If any payment required herein is not paid on the date when due (subject to all applicable notice and cure period hereunder) or during the continuance of any other Event of Default, (a) the whole of the Principal Amount, (b) interest, including interest at the Default Rate, Late Charges and other sums, as provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (c) all other monies agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (d) all sums advanced pursuant to this Agreement or the Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created thereby, and (e) all sums advanced and costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with the administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof, any renewal, extension or change of or substitution for the Obligations or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender shall without notice become immediately due and payable at the option of Lender.
Section 2.4 Late Charge. In the event that any payment provided for herein (excluding the payment due on the Maturity Date) shall become overdue for a period of five (5) calendar days or more, a late charge equal to the lesser of (x) five cents (.05¢) for each dollar of the amount so overdue and (y) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Charge”) shall become immediately due to Lender as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, and as a reasonable estimate of Lender’s additional administrative expenses, the exact amount of which would be impossible to ascertain, and such sum shall, until paid, be part of the Obligations secured by the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents. Application of the Late Charge shall not be construed as a consent by Lender to an extension of time for any payment, as a waiver of any default that may be related to such or any other overdue payment or of any other default or as a waiver of any other right or remedy of Lender hereunder, at law or in equity.
Section 2.5 Default Rate Applied upon Non-Payment. In the event that any payment due hereunder is not paid in full when due and such nonpayment continues beyond expiration of any applicable notice and/or cure period, or the Obligations are not paid in full on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as the Obligations may become due hereunder, the entire Principal Amount and all of the Obligations (including, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any portion thereof which constitutes accrued and unpaid interest, but excluding any accrued but unpaid Late Charges), shall accrue interest until all payments past due hereunder are fully paid at a rate of interest equal to the Default Rate.
21
Section 2.6 Prepayment.
(a) Provided no Event of Default exists, the Loan may be prepaid, in whole, but not in part, upon: (i) not less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Lender specifying the Business Day on which prepayment is to be made (the “Prepayment Notice”), which Prepayment Notice shall be revocable on or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the scheduled date for such prepayment, provided that in all events Borrower shall pay any reasonable and actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Lender in connection with any such revocation; (ii) payment of the Principal Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Principal Amount of the Loan to and including the day immediately prior to the Prepayment Date; (iii) payment of all other sums then due under this Agreement, the Note, the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents; and (iv) if the Prepayment Date occurs prior to the one hundred eightieth (180th) day preceding the Scheduled Maturity Date, payment of the Prepayment Premium. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Loan unless it is accompanied by all sums due in connection therewith. The calculation of the Prepayment Premium shall be made by Lender in accordance with this Agreement in its sole and absolute discretion and shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon Borrower.
(b) Borrower hereby acknowledges that Lender would not make the Loan without full and complete assurance by Borrower of its agreement to pay the monthly payments as hereinabove provided, and Borrower’s further agreement not to prepay all or any part of the Principal Amount prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, except on the terms expressly set forth in this Agreement. In consideration of the foregoing, if, as a result of an Event of Default hereunder or under the Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender shall declare the Loan due and payable, in whole or in part, in accordance with Lender’s rights under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, then Borrower shall pay to Lender on the date of such acceleration, in addition to all other amounts due Lender, an amount equal to the Prepayment Premium. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Borrower hereby waives any rights Borrower may have to prepay the Loan without charge and agrees to pay the Prepayment Premium upon any prepayment of the Loan prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date, whether voluntary, pursuant to any such acceleration or otherwise. Borrower hereby acknowledges that if such acceleration shall result from an Event of Default, it shall be presumed, for purposes of imposing the Prepayment Premium, and conclusively deemed to be a willful and deliberate attempt by Borrower to avoid the payment of the Prepayment Premium or the limitations on prepayment herein contained and the Prepayment Premium shall constitute liquidated damages, and not a penalty, as a reasonable estimate of Lender’s loss (the exact amount of which damages would be impossible to ascertain) as a consequence of the breach of the Borrower’s covenant not to prepay the Principal Amount and other Obligations, other than as specifically permitted herein.
(c) Any such Prepayment Premium (whether voluntary, pursuant to any acceleration or otherwise) shall constitute a portion of the Loan and the Obligations evidenced hereby and secured by the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. Nothing herein shall constitute a waiver by Lender of any right it may have to specifically enforce the terms of repayment of the Loan and the Obligations set forth herein, in the
22
Security Instrument and in the other Loan Documents. The foregoing provisions shall be deemed to apply, without limitation, to any prepayment of the Loan prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date in connection with (i) any reinstatement of any or all of the Loan Documents under any foreclosure proceedings, (ii) any right of redemption, or (iii) the consummation of any foreclosure sale, whether or not such prepayment is made by or on behalf of Borrower or otherwise and whether or not any such prepayment is made pursuant to rights granted at law or in equity.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing hereunder, no Prepayment Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment (i) resulting from the application of casualty or condemnation proceeds to the Loan in accordance with the terms of the Security Instrument, or (ii) made during the last one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the Scheduled Maturity Date.
Section 2.7 Limitation on Interest. The agreements made by Borrower with respect to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents are expressly limited so that in no event shall the amount of interest received, charged or contracted for by Lender exceed the highest lawful amount of interest permissible under the laws applicable to the Loan. If at any time performance of any provision of this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents results in the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable laws being exceeded, then the amount of interest received, charged or contracted for by Lender shall automatically and without further action by any party be deemed to have been reduced to the highest lawful amount of interest then permissible under applicable laws. If Lender shall ever receive, charge or contract for, as interest, an amount which is unlawful, at Lender’s election, the amount of unlawful interest shall be refunded to Borrower (if actually paid) or applied to reduce the then unpaid Loan Amount. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws, any amounts contracted for, charged or received under the Loan Documents included for the purpose of determining whether the Interest Rate would exceed the highest lawful rate shall be calculated by allocating and spreading such interest to and over the full stated term of the Loan.
Section 2.8 Additional Advance. On or after the date that is six (6) calendar months from the date hereof, Borrower shall be entitled to an additional funding of Loan proceeds of an amount up to $4,000,000.00 (the “Additional Advance”), pursuant to the following terms and conditions:
(a) Upon Borrower’s satisfaction of the Additional Advance Conditions (defined below), Lender shall fund the Additional Advance to Borrower on or before ten (10) Business Days thereof in accordance with the terms hereof, which, once funded, shall constitute part of the Obligations. Interest on the Additional Advance shall begin to accrue in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents on the day that Lender funds the Additional Advance. Under no circumstance shall Borrower be entitled to receive or Lender be obligated to advance any funds in excess of the Additional Advance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and regardless of Borrower’s satisfaction of the Additional Advance Conditions, on February 1, 2023 (the “Additional Advance Termination Date”), Borrower’s ability to obtain the Additional Advance shall terminate and Lender shall have no obligation to fund the Additional Advance,.
23
(b) The term “Additional Advance Conditions” shall mean that with respect to any disbursement of the Additional Advance, (i) prior to the Additional Advance Termination Date Borrower has provided Lender with Borrower’s written request for the Additional Advance (the date of such request, the “Request Date”); (ii) no Trigger Period, or any event which Borrower has notice from Lender, that with the passage of time, would cause a Trigger Period, shall have occurred and remain uncured on the Request Date or on the date Lender funds the Additional Advance (the “Advance Date”); (iii) on the Request Date and on the Advance Date, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, adjusted to reflect a debt constant of the amount of principal and interest that would be due and payable under this Agreement and the Note assuming an amortization of twenty-five (25) years and taking into account the Additional Advance, is greater than or equal to 1.30x; (iv) on the Request Date and on the Advance Date, the Debt Yield for the Property, taking into account the Additional Advance, is greater than or equal to 7.75%; (v) Lender’s internal asset management has approved the Additional Advance (applying substantially the same underwriting criteria used to approve the Initial Advance); and (vi) if required by Lender, Borrower has provided a date down endorsement to Lender’s Title Insurance Policy in connection with the Additional Advance to ensure Lender’s continuing first lien for the entire outstanding Principal Amount (including the Additional Advance) on the Property.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall have the right to receive the Additional Advance in up to two (2) disbursements (provided that no such individual disbursement shall be for less than $1,000,000.00, and both disbursements, in the aggregate shall not exceed $4,000,000.00), subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the Additional Advance Conditions with respect to each such disbursement.

(a) Amount of Deposits. During the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, Borrower shall deposit with Depository, into an account in the name of Lender (the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Account”), monthly, one-twelfth (l/12th) of the annual premiums for insurance and one-twelfth (1/12th) of the amount of all Impositions estimated by Lender to be due for the immediately succeeding calendar year. In addition, if required by Lender during the occurrence and continuance of a Trigger Period, Borrower shall also deposit with the Depository a sum of money which, together with the aforesaid monthly installments, will be sufficient to make each of said payments of Impositions and premiums at least thirty (30) days before such payments are due. All such funds shall be held in (at Lender’s option) an interest-bearing account. All interest earned on the funds held by the Depository, less Depository’s customary administrative charges, shall be credited to, and remain in an account with the Depository, but the amount thereof shall be credited against future deposit obligations under this Section 5.1. Lender shall bear no liability for the failure to achieve any particular rate of return or yield on funds held by the Depository. If the amount of any such payments is not ascertainable at the time any such deposit is required to be made, the deposit shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate thereof based upon its review of actual invoices, bills and/or notices from the applicable taxing authority or insurance carrier or the recommendation of Lender’s third-party consultant, and, when such amount is fixed for the then-current year, Borrower shall
49
promptly deposit any deficiency with the Depository. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Borrower is not currently required to make the deposits pursuant to this Section 5.1, provided, however, that (i) in connection with deposits for Impositions, Lender retains the right to require Borrower to make the deposits specified herein in the future, and (ii) in connection with deposits for premiums for insurance, Lender shall not require Borrower to make such deposits provided that (A) no Trigger Period or event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a Trigger Period hereunder or under any Loan Document shall exist and remain uncured, (B) Borrower is maintaining the required insurance hereunder pursuant to a blanket insurance Policy approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, and (C) Borrower has provided Lender with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender of payment in advance of the annual Insurance Premiums.
(b) Use of Deposits. All funds so deposited shall, until so applied by the Depository for the payment of Impositions or premiums for insurance, constitute additional security for the Obligations (and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in such funds), and may be commingled with other funds of the Depository. If an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, or if the Obligations shall be accelerated as herein provided, all funds so deposited may, at Lender’s option, be applied to the Obligations in the order determined by Lender or to cure said Event of Default or as provided in this Section 5.1.

All such amounts shall be held by Depository in (at Lender’s option) an interest bearing account (the “Operating Expense Reserve Account”) until released in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below. Amounts deposited in the Operating Expense Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 5.3 are referred to herein as the “Operating Expense Reserve Fund”. Lender may reassess the amount of the Monthly Operating Expense Deposit from time to time, and may require Borrower to increase such monthly deposits upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender reasonably determines that an increase is reasonably necessary to maintain the proper operation of the Property. Lender acknowledges and agrees that Borrower is not currently required to make the deposits pursuant to this Section 5.3, provided, however, that Lender retains the right to require Borrower to make the deposits specified herein in the future during the existence of a Trigger Period.
(b) Release of Operating Expense Reserve Fund. Lender shall cause Depository to disburse funds from the Operating Expense Reserve Fund to Borrower promptly after satisfaction of all of the following conditions:
50
(i) no Event of Default, or event which would, with the passage of time the giving of notice or both, constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the submission of an Operating Expense Requisition or as of the date of the disbursement of the Operating Expense Advance. Borrower’s submission of an Operating Expense Requisition shall be deemed Borrower’s certification that Borrower is in full compliance with the terms of this Section 5.3 and that no Event of Default, or event which would, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the submission of such Operating Expense Requisition.
(ii) Lender’s receipt of a certificate from an officer of Borrower certifying that the requested disbursement is for an operating expense incurred by Borrower and included in the Approved Annual Budget or otherwise approved by Lender.

Section 5.5 Capital Expenditure Reserve.
(a) Deposit to Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund. On each Monthly Payment Date for so long as the Obligations are outstanding, Borrower shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with Depository, into an account in the name of Lender, an amount equal to $4,525.00 (the “Monthly Capital Expenditure Deposit”) until such time as the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account (defined below) has greater than or equal to $162,900.00 (the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Cap”). All such amounts shall be held by Depository in (at Lender’s option) an interest bearing account (the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Account”) until released in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) below to pay directly for or reimburse Borrower for any capital repairs, replacements and improvements
51
necessary to keep the Property in good condition, order and repair and to prevent deterioration of the Property(a “Capital Expenditure Advance”). If at any time the funds in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account fall below the Capital Expenditure Reserve Cap (including, but not limited to, due to a Capital Expenditure Advance), Borrower shall resume making Monthly Capital Expenditure Deposits on each Monthly Payment Date until such time as the funds deposited in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account shall equal or exceed the Capital Expenditure Cap. Amounts deposited in the Capital Expenditure Reserve Account pursuant to this Section 5.5 are referred to herein as the “Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund”. Lender may reassess the amount of the Monthly Capital Expenditure Deposit and Capital Expenditure Reserve Cap from time to time, and may require Borrower to increase the amount of such Monthly Capital Expenditure Deposits and/or such Capital Expenditure Reserve Cap upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Borrower if Lender reasonably determines that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper condition of the Property.

Borrower’s submission of a Capital Expenditure Requisition (as hereinafter defined) shall be deemed Borrower’s certification that no Event of Default, or event which would, with the passage of time, the giving of notice or both, constitute an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the submission of such Capital Expenditure Requisition.
(ii) Lender’s receipt of a certificate from an officer of Borrower certifying that the requested disbursement is either to (a) reimburse Borrower for a capital expenditure already paid by Borrower or (b) pay the actual cost of a capital expenditure then due and payable directly to a third party vendor that is not an affiliate of Borrower, in each of the foregoing cases, for a capital expenditure incurred by Borrower and approved by Lender.
(iii) Borrower shall provide evidence satisfactory to Lender that all the capital expenditure work for which the Capital Expenditure Advance is being requested has been performed (1) in accordance with all Governmental Regulations, and (2) in a good and workmanlike manner.
(iv) Borrower has delivered to Lender invoices and conditional lien releases for direct payments or paid receipts and lien waivers for reimbursement to Borrower, in each case, from all contractors, subcontractors and materialmen supplying labor or materials for the capital expenditures for which the Capital Expenditure Advance is being requested; provided that, at Lender’s option, if the cost of any individual capital expenditure subject to a Capital Expenditure Advance
52
exceeds $25,000, Lender shall have received an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement.
(c) Disbursement of Capital Expenditure Advance. Lender shall disburse to Borrower or to the applicable third party vendor, each Capital Expenditure Advance pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of this Section 5.5 not more than once in each calendar month upon simultaneous submission to Lender at least ten (10) days prior to the date on which Borrower desires a disbursement of a Capital Expenditure Advance, of a written requisition (a “Capital Expenditure Requisition”), certified by Borrower on such form or forms as may be required by Lender. Each Capital Expenditure Requisition shall be for not less than $10,000, except that the final Capital Expenditure Requisition may be for less than $10,000. Each Capital Expenditure Requisition shall be deemed a representation by Borrower that Borrower is in full compliance with the terms of this Section 5.5. Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Capital Expenditure Reserve Fund to reimburse Borrower, or pay a third party vendor directly, for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property, replacements of inventory or for costs which are to be reimbursed from any other Reserve Accounts.
Section 5.6 Intentionally Omitted.

(b) Use of Deposits. All funds so deposited into the Reserve Accounts shall, until so disbursed by the Depository as set forth in the applicable provisions, constitute additional security for the Obligations (and Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first priority security interest in such funds), and may be commingled with other funds of the Depository.

(ix) if Borrower owns or operates motor vehicles, motor vehicle liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits reasonably acceptable to Lender;
(x) if Borrower has employees, workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which the Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with a limit of at least $1,000,000 per accident and per disease per employee, and $1,000,000 aggregate coverage for disease in respect of any work or operations on or about the Property, or in connection with the Property or its operation;
(xi) a blanket fidelity bond or “Employee Dishonesty” coverage insuring against losses resulting from dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by personnel retained in connection with the operation of the Property; and
(xii) such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.
(b) Blanket Insurance; Separate Insurance. Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by a Qualified Insurer (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 6.1(a) to be furnished by, or which may be reasonably required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 6.1(e). Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
(c) Insurers. All policies of insurance required under this Section 6.1 (collectively, the “Policies” and each, individually, a “Policy”) shall be issued by companies having a general policy rating of “A”-VIII or better by Best Key Rating Guide or otherwise approved by Lender and which are licensed to do business in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (any of such companies being referred to individually herein as a “Qualified Insurer”) or with such other companies satisfactory to Lender, and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to amount, content, form and expiration date; it being agreed that the approval by Lender of any insurer shall not be construed to be a representation, certification or warranty of its solvency, and no approval by Lender as to the amount, type and/or form of any insurance shall be construed to be a representation, certification or warranty of its sufficiency.
(d) Insured Parties. The insurance required under subsections (i) through (v), inclusive, of Section 6.1(a) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns, as loss payee
56
under a Non-Contributory Standard Lender Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BDUNS) or an equivalent standard form attached to, or otherwise made a part of such policy in favor of Lender, and provide that the insurers waive any and all subrogation rights against Lender. The insurance maintained under subsections (vi) through (x), inclusive, of Section 6.1(a) shall name Lender, its successors and/or assigns, as an additional insured. It is agreed that, and each insurance policy shall expressly state that, losses shall be payable jointly to Lender and Borrower notwithstanding (1) any act or negligence of Borrower or its agents or employees which might, absent such agreement, result in a forfeiture of all or part of such insurance payment, (2) the occupation or use of the Property or any part thereof for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms of such policy, (3) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken pursuant to this Agreement, or (4) any change in title to or ownership of the Property or any part thereof. All policies shall include effective waivers by the insurer of all claims for insurance premiums against any loss payees, additional insureds and named insureds (other than Borrower). No Policy shall be canceled without at least thirty (30) days written notice to Lender, which may be reduced to ten (10) days’ written notice for non-payment of premium. The issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew prior to its expiration. Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(e) Delivery of Policies. If not previously delivered to Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender no later than thirty (30) days after the date hereof certified copies of the existing Policies providing the insurance coverage required under Section 6.1(a) marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”) annually in advance. In addition, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies which Borrower is now or hereafter required to maintain hereunder, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of new or renewal Policies (also marked “premium paid” or accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the Insurance Premiums due thereunder annually in advance), together with certificates of insurance therefor, setting forth, among other things, the amounts of insurance maintained, the risks covered by such insurance and the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Lender. Under no circumstances shall Borrower be permitted to finance the payment of any portion of the Insurance Premiums.
(f) Failure to Deliver Policies. If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect, together with interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred by Lender, shall be secured by the Security Instrument and payable by Borrower to Lender immediately upon Lender’s demand.
57
(g) Transfer of Title. In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument or other transfer of title or assignment of the Property, by reason of a default hereunder, in extinguishment, in whole or in part, of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to all policies of insurance required under this Section 6.1 or otherwise then in force with respect to the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder and unearned premiums thereon shall immediately vest in the purchaser or other transferee of the Property.
Section 6.2 Casualty and Condemnation.
(a) Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.3 hereof. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve the final settlement, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than $250,000.00 and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.
(b) Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened (in writing) commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of reasonable expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any portion of the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property pursuant to Section 6.3 hereof and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
58
Section 6.3 Restoration.
The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than $250,000.00 and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than $250,000.00, the Net Proceeds will be paid to Lender and disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.3(c) hereof are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than $250,000.00 or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than $250,000.00, the Net Proceeds shall be paid to Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3. The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.3 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Article VI as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(c) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than forty percent (40%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than twenty percent (20%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(iii) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than ninety percent (90%) 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 Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and Borrower and/or Tenant, as applicable under the respective Lease, will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense.
(iv) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or
59
Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs; provided that Borrower applying for approvals, authorizations, certifications, licenses and permits required in connection with such Restoration shall be deemed a commencement of the Restoration) and shall diligently pursue the same to reasonably satisfactory completion;
(v) Lender shall be satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof, if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(vi) Lender shall be satisfied, in its reasonable discretion, that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under all applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(ii) hereof;
(vii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements;
(x) the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (taking into account any of the Additional Advance previously funded) for the Property (as determined by Lender after giving effect to the Restoration) shall be equal to or greater than 1.25 to 1.0;
(xi) Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be subject to Lender’s reasonable approval; and
(xii) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(d) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the other obligations of Borrower under this
60
Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(e) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender in its reasonable discretion and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(f) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.3, be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the
61
Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(g) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(h) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall constitute additional security for the Debt and the other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents under the Loan Documents.
(i) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds (and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency) deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.3, and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be: (x) to the extent a Trigger Period then exists, deposited in the Cash Management Account to be disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and (y) to the extent a Trigger Period does not then exist, released to Borrower in accordance with this Agreement, provided in each case, no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(j) All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for the Restoration may be retained and promptly applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper or, at the reasonable discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its reasonable discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the lien of the Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.
(k) In the event of foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the
62
purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
ARTICLE VII. NO SALE OR ENCUMBRANCE
Section 7.1 Transfers.
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender has examined and relied on the experience of Borrower and its stockholders, general partners, members, principals and (if Borrower is a trust) beneficial owners in owning and operating properties such as the Property in agreeing to make the Loan, and will continue to rely on Borrower’s ownership of the Property as a means of maintaining the value of the Property as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance of and all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining the value of the Property so as to ensure that, should Borrower default in the repayment of the Debt or the performance of the other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, Lender can recover the Debt by a sale of the Property.

In addition, at all times, (1) Guarantor must continue to Control Borrower and own 100% of the legal and beneficial interest in Borrower, (2) Guarantor or an Affiliate of Guarantor much continue to Control and own at least fifty-one percent (51%) of any Affiliated Manager, (3) NewReal must continue to Control Guarantor as the general partner of Guarantor and own at least one percent (1%) of the partnership interests in Guarantor, (4) no less than two (2) of the Required Control Parties (either in their individual capacity or in their capacity as a trustee of a trust that owns shares in NewReal) must continue to Control NewReal and own, in the aggregate, at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the shares in New Real, and (5) Ronald Brown or the spouse, siblings, children or grandchildren of Ronald Brown (or a trust for the benefit of any such Persons) much continue to own in the aggregate, directly or indirectly, at least a 4% legal and beneficial interest in Guarantor (collectively, the “Required Ownership and Control Condition”). Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall promptly provide Lender with a revised version of the organizational chart delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan reflecting any Transfer consummated in accordance with this Section 7.1(d).
(e) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon Borrower’s Transfer without Lender’s consent. This provision shall
64
apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.

(p) if Borrower shall continue to be in default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents not specified in subsections (a) to (o) above, for ten (10) days after receipt of written notice to Borrower from Lender, in the case of any default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from Lender in the case of any other default; provided, however, that if such non‑monetary default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days.

If any Event of Default occurs (irrespective of whether or not the same consists of an ongoing condition, a one-time occurrence, or otherwise), the same shall be deemed to continue at all times thereafter; provided, however, that such Event of Default shall cease to continue only if Lender shall accept, in writing, performance of the defaulted obligation or shall execute and deliver a written agreement in which Lender expressly states that such Event of Default has ceased to continue. Borrower shall have no right to cure any Event of Default, and Lender shall not be obligated under any circumstances whatsoever to accept such cure or performance or to execute and deliver any such writing.

(vii) failure to pay Insurance Premiums (unless (1) such failure results solely from there being an insufficient amount of revenue from the Property to make such payment and Borrower has provided Lender advance notice of such failure prior to the expiration of the related Policy), or (2) sums sufficient to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited with Lender in accordance with this Agreement and Lender fails to disburse or pay such Insurance Premiums in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, to maintain the Policies in full force and effect and/or to provide Lender evidence of the same, in each case, as expressly provided herein

(xi) if Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor contests, impedes, delays or opposes the exercise by Lender of any enforcement actions, remedies or other rights it has under or in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall be liable to the extent of any applicable loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation arising solely from a defense of Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantor raised in good faith.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents,
(i) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Security Instrument or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and

(i) If invested, sums on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall be invested at the direction of Lender.
(j) Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may maintain sub-accounts within the Cash Management Account in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note and the other Loan Documents, which sub-accounts may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts.

The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents, and such obligation shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Security Instrument, the Note or the other Loan Documents, and provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the payment of the Monthly Payment and amounts required to be deposited into the Reserve Accounts, if any, shall be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement on the dates each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of reasonable costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(b) Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower and Indemnitor pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 13.7 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are inserted only as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any provisions of this Agreement
Section 13.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement should be held unenforceable or void, then that provision shall be separated from the remaining provisions and shall not affect the validity of this Agreement except that if the unenforceable or void provision relates to the payment of any monetary sum, then, Lender may, at its option, declare the Debt immediately due and payable.
Section 13.9 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

If, from any circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision of the Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity and if, from any circumstance whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate, the receipt of such excess shall, at the option of Lender, be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be rebated to Borrower or, held

in trust by Lender for the benefit of Borrower and shall be credited against the principal amount of the Obligations to which the same may lawfully be credited, and any portion of such excess not capable of being so credited shall be rebated to Borrower. The aggregate of all interest (whether designated as interest, service charges, points or otherwise) contracted for, chargeable, or receivable under the Note, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document shall under no circumstances exceed the Maximum Legal Rate upon the unpaid principal balance of the Note remaining from time to time. In the event such interest does exceed the Maximum Legal Rate, it shall be deemed a mistake and such excess shall be canceled automatically and if theretofore paid, rebated to Borrower or credited on the principal amount of the Note, or if the Note has been repaid, then such excess shall be rebated to Borrower.
Section 13.11 Right to Deal. In the event that ownership of the Property becomes vested in a Person other than Borrower, Lender may, without notice to Borrower, deal with such successor or successors in interest with reference to this Agreement or the Obligations in the same manner as with Borrower, without in any way vitiating or discharging Borrower’s liability hereunder or for the payment of the Obligations or being deemed a consent to such vesting. It being agreed that Lender’s dealing with any such successor or successors as aforesaid shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations or liabilities hereunder or under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Obligations), all of which shall remain the primary obligations and liabilities of Borrower as a principal hereunder and thereunder, and not as merely a guarantor or by way of stand-by liability.
Section 13.12 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 13.13 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 13.14 Expenses.
(a) Borrower will pay or, on demand, reimburse Lender for the payment of, all appraisal fees, recording and filing fees, taxes, brokerage fees and commissions, abstract fees, title insurance premiums and fees, UCC search fees, escrow fees, consultants’ fees and disbursements, environmental engineers’ fees and disbursements, reasonable actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements, servicing fees, and all other costs and expenses of every character incurred by Lender in connection with the closing of the transactions

(b) Borrower will pay or, on demand, reimburse Lender for the payment of any costs or expenses (including reasonable actual attorneys’ fees and disbursements and collection costs) incurred or expended in connection with or incidental to (i) the occurrence of any default or Event of Default by Borrower hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (ii) the exercise or enforcement by or on behalf of Lender of any of its rights or remedies or Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or under the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Security Instrument or the Obligations or the defense or assertion of the rights and claims of Lender hereunder in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise, or (iii) any legal advice as to Lender’s rights, remedies and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents arising from or in connection with any actual or threatened default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
Section 13.15 Schedules and Exhibits Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 13.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy in common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 13.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.

Section 13.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 13.19 Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity.
Section 13.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity and that such Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity or any other agreements or instruments that govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender and its Affiliates engage in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 13.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than KeyBank Real Estate Capital (“Broker”), and Borrower shall be solely responsible for payment of all commissions, finder’s fees or similar amounts due and payable to Broker pursuant to the terms of their separate agreement, all of which commissions, finder’s fees or similar amounts shall be paid to Broker by Borrower on the Execution Date. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in
82
connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 13.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may have been involved in other transactions with Broker, and Borrower agrees that it shall have no rights against Lender or defenses to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents or the Environmental Indemnity due to any such relationship.
