This indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor.

2.4.5     Change of Office.

The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its Debts as such Debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur Debt and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such Debt and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

Borrower and Lender shall each indemnify and hold harmless the other from and against any loss, liability, cost or expense, including any judgments, attorneys’ fees, or costs of appeal, incurred by the other party and arising out of or relating to any breach or default by the indemnifying party of its representations, warranties and/or agreements set forth in this Section 4.1.38.

Borrower or its predecessors have complied with and performed all of its or their material construction, improvement and alteration obligations with respect to the Property required as of the date hereof and any other obligations under the other REAs, Ground Leases or the Leases that are required as of the date hereof have either been complied with or the failure to comply with the same does not and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The REAs are in full force and effect and neither Borrower nor, to Borrower’s knowledge, any other party to the REAs, is in default thereunder, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no conditions which, with the passage of time 

or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default thereunder. The REAs have not been modified, amended or supplemented except as set forth on Schedule IV. 

Section 4.2     Survival of Representations. Borrower agrees that all of the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be deemed given and made as of the date of the funding of the Loan and survive for so long as any amount remains owing to Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by Borrower or Guarantors unless a longer survival period is expressly stated in a Loan Document with respect to a specific representation or warranty, in which case, for such longer period. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents by Borrower shall be deemed to have been relied upon by Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by Lender or on its behalf.

(i)     furnish to Lender, to the extent not otherwise already furnished to Lender and reasonably acceptable to Lender, all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents;

6.1.1     Property Insurance. Insurance against loss customarily included under so called “All Risk” policies including flood, earthquake, vandalism, and malicious mischief, boiler and machinery, and such other insurable hazards as, under good insurance practices, from time to time are insured against for other property and buildings similar to the Improvements and Building Equipment in nature, use, location, height, and type of construction. Such insurance policy shall also insure the additional expense of demolition and if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, provide coverage for contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements and containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement. The amount of such “All Risk” insurance shall be not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the replacement cost value of the Improvements and the Building Equipment. Each such insurance policy shall contain an agreed amount (coinsurance waiver) and replacement cost value endorsement and shall cover, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments which Borrower is required to insure in accordance with any Lease. Lender shall be named “Loss Payee” on a “Standard Mortgagee Endorsement” and be provided not less than thirty (30) days advance notice of change in coverage, cancellation or non-renewal. 

6.1.2     Liability Insurance. “General Public Liability” insurance, including, without limitation, “Commercial General Liability” insurance; “Owned” (if any), ”Hired” and Non Owned Auto Liability; and “Umbrella Liability coverage for “Personal Injury, “Bodily Injury”, “Death, Accident and Property Damage”, providing in combination no less than $100,000,000 per occurrence and in the annual aggregate. The policies described in this paragraph shall cover, without limitation: elevators, escalators, independent contractors,

“Contractual Liability” (covering, to the maximum extent permitted by law, Borrower’s obligation to indemnify Lender as required under this Agreement and “Products and Completed Operations Liability” coverage). All public liability insurance shall name Lender as “Additional Insured” either on a specific endorsement or under a blanket endorsement satisfactory to Lender. 

6.1.3     Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Workers compensation and disability insurance as required by law. 

6.1.4     Commercial Rents Insurance. “Commercial rents” insurance in an amount equal to twelve (12) months actual rental loss plus a twelve (12) month extended period of indemnity endorsement and with a limit of liability sufficient to avoid any co-insurance penalty and to provide Proceeds which will cover the actual loss of profits and rents sustained during the period of at least eighteen (18) months following the date of casualty. Such policies of insurance shall be subject only to exclusions that are acceptable to Lender and, if the Loan is the subject of a Securitization, the Rating Agencies; provided, however, that such exclusions are reasonably consistent with those required for loans similar to the Loan provided herein. Such insurance shall be deemed to include “loss of rental value” insurance where applicable. The term “rental value” means the sum of (A) the total then ascertainable Rents payable under the Leases and (B) the total ascertainable amount of all other amounts to be received by Borrower from third parties which are the legal obligation of Tenants, reduced to the extent such amounts would not be received because of operating expenses not incurred during a period of non-occupancy of that portion of such Property then not being occupied.

During any period of repair or restoration, builder’s “All-Risk” insurance in an amount equal to not less than the full insurable value of the relevant Individual Property against such risks (including so called “All Risk” perils coverage and collapse of the Improvements to agreed limits as Lender may request, in form and substance acceptable to Lender).

Comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance (without exclusion for explosion) covering all mechanical and electrical equipment against physical damage, rent loss and improvements loss and covering, without limitation, all tenant improvements and betterments that Borrower is required to insure pursuant to any Lease on a replacement cost basis. The minimum amount of limits to be provided shall be $10,000,000 per accident. 

6.1.7     Flood Insurance. If any portion of the Improvements is located within an area designated as “flood prone” or a “special flood hazard area” (as defined under the regulations adopted under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 and the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973), flood insurance shall be provided, in an amount not less than the maximum limit of coverage available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan with respect to the Property. Lender reserves the right to require flood insurance in excess of that available under the Federal Flood Insurance plan. 

6.1.8     Terrorism Insurance. Terrorism insurance, including insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals, in the amount equal to the Principal Amount in form and substance acceptable to Lender. Borrower agrees that if any property insurance policy covering the Property provides for any exclusions of coverage for acts of terrorism, then a separate terrorism insurance policy in the coverage amount required under this Section and in form and substance acceptable to Lender will be obtained by Borrower for the Property. 

6.1.9     Environmental Insurance. Environmental liability insurance policies, which shall be non-cancelable at any time prior to the Maturity Date, against any and all claims, including, without limitation, unknown environmental hazards requiring remediation as of the date of this Agreement and known environmental conditions not requiring remediation as of the date of this Agreement, in an amount of not less than $5,000,000 per loss or $30,000,000 in the aggregate arising out of or connected with the presence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property. Lender shall be named in such environmental insurance as an additional named insured and the environmental insurance policy shall provide that it shall be assignable to Lender upon a foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of the Mortgage.

6.1.11     Ratings of Insurers. Borrower shall maintain the insurance coverage described in Section 6.1.1 through Section 6.1.10, in all cases, with one or more domestic primary insurers reasonably acceptable to Lender, having both (x) claims-paying-ability and financial strength ratings by S&P of not less than “A” and its equivalent by the other Rating Agencies, provided that, with respect to any layered or quota share insurance policy for the insurance that is issued by more than five (5) insurers, the requirements of this clause (x) will be satisfied if at least sixty percent (60%) of the limits provided shall be with insurers that meet such claims-paying-ability and financial strength ratings, and (y) an Alfred M. Best Company, Inc. (Best) rating of “A” or better and a financial size category of not less than “X”, provided that, with respect to any layered or quota share insurance policy for the insurance that is issued by more than five (5) insurers, the requirements of this clause (y) will be satisfied if at least sixty percent (60%) of the limits provided shall be with insurers that meet such rating and financial size category standards. All insurers providing insurance required by this Agreement shall be authorized to issue insurance in the State. 

6.1.12     Form of Insurance Policies; Endorsements.

All policies shall name Lender as an additional insured, shall provide that all Proceeds (except with respect to Proceeds of general liability and workers’ compensation insurance) be payable to Lender as and to the extent set forth in Section 6.2, and shall contain: (i) a standard “non-contributory mortgagee” endorsement or its equivalent relating, inter alia, to recovery by Lender notwithstanding the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Borrower; (ii) a waiver of subrogation endorsement in favor of Lender; (iii) an endorsement providing that no policy shall be impaired or invalidated by virtue of any act, failure to act, negligence of, or violation of declarations, warranties or conditions contained in such policy by Borrower, Lender or any other named insured, additional insured or loss payee, except for the willful misconduct of Lender knowingly in violation of the conditions of such policy; (iv) an endorsement providing for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of the Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (v) a provision that such policies shall not be canceled, terminated or expire without at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender, in each instance. No insurance policy required hereunder shall include any so called “terrorist exclusion” or similar exclusion or exception to insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals. Each insurance policy shall contain a provision whereby the insurer: (i) agrees that such policy shall not be canceled or terminated, the coverage, deductible, and limits of such policy shall not be modified, other provisions of such policy shall not be modified if such policy, after giving effect to such modification, would not satisfy the requirements of this Agreement, and such policy shall not be canceled or fail to be renewed, without in each case, at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, (ii) waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured, and (iii) provides that Lender at its option, shall be permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to nonpayment of premiums. In the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the Property for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

6.1.13     Certificates. Borrower shall deliver to Lender annually, concurrently with the renewal of the insurance policies required hereunder, a certificate from Borrower’s insurance agent stating that the insurance policies required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 6.1 are maintained with insurers who comply with the terms of Section 6.1.11, setting forth a schedule describing all premiums required to be paid by Borrower to maintain the policies of insurance required under this Section 6.1, and stating that Borrower has paid such premiums. Certificates of insurance with respect to all replacement policies shall be delivered to Lender not less than fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the expiration date of any of

the insurance policies required to be maintained hereunder which certificates shall bear notations evidencing payment of applicable premiums. Upon the request of Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender originals (or certified copies) of such replacement insurance policies on or before the earlier to occur of (i) ninety (90) days after the request therefor from Lender and (ii) five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt thereof. If Borrower fails to maintain and deliver to Lender the certificates of insurance and certified copies or originals required by this Agreement, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may procure such insurance, and all costs thereof (and interest thereon at the Default Rate) shall be added to the Indebtedness. Lender shall not, by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining or failing to obtain any insurance, incur any liability for or with respect to the amount of insurance carried, the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurance companies, or payment or defense of lawsuits, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, with respect to such matters. Borrower agrees that any replacement insurance policy required hereunder shall not include any so called “terrorist exclusion” or similar exclusion or exception to insurance coverage relating to the acts of terrorist groups or individuals. 

6.1.14     Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not take out separate insurance contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained pursuant to this Section 6.1 unless such insurance complies with this Section 6.1. 

6.1.15     Blanket Policies. The insurance coverage required under this Section 6.1 may be effected under a blanket policy or policies covering the Property and other properties and assets not constituting a part of the Property; provided that any such blanket policy shall specify, except in the case of public liability insurance, the portion of the total coverage of such policy that is allocated to the Property, and any sublimits in such blanket policy applicable to the Property, which amounts shall not be less than the amounts required pursuant to this Section 6.1 and which shall in any case comply in all other respects with the requirements of this Section 6.1.

In addition, each such notice shall set forth such good faith estimate of the cost of repairing or restoring such casualty, damage, injury or Taking in reasonable detail if the same is then available and, if not, as soon thereafter as it can reasonably be provided.

6.2.2     Proceeds. In the event of any Taking of or any casualty or other damage or injury to the Property, Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, causes and rights of action (whether accrued prior to or after the date hereof) and payments which Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Property or any part thereof other than payments received in connection with any liability or loss of rental value or business interruption insurance (collectively, Proceeds), in connection with any such Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned by Borrower to Lender and, except as otherwise herein provided, shall be paid to the Lender. Borrower shall, in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, file and prosecute the adjustment, compromise or settlement of any claim for Proceeds and, subject to Borrower’s right to receive the direct payment of any Proceeds as herein provided, will cause the same to be paid directly to Lender to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower may settle any insurance claim with respect to Proceeds which does not exceed the Casualty Amount. Whether or not an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall have the right to approve, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, any settlement which might result in any Proceeds in excess of the Casualty Amount and Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to permit such approval. Borrower shall pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, fees and expenses reasonably incurred by Lender (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, the reasonable fees of insurance experts and adjusters and reasonable costs incurred in any litigation or arbitration), and interest thereon at the Default Rate to the extent not paid within ten (10) Business Days after delivery of a request for reimbursement by Lender accompanied by an invoice and other evidence of such costs, fees and expenses in connection with the settlement of any claim for Proceeds and seeking and obtaining of any payment on account thereof in accordance with the foregoing provisions. If any Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to this Section 6.2, such Proceeds shall, until the completion of the related Work, be held in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to be used to pay for the cost of the Work in accordance with the terms hereof, and in the event such Proceeds exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds shall be forthwith paid directly to and held by Lender in the Proceeds Reserve Account in trust for Borrower, in each case to be applied or disbursed in accordance with this Section 6.2. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, or if Borrower fails to file and/or prosecute any insurance claim for a period of fifteen (15) Business Days following Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Lender, Borrower hereby irrevocably empowers Lender, in the name of Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, to file and prosecute such claim (including settlement thereof) with counsel satisfactory to Lender and to collect and to make receipt for any such payment, all at Borrower’s expense (including payment of interest at the Default Rate for any amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Section 6.2). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, to the extent any Proceeds do not exceed the Casualty Amount, such Proceeds are to be paid directly to Borrower to be applied to restoration of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (except that Proceeds

paid in respect of the insurance described in Section 6.1.4 shall be deposited directly to the Collection Account as revenue of the Property). 

6.2.3     Lender to Take Proceeds. If (i) the Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Principal Amount; (ii) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (iii) a Total Loss with respect to the Property shall have occurred; (iv) the Work is not capable of being completed before the earlier to occur of the date which is six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date and the date on which the business interruption insurance carried by Borrower with respect to the Property shall expire (the Cut-Off Date), unless on or prior to the Cut-Off Date the Borrower (x) shall deliver to the Lender and there shall remain in effect a binding written offer, subject only to customary conditions, of an Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank reasonably satisfactory to Lender duly authorized to originate loans secured by real property located in the State for a loan from such Approved Bank or such other financial institution or investment bank to the Borrower in a principal amount of not less than either (1) the then Principal Amount, and Borrower shall be required to repay the Principal Amount and all other amounts due on the Maturity Date, or (2) the Release Price (when combined with the Proceeds related to the affected Individual Properties) applicable to the affected Individual Properties, and Borrower shall be required to obtain a Property Release in accordance with the terms of Section 8.7 with respect to the affected Individual Properties prior to the expiration of the business interruption insurance (in which event Borrower shall have the right to apply the applicable Proceeds to the payments required in connection with such Property Release) and (y) if a Securitization shall have occurred, shall obtain a Rating Agency Confirmation; (v) the Property is not capable of being restored substantially to its condition prior to such Taking or casualty and such incapacity shall have a Material Adverse Effect; (vi) Leases demising in the aggregate less than 50% of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the restoration; and (vii) Lender reasonably determines that upon the completion of the restoration, the gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Property will not be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, debt service on the Note at a coverage ratio (after deducting all required reserves as required by Lender from net operating income) of at least 2.0 to 1.0, which coverage ratio shall be determined by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion; then in any such case, all Proceeds shall be paid over to Lender (if not paid directly to Lender) and any Proceeds remaining after reimbursement of Lender’s or its agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred in connection with recovery of any such Proceeds (including, without limitation, reasonable out-of-pocket administrative costs and inspection fees) shall be applied by Lender to prepay the Note (without payment of any Liquidated Damages Amount), except to the extent Borrower is required to apply such Proceeds to restore the Property pursuant to the BofA Lease and does not have the right to elect not to restore the Property in accordance with the provisions thereof and the balance, if any shall be paid to Borrower and, if such Proceeds shall equal or exceed the Release Price applicable to the affected Individual Property, such payment shall be treated as payment of such Release Price and, upon satisfaction of the requirements of Section 8.7 (other than Section 8.7 (i), (ii), (vi) and (vii), such Individual Property shall be a Release Property. 

6.2.4     Borrower to Restore.

(a) Promptly after the occurrence of any damage or destruction to all or any portion of the Property or a Taking of a portion of the Property, Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute, or cause to be commenced and diligently prosecuted, to completion, subject to Excusable Delays, the repair, restoration and rebuilding of the Property (in the case of a partial Taking, to the extent it is capable of being restored) so damaged, destroyed or remaining after such Taking in full compliance with all material Legal Requirements and free and clear of any and all Liens except Permitted Encumbrances (such repair, restoration and rebuilding are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the Work). The plans and specifications shall require that the Work be done in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character prior to the damage or destruction (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Taking, the Property restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Taking), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to any partial Taking of, or casualty or other damage or injury to, the Property, if the Work actually performed, if any, or failed to be performed, shall have no Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property from the value that the Property would have had if the same had been restored to its condition immediately prior to such Taking or casualty. Subject to Borrower’s rights pursuant to Section 2.3.3 to cause the Property to be released from the Liens of the Security Instrument, Borrower shall be obligated to restore the Property suffering a casualty or which has been subject to a partial Taking in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.2 at Borrower’s sole cost and expense whether or not the Proceeds shall be sufficient, provided that, if applicable, the Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower by Lender in accordance with this Agreement. 

(b) If Proceeds are not required to be applied toward payment of the Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.2.3, then Lender shall make the Proceeds which it is holding pursuant to the terms hereof (after payment of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by Lender in connection with the collection thereof plus interest thereon at the Default Rate (from the date advanced through the date of reimbursement) to the extent the same are not paid within ten (10) Business Days after request for reimbursement by Lender) available to Borrower for payment of or reimbursement of Borrower’s or the applicable Tenant’s expenses incurred with respect to the Work, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in paragraphs (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) below and in Section 6.2.5: 

(i) at the time of loss or damage or at any time thereafter while Borrower is holding any portion of the Proceeds, there shall be no continuing Event of Default; 

(ii) if, at any time, the estimated cost of the Work (as estimated by the Independent Architect referred to in clause (iii) below) shall exceed the Proceeds (a Deficiency) and for so long as a Deficiency shall exist, Lender shall not be required to make any Proceeds

disbursement to Borrower unless Borrower delivers to Lender evidence of Borrower’s ability to meet such excess costs and which is reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to the Rating Agencies; 

(iii)     Each of Lender and the Independent Architect shall have reasonably approved the plans and specifications for the Work and any change orders in connection with such plans and specifications; and 

(iv)     Lender shall, within a reasonable period of time prior to request for initial disbursement, be furnished with an estimate of the cost of the Work accompanied by an Independent Architect’s certification as to such costs and appropriate plans and specifications for the Work. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable Legal Requirements including zoning, environmental and building laws, codes, ordinances and regulations. 

(a)     Disbursements of the Proceeds in Cash or Cash Equivalents to Borrower hereunder shall be made from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any month) by Lender but only for so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, as the Work progresses upon receipt by Lender of (i) an Officer’s Certificate dated not more than ten (10) Business Days prior to the application for such payment, (1) requesting such payment or reimbursement, (2) describing the Work performed that is the subject of such request, the parties that performed such Work and the actual cost thereof, (3) certifying that such Work and materials are or, upon disbursement of the payment requested to the parties entitled thereto, will be free and clear of Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances, and (4) certifying that no notices of pendancy, stop orders, mechanic’s liens or notices of intention to file same (unless the same is required by the applicable state law as a condition to the payment of a contractor) or any liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the work exist which have not been either fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender, discharged of record, or fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company that issued the Title Policy; (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with such Work have been paid for in full; and (iii) an Independent Architect’s certificate certifying performance of the Work together with an estimate of the cost to complete the Work. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Work, as certified by the Independent Architect, except for payment made to contractors whose Work shall have been fully completed and from which final lien waivers have been received, shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the Work performed and materials furnished and incorporated into the Improvements from time to time, and at all times the undisbursed balance of said Proceeds together with all amounts deposited, bonded, guaranteed or otherwise provided for pursuant to Section 6.2.4(b) above, shall be at least sufficient to pay for the estimated cost of completion of the Work; final payment of all Proceeds remaining with Lender shall be made upon receipt by Lender of a certification by an Independent Architect, as to the completion of the Work substantially in accordance with the submitted plans

and specifications, final lien releases, and the filing of a notice of completion and the expiration of the period provided under the law of the applicable State for the filing of mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens which are entitled to priority as to other creditors, encumbrances and purchasers, as certified pursuant to an Officer’s Certificate, and delivery of a certificate of occupancy with respect to the Work, or, if not applicable, an Officer’s Certificate to the effect that a certificate of occupancy is not required. 

(b)     If, after the Work is completed in accordance with the provisions hereof and Lender receives evidence that all costs of completion have been paid, there are excess Proceeds, Lender shall apply such excess Proceeds with respect to the Taking of or casualty to the Property to the payment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Indebtedness secured hereby without penalty or premium, and any balance thereof, shall be paid over to Borrower. 

Section 7.1     Borrower to Pay Impositions and Other Charges. Except for any Impositions to be paid directly by Bank of America, N.A. pursuant to the BofA Lease, Borrower shall pay all Impositions now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof prior to the imposition of any interest, charges or expenses for the non-payment thereof and shall pay all Other Charges on or before the date they are due. Borrower shall deliver to Lender annually, no later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the first day of each fiscal year of Borrower, and shall update as new information is received, a schedule describing all Impositions, payable or estimated to be payable during such fiscal year attributable to or affecting the Property or Borrower. Subject to Borrower’s right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Lender, on behalf of Borrower, shall pay or direct the Cash Management Bank to pay, all Impositions and Other Charges which are attributable to or affect the Property or Borrower, prior to the date such Impositions or Other Charges shall become delinquent or late charges may be imposed thereon, directly to the applicable taxing authority with respect thereto, to the extent funds in the Tax Reserve Account are sufficient to pay such Impositions. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Security Instrument shall be construed to require Borrower to pay any tax, assessment, levy or charge imposed on Lender in the nature of a franchise, capital levy, estate, inheritance, succession, income or net revenue tax.

Section 7.2     No Liens. Subject to its right of contest set forth in Section 7.3, Borrower shall at all times keep, or cause to be kept, the Property free from all Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances) and shall pay when due and payable (or bond over) all claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers and others which, if unpaid, might result in or permit the creation of a Lien on the Property or any portion thereof and shall in any event cause the prompt, full and unconditional discharge of all Liens imposed on or against the Property or any portion thereof within forty-five (45) days after receiving written notice of the filing (whether from Lender, the lienor or any other Person) thereof Borrower shall do or cause to be done, at the sole cost of Borrower, everything reasonably necessary to fully preserve the first priority of the Liens of the Security Instrument against the Property, subject to the Permitted Encumbrances. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to its 

Obligations as set forth in this Article VII, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or discharge such Lien, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender on demand for all such advances pursuant to Section 19.12 (together with interest thereon at the Default Rate). 

Section 7.3     Contest. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require Borrower to pay, or cause to be paid, any Imposition or to satisfy any Lien, or to comply with any Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement, so long as Borrower is in good faith, and by proper legal proceedings, where appropriate, diligently contesting the validity, amount or application thereof, provided that in each case, at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding, and during the pendency of such action or proceeding (i) no Event of Default shall exist and be continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower shall keep Lender informed of the status of such contest at reasonable intervals, (iii) if Borrower is not providing security as provided in clause (vi) below, adequate reserves with respect thereto are maintained on Borrower’s books in accordance with GAAP or in the Tax Reserve Account or Insurance Reserve Account, as applicable, (iv) either such contest operates to suspend collection or enforcement as the case may be, of the contested Imposition, Lien or Legal Requirement and such contest is maintained and prosecuted continuously and with diligence or the Imposition or Lien is bonded, (v) in the case of any Insurance Requirement, the failure of Borrower to comply therewith shall not impair the validity of any insurance required to be maintained by Borrower under Section 6.1 or the right to full payment of any claims there under, and (vi) in the case of Impositions and Liens which are not bonded in excess of $500,000 individually, or in the aggregate, during such contest, Borrower, shall deposit with or deliver to Lender either Cash and Cash Equivalents or a Letter or Letters of Credit in an amount equal to 125% of (A) the amount of Borrower’s obligations being contested plus (B) any additional interest, charge, or penalty arising from such contest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the creation of any such reserves or the furnishing of any bond or other security, Borrower promptly shall comply with any contested Legal Requirement or Insurance Requirement or shall pay any contested Imposition or Lien, and compliance therewith or payment thereof shall not be deferred, if, at any time the Property or any portion thereof shall be, in Lender’s reasonable judgment, in imminent danger of being forfeited or lost or Lender is likely to be subject to civil or criminal damages as a result thereof. If such action or proceeding is terminated or discontinued adversely to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Lender reasonable evidence of Borrower’s compliance with such contested Imposition, Lien, Legal Requirements or Insurance Requirements, as the case may be. 

Section 8.1     Restrictions on Transfers. Unless such action is permitted by the provisions of this Article VIII, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any other Person holding any direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower or the Property to, except with the prior written consent of Lender, (i) Transfer all or any part of the Property, (ii) incur any Debt, other than Permitted Debt or Permitted Encumbrances, (iii) permit any Transfer (directly or indirectly) of any interest in Borrower, or (iv) permit any merger, consolidation or reorganization of Borrower, First States Investors 5000, LLC, First States Group, L.P. or American Financial Realty Trust.  

Section 8.2     Sale of Building Equipment. Borrower may Transfer or dispose of Building Equipment which is being replaced or which is no longer necessary in connection with the operation of the Property free from the Liens of the Security Instrument provided that such Transfer or disposal will not have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole, will not materially impair the utility of the Property, and will not result in a reduction or abatement of, or right of offset against, the Rents payable under any Lease, in either case as a result thereof, and provided further that any new Building Equipment acquired by Borrower (and not so disposed of) shall be subject to the Liens of the Security Instrument. Lender shall, from time to time, upon receipt of an Officer’s Certificate requesting the same and confirming satisfaction of the conditions set forth above, execute a written instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender to confirm that such Building Equipment which is to be, or has been, sold or disposed of is free from the Liens of the Security Instrument. 

Section 8.3     Immaterial Transfers and Easements, etc. Borrower may, without the consent of Lender, (i) make immaterial Transfers of portions of the Property to Governmental Authorities for dedication or public use (subject to the provisions of Section 6.2) or, portions of the Property to third parties for the purpose of erecting and operating additional structures whose use is integrated with the use of the Property, and (ii) grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way in the ordinary course of business for access, water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines or other utilities or for other similar purposes, provided that no such Transfer, conveyance or encumbrance set forth in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall materially impair the utility and operation of the Property or have a Material Adverse Effect on the value of the Property taken as a whole. In connection with any Transfer permitted pursuant to this Section 8.3, Lender shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate, in the case of the Transfers referred to in clause (i) above, to release the portion of the Property affected by such Taking or such Transfer from the Liens of the Security Instrument or, in the case of clause (ii) above, to subordinate the Lien of a Security Instrument to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants upon receipt by Lender of:

(a)     a copy of the instrument or instruments of Transfer; 

(b)     an Officer’s Certificate stating (x) with respect to any Transfer, the consideration, if any, being paid for the Transfer and (y) that such Transfer does not materially impair the utility and operation of the Property, materially reduce the value of the Property or have a Material Adverse Effect; and 

(c)     reimbursement of all of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer.

8.8.1     New Leases and Lease Modifications. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.8, Borrower shall not (x) enter into any Lease (a New Lease) or (y) consent to the assignment of any Lease (unless required to do so by the terms of such Lease) that releases the original Tenant from its obligations under the Lease, or (z) modify any Lease, accept a surrender of any portion of the Property subject to a Lease (unless such surrender is required by law or the applicable Lease), allow a reduction in the term of any Lease or a reduction in the Rent payable under any Lease, change any renewal provisions of any Lease, materially increase the obligations of the landlord or materially decrease the obligations of any Tenant, or terminate any Lease (any such action referred to in clauses (y) and (z) being referred to herein as a Lease Modification) without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Environmental Event with respect to the Property or an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to have its consultants perform a comprehensive environmental audit of the Property. Such audit shall be conducted by an environmental consultant chosen by Lender and may include a visual survey, a record review, an area reconnaissance assessing the presence of hazardous or toxic waste or substances, PCBs or storage tanks at the Property, an asbestos survey of the Property, which may include random sampling of the Improvements and air quality testing, and such further site assessments as Lender may reasonably require due to the results obtained from the foregoing. Borrower grants Lender, its agents, consultants and contractors the right to enter the Property as reasonable or appropriate for the circumstances for the purposes of performing such studies and the reasonable cost of such studies shall be due and payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and shall be secured by the Liens of the Security Instrument. Lender shall not unreasonably interfere with, and Lender shall direct the environmental consultant to use its commercially reasonable efforts not to interfere with, Borrower's or any Tenant's, other occupant's or Manager's operations upon the Property when conducting such audit, sampling or inspections. By undertaking any of the measures identified in and pursuant to this Section 12.3, Lender shall not be deemed to be exercising any control over the operations of Borrower or the handling of any environmental matter or hazardous wastes or substances of Borrower for purposes of incurring or being subject to liability therefor.

Section 12.4     Environmental Indemnification. Borrower shall protect, indemnify, save, defend, and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, actions, causes of action, costs or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) and any and all claims, suits and judgments which any Indemnified Party may suffer, as a result of or with respect to: (a) any Environmental Claim relating to or arising from the Property; (b) the violation of any Environmental Law in connection with the Property; (c) any release, spill, or the presence of any Hazardous Materials affecting the Property; (d) the presence at, in, on or under, or the release, escape, seepage, leakage, discharge or migration at or from, the Property of any Hazardous Materials, whether or not such condition was known or unknown to Borrower and (e) any toxic mold contamination at or affecting any Individual Property; provided that, in each case, Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation under this subsection if any of the matters referred to in clauses (a) through (e) above did not occur (but

need not have been discovered) prior to (1) the foreclosure of any Security Instrument, (2) the delivery by Borrower to Lender or its designee of a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure with respect to the Property, or (3) Lender's or its designee's taking possession and control of the Property after the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. If any such action or other proceeding shall be brought against Lender, upon written notice from Borrower to Lender (given reasonably promptly following Lender's notice to Borrower of such action or proceeding), Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, at Borrower's expense, with counsel reasonably acceptable to Lender; provided, however, Lender may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense, but such participation shall not be deemed to give Lender a right to control such defense, which right Borrower expressly retains. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at Borrower's expense if, in the reasonable opinion of legal counsel, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Borrower that would make such separate representation advisable. Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify an Indemnified Party for damage or loss resulting from such Indemnified Party's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 12.5     Recourse Nature of Certain Indemnifications. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the indemnification provided in Section 12.4 shall be fully recourse to Borrower and shall be independent of, and shall survive, the discharge of the Indebtedness, the release of the Liens created by the Security Instrument, and/or the conveyance of title to the Property to Lender or any purchaser or designee in connection with a foreclosure of any Security Instrument or conveyance in lieu of foreclosure.

XIII.     THE GROUND LEASES

Section 13.1     Leasehold Representations, Warranties. Borrower hereby represents and warrants as follows with respect to each Ground Lease:

(a)         Each Ground Lease is in full force and effect, unmodified by any writing or otherwise, and Borrower has not waived, canceled or surrendered any of its rights thereunder;

(b)         all rent, additional rent and/or other charges reserved in or payable under the Ground Leases have been paid to the extent that they are payable to the date hereof;

(c)         Borrower enjoys the quiet and peaceful possession of the Leasehold Estates;

(d)         Borrower has not delivered or received any notices of default under any Ground Lease and to the best of Borrower's knowledge is not in default under any of the terms of any Ground Lease, and there are no circumstances which, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default under any Ground Lease;

(e)         No Fee Owner is in default under any of the terms of any Ground Lease on

its part to be observed and performed;

(f)         Borrower has delivered to Lender a true, accurate and complete copy of the Ground Leases; and

(g)         or any Fee Owner. Borrower knows of no adverse claim to the title or possession of Borrower

Section 13.2     Cure by Lender. In the event of a default by Borrower in the performance of any of its obligations under any Ground Lease, including, without limitation, any default in the payment of any sums payable thereunder, then, in each and every such case, Lender may, at its option, cause the default or defaults to be remedied and otherwise exercise any and all rights of Borrower thereunder in the name of and on behalf of Borrower. Borrower shall, on demand, reimburse Lender for all advances made and expenses incurred by Lender in curing any such default (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), together with interest thereon computed at the Default Rate from the date that such advance is made to and including the date the same is paid to Lender.

Section 13.3     Option to Renew or Extend the Ground Leases. Borrower shall give Lender written notice of its intention not to exercise each and every option, if any, to renew or extend the term of each Ground Lease, at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the time to exercise such option under the terms thereof. If required by Lender, Borrower shall duly exercise any renewal or extension option with respect to any Ground Lease if Lender reasonably determines that the exercise of such option is necessary to protect Lender's security for the Loan. If Borrower intends to renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease, it shall deliver to Lender, with the notice of such decision, a copy of the notice of renewal or extension delivered to the applicable Fee Owner, together with the terms and conditions of such renewal or extension. If Borrower does not renew or extend the term of any Ground Lease, Lender may, at its option, exercise the option to renew or extend in the name of and on behalf of Borrower. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to execute and deliver, for and in the name of Borrower, all instruments and agreements necessary under the Ground Leases or otherwise to cause any renewal or extension of the Ground Leases.

Section 13.4     Ground Lease Covenants.

13.4.1     Waiver of Interest In New Ground Lease. In the event any Ground Lease shall be terminated by reason of a default thereunder by Borrower and Lender shall require from the applicable Fee Owner a new ground lease, Borrower hereby waives any right, title and interest in and to such new ground lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, waiving all rights of redemption now or hereafter operable under any law.

13.4.2     No Election to Terminate. Borrower shall not elect to treat any Ground Lease as terminated, canceled or surrendered pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, Section 365(h)(1) thereof) without Lender's prior written consent in the event of any Fee Owner's bankruptcy. In addition, Borrower shall, in the event of any Fee Owner's bankruptcy, reaffirm and ratify the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the applicable Ground Lease and shall remain in possession of the applicable Property and the applicable Leasehold Estate, notwithstanding any rejection thereof by such Fee Owner or any trustee, custodian or receiver.

13.4.3     Notice Prior to Rejection. Borrower shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice of the date on which Borrower shall apply to any court or other governmental authority for authority and permission to reject any Ground Lease in the event that there shall be filed by or against Borrower any petition, action or proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or under any other similar federal or state law now or hereafter in effect and if Borrower determines to reject any Ground Lease. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to serve upon Borrower within such thirty (30) day period a notice stating that (i) Lender demands that Borrower assume and assign such Ground Lease to Lender subject to and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, and (ii) Lender covenants to cure or provide reasonably adequate assurance thereof with respect to all defaults reasonably susceptible of being cured by Lender and of future performance under such Ground Lease. If Lender serves upon Borrower the notice described above, Borrower shall not seek to reject such Ground Lease and shall comply with the demand provided for clause (i) above within fifteen (15) days after the notice shall have been given by Lender.

13.4.4     Lender Right to Perform. During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, (i) to perform and comply with all obligations of Borrower under the Ground Leases without relying on any grace period provided therein, (ii) to do and take, without any obligation to do so, such actions as Lender deems necessary or desirable to prevent or cure any default by Borrower under any Ground Lease, including, without limitation, any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever that Borrower may do in order to cure a default under the Ground Leases and (iii) to enter in and upon the Property or any part thereof to such extent and as often as Lender deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or cure any default of Borrower under the Ground Leases. Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after written request is made therefor by Lender, execute and deliver to Lender or to any party designated by Lender, such further instruments, agreements, powers, assignments, conveyances or the like as may be reasonably necessary to complete or perfect the interest, rights or powers of Lender pursuant to this Section or as may otherwise be required by Lender.

13.4.5     Lender Attorney in Fact. In the event of any arbitration under or pursuant to any Ground Lease in which Lender elects to participate, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact (which appointment shall be deemed coupled with an interest) to exercise, during the continuance of an Event of Default, all right, title and interest of Borrower in connection with such arbitration, including, without limitation, the right to appoint arbitrators and to conduct arbitration proceedings on behalf of Borrower and

Lender. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such arbitration and the settlement thereof shall be borne solely by Borrower, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements. Nothing contained in this Section shall obligate Lender to participate in any such arbitration.

13.4.6     No Defaults. Borrower shall not do, permit or suffer any event or omission as a result of which there could occur a default by the Borrower under the Ground Leases or any event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by the Borrower under any Ground Lease which could permit any party to a Ground Lease validly to terminate such Ground Lease (including, without limitation, a default in any payment obligation), and Borrower shall obtain the consent or approval of the applicable Fee Owner to the extent required pursuant to the terms of any Ground Lease.

13.4.7     No Modification. Borrower shall not cancel, terminate, surrender, modify or amend or in any way alter, surrender all or any portion of the Property, permit the alteration of any of the provisions of any Ground Lease or agree to any termination, amendment, modification or surrender of any Ground Lease in a manner that materially increases Borrower's obligations or materially decreases Borrower's rights without Lender's prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

13.4.8     Notices of Default. Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of any notice of default by any party under any Ground Lease, or of any notice from any Fee Owner of its intention to terminate any Ground Lease or to re-enter and take possession of any portion of the Property, immediately upon delivery or receipt of such notice, as the case may be.

13.4.9     Delivery of Information. Borrower shall promptly furnish to Lender copies of such information and evidence as Lender may request concerning Borrower's due observance, performance and compliance with the terms, covenants and conditions of the Ground Leases.

13.4.10     No Subordination. Borrower shall not consent to the subordination of any Ground Lease to any mortgage or other lease of the fee interest in any portion of the Property.

13.4.11     Further Assurances. Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall execute and deliver to Lender, within five (5) Business Days after request, such documents, instruments or agreements as may be required to permit Lender to cure any default under the Ground Leases.

13.4.12     Estoppel Certificates. Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Lender within twenty (20) days after written demand by Lender but no more than once in any calendar year, an estoppel certificate from each Fee Owner designated by Lender setting forth (i) the name of the lessee and the lessor thereunder, (ii) that the applicable Ground Lease is in full force and effect and has not been modified or, if it has been

modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), (iii) the date to which all rental charges have been paid by the lessee under the applicable Ground Lease, (iv) whether there are any alleged defaults of the lessee under the applicable Ground Lease and, if there are, setting forth the nature thereof in reasonable detail, (v) if the lessee under the applicable Ground Lease shall be in default, the default and (vi) such other matters as Lender shall reasonably request.

Section 13.5     Lender Right to Participate. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to proceed in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Ground Lease by any Fee Owner as a result of a Fee Owner's bankruptcy, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute any and all proofs of claims, complaints, notices and other documents in any case in respect of such Fee Owner under and pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 13.6     No Liability. Lender shall have no liability or obligation under any Ground Lease by reason of its acceptance of the Security Instrument, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Lender shall be liable for the obligations of the lessee arising under any Ground Lease for only that period of time during which Lender is in possession of the portion of the Property covered by such Ground Lease or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Borrower's right, title and interest therein.

Section 14.1     Sale of Note and Securitization. At the request of Lender and, to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to satisfy the market standards which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with the sale of the Note or participation therein as part of the first successful securitization (such sale and/ or securitization, the Securitization) of rated single or multi-class securities (the Securities) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and this Agreement, including using reasonable efforts to do (or cause to be done) the following (but Borrower will not in any event be required to enter into an amendment that does not satisfy the Amendment Conditions)):

14.1.1     Provided Information. (i) Provide such non-confidential financial and other information (but not projections) with respect to the Property, Borrower, each Guarantor, Manager and Bank of America, N.A. to the extent such information is reasonably available to Borrower, Guarantors, or Manager, (ii) provide business plans (but not projections) and budgets relating to the Property and (iii) cooperate with the holder of the Note (and its representatives) in obtaining such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies (all information provided pursuant to this Section 14.1 together with all other information heretofore provided to Lender in connection with the Loan, as such may be updated, at Borrower's request, in connection with a Securitization, or hereafter provided by or on behalf

of Borrower to Lender in connection with the Loan or a Securitization, being herein collectively called the Provided Information);

14.1.2     Opinions of Counsel. Use reasonable efforts to cause to be rendered such customary Opinions of Counsel as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies in connection with the Securitization, including, without limitation, 10b-5 opinions. Borrower's failure to use reasonable efforts to deliver or cause to be delivered the Opinions of Counsel required hereby within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefor shall constitute an "Event of Default" hereunder. Any such Opinions of Counsel that Borrower is reasonably required to cause to be delivered in connection with a Securitization shall be delivered at Borrower's expense; and

14.1.3     Modifications to Loan Documents. Execute such amendments to Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies in order to achieve the required rating or to effect the Securitization (including, without limitation, modifying the Payment Date, as defined in the Note, to a date other than as originally set forth in the Note), provided, that nothing contained in this Section 14.1.3 shall result in any change that does not satisfy the Amendment Conditions.

Section 14.2     Cooperation. Borrower shall (i) at Lender's request, meet with representatives of the Rating Agencies at reasonable times to discuss the business and operations of the Property, (ii) cooperate with the reasonable requests of the Rating Agencies in connection with the Property, and (iii) cooperate in any manner that may reasonably be requested by Lender in connection with a Securitization. Until the Obligations are paid in full, Borrower shall provide the Rating Agencies with all financial reports required hereunder and such other information as they shall reasonably request, including copies of any default notices or other material notices delivered to and received from Lender hereunder, to enable them to continuously monitor the creditworthiness of Borrower and to permit an annual surveillance of the implied credit rating of the Securities.

Section 14.3     Securitization Financial Statements. Borrower acknowledges that all such financial information delivered by Borrower to Lender pursuant to Article XI may, at Lender's option, be delivered to the Rating Agencies.

Section 14.4     Securitization Indemnification.

14.4.1     Disclosure Documents. Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization, including a prospectus or private placement memorandum or a public registration statement (each, a Disclosure Document) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is

required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, upon request, Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Provided Information for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower and the Property reasonably requested by Lender.

14.4.2     Indemnification Certificate. (a) In connection with each of (x) a preliminary and a private placement memorandum, or (y) a preliminary and final prospectus, as applicable, Borrower agrees to provide, at Lender's reasonable request, an indemnification certificate:

(i)         certifying that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such memorandum or prospectus, as applicable, reasonably designated in writing by Lender for Borrower's review pertaining to Borrower, the Property, and/or the Loan and insofar as such sections or portions thereof specifically pertain to Borrower, the Property, or the Loan (such portions, the Relevant Portions), the Relevant Portions do not (except to the extent specified by Borrower if Borrower does not agree with the statements therein), as of the date of such certificate, to Borrower's actual knowledge, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ii)         indemnifying Lender, Deutsche Bank Securities, Inc. and its Affiliates (collectively, DBS) that have prepared the Disclosure Document relating to the Securitization, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed the Disclosure Document and each person or entity who controls DBS within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the DBS Group), and DBS, together with the DBS Group, each of their respective directors and each person who controls DBS or the DBS Group, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the Underwriter Group) for any actual, out-of-pocket losses, third party claims, damages (excluding lost profits, diminution in value and other consequential damages) or liabilities arising out of third party claims (the Liabilities) to which any member of the Underwriter Group may become subject to the extent such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Relevant Portions or arise out of or are based upon the omission by Borrower to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the Relevant Portions in order to make the statements in the Relevant Portions in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b)         Borrower's liability under clause (a) above shall be limited to Liabilities arising out of or based upon any such untrue statement or omission made in a Disclosure Document in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to Lender by, or furnished at the direction and on behalf of, Borrower in connection with the preparation of those portions of the registration statement, memorandum or prospectus pertaining to Borrower, the Property or the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower and operating statements with respect to the Property. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.

(c)         Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 14.4 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 14.4, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 14.4 of its assumption of such defense, the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or in conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in conflict with those available to another indemnified party.

(d)         In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity provided for in this Section 14.4 is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any actual, out-of-pocket losses, claims, damages or liabilities relating to third party claims (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 14.4, the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such actual, out of pocket losses, third party claims, damages or liabilities (or action in respect thereof) (but excluding damages for lost profits, diminution in value of the Property and consequential damages); provided, however, that no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution for Liabilities arising therefrom from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the DBS Group's and Borrower's relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; (iii) the limited responsibilities and obligations of Borrower as specified herein; and (iv) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances.

Section 14.5     Retention of Servicer. Lender reserves the right, at Borrower's sole cost and expense, to retain the Servicer. Lender has advised Borrower that the Servicer initially retained by Lender shall be Midland Loan Services, Inc. Borrower shall pay any fees and expenses of the Servicer and any special servicer and any reasonable third party fees and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and disbursement, including, without limitation, the standard monthly servicing fee of the Servicer of not more than two basis points (0.02%) per annum of the aggregate Principal Amount outstanding and any special servicing fees, servicing advances and interest thereon.

XV.     ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS.

Section 15.1     Assignment and Acceptance.

Lender and/or the assignees, as the case may be, shall from time to time designate one agent through which Borrower shall request all approvals and consents required or contemplated by this Agreement and on whose statements Borrower may rely.

Section 15.2     Effect of Assignment and Acceptance. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of Lender, as the case may be, hereunder and such assignee shall be deemed to have assumed such rights and obligations, and (ii) Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) accruing from and after the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance, except with respect to (A) any payments made by Borrower to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents after the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance and (B) any letter of credit, cash deposit or other deposits or security (other than the Liens of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents) delivered to or deposited

with German American Capital Corporation, as Lender, for which German American Capital Corporation shall remain responsible for the proper disposition thereof until such items are delivered to a party who is qualified as an Approved Bank and agrees to hold the same in accordance with the terms and provisions of the agreement pursuant to which such items were deposited.

Section 15.3     Content. By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, Lender and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; (ii) Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of Borrower or the performance or observance by Borrower of any of its obligations under any Loan Documents or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes Lender to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Lender by the terms hereof together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform, in accordance with their terms, all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are required to be performed by Lender.

Section 15.4     Register. Lender shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and each assignee pursuant to this Article XV and the principal amount of the Loan owing to each such assignee from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall, with respect to such assignees, be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower or any assignee pursuant to this Article XV at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice.

Section 15.5     Substitute Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, Lender shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit M hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt written notice thereof to Borrower. Within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such notice, Borrower, at Lender's

own expense, shall execute and deliver to Lender in exchange and substitution for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the Loan assigned to it and a new Note to the order of Lender in an amount equal to the portion of the Loan retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate then outstanding principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the Note (modified, however, to the extent necessary so as not to impose duplicative or increased obligations on Borrower and to delete obligations previously satisfied by Borrower). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article XV, Borrower shall not be responsible or liable for any additional taxes, reserves, adjustments or other costs and expenses that are related to, or arise as a result of, any transfer of the Loan or any interest or participation therein that arise solely and exclusively from the transfer of the Loan or any interest or participation therein or from the execution of the new Note contemplated by this Section 15.5, including, without limitation, any mortgage tax.

Section 15.6     Participations. Lender or any assignee pursuant to this Article XV may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Note held by it); provided, however, that (i) such assignee's obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (ii) such assignee shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such assignee shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) Borrower, Lender and the assignees pursuant to this Article XV shall continue to deal solely and directly with such assignee in connection with such assignee's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the event that more than one (1) party comprises Lender, Lender shall designate one party to act on the behalf of all parties comprising Lender in providing approvals and all other necessary consents under the Loan Documents and on whose statements Borrower may rely.

Section 15.7     Disclosure of Information.

Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.
