstanding Principal.
               (iii) both immediately before such sale and immediately thereafter, no Event of Default shall be continuing;

               (xi) There exists at the time of the sale and release of any Property pursuant to this Section 2.4.3 no default or event of default under the T-Mobile Lease.

Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs.

Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.
3. CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES
     3.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by non-residential tenants or Managers of the Property into a trust account (the “Clearing Account”) maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within one Business Day of receipt. During a Cash Management Period, funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement. During a period other than a Cash Management Period, funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank into an operating account set up by Borrower as and when determined by Borrower. Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments.

16


 

Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as “Subaccounts”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at all times other than during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, Lender may, in its discretion, elect to maintain the deposits and reserves required under this Agreement in an Eligible Account at a bank or other depository selected by Lender other than the Deposit Bank in which case, all references to the Deposit Account and any Subaccounts hereunder shall be deemed to include such Eligible Account and the subaccounts of any such Eligible Account and all funds in such Eligible Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments. The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
     3.2 Required Repairs.
          3.2.1 Completion of Required Repairs. Borrower shall perform and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial work at the Property described on Schedule 2 (the “Required Repairs”) within twelve (12) months of the date hereof or such shorter period of time for such item set forth on Schedule 2.
          3.2.2 Required Repairs Reserves. On the date hereof, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the aggregate amount set forth on Schedule 2 as being required to complete the Required Repairs and Lender shall cause such amount to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Required Repairs Subaccount”). Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Required Repairs Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $5,000), accompanied by the following items (which items shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender): (i) an Officer’s Certificate (A) certifying that the Required Repairs or any portion thereof which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with such Required Repairs or any portion thereof in any material respect and (C) stating that each such Person has been or, upon receipt of the requested disbursement, will be paid in full with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; (ii) copies of appropriate Lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender; (iii) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that it is free from all Liens not previously approved by Lender; (iv) a copy of each License required to be obtained with respect to the portion of the Required Repairs which is the subject of the requested disbursement; and (v) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs which are the subject of the requested disbursement have been completed and paid for.

Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (i) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (ii) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon

17


 

the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies. Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance Subaccount”). Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums due, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment and an Officer’s Certificate in form and substance satisfactory to Lender; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2. In making any payment relating to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If Lender determines in its reasonable judgment that the funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount will be insufficient to pay (or in excess of) the Taxes or Insurance Premiums next coming due, Lender may increase (or decrease) the monthly contribution required to be made by Borrower to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount.
     Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, so long as no Event of Default under this Agreement or any other Loan Document has occurred, Borrower shall not be required to make monthly payments of Taxes or Insurance Premiums to Lender as provided in this Section 3.3, provided Borrower shall pay, or shall cause the tenant of any Property to pay, all Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 below and all Insurance Premiums in accordance with Section 7.1 below, and shall deliver to Lender written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of the full payment of such Taxes and Insurance Premiums within the time periods and otherwise as provided in Sections 5.2 and 7.1. The failure of Borrower to deliver to Lender such written evidence of payment shall at the option of Lender be an Event of Default hereunder.

All of the representations and warranties in this Article 4 and elsewhere in the Loan Documents (i) shall survive for so long as any portion of the Debt remains owing to Lender and (ii) shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf, provided, however, that the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.19 shall survive so long as the Debt or any portion thereof is outstanding and unpaid.

Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien against the Property, and shall promptly pay or cause the tenants under the Property Leases to pay for all utility services provided to the Property.

Neither Borrower nor any tenant shall perform any Material Alteration without Lender’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withhold consent to any alteration the cost of which is reasonably estimated to exceed $1,000,000 or which is likely to result in a decrease of Net Operating Income by two and one-half percent (2.5%) or more for a period of thirty (30) days or longer. Lender may, as a condition to giving its consent to a Material Alteration, require that Borrower deliver to Lender security for payment of the cost of such Material Alteration in an amount equal to one hundred twenty-five percent (125%) of the cost of the Material Alteration as estimated by Lender.

Nothing herein shall prevent Borrower from recovering such expenses from any other party that may be liable for such removal or cure. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.7.1, Borrower has informed Lender that the tenants under the Property Leases utilize in connection with their respective business operations at the Property commercial products generally available to the public or routinely used in such businesses which contain varying degrees of Hazardous Substances that are permitted by applicable Environmental laws.

          (b) Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time, but so long as no Default or Event of Default exists only if Lender, in its good faith judgment determines that reasonable cause exists for the performance of an environmental inspection or audit of the Property, Borrower shall provide an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified environmental consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property. The cost and expense of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrower, and copies of the reports relating to such inspection sand audits shall be furnished to both Borrower and Lender. Such inspections and audit may include, soil bearings and ground water monitoring. If Borrower fails to provide any such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit.
          (c) If any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Substance, whether such Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by Borrower, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at its expense upon request of Lender.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time period: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within such time period would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work. Borrower shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower fails to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if Borrower fails to prevail in contest, Borrower would thereafter have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal liability, and neither the Property nor any interest therein would

          (x) Buyer has furnished to Lender all appropriate documents and instruments evidencing Buyer’s capacity and good standing, and the authority of the signers to execute the assumption of the Loan and the Loan Documents, which documents and instruments shall include certified copies of all documents and instruments relating to the organization and formation of Buyer and of the entities, if any, which are direct or indirect members, partners or shareholders of Buyer, all of which shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender;
          (xi) Buyer shall assume the obligations of Borrower under any management agreements pertaining to the Property, or shall cause any new manager and management agreement to satisfy the requirements of Section 5.11 hereof, as applicable;
          (xii) Buyer shall furnish an opinion of counsel satisfactory to Lender that the acquisition of the Property and the assumption of the Loan and the Loan Documents by Buyer and, to the extent applicable, Successor Guarantor, was validly authorized, and duly executed and delivered, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer and Successor Guarantor, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and with respect to such other matters as Lender may reasonably require; and

     (c) Further notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 5.16, the definition of Permitted Transfer in Section 1.1.2, or anything inconsistent or to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the transfer of any direct or indirect ownership interests in Guarantor (traded on the public markets or otherwise) that results in the transferee (together with its Affiliates) holding an indirect interest in Borrower or in Borrower Representative in an amount which exceeds 49% and occurs substantially contemporaneously with (i) the transfer of a majority of shares held by the then current officers and directors of Guarantor, and (ii) a change in a majority of the directors of Guarantor, shall be subject to the prior written consent of Lender in its sole discretion. Borrower shall give Lender written notice not less than sixty (60) days before the date on which such transfer is scheduled to close, accompanied by all information relating to the transfer and the transferee as Lender would reasonably require in evaluating an initial extension of credit to a borrower (it being acknowledged that Lender may, as a condition to its approval, require a Rating Comfort Letter from each of the Rating Agencies). If such transfer is disapproved by Lender prior to the Start-up Date, Borrower shall have the right to prepay the entire outstanding balance of the Loan in full together with a Yield Maintenance Premium.

Any reasonable third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses due and payable to Lender hereunder which are not paid by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after demand may be paid from any amounts in the Deposit Account, with notice thereof to Borrower. The obligations and liabilities of Borrower under this Section 5.17 shall survive the Term and the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, including the acquisition of the Property by foreclosure or a conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.
     5.18 Indemnity. Borrower shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and each of its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, including the directors, officers, partners, members, shareholders, participants, employees, professionals and agents of any of the foregoing (including any Servicer) and each other Person, if any, who Controls Lender, its Affiliates or any of the foregoing (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for an Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto, court costs and costs of appeal at all appellate levels, investigation and laboratory fees, consultant fees and litigation expenses), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”) in any manner, relating to or arising out of or by reason of the Loan, including: (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any misrepresentation contained in, any Loan Document; (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan; (iii) any information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by Borrower; (iv) ownership of the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, or the Property or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or

The aforementioned consultation rights are intended to satisfy the requirement of management rights for purposes of the U.S. Department of Labor “plan assets” regulation, 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101.
     5.22 Ground Lease. Borrower shall or shall cause the T-Mobile Borrower to: (i) pay all rents and other sums required to be paid by the T-Mobile Borrower as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Ground Lease, the Indenture, the Direct Pay Agreement, and any other Bond Documents, as and when such rent or other sums are payable, (ii) diligently perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of the T-Mobile Borrower thereunder to be performed and observed, and (iii) promptly notify Lender of the giving of any notice pursuant to the Ground Lease, the Indenture, the Direct Pay Agreement, or any other Bond Document of any default by the T-Mobile Borrower or any other party with respect thereto. The T-Mobile Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or terminate or cancel the Ground Lease or modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, in any respect, either orally or in writing, and the T-Mobile Borrower hereby assigns to Lender, as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of the T-Mobile Borrower, as tenant under the Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend the Ground Lease, and any such surrender of the leasehold estate created by the Ground Lease or termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement, alteration or amendment of the Ground Lease without the prior written consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. If the T-Mobile Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of the Ground Lease on the part of the T-Mobile Borrower, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Lease on the part of tenant thereunder, to the end that the rights of the T-Mobile Borrower in, to and under the Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof be questioned or denied by the T-Mobile Borrower or any other Borrower or by any party on behalf of the T-Mobile Borrower or any other Borrower. If Lender shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding sentence, Lender will notify Borrower not less than five (5) days prior to the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the Leases, Lender and any person designated by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any time and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. Lender may pay and expend such sums of money as Lender reasonably deems necessary

43


 

for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under the Ground Lease. The T-Mobile Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender within five (5) Business Day of request therefor, all such sums so paid and expended by Lender, together with interest thereon from the date of such payment at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note). All sums so paid and expended by Lender and the interest thereon shall be secured by this Mortgage. If the landlord under the Ground Lease shall deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default sent by said landlord to Mortgagor, as tenant under the Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. Unless T-Mobile Borrower shall exercise its option to purchase the T-Mobile Property pursuant to the Ground Lease, T-Mobile Borrower shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Ground Lease upon demand by Lender made at any time within six (6) months of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and T-Mobile Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of T-Mobile Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. T-Mobile Borrower will not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s interest in all or any part of the T-Mobile Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of Lender shall have been first had and obtained.

          (d) Rental loss and/or business interruption insurance (i) with Lender being named as “Lender Loss Payee,” (ii) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Rents from the Property during the period of restoration; and (iii) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Property is damaged, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such insurance shall be increased from time to time during the Term as and when the estimated or actual Rents increase.
          (e) To the extent such equipment is located at the Property, comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to the lease on a replacement cost basis and in the minimum amount of $5,000,000.
          (f) Worker’s compensation insurance with respect to any employees of Borrower, as required by any Legal Requirement.
          (g) During any period of repair or restoration, builder’s “all-risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the Property, against such risks (including fire and extended coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits) as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, and coverage to compensate for the cost of demolition and the increased cost of construction in an amount satisfactory to Lender.
          (h) Such other insurance (including environmental liability insurance, earthquake insurance and windstorm insurance) as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests.

          7.1.2 Policies. All policies of insurance (the “Policies”) required pursuant to Section 7.1.1 shall (i) be issued by companies approved by Lender and licensed to do business in the State, with a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P (and the equivalent by any other Rating Agency) and a rating of A:VII or better in the current Best’s Insurance Report; (ii) name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear as the mortgagee (in the case of property and rent loss or business interruption insurance) or an additional insured (in the case of liability insurance); (iii) contain (in the case of property insurance) a Non-Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the Person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) contain provisions permitting Borrower to waive its right of subrogation against Lender; (v) be assigned and the originals thereof delivered to Lender; (vi) contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest, including (A) endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under the Policies, (B) that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies, (C) an agreement whereby the insurer waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured, and (D) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (vii) in the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (viii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay or cause the tenants under the Property Leases to pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums within five (5) Business Days of demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within thirty (30) days after its effective date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees that it is acceptable for the property insurance carrier insurer of the 255 Spring Street, Clintonville, Wisconsin portion of the Property to be rated BBB by S&P, A+XV by the current Best’s Insurance Reports and AA- by Fitch.
     7.2 Casualty.
          7.2.1 Notice; Restoration. If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, provided that with respect to an Insured Casualty the insurance proceeds are made available to Borrower as provided in Section 7.4 below, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property, and/or cause the tenants under the Property Leases to so proceed as provided in the Property Leases, in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.

49


 

          7.2.2 Settlement of Proceeds. If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $250,000, provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss equals or exceeds $250,000 (a “Significant Casualty”), Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender. The reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within thirty (30) days of written request therefor.
     7.3 Condemnation.
          7.3.1 Notice; Restoration. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property of which Borrower receives notice (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available (but provided that any Award paid to and held by Lender shall be made available to Borrower as provided herein), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property, and/or shall cause the tenants under any Property Leases to so proceed, in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.
          7.3.2 Collection of Award. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain any award or payment in respect of a Condemnation (an “Award”) and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation. Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided in the Note (or Undefeased Note, as the case may be). If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether

50


 

or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.
     7.4 Application of Proceeds or Award.
          7.4.1 Application to Restoration. If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) [intentionally deleted], (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within the earliest to occur of (x) twelve (12) months from the date of the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, (y) six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and (z) the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt and (iii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award to be made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service, as reasonably determined by Lender.
          7.4.2 Application to Debt. Except as provided in Section 7.4.1, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3. Any such prepayment of the Loan shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the unpaid Principal. After any such application to the unpaid Principal, the remaining unpaid Principal shall be reamortized over the remaining term hereof.
          7.4.3 Procedure for Application to Restoration. If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the

51


 

Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration, (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications and construction contracts for such Restoration, such plans and specifications and construction contracts to be approved by Lender prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.
8. DEFAULTS

     8.2 Remedies.
          8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1) and at any time and from time to time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
          8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared, or be automatically, due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.
          8.2.3 Severance. Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (and, in connection therewith, to bifurcate or otherwise modify the nature of the collateral that secures such notes) in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and

54


 

remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.
          8.2.4 Delay. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.
          8.2.5 Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
9. SECONDARY MARKET PROVISIONS
     9.1 Transfer of Loan. Lender may, at any time, sell, transfer or assign the Loan, the Loan Documents and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto, or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage (each such sale, assignment, participation and/or securitization, a “Secondary Market Transaction”). Lender may forward to each purchaser, transferee, assignee, servicer, participant, investor in such Securities or any Rating Agency (all of the foregoing entities collectively referred to as the “Investor”) and each prospective Investor, all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to the Loan and to Borrower, the Borrower Representative and Guarantor and the Property, whether furnished by Borrower, the Borrower Representative, Guarantor or otherwise, as Lender determines necessary or appropriate. Borrower, the Borrower Representative and Guarantor agree to cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made or any Securities created pursuant to this Section. Borrower shall also promptly furnish

55


 

and Borrower, the Borrower Representative, Guarantor consent to Lender furnishing to such Investors or such prospective Investors or Rating Agency any and all available information concerning the Property, the Leases, the financial condition of Borrower, the Borrower Representative and Guarantor (the “Provided Information”) as may be requested by Lender, any Investor or any prospective Investor or Rating Agency (including, but not limited to, copies of information previously supplied to Lender) in connection with any sale, transfer or participation interest. In addition to any other obligations Borrower may have hereunder, Borrower shall execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents as may be requested by the holder of the Note or any Investor to effect the assignment of the Note and the other Loan Documents and/or issuance of Securities including (i) bifurcating the Note into two or more notes and/or splitting the Mortgage into two or more mortgages of the same or different priorities or otherwise as determined by and acceptable to Lender or (ii) dividing the Note into multiple components corresponding to tranches of certificates to be issued in a Secondary Market Transaction each having a notional balance and an interest rate determined by Lender; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if the overall effect of such modification or amendment would (y) change the initial weighted average interest rate, the maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (z) modify or amend any other material economic term of the Note or the other Loan Documents. Lender will pay all costs and expenses associated with a Secondary Market Transaction.
     9.2 Use of Information. Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction. Lender may require Borrower to review and approve a brief narrative asset summary of the Loan, Manager, the Property and Borrower (and its ownership), and Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the narrative asset summary or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to the Loan, Borrower, Manager and the Property necessary to keep the narrative asset summary accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.
     9.3 Borrower Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Lender for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (“Liabilities”) arising out of or based upon the omission of any material fact in the Provided Information or the failure to correct any misstatement in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and shall reimburse Lender for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
     9.4 [Intentionally Deleted.]
10. MISCELLANEOUS
     10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance

56


 

or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with any Loan Document. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (i) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any Loan Document; (ii) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (iii) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (iv) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (v) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (vi) constitute a prohibition against Lender to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to exercise its remedies against the Property; or (vii) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrower for any or all of the foregoing being referred to herein as “Borrower’s Recourse Liabilities”): (a) fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Borrower or any guarantor in connection with the Loan; (b) [intentionally deleted]; (c) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification in any Loan Document concerning Environmental Laws or Hazardous Substances, including Sections 4.19 and 5.7, and clauses (viii) through (xi) of Section 5.18; (d) physical waste occurring as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Borrower or after an Event of Default, the removal or disposal of any portion of the Property; (e) the misapplication or conversion by Borrower of (x) any Proceeds paid by reason of any Insured Casualty, (y) any Award received in connection with a Condemnation, or (z) any Rents, refund of Taxes or amounts in any Subaccount (including any distributions or payments to members/partners/shareholders of Borrower during a period which Lender did not receive the full amounts required to be paid to Lender under the Loan Documents); (f) [intentionally deleted]; (g) any security deposits collected with respect to the Property which are not delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure of the Mortgage or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof; and (h) [intentionally deleted.}
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) shall have occurred or (ii) a breach of the covenant set forth in

57


 

Section 5.12, or (iii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in either (y) Section 8.1(f), or (z) Section 8.1(g) and, with respect to such condition or event described in Section 8.1(g), either Borrower, Borrower Representative, Guarantor or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower, Borrower Representative or Guarantor (other than the holder of any publicly traded shares or securities of Guarantor who are not officers or directors of Guarantor) causes such event or condition to occur (by way of example, but not limitation, such Person seeks the appointment of a receiver or files a bankruptcy petition), consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such condition or event to occur or fails to contest such condition or event.
     10.2 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders who will not be paid from the proceeds of the Loan at closing.

Borrower shall pay any reasonable fees and expenses of the Servicer and any special servicer in connection with a Defeasance, release of the Property, assumption or modification of the Loan, enforcement of the Loan Documents or workout or restructure or any other action taken by Servicer or any special servicer hereunder on behalf of Lender.
     10.4 Survival.

     10.6 Governing Law.
          (a) THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, PROVIDED THAT, TO THE EXTENT ANY OF SUCH LAWS MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, SUCH FEDERAL LAW SHALL SO GOVERN AND BE CONTROLLING.
          (b) ANY LEGAL SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING AGAINST LENDER OR BORROWER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INSTITUTED IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION OVER THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND BORROWER AND LENDER EACH WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. BORROWER AND LENDER EACH DOES HEREBY CONSENT AND AGREE TO SERVICE OF ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED U.S. MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO BORROWER AND LENDER AT THE ADDRESS FOR NOTICES DESCRIBED IN SECTION 6.1 HEREOF, AND EACH CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT SUCH SERVICE SHALL CONSTITUTE IN EVERY RESPECT VALID AND EFFECTIVE SERVICE (BUT NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE VALIDITY OR EFFECTIVENESS OF PROCESS SERVED IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW).
     10.7 Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on Borrower shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under any Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, or to declare an Event of Default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

59


 

     10.8 Trial by Jury. BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EITHER PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER.
     10.9 Headings/Exhibits. The 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. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
     10.10 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
     10.11 Preferences. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply (or having so applied, to reverse and reapply) any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Debt. To the extent Borrower makes a payment to Lender, or Lender receives proceeds of any collateral, which is in whole or in part subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Debt or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender. This provision shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Debt.
     10.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or any other Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which no Loan Document specifically and expressly requires the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
     10.13 Remedies of Borrower. If a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or any of its agents, including Servicer, has acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under any Loan Document, Lender or any such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents, including Servicer, shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be to commence an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or

60


 

proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf, except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Servicer.
     10.14 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
     10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. 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, including Servicer, or otherwise offset any obligations to make payments required under the Loan Documents. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents, and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
     10.16 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender; provided, however that the Guarantor or its Affiliates shall be each entitled to make without the approval of Lender any public announcement of, or any public filing relating to the foregoing, if such announcement is required to comply with laws or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system or in the opinion of legal counsel a disclosure directly resulting from Guarantor’s status as a public company. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval
     10.17 No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the

61


 

fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.
     10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.
     10.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
     10.20 Yield Maintenance Premium. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents that is not prepayable prior to the Stated Maturity Date and (b) if payments of Principal are made to Lender prior to the regularly scheduled due date for such payment, for any reason whatsoever, including as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower expressly waives any right or privilege to prepay the Loan except as otherwise may be specifically permitted herein and agrees that, except as expressly provided in Sections 2.3.4 and 7.4.2, all prepayments, if any, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.20, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder.

     10.21 Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
     10.22 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
