LOAN AGREEMENT
THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of November 14, 2012 (as amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Agreement”), between LADDER CAPITAL FINANCE LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 345 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10154 (together with its successors and assigns, collectively, “Lender”) and RUDGATE VILLAGE SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, RUDGATE CLINTON SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and RUDGATE CLINTON ESTATES SPE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, each having an address at 201 W. Big Beaver Road, Suite 1050, Troy, Michigan 48084 (together with their permitted successors and assigns, collectively, “Borrower”).
W I T N E S S E T H :
WHEREAS, Borrower desires to obtain the Loan from Lender; and
WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan to Borrower, subject to and in accordance with the conditions and terms of the Loan Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree, represent and warrant as follows:
ARTICLE 1:    DEFINITIONS; PRINCIPLES OF CONSTRUCTION
Section 1.1    Definitions.
For all purposes of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings set forth on Schedule I attached hereto.
Section 1.2    Principles of Construction.
All references to sections and schedules are to sections and schedules in or to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement and the word “including” shall mean “including but not limited to”. Unless otherwise specified, all meanings attributed to defined terms herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms so defined.
ARTICLE 2:    THE LOAN
Section 2.1    The Loan.
2.1.1    Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Lender shall make the Loan to Borrower and Borrower shall accept the Loan from Lender on the Closing Date.

    



2.1.2    The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by that certain Promissory Note of even date herewith in the stated principal amount of FORTY FIVE MILLION NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($45,900,000.00) executed by Borrower and payable to the order of Lender in evidence of the Loan (as the same may hereafter be amended, supplemented, restated, increased, extended or consolidated from time to time, the “Note”) and shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Note.
2.1.3    Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) pay and discharge any existing loans, if any, relating to the Properties, (b) pay all past-due Taxes, insurance premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Properties, (c) make initial deposits of the Reserve Funds, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, and (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Properties. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose.
Section 2.2    Interest Rate.
2.2.1    Interest Rate. Subject to the further provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Sections 2.2.2 and 2.2.4 hereof, the Outstanding Principal Balance shall bear interest throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2    Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall, at Lender’s election, accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date the Default occurred which led to such Event of Default, without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect.
2.2.3    Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as then applicable, expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (c) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.
2.2.4    Usury Savings. The Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of the Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder.

    2



All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by any Legal Requirements, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3    Loan Payments; Term of Loan.
2.3.1    Payments Before Stated Maturity Date. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on the Closing Date for the period from the Closing Date through and including the next succeeding fifth (5th) day of a calendar month, whether such fifth (5th) day shall occur in the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs or in the month immediately succeeding the month in which the Closing Date occurs (unless the Closing Date is the sixth day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Lender shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day each month which is not more than five (5) days earlier nor more than ten (10) days later than the sixth (6th) day of each calendar month. Each interest accrual period (the “Interest Period”) thereafter shall commence on the sixth (6th) day of each calendar month during the Term and shall end on and include the fifth (5th) day of the next occurring calendar month; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the interest accrual period correspondingly. Commencing on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in December, 2012 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter throughout the Term, Borrower shall make a constant monthly payment of $236,677.30 to Lender (each such payment, a “Monthly Debt Service Payment”), which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal. All amounts due under this Agreement and the Note shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.2    Payment on Maturity Date. The Loan shall mature on the Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due under the Loan Documents.
2.3.3    Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents, other than the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by any Legal Requirements, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4    Method and Place of Payment.

    3



(a)    Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or at such other place as Lender shall from time to time designate, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b)    Whenever any payment to be made under any Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c)    All payments required to be made by Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.
Section 2.4    Prepayments.
2.4.1    Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part. Subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof, on the Open Prepayment Date, and on any Business Day thereafter, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole only without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.1 shall be accompanied by (a) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, the next occurring Monthly Payment Date (or, if such prepayment occurs on a Monthly Payment Date, through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date), (b) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (c) all reasonable, actual, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment (including, without limitation, costs incurred to prepare release of lien documentation). In the event Borrower revokes any prepayment notice, Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred or suffered by Lender in connection with such revocation.
2.4.2    Mandatory Prepayments. On the next occurring Monthly Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, if Lender does not make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt in any order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Any prepayment received by Lender under this Section 2.4.2 shall be (a) subject to Section 2.4.3 hereof if an Event of Default then exists and (b) accompanied by (i) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date, (ii) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (iii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

    4



no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3    Prepayments After Default. If, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, prepayment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower (which tender may be rejected by Lender to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements) or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Monthly Payment Date and such prepayment shall be applied first to the Monthly Debt Service Payment due on such date and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, (i) an amount equal to the greater of (x) five percent (5%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, and (y) the Yield Maintenance Premium on the Outstanding Principal Balance, or portion thereof then being prepaid or satisfied, as of the date such prepayment is paid to Lender, (ii) all interest which would have accrued on the principal amount prepaid through, but not including, such Monthly Payment Date, (iii) if such prepayment occurs prior to the final sale of the Loan in a Secondary Market Transaction, Hedge Losses, (iv) all other sums due and payable under the Loan Documents, and (v) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such prepayment.
Section 2.5    Intentionally Omitted.
Section 2.6    Defeasance.
2.6.1    Conditions to Defeasance. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time after the earlier of the date which is (y) two (2) years after the “startup day,” within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code, for the REMIC Trust established in connection with the last Securitization involving any portion of the Loan or (z) three (3) years after the date hereof, and before the Open Prepayment Date, Borrower may cause the release of the Properties from the Lien of the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (collectively, a “Defeasance”):
(a)    not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given to Lender specifying a date (the “Release Date”) on which the Defeasance Collateral is to be delivered, such Release Date to occur only on a Monthly Payment Date, or if on any other date, Borrower shall pay accrued and unpaid interest through the next occurring Monthly Payment Date;
(b)    all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums due under the Loan Documents up to the Release Date, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such release (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses incurred by attorneys and accountants in connection with the review of the proposed Defeasance Collateral and the preparation of the Defeasance Security Agreement and related documentation), shall be paid in

    5



full on or prior to the Release Date; and
(c)    Borrower shall deliver to Lender on or prior to the Release Date:
(i)    an amount equal to that which is sufficient to purchase U.S. Obligations that provide for payments (A) on or prior to, but as close as possible to and including, all successive scheduled Monthly Payment Dates after the Release Date through the Open Prepayment Date and (B) in amounts equal to or greater than the Monthly Debt Service Payment through and including the Open Prepayment Date together with payment in full of the Outstanding Principal Balance as of the Open Prepayment Date (the “Defeasance Collateral”), each of which shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to create a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing granting of such security interests;

Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation, in each case reasonably acceptable to Lender evidencing the Policies, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.
(c)    Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Lender’s approval and shall specifically allocate to each Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder or shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a).

(e)    All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a), except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
(i)    no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or of any Tenant 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 affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
(ii)    the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured and, if obtainable by Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and
(iii)    Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

    34



(f)    If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Properties, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

(h)    If any of the Policies include any exclusions for loss, cost, damage or liability caused by “terrorism” or “terrorist acts”, Borrower shall obtain and maintain terrorism coverage to cover such exclusion(s) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 (a “Qualified Carrier”) or, in the event that such terrorism coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrower shall obtain such terrorism coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such terrorism coverage.
5.1.2    Insurance Company. All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1 (a) shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the State where the Properties are located, with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by S&P or “AXII” or better by A.M.Best’s; (b) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as their interest may appear as Lender and Mortgagee; (c) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause and a Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (d) shall, with respect to all liability policies, name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as an additional insured; (e) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (f) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing that neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies and that Lender shall receive at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation; and (g) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Certificates of insurance, or upon the request of Lender, certified copies of the Policies, shall be delivered to Lender, at 345 Park Avenue, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10154, Attention: Pamela McCormack, on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies; provided, however, that if certified copies of the current

    35



Policies are not available on the date requested, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certified copies of such Policies within ten (10) days after such Policies are available. Borrower shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to pay such Insurance Premiums nor furnish such evidence of payment to Lender in the event that the amounts required to pay such Insurance Premiums have been deposited into the Insurance Account pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof). In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1) above, Borrower shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender, and is reasonable and customary for properties similar to the Properties, in order to protect its interests. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.
Section 5.2    Casualty and Condemnation.
5.2.1    Casualty. If either Property shall sustain a Casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of such Property as nearly as possible to the condition such Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 5.3, it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore such Property to the precise condition of such Property prior to such Casualty provided such Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, submit proof of loss if not submitted promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments; provided, however, if Borrower fails to settle and adjust such claim within ninety (90) days after the Casualty, Lender shall have the right to settle and adjust such claim at Borrower’s cost and without Borrower’s consent; provided, however, that if during such ninety-day period Borrower has commenced and is diligently pursuing efforts to settle and adjust such claim, then the ninety-day period shall be extended by an additional ninety (90) days. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement.

    36



5.2.2    Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened in writing Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of either Property and shall deliver to Lender a copy of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Borrower may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable and timely manner. In the event a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default then exists, Borrower may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by any Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If either Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. If either Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
5.2.3    Casualty Proceeds.
(a)    Subject to Section 5.2.3(b), payments received on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 5.1.1(a)(iii) above shall be deposited directly into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above, and provided that no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, proceeds received by Lender on account of business or rental interruption or other loss of income insurance specified in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) above shall be (a) during the continuance of a Cash Management Period, deposited by Lender into the Cash Management Account (in installments relating to the relevant period) to the extent such proceeds (or a portion thereof) reflect a replacement for lost Rents for the relevant period, as reasonably determined by Lender in good faith and such proceeds shall be applied by Lender in accordance with Section 6.11 hereof and (b) provided that no Cash Management Period shall have occurred and be continuing, held by Lender and disbursed to Borrower (in installments relating to the relevant period) to the extent such proceeds (or a portion thereof) reflect a replacement for lost Rents for the relevant period, as determined by Lender in good faith. All other such proceeds not reflecting a replacement for lost Rents shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3

    37



hereof.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied repay the Loan in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay off the Loan in full.
Section 5.3    Delivery of Net Proceeds.
5.3.1    Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to either Property and the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and remain uncured, and that the condition in Section 5.3.2(a)(xiv) below has been satisfied, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Borrower shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Net Proceeds are received by Borrower and may be retained by Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held for the benefit of Lender and shall be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof.
5.3.2    Major Casualty or Condemnation.
(a)    If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to either Property and the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:
(i)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(ii)    (A) in the event the Net Proceeds consists of Insurance Proceeds received in connection with a Casualty, then less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the pad sites at the applicable Property have been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award received in connection with a Condemnation, then less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the applicable Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the applicable Property, and no pad sites are the subject of such

    38



Condemnation;
(iii)    Intentionally omitted;
(iv)    the Management Agreement and all Operating Agreements shall remain in full force and effect during and after completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;
(v)    Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(vi)    Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits and all payments of principal and interest under the Note will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Borrower;
(vii)    Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (B) intentionally omitted, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the applicable Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, or (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), without giving effect to any extended period of indemnity endorsement in respect of such coverage;
(viii)    the applicable Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;
(ix)    the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements;
(x)    such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the applicable Property or the related Improvements;
(xi)    Borrower shall deliver to Lender a signed, detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be acceptable to Lender, to the extent same is commercially reasonable;
(xii)    the Net Proceeds, together with any cash or cash equivalent

    39



deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration;
(xiii)    the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration and a reasonable lease up period, shall be equal to or greater than 1.10 to 1.00; and
(xiv)    notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of the Mortgage following a Condemnation (taking into account any planned Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) (based solely on real property and excluding any personal property or going concern value) (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust), no Net Proceeds will be released to Borrower unless the principal balance of the Loan is paid down by a “qualified amount” as such term is defined in IRS Rev. Proc.  2010‑30, as the same may be modified, supplemented, superseded or amended from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that, if the foregoing prepayment is not made, the applicable REMIC Trust will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of such release.
(b)    The Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (i) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (ii) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (iii) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanics’ or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the applicable Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.
(c)    All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to

    40



the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the applicable Property prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the applicable Property to the precise condition of the applicable Property prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, provided the applicable Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable. Borrower shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material Legal Requirements. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged, pursuant to contracts in excess of $25,000, in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrower.
(d)    In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Article 5 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the applicable Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers

    41



the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(e)    Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(f)    If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable, good faith opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(g)    The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents; provided, however, the amount of such excess returned to Borrower in the case of a Condemnation shall not exceed the amount of Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited by Borrower with the balance being applied to the Debt in the manner provided for in subsection 5.3.2(h).
(h)    All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.3.2(g) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall designate; provided that if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be

continuing, without defeasance or payment of Yield Maintenance or any other penalty or charge.
ARTICLE 6:    CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS
Section 6.1    Cash Management Arrangements. Once the Clearing Accounts are established pursuant to the Post Closing Letter, Borrower and Manager shall deposit all Rents and other Gross Revenue collected by Borrower, Manager or their Affiliates directly into the appropriate trust account (the “Clearing Accounts”) established and maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower and reasonably approved by Lender and Manager (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreements. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Borrower or Manager receive any Rents or other Gross Revenue from either Property, then (a) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (b) before being deposited in the applicable Clearing Account, such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager, and (c) Borrower or Manager shall deposit such amounts in the appropriate Clearing Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Accounts shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into the appropriate Borrower’s operating account at the Clearing Bank (subject to maintaining the Retained Balance in the Clearing Accounts), unless a Cash Management Period has occurred and is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Cash Management Bank controlled by Lender (the “Cash Management Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Cash Management Account may be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. As an alternative to establishing each Account required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement as a separate Eligible Account, Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Cash Management Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) whereupon all provisions of this Agreement referring to (i) any Account shall be deemed to apply instead to the corresponding subaccount and (ii) to the Accounts generally shall be deemed to apply instead to the Cash Management Account. The Clearing Accounts, the Cash Management Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall have no right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 are referred to herein as the “Tax Funds”. If at any

    43



time, Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective dates the Taxes become delinquent; provided that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Taxes are due, Borrower will deposit with or on behalf of Lender, such amount within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of such notice.
6.3.2    Release of Tax Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, apply the Tax Funds, if any, in the Tax Account to payments of Taxes. In making any payment relating to Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, disburse such excess to Borrower, unless a Cash Management Period has occurred and is continuing, in which event such excess shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Section 6.11.1, or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds, such election to be made by Lender in its sole discretion.

Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the “Insurance Funds”. If at any time, Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies; provided that if Borrower receives notice of any deficiency after the date that is thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, Borrower will deposit with or on behalf of Lender, such amount within one (1) Business Day after its receipt of such notice.

    44



in the Insurance Account to payment of Insurance Premiums. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, or shall direct Servicer to, disburse such excess to Borrower, unless a Cash Management Period has occurred and is continuing, in which event such excess shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account to be applied in accordance with Section 6.11.1, or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Funds, such election to be made by Lender in its sole discretion.

Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited with or on behalf of Lender on each Monthly Payment Date, when the balance in the Capital Expenditure Account is less than the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount, an amount equal to the lesser of (a) Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Six and 67/100 Dollars ($6,666.67) and (b) the amount required such that the Capital Expenditure Funds equal the Maximum Capital Expenditure Amount, which amounts shall be transferred by or at the direction of Lender into an Account established to hold such funds (the “Capital Expenditure Account”). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Capital Expenditure Account pursuant to this Section 6.5.1 are referred to herein as the “Capital Expenditure Funds”. Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for Capital Expenditures from time to time, not to exceed three times during the term of the Loan, and may require Borrower to increase the monthly deposits in an amount not to exceed five percent (5%), as required pursuant to this Section 6.5.1, upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain proper operation of the Properties.

Lender shall not be required to disburse Capital Expenditure Funds more frequently than once each calendar month, and each disbursement of Capital Expenditure Funds must be in an amount not less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount (or a lesser amount if the total amount of Capital Expenditure Funds is less than the Minimum Disbursement Amount, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made).
(b)    Nothing in this Section 6.5.2 shall (i) make Lender responsible for performing or completing any Capital Expenditures Work; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Capital Expenditure Funds to complete any Capital

    45



Expenditures Work; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with any Capital Expenditures Work; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to complete any Capital Expenditures Work.

Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to reasonably cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other Persons described above in connection with inspections described in Section 6.5.2(d).
(d)    If a disbursement of Capital Expenditure Funds will exceed $35,000.00, Lender may require an inspection of the applicable Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a disbursement of Capital Expenditure Funds in order to verify completion of the Capital Expenditures Work for which reimbursement is sought. Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and may require a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of Capital Expenditure Funds. Borrower shall pay the actual, reasonable expense of the inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

6.10.2    Interest on Certain Reserve Funds; Income Taxes. All Reserve Funds may be invested in Permitted Investments as directed by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Cash Management Agreement. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the availability of and return on certain Permitted Investments depends, in part, upon the availability of Permitted Investments to the Cash Management Bank, the size of the balance of the applicable Reserve Funds and/or the frequency of deposits into and withdrawals from the Reserve Funds and that certain Permitted Investments may be or become unavailable from time to time with respect to the Reserve Funds for a variety of reasons, including, without limitation, any of the foregoing factors. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest or income received on the Reserve Funds may not be the highest return available on cash-based investments and further acknowledges and agrees that none of Lender, any Servicer of the Loan, the Cash Management Bank or any of their respective agents or representatives shall be obligated to seek the highest return available on cash-based investments and none of Lender, any Servicer of the Loan, the Cash Management Bank or any of their respective agents or representatives shall be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds.

6.11.2    Failure to Make Payments. The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (a) through (f) of Section 6.11.1 in full on each Monthly Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Cash Management Account for such payments, and Borrower is not otherwise in Default hereunder, the failure by the Cash Management Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Accounts shall not constitute an Event of Default. The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to the Loan Documents.
6.11.3    Application After Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.11.1, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall be under no obligation to release or disburse any of the Reserve Funds and may, at its option,

    48



withdraw the Reserve Funds and any other funds of Borrower then in the possession of Lender, Servicer or Cash Management Bank (including any Gross Revenue) and apply such funds to the items for which the Reserve Funds were established or to the payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.

    61



by Borrower or its agents, counsel and representatives may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with a Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and may be made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the NRSROs, investment banking firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory and service providers relating to a Securitization.
(b)    Borrower hereby agrees (i) to indemnify Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to a Securitization or has acted as the issuer, sponsor, depositor or seller in connection with a Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, any other issuers, depositors, underwriters, placement agents or initial purchasers of Securities issued in connection with a Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates, and each Person that controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”) for any losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs and expenses (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact pertaining to the Properties, Borrower, Guarantors or Affiliated Manager contained in the written information provided to Lender by Borrower, any Affiliate of Borrower or any of their respective agents, counsel or representatives, and/or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact pertaining to the Properties, Borrower, Guarantors or Affiliated Manager required to be stated in such information or necessary in order to make the statements in such information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities; provided, however, that Borrower will be liable in any such case under clauses (i) or (ii) above only to the extent that any such Liability arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) written information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower (1) in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to each Property. This indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have.
(c)    In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports

    62



containing comparable information that are required to be made available to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or other applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower shall (i) indemnify the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement, alleged untrue statement, omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with (x) written information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower (1) in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Documents or (2) in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan or (y) any of the written reports, statements or other information furnished by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, financial statements of Borrower and operating statements and rent rolls with respect to each Property, and (ii) reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities.
(d)    Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of a claim or the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Person will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against Borrower, notify Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Person under this Section 9.2 except to the extent that failure to notify materially prejudices Borrower. In the event that any action is brought against any Indemnified Person, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Person promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Person.

(e)    In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which any indemnification or reimbursement under this Section 9.2 is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an Indemnified Person in respect of

    63



any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to herein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under this Section 9.2, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnified Person as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) Lender’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Secondary Market Transactions. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this

(b)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Properties, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Properties, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) above, the Debt and all other Obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
Section 10.2    Remedies.
(a)    Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure

    68



proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and each Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full.
(b)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose the Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each Property shall remain subject to each Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by each Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(c)    Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof. Borrower shall be obligated to pay all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording and filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

    69



(d)    Any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
Section 10.3    Lender’s Right to Perform. If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained in the Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice and cure period, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided under any of the Loan Documents or releasing Borrower from any covenant or obligation under the Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand, and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure.
Section 10.4    Remedies Cumulative. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
ARTICLE 11:    MISCELLANEOUS
Section 11.1    Successors and Assigns; Assignments and Participations. Except as expressly permitted under Section 8.1, Borrower may not assign, transfer or delegate its rights or obligations under the Loan Documents without Lender’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation without such consent shall be null and void. Lender may assign, pledge, participate, transfer or delegate, as applicable, to one (1) or more Persons, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. The assigning Lender shall have no further obligations under the Loan Documents for obligations arising from and after the date of any such assignment or transfer. In connection with any such assignment, pledge, participation, transfer or delegation, Lender may disclose to the assignee, pledgee, participant, transferee or delegee or proposed assignee, pledgee, participant, transferee or delegee, as the case may be, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates or to any aspect of the Loan that has been furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrower or any of its Affiliates.

Section 11.2    Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender

exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter, or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, shall be substituted therefor, which such decision shall be based upon Lender’s good faith determination of Rating Agency criteria (unless Lender has an independent approval right in respect of the matter at issue pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, in which case the discretion afforded to Lender in connection with such independent approval right shall apply instead).

    74



part of this Agreement for any other purpose.
Section 11.9    Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under any Legal Requirements, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 11.10    Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, federal, state, local or foreign law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 11.11    Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which the Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which the Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.
Section 11.12    Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under the Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 11.13    Expenses; Indemnity.
(a)    Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (ii) Lender’s ongoing performance of and compliance with all agreements and covenants contained in the Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to the Loan Documents and

    75



any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or Guarantors except as otherwise provided herein; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens in favor of Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, the Loan Documents, the Properties or any other security given for the Loan; and (vi) enforcing any Obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower or Guarantors under the Loan Documents or with respect to the Properties or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any Bankruptcy Action; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid, at Lender’s election in its sole discretion, from any amounts in the Cash Management Account.
(b)    Subject to the terms of Section 11.22 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Lender Indemnified Parties from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for any Lender Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not such Lender Indemnified Party shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Lender Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any default or breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, the Loan Documents, (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan, (iii) any materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower, or contained in any documentation approved by Borrower; (iv) ownership of each Mortgage, the Properties or any interest therein, or receipt of any Rents; (v) any accident, injury to or death of persons or loss of or damage to property occurring in, on or about the Properties or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vi) any use, nonuse or condition in, on or about the Properties or on adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways; (vii) performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of each Property; (viii) any failure of either Property to comply with any Legal Requirement; (ix) unless due to the affirmative act of Lender, any claim by brokers, finders or similar persons claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with any Lease or other transaction involving either Property or any part thereof, or any liability asserted against such Lender Indemnified Party with respect thereto; (x) the claims of any lessee of any portion of either

    76



Property or any Person acting through or under any lessee or otherwise arising under or as a consequence of any Lease; and (xi) any indemnification to the Rating Agencies in connection with issuing, monitoring or maintaining the Securities insofar as such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses or disbursements arise out of any untrue statement of any material fact in any materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or arise out of the omission to state a material fact in such materials or information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in such materials or information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnified Parties hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnified Parties, as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Lender Indemnified Parties. The provisions of Section 11.13(a) and this Section 11.13(b) shall survive any payment or prepayment of the Loan and any foreclosure or satisfaction of the Mortgage.
(c)    Borrower hereby agrees to pay for or, if Borrower’s fails to pay, to reimburse Lender for, any fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating Agency review of the Loan or any consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents, and Lender shall be entitled to require payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to obtaining any such consent, approval, waiver or confirmation.
Section 11.14    Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 11.15    Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims and defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.
Section 11.16    No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a)    Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created under the Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint

    77



tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b)    The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the Obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to the obligations of Lender to make the Loan (and disburse Reserve Funds) hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan (or make any disbursement of Reserve Funds) in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.
Section 11.17    Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents or to Lender or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.
Section 11.18    Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Properties, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Properties for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 11.19    Waiver of Offsets/Defenses/Counterclaims. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 11.20    Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation

    78



whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 11.21    Brokers and Financial Advisors.
Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person (including a broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 11.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
Section 11.22    Exculpation.
Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, or its members or managers, to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Properties, the Gross Revenues, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Gross Revenues and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against Borrower solely in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Properties; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by

    79



money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(iv)    the failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of either Property to the extent such Liens are not bonded over or discharged in accordance with the Loan Documents, except with respect to any Liens which exist due to Borrower’s inability to make the required payments because there is not sufficient Rents from the Properties to make such payments so long as Borrower has not applied the Rents from the Properties in violation of the Loan Documents and Borrower contracted for such labor or materials in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and with the good faith belief that there would be sufficient funds to timely pay such sums;
(v)    the failure to (A) pay Taxes or (B) obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof, except if such

    80



failure to pay arose because (1) there was not sufficient Rents from the Properties to make such payments so long as Borrower has not applied the Rents from the Properties in violation of the Loan Documents or (2) funds in the Tax Account or Insurance Account, as applicable, were not used for such purpose or applied by the Lender in any other manner; provided however, any such liability for Taxes and Insurance Premiums shall cease with respect to Taxes and Insurance Premiums payable after Borrower is not in possession or control of the Property;
(vi)    in connection with the Loan or the Properties, Borrower, Guarantors, or any Affiliate of Borrower or Guarantors, engages in any action constituting fraud, willful or material misrepresentation, gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(ix)    Borrower fails to (A) permit on-site inspections of the Properties, (B) provide financial information, or (C) timely appoint a new property manager at the request of Lender, each as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of, the Loan Documents and such failure continues for ten (10) days after notification from Lender;

(xii)    The failure of the Borrower to receive insurance proceeds in connection with the coverages required under Section 5.1.1(a)(ii) of the Loan

    81



Agreement, due to the existence of a deductible, such liability of the Guarantor to be limited to the amount by which the deductible applicable to the Borrower’s insurance coverages required under Section 5.1.1(a)(ii) of the Loan Agreement exceeds $100,000.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents and (B) the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrower in the event that any of the following occur:

    84



commensurate with charges imposed by the Servicer for similar actions with respect to loans similar to the Loan and (ii) the reasonable costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of the Properties (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) required under the Servicing Agreement or that a Servicer may otherwise require under the Servicing Agreement (other than the cost of regular annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) to the extent required under the terms of the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.
(b)    Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower and Guarantors under the Loan Documents.
(c)    Provided Borrower shall have received notice from Lender of Servicer’s address, Borrower shall deliver, and cause to be delivered, to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other documents and instruments which Borrower and/or Guarantors deliver to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents. No delivery of any such notices or other documents shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided in this Section 11.24(c).

Section 11.27    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 11.28    Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in accordance with Legal Requirements, in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided

    85



that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 11.29    Certain Additional Rights of Lender (VCOC).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have:
(a)    the right to routinely consult with and advise Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, including, but not limited to, with respect to (i) annual operating and capital budgets, (ii) insurance, (iii) material leases and lease forms, (iv) property management and leasing agents and amendments, modifications or termination of any agreements with such agents, and (v) changes in business; provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;
(b)    the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

    86



The rights described above in this Section 11.29 may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender. As used in this Section 11.29, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
ARTICLE 12:    MEZZANINE LOAN
Section 12.1    Mezzanine Loan Notice.
(i)    Promptly after receipt (but no more than five (5) Business Days after receipt), Borrower will deliver to Lender a true, correct and complete copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including electronically transmitted items) received from Mezzanine Lender by Mezzanine Borrower or any guarantor under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
(ii)    Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.1.7 hereof, Borrower will deliver to Lender all of the financial statements and material reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be delivered by Mezzanine Borrower to Mezzanine Lender under the Mezzanine Loan Documents as and when due under the Mezzanine Loan Documents.
Section 12.2    Mezzanine Loan Estoppels. After written request by Lender made no more than one time in any calendar year, Borrower shall from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mezzanine Lender such estoppel certificates with respect to the status of the Mezzanine Loan and compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to the extent that Mezzanine Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as Borrower furnished to Lender estoppels executed by Mezzanine Borrower, each expressly representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mezzanine Loan and the compliance by Mezzanine Borrower with the terms of the Mezzanine Loan Documents. Subject to Section 11.22 hereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances relating to the Mezzanine Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in, or which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by Mezzanine Borrower.
Section 12.3    Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) an Intercreditor Agreement (as modified, amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into by and among Lender and Mezzanine Lender will be

    87



solely for the benefit of Lender and Mezzanine Lender, (b) neither Borrower nor Mezzanine Borrower shall be intended third party beneficiaries of any of the provisions therein, and (c) neither Borrower nor Mezzanine Borrower shall have any rights thereunder or shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither of Lender or Mezzanine Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or Mezzanine Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and will be independent of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof.
Section 12.4    Direction of Mezzanine Borrower. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge and agree that, as to any clauses or provisions contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents to the effect that (i) Borrower shall cause, direct, permit or allow Mezzanine Borrower to act or to refrain from acting in any manner or (ii) Borrower shall cause to occur or not to occur, or otherwise be obligated in any manner with respect to, any matters pertaining to Mezzanine Borrower, or (iii) other similar effect, such clause or provision, in each case, is intended to mean, and shall be construed as meaning, with respect to Borrower, and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the power (whether direct or indirect) of Borrower to direct Mezzanine Borrower (through ownership of voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interests), to bring about or effect a desired result. Lender hereby specifically acknowledges that Borrower does not, directly or indirectly, hold or own any voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interest in Mezzanine Borrower, or have any other contractual relationship or agreement with Mezzanine Borrower, and therefore Borrower, cannot, through ownership of voting securities or partnership or limited liability company or other ownership interests, or other contract or agreement, direct Mezzanine Borrower to bring about or effect a desired result.
