TERMS OF THE LOAN
TERMS OF THE LOAN
Section 2.1 Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender agrees to lend to Borrower, and Borrower agrees to borrow from Lender, from time to time, such sums as may be requested by Borrower, the total of which shall not exceed the Loan Amount, to be used as provided in this Agreement and in conformance with the Loan Budget.
Section 2.2 Loan Disbursements.
2.2.1 Closing Date Disbursement. Upon satisfaction of all applicable conditions, Lender will advance the Loan Amount to Borrower.
2.2.2 Reserved.
3
Section 2.3 Payments.
2.3.1 Interest and Principal.
(a) The principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest at the Interest Rate or, as applicable, the Default Rate. Interest shall accrue on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, from time to time, based on a 360 day year and charged for the actual number of days outstanding. On the Closing Date, Borrower shall make a payment of interest on the outstanding Loan balance for the Initial Interest Period. Commencing on the first Scheduled Payment Date, and on or before each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, Borrower shall pay all Accrued Interest. In addition to the interest payments required above, Borrower shall make the applicable Minimum Amortization Payment, commencing on the Amortization Commencement Date and on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter.
(b) On the Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay all Indebtedness, including the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan and all Accrued Interest.
(c) Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall be computed at, and Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of the Loan at, the Default Rate. All other payments, reimbursements and other amounts due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date when due until the date when received by Lender.
(d) At any time after the expiration of the Lockout Period (but not prior thereto), upon not less than sixty (60) days prior written notice to Lender, Borrower may prepay the Loan in whole but not in part (except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement) on any Business Day, provided that upon any such prepayment of the Loan, Borrower shall also pay in full (i) all Accrued Interest; (ii) if such prepayment is received by Lender on a date other than on a Scheduled Payment Date, the Interest Shortfall; (iii) all other Indebtedness; and (iv) if the Loan is prepaid in whole or in part prior to the Scheduled Payment Date in October, 2020 (other than with the proceeds of any Loss Recoveries pursuant to Section 6.1(d) of this Agreement), the applicable Prepayment Fee. Without limiting the aforesaid, upon any payment of the Loan on any day that is not a Scheduled Payment Date (regardless of the source of such prepayment and whether voluntary, by acceleration or otherwise), Borrower shall pay Lender the Breakage Amount.
(e) Unless otherwise specified, all other amounts payable to Lender under the Loan Documents shall be due and payable within ten (10) days after written request or invoice.
(f) Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Scheduled Payment Date to a different calendar day provided such amended Scheduled Payment Date shall not be earlier than the fifth (5th) day of each calendar month and, if requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Scheduled Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period and the Determination Date accordingly. All
4
amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.2 Application of Payments. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, all payments shall be applied to the Indebtedness in such order and manner as Lender may elect.
2.3.3 Place and Manner of Payment. The payment of all amounts due under this Agreement and under any other Loan Document shall be made from the Blocked Account, if any, or other depository account approved by Lender and shall be deemed received only when actually received by Lender. Payments received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard time shall be deemed received on the next day Lender is open for business. If any payment hereunder shall be due (after the expiration of any applicable grace period) on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day. At Lender's option, Lender may accept payments by check or in form other than immediately available funds, but such payments shall be accepted subject to collection and, at Lender's option, shall be deemed received only when collected. Acceptance by Lender of payments in other than immediately available funds shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights to insist that any subsequent payment be made in immediately available funds.
2.3.4 Late Payment Fee. If any payment due on any Scheduled Payment Date (other than the principal amount due on the Maturity Date) is not made within three (3) days of the Scheduled Payment Date or any other amount due hereunder is not made within five (5) days after the date when due, as the case may be, Lender, at its option and in addition to any other remedy available to Lender, may impose a late payment fee, which Borrower covenants to pay upon demand, calculated at the rate of five percent (5%) of the amount of such delinquent payment or deposit. Without limiting the foregoing, any late payment fee shall be paid without prejudice to the right of Lender to collect any other amounts provided to be paid upon an Event of Default, including without limitation any other amounts due at the Default Rate, or to declare a default hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower agrees that the late payment fee provided for in this Section 2.3.4 represents a reasonable estimate of the administrative cost and expense which Lender will incur as a result of Borrower's failure to pay any installment of principal and interest hereunder.
Section 2.4 Legal Interest.
2.4.1 Savings. In the event the interest (including without limitation, at the Default Rate) or other payments required to be made under the Loan Documents or otherwise, shall at any time exceed the Legal Limits, all such sums paid by Borrower or any guarantor(s) or indemnitor(s) for the period in question that exceed the Legal Limits, automatically and without further documentation or action by Borrower, any guarantor(s) or indemnitor(s) or Lender, shall be applied to the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as Lender may elect, but only to the extent that it does not violate the Legal Limits, or if the Indebtedness has been repaid in full, then such excess shall be refunded to Borrower. In no event whatsoever shall the amount of interest paid or agreed to be paid to Lender pursuant to this Loan Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under Applicable Laws. Neither Borrower nor any guarantor, endorser or surety nor their heirs, legal representatives, successors or assigns
5
shall have any action against Lender for any damages whatsoever arising out of the payment or collection of any amounts that exceed the Legal Limits, and all such claims and causes of action are hereby indefeasibly waived and released.
2.4.2 Liquidated Damages. Borrower acknowledges that the occurrence of any Event of Default will (a) require Lender to incur additional expense in servicing and administering the Loan, and (b) result in loss to Lender of the use of the money due and impede Lender in meeting its other financial and loan commitments. Borrower further acknowledges that the damages caused thereby will be extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Accordingly, Borrower agrees that any late payment fee and/or interest at the Default Rate imposed on Borrower under this Agreement represents the reasonable estimate of Lender and Borrower of a fair compensation for the loss that may be sustained by Lender due to the failure of Borrower to make timely payments, and that the late payment fee and the accrual of interest at the Default Rate is a reasonable estimate of the damage to Lender in the event of such default, regardless of whether there has been acceleration of the Indebtedness. If the Maturity Date is accelerated by Lender because of the occurrence of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents (an "Acceleration Event"), the acceleration shall be deemed to be an election on the part of Borrower to prepay the Loan. Accordingly, there shall be added to the amount due after an Event of Default and resulting acceleration, the Breakage Amount, the Interest Shortfall and the Prepayment Fee (if any), calculated by using as the prepayment date the date on which any tender of payment is made, and Borrower agrees to pay same. Any tender of payment made (or judgment entered) after acceleration by or on behalf of Borrower (including, without limitation, payment by any guarantor or purchaser at a foreclosure sale), shall include the Breakage Amount, the Interest Shortfall, and the Prepayment Fee (if any) computed as provided above. Furthermore, if the Acceleration Event occurs during the Lockout Period, in addition to the Breakage Amount, the Closed Period Prepayment Fee shall also be due and Borrower agrees to pay same. Nothing in this Section 2.4.2 shall be deemed to permit prepayment during the Lockout Period.
Section 2.5 Deposits and Reserves.
2.5.1 Deposits.
(a) Tax and Insurance Deposits. On or before the Closing Date Borrower shall (i) pay all Impositions and Premiums then due and payable and (ii) deposit with Lender an amount sufficient, when added to the Monthly Tax Deposits and Monthly Insurance Deposits to be collected prior to the dates when Impositions and Premiums next become due and payable, to pay such Impositions and Premiums. On each Scheduled Payment Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the Monthly Tax Deposit and the Monthly Insurance Deposit.
(b) CapEx Reserve. On the Closing Date and on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter during the term of the Loan, Borrower shall deposit with Lender into the CapEx Reserve $9,333.33 (the "Monthly CapEx Reserve Deposit").
(c) Interest Rate Cap Reserve. Commencing on October 5, 2020 and on each Scheduled Payment Date thereafter through and including September 5, 2021, Borrower shall deposit with Lender into the Interest Rate Cap Reserve the Monthly Interest Cap Amount.
6
2.5.2 Holding of Deposits, Security Interest. All Deposits shall be held without any allowance of interest and may be commingled with other funds of Lender, except as specifically provided in this Agreement. At its sole election, Lender may cause all or a portion of the Deposits to be held by a depository designated by Lender in one or more accounts. A security interest within the meaning of the Code is hereby granted to Lender in and to all Deposits, and the Deposits and all of Borrower's right, title and interest therein are hereby assigned to Lender, all as additional security for the Indebtedness, and shall not be subject to the direction or control of Borrower. Lender shall not be liable for any failure to apply any Deposit, in the absence of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission taken in good faith or pursuant to the instruction of any party. Upon an Event of Default, Lender may at its option, without being required to do so, apply any portion of the Deposits, other than unforfeited tenant security deposits, to pay Indebtedness, including Charges, in such order and manner as Lender may elect. To the extent Deposits are used to pay Indebtedness, Borrower shall immediately, upon demand by Lender, deposit with Lender an amount equal to the amount so used.
2.5.3 Use of Tax and Insurance Deposits. Provided no Event of Default then exists, the Monthly Tax Deposits and the Monthly Insurance Deposits will be used for the payment of the Impositions and Premiums next due and payable when they become due; provided, however, that if Borrower notifies Lender, Lender agrees (provided no Event of Default then exists) to pay Impositions from the Monthly Tax Deposits in the calendar month immediately preceding the calendar month that such Impositions will become delinquent (for example, since ad valorem taxes in Texas become delinquent on February 1, such ad valorem taxes will be paid in the preceding January). Upon demand by Lender, Borrower shall deliver and pay over to Lender from time to time such additional sums or such additional security as are necessary to make up any deficiency in the amount necessary, as determined by Lender, to enable Lender to fully pay the Impositions and Premiums as they become due and payable. If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay Impositions and Premiums for any year, the excess shall be applied to subsequent Monthly Tax Deposits, as determined by Lender.
2.5.4 Use of Funds in the CapEx Reserve. Funds in the CapEx Reserve will be used for payment of Approved CapEx as provided in Article 3 upon compliance with the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement.
2.5.5 Use of Funds in the Interest Rate Cap Reserve. Provided no Event of Default then exists, Lender shall permit Borrower to use the funds in the Interest Rate Cap Reserve to purchase an Interest Rate Protection Agreement with a term expiring no sooner than the initial Maturity Date and otherwise complying with the terms provided in Section 5.6.
2.5.6 Use of Funds in the Interest Reserve. Funds in the Interest Reserve shall be held and applied by Lender pursuant to Section 2.5.2 and/or used, at Lender's option, toward debt service due under Section 2.3.1(a). If a Cash Trap Period is terminated (i.e., the Property achieves a DSCR that is equal to or greater than 1.15 x for three consecutive calendar months), then, so long as there then exist no Event of Default, the amounts remaining in the Interest Reserve will be released to Borrower.
7
Section 2.6 Blocked Account. On or prior to the date hereof, Borrower has caused a bank account control agreement concerning the Blocked Account, in form and content acceptable to Lender, to be fully executed and delivered to Lender. Borrower shall at all times from and after the date hereof until the Indebtedness has been paid in full, cause to be kept and maintained a Blocked Account. Borrower will cause all Revenues to be deposited into the Blocked Account (including, without limitation, all credit card payments) and all payments received under any Interest Rate Protection Agreement and shall give irrevocable notices to tenants and other account debtors of Borrower or the Property to make all payments, if made by wire transfer, directly to the Blocked Account. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining the Blocked Account. Borrower will disburse funds from the Blocked Account in the following order of priority:
(a) first, to Lender to make the required amount of the Monthly Tax Deposits and Monthly Insurance Deposits;
(b) next, to pay all Accrued Interest and any Minimum Amortization Payment then due and payable;
(c) next, to pay Eligible Expenses;
(d) next, to pay the Monthly CapEx Reserve Deposit required to be deposited into the CapEx Reserve pursuant to Section 2.5.1(b);
(e) next, to pay the Monthly Interest Cap Amount required to be deposited into the Interest Rate Cap Reserve pursuant to Section 2.5.1(c); and
(f) next, during any Cash Trap Period any balance to Lender to be deposited into the Interest Reserve and if there is no Cash Trap Period any balance to Borrower.
The amounts described in clauses (a), (b), (d) and (e) shall be due and payable on each Scheduled Payment Date whether or not Revenues are sufficient therefor. After an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right to (i) apply the funds in the Blocked Account and any Revenues then in the possession of Lender or Servicer (including funds in the account described in clause (ii) below) toward payment of expenses incurred in connection with the operation of the Property and/or the Indebtedness in such order, priority and proportion as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion and/or (ii) transfer all or a portion of said funds in the Blocked Account into a deposit account established, from time to time, by, and under the sole control of, Lender (as additional collateral for the Loan). Lender's right to withdraw and apply any of the foregoing funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under the Loan Documents.

ARTICLE 5
COVENANTS
Section 5.1 Covenants. Borrower shall perform the following covenants, fully and faithfully, at all times until the Indebtedness has been paid in full.
5.1.1 Financial.
(a) Within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar month, Borrower shall furnish Lender with a copy of Borrower's income statement showing all Revenues, accrued real estate taxes and all items of operating expense, capital expenditures and reserves paid with Revenues, balance sheet, cash flow statement and Rent Roll, if any, for the preceding month and the calendar year to date showing a comparison of the actual results of operations to the Operating Budget.
(b) Borrower shall prepare and submit to Lender such other financial statements and reports as Lender may require (including, without limitation, updated Argus models). All financial statements shall be in a format approved by Lender and certified as true, correct, and complete and not misleading as to Borrower's financial condition by an officer of Borrower approved by Lender. The monthly financial statements shall certify that there are no pending claims against Borrower or, if any such claims exist, the nature and amount of each such claim.
(c) No later than March 25 of each year Borrower shall furnish to Lender (1) Borrower's annual audited financial statements for the prior calendar year certified by an independent accountant in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and consistently applied), including a balance sheet as of the end of such year, a statement of revenues and expenses and cash flow for such year, and stating in an unaudited comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal year and the Operating Budget for such fiscal year, as well as the supplemental schedule of net income or loss presenting the net income or loss and occupancy statistics for and copies of all federal income tax returns filed, all of which shall be certified as true, correct and complete and not misleading by an officer of Borrower approved by Lender, (2) a certificate from an officer of Borrower or an officer of Borrower stating that there are no then existing defaults under the Loan Documents, (3) a statement of the amount by which actual operating expenses were greater than or less than the operating expenses anticipated in the applicable Operating Budget and (4) an annual summary of any and all capital expenditures made during the prior calendar year.
(d) No later than November 1 of each year, Borrower or Property Manager shall prepare for Lender's review and approval an annual business plan for the Property including a marketing plan, capital improvement plan, projected lease rates for available space and a projected operating budget, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the upcoming calendar year. The
16
operating budget, once approved by Lender, shall constitute the Operating Budget for the period covered by said budget. Borrower shall be permitted to include in each Operating Budget a property management fee of up to three percent (3%) of Revenues.
(e) No later than March 31 of each year, Borrower shall cause each Guarantor to submit audited financial statements certified by an independent accountant in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and consistently applied) containing consolidated balance sheets and statements of operations and cash flows as of the end of the previous year and for the year then ended. Such statements shall be certified by Guarantor as true, correct and complete and not misleading as to such Guarantor's financial condition.
(f) If Borrower omits to prepare and deliver timely any report required by the preceding paragraphs of this Section 5.1.1 (a "Required Report"), in addition to exercising any remedy, Lender shall have the right to charge Borrower, as a late charge, (i) the sum of $250.00 with respect to any such Required Report not timely delivered, and (ii) if any such Required Report is not delivered within five (5) Business Days after written notice from Lender, the sum of $250.00 per day with respect to any such Required Report until the same is delivered. Borrower acknowledges that Lender will incur additional expenses as a result of any such late deliveries, which expenses would be impracticable to quantify, and that Borrower's payments under this Section 5.1.1(f) are a reasonable estimate of such expenses. Borrower acknowledges further that the imposition, or the payment by Borrower, of this late charge does not in any manner affect or otherwise impair or waive any rights and remedies Lender may have hereunder, under the Loan Documents or under applicable law for any Event of Default. In addition, Lender may elect, in addition to exercising any remedy with respect to the late charge or for an Event of Default, to have an independent certified public accountant selected by Lender make an audit of all books and records of Borrower, including its bank accounts, which in any way pertain to the Property and to prepare the statement or statements which Borrower failed to procure and deliver. Borrower shall pay all expenses of the audit and other services, which expenses shall be due and payable upon demand.
(g) Borrower shall keep and maintain separate books and records with respect to the Property. Borrower will allow Lender, its representatives or agents, at any time during normal business hours, access to all books and records of Borrower, including Borrower's books of account and all supporting and related vouchers or papers kept by or on behalf of Borrower or its representatives or agents in connection with maintenance, operation or leasing of the Property, such access to include the right to make extracts or copies thereof.
(h) Upon request from Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an updated organizational chart of Borrower and its Upstream Owners.
(i) Borrower shall keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained proper and accurate books and records, in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender and consistently applied), reflecting the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property.
17
5.1.2 Impositions.
(a) Borrower shall pay all Impositions before the same become delinquent and, upon written request, shall furnish to Lender duplicate receipts for such payment. Unless Lender has paid such Impositions directly on Borrower's behalf, Borrower shall furnish to Lender evidence that all Impositions are paid at least five (5) Business Days prior to the last date for payment of such Impositions and before imposition of any penalty or accrual of interest.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, in good faith, with reasonable diligence and at Borrower's sole cost and expense, contest the validity or amount of any Impositions, provided that:
(i) Such contest prevents the collection of the Contested Taxes and the sale or forfeiture of all or any part of the Property to satisfy the payment of the Contested Taxes; and
(ii) Borrower notifies Lender in writing of Borrower's intent to contest before any Contested Taxes have been increased by any interest, penalties or other costs; and
(iii) Borrower has deposited with Lender to be held by Lender, together with the sums provided in subsection (c) below, a sum of money which taken with the deposits already held by Lender pursuant to subsection (c) below is sufficient in Lender's judgment to pay the amount of the Contested Taxes, including interest and penalties, and Borrower shall increase such deposits upon demand by Lender whenever Lender deems such additional deposit necessary to cover the cost of additional interest and penalties.
(c) If Borrower fails to pursue the proceeding for the Contested Taxes with reasonable diligence, or if Borrower fails to deliver to Lender the additional deposits required in this subsection (c), Lender may, at Lender's option, apply such additional deposits to the payment of all or any portion of the Contested Taxes, including all penalties and interest. If the amount of the additional deposits is insufficient to pay the Contested Taxes together with all interest and penalties, Borrower shall upon demand deposit an amount sufficient to make such payment of the Contested Taxes in full. Provided no Event of Default then exists and Borrower has notified Lender in writing that Borrower has obtained a final disposition of the Contested Taxes, together with an official tax bill for such Contested Taxes, Lender shall use the funds on deposit with Lender, together with the Monthly Tax Deposits relating to such Contested Taxes, to pay the Contested Taxes in full.
5.1.3 Insurance.
(a) Until the Indebtedness is fully paid and all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents have been finally terminated, all of the Collateral shall be kept at all times insured against loss and damage by such hazards, casualties and contingencies in such amounts and for such periods as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender. All insurance shall be written in policies and by insurance companies approved by Lender; such insurance companies shall have an A.M. Best Rating of A-: VIII. All policies of insurance and renewals thereof shall
18
contain standard noncontributory Lender, mortgagee clauses and loss payable clauses in favor of Lender and shall name Lender and its successors and assigns as an additional insured and shall provide for at least thirty (30) days' prior written notice of modification (including cancellation) to Lender without cost to Lender as well as a waiver of subrogation endorsement and such other endorsements as Lender shall require. All policies of insurance and renewals thereof shall contain such further endorsements as Lender may require, in form and content acceptable to Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all policies of insurance shall be in amounts and have deductibles (if any) approved by Lender and contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower or of any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way effect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned. All policies of insurance (or binders of renewal insurance policies), together with evidence of fully paid premiums, shall be delivered to Lender as issued at least fifteen (15) days before the expiration of old policies and shall be held by Lender until all Indebtedness has been fully paid and all obligations of Lender under the Loan Documents finally terminated. Upon request by Lender, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall furnish Lender evidence of the replacement cost of the Property. In case of any transfer of title to the Property either resulting from an exercise of remedies under or pursuant to the Mortgage or in lieu of such remedies, complete title to all policies of insurance required by this Agreement and to all prepaid or unearned premiums thereon shall pass to and vest in the grantee or other transferee of the Property. Lender shall not, by reason of accepting, rejecting, approving or obtaining insurance, incur any liability for payment of losses.
(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower covenants and agrees to maintain the following insurance coverage: (i) all risk coverage insurance, including vandalism, terrorism, windstorm and malicious mischief and sewer backup insurance, for an amount equal to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the full replacement cost of the Improvements and fixtures located on the Property, written on a replacement cost basis and with a replacement cost endorsement (without depreciation) and an agreed amount endorsement pertaining to the co‑insurance clause and with a building ordinance coverage endorsement to include demolition and increased cost of construction, which building ordinance coverage endorsement shall be in an amount as Lender may reasonably require; (ii) rent loss insurance in an amount equal to not less than gross revenue from the Property for twelve (12) months based upon one hundred percent (100%) occupancy of all Improvements, less any allocable charges and expenses which would not continue during the period of restoration; (iii) commercial general public liability and property damage insurance with a broad form coverage endorsement for an amount as reasonably required from time to time by Lender but not less than an aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and an occurrence limit of not less than Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000.00) combined single limit; (iv) flood insurance whenever in the opinion of Lender such protection is necessary and is available; (v) earthquake insurance whenever in the opinion of Lender such protection is necessary and is available; (vi) insurance covering pressure vessels, pressure piping and machinery, if any, and all major components of any centralized heating or air‑conditioning systems located in the Improvements, in an amount satisfactory to Lender, such policies also to insure against physical damage to the Improvements arising out of peril covered thereunder; (vii) such other insurance that may be required from time to time by Lender.
19
(c) If at any time a dispute arises with respect to replacement cost, Borrower agrees to provide at Borrower's expense, an insurance appraisal prepared by an insurance appraiser approved by Lender, establishing the full replacement cost in a manner satisfactory to the insurance carrier.
(d) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid, in a timely manner, all Premiums. At least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any policy of insurance, Borrower shall furnish to Lender renewal insurance policies as required by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e) In the event of any loss, Borrower shall promptly give Lender and the insurance companies that have insured against such risks, notice of such loss or damage, and, if requested by Lender, advise the insurance companies that Lender is authorized, subject to Section 6.1(f), to settle and adjust any claim under insurance policies which insure against such risks.
(f) Borrower shall not take out separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required to be maintained hereunder unless Lender is included thereon as the loss payee and an additional insured as applicable, under a standard mortgagee clause acceptable to Lender and such separate insurance is acceptable to Lender.
(g) Unless Borrower provides Lender with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Agreement, Lender may purchase insurance at Borrower's expense to protect Lender's interest in the Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Borrower's interests. The coverage Lender purchases may not pay any claim Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property. Borrower may later cancel any insurance purchased by Lender, but only after providing Lender with evidence that Borrower has obtained insurance as required by this Agreement. If Lender purchases insurance required to be provided under this Agreement, Borrower will be responsible for the costs of that insurance, including interest and any other charges Lender may impose in connection with the placement of the insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of the insurance. The costs of the insurance may be added to the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. The costs of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Borrower may be able to obtain on its own.
5.1.4 Leases.
(a) Without the prior written consent of Lender, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, Borrower shall not (i) enter into any Lease, (ii) modify, amend or terminate, other than by reason of the tenant's default, any Lease, (iii) accept any rental payment on a Lease for more than one month in advance of its due date, or (iv) enter into any ground lease of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lease for an apartment unit in the Improvements which (1) is on a form approved by Lender (with no material modifications thereto), and (2) satisfies the applicable Minimum Lease Standards, shall not, nor shall any modification thereof, require Lender's prior approval and is deemed to be an Approved Lease.
20
(b) Borrower shall not suffer or permit any breach or default to occur in any of Borrower's obligations under any of the Leases which continues beyond any applicable grace or cure period nor suffer or permit the same to terminate by reason of any failure of Borrower to meet any requirement of any Lease including those with respect to any time limitation within which any of Borrower's work is to be done or the space is to be available for occupancy by the tenant. Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to notify Lender promptly in writing in the event a tenant commits a material default under a Lease. Borrower will not waive any rights under any of the Leases and will enforce the obligations of tenants under the Leases.
(c) Upon Lender's written request after an Event of Default, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all tenant security deposits, including letters of credit (along with documentation transferring to Lender the rights of Borrower to draw on such letters of credit), which security deposits Lender shall hold pursuant to Section 2.5.2, subject in each case to the rights of the applicable tenant to the return of such security deposit in accordance with the applicable Lease. Upon forfeiture of any security deposit, after an Event of Default, the amount thereof shall be, as determined by Lender, deposited into the Property Account or applied to the Indebtedness and prior to an Event of Default, the amount thereof shall be deposited by Borrower into the Property Account.
(d) All lease termination payments or fees shall be deposited by Borrower into the Property Account.
(e) At Lender's request, with respect to any commercial Lease, Borrower shall cause the tenant under any Lease to execute a subordination and attornment agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall provide Lender with a copy of a fully executed original of each Lease and any modification thereof executed subsequent to the Closing Date promptly following its execution except for residential leases relating to a multifamily property, copies of which shall be furnished only upon request.
5.1.5 Operations.
(a) Borrower shall comply with and cause the Property to be in compliance with all Applicable Laws with regard to the Property.
(b) At all times, Guarantor shall be in charge of executing Borrower's business plan and shall exercise operational and management control, including day‑to‑day business decisions, with respect to the Property, except for those duties delegated to Property Manager under the Management Agreement. Borrower shall comply with all of the terms of the Management Agreement. Borrower shall not replace the Property Manager or modify or terminate the Management Agreement without Lender's consent. Lender shall have the right to require Borrower to replace the Property Manager with another property manager selected by Lender upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events: (i) at any time following the occurrence of an Event of Default, (ii) if Property Manager shall be in default under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (iii) if Property Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or (iv) if at any time the Property Manager has engaged in gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or misappropriation of funds.
21
(c) All Personal Property shall continue to be located on the Land. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, sell, assign, transfer, remove or permit to be removed from the Land or the Improvements any of the Personal Property. So long as no Event of Default exists, Borrower may sell or otherwise dispose of the Personal Property when obsolete, worn out, inadequate, unserviceable or unnecessary for use in connection with the Property, but only upon replacing the same with other Personal Property at least equal in value and utility to the Personal Property that is disposed, and provided that the priority and perfection of Lender's security interest is fully preserved in such replacement Personal Property. Borrower shall, from time to time, on request of Lender, deliver to Lender an inventory of the Personal Property in reasonable detail.

Upon notice from Lender of the loss, theft, or destruction of the Note and upon receipt of an affidavit of lost note and an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Borrower from Lender, or in the case of mutilation of the Note, upon surrender of the mutilated Note, Borrower shall make and deliver a new note of like tenor in lieu of the then to be superseded Note. If any of the other Loan Documents were lost or mutilated, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver replacement Loan Documents in the same form of such Loan Document(s) that were lost or mutilated.
Section 5.6 Interest Rate Protection Agreement.
5.6.1 On or prior to the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall enter into, and Borrower shall thereafter maintain in full force and effect until the Loan is repaid in full, an "Interest Rate Protection Agreement", in a notional amount not less than the Loan Amount, from an issuer that satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria and is acceptable to Lender ("Issuer"). The initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be for a term expiring no earlier than October 5, 2021. The Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall provide that if LIBOR then in effect is at any time greater than three percent (3%) (the "Strike Price"), then the Issuer shall pay to Lender, on the dates when monthly payments of interest are required to be paid to Lender under Section 2.3, an amount equal to interest on said notional amount at the Excess Rate (as hereinafter defined).
5.6.2 Not later than forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of any Interest Rate Protection Agreement, Borrower shall, at Borrower's cost and expense, replace the same with an Interest Rate Protection Agreement (i) covering a notional amount not less than the then outstanding principal balance of the Note, (ii) issued at a strike price identical to the initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (iii) issued by an issuer satisfying the Rate Cap Rating Criteria and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (iv) for a term of at least one (1) year, and (v) otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall maintain in full force and effect an Interest Rate
33
Protection Agreement until full repayment of the Indebtedness. For the avoidance of doubt, an Interest Rate Protection Agreement satisfying the Rate Cap Rating Criteria shall be in place at all times during the term of the Loan. In the event that (1) an Interest Rate Protection Agreement is terminated for any reason or is otherwise unenforceable by Lender or (2) the Issuer executing the Interest Rate Protection Agreement is not a financial institution satisfying the Rate Cap Rating Criteria, Borrower shall immediately obtain from a financial institution that satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria a replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. Borrower shall comply with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement and Borrower shall not (i) without the prior written consent of Lender, modify, amend or supplement the terms of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, (ii) without the prior written consent of Lender, except in accordance with the terms of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement, cause the termination of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement prior to its stated maturity date. All amounts paid by the Issuer under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement to Borrower or Lender shall be deposited immediately into the Blocked Account. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Lender to enforce Borrower's rights under the Interest Rate Protection Agreement in the event of a default by the Issuer thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder.
5.6.3 The cost of the initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be paid for on or prior to the date of this Agreement.
5.6.4 No Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be secured by a lien on the Property or any other asset of Borrower.
5.6.5 Each Interest Rate Protection Agreement shall be collaterally assigned to Lender pursuant to a Collateral Assignment of Interest Rate Protection Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (the "Assignment of Rate Cap Agreement"), which Assignment of Rate Cap Agreement shall be consented to by Issuer and delivered to Lender, with respect to the initial Interest Rate Protection Agreement, prior to the date of this Agreement and with respect to any replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement, prior to the expiration of the Interest Rate Protection Agreement then being replaced.
5.6.6 As used herein, "Excess Rate" shall mean an amount equal to LIBOR then in effect under Section 2.3.1(a) minus the Strike Price. As used herein, "Rate Cap Rating Criteria" means with respect to any Person, the long term unsecured debt obligations of the applicable Person are rated at least "A-" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and any successor thereto, and its equivalent rating by Moody's Investor Services, Inc., and any successor thereto. If, at any time prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuer no longer satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria, Borrower shall, within thirty (30) days following written notice from Lender, obtain and deliver to Lender a replacement Interest Rate Protection Agreement from an Issuer that satisfies the Rate Cap Rating Criteria and is acceptable to Lender, and Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a replacement Assignment of Rate Cap Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion. If LIBOR is replaced with the Replacement Index, Borrower shall enter into any modifications to this Section that Lender reasonably deems required to effect said replacement and the intent of this Section.
34
5.6.7 In the event that Lender selects, in accordance with Section 9.37 of this Agreement, a Replacement Index, Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, thereafter promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days of notification of the Replacement Index and spread, provide a replacement or modification to any then existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement to reflect the Replacement Index, any applicable corresponding adjustment to the Strike Price consistent with such Replacement Index as determined by Lender and any other terms of the existing Interest Rate Protection Agreement to reflect the Replacement Index and updated interest rate spread, all in as reasonably approved by Lender.

(a) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender in case of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceedings for the condemnation or taking of the Property, or any portion thereof, and shall promptly deliver to Lender any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in such proceedings and Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation.
(b) In case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall promptly give Lender and the insurance companies that have insured against such risks, notice of such loss or damage.

Subject to the provisions of Subsection 6.1(e) below, Lender may elect to apply upon the Indebtedness all Loss Recoveries so collected (which, for the avoidance of doubt, said Indebtedness shall include any required Interest Shortfall). Any Loss Recoveries remaining after repayment of the Indebtedness shall be paid by Lender to Borrower.
(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Lender agrees to make available the Loss Recoveries for restoration of the Improvements ("Restoration") if (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) the entire amount of the Loss Recoveries is deposited with Lender, (iii) in Lender's reasonable judgment, the amount of the Loss Recoveries available for Restoration is sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such Restoration, or if not sufficient, Borrower has deposited with Lender the Deficiency Amount, which together with the amount of the Loss Recoveries available for Restoration of the Improvements, in Lender's reasonable judgment, will
35
be sufficient to pay the full and complete costs of such Restoration, (iv) the income from the Property will not, following Restoration, decrease more than five percent (5%) as a result of such casualty or condemnation, (v) the cost of Restoration will not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Loan Amount, (vi) in Lender's sole determination after completion of Restoration the Loan Amount will not exceed seventy five percent (75%) of the fair market value of the Property, (vii) in Lender's reasonable determination, the Property can be restored to an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with Applicable Laws, (viii) each Guarantor reaffirms in writing such Guarantor's obligations under the Loan Documents, (ix) the Improvements can be restored to the same size, character, condition and value that existed prior to the damage or destruction except for immaterial changes, as determined by Lender in Lender's reasonable judgment, and (x) in Lender's reasonable determination, such Restoration will be completed not later than (A) twelve months after the casualty or condemnation and (B) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date.
(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.1, in case of loss or damage by fire or other casualty, if no Event of Default shall then exist and in Lender's reasonable judgment the cost of the Restoration is less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Note as of the date of loss or damage to the Property and/or Personal Property and the Restoration can be completed in less than one hundred twenty (120) days, then Lender shall, upon request by Borrower, permit Borrower to apply for and receive the Loss Recoveries directly from the insurer (and Lender shall advise the insurer to pay over such Loss Recoveries directly to Borrower), provided that Borrower shall apply such Loss Recoveries solely to the prompt and diligent commencement and completion of such Restoration.
Section 6.2 Borrower to Restore.
(a) Borrower shall:
(i) Proceed with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate Governmental Authorities and cause the Loss Recoveries, subject to Section 6.1(f), to be deposited with Lender;
(ii) In the event the Loss Recoveries and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient to assure Lender that all contemplated repairs or construction will be completed, promptly deposit with Lender any amount (the "Deficiency Amount") necessary to assure that such contemplated repairs or construction will be completed; and
(iii) Promptly proceed with the construction of the improvements, including the repair of all damage resulting from such casualty or condemnation and restoration of the Property to its former condition.
(b) If any Loss Recoveries are used for the Restoration, then, subject to Section 6.1(f), such Loss Recoveries together with any Deficiency Amount shall be held by Lender and shall be paid out from time to time to Borrower as the Restoration progresses (less any cost to Lender of recovering and paying out such Loss Recoveries and/or Deficiency Amount, including reasonable attorneys' fees, costs and expenses and costs allocable to inspecting the Restoration and the plans and specifications therefor), subject to each of the following conditions:
36
(i) the Restoration shall be conducted under the supervision of a certified and registered architect or engineer reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Before Borrower commences any Restoration, other than temporary work to protect property or prevent interference with business, Lender shall have approved the plans and specifications for the Restoration, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, it being nevertheless understood that such plans and specifications shall provide for Restoration so that, upon completion thereof, the Improvements shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Improvements immediately prior to the damage or destruction;
(ii) each request for payment shall be made on not less than seven (7) Business Days prior notice to Lender and shall be accompanied by a certificate of the architect or engineer in (i) above stating: (A) that all of the Restoration completed has been done in compliance with the approved plans and specifications, in all material respects, if required under (i) above; (B) that the sum requested is justly required to reimburse Borrower for payments by Borrower, or is justly due to the contractor, subcontractors, materialmen, laborers, engineers, architects or other persons or entities rendering services or materials for the Restoration (giving a brief description of such services and materials), and that when added to all sums previously paid out by Lender does not exceed the value of the Restoration done to the date of such certificate; (C) if the sum requested is to cover payment relating to repair and restoration of Personal Property required or relating to the Property, that title to the items of Personal Property covered by the request for payment is vested in Borrower; and (D) that the amount of such Loss Recoveries together with any Deficiency Amount remaining in the hands of Lender will be sufficient on completion of the Restoration to pay for the same in full (giving in such reasonable detail as Lender may require an estimate of the cost of such completion). Additionally, each request for payment shall contain a statement signed by Borrower approving both the Restoration done to date and the Restoration covered by the request for payment in question;
(iii) each request for payment shall be accompanied by waivers of lien (conditioned only on receipt of payment) satisfactory to Lender covering that part of the Restoration for which payment or reimbursement is being requested and, if required by Lender, a search prepared by a title insurance company or licensed abstractor, or by other evidence satisfactory to Lender that there has not been filed with respect to the Improvements any mechanics' or other lien relating to any part of the Restoration not discharged of record. Additionally, as to any Personal Property covered by the request for payment, Lender shall be provided with evidence of payment therefor and such further evidence satisfactory to assure Lender of its valid first lien on the Personal Property;
(iv) Lender shall have the right to inspect the Restoration at all reasonable times and may condition any disbursement of Loss Recoveries upon the satisfactory completion, as determined in Lender's sole discretion, of any portion of the Restoration for which payment or reimbursement is being requested. Neither the approval by Lender of the plans and specifications for the Restoration nor the inspection by Lender of the Restoration shall make Lender responsible for the preparation of such plans and
37
specifications or the compliance of such plans and specifications, or of the Restoration, with any applicable law, regulation, ordinance, covenant or agreement;
(v) Loss Recoveries shall not be disbursed more frequently than every thirty (30) days; and
(vi) any request for payment made after the Restoration has been completed shall be accompanied by a copy or copies of any certificate or certificates required by Applicable Law to render occupancy and full operation of the Improvements legal.
(c) Upon any failure on the part of Borrower to promptly commence the Restoration or to proceed diligently and continuously to completion of the Restoration or upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, Lender, at its sole option, shall be entitled to apply at any time all or any portion of the Loss Recoveries it then or thereafter holds to the repayment of the Indebtedness or to the curing of any Event of Default.
(d) Upon completion of the Restoration and payment in full therefor any unexpended Loss Recoveries, at the sole option of Lender, shall either be paid over to Borrower or shall be applied to the reduction of the Indebtedness without any prepayment fee that would otherwise be applicable to a prepayment of the Loan at that time.

(a) declare the Indebtedness to be, and the Indebtedness shall thereupon become, immediately due and payable (and Borrower hereby agrees to pay all such Indebtedness) without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, anything contained herein or in the Note to the contrary notwithstanding;
(b) terminate the Lender's obligations under this Agreement to extend credit of any kind or to make any disbursement, whereupon the commitment and obligations of the Lender to extend credit hereunder shall terminate;

40
judgment is necessary or desirable to fulfill, pay, settle or compromise the obligation of Borrower hereunder and continue to operate the Property. Without limiting any of the other provisions of this Agreement, after an Event of Default, Lender and its designees, representatives, agents, licensees and contractors shall be entitled to such entry, possession and use without the consent of any party and without any legal process or other condition precedent whatsoever. Borrower acknowledges that any denial of such entry, possession and use by Lender will cause irreparable injury and damages to Lender and Lender shall be entitled to injunctive relief to obtain such entry;
(d) use and apply any monies or letters of credit deposited by Borrower with Lender or in the Blocked Account to cure any such default or to apply on account of any Indebtedness; and
(e) exercise or pursue any other remedy or cause of action permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, or conferred upon Lender by operation of Law.
7.2.2 Attorney in Fact. Without restricting the generality of the foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and constitutes Lender its lawful attorney‑in‑fact with full power of substitution in the Property to, at any time after an Event of Default: complete any Construction Project, use unadvanced funds remaining under the Note or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the face amount of the Note; make changes in the applicable Construction Documents which shall be necessary or desirable to complete each such Construction Project; terminate, retain or employ general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and inspectors as Lender determines shall be required for said purposes; pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to avoid such bills and claims becoming liens against the Property; execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with any Construction Project; take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of the bonds to be furnished and to make settlements and compromises with the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which Borrower might do on its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
7.2.3 Payments by Lender. All sums whatsoever paid or incurred by Lender hereunder of any kind whatsoever, shall bear interest from the date of payment or incurrence at the Default Rate and such amounts, including interest, shall be deemed and shall constitute advances of Loan proceeds under this Agreement.
7.2.4 Automatic Acceleration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 7.1(h) and 7.1(j) with respect to Borrower, all Indebtedness shall automatically become due and payable, without any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind to Borrower.
7.2.5 Failure to Clear Liens. If Borrower shall fail promptly to discharge any mechanics' claim filed or otherwise asserted or to contest any such claim and to cause the Title Company to insure against such claim in the manner required by this Agreement, or, having
41
commenced to contest the same, if Borrower shall thereafter fail to prosecute such contest in good faith or with due diligence, or fail to maintain such security or indemnity so required by the Title Company for its full amount, or, upon adverse conclusion of any such contest, if Borrower shall fail to cause any judgment or decree to be satisfied and lien to be released, then, and in any such event, upon giving notice to Borrower, Lender may, but shall not be required to, (i) procure the release and discharge of any such claim and any judgment or decree thereon, without inquiring into or investigating the amount, validity or enforceability of such lien or claim, and (ii) effect any settlement or compromise of the same or furnish the security or indemnity required by the Title Company. Any amounts so expended by Lender, including premiums paid or security furnished in connection with the issuance of any surety company bonds, shall be paid by Borrower immediately upon Lender's demand.
7.2.6 Continuance of an Event of Default. If Borrower cures an Event of Default and Lender accepts in writing such cure, then such Event of Default shall no longer be deemed an "Event of Default" hereunder or under any other Loan Document and any remedies, actions or covenants under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents qualified by terms such as "upon an Event of Default", "because of the occurrence of an Event of Default", "after an Event of Default" and other similar terms shall no longer be applicable as a result of such Event of Default.

Section 9.1 Costs and Expenses. Borrower unconditionally agrees to pay all Charges within five (5) Business Days of written demand therefor and if not paid within said five (5) day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date repaid. All Charges and any interest accrued thereon shall constitute additional Indebtedness. In addition to, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, if at any time prior to repayment of the Indebtedness in full, Lender employs counsel, consultants or appraisers for advice or other representation, whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed and whether or not other legal proceedings have been or shall be instituted, with respect to any of the Loan Documents, or to protect, collect, lease, sell, take possession of, or liquidate any of the Collateral in connection with the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or otherwise, or to attempt to enforce any security interest or lien in any of the Collateral, or to enforce any rights of Lender or any of Borrower's obligations hereunder or those of any other person, firm or corporation which may be obligated to Lender by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents heretofore or hereafter delivered to Lender by or for the benefit of Borrower, then, in any such event, all of the reasonable fees and expenses incurred by Lender arising from such services, and all expenses, costs and charges relating thereto, shall be deemed to be "Charges", payable within five (5) Business Days of written demand and if not paid within said five (5) Business Day period shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred until the date repaid. Any Charges due and payable by Borrower hereunder which are not paid by Borrower within five (5) Business Days after written demand may be paid from any Revenues or other amounts then in the possession of Lender or Servicer, with notice thereof to Borrower.
Section 9.2 Administrative Fees. Borrower shall pay to Lender a loan administration fee of $12,000 per annum, which shall be payable annually in advance. In addition, Borrower acknowledges and confirms that Lender may impose certain administrative processing and/or commitment fees in connection with any Event (which may be increased or decreased from time to time). Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees, as provided in Section 9.1, to pay such Charges, within five (5) Business Days of written demand.
Section 9.3 Effect of Inspections and Investigations. The authority herein conferred upon Lender, and any action taken by Lender, to inspect the Property, will be exercised
45
and taken by Lender for its own protection only and shall not be relied upon by Borrower for any purpose whatsoever and any action taken by Lender or Lender's environmental consultant to review any environmental reports or to assess any environmental matters in connection with the Property will be exercised and taken by Lender and by Lender's environmental consultant for their own protection only and shall not be relied upon by Borrower for any purpose whatsoever; and neither Lender nor Lender's environmental consultant shall be deemed to have assumed any responsibility to Borrower with respect to any such action herein authorized or taken by Lender, or Lender's environmental consultant or with respect to the Property, or prevention of mechanics' liens from being claimed or asserted against the Property or review and assessment of environmental matters. Any review, investigation or inspection conducted by Lender, any environmental, architectural or engineering consultants retained by Lender or any agent or representative of Lender in order to verify Borrower's performance of any of the covenants, agreements and obligations of Borrower under this Agreement, or the validity of any representations and warranties made hereunder (regardless of whether or not the party conducting such review, investigation or inspection should have discovered that any of such conditions precedent were not satisfied or that any such covenants, agreements or obligations were not performed or that any such representations or warranties were not true), shall neither affect nor constitute a waiver by Lender of (i) any representations and warranties under this Agreement or Lender's reliance thereon or (ii) Lender's reliance upon any certifications of Borrower required under this Agreement or any other facts, information or reports furnished Lender hereunder.
Section 9.4 Acquiescence not to Constitute Waiver of Lender's Requirements. Each and every covenant and condition for the benefit of Lender contained in this Agreement may be waived by Lender, provided, however, that, to the extent that Lender may have acquiesced in any noncompliance with any conditions precedent to the making of the Loan, such acquiescence shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver by Lender of any such conditions precedent with respect to any future disbursements of Loan proceeds.
Section 9.5 Advances by Lender. Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to do any and all acts which Lender may determine reasonably necessary to assure the protection of the Collateral and the lien or charge of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, during the continuance of an Event of Default and in addition to the rights under Article 7 hereof and any remedies set forth in the other Loan Documents, the settlement, compromise or contest of any lien or claim of lien, the taking of possession of the Property and completion of all the work contemplated hereby and the commencement of, appearance in, or defense of any action or proceeding purporting to affect the rights, obligations or duties of the parties hereto. Any expense paid or incurred, or any advance made by Lender in such connection, shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within five (5) Business Days of written demand. Such amounts as are advanced or expended by Lender hereunder and any other amounts advanced by Lender pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be secured by the Mortgage and the lien effected by any of the other Loan Documents and shall bear interest from the date of advance or expenditure at the Default Rate.
Section 9.6 Increased Costs. Borrower agrees to pay Lender additional amounts to compensate Lender for the reduction of any amounts received or receivable from Borrower as a result of any change after the date hereof in any Applicable Laws or by any
46
domestic or foreign court, changing the basis of taxation of payments under this Agreement to Lender excluding taxes imposed on or measured by the net income or receipts of Lender or any franchise tax imposed on Lender. Any amount payable by Borrower under this Section 9.6 shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of receipt by Borrower of a notice by Lender setting forth the amount due and the basis for the determination of such amount, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error. Failure on the part of Lender to demand payment from Borrower for any such amount attributable to any particular period shall not constitute a waiver of Lender's right to demand payment of such amount for any subsequent or prior period.
Section 9.7 Tax Liability. If by reason of a change in any Applicable Laws occurring after the date hereof, (a) Borrower is required to make any deduction or withholding in respect of any taxes, duties or other charges from any payment due under the Loan Documents, (b) Lender is charged with responsibility for the payment of all or any part of the Impositions or (c) the method of collecting Impositions is changed so as to affect Lender's rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the liens and security interests granted under the Loan Documents, then upon Lender's demand Borrower shall pay to Lender the amount determined by Lender as necessary to fully compensate Lender for all losses that Lender may suffer as a result of such change; provided that if Lender determines that it may be unlawful to charge Borrower for such losses then Lender shall have the right to declare all Indebtedness to be fully due and payable not earlier than ninety (90) days from the date of such declaration.
Section 9.8 Document and Recording Tax Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against and be responsible for any claim that any documentary stamp or mortgage tax is due and payable in connection with the Loan or the execution, delivery or recording of the Loan Documents and to pay such taxes and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith. Borrower may contest any determination that any such taxes are due, but shall pay any such taxes (including penalties and interest) when legally required. The indemnity obligations contained in this Section shall survive repayment of the Loan.
Section 9.9 Secondary Market.
9.9.1 Secondary Market Transactions.
(a) Lender shall have the right (i) to make a Loan Transfer, (ii) to grant any Participation, (iii) subject to Section 9.9.1(b)(iv), to bifurcate or restructure the Loan into two or more components and/or additional separate notes and/or creating additional senior/subordinate loan and/or note structure(s) (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) (which may include component notes and/or senior and junior notes) and/or issue one or more participations therein, which restructuring may include reallocation of principal amounts of the Loan, notes and/or the components, the elimination of the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments) or the restructuring of a portion of the Loan into one or more mezzanine loans to the direct and/or indirect owners of the equity interests in Borrower, secured by a pledge of such interests (and establish different interest rates and to reallocate the amortization and principal balances of the Loan between each such mortgage and mezzanine loan component, and to require the payment of the Loan and such
47
mezzanine loan in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender, and bear such interest rates and principal balances, and include an allocation of monthly debt service payments as Lender may determine), (any of the foregoing, a "Loan Bifurcation") or (iv) to securitize the Loan (or any portion thereof or interest therein) in a commercial mortgage backed securitization or any other public offering or private placement ("Securitization"). Any certificates, notes or other securities issued in connection with a Securitization are hereinafter referred to as "Securities". The transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall hereinafter be referred to collectively as "Secondary Market Transactions".
(b) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies to be included in any Disclosure Document or otherwise in connection with any Secondary Market Transactions, including, without limitation, to:
(i) provide (A) updated financial and other information with respect to the Property, the business operated at the Property, Borrower, Guarantor, and Property Manager, (B) updated budgets relating to the Property and (C) updated appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews, property condition reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property (the "Updated Information"), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of the Updated Information through "comfort" letters of auditors or opinions of counsel acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(iii) provide updated, as of the closing date of the Secondary Market Transaction, representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents and such reasonable and customary additional representations and warranties as the Rating Agencies may reasonably require;
(iv) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower's organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender or requested by the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect any Secondary Market Transaction, including, without limitation, (A) to provide for or modify non-economic "springing member" and/or "independent director" provisions, in each case, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Rating Agencies and (B) to modify all operative dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc.) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to so modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would require prepaid interest or would change the interest rate, the stated maturity (except as
48
provided in subclause (B) above) or the amortization of principal set forth herein, except in connection with a Loan Bifurcation which may result in varying fixed interest rates and amortization schedules, but which shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note; provided, further that in no event shall Borrower be obligated to pay to Lender interest at a cumulative interest rate higher than the Interest Rate or, if applicable, the Default Rate required to be paid on the principal balance of the Loan as provided in Section 2.3.1(a) above; and
(v) in connection with the creation of any mezzanine loan as described above, cause the formation of one or more Special Purpose Entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any such mezzanine loan (and the applicable organizational documents of Borrower and such new entity shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender in form and content), and Borrower shall deliver to Lender a "UCC-9" insurance policy and a mezzanine endorsement to the owner's policy of title insurance held by Borrower, and such opinions of legal counsel as Lender may reasonably require.
(c) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender from time to time such financial data and financial statements as Lender reasonably determines to be necessary, advisable or appropriate for complying with any applicable legal requirements (including those applicable to Lender or any servicer (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, Regulation AB)) within the timeframes reasonably necessary, advisable or appropriate in order to comply with such legal requirements.
(d) In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender shall have the right, and Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, to disclose any and all information in Lender's possession regarding Borrower, Guarantor, any Property Manager, the Property and/or the Loan in any offering circular, a prospectus, prospectus supplement, private placement memorandum or other offering or disclosure document, in any promotional or marketing materials that are prepared by or on behalf of Lender in connection with such Secondary Market Transaction or in connection with any oral or written presentation made by or on behalf of Lender, including without limitation, to any actual or potential investors and any Rating Agencies.
(e) Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business Days after request by Lender or, if all or part of the Loan is being or has been included in a Securitization, by the Rating Agencies, furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender and, if applicable, the Rating Agencies, in such manner and in such detail as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies, such reasonable additional information as may be reasonably requested with respect to the Property.
(f) Lender shall pay all of Lender's costs and expenses that arise in connection with the consummation of any Secondary Market Transaction; and Lender shall pay (or reimburse Borrower for) Borrower's reasonable, actual attorneys' fees incurred in connection therewith in an amount not to exceed $10,000.
49
9.9.2 Indemnification.
(a) In connection with filings under Exchange Act and/or the Securities Act or Disclosure Documents, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group and the Underwriter Group for losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the "Liabilities") to which Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Disclosure Document a material fact required to be stated in the Disclosure Document in order to make the statements in the Disclosure Document, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that the Liabilities arise out of material misstatements or omissions of material fact in the written information relating to Borrower, Guarantor and the Property furnished to Lender, the Lender Group or the Underwriter Group by or on behalf of Borrower expressly for use in a Disclosure Document. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no liability pursuant to the terms of the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) for (A) any Liabilities resulting from the gross negligence, willful misconduct, illegal acts or fraud of Lender, the Lender Group or their respective agents, (B) in excess of the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan, or (C) failure by Lender, the Lender Group or any third party or their respective agents to comply with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any other federal, state or other securities or "blue sky laws" or any regulations thereunder.
(b) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.9.2 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 9.9.2, 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 satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party under this Section 9.9.2, such indemnified party shall pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; 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 additional to 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 at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably
50
concluded that there may be causes of action or legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.
(c) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Lender under this Section 9.9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Indebtedness. Failure by Borrower and/or any Guarantor to comply with the provisions of Section 9.9.1 and/or Section 9.9.2 within the timeframes specified therein and/or as otherwise required by Lender shall, at Lender's option, constitute a breach of the terms thereof and/or an Event of Default. Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to take any actions required of Borrower under Sections 9.9.1 and/or 9.9.2 in the event Borrower fails to do the same, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest.
9.9.3 Reserves/Escrows. In the event that Securities are issued in connection with the Loan, all funds held by Lender in escrow or pursuant to reserves in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deposited in "eligible accounts" at "eligible institutions" and, to the extent applicable, invested in "permitted investments" as then defined and required by the Rating Agencies.
9.9.4 Servicer. At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/special servicer/trustee selected by Lender (collectively, the "Servicer") and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to such Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement between Lender and such Servicer (the "Servicing Agreement"). Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement and Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Other than as set forth in the preceding sentence, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer (which fees and expenses, prior to an Event of Default, must be reasonable) and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, releases of the Property, approvals under the Loan Documents requested by Borrower, other requests under the Loan, assumption of Borrower's obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including, special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, attorneys' fees and expenses and other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan. All amounts payable to Lender or Servicer in exercising its rights under this Section 9.9.4 (including, but not limited to, disbursements, advances and reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection therewith), shall be payable within five (5) Business Days demand, secured by this Agreement and interest thereon shall accrue at the Default Rate from the date incurred.
9.9.5 Rating Agency Costs. In connection with any Rating Agency Confirmation or other Rating Agency consent, approval or review required hereunder (other than the initial review of the Loan by the Rating Agencies in connection with a Securitization), Borrower shall pay all of the costs and expenses of Lender, Servicer and each Rating Agency in connection therewith, and, if applicable, shall pay any fees imposed by any Rating Agency in connection therewith.
51
9.9.6 Conversion to Registered Form. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the "Registrar") reasonably acceptable to Lender which shall maintain, subject to such reasonable regulations as it shall provide, such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the IRS Code. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligation of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of any particular person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.
Section 9.10 Cooperation with SEC Financial Information Requirements. Borrower acknowledges that Lender or one of its Affiliates (either Lender or said Affiliate, the "Registered Company") has sold or may sell securities in transactions registered with the SEC or is or may be required to file certain filings with the SEC (the "SEC Filings") that may relate to, among other matters, the Loan, Borrower and/or the Property. If requested by Lender for the purpose of satisfying SEC regulations, all financial statements provided by Borrower shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP. Borrower covenants and agrees that upon two (2) Business Days' notice, Borrower shall provide Lender and the Registered Company and their representatives access to the books and records of Borrower and the Property (including, to the extent reasonably available and requested, related to the Property with respect to periods prior to Borrower's ownership of the Property) so that Lender and Registered Company and their representatives may prepare the SEC Filings, including the financial information required therein, and conduct any required audit or review of such financial information. In addition, to the extent additional financial data or financial statements or related information (including audits and independent accountant consents) are required to be included in the SEC Filings of Lender or one of its Affiliates, Borrower shall furnish such financial statements, data or information to Lender within ten (10) days after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of the SEC Filing. Borrower further agrees to cooperate with the reasonable requests of Lender in connection with the foregoing.
Section 9.11 Disclosure of Information. Lender shall have the right to make available to any party for the purpose of any Secondary Market Transaction, SEC Filings or any other financing created or obtained in connection with the Loan (including any prospective purchaser, any Rating Agency, any Governmental Authority and any prospective bidder at any foreclosure sale of the Property) any and all information that Lender may have with respect to the Property, Borrower and Guarantor, whether provided by Borrower, any Guarantor or any third party or obtained as a result of any environmental assessments. Borrower and Guarantor agree that Lender shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of delivering any such information to any third party, and Borrower and each Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby releases and discharges Lender from any and all liability, claims, damages, or causes of action, arising out of, connected with or incidental to the delivery of any such information to any third party. Borrower and each Guarantor irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under Applicable Laws to prohibit disclosure, including but not limited to any right of privacy. Further, Borrower and each Guarantor acknowledge that such information may be transmitted via the internet or by email.
52
Section 9.12 Notices. All Notices shall be in writing and shall be (a) delivered in person, in which event the Notice shall be deemed received when delivery is actually made, (b) telecopied, in which event the Notice shall be deemed received on the date of transmission if transmission is confirmed before 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on a Business Day or if transmission is confirmed after 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, then on the next Business Day provided that the sender obtains electronic confirmation of receipt and that a copy of such Notice is also delivered pursuant to clause (a) or (c); or (c) sent by overnight courier for next business day delivery, in which event the Notice shall be deemed received on the first Business Day after delivery to, and acceptance for delivery by, the courier. All such Notices shall be addressed to the party for whom the Notice is intended, with a copy to its attorney, at their respective Addresses indicated in Section 1.1 of this Agreement and if sent by facsimile such Notices shall be sent to the facsimile number set forth in Section 1.1. Either party may change its Address or facsimile number by giving written notice to the other in accordance with the foregoing notice provision.
Section 9.13 No Waiver. No failure by Lender to exercise, or delay by Lender in exercising, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law. No notice to or demand on Borrower or any Guarantor in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower or such Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.
Section 9.14 Inurement. This Agreement and the Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that no assignment by Borrower shall be effective, except as provided herein.
Section 9.15 Form of Documents. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to Lender shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender.
Section 9.16 Time is of the Essence. Time is hereby declared to be of the essence of this Agreement and of every part hereof.
Section 9.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Commitment constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and those of the other Loan Documents, Commitment or Term Sheet, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. This Agreement supersedes any other agreement, oral or written, made by Lender with or for the benefit of Borrower. Borrower hereto acknowledges that, except as may be expressly stated in this Agreement, no statements, representations, promises or inducements, whether express, implied or otherwise, of any kind, nature or description whatsoever have been made to Borrower as an inducement to entering into this Agreement or otherwise, by Lender or any
53
representative of Lender, and that Borrower has not relied on any statements, representations, promises or inducements other than as expressly stated in this Agreement.

Section 9.23 Partial Invalidity; Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the application thereof to any person, party or circumstances, shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or the application of such provision or provisions to persons, parties or circumstances other than those as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and every provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law and to this end, the provisions of this Agreement and all the other Loan Documents are declared to be severable. All covenants and agreements of Borrower and Guarantors shall be joint and several.
Section 9.24 Definitions Include Amendments. Definitions contained in this Agreement, its Exhibits, Schedule and Rider (if any) which identify documents, including, but not limited to, the Loan Documents, shall be deemed to include all amendments and supplements to such documents from the date hereof, and all future amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto entered into from time to time to satisfy the requirements of this Agreement or otherwise with the consent of Lender.

54
profits, whatever the nature of a breach by Lender of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and Borrower waives all claims for punitive, exemplary or consequential damages.
Section 9.26 Claims Against Lender. Lender shall not be in default under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Documents, unless a written notice specifically setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within thirty (30) days after Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter.
Section 9.27 Set‑Offs. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Lender from time to time to charge Borrower's accounts and deposits with Lender or its Affiliates, and to pay over to Lender an amount equal to any amounts from time to time due and payable to Lender hereunder, under the Note or under any other Loan Document.
Section 9.28 Relationship. The relationship between Lender and Borrower shall be that of creditor-debtor only. No term in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by Lender to Borrower or any other party.
Section 9.29 Agents.
(a) In exercising any rights under the Loan Documents or taking any actions provided for therein, Lender may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by Lender.
(b) At all times when there is a Lender other than (including in addition to) ACRC Lender LLC under this Agreement, the Lenders shall be deemed to appoint and authorize the Administrative Agent to act for all purposes as their agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.29 shall not apply to any time when the Administrative Agent is the sole Lender.
(c) At all times when there is more than one Lender, (1) Borrower (A) is entitled to rely on the Administrative Agent for any waiver, amendment, approval or consent given by "Lender" under the Loan Documents, (B) shall adhere only to waivers, amendments, approvals or consents given by Administrative Agent, on behalf of "Lender" under the Loan Documents, and (C) shall make all payments under the Note and the other Loan Documents to Administrative Agent, as set forth herein, and (2) Administrative Agent shall, on behalf of all of the Lenders, be permitted to take all actions, including exercising all remedies, permitted to be taken by "Lender" under the Loan Documents (either by law or pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents), and (3) all legal action taken respecting the Loan Documents shall be taken by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and all default notices under the Loan Documents will be provided by the Administrative Agent. Unless and until the Lenders notify Borrower otherwise, the Administrative Agent is ACRC Lender LLC. The use of the term "agent" in this Agreement with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express)
55
obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Note, unless otherwise directed by Administrative Agent in writing, all payments under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3 of this Agreement.
(d) If the Administrative Agent is also a Lender hereunder it shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent, and the term "Lender" or "Lenders" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity.
