WITNESSETH THAT, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
DEFINITIONS
For the purposes of this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings, unless the context hereof clearly requires otherwise:
Accordion Option: Has the meaning set forth in Section 7.20.
Additional Property: Has the meaning set forth in Section 7.21, and shall be deemed to include all Land, Improvements, Equipment and other "Trust Estate" or "Mortgaged Property" described in the Deed of Trust encumbering such property.
Advance: Any portion of the Loan advanced to or for the benefit of Borrower in accordance with the terms hereof.
Advance Date: Has the meaning set forth in Section 3.5.

Agreement: This Loan Agreement, including any amendments hereof and supplements hereto executed by Borrower and Agent.
Annualized Net Operating Income: Means annualized Net Operating Income before payment of debt service from the Properties securing the Loan as of the date of calculation, calculated by annualizing the Net Operating Income for the immediately preceding prior two calendar quarters, provided that if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is being calculated within 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter, the Net Operating Income shall be calculated by looking at the Net Operating Income during the two calendar quarters preceding the immediately prior calendar quarter; e.g., if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is being calculated on January 10, 2014, the two calendar quarter period would be the period commencing on April 1, 2013 and ending on September 30, 2013 and if the Debt Service Coverage Ratio is being calculated on February 20, 2014, the two calendar quarter period would be the period commencing on July 1, 2013, and ending on December 31, 2013). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Property has been owned by a Borrower for less than the entire applicable foregoing period, then Net Operating Income for such Property shall be calculated by annualizing the Net Operating Income for such Property for the portion of such period during which a Borrower owned such Property. In addition, until an Additional Property has secured the Loan for one full calendar quarter, the Net Operating Income for that Property shall be calculated using the Agent's underwritten projected year one Rental Income and Operating Expenses for such Additional Property based on the Appraisal obtained for such Additional Property in accordance with Section 7.21 (e.g., if an Additional Property is added on June 15, 2013, this sentence would apply to such Additional Property until September 30, 2013).
Applicable Interest Rate: Has the meaning set forth in Section 1.2.
Applicable Margin: Means the applicable percentage set forth below in the "Applicable Margin" column, based on the Borrowing Base Leverage Ratio calculated by Agent as of the last day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter:

In addition to any of the rights of Agent or Lenders hereunder to order Appraisals, Agent may at any time and from time to time order new Appraisals of the Properties during the existence of an Event of Default, and Borrower shall pay the costs of any and all such Appraisals within ten days of written demand by Agent.

All advances of Loan proceeds shall be evidenced by the Note. In no event shall the Lenders be obligated hereunder to lend to Borrower more than Borrower has qualified to receive under the terms of Article III hereof. Amounts borrowed under the Revolving Portion and repaid can be re-borrowed subject to satisfaction of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. Amounts borrowed under the Non-revolving Portion and repaid may not be subsequently re-borrowed. The Revolving Portion and the Non-revolving Portion constitute a single facility in the Committed Amount represented by the Note.

The "Applicable Interest Rate" shall mean (a) the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate, as the same may fluctuate from time to time, as to all amounts outstanding on the Loan, other than LIBOR Rate Advances, and (b) the LIBOR Rate as to those portions of the Loan that are LIBOR Rate Advances.

- 20- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
hereunder (other than LIBOR Rate Advances), whether such advances are made prior to, the same day as, or subsequent to any particular change in the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate.
(b) Interest accrued during each calendar month shall be payable, as accrued, on the first Business Day of the next calendar month, commencing on the first Business Day of the next calendar month following the calendar month in which the Initial Advance of the Loan is made, and all unpaid, accrued interest shall be paid in full at the time all advances are paid in full. If all unpaid advances made by Agent and Lenders have not been repaid on or before the Maturity Date, then the entire unpaid balance of all advances made by Agent and Lenders shall (without notice to or demand upon Borrower) become due and payable on said date, together with all unpaid, accrued interest thereon, and with interest computed from and after that date in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note, until all advances are paid in full.

Borrower shall pay the amounts necessary such that the gross amount of the principal and interest received by Agent and Lenders is not less than that required by this Agreement and the Note. If Borrower is required by law to deduct any such amounts from or in respect of any principal or interest payment hereunder, then (i) the sum payable to Agent and Lenders shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this provision) Agent and Lenders receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no 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. Borrower shall pay all stamp and documentary taxes. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent or Lenders pay such taxes, Borrower shall reimburse Agent and Lenders for the amount paid.

(d) Throughout the term of the Loan, interest will be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which interest is charged. If any payment of interest to be made by Borrower hereunder becomes due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment must be made on the next succeeding Business Day.
(e) Absent manifest error, Agent's records as to the amounts of principal, interest and other sums owing hereunder shall be conclusive and binding.
1.3 LIBOR Rate Option.

Agent shall notify Borrower of the LIBOR Rate applicable to any LIBOR Rate Period promptly after the same is determined by Agent, which determination, in the absence of manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding on Borrower. From and after the end of each LIBOR Rate Period, if Borrower does not timely select another interest rate option at least two New York Banking Days
- 21- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
before the end of the LIBOR Rate Period for a LIBOR Rate Advance, Agent may at any time after the end of the LIBOR Rate Period convert the LIBOR Rate Advance to a Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate Advance accruing interest at the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate, but until such conversion, such LIBOR Rate Advance shall continue to accrue interest at the same rate as the interest rate in effect for such LIBOR Rate Advance prior to the end of the LIBOR Rate Period, unless and until Borrower has again properly elected, by a LIBOR Rate Notice, to pay interest thereon at a LIBOR Rate pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than four (4) LIBOR Rate Advances may be outstanding at any time. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in Section 1.5 and Section 1.10, LIBOR Rate Advances may be repaid or prepaid on any day; provided, however, Borrower shall also pay to Agent, from time to time, on demand, any sums necessary to compensate Agent and Lenders for all costs, expenses, claims, penalties and liabilities incurred by Agent and Lenders by virtue of the repayment or prepayment of funds, or Agent's and Lenders' inability to repay or prepay funds, borrowed by Agent in the London interbank market to advance to Borrower or to make a LIBOR Rate available to Borrower including, without limitation, the Interest Differential.

(b) In addition to all other sums then owing hereunder, Borrower shall pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders (i) a prepayment fee equal to one percent (1.0%) of any principal amount of the Non-revolving Portion that is paid prior to March 1, 2014, and (ii) no prepayment fee shall be due and payable for any payment that is made on or following March 1, 2014. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the amount of any principal paydown which results directly from the application of the release price from the release of one of the three buildings on the KBS Willow Oaks Property pursuant to Section 7.22 hereof shall not be subject to the prepayment fee specified in this Section 1.5(b) (provided, however, that those prepayments resulting from the release of any other Properties, shall be subject to the prepayment fee specified in this subsection 1.5(b)). For the avoidance of doubt, no prepayment fee shall be payable with respect to the Revolving Portion. Borrower expressly waives any and all rights it may have under applicable law (including without limitation Section 2954.10 of the California Civil Code) to repay the Loan in whole or in part without premium or penalty, including without limitation the payment of a prepayment fee or penalty for prepayment upon acceleration. Borrower acknowledges that the foregoing prepayment fee is a material part of the consideration for the Agent and Lenders making the Loan, which has been given individual weight to the consideration for the Loan and this waiver and agreement.

1.6 Yield Protection. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any law or any governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law), or any change in the interpretation, promulgation, implementation or administration thereof by any governmental or quasi-governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof including, notwithstanding the foregoing, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in
Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
connection with Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued, or compliance by Agent or any Lender (or applicable Lending Installation) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency:
(a) subjects Agent and/or any Lender (or any applicable Lending Installation) to any Taxes, or changes the basis of taxation of payments (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes) to Agent and/or any Lender in respect of the Loan or participations therein, including without limitation the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance or any other fees or amounts payable hereunder (other than with respect to Excluded Taxes), or
(b) imposes or increases or deems applicable any reserve, assessment, insurance charge, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Agent and/or any Lender (or any applicable Lending Installation), or
(c) imposes any other condition the result of which is to increase the cost to Agent and/or any Lender (or any applicable Lending Installation) of making, funding or maintaining the Loan or any LIBOR Rate Advance (or any related Loan commitment), or to reduce any amount receivable by Agent and/or any Lender (or any applicable Lending Installation) in connection with the Loan or participations therein (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), or requires Agent and/or any Lender (or any applicable Lending Installation) to make any payment calculated by reference to the amount of the Loan by an amount deemed material by Agent and/or such Lender,
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Agent and/or such Lender (or applicable Lending Installation) of making or maintaining the Loan or to reduce the return received by Agent and/or such Lender (or applicable Lending Installation), as the case may be, in connection with the Loan, then, upon written demand by Agent, Borrower shall pay Agent and/or such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Agent and/or such Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received, as reasonably determined by Agent and/or such Lender. A statement from Agent setting forth such amount or amounts as shall be necessary to so compensate Agent and/or such Lender shall be delivered to Borrower and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon Borrower. Borrower shall pay Agent (for the benefit of Agent and/or such Lender) the amount shown as due on any such statement within fifteen (15) days after its receipt of the same. Failure on the part of Agent and/or such Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs, lost income or reduction in amounts received or receivable shall not constitute a waiver of Agent's or such Lender's rights to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable. The protection under this section shall be available to Agent and the Lenders regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of any law, regulation or directive which shall give rise to any demand by Agent or any Lender.
1.7 Inability to Determine LIBOR. In the event that on the date for determining LIBOR in respect of the LIBOR Rate Period for any LIBOR Rate Advance, Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market, adequate and fair means do not
- 26- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such LIBOR Rate Period, Agent shall promptly give to Borrower notice (confirmed as soon as practicable in writing) of the nature and effect of such circumstances, and the LIBOR Rate Advance in question shall bear interest, or continue to bear interest, as the case may be, at the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate. If at any time subsequent to Agent's giving of such notice, Agent determines that because of a change in circumstances the LIBOR Rate is again available to Borrower, Agent shall so notify Borrower and shall convert the rate of interest payable with respect to such portion of the Principal Balance from the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate to the LIBOR Rate. Nothing in this Section shall affect the LIBOR Rate then in effect on any LIBOR Rate Advance outstanding at the time of receipt by Borrower of such notice until the expiration of the LIBOR Rate Period in effect with respect to such LIBOR Rate Advance at such time.
1.8 Illegality. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, if any Change shall make it unlawful for Agent and/or the Lenders to make or maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby, then, by written notice to Borrower, Agent may:
(a) declare that LIBOR Rate Advances will not thereafter be made hereunder, in which event Borrower shall be prohibited from requesting LIBOR Rate Advances from Agent, and Agent shall not be required to make LIBOR Rate Advances to Borrower, hereunder unless such declaration is subsequently withdrawn; and
(b) require, but only to the extent the Change affects outstanding LIBOR Rate Advances, that all outstanding LIBOR Rate Advances made by Agent and/or the Lenders be added to, and become a part of, the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate Advances hereunder, in which event all such LIBOR Rate Advances shall automatically be added to, and become a part of, the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate Advances as of the effective date of such notice as is hereinafter provided for (notwithstanding any provisions of the Note or this Agreement to the contrary), and interest shall accrue thereon, from and after said date, at the Monthly Reset LIBOR Rate or the Default Rate, whichever is then applicable. For purposes of this Section, a notice to Borrower by Agent shall be effective, if lawful, on the date of receipt by Borrower.
1.9 Capital Adequacy. If Agent determines the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Agent or any Lender, any Lending Installation of Agent or any Lender, or any corporation or other Person controlling Agent or any Lender is increased as a result of a Change, then, within fifteen (15) days of demand by Agent, the Borrower shall pay to Agent the amount necessary to compensate for any shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which Agent determines is attributable to this Agreement or any Loan or commitment made hereunder (after taking into account Agent's policies as to capital adequacy). Without limiting the foregoing, such compensation shall include an amount equal to any reduction in return on assets or return on equity to a level below that which Agent or any Lender could have achieved absent its extension of credit hereunder and but for such Change. Agent will notify Borrower as promptly as practicable after it determines to demand such compensation. "Change" means (i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital Guidelines (defined below) or (ii) any adoption of or change in any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy, guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law) or in the interpretation, promulgation,
- 27- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
implementation or administration thereof after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by Agent or any Lender (or any Lending Installation) or any corporation or other Person controlling Agent or any Lender, including without limitation, (a) any such law, regulation or change which affects the London interbank market, and (b) any such change which results in an adjustment (i) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessment rate, (ii) of the reserve requirement specified by Regulation D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of this Agreement, all requests, rules, guidelines or directives in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States financial regulatory authorities shall be deemed to be a Change regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. "Risk-Based Capital Guidelines" means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and (ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory authorities outside the United States including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior to the date of this Agreement.
1.10 Indemnification of Agent and the Lenders. Except for a failure caused by Agent's default, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and Lenders against any loss or expense that Agent and/or Lenders may sustain or incur (including, without limitation, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Advance, but excluding any Lender's (other than Agent's attorneys' fees) as a consequence of (a) any failure of the Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due under the Loan Documents, (b) any failure of the Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a LIBOR Rate Advance on a date specified therefor in a notice thereof, (c) any failure to fulfill on the scheduled commencement date of any LIBOR Rate Period hereunder the applicable conditions set forth herein as prerequisites to an advance that is to be a LIBOR Rate Advance or to the election of a LIBOR Rate Advance at a LIBOR Rate, (d) any failure to borrow hereunder after a LIBOR Rate Notice has been given, (e) any payment or prepayment permitted or mandated hereunder of a LIBOR Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the relevant LIBOR Rate Period, including without limitation upon acceleration following an Event of Default, or (f) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including but not limited to any loss or expense sustained or incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Advance. Without limiting the foregoing, such loss or expense shall conclusively be deemed to include the Interest Differential. Because of the short‑term nature of this facility, the Borrower agrees that the Interest Differential shall not be discounted to its present value. Any prepayment of an Advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal balance of such advance. Agent shall provide to Borrower a statement, signed by an officer of Agent, explaining any such loss or expense and the Interest Differential, and setting forth, if applicable, the computations used to determine such loss or expense and the Interest Differential, which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower, absent manifest error. All such loss, expense and Interest Differential shall be payable by Borrower to Agent within five (5) days of demand by Agent.
- 28- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
Borrower acknowledges that payment or prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of an applicable LIBOR Rate Period shall result in Agent and Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of such costs, expenses and/or liabilities, and any such payment or prepayment therefore must include the Interest Differential and other sums set forth above. Borrower hereby expressly (a) waives any rights it may have under California Civil Code Section 2954.10 to prepay any LIBOR Rate Advance without penalty, upon acceleration of the maturity of the Loan, and (b) agrees that if a prepayment of any LIBOR Rate Advance is made, following any acceleration of the maturity of the Loan by the Agent on account of any transfer or disposition as prohibited or restricted by this Agreement or by any Deed of Trust, then Borrower shall be obligated to pay, concurrently therewith, as a prepayment premium, the applicable Interest Differential and other sums specified above. By initialing this provision in the space provided below, Borrower hereby declares that the Agent and Lenders' agreement to make the subject Loan at the interest rate and for the term set forth in this Agreement constitutes adequate consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for this waiver and agreement.
BORROWER'S INITIALS: | /s/ CJS | /s/ CJS | /s/ CJS | |||
1.11 Default Rate. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, or the entire Principal Balance, all interest accrued thereon, and all other amounts payable under the Loan have not been repaid on or before the Maturity Date, then the entire Principal Balance shall (without notice to or demand upon Borrower) become due and payable on said date, together with all unpaid, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan, and with interest computed on all such sums from and after that date at a rate which is five percent (5.0%) per annum in excess of the rate(s) of interest then accruing on the Principal Balance, or at the maximum lawful rate of interest which may be charged thereon by Agent, if any, whichever is less (hereinafter called "Default Rate"), until all such amounts are paid in full.
1.12 Late Payment Charge. In the event that any required payment of principal and/or interest hereunder is not made on or before the due date thereof, taking into account any grace period, (but expressly excluding payment of principal due upon maturity (by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a late payment charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of the overdue payment, for the purpose of reimbursing Agent and Lenders for a portion of the expense incident to handling the overdue payment.
1.13 Effective Rate. Borrower, Agent and the Lenders agree that no payment of interest or other consideration made or agreed to be made by Borrower to Agent and/or the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement, the Note, any Deed of Trust or any other instrument referring to or securing the Loan shall, at any time, be deemed to have been computed at an interest rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest permissible by law, if any. In the event such payments of interest or other consideration provided for in this Agreement, the Note, any Deed of Trust or any other instrument referring to or securing the Loan shall result in payment of an effective rate of interest which, for any period of time, is in excess of the limit of the usury law or any other law applicable to the Loan evidenced by the Note, all sums in excess of those lawfully collectible as interest for the period in question shall, without further agreement or
Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
notice between or by any party or parties hereto, be applied to the Principal Balance immediately upon receipt of such monies by Agent with the same force and effect as though Borrower had specifically designated, and Agent had agreed to accept, such extra payments as a principal payment, without premium or penalty. If principal has been fully paid, any such excess amount shall be refunded to Borrower. This provision shall control over every other obligation of Borrower, Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the Note, the Deeds of Trust and any other instrument which secures the Note.
1.14 Application of Payments. Unless Agent otherwise consents in writing, all proceeds and payments made and received under the Note shall be applied in the manner set forth in Section 8.5(b); provided, that if an Event of Default exists and is continuing, with the written consent of all Lenders, Agent may apply any payments and proceeds received to the obligations owing under the Loan Documents and any Swap Contracts in such order and manner as Agent, with the consent of all Lenders, may elect (and if such consent is not forthcoming, in the order and manner set forth in Section 8.5(b)).
1.15 Fees. On the date hereof and on or before the dates set forth therein, Borrower shall pay U.S. Bank all fees, costs and expenses referenced in the Fee Letter. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, all fees, costs and expenses payable to U.S. Bank under the Fee Letter shall be solely for the account of U.S. Bank, and need not be shared with any other Lender (except only, if at all, as set forth in a separate letter agreement between U.S. Bank and such other Lender).
1.16 No Waiver by Agent. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by Agent. All rights and remedies of Agent under the terms of this Agreement, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, and under any statutes or rules of law shall be cumulative and may be exercised successively or concurrently. Any provision of this Agreement and the Note which may be unenforceable or invalid under any law shall be ineffective to the extent of such unenforceability or invalidity without affecting the enforceability or validity of any other provision hereof.

Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Article II and/or in Article III herein or elsewhere in this Agreement, the initial funding of the Loan and/or recordation of the Deeds of Trust shall be deemed a confirmation by Agent and the Lenders that all conditions precedent to the funding of the Initial Advance as set forth in this Article II have been satisfied or waived for all purposes, including for purposes of making of any Additional Advances under Article III (except as otherwise expressly reserved by Agent in a writing delivered to Borrower prior to the closing of the Loan).
III. ADVANCES OF LOAN PROCEEDS
3.1 General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender shall, pro rata according to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount, make advances to Borrower in such amounts as Borrower may request in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. All monies advanced by Agent and the Lenders (including amounts payable to Agent and the Lenders and advanced by Agent and the Lenders to themselves pursuant to the terms hereof) shall constitute loans made to Borrower under this Agreement, evidenced by the Note and this Agreement and secured by the other Loan Documents, and interest shall be computed thereon, as prescribed by this Agreement and the Note, from the date Borrower's Loan account is charged with the amount of the advance, whether or not an advance made to the Title Company is fully disbursed by the Title Company or is withheld in full or in part.
No advance shall constitute a waiver of any condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make any further advance or preclude Agent from thereafter declaring the failure of Borrower to satisfy any such condition precedent to be an Event of Default. All
- 35- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
conditions precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make any advance are imposed hereby solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, and no other party may require satisfaction of any such condition precedent or shall be entitled to assume that Agent and the Lenders will make or refuse to make any advance in the absence of strict compliance with such condition precedent.
Agent may, at Agent's option, without any obligation to do so, advance to Agent and/or Lenders from the proceeds of the Loan all other sums due or to become due Agent and/or Lenders under this Agreement, under any Swap Contract entered into with Borrower or under any of the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to their fees, attorneys' fees, Appraisal fees, internal Appraisal review and other fees, administrative fees and expenses, syndication and transfer costs, and all other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Agent in connection with this Agreement and with the Loan. Agent shall also have the right, but not the obligation, to advance and directly apply the proceeds of the Loan to the satisfaction of any of Borrower's other obligations hereunder, under any Swap Contracts entered into with Borrower or under any of the other Loan Documents.
In no event shall Agent and Lenders have any obligation to make any advance if the requested advance, plus the sum of all outstanding advances, would exceed the then current Availability Amount.
3.2 Inspections. Agent, the Title Company, Consultants and their representatives shall have access to the Properties at all reasonable times and upon not less than twenty four hours prior notice, and shall have the right to enter any Property and to conduct such inspections thereof at their sole cost and expense, and subject to the rights of tenants under their leases, provided if an Event of Default exists, such inspection shall be at Borrower's expense, as they shall deem necessary or desirable for the protection of the interests of Agent and the Lenders.
3.3 Responsibility of Agent and the Lenders. It is expressly understood and agreed that neither Agent nor the Lenders assume any liability or responsibility for protection of the Properties, for any representations made by Borrower, or for any acts on the part of Borrower to be performed under the Loan Documents.
3.4 [Intentionally Deleted].

Loan proceeds, Borrower shall submit a signed Draw Request, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J, to Agent at least two (2) business days prior to the date on which the requested advance is to be made ("Advance Date"). The funding of any Additional Advance shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following additional conditions:
(a) If requested by Agent in connection with any advance, Borrower shall provide to Agent one or more endorsements (to the full extent available) to and continuation of each Title Policy, showing that there have been no mechanic's or materialmen's liens or other liens filed since the date of the issuance of such Title Policy, ensuring that each Additional Advance shall be secured by the Deeds of Trusts in a first lien position, subject to no other liens or title exceptions, other than the Permitted Encumbrances, and/or updating the effective date of each Title Policy to the relevant Advance Date, which endorsements shall be provided at Borrower's expense. If any liens or other matters, which in Agent's good faith reasonable judgment jeopardize or otherwise impair its security interest (and/or the first priority thereof) in any Property, are disclosed by said endorsement and continuation or are in any other manner discovered by the Title Company or Agent, no further advances shall be made until such liens or other matters have been waived by Agent or satisfied in a manner acceptable to Agent. Upon written demand of Agent, Borrower shall immediately cause any such liens or other matters to be satisfied or released, of record, or bonded around and removed from the Property encumbered thereby or affirmatively insured over by the Title Company to Agent's satisfaction, or shall make other arrangements with respect to the discharge thereof and the releases thereof from the Property encumbered thereby as are acceptable to Agent, in its reasonable discretion.
(b) No Event of Default (or event that with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time could become an Event of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing. In no event shall Agent be required to make any advance unless, at the time of the advance, there shall exist no Event of Default hereunder (or event that with the giving of notice and/or the passage of time could become an Event of Default), and all representations and warranties made herein shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of each Advance Date with the same effect as if made on that date.

(b) As of the date of each disbursement, no default or Event of Default under this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents shall have occurred and be continuing, and no event shall have occurred which, upon the service of notice and/or the lapse of time, would constitute an Event of Default thereunder.
(c) As of the date of each disbursement, the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV of this Agreement shall each be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of each disbursement.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 5.12 AND SECTION 6.1 OF THIS AGREEMENT IF AT ANY TIME AGENT OR LENDERS DETERMINE THAT A REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY IS NOT TRUE, CORRECT AND COMPLETE IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS).

Such costs and expenses shall be so paid by Borrower whether or not the Loan is fully advanced or disbursed.

Borrower shall use the Loan proceeds only for investments in commercial real estate and for other business and investment purposes (which shall include distributions to its members when such distributions are permitted under the terms and conditions of this Agreement), and in no event shall Borrower use the proceeds of the Loan for family or household purposes. Borrower agrees not to permit, at any time, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to exceed the Committed Amount (as it may be reduced hereunder), and if Agent determines at any time that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan exceeds the Committed Amount, Borrower shall immediately pay to Agent upon demand by Agent, an amount sufficient to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to an amount equal to or less than the then existing Committed Amount. Borrower's failure to comply with this Section shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Loan Documents.

5.7 Maintaining Insurance Coverage. Borrower shall, at all times until all Obligations have been fully repaid, maintain, or cause to be maintained, in effect (and shall

5.8 Complying with Other Documents. Borrower shall comply with and perform all of its agreements and obligations under all other contracts and agreements to which any Borrower is a party relating to the ownership, occupancy, use, development, construction or management of the Properties to the extent, at such time, a reasonably prudent owner of commercial property would do so, and shall comply with all requests by Agent which are consistent with the terms thereof.
5.9 Lease Approval Rights. Except as specified below, Borrower shall not enter into, amend or modify any lease covering any portion of any Property without Agent's prior written consent, in Agent's reasonable discretion, and shall furnish to Agent, upon execution, a fully executed copy of each such lease entered into by Borrower, together with all exhibits and attachments thereto and all amendments and modifications thereof. For leases that require Agent approval, Borrower shall provide Agent with a copy of the Letter of Intent ("LOI") for each proposed lease and, to the extent available, with financial information on the proposed tenant to aid Agent in determining whether it will consent thereto. Agent may declare any future leases with key tenants at any Property to be prior or subordinate to the Deed of Trust encumbering such Property, at Agent's sole option, and Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain SNDAs to achieve such subordination. A proposed LOI shall be deemed approved by Agent unless Agent disapproves such LOI in writing within five (5) Business Days after such LOI is submitted to Agent for approval. Upon approval (or deemed approval) of the LOI, no further approval will be required by Agent and Agent will have granted its consent to the lease that results from the LOI so long as such lease is on a lease form approved by Agent (which lease form may be modified to address customary lease modifications in the marketplace), and the business terms in the lease are not materially different from the terms outlined in the approved (or deemed approved) LOI.
Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 5.9, with respect to Qualifying Leases (as defined below), Borrower shall not be obligated to obtain Agent's prior written consent so long as such lease (i) is on a lease form approved by Agent (which lease form may be modified to address customary lease modifications in the marketplace); (ii) the net effective rent payable under such lease is equal to or in excess of 85% of market rents at the time the lease is executed; and (iii) the term for such lease is equal to or greater than 1-year.

Borrower will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply and, to the extent it is able, will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause others to comply with all restrictive covenants and all obligations created by private contracts and leases which affect ownership, construction, equipping, fixturing, use, occupancy, sale or leasing of each Property (or any portion thereof). Each Property and the leasing and sale thereof shall be in compliance with all permits and approvals issued by Governmental Authorities with respect to such Property, applicable building, zoning and use laws, requirements, regulations and ordinances and such leasing and sale will not violate any restrictions of record against such Property. Borrower will deliver to Agent, promptly after receipt thereof, copies of all permits and approvals received from Governmental Authorities relating to the use, development, leasing and/or sale of the Improvements for each Property.
5.11 Ownership of Personal Property. Each Borrower is, and after the date hereof, will be the sole owner of all Equipment pertaining to such Borrower's Property, free from any adverse lien, security interest or adverse claim of any kind whatsoever, except for security interests and liens in favor of Agent and other liens approved by Agent, in Agent's sole discretion. Borrower will not convey or transfer any portion of the Equipment without the prior written consent of Agent.
5.12 Representations and Warranties. Until repayment of the Note and all other obligations secured by the Deeds of Trust, Borrower shall ensure that the representations and warranties of Article IV remain true and complete in all material respects, provided Agent shall not declare an Event of Default based solely on a breach of this covenant unless Agent reasonably determines that such breach (a) would have a material adverse effect on any Property, any Borrower and/or Guarantor or (b) was intentional.
5.13 Trade Names. Borrower shall immediately notify Agent in writing of any change in the jurisdiction of organization or place of business of, or the change in the legal, trade or fictitious business names used by, any Borrower, any of its constituent members or Guarantor, and Agent is hereby authorized to file or record any additional financing statements, amendments and other certificates necessary to reflect any such changes.
5.14 No Distributions. If an Event of Default exists and is continuing, no Borrower will, without the prior written consent of Agent in its sole discretion, make any distribution of assets to any member in any Borrower, whether or not such a distribution is permitted under the terms of such Borrower's limited liability company agreement, including repayment of any loans made by a member in any Borrower to such Borrower, return of capital contributions, distributions upon termination, liquidation or dissolution of such Borrower or any development, property management, accounting or other fees payable to a member in such Borrower (unless any such fee has been approved by Agent, in Agent's sole discretion).

VI. DEFAULTS

- 47- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
notice that such obligation was not performed; provided that, if cure cannot reasonably be effected within such 30-day period, such failure shall not be an event of default hereunder so long as Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, promptly (in any event, within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice) commences cure, and thereafter diligently (in any event, within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice) prosecutes such cure to completion; and provided further, however, that notwithstanding the 30-day cure period or extended cure period described above in this subparagraph (c), if a different notice or cure period is specified under any Loan Document or under any provision of the Loan Documents as to any such failure or breach, the specific Loan Document or provision shall control, and Borrower and Guarantor, as applicable, shall have no more time to cure the failure or breach than is allowed under the specific Loan Document or provision as to such failure or breach.
(d) Any representation or warranty made by any Borrower in this Agreement, in any of the other Loan Documents, or in any certificate or document furnished under the terms of this Agreement or in connection with the Loan, shall be untrue or incomplete in any material respect provided, to the extent curable and to the extent Agent determines a breach was not intentional, Borrower shall have thirty (30) days to remedy the untrue or incomplete representation, warranty, document or other material (so that it is true and complete in all material respects), before such event constitutes an Event of Default hereunder.
(e) Any Borrower shall be in default under the terms of any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable grace or cure period specified therein, and such default shall not be waived by Agent, or an Event of Default shall exist under the terms of any such instrument.
(f) Any Borrower or Guarantor shall apply for, consent to or permit the appointment of a receiver, custodian, trustee or liquidator for it or any of its property or assets; or shall fail to, or admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they mature; or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; or shall take other similar action for the benefit or protection of its creditors; or shall give notice to any governmental body of insolvency or pending insolvency or suspension of operations; or shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or a petition or an answer seeking reorganization or an arrangement with creditors, or to take advantage of any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, readjustment of debt, rearrangement, dissolution, liquidation or other similar debtor relief law or statute; or shall file an answer admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding under any such law or statute; or shall be dissolved, liquidated, terminated or merged; or shall effect a plan or other arrangement with creditors; or a trustee, receiver, liquidator or custodian shall be appointed for it or for any of its property or assets and shall not be discharged within ninety (90) days after the date of his appointment; or a petition in involuntary bankruptcy or similar proceedings is filed against it and is not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of its filing.
(g) Any of the Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity, at any time and for any reason ceases to be in full force and effect, or Guarantor or indemnitor contests or denies the validity or enforceability of the Guaranty or the Environmental Indemnity, or gives notice to Agent to such effect, or otherwise attempts to revoke or repudiate any of the foregoing as to any existing or future obligations, or any Borrower has Guarantor as a general partner (or otherwise

has a structure where Guarantor would be liable for such Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents absent the Guaranty).
(h) Any Borrower shall fail to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement (which, for purposes of clarification, shall not include the Environmental Insurance Policy, it being understood by the parties that termination of such Environmental Insurance Policy shall not be an Event of Default, or constitute a breached obligation under this Agreement, but instead shall only trigger liability of the Guarantor under the Guaranty for any amounts owing by Borrower under the Environmental Indemnity, as more fully set forth in the Guaranty) or shall fail to furnish to Agent proof of payment of all premiums for such insurance within five (5) business days following Agent's written request for same (provided that Borrower has received proof of such payment at the time Agent requests such proof).

(b) Lenders may suspend their obligation to make advances under this Agreement, without notice to Borrower.

causing the Loan to exceed the face amount of the Note, shall bear interest at the Default Rate and shall be payable by Borrower on demand.
VII. MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Binding Effect; Waivers; Cumulative Rights and Remedies. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that neither this Agreement nor the proceeds of the Loan may be assigned by any Borrower voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Agent. No delay on the part of Agent in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder constitute such a waiver or exhaust the same, all of which shall be continuing. The rights and remedies of Agent specified in this Agreement shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights and remedies which Agent would otherwise have at law, in equity or by statute, and all such rights and remedies, together with Agent's rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents, are cumulative and may be exercised individually, concurrently, successively and in any order.
7.2 Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall survive the execution of this Agreement, the making of the advances by the Lenders, and the execution of the other Loan Documents, and shall continue until Agent on behalf of the Lenders receives payment in full of all indebtedness of Borrower incurred under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents.

7.7 No Third Party Reliance. No third party shall be entitled to rely upon this Agreement or to have any of the benefits of Agent's and the Lenders' interest hereunder, unless such third party is an express assignee of all or a portion of the interest of Agent and/or any Lender hereunder.
7.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence hereof with respect to the dates, terms and conditions of this Agreement.
- 51- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
7.9 Entire Agreement; No Oral Modifications. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other documents mentioned herein set forth the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the Loan and supersede all prior written or oral understandings and agreements with respect thereto. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
7.10 Captions. The headings or captions of the Articles and Sections set forth herein are for convenience only, are not a part of this Agreement and are not to be considered in interpreting this Agreement.
7.11 Joint and Several Liability. If Borrower consists of more than one (1) individual and/or entity, each of said individuals and/or entities shall be jointly and severally liable for each covenant, agreement, representation and warranty of Borrower hereunder.
7.12 Borrower's Relationship with Agent and the Lenders. The relationship between Borrower, Agent and the Lenders created hereby and by the other Loan Documents shall be that of a borrower and a lender only, and in no event shall Agent and/or the Lenders be deemed to be a partner of, or a joint venturer with, any Borrower.
7.13 Swap Transactions. Borrower may enter into one or more Swap Transactions and Swap Contracts with the Swap Counterparty on terms that are acceptable to Swap Counterparty in its sole discretion for the purpose of hedging and protecting against interest rate fluctuation risks with respect to the Loan. Upon the Maturity Date, or such earlier date that the Loan becomes due by reason of an Event of Default, or otherwise, or upon payment of the Loan in full, Agent may direct that all existing Swap Contracts be broken and discontinued, and any and all breakage fees, discontinuance fees, settlement obligations, and any and all other sums, fees and costs with respect to such Swap Transactions and Swap Contracts shall become due and payable by Borrower in accordance with the respective Swap Contract, with the Borrower as the sole defaulting party as contemplated by the Swap Contract. Unless otherwise specifically agreed in writing by Borrower, Agent and Swap Counterparty, Borrower's obligations (including any payment obligations) with respect to any such Swap Contracts provided by or entered into with Swap Counterparty (that is a Lender hereunder) with respect to the Loan shall be secured by the Deeds of Trust and all other collateral for the Loan, and any default by Borrower (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period) under any such Swap Contracts shall, at the discretion of the Agent, constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. As additional security for the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby transfers, assigns, and conveys to Agent and grants to Agent a security interest in, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, all of Borrower's present and future rights, titles and interests, but not its obligations, duties or liabilities for any breach, in, under and to all Swap Contracts and all Swap Transactions, any and all amounts received by Borrower in connection therewith or to which Borrower is entitled thereunder, and all proceeds of the foregoing. At Agent's option, if an Event of Default exists, all net amounts payable to Borrower under the Swap Contract shall be paid to Agent and shall be applied to pay interest or other amounts under the Loan. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding the terms of the Swap Contract, Borrower shall not modify or terminate the Swap Contract without the prior written consent of Agent.
- 52- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
Additionally, subject to the terms of the Swap Contract, if there is an uncured default under any Swap Contract, if an Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right at any time (but shall have no obligation) to take in its name or in the name of Borrower (or its Affiliate) such action as Agent may at any time determine to be necessary or advisable to cure any uncured default under any Swap Contract or to protect the rights of Borrower (or its Affiliate) or Swap Counterparty thereunder; provided, however, that before the occurrence of an Event of Default, Agent shall give prior written notice to Borrower before taking any such action. For this purpose, Borrower hereby constitutes Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution, which power of attorney is coupled with an interest and irrevocable by Borrower in any manner, or for any reason, to exercise, at the election of Agent and so long as an Event of Default exists, any and all rights and remedies of Borrower (or its Affiliate) under the Swap Contract, including making any payments thereunder and consummating any transactions contemplated thereby, and to take any action that Agent may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, from time to time to institute and prosecute in the name and at the expense of Borrower, or otherwise, but for the benefit of Agent, any and all proceedings at law, in equity, or otherwise, that Agent may deem proper in order to collect, assert or enforce any claim, right or title, of any kind, in and to the Swap Contract hereby assigned and conveyed, or intended so to be, and to defend and compromise, at the election of Agent, any and all actions, suits or proceedings with respect to the Swap Contract, and generally to do all and any such action in relation thereto as Agent shall deem advisable. Agent shall not incur any liability if any action so taken by Agent or on its behalf shall prove to be inadequate or invalid. Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Agent is not hereby assuming any duties or obligations of Borrower (or its Affiliate) to make payments to Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract or under any other Loan Document. Such payment duties and obligations remain the responsibility of Borrower (or its Affiliate) notwithstanding any language in this Agreement. In no event shall any terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.13 be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict any rights of a Swap Counterparty under a Swap Contract.
7.14 Automatic Deduction and Credit. So long as Agent is the sole Lender hereunder, at Agent's option, payments owed by Agent as Swap Counterparty under any Swap Contract may be credited against accrued interest and other payments owed by Borrower under the Loan provided Agent will provide written notice to Borrower of any such credit. Agent will credit the applicable amounts on the dates the foregoing payments become due; provided, however, that if a due date does not fall on a Business Day, Agent will credit the applicable amounts on the first Business Day following such due date.
7.15 Borrower Waiver. In the event that, at any time, any surety exists that is liable upon only a portion of Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents and Borrower provides partial satisfaction of any such obligation(s), Borrower hereby waives any right it would otherwise have under applicable law, if any, or otherwise to designate the portion of the obligation to be satisfied. The designation of the portion of the obligation to be satisfied shall, to the extent not expressly made by the terms of the Loan Documents, be made by Agent rather than by Borrower.
7.16 Reduction of Committed Amount. Provided (a) no Draw Request is pending that would result in the Principal Balance exceeding the sum of the Non-revolving Portion and
- 53- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
the available proposed reduced Revolving Portion, and (b) that immediately after such reduction the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans is less than or equal to the reduced Revolving Portion as determined by Agent indicated in any such notice (which for the purposes of this Section shall include any amounts requested under a pending Draw Request), Borrower may, subject to Section 7.27 hereof, permanently (except in connection with a Property addition under Sections 7.20 and 7.21) reduce the available Revolving Portion of the Loan (without the payment of any prepayment fee, other than break funding, including any sums owing under Section 1.10 hereof, and any charges relating to early termination of any Swap Contracts), by giving Agent irrevocable notice of such reduction (including the new maximum Revolving Portion) to Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior to the indicated effective date of the reduction. Each such reduction shall (a) be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 (and in increments of $500,000 thereafter), (b) in no event reduce the Committed Amount below $20,000,000 (unless Agent otherwise agrees in writing) and (c) permanently (except in connection with a Property addition under Sections 7.20 and 7.21) reduce the maximum Revolving Portion of the Loan available to Borrower. Borrower may not make more than one reduction election during each calendar month. For purposes of clarification, Borrower may not reduce the amount of the Non-revolving Portion except as expressly provided in Section 1.5 above.
7.17 USA Patriot Act Notice. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an "account" with such financial institution. Consequently, Agent and/or Lenders) may from time-to-time request in writing, and each Borrower shall provide to Agent and/or Lenders, such Borrower's name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be reasonably necessary for Agent and/or Lenders to comply with federal law. An "account" for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.
7.18 Statute of Frauds. The rights and obligations of Borrower, Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents shall be determined solely from the Loan Documents, and any prior oral agreements between the Borrower, Agent and Lenders relating to the Loan are superseded by and merged into the Loan Documents.
7.19 Joint Borrower Provisions. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all other Obligations arising under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:
(a) For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.
(b) To induce the Lenders to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Agent and Lenders against, and hold the Agent
- 54- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
and Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury asserted against Agent and/or Lenders by any Borrower or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of (i) reliance by the Agent and/or Lenders on any requests or instructions from any Borrower, or (ii) any other action taken by Agent and/or Lenders in good faith with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(c) Each Borrower acknowledges that the liens and security interests created or granted herein and by the other Loan Documents will secure Obligations of all Borrowers under the Loan Documents and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that the Agent and/or Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Loan Document:
(1) agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;
(2) agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(3) accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof;
(4) accept partial payments on the Obligations;
(5) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the Obligations or any part thereof;
(6) release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security for or guaranties of the Obligations, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion may determine;
(7) release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof;
(8) settle, release on terms satisfactory to Agent or by operation of applicable laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any Obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent to the transfer of any such security and bid and purchase at any sale; and consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations of such Borrower or other Person, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing existence of any lien or security interest hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the Obligations.
- 55- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
(d) Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Agent and/or Lenders at any time may have or hold in connection with the Obligations, and in collecting on the Loan it shall not be necessary for Agent to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to require Agent and/or Lenders, in connection with Agent and/or Lender's efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Agent and/or Lenders may proceed against any Persons and/or collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion in connection with Agent's efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other Obligations. Agent may file a separate action or actions against each Borrower to enforce the Obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Agent, Lenders, each Borrower and/or any other Person may deal with each other in connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The rights of Agent and/or Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Agent and/or Lenders as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times shall remain effective even though the any or all Obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Borrower expressly waives any and all defenses to the enforcement of its obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of (i) any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person with respect to the Obligations, (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the Obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations, (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all Obligations), (iv) any failure of Agent and/or Lenders to marshal assets in favor of any of the Borrowers or any other Person, (v) any failure of Agent and/or Lenders to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for the Obligations to any Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition, (vi) any failure of Agent and/or Lenders to comply in any non‑material respect with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any Obligation, (vii) any act or omission of Agent and/or Lenders or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or of any other Person or of any of the Obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise, (viii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount
- 56- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligation, (ix) any failure of Agent and/or Lenders to file or enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any Person, (x) the election by Agent, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code except to extent otherwise provided in this Agreement, (xii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, (xiii) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person, (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Agent securing the Obligations for any reason, or (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, with respect to the Loan Documents and the Obligations, each Borrower: (A) waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent, even though that election of remedies, such as non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for Borrowers' obligations, has destroyed each of their rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the other by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; and (B) waives any right to a fair value hearing or similar proceeding following a nonjudicial foreclosure of the Obligations, whether arising under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a or otherwise.
(e) The Borrowers represent and warrant to Agent and Lenders that they have established adequate means of obtaining from each other, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other and their respective properties. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Agent and/or Lenders to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of the other Borrowers or the other Borrowers' properties, whether now known or hereafter known by Agent and/or Lenders during the life of this Agreement. With respect to any of the Obligations, the Agent and/or Lenders need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Borrower's behalf.
(f) Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that it may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(1) Agent and/or Lenders may collect on the Obligations from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the other Borrowers; and
(2) If Agent forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Borrower for the Obligations: (A) the amount of the indebtedness owed by the other Borrowers may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if
- 57- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Agent may collect from any Borrower even if Agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.
(g) This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Borrower expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or sale of any real property collateral provided by the other Borrower to secure the Obligations and failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect such Borrower's obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any liens created or granted hereby or thereby.
(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere contained herein or in any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party, with respect to the Loan and all other Obligations, each Borrower hereby waives with respect to the other Borrowers and their successors and assigns (including any surety) and any other Person any and all rights at law or in equity, to subrogation, to reimbursement, to exoneration, to contribution, to setoff, to any other rights and defenses available to it by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 and 2855, inclusive, or to any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker and which each of them may have or hereafter acquire against the other or any other Person in connection with or as a result of such Borrower's execution, delivery and/or performance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party until the Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Borrower agrees that it shall not have or assert any such rights against any other Borrower or any other Borrower's successors and assigns or any other Person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted setoff to any action commenced against such Borrower by any other Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity) or any other Person until the all Obligations are paid and performed in full. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that this waiver is intended to benefit Agent and Lenders and shall not limit or otherwise affect any Borrower's liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof.
(i) Each Borrower warrants and agrees that each of the waivers and consents set forth herein is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences, with the understanding that events giving rise to any defense waived may diminish, destroy or otherwise adversely affect rights which each otherwise may have against the other, against Agent and Lenders or others, or against any collateral. If any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
7.20 Possible Increase in the Committed Amount. As of the Closing Date, the maximum Committed Amount shall be $235,000,000. However, subsequent to the Closing Date Borrower shall have the option to increase the Committed Amount based, in part, on the addition of one or more Additional Properties in accordance with Section 7.21 to secure the Loan (such
- 58- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
option shall be referred to herein as the "Accordion Option"), subject to the following: (a) one or more new lenders shall have been added to this Agreement (each, a "New Lender") and/or one or more existing Lenders (each, an "Additionally Committed Lender"), in their sole and absolute discretion, shall have elected to increase their individual commitments, so that the Committed Amount may be increased, provided that each New Lender and/or Additionally Committed Lender shall be approved by Agent and Borrower (but not the other Lenders), (b) the Committed Amount may be increased up to a maximum of $335,000,000, (c) unless Agent otherwise consents, the allocation of the increased Committed Amount between the Revolving Portion and the Non-revolving Portion must be such that the Non-revolving Portion (and the Term Loan) always constitutes at least sixty percent (60%) of the total Committed Amount, (d) each exercise of the Accordion Option shall be in an amount not less than $10,000,000, (e) the Accordion Option may be exercised a maximum of two (2) times, and (f) Borrower's right to exercise the Accordion Option shall terminate on March 1, 2015 (and all conditions to exercising such option must have been satisfied as of such date). Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its consent to any such increase in the Committed Amount shall not be required and additional Lenders may be added to this Agreement, and any Additionally Committed Lenders under this Agreement may increase their individual commitments, without the consent or agreement of the other Lenders (provided, however, that no Lender's individual commitment may be increased without such Lender's consent), so long as Agent and Borrower have consented in writing to any New Lenders or the increase in the commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender, as applicable.
The addition of any New Lender to this Agreement, and/or the increase in the commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender, shall be effective upon the satisfaction of the following:
(a) Agent and Borrower shall have approved such New Lender and/or such increase in the commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender, as applicable; and Agent shall have sent written notice to all Lenders of such New Lender and its commitment amount and/or the amount of the increase in the commitment of any Additionally Committed Lender (each, an "Accordion Notice").
(b) Agent shall have calculated each Lender's new Commitment Percentage, based on each Lender's commitment and the new Committed Amount, and Agent shall have determined the portion of the Non-revolving Portion (and outstanding Term Loan) and the Revolving Portion (and outstanding Revolving Loans) allocable to each Lender based on such Lender's new Commitment Percentage.
(c) Borrower shall have executed and delivered to Agent a new Note with respect to any New Lender in the amount of such New Lender's commitment; or with respect to an increase in the Commitment of an Additionally Committed Lender, Borrower shall have executed a replacement Note for such Additionally Committed Lender in an amount equal to such Additionally Committed Lender's increased commitment amount.
(d) The Lenders shall execute such Assignment and Assumption Agreements as Agent shall require to evidence each New Lender's acquisition of its Commitment Percentage of the Non-revolving Portion, Revolving Portion and Loan Documents, and to evidence each

Additionally Committed Lender's increased commitment amount. Alternatively (or in addition), at Agent's option each New Lender shall acknowledge in writing (in a form reasonably satisfactory to Agent) that it is assuming the rights and obligations of a "Lender" under this Agreement, and if required by Agent shall execute a copy of this Agreement. Each New Lender and/or each Additionally Committed Lender shall pay to the other existing Lenders a portion of the then outstanding Term Loan and Revolving Loans so that upon the closing of the exercise of the Accordion Option and increase in the Committed Amount, each Lender shall have owing to it its Commitment Percentage of the then outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loans (as set forth in the revised Exhibit I to be delivered in accordance with subparagraph (e) below). For the avoidance of doubt, each New Lender must acquire the same percentage (i.e., its Commitment Percentage) of the Term Loan and the Revolving Loans, and each Additionally Committed Lender must increase its commitment with respect to the Term Loan and the Revolving Loans by the same percentage.
(e) Agent shall have prepared an updated Exhibit I, revised to reflect each Lender's the Commitment Percentage, commitment amount and share of the Non-revolving Portion and Revolving Portion, which updated Exhibit I shall be delivered to the Lenders with the Accordion Notice.
(f) Guarantor shall have executed and delivered to Agent such reaffirmations of its Guaranty and acknowledgment of its increased liability thereunder as Agent shall reasonably require; provided, however, that with the exception of the Guarantor's increased liability due to the increase in the Committed Amount, Guarantor's liability shall remain unmodified as set forth in the Guaranty.

(cc) An Additional Property may be added to the collateral for the Loan only in connection with an increase to the Committed Amount under Section 7.20 above.

- 64- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
Committed Amount to the Borrowing Base Value would not exceed the Maximum Committed Amount Leverage Ratio, and (b) an amount such that the Commitment Resizing Debt Service Coverage Ratio would not be less than 1.25 to 1.0 (or 1.35 to 1.0 if only one Property then secures the Loan).

Except as expressly set forth below in this Section 7.22, Agent shall have no obligation to release any of the Properties (or any portion thereof) until the Loan and all other Obligations have been paid in full and all obligations of Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have terminated. Borrower shall be entitled to obtain the release of a Property, and as to Properties that contain more than one building and are legally sub-divided, a portion of such Property containing a building (each, a "Release Property"), from the lien of the Loan Documents, provided that all of the following conditions are satisfied:

(b) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and no event shall have occurred and be continuing that with the giving of notice and/or the lapse of time would constitute an Event of Default.

(d) Borrower shall have paid to Agent, for application to the Principal Balance, an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the Principal Balance exceeds the then current Availability Amount. In calculating the Availability Amount, the Borrowing Base Amount shall be determined based only on the Properties or portions thereof remaining after the proposed release (i.e., without regard to the Release Property).
(e) Immediately following the release, the Commitment-to-Value-Ratio shall not exceed the Maximum Committed Amount Leverage Ratio, as determined by the Appraisals and calculated by Agent (using the then Committed Amount and, if required by Majority Lenders or Borrower, new updated Appraisals as to any Appraisals more than six (6) months old); provided, however, if the required Committment-to-Value Ratio is not met, Borrower may (1) pay down the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and permanently (except in connection with a Property addition under Sections 7.20 and 7.21) reduce the Committed Amount by an amount sufficient to cause the above-required Commitment-to-Value Ratio to not exceed the Maximum Committed Amount Leverage Ratio, or (2) to the extent that a principal payment is not required to reduce the Committed Amount to the required amount, permanently (except in connection with a Property addition under Sections 7.20 and 7.21) reduce the Committed Amount by an amount sufficient to cause the above-required Commitment-to-Value Ratio to not exceed the Maximum Committed Amount Leverage Ratio.
(f) Immediately following the release, the Commitment Resizing Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall not be less than 1.25 to 1.0 (or 1.35 to 1.0 if only one Property then
- 65- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
secures the Loan), as calculated by Agent (using the then Committed Amount and, if required by Majority Lenders or Borrower, new updated Appraisals as to any Appraisals more than six (6) months old); provided, however, if the required Commitment Resizing Debt Service Coverage Ratio is not met, Borrower may (1) pay down the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and permanently (except in connection with a Property addition under Sections 7.20 and 7.21) reduce the Committed Amount by an amount sufficient to cause the Commitment Resizing Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.0 (or 1.35 to 1.0 if only one Property then secures the Loan) or (2) to the extent that a principal payment is not required to reduce the Committed Amount to the required amount, permanently (except in connection with a Property addition under Sections 7.20 and 7.21) reduce the Committed Amount by an amount sufficient to cause the Commitment Resizing Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.0 (or 1.35 to 1.0 if only one Property then secures the Loan).
(g) Borrower shall have provided Agent with such certifications from the Guarantor(s) that, after giving effect to the proposed release, Guarantor(s) shall be in compliance with their financial covenants under the Guaranty.
(h) As to any Appraisals then more than six (6) months old as to any remaining Properties, Agent may require new Appraisals (at Borrowers' cost) and may calculate the Borrowing Base Amount on the basis of such updated Appraisals.
(i) Borrower shall provide to Agent at Borrower's sole cost and expense such title insurance endorsements to the Title Policies for the remaining Deeds of Trust as Agent shall reasonably request (including, without limitation, CLTA Form 111 Endorsements (or its equivalent), to the extent available and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, which shall insure that after such release, each remaining Deed of Trust shall continue as a valid first position lien against the Property encumbered thereby, subject only to such new title exceptions as Agent shall approve in writing.
(j) The Property or portion thereof being released, as well as all remaining Properties and portions thereof remaining encumbered by Deeds of Trust, shall constitute legally subdivided interests in real property, and such release shall not violate any applicable law pertaining to the subdivision of lots or parcels of real property.
(k) Borrower shall pay, or caused to be paid, to Agent all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such release, including without limitation all breakage fees, recording fees, transfer and other taxes, trustee's fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, appraisal fees, escrow fees, and fees for title insurance and similar charges.
Following the release of any Property, such Release Property shall no longer be included in the definition of "Property" except with respect to any indemnities and other provisions of the Loan Documents that expressly survive repayment of the Loan.
7.23 Collateral Documents. If any Deed of Trust shall for any reason (other than pursuant to the terms thereof) cease to create a valid lien and security interest in the collateral purported to be covered thereby or such lien or security interest shall for any reason cease to be a perfected and first priority lien and security interest subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, and
- 66- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
any such defect or infirmity is not cured to Agent's reasonable satisfaction within ninety (90) days of demand by Agent, the Property encumbered by such Deed of Trust shall immediately (following the expiration of such ninety (90) day cure period) cease to be included in the calculation of Borrowing Base Value and Borrowing Base Amount, and Borrower shall repay to Agent for the ratable benefit of Lenders, within ten (10) days of demand by Agent, any amounts by which the total outstanding Obligations exceed the Availability Amount.
7.24 [Intentionally Omitted.]
7.25 Limited Recourse Provision. Except as to Guarantor as set forth in the Guaranty, Agent and Lenders shall have no recourse against, nor shall there be any personal liability to, the members of Borrower, or to any shareholders, members, partners, beneficial interest holders or any other entity or person in the ownership (directly or indirectly) of Borrower (except for the Guarantor as provided in the Guaranty) with respect to the obligations of Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the above language limit, reduce or otherwise affect any Borrower's liability or obligations under the Loan Documents, Guarantor's liability or obligations under the Guaranty or Agent's right to exercise any rights or remedies against any collateral securing the Loan.
7.26 Release of a Borrower. As to any Release Property released from the lien of a Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of Section 7.22 hereinabove, the Borrower owning such Release Property (a "Release Borrower") shall be automatically released from any and all obligations and liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (excepting, however, any obligations that may arise under the Environmental Indemnity) upon the consummation of the release of such Release Property, as evidenced by a written release from Agent to be delivered concurrently with the consummation of such release (and Agent hereby agrees to deliver such written release to such Release Borrower upon satisfaction of all release conditions set forth in Section 7.22) provided that such Release Borrower shall also be automatically released from any and all of its obligations under the Environmental Indemnity if, at the time of such release, (i) such Release Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a current environmental site assessment for such Release Property and such report does not disclose the existence of any violation of any Environmental Regulation (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) or any Environmental Claims (as defined in the Environmental Indemnity) applicable to such Release Property, which reports shall be dated, or last updated, to a date which is no more than thirty days earlier than the date on which the Deed of Trust securing such Release Property is discharged or released of record, (ii) no Environmental Claim shall be pending or threatened in writing with respect to such Release Property, and (iii) Borrower maintains for such Release Property an environmental insurance policy substantially in the form of the Environmental Insurance Policy approved by Agent when such Release Property was added as collateral for the Loan, which policy shall have a term of no less than one year after the date of the release of such Release Property and which policy (or endorsement thereto) shall name Agent as an additional insured. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of a Release Borrower, to the extent that any payment made by such Release Borrower is rescinded or otherwise must be returned by Agent, any Lender or any other Person, such Release Borrower's liability shall be reinstated (solely to the extent rescinded or returned plus any amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Loan Agreement), all as though such payment had not occurred. For purposes of clarification, in no event shall the
- 67- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
release of a Release Borrower under this Section 7.26 release any other Borrower or Guarantor from any obligations owing under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, such parties continuing indemnity obligations under the Environmental Indemnity relating to a Release Property following the release of a Release Borrower).
7.27 The Non-revolving Portion Must Always Constitute at Least Sixty Percent (60%) of the total Committed Amount. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement which may be construed to the contrary, the Non-revolving Portion (and the Term Loan) must always constitute at least sixty percent (60%) of the total Committed Amount, so that upon any increase or decrease of the Committed Amount as provided for in this Agreement, the Non-revolving Portion of the Committed Amount shall equal at least 60% of the total Committed Amount, and the Revolving Portion shall equal no more than 40% of the total Committed Amount. To the extent, at any time, the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds 40% of the then total Committed Amount, Borrower shall promptly pay to Agent for the benefit of Lenders the amounts by which the outstanding Revolving Loans exceed such percentage (for application by Agent to pay down the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans so that such percentage is brought into compliance), and the Revolving Portion of the Committed Amount shall be reduced accordingly. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and so long as the Non-revolving Portion (and the outstanding amount of the Term Loan) of the Committed Amount shall at all times be equal to at least 60% of the total Committed Amount, the Borrower may, upon three (3) days prior written notice to Agent, reallocate a portion of the Committed Amount from the Non-revolving Portion to the Revolving Portion of the Loan (and concurrently therewith reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan by the amount of such reallocation from the Non-revolving Portion to the Revolving Portion and increase the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Portion by the same amount); and, provided further, however any such reallocation shall in no event increase the total Committed Amount. For avoidance of doubt, so long as no Event of Default then exists, the foregoing reallocation and reduction in the principal amount of the Non-revolving Portion and increase in the principal amount of the Revolving Portion will be implemented without Borrower’s being required to request an Additional Advance under Article III hereof and without Borrower’s being obligated to satisfy any of the conditions in Article III hereof.

In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, neither Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by them under or in connection with this Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents. In this regard, Agent may consult with independent legal counsel, accountants and other professionals or experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or them in good faith in accordance with the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any person to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.
(2) In the event the Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, within ten (10) Business Days of demand therefor by Agent, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Agent, and its directors, officers, agents and employees, in proportion to its respective Commitment Percentage of the Loan (or commitment), for and against any claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Agent, or its directors, officers, agents, or employees in performing its duties hereunder or under any Loan Document, except for claims, actions, judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements incurred solely due to the Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 8.1(b) shall survive the payment in full of all obligations of Borrower and the termination of this Agreement.
8.2 Resignation of Agent; Removal.
(a) Except as expressly provided below, U.S. Bank shall remain the Agent and shall not resign as Agent. In the event of Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct, Agent may be removed pursuant to the unanimous approval of all Lenders by giving thirty (30)
- 69- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
days prior written notice to Agent and Borrower; provided, however, for purposes of calculating such unanimous approval in this context, Agent shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender and its Commitment Percentage shall therefore be disregarded and excluded for voting purposes only.
(b) In the case of any of the events described in Section 8.2(a), (1) the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders (which appointment shall require Borrower's written consent so long as no Event of Default exists, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) so long as such successor meets the requirements described in Sections 8.9(a)(2) and 8.9(a)(3) hereof; (2) upon a successor's acceptance of appointment (and assumption of the Agent's obligations hereunder arising after the date of such appointment), the successor will thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning or removed Agent; and (3) upon the effectiveness of any removal, the removed Agent will thereupon be discharged from the duties and obligations of Agent which thereafter arise under this Agreement.
8.3 Administration.
(a) Expenses. Each Lender shall reimburse the Agent for its Commitment Percentage of any expenses with respect to the administration, enforcement or collection of the Loan which are not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to and within the period required by the Loan Documents, or if not specified in the Loan Documents, on the date of demand therefor made by the Agent. The Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to incur such expenditures prior to reimbursement therefor by the Lenders. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Article 8 or elsewhere in this Loan Agreement, Borrower shall have no obligation to pay, or reimburse for any costs or expenses incurred by Lenders (other than Agent) in connection with this Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or arising out of the exercise of remedies under any of the Loan Documents.
(b) Documents; Information; Inspection. Except for the Note executed in favor of each Lender and for Loan Documents sent for filing or recording (which are not returned following recording), Agent shall hold and maintain a duplicate set of all original Loan Documents. The Agent shall promptly deliver to each Lender a copy or counterpart of execution copy of each Loan Document. Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender a copy of each financial statement of Borrower or rent roll or other financial statement for the Property received from Borrower. Agent shall promptly forward to such Lender each financial statement of Borrower and Guarantor received by Agent. The Lenders may, upon reasonable prior notice and during the Agent's normal business hours, inspect and make copies of such books and records of Agent that relate to this Loan.
8.4 Actions by Agent; Required Consents.
(a) Except as specified below, Agent shall exercise its sole discretion to act or not to act under the Loan Documents. Such discretion may be exercised with respect to the granting of approvals, consents, and modifications under the Loan Documents and with respect to the exercise or refraining from exercise of rights under the Loan Documents.
- 70- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
(b) Notwithstanding Section 8.4(a), the following matters shall require the prior consent of all of the Lenders:
(1) any reduction (other than by operation of the Loan Documents) in the interest rate under the Loan;
(2) any reduction in the amount of any payment of any fees payable to Lenders;
(3) any change (other than by operation of the Loan Documents) in the principal amount or Maturity Date of the Loan or in the conditions for any extension of the Maturity Date;
(4) any release, termination, modification or amendment of the Guaranty or any indemnity provided in the Loan Documents (except to the extent expressly provided for in the Loan Documents);
(5) any forgiveness of principal, interest or other amounts payable under the Loan (other than late fees) or any extension of time for payment of principal or interest;
(6) any increase in the Committed Amount (except to the extent expressly provided for in the Loan Documents);
(7) any release of Borrower or Guarantor (except to the extent expressly provided for in the Loan Documents);
(8) acceptance and approval of a new Borrower;
(9) any amendment to this Section 8.4(b);
(10) any amendment to the definition of Majority Lenders;
(11) any release of any material portion of the collateral securing the Loan (except to the extent expressly provided for in the Loan Documents).
(c) Notwithstanding Section 8.4(a) or Section 8.4(b), the prior consent of the Majority Lenders shall be required for the acceleration of any indebtedness under the Loan Documents, or the pursuit of remedies against the Borrower or Guarantor; provided, however, if the Majority Lenders cannot agree on a course of action within sixty (60) days following notice from Agent, Agent may, without the consent of the Majority Lenders, accelerate the Loan and exercise any and all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law (and in equity) that Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Lenders.
(d) In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Loan shall have occurred, the Agent shall, if (1) so requested by the Majority Lenders and (2) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such
- 71- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
additional indemnities and assurances against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, proceed to enforce the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and exercise all or any such other legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have in respect of enforcement of the Lenders' rights against the Borrower and the Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Majority Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such enforcement, the Lenders (including any Lender which is not one of the Majority Lenders so directing the Agent in writing) hereby agreeing to ratably and severally indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent's compliance with such direction to be unlawful or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction. Lenders also agree, ratably and severally, to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless from all liabilities and expenses incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted to be taken under Section 8.4(c) above should the Majority Lenders not be able to agree upon a course of action within the time period specified therein, and Agent exercises any and all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and applicable law (or in equity) that Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate and in the best interests of the Lenders under the circumstances.
8.5 Payments.
(a) Interest Rates and Disbursement Matters. Lenders and Agent specifically agree to the following operational and administrative procedures as between themselves:
(1) Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone or facsimile of the LIBOR Rate two (2) Business Days prior to the date on which the LIBOR Rate shall be effective. Agent shall notify each Lender by telephone or facsimile of its Commitment Percentage of a proposed Advance of the Loan and the date of such disbursement two (2) Business Days prior to such disbursement with respect to disbursements which are to bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, such notice to be delivered by facsimile. Each Lender shall deposit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Agent's account as specified on Exhibit H hereto the amount of such Commitment Percentage no later than 10:00 a.m. (California time) on the date of such disbursement.
Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later than the close of business (California time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the date for funding in respect of any Advance that such Lender does not intend to make available to Agent such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such Advance, Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to Agent. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Agent such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such Advance, Agent, in its sole discretion, may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender's Commitment Percentage of such Advance. If the amount so funded by Agent is not in fact made available to Agent by the responsible Lender, then such Lender hereby assigns to Agent any payments received by Agent from Borrower in repayment of such amount, together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to such Advance.
- 72- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
(2) If any Lender fails to deliver funds to Agent for a disbursement by the time required by subsection (1) above, such Lender shall pay to Agent interest on such funds at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day (or portion thereof) until such funds are delivered. Any interest paid pursuant to this section shall be divided among the Lenders which funded the applicable disbursement.
(3) Agent shall wire transfer to each Lender at such Lender's account as designated on Exhibit H hereto (or otherwise specified by each Lender) its Commitment Percentage of any payments (to the extent payable pursuant to Section 8.5(b)) within one (1) Business Day of Agent's receipt of such payment. Agent shall pay to the Lenders interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to the Lender.
(4) Any Lender desiring to make a claim for costs or taxes payable by Borrower shall deliver a certificate to Agent setting forth the basis and calculation thereof and the Agent shall forward such certificate to the Borrower. Except as provided in the Loan Documents, each Lender shall be responsible for any taxes payable in respect of amounts paid hereunder. All payments made by Agent to Lenders shall be made without withholding for taxes, charges, or levies, except as may be required by law. Each Lender shall on demand from Agent provide completed and signed copies of certificates required to show exemption of such Lender from United States withholding taxes.
(b) Application of Recoveries. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 8.7 hereof, all payments and proceeds received by Agent in connection with the Loan and the Note and all proceeds from the liquidation of collateral, if any, and from any enforcement action (or other realization), from any source related to the Loan, shall be applied in the following order of priority (unless Agent otherwise agrees in writing, or, during the existence and continuance of an Event of Default, unless Agent and all of the Lenders otherwise agree in writing):
(1) to the reimbursement of any costs incurred by the Agent to administer, enforce, collect or deal with the Loan (including payments made pursuant to Sections 8.5(a)(2) and (3) hereof (or to reimbursement of the Lenders to the extent such costs have been paid by the Lenders);
(2) to the repayment of any Protective Advances (to the extent not paid pursuant to clause (1) above);
(3) to the payment of all interest (including interest calculated at the Default Rate) due and payable on each Note and to the payment of all amounts owing to Swap Counterparty under all Swap Contracts that are secured by the Deeds of Trust (which shall be paid parri passu with interest);
(4) to the payment of fees payable under the Loan Documents;
(5) to the payment of principal of each Note; and
- 73- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
(6) to the payment of any other amounts owing under the Loan Documents.
(c) Excess Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set‑off or otherwise) on account of its interest in the Loan in excess of its Commitment Percentage in the Loan, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise, as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Note held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered by the Borrower or other party entitled thereto through legal action or otherwise, each Lender shall reimburse the party returning such excess payment in an amount equal to such Lender's Commitment Percentage of the excess payment.
(d) Liability for Advances. If in the reasonable opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in material liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Agent shall invest any such undistributed amounts in overnight obligations on behalf of the Lenders and interest thereon shall be paid pro rata to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
8.6 Management of Acquired Collateral. If the Majority Lenders or Agent elect to take title to any of the Properties, whether by the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents or by a consensual agreement with Borrower or otherwise, Agent shall form a limited liability company (the "Ownership LLC") to hold such ownership interest in the Properties. The manager of the Ownership LLC shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of Agent (the "Manager"). The member interests in the Ownership LLC shall be held by Lenders (or their designees or affiliates) in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (the "Members"). The operating agreement for the Ownership LLC shall have terms and provisions similar to this Agreement with respect to the ownership and administration of the Properties (the "Operating Agreement"). The Manager shall have a right to resign, and the Members shall have the right to remove the Manager for cause only under the same terms and conditions as are required for removal or replacement of Agent under Section 8.2(a). The Members shall have voting control of the Ownership LLC in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. The Operating Agreement shall require each Member to fund all amounts due from it in connection with the Ownership LLC with respect to the Properties. If any Member is a designee of a Lender, such Lender shall execute an agreement in favor of the Manager and the other Members guarantying the payment of any indemnity and other payment obligations made by such non-Lender Member in connection with the Ownership LLC (each a "Lender Guaranty" and collectively, the "Lender Guaranties"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Agent determines that, to protect the collateral securing the Loan or to otherwise avoid significant delays, title to any of the Properties should be transferred for the benefit of Lenders
- 74- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
before the ownership structure described above can be completed, then Agent shall have the right to take title to such Properties in the name of its wholly-owned subsidiary, on behalf of itself and each Lender, and thereafter, cause such subsidiary to transfer title to the Ownership LLC as soon as reasonably practicable. The specific terms and provisions of the (A) Operating Agreement and all other agreements, instruments, certificates, articles and other documents evidencing, governing and creating the Ownership LLC (the "Formation Documents"), and (B) Lender Guaranties, if any, shall be subject to the approval of Lenders by vote of the Majority Lenders. If the terms and provisions of any such agreements are so approved and are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, all Lenders or their respective designees, as applicable, shall join in executing and delivering the Formation Documents and the Lender Guaranties, if applicable. Each Lender hereby irrevocably waives any right to seek a partition of any interests in any Property. Prior to entering into the Formation Documents, or if the form or terms thereof are not approved by the Majority Lenders, Agent or its wholly owned subsidiary shall have the sole and exclusive right to make (or to refrain from making) all decisions with respect to, and to perform (or refrain from performing) all actions with respect to, the leasing, encumbering, use, operation, maintenance, improvement, repair and restoration of the Properties (and any Improvements located thereon) or disposition of any other collateral; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Agent or its wholly owned subsidiary shall not, without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, (a) sell (or lease as a whole) any Property or encumber any Property with a mortgage, deed of trust or similar instrument securing indebtedness for borrowed money, or (b) make any single expenditure with respect to any Property in an amount in excess of $500,000 (exclusive of taxes and assessments, insurance premiums, utility charges and expenditures required to comply with applicable laws), (c) make any material repairs, restorations and/or improvements to any Property (except to the extent required by applicable Governmental Requirements) or (d) dispose of any other material collateral. Subject to the foregoing, each Lender, pro rata in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, shall reimburse Agent or its wholly owned subsidiary, as the case may be, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by Agent or its wholly owned subsidiary in connection with the sale, lease, encumbering, use, operation, maintenance, improvement, repair and restoration of any Property (including all costs and expenses incurred by Agent to pay taxes and assessments, utility charges, insurance premiums, common area maintenance charges, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, repair costs and restoration costs). The indemnity provisions contained in Section 8.1(b) above, shall apply equally to actions (and omissions) by Agent or its wholly owned subsidiary with respect to the Properties so acquired by Agent or its wholly owned subsidiary. Each Lender shall participate pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentage in all income, expenses, profits and losses of the Properties. The foregoing provisions of this Section 8.6 shall remain in full force and effect following the entering into of the Formation Documents unless the terms thereof specifically contradict the foregoing provisions. Unless all Lenders otherwise consent in writing, the terms and provisions of the Formation Documents for the Ownership LLC shall be consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.6, this Article 8 and the other applicable provisions of the Loan Documents.
8.7 Defaulting Lender.
(a) Defaults. If for any reason any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent and the other Lenders at
- 75- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
law and in equity, such Defaulting Lender's right to participate in the administration of the Loan and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of the Agent, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that (1) the obligations of the Lenders under this Agreement are several, (2) no Lender is or will be obligated to lend Borrower more than the amount set forth in Exhibit I hereto (or the applicable Assignment and Assumption Agreement) for such Lender, nor to fund any part of any advance except upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions precedent provided herein and in the other Loan Documents, (3) except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement, Borrower shall have no recourse or claim against a non‑defaulting Lender nor against Agent (so long as the same have otherwise complied with their obligations under this Agreement), for any deficiency or any liability, loss, damage or expense resulting from the default of a Defaulting Lender, and (4) the Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make an advance.
(b) Remedies. If for any reason the Defaulting Lender fails to make timely payment to any other party to this Agreement of any amount required to be paid to it hereunder, in addition to other rights and remedies which such other party may have under Section 8.7(a) or otherwise, such other party shall be entitled (1) to collect interest from the Defaulting Lender for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made for each day during such period at the Federal Funds Rate, (2) to withhold or set off, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (3) to bring an action or suit against the Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest, (4) to arrange for the purchase of the Commitment Percentage of the Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 8.7(d), and (5) to advance funds on behalf of the Defaulting Lender as provided in Section 8.7(e).
(c) Indemnity. The Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, and expense (including attorneys' fees) which they may sustain or incur by reason of or in consequence of the Defaulting Lender's failure or refusal to abide by the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Purchase Right. If a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the other Lenders who are not Defaulting Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, in their sole discretion, to acquire (pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders exercising such right) all of such Defaulting Lender's right, title, and interest in and to the Loan. The purchase price shall be the principal and accrued interest allocable to the Defaulting Lender's Commitment Percentage of the Loan and shall be paid on the closing day of such purchase. On the date of closing of such purchase, the Defaulting Lender shall pay the Agent a processing fee of $5,000. The Defaulting Lender shall retain liability for all obligations in respect of the Loan and this Agreement arising prior to the date of transfer and shall execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably necessary to effect such transfer.
(e) Default Loans. If a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the other Lenders may (pro rata based on the Commitment Percentages of the Lenders exercising such
- 76- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
right), but are not obligated to, make advances to the Agent in the aggregate amount that the Defaulting Lender is obligated to advance under this Agreement. Such advances shall be treated as loans made to the Defaulting Lender, shall bear interest at the Default Rate (payable on demand), shall be due and payable upon demand, and shall be paid prior to any payment being made to the Defaulting Lender.
(f) Payments Owed to Defaulting Lender. If a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, any amount payable to such Defaulting Lender under the Loan Documents (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Lender, be retained by Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Agent: (i) first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent hereunder, (ii) second, to the funding of any advances in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Agent, and any related interest as described in Section 8.7(b) above, (iii), third, to the repayment of any default loans described in Section 8.7(e) above, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Agent, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower or the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower or any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(g) Cumulative Remedies and Survival. The exercise of the above remedies shall not reduce, diminish or liquidate the Defaulting Lender's obligation for the sharing of losses and reimbursement of costs, liabilities, and expenses under the Loan Documents and this Agreement. The obligations of the Defaulting Lender arising prior to any purchase pursuant to Section 8.7(d) shall survive any such purchase.
8.8 Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgments.
(a) Authorization, etc. Each Lender represents and warrants, as of the date hereof, as follows:
(1) Such Lender has all necessary corporate power and authority to own its interest in the Loan and the Loan Documents, and has all necessary corporate power and authority to perform its obligations with respect to this Agreement and the Loan Documents;
(2) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and all other instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection therewith by such Lender have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action of such Lender; and
(3) No approval, authorization, order, license or consent of, or registration of filing with, any Governmental Authority or other person is required in connection with such Lender's execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Lender.
(b) Independent Decision. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon any other party hereto, or upon the directors, officers, agents or employees
- 77- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
of any other party hereto, but only in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of the Borrower and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender acknowledges that it has received copies of the Loan Documents and financial statements, certificates, instruments, documents, affidavits, resolutions and agreements as it deems necessary to make its credit analysis and decisions in respect of the Loan. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any other party hereto, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents. Except as specifically provided herein, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.
(c) No Reliance. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that, except as specifically set forth herein, Agent (i) makes no warranty or representation to Lenders for any statements, warranties or representations (written or otherwise, express or implied) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents of for the financial condition of the Borrower or for the title or the value of any of the collateral for the Loan, and (ii) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties herein or for the due execution, effectiveness, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, or collectability of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or in connection with the Loan or the legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency, perfection or priority of any rights in all or any portion of the collateral for the Loan. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or Guarantor or any holder of any Note shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. Agent shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the financial condition of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or any default which, with the giving of notice, passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.
8.9 Assignments; Participation.
(a) Permitted Assignments. Any Lender may, upon the prior approval of Agent and Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to any affiliate of such Lender all or a portion of its respective Commitment Percentage of the Loan, in such a manner as to create privity of contract between such affiliate and the Borrower and to make such affiliate a Lender for all purposes hereunder. Any Lender may, upon the prior approval of Agent (and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the prior approval of Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to any entity which meets the following conditions ("Assignee Lender") all or a portion of its respective Commitment Percentage of the Loan, in such a manner as to create privity of contract between such person and the Borrower and to make such person a Lender for all purposes hereunder:
(1) The minimum portion of the total commitment which the assigning Lender may assign to an Assignee Lender shall be Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00).
- 78- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
(2) Without limiting the power of consent in subsection (4) below, an Assignee Lender (or its direct or indirect parent) shall be either (A) a commercial lender organized under the laws of the United States, or any state thereof, and having total assets in excess of Two Billion Dollars ($2,000,000,000) or (B) a commercial bank organized under the laws of any other country which has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000) or (C) any other financial institution which has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000).
(3) The senior unsecured debt of an Assignee Lender (or its direct or indirect parent) shall have a rating of Baa‑2 (stable outlook) or higher from Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or a comparable rating agency.
(4) Such assignment shall have been approved by Agent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. No sub‑assignments shall be permitted.
(5) The Assignee Lender shall have paid to the Agent an administrative fee of $3,500.00 to process the admission of such Assignee Lender.
(6) The Assignee Lender shall not be Borrower or any of Borrower's Affiliates.
(b) Assignment and Assumption. The Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee Lender (or to an affiliate of such Lender) until such time as (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee Lender (or such affiliate) shall have been given to the Borrower and Agent by the assigning Lender and the Assignee Lender (or such affiliate); (ii) the assigning Lender and the Assignee Lender (or such affiliate) shall have delivered to the Borrower and Agent an Assignment and Assumption.
Upon request, Borrower will execute and deliver to Agent, at Borrower's cost to the extent such costs do not exceed $10,000, an appropriate replacement promissory note or replacement promissory notes in favor of each assignee (and assignor, if such assignor is retaining a portion of its Commitment Percentage and advances) reflecting such assignee's (and assignor's) Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount. Upon execution and delivery of such replacement promissory note(s) the original promissory note or notes evidencing all or a portion of the Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount and advances being assigned shall be canceled and returned to Borrower. For purposes of clarification, if Borrower's costs relating to an Assignment and Assumption exceed $10,000, such costs exceeding $10,000 shall be borne by the Lenders receiving replacement notes pro rata in accordance with such Lenders' Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be required to execute any certifications or similar documents or to provide any representations or warranties confirming the accuracy of any information or otherwise in connection with any assignment or participation.
(c) Notice by Agent. Promptly following receipt by Agent of an executed Assignment and Assumption, Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and to the Lenders of:
- 79- | Loan Agreement (KBS REIT II) |
(i) the effectiveness of the assignment by the assigning Lender to the Assignee Lender (or the affiliate of the Lender); and (ii) the revised percentages and maximum amounts of the Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount in effect as a result of such assignment.
(d) Adjustment of Shares. Immediately upon delivery of the Assignment and Assumption to Agent, this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee Lender (or affiliate of the Lender) and the resulting adjustment of the Commitment Percentage arising therefrom. The Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount assigned to each Assignee Lender (or such affiliate) shall reduce the Commitment Percentage of the Committed Amount of the assigning Lender by a like amount.
(e) Rights of Assignee.
