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 Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower shall receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.

 

2.1.3 The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note in the aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Thirty Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($132,000,000.00) and shall be repaid in accordance with the term of this Agreement and the Note.

 

2.1.4 Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (ii) pay all past-due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (iii) deposit the Reserve Funds, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan, (v) fund any working capital requirements of the Property and (vi) retain the balance, if any.

 

2.1.5 Modification of Components. Lender shall have the right, at any time, to modify the Loan in order to create additional Components, reduce the number of Components, reallocate the principal balances of the Components or eliminate the Component structure of the Loan provided that (a) the total principal balance of the Loan immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification, and (b) the weighted average of the interest rates for all Components always equals the weighted average of the interest rates for all Components immediately prior to such modification. Lender shall have the right to modify the Components in accordance with this Section 2.1.5 upon prior notice to Borrower (in which event such modification shall then be deemed effective). Lender shall provide certified copies of any modification of the Components to Borrower. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement and the Note to evidence such modification.

 

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

 

2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Component shall accrue from the Closing Date up to but excluding the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate.

 

2.2.2 Intentionally Omitted.

 

2.2.3 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 of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of the Loan, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein.

 

- 19 -


2.2.4 Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Component 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 calendar month immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.

 

2.2.5 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other 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 this Agreement or the other 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. 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 applicable law, 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.

 

2.3.1 Payment. Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of interest only on August 9, 2003 for the period from the Closing Date through and including August 8, 2003 (unless the Closing Date is the ninth day of a calendar month, in which case no such separate payment of interest shall be due). Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of principal and interest in the amount of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount on the Monthly Payment Date occurring in September 9, 2003 and on each Monthly Payment Date thereafter to and including the Maturity Date. Each payment shall be applied (a) first to accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Components and (b) the balance shall be applied to principal of all the Components, pro rata and pari passu.

 

2.3.2 Intentionally Omitted.

 

2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest (including without limitation the Accrued Interest) and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents.

 

2.3.4 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 three percent (3%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount

(c) All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other 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.

 

2.3.6 Payments After Event of Default. Any amounts received by Lender following an Event of Default shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of interest and/or principal of any of the Components and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

 

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. On and after the Permitted Prepayment Date, Borrower may, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at its option and upon ten (10) Business Days prior notice to Lender (or such shorter period of time as may be permitted by Lender in its sole discretion), prepay the Debt in whole on any date without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium or any other premium or fee. Any prepayment received by Lender on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall include interest which would have accrued thereon to the next Monthly Payment Date. Borrower may revoke its notice of prepayment if written notice of such revocation is provided to Lender at least five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date.

 

2.4.2 Mandatory Prepayments. On each date on which Borrower or Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Proceeds, and if Lender is not obligated to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for a Restoration, Borrower shall, at Lender’s option, prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds together with interest that would have accrued on such amounts through the next Monthly Payment Date. The full amount of any such prepayment shall be applied to the Components in the order specified in Section 2.3.1 and any amount of such prepayment in excess of that required to pay the Debt in full and such interest shall, if any of the Senior Mezzanine Loan, the Junior A Mezzanine Loan or the Junior B Mezzanine Loan is in existence, be paid in

the following order of priority: (a) first to the Senior Mezzanine Loan, (b) second to the Junior A Mezzanine Loan and to the Preferred Equity, pari passu, (c) third to the Junior B Mezzanine Loan and (d) with any remainder being promptly remitted to Borrower. No Yield Maintenance Premium or other prepayment premium or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.2. Any prepayment received by Lender pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Monthly Payment Date.

 

2.4.3 Prepayments After Default. If after an Event of Default but prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date, payment of all or any part of the principal of the Loan is tendered by Borrower, a purchaser at foreclosure or any other Person, such tender shall be deemed an attempt to circumvent the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 and Borrower, such purchaser at foreclosure or other Person shall pay the Yield Maintenance Premium, in addition to the outstanding principal balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts payable under the Loan Documents. The full amount of any such prepayment shall be applied by Lender toward the payment of interest and/or principal of any of the Components and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper.

All Major Leases and all renewals, amendments and modifications thereof executed after the date hereof shall be subject to Lender’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Borrower may, without Lender’s consent (x) enter into renewals, modifications, amendments, expansions and terminations of existing Leases that are not Major Leases and (y) enter into new Leases that are not Major Leases. Lender shall execute and deliver a Subordination Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in the form annexed as Schedule IV to Tenants under future Leases approved or deemed approved by Lender promptly upon request with such commercially reasonable changes as may be requested by Tenants, from time to time, and which are reasonably acceptable to Lender. All Leases that are not Major Leases which provide for tenant improvements, tenant allowances and leasing commissions, in the aggregate in excess of $50.00 per rentable square foot, are subject to Lender’s prior approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Moreover, it shall be reasonable for Lender to withhold its approval of any Lease which provides for an excess of $50.00 per rentable square foot for tenant improvements, tenant allowances and leasing commissions in the aggregate unless Borrower provides Lender evidence that it has the financial ability (e.g., adequate funds on deposit with Senior Mezzanine Lender which are available for the payment of same) to fund such excess before Lender disburses same out of the various Reserve Funds.

 

(b) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessee thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, Borrower shall not terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Lender’s prior approval which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned provided further, however, that it shall not be unreasonable for Lender to withhold its approval if the Senior Mezzanine Lender or the Junior A Mezzanine Lender or the Junior B

Mezzanine Lender (or any holder of any loan which refinanced such mezzanine loans) do not approve such termination or surrender, (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits and lease termination payments permitted under Leases permitted hereunder); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall hold all security deposits under all Leases in accordance with Legal Requirements. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.1.9:

 

(i) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9, Borrower shall have the right to submit a term sheet for any Major Lease or any renewal, modification or amendment thereof to Lender for Lender’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Any such term sheet submitted to Lender shall set forth all material terms of the proposed Major Lease (or renewal, modification or amendment thereof) including, without limitation, identity of tenant, square footage, term, rent, rent credits, abatements, work allowances and tenant improvements to be constructed by Borrower and include a request containing a legend in bold letters stating that upon Lender’s failure to respond within ten (10) Business Days the lease transaction described in the term sheet shall be deemed consented to and approved. Lender shall respond within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval or consent of such term sheet. If Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such term sheet;

 

(ii) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Lender has not previously approved a term sheet pursuant to Section 4.1.9(c)(i) above, Lender shall respond within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for such approval or consent which contains a legend in bold letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approved. If Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which lender’s consent or approval was sought;

 

(iii) whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 4.1.9 for any matter that Lender has previously approved a term sheet pursuant to Section 4.1.9(c)(i) above, Lender shall respond within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for such approval or consent containing a legend in bold letters stating that Lender’s failure to respond within ten (10) Business Days shall be deemed consent or approval. If Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to the matter for which Lender’s consent or approval was sought. The ten (10) Business Day periods contained in this subsection (iii) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days if the matter involves a new Major Lease or an amended and restated Major Lease, a term sheet is approved, a blacklined copy of the new document against the Approved Lease Form is delivered to Lender and an Officer’s Certificate is delivered to Lender, in each case indicating that the new document’s only differences with the Approved Lease Form are as reflected in the approved term sheet and those which do not materially adversely affect the Property, Borrower or Lender;

 

- 42 -


(iv) in the event that Lender shall have approved (or be deemed to have approved) a term sheet submitted by Borrower with respect to a certain Lease, Lender shall not withhold its approval or consent with respect to such Lease on the basis of any provisions of such Lease dealing with the items contained in the approved term sheet or any other provisions which do not materially adversely affect the Property, Borrower or Lender; and

If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) Letters of Credit (iii) U.S. Obligations, (iv) other securities acceptable to Lender, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same, or (v) a completion bond, provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by Tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold.

(B) during any period of the term of the Loan that TRIA is not in effect, if “acts of terrorism” or other similar acts or events or “fire following” are hereafter excluded from Borrower’s comprehensive all risk insurance policy (including business income), Borrower shall obtain an endorsement to such policy, or a separate policy from an insurance provider which maintains at least an investment grade rating from Moody’s (that is, “Baa3”) and/or S&P and/or Fitch (that is, “BBB-”), insuring against all such excluded acts or events, to the extent such policy or endorsement is available, in an amount which is at least One Hundred Thirty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($135,000,000.00) if such coverage is dedicated to the Property only (if coverage is provided on a blanket basis, the coverage under the blanket policy shall be at least Two Hundred Twenty Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($225,000,000.00); provided, however, the total annual premium payable by Borrower for such terrorism coverage shall not exceed Three Hundred Seventy Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($375,000.00) for such coverage.

- 49 -


of a Rating Agency Confirmation) if Lender, in its sole judgment, determines that it would be beneficial to both the Borrower and the Property to obtain insurance from such carriers based on a comparison of the various rates, types and amounts of coverage available, as well as the quality of the carriers offering to provide such coverage (it being agreed that once such consent is granted by Lender, the coverage obtained by Borrower and permitted by Lender shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 5.1.1(a)(xi)(B) until the expiration of such coverage based on the expiration date of such coverage consented to by Lender); and

 

(xii) upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

 

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and, to the extent not specified above, shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premium”), shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender.

 

(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a).

 

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a) shall be primary coverage and, except for the Policy referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of comprehensive all risk insurance, boiler and machinery, flood, earthquake and terrorism insurance, shall contain standard a mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender. Borrower shall not procure or permit any of its constituent entities to procure any other insurance coverage which would be on the same level of payment as the Policies or would adversely impact in any way the ability of Lender or Borrower to collect any proceeds under any of the Policies.

 

(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) and (a)(viii) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

 

(i) no act (excepting intentional acts (for liability Policies only)) 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

 

- 50 -


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 (except ten (10) days’ written notice with respect to non-payment) 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.

 

(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 reasonably necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all 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 ten (10) days written demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the date incurred.

 

(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

5.1.2 Insurance Company. The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized to do business in the state in which the Property is located and having a claims paying ability rating of “AA-” or better by S&P or Fitch or an insurance financial strength rating of “Aa3” by Moody’s. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to maintain the Policies with insurance companies which do not meet the foregoing requirements (an “Otherwise Rated Insurer”), provided Borrower obtains a “cut-through” endorsement (that is, an endorsement which permits recovery against the provider of such endorsement), or similar credit enhancing vehicle which accomplishes the same financial wherewithal objective, with respect to any Otherwise Rated Insurer from an insurance company which meets the claims paying ability ratings required above with the cut-through endorsement (or other such vehicle) in effect at all times, in an amount not less than the Full Replacement Cost of the Property. Moreover, if Borrower desires to maintain insurance required hereunder from an insurance company which does not meet the claims paying ability ratings set forth herein but the parent of such insurance company, which owns at least fifty-one percent (51%) of such insurance company, maintains such ratings, Borrower may use such insurance companies if approved by the Rating Agencies (such approval may be conditioned on items required by the Rating Agencies including a requirement that the parent guarantee the obligations of such insurance company).

Section 5.2 Casualty and Condemnation.

 

5.2.1 Casualty. If the 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 the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the 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 the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the 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, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed 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, delayed or conditioned) and Lender shall have the opportunity to participate, at Borrower’s cost, in any such adjustments. 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.

 

5.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall give Lender prompt notice of any actual or threatened Condemnation by any Governmental Authority of all or any part of the 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, delayed or conditioned) 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 the Property or any portion thereof is taken by any Governmental Authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.3. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

5.2.3 Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) and provided no Event of Default exists and is continuing hereunder, proceeds received by Lender on account of the business interruption insurance specified in Subsection 5.1.1(a)(iii) above with respect to any Casualty shall be deposited by Lender directly into the Deposit Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) but (a) only to the extent it reflects a replacement for (i) lost Rents that would have been due under Leases existing on the date of such Casualty, and/or (ii) lost Rents under Leases that had not yet been executed and delivered at the time of such Casualty which Borrower has proven to the insurance company would have been due under such Leases (and then only to the extent such proceeds disbursed by the insurance company reflect a replacement for such past due Rents) and (b) only to the extent necessary to fully make the disbursements required by Section 3.3(a) through (h) of the Cash Management Agreement. All other such proceeds shall be held by Lender and disbursed in accordance with Section 5.3 hereof.

 

Section 5.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.

 

5.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the 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, 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 in trust for Lender and shall be segregated from other funds of Borrower to 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 the 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 are insurance proceeds, less than thirty percent (30%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are an Award, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property, and no portion of the Improvements is the subject of the Condemnation;

 

(iii) Leases requiring payment of annual rent equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the gross rental revenue received by Borrower during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Casualty or Condemnation and all Major Leases shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent

 

- 53 -


beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation;

 

(iv) 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;

 

(v) Lender shall be reasonably 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, (B) business income insurance or (C) other funds of Borrower;

 

(vi) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date three (3) months prior to the Maturity Date, (B) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Major Lease, (C) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (D) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii);

 

(vii) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance in all material respects with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;

 

(viii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements; and

 

(ix) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements.

 

(b) In the event of a Casualty or Condemnation where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Lender and held by Lender in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Debt. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all requirements set forth in Section 5.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (B) 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 (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property 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 prior reasonable approval of Lender and an independent architect selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”). The plans and specifications shall require that the

 

- 54 -


Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to 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 reasonable 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 Property prior to the damage or destruction; it being understood, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to restore the Property to the precise condition of the Property prior to such Casualty provided the 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 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 in the Restoration, the cost of which is greater than $20,000.00, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, 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 five percent (5%) (or such greater amount as provided in the contracts with the contractor, subcontractor or materialman) 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 Section 5.3.2(d) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and 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.

 

- 55 -


(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 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 before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

 

(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 Components, 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.

 

Section 5.4 Net Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Lender is obligated under this Agreement to disburse the Net Proceeds to Borrower, and if Lender fails to do so, then any obligation of Borrower to restore or repair the Property under the Loan Documents shall not apply.

Additionally, Borrower may deliver to Lender a Letter of Credit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.10 in lieu of deposits previously made to the Reserve Funds. The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the Capital Expenditure/Leasing Funds and the Lease Termination Rollover Funds shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate amount which Borrower is required to have on deposit in such Reserve Fund pursuant to this Agreement. The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to the Tax and Insurance Funds shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate which Borrower would be required to deposit in such Reserve Fund over the next twelve (12) month period. The aggregate amount of any Letter of Credit and cash on deposit with respect to Debt Service Reserve Funds shall at all times be at least equal to the aggregate amount which Borrower is required to have on deposit in such Reserve Fund pursuant to this Agreement.

Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and the amount of the Letter of Credit is greater than that required by Section 6.10.1, then Borrower may be permitted to amend the applicable Letter of Credit to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit to the amount required hereunder or replace with cash. In the event Borrower is entitled to a disbursement from any of the Reserve Funds which are represented by a Letter of Credit and Borrower desires a reduction of any such Letter of Credit instead, Borrower may amend the

 

- 63 -


applicable Letter of Credit to reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit in the amount of the disbursement and Lender will cooperate in obtaining such amendment.

 

(b) Borrower shall give Lender no less than twenty (20) days notice of Borrower’s election to deliver a Letter of Credit and Borrower shall pay to Lender all of Lender’s reasonable actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

Prior to the return of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall deposit an amount equal to the amount that would have accumulated in the applicable Reserve Fund and not been disbursed in accordance with this Agreement if such Letter of Credit had not been delivered.

 

(c) Borrower shall provide Lender with notice of any increases in the annual payments for Taxes and Insurance Premiums twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of any such increase and any applicable Letter of Credit shall be increased by such increased amount at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such increase.

 

Section 6.11 Provisions Regarding Letters of Credit.

(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, provided that Borrower’s liability or obligations shall not be materially increased by such severance. 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; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power unless Borrower has not responded to such request within five (5) Business Days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents. The Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents (modified to reflect the current status of such representations and warranties) and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

(d) Any amounts recovered from the Property 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 Components 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 Right to Cure Defaults. During the existence of an Event of Default or on ten (10) Business Days’ notice (except in the case of an emergency), Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of

 

- 73 -


Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. During the existence of an Event of Default or on ten (10) Business Days’ notice (except in the case of an emergency), Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the out of pocket cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 10.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such out of pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.

 

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 this Agreement or the other 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.

 

  XI. MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 11.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrower, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.

 

Section 11.2 Lender’s Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole 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, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefore.

THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

 

Section 11.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a 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 applicable law, 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, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.

 

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 this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

 

Section 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 this Agreement or the other 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 unless Lender’s actions are arbitrary and capricious. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted

 

- 78 -


reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment unless Lender’s actions are arbitrary and capricious.

 

Section 11.13 Expenses; Indemnity.

 

(a) Borrower shall pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, reimburse Lender upon ten (10) days of receipt of notice from Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) any default by Borrower in Borrower’s prompt ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other 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) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower; (iii) 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 this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iv) subject to the terms hereof, enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation or otherwise, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (v) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property 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 insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; 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. Any costs due and payable to Lender may be paid to Lender pursuant to the Cash Management Agreement after ten (10) days prior written notice from Lender to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be responsible for the legal fees and costs of attorneys incurred by Lender in connection with the closing of the Loan.

 

(b) Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender and its officers, directors, agents, employees (and the successors and assigns of the foregoing) (the “Lender Indemnitees”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, out-of-pocket losses, compensatory damages (but not consequential 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 the Lender Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not the Lender Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Lender Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to the Lender Indemnitees hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross

 

- 79 -


negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of the Lender Indemnitees. 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 Indemnitees.

 

Section 11.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules 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 this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or 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 hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in the Property other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.

 

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other 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 hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it advisable or desirable to do so.

 

Section 11.17 Publicity. Except for Lender Disclosure Documents in connection with a Securitization, all news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower, Lender or their Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Borrower, Lender, Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital Inc., or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and Borrower, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disclosure required by any federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations or other

 

- 80 -


applicable Legal Requirements, as determined by any such party’s counsel, shall be not be subject to the prior written approval of the other.

 

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 Partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

 

Section 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 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 third party (i.e. other than Borrower or its Affiliates) claims, liabilities, out of pocket 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 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 Debt.

 

- 81 -


Section 11.22 Exculpation.

 

(a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower 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 (including a money judgment under the Note and the other Loan Documents) 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 Property, the Rents, 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 Property, in the Rents 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 or other personal 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 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 or other personal judgment against Borrower solely in order to fully realize on any security given by Borrower in connection with the Loan or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against such security; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any Loss incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents (except for Guarantor under the Guaranty and Manager under the Assignment of Management Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement) neither any present or future Constituent Partner in Borrower nor any present or future shareholder, officer, director, employee, trustee, beneficiary, advisor, partner, member, principal, participant or agent of or in Borrower or of or in any person or entity that is or becomes a Constituent Partner in Borrower (collectively, the “Borrower’s Partners”) shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents (except for Guarantor under the Guaranty and Manager under the Assignment of Management Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement), or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times hereafter and Lender, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. The term “Constituent Partner,” as used herein, shall mean, any direct partner in Borrower and any person or entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more other partnerships, limited liability companies or corporation or other entities is a partner in Borrower. For purposes of this Section 11.22(b), neither the negative capital account of any Constituent Partner in Borrower or in any other Constituent Partner in Borrower, nor any obligation of any Constituent Partner in Borrower to restore a negative capital account or to contribute or loan capital to Borrower or to any other Constituent Partner in Borrower shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Borrower (or any other Constituent Partner) and neither Lender nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against with respect to any such negative capital account or obligation to restore, contribute or loan.

 

- 83 -


Section 11.23 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Commitment Letter dated June 3, 2003 (as amended) between Borrower DB Realty Mezzanine Investment Fund II, LLC and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Lender shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; and Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Servicer shall, however, be entitled to reimbursement of costs and expenses as and to the same extent (but without duplication) as Lender is entitled thereto under the applicable provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(b) Upon notice thereof from Lender, Servicer shall have the right to exercise all rights of Lender and enforce all obligations of Borrower pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c) Provided Borrower shall have been given notice of Servicer’s address by Lender, Borrower shall deliver to Servicer duplicate originals of all notices and other instruments which Borrower may or shall be required to deliver to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents (and no delivery of such notices or other instruments by Borrower shall be of any force or effect unless delivered to Lender and Servicer as provided above).
