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 of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.3             Loan Payment.

2.3.1        Monthly Debt Service Payments.  Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the Modification Date, an amount equal to interest only on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Modification Date up to and including October 31, 2006, and (b) on each Payment Date thereafter Borrower shall make a payment to Lender of principal and/or interest, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to principal.

2.3.2        Payments Generally.  The first (1st) interest accrual period hereunder shall commence on and include the Modification Date and shall end on and include October 31, 2006.  Each interest accrual period thereafter shall commence on the first (1st) day of each calendar month during the term of this Agreement and shall end on and include the final calendar date of such calendar month.  For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day and with respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date.  All amounts due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

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 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 sums due under the Loan Documents (excluding principal due on the Maturity Date) are not paid by Borrower on or prior to 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 Legal Rate 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 Mortgage and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.5        Method and Place of Payment.  Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 11:00 A.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 as otherwise directed by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such

23




 

time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 2.4             Prepayments.

2.4.1        Voluntary Prepayments.  (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.4.1 and Section 2.4.2 below, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date.  On and after the Payment Date that is two (2) months prior to Maturity Date Borrower may, at its option and upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.  If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date (including pursuant to the preceding sentence), Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.

2.4.2        Mandatory Prepayments.  On the next occurring Payment Date following the date on which Lender actually receives any Net Proceeds, if Lender is not obligated or does not elect to make such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property or otherwise remit such Net Proceeds to Borrower pursuant to Section 6.4 hereof, Borrower shall prepay or authorize Lender to apply such Net Proceeds as a prepayment of all or a portion of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan together with accrued interest and any other sums due hereunder 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 (until paid in full) in any order or priority in its sole discretion.  Other than during the continuance of an Event of Default, 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 during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender, such tender or recovery shall be (a) made on the next occurring Payment Date together with the Monthly Debt Service Payment and (b) deemed 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, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium.

2.4.4        Prepayment Prior to Defeasance Expiration Date.  If the Permitted Release Date has occurred but the Defeasance Expiration Date has not occurred, the Debt may be prepaid in whole (but not in part) prior to the date permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date on which prepayment is to be made (a “Prepayment Date”) provided no Event of Default exists and upon payment of an amount equal to the greater of (a) the Yield Maintenance Premium and (b) one percent (1%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as of the Prepayment Date.  Lender shall notify Borrower of the amount and the basis of determination of the required prepayment consideration.  If any notice of prepayment is given, the Debt shall be due and payable on the Prepayment Date.  Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the prepayment consideration due in connection therewith.  If for any reason Borrower prepays the Loan on a date other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall pay Lender, in addition to the Debt, all interest which would have accrued on the amount of the

24




 

Loan through and including the Payment Date next occurring following the date of such prepayment.

Section 2.5             Defeasance.

2.5.1        Voluntary Defeasance.  (a) Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall have the right at any time after the Defeasance Expiration Date and prior to the date voluntarily prepayments are permitted under Section 2.4.1 hereof to voluntarily defease all, but not part, of the Loan by and upon satisfaction of the following conditions (such event being a “Defeasance Event”):

(i)            Borrower shall provide not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender specifying the Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur;
(ii)           Borrower shall pay to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest on the principal balance of the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date.  If for any reason the Defeasance Date is not a Payment Date, the Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the Note through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the next Payment Date, provided, however, if the Defeasance Deposit shall include short-term interest computed from the date of such prepayment through to the next succeeding Payment Date, Borrower shall not be required to pay such short term interest pursuant to this sentence;
(iii)          Borrower shall pay to Lender all other sums, not including scheduled interest or principal payments, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents;
(iv)          Borrower shall pay to Lender the required Defeasance Deposit for the Defeasance Event;
(v)           Borrower shall execute and deliver a pledge and security agreement, in form and substance that would be reasonably satisfactory to a prudent lender creating a first priority lien on the Defeasance Deposit and the U.S. Obligations purchased with the Defeasance Deposit in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.5 (the “Security Agreement”);

25




 
(vii)         If required pursuant to the applicable pooling and servicing agreement or by the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall deliver confirmation in writing from each of the applicable Rating Agencies to the effect that such release will not result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the respective ratings in effect immediately prior to such Defeasance Event for the Securities issued in connection with the Securitization which are then outstanding.  If required by the applicable Rating Agencies, Borrower shall also deliver or cause to be delivered an Additional Insolvency Opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower in form and substance satisfactory to Lender and the applicable Rating Agencies;
(viii)        Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.5.1(a) have been satisfied;

26




 

2.5.2        Collateral.  Each of the U.S. Obligations that are part of the defeasance collateral shall be duly endorsed by the holder thereof as directed by Lender or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form and substance that would be satisfactory to a prudent lender (including, without limitation, such instruments as may be required by the depository institution holding such securities or by the issuer thereof, as the case may be, to effectuate book-entry transfers and pledges through the book-entry facilities of such institution) in order to perfect upon the delivery of the defeasance collateral a first priority security interest therein in favor of Lender in conformity with all applicable state and federal laws governing the granting of such security interests.

2.5.3        Successor Borrower.  In connection with any Defeasance Event, Borrower may at its option, or if so required by the applicable Rating Agencies shall, establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) acceptable to Lender, which shall be a Special Purpose Entity and Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations, rights and duties under and to the Note, together with the pledged U.S. Obligations to such Successor Borrower.  Such Successor Borrower shall assume the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement and Borrower shall be relieved of its obligations under such documents.  Borrower shall pay One Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($1,000) to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no other assumption fee shall be payable upon a transfer of the Note in accordance with this Section 2.5.3, but Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses and any fees and expenses of any Rating Agencies, incurred in connection therewith.

27




 

documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such releases in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

2.6.2        Release on Payment in Full.  Lender shall, upon payment in full of all principal and interest due on the Loan and all other amounts due and payable under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Note and this Agreement, release the Lien of the Mortgage on the Property.  Borrower shall pay to Lender all reasonable administrative and legal costs incurred in connection with such release.

(d)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in the Lockbox Account to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

(e)           The Lockbox Account shall be an Eligible Account and shall not be commingled with other monies held by Borrower or Lockbox Bank.

(b)           The insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make any payments, as and when due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

(c)           All funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account following the occurrence of an Event of Default may be applied by Lender in such order and priority as Lender shall determine.

(d)           Borrower hereby agrees that Lender may modify the Cash Management Agreement for the purpose of establishing additional sub-accounts in connection with any payments otherwise required under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower.

4.1.2        Proceedings.  Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  This Agreement and such other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4.1.3        No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor to Borrower’s Knowledge will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any court or any such regulatory Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

34




 

4.1.5        Agreements.  Except such instruments and agreements set forth as Permitted Encumbrances in the Title Insurance Policy, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.  To Borrower’s Knowledge, Borrower is not in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower or the Property are bound.  Borrower has no material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents.

4.1.6        Title.  Borrower has good and indefeasible fee simple title to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  To Borrower’s Knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are due and unpaid under the contracts pursuant to which such work or labor was performed or materials provided which are or may become a lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.

35




 

4.1.8        Full and Accurate Disclosure.  To Borrower’s Knowledge, no statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.

5.1.1        Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance.  Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. Borrower shall not commit, nor shall Borrower permit or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.  Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture.  Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all its franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto, all as more fully provided in the Mortgage.  Borrower shall keep the Property insured at all times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and maintain liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iv) the Property or any part thereof or interest therein will not be immediate in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (v) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (vi) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vii) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith.  Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.  Provided no Event of Default then exists, any security deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.1 may be used to satisfy compliance with the related Legal Requirement with any excess after the satisfaction of same to be returned to Borrower.

43




 

5.1.2        Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof as the same become due and payable.  Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid (provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof).  If Borrower pays or causes to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges and provides a copy of the receipt evidencing the payment thereof to Lender, then Lender shall reimburse Borrower, provided that there are then sufficient proceeds in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and provided that the Taxes are being paid pursuant to Section 7.2.  Upon written request of Borrower, if Lender has paid such Taxes pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, Lender shall provide Borrower with evidence that such Taxes have been paid.  Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property, and shall promptly pay for all utility services provided to the Property.  After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (i) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any mortgage or deed of trust superior in lien to the Mortgage; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (iii) the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in immediate danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon.  Lender may pay over any such cash deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established.  Provided no Event of Default then exists, any security deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 5.1.2 may be used to satisfy the related Taxes or Other Charges with any excess after the satisfaction of same to be returned to Borrower.

5.1.3        Litigation.  Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender upon obtaining information of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against Borrower which might materially adversely affect Borrower’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business or the Property.

5.1.11      Financial Reporting.

(a)           Borrower will keep and maintain or will cause to be kept and maintained on a Fiscal Year basis, in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender), records and accounts reflecting all of the financial affairs of Borrower and all items of income and expense in connection with the operation of the Property.  Lender shall have the right from time to time at all times during normal business hours upon reasonable notice to examine such books, records and accounts at the office of Borrower, Property Manager or other Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as Lender shall desire.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay any costs and expenses incurred by Lender to examine Borrower’s accounting records with respect to the Property, as Lender shall reasonably determine to be necessary or appropriate in the protection of Lender’s interest.

(b)           Borrower will cause Property Manager to furnish to Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, certified (or audited if requested by Lender or required by Law) annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender) for the Property for such Fiscal Year, including statements of profit and loss for the Property.  Such statements shall set forth the financial condition and the results of operations for the Property for such Fiscal Year, and shall include, but not be limited to, amounts representing annual Net Cash Flow, Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations and Operating Expenses.  Such annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (i) a comparison of the budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses for the prior Fiscal Year, (ii) a certificate executed by the Property Manager, stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly the results of operations of the Property and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis reasonably acceptable to Lender), (iii) a certified rent roll containing current rent, lease expiration dates and the square footage occupied by each tenant; (v) a schedule reconciling Net Operating Income to Net Cash Flow (the “Net Cash Flow Schedule”), which shall itemize all material adjustments made to Net Operating Income to arrive at Net Cash Flow.  Together with the annual financial statements, Property Manager shall furnish to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying to its knowledge as of the date thereof whether there exists an event or circumstance which constitutes a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

(c)           Borrower will furnish, or cause to be furnished, to Lender on or before twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar quarter (and, prior to a Securitization, on or before twenty (20) days after the end of each calendar month) the following items, accompanied by a certificate of Property Manager, stating that such items are true, correct, accurate, and complete and fairly present the results of the operations of  the Property (subject to normal year-end adjustments) as applicable: (i) a rent roll for the subject month; (ii) quarterly and year-to-date operating statements (including Capital Expenditures) prepared for each calendar quarter, noting Net Operating Income, Gross Income from Operations, and Operating Expenses (not including any contributions to the Replacement Reserve Fund), and other information necessary and sufficient to fairly represent the financial position and results of operation of the Property

during such calendar month, and containing a comparison of budgeted income and expenses and the actual income and expenses together with a detailed explanation of any variances of five percent (5%) or more between budgeted and actual amounts for such periods, all in form satisfactory to Lender; (iii) a calculation reflecting the annual Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period as of the last day of such month; and (iv) a Net Cash Flow Schedule.

(d)           For the partial year period commencing on the Modification Date, and for each Fiscal Year thereafter, Borrower shall cause Property Manager to submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than thirty (30) days after the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  If a Cash Trap Event Period exists, the Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s written approval (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”).  In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower during a Cash Trap Event Period, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender.  Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this subsection until Lender approves the Annual Budget.  Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget, the most recently Approved Annual Budget shall apply; provided that such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges.

(e)           In the event that a Cash Trap Event Period exists and Borrower must incur an extraordinary operating expense or capital expense not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary Expense”), then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval.

(f)            If, at the time one or more Disclosure Documents are being prepared for a Securitization, Lender expects that Borrower alone or Borrower and one or more Affiliates of Borrower collectively, or the Property alone or the Property and Related Properties collectively, will be a Significant Obligor, Borrower shall furnish to Lender upon request (i) the selected financial data or, if applicable, Net Operating Income, required under Item 1112(b)(1) of Regulation AB with respect to Borrower, the relevant Affiliates of Borrower and the Property, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization or (ii) the financial statements required under Item 1112(b)(2) of Regulation AB with respect to Borrower, the relevant Affiliates of Borrower and the Property, if Lender expects that the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan together with any Related Loans as of the cut-off date for such Securitization and at any time during which the Loan and any Related Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate principal amount of

47




 

all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization.  Such financial data or financial statements shall be furnished to Lender (A) within a reasonable period of time after notice from Lender in connection with the preparation of Disclosure Documents for the Securitization, (B) not later than forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Borrower and (C) not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to furnish financial data or financial statements pursuant to clauses (B) or (C) of this sentence with respect to any period for which a filing pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to the Securitization (an Exchange Act Filing) is not required.  If requested by Lender, Borrower shall furnish to Lender financial data and/or financial statements for any tenant of the Property if, in connection with a Securitization, Lender expects there to be, with respect to such tenant or group of Affiliated tenants, a concentration within all of the mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in the Securitization such that such tenant or group of affiliated tenants would constitute a Significant Obligor.

(g)           If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with summaries of the financial statements referred to in Section 5.1.11(f) hereof if, at the time a Disclosure Document is being prepared for a Securitization, it is expected that the principal amount of the Loan and any Affiliated Loans at the time of such Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan and any Affiliated Loans at any time during which the Loan and any Affiliated Loans are included in a Securitization does, equal or exceed ten percent (10%) (but is less than twenty percent (20%)) of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included or expected to be included, as applicable, in a Securitization.  Such summaries shall meet the requirements for “summarized financial information,” as defined in Section 210.1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X, or such other requirements as may be determined to be necessary or appropriate by Lender.

(h)           All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower hereunder pursuant to Section 5.1.11(f) hereof shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation AB and such other applicable legal requirements as Lender may specify in its request to Borrower.  All financial data and financial statements provided by Borrower under Section 5.1.11(f) shall be accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, which shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this Section 5.1.11(h).

(i)            If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender, promptly upon request, with any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, in each case relating to Borrower, any Affiliates of Borrower or the Property, as Lender shall determine to be required pursuant to Regulation AB or any amendment, modification or replacement thereto or other legal requirements in connection with any Disclosure Document or any Exchange Act Filing or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender.

(j)            Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 5.1.11, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the delivery of information (i) with respect to periods predating Borrower’s acquisition of the Property, (ii) relating to tenants of the Property, or (iii) otherwise relating to Persons or property not owned by Borrower or within its reasonable control (or in the

(k)           Borrower shall cause Property Manager to furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible), such further detailed information with respect to Property Manager or the Property as may be reasonably requested by Lender, including, but not limited to, a certificate stating to its knowledge that the representations and warranties of Borrower set forth in Section 4.1.30(a) are true and correct as of the date of such certificate.

(l)            Borrower shall cause Property Manager to furnish to Lender, within ten (10) Business Days after request (or as soon thereafter as may be reasonably possible), such further detailed information with respect to the operation of the Property as may be reasonably requested by Lender.

5.1.14      Costs of Enforcement.  In the event (a) that the Mortgage encumbering the Property is foreclosed in whole or in part or that the Mortgage is put into the hands of an attorney

5.1.20      Leasing Matters.  Any Leases with respect to the Property written after the Modification Date for more than the Relevant Leasing Threshold square footage shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender, which approval may be given or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.  Lender shall approve or disapprove any such Lease within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of a final execution draft of such Lease (including all exhibits, schedules, supplements, addenda or other agreements relating thereto) and a written notice from Borrower requesting Lender’s approval to such Lease, and such Lease shall be deemed approved, if Lender does not disapprove such Lease within said ten (10) Business Day period provided such written notice conspicuously states, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.1.20 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE LEASE SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF SUCH LEASE AND WRITTEN NOTICE”.  Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases.  All renewals of Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market rates (unless such rental rates are otherwise set forth in the Leases executed prior to the Modification Date).  All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any terms which would materially impair Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents.  All Leases executed after the Modification Date shall provide that they are subordinate to the Mortgage encumbering the Property and that the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender or any purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale.  Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property involved except that no termination by Borrower or acceptance of surrender by a tenant of any Lease shall be permitted unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property; provided, however, that no such termination or surrender of any Lease covering more than the Relevant Leasing Threshold will be permitted without the written consent of Lender which consent may be withheld in the reasonable discretion of Lender; (iii) shall not collect any of the rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (v) shall not alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Lender; and (vi) shall execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, without the prior written consent of Lender, terminate any Lease which demises less than the Relevant Leasing Threshold under any of the following circumstances: (i) the tenant under said Lease is in default beyond any applicable grace and cure period, and Borrower has the right to terminate such Lease; (ii) such termination is permitted by the terms of the Lease in question and Borrower has secured an obligation from a third party to lease the space under the Lease to be terminated at a rental equal to or higher than the rental due under the Lease to be terminated; and (iii) if the tenant under the Lease to be terminated, has executed a right under said Lease to terminate its lease upon payment

51

5.1.21      Alterations.  Subject to the rights of tenants to make alterations pursuant to the terms of their respective Leases, Borrower shall obtain Lender’s prior written consent to any alterations to any Improvements, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to alterations that may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with any alterations that will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s financial condition, the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income, provided that such alterations are made in connection with (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease executed on or before the Modification Date, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms and provisions of a Lease and not adversely affecting any structural component of any Improvements, any utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a part of any Improvements, (c) alterations performed in connection with the restoration of the Property after the occurrence of a casualty in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement or (d) any structural alteration which costs less than $1,750,000.00 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration or any non-structural alteration which costs less than $2,750,000.00 in the aggregate for all components thereof which constitute such alteration.  If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with respect to alterations to the Improvements at the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time equal or exceed $1,750,000.00 (and such amount is not being paid from any Reserve Funds) (the “Threshold Amount”), Borrower, upon Lender’s request, 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: (A) cash, (B) U.S. Obligations, (C) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization, or (D) a completion bond or letter of credit issued by a financial institution having a rating by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Group of not less than A-1+ if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender and that the applicable Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the then current ratings assigned in connection with any Securitization.  Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts with respect to alterations to the Improvements on the Property (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and, if cash, U.S. Obligations or other securities, may be applied from time to time, at the option of Borrower, to pay for such alterations.  At the option of Lender, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may terminate any of the alterations and use the deposit to restore the Property to the extent necessary to prevent any material adverse effect on the value of the Property.

5.1.22      Tenant Direction Letters.  Borrower shall deliver Tenant Direction Letters for each Tenant occupying any portion of the Property pursuant to a Lease executed after the date hereof, or pursuant to an assignment of an existing Lease.

5.2.2        Liens.  Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on any portion of the Property or permit any such action to be taken, except:

(i)            Permitted Encumbrances;
(ii)           Liens created by or permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents; and
(iii)          Liens for Taxes or Other Charges not yet delinquent (or that Borrower is contesting in accordance with the terms of Section 5.1.2 hereof).

5.2.3        Dissolution.  Borrower shall not (a) engage in any dissolution, liquidation or consolidation or merger with or into any other business entity, (b) engage in any business activity not related to the ownership and operation of the Property, (c) transfer, lease or sell, in one transaction or any combination of transactions, the assets or all or substantially all of the properties or assets of Borrower except to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, or (d) modify, amend, waive or terminate its organizational documents or its qualification and good standing in any jurisdiction in which it is organized or the Property is located, in each case, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender or Lender’s designee.

Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.

5.2.7        Zoning.  Borrower shall not initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any portion of the Property or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any portion of the Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation, without the prior consent of Lender.

(v)           If required or requested by any of the Rating Agencies, Borrower shall deliver an Additional Insolvency Opinion reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies in connection with such Transfer; provided that an opinion in substantially the form of the opinion of counsel addressing such matters that was delivered in connection with the modification of the Loan, together with such other matters as Lender may reasonably require in light of material changes in fact or law occurring after the date of

60




 

this Agreement or to address requirements of any Rating Agency, shall be deemed to satisfy this condition;
(vi)          There shall be no material convictions, judgments, litigation or regulatory action pending or threatened against Transferee, Transferee’s Principals or Related Entities which is not reasonably acceptable to Lender, and none of Transferee, Transferee’s Principals or Related Entities shall be on any so-called prohibited persons lists;

(xi)           Lender shall have the approval of the Rating Agencies selected by Lender, which approval, if required by Lender, shall take the form of a confirmation in writing from such Rating Agencies to the effect that such Transfer will not result in a requalification, reduction, downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings in effect immediately prior to such assumption or transfer for the Securities or any class thereof issued in connection with a Securitization which are then outstanding.

(e)           Lender hereby agrees that it shall provide to Borrower notice of the anticipated date of a Securitization, not less than sixty (60) days prior to such date (a “Securitization Notice”).

(f)            With respect to any matter related to a Transfer of less than forty-nine percent (49%) of the interests in the Property pursuant to Section 5.2.13(b) above, Lender shall approve or disapprove any such matter within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s receipt of a

61




 

written notice from Borrower requesting Lender’s approval, provided such notice includes all information necessary to make such decision, and further provided that such written notice from Borrower shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13(b) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, A RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE”.  If Lender fails to disapprove any such matter within such period, Borrower shall provide a second written notice requesting approval, which written notice shall conspicuously state, in large bold type, that “PURSUANT TO SECTION 5.2.13(b) OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE MATTER DESCRIBED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED APPROVED IF LENDER DOES NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTRARY WITHIN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS OF LENDER’S RECEIPT OF THIS WRITTEN NOTICE”.  Thereafter, if Lender does not disapprove such matter within said five (5) Business Day period such matter shall be deemed approved.  Such deemed approval, however, shall not in any way be deemed to otherwise constitute a waiver of the requirements of Section 5.2.13(b).

(g)           Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.2.13 to the contrary, Lender’s consent shall not be required in connection with one or a series of Transfers of indirect interests in any Co-Owner Transferee that owns less than twenty percent (20%) of the aggregate interests in the Property; provided, however, no such Transfer shall result in the change of control in such Co-Owner Transferee.  As used in this definition, the term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of management, policies or activities of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

(h)           Borrower, without the consent of Lender, may grant easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way in the ordinary course of business for water and sewer lines, telephone and telegraph lines, electric lines and other utilities or for other similar purposes, provided that no transfer, conveyance or encumbrance shall materially impair the utility and operation of the Property or materially adversely affect the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income of the Property.  If Borrower shall receive any consideration in connection with any of said described transfers or conveyances, Borrower shall have the right to use any such proceeds in connection with any alterations performed in connection therewith, or required thereby.  In connection with any transfer, conveyance or encumbrance permitted above, the Lender shall execute and deliver any instrument reasonably necessary or appropriate to evidence its consent to said action or to subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage to such easements, restrictions, covenants, reservations and rights of way or other similar grants upon receipt by the Lender of: (A) a copy of the instrument of transfer; and (B) an Officer’s Certificate stating with respect to any transfer described above, that such transfer does not materially impair the utility and operation of the Property or materially reduce the value of the Property or the Net Operating Income of the Property.

ARTICLE 6 - - INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION

Section 6.1             Insurance.

(a)           Borrower shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

(i)            comprehensive all risk insurance on the Improvements and the Personal Property, including contingent liability from Operation of Building Laws, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements, in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000) for all such insurance coverage; and (D) containing an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” or “Enforcement” endorsement if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses.  In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such greater amount as Lender shall require; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i).
(ii)           commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit, including umbrella coverage, of not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender in writing by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards:  (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability for all legal contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 9 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;
(iii)          business income insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) covering rental losses or business interruption, as may be applicable, for a period of at least eighteen (18) months after the date of the casualty; and (D) in an annual amount equal to (100%) of the rents or estimated gross revenues from the operation of the Property (as reduced to reflect expenses not incurred during Restoration).  The amount of

63




 
such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the Modification Date and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period.  All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv)          at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the above mentioned commercial general liability insurance policy; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v)           workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State;
(vi)          comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if applicable, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;
(vii)         umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above;
(viii)        if any of the policies of insurance covering the risks required to be covered under subsections (i) through (vii) above contains an exclusion from coverage for acts of terrorism, Borrower shall obtain and maintain a separate policy providing such coverages in the event of any act of terrorism, provided such coverage is commercially available for properties similar to the Property and located in or around the region in which the Property is located; and
(ix)           upon sixty (60) days’ written 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 6.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds.  The Policies shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance

64




 

companies authorized to do business in the State and having a rating of “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports and a claims paying ability rating of “A” or better by at least two (2) of the Rating Agencies including, (i) S&P, and (ii) Moody’s if Moody’s is rating the Securities.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall be permitted to retain its current insurance coverage with St. Paul’s provided that St. Paul’s S&P rating does not fall below “A-”.  The Policies described in Section 6.1 (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) shall designate Lender as loss payee.  Not less than thirty (30) days 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 due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), 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 6.1(a).

(d)           All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name Borrower, or the Tenant, as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so-called New York standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e)           All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 6.1(a) 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 materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured;
(iii)          the issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been renewed fifteen (15) days prior to its expiration; and
(iv)          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, after ten (10) Business Days written notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate.  All premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid

65




 

by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  If Borrower fails in so insuring the Property or in so assigning and delivering the Policies, Lender may, at its option, obtain such insurance using such carriers and agencies as Lender shall elect from year to year and pay the premiums therefor, and Borrower will reimburse Lender for any premium so paid, with interest thereon as stated in the Note from the time of payment, on demand, and the amount so owning to Lender shall be secured by the Mortgage.  The insurance obtained by Lender may, but need not, protect Borrower’s interest and the coverage that Lender purchases may not pay any claim that Borrower makes or any claim that is made against Borrower in connection with the Property.

Section 6.2             Casualty.  If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower (a) shall give to Lender prompt notice of such damage reasonably estimated by Borrower to cost more than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) to repair, and (b) shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender, (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 6.4. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, 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.

Section 6.3             Condemnation.  Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of the Property upon obtaining information of such proceeding and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings.  Lender may participate in any such proceedings if an Event of Default exists or if the amount of the Award exceeds three percent (3%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan, and Borrower shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation.  Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings.  Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt.  Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note.  If the Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 6.4.  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.

Section 6.4             Restoration  (a)  If the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Relevant Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Relevant

66




 

Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (A), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J) and (L) of Section 6.4(b)(i) below are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)           If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold or the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Relevant Restoration Threshold, then in either case, Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b).  The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 6.4 shall mean: (x) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 6.1 (a)(i), (iv), (vi) and (viii) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (y) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(A)          no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B)           (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, and (x) less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such fire or other casualty, or (y) Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the restoration of the Property, or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, and (x) less than fifteen percent (15%) 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 building is located on such land, or (y) Borrower is required under a Lease exceeding the Relevant Leasing Threshold to use the Net Proceeds for the restoration of the Property;
(C)           Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than the Rentable Space Percentage of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto at their sole cost and expense.  The term “Rentable Space Percentage” shall mean (x) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%) and (y) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, a percentage amount equal to fifty percent (50%);

67




 

(D)          Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than ninety (90) days after such damage or destruction or taking or obtaining building permits, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E)           Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower;
(F)           Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases, (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 6.1(a)(iii);
(G)           the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations provided, however, that compliance with such zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, parking requirements) will not require restoration of the Improvements or the Property to a size, condition, or configuration materially different than that which existed immediately prior to such Casualty or taking;
(H)          the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable environmental laws);
(I)            such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the related Improvements;
(J)            the Debt Service Coverage Ratio, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.20 to 1.0;
(K)          Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget should be consistent with restoration budgets of similar office properties then owned and operated by nationally recognized owners and operators of office properties located in the areas in which the Property is located; and
(L)           the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.

68




 

(ii)           The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.  The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed to be paid for out of the requested disbursement in connection with the Restoration have been performed, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the 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.
(iii)          All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration, the cost of which exceeds the Relevant Restoration Threshold, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such review and acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees, shall be paid by Borrower.
(iv)          In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage.  The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed.  The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 6.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration.  The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi-governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence 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

69




 
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.
(v)           Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi)          If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made.  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents.
(vii)         The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence 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 the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

(c)           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 6.4(b)(vii) 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 (provided no Event of Default exists, such Borrower shall not be required to pay any prepayment consideration in connection with such payment), 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, in its discretion.

(d)           In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage with respect to the Property, 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

70




 

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.

(e)           Lender shall with reasonable promptness following any Casualty or Condemnation notify Borrower whether or not Net Proceeds are required to be made available to Borrower for restoration pursuant to this Section 6.4.  All Net Proceeds not required to be made available for Restoration shall be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof (a “Net Proceeds Prepayment”).  If such Net Proceeds Prepayment shall be equal to or greater than Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), Borrower shall have the right to elect to prepay the remaining outstanding principal balance of the Note (a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:  (i) within thirty (30) days following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment, Borrower shall provide Lender with written notice of Borrower’s intention to pay the Note in full, (ii) Borrower shall prepay the Note on or before the third (3rd) Payment Date occurring following the date of the Net Proceeds Prepayment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4.2, and (iii) no Event of Default shall exist on the date of such Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment.  Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.2 or Section 6.3 to the contrary, Borrower shall have no obligation to commence Restoration of the Property upon delivery of the written notice set forth in clause (i) of the preceding sentence (unless Borrower subsequently shall fail to satisfy the requirement of clause (ii) of the preceding sentence).

ARTICLE 7 - - RESERVE FUNDS

Section 7.1             Required Repair Funds.

7.1.1        Deposits. Borrower shall perform the repairs at the Property, if any, as more particularly set forth on Schedule IV hereto (such repairs hereinafter referred to as “Required Repairs”).  Borrower shall complete the Required Repairs on or before the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule IV.  It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if (i) Borrower does not complete the Required Repairs at the Property by the required deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule IV, and (ii) Borrower does not satisfy each condition contained in Section 7.1.2 hereof.  Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender, at its option, may withdraw all Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account and Lender may apply such funds either to completion of the Required Repairs at the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply Required Repair Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  On the Modification Date, Borrower shall deposit with Lender the sum of $    0    , which sum represents 125% of the estimated cost to complete the Required Repairs.  Amounts so deposited, if any, shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Fund” and the account, if any, in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Required Repair Account”.

7.1.2        Release of Required Repair Funds.  Lender shall disburse to Borrower (or to Property Manager on behalf of Borrower) the Required Repair Funds from the Required Repair Account from time to time upon satisfaction by Borrower of each of the following

71




 

conditions:  (i) Borrower shall submit a written request for payment to Lender at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which Borrower requests such payment be made and specifies the Required Repairs to be paid, (ii) on the date such request is received by Lender and on the date such payment is to be made, no Default or Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, (iii) Lender shall have received a certificate from Borrower (or the Property Manager on behalf of Borrower) (A) stating that all Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations, such certificate to be accompanied by a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required to commence and/or complete the Required Repairs, (B) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs performed at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement under a contract in excess of $50,000, and (C) stating that each Person who has supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, such certificate to be accompanied by lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (iv) at Lender’s option, a title search for the Property indicating that the Property is free from all liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (v) Lender shall have received such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Required Repairs at the Property to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrower.  Lender shall not be required to make disbursements from the Required Repair Account with respect to the Property more than once each calendar month and such disbursement shall be made only upon satisfaction of each condition contained in this Section 7.1.2.  Upon the completion of the Required Repairs as provided herein, any remaining Required Repair Funds shall be returned to Borrower provided no Event of Default then exists.

Section 7.2             Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates and (b) one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, (said amounts in (a) and (b) above are hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”).  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender.  Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and under the Mortgage.  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums) or from Borrower 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, provided, however, Lender shall use reasonable efforts to pay such real property taxes sufficiently early to obtain the benefit of any available discounts of which it has knowledge.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrower or credit

72




 

such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower.  In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes or Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes or Insurance Premiums.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not require a monthly escrow for Taxes or Insurance Premiums so long as Borrower provides Lender with evidence of payment for all Taxes and Insurance Premiums.  In the event Borrower (i) fails to provide such evidence, (ii) is delinquent in the payment of any Taxes or Insurance Premiums or (iii) an Event of Default occurs, however, Borrower will thereafter be required to make deposits with Lender for Taxes and Insurance Premiums as provided herein.  Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, Indemnitor has guaranteed to Lender the payment of the Taxes and Insurance Premiums which are not paid by Borrower as required herein.

Section 7.3             Replacements and Replacement Reserve.

7.3.1        Replacement Reserve Fund.  On each Payment Date Borrower shall pay to Lender one twelfth of the amount (the “Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit”) reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the “Replacements”), which Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit shall be in an amount equal to no less than $0.20 per year per square foot of gross leasable area.  Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Fund” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrower’s “Replacement Reserve Account”.  Lender may reassess its estimate of the amount necessary for the Replacement Reserve Fund from time to time based upon an updated engineering report of the Property, and may increase the monthly amounts required to be deposited into the Replacement Reserve Fund upon thirty (30) days notice to Borrower if Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that an increase is necessary to maintain the proper maintenance and operation of the Property.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall waive the requirement for monthly deposits to the Replacement Reserve Fund until such time as either Lender determines that the Property is not being properly maintained or the Tangible Net Worth of Indemnitor falls below $250,000,000, in which case (a) Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender greater of (i) the amount of previous deposits that have been waived less amounts actually expended by Borrower for replacements and repairs during the period that such deposits were waived or (ii) an amount determined at that time as necessary for the completion of any deferred maintenance and to complete any ongoing Replacements as and when necessary to keep the Property in good repair and condition, based on an engineering report prepared by an engineer acceptable to Lender (the “Replacement Reserve Shortfall”); provided that in no event shall the Replacement Reserve Shortfall exceed thirty-six times the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, and (b) Borrower shall thereafter make the monthly deposits to the Replacement Reserve Fund until such time as Lender determines in its sole discretion that such monthly deposits are not necessary for the proper maintenance of the Property.  Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, Indemnitor has guaranteed to Lender the payment of the Replacement Reserve Shortfall.

73




 

7.3.2        Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.

(a)           Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to pay Borrower only for the costs of the Replacements.  Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Account to reimburse Borrower for the costs of routine maintenance to the Property or for costs which are to be reimbursed from the Required Repair Fund (if any).

(b)           Lender shall, upon written request from Borrower and satisfaction of the requirements set forth in this Section 7.3.2, disburse to Borrower amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account necessary to pay for the actual approved costs of Replacements or to reimburse Borrower therefor, upon completion of such Replacements (or, upon partial completion in the case of Replacements made pursuant to Section 7.3.2(e)) as determined by Lender.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to disburse funds from the Replacement Reserve Account if a Default or an Event of Default exists.

(c)           Each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be in a form specified or approved by Lender and shall specify (i) the specific Replacements for which the disbursement is requested, (ii) the quantity and price of each item purchased, if the Replacement includes the purchase or replacement of specific items, (iii) the price of all materials (grouped by type or category) used in any Replacement other than the purchase or replacement of specific items, and (iv) the cost of all contracted labor or other services applicable to each Replacement for which such request for disbursement is made.  With each request Borrower shall certify that all Replacements have been made in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Property to which the Replacements are being provided and, unless Lender has agreed to issue joint checks as described below, each request shall include evidence of payment of all such amounts.  Each request for disbursement shall include copies of invoices for all items or materials purchased and all contracted labor or services provided.  Except as provided in Section 7.3.2(e), each request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account shall be made only after completion of the Replacement for which disbursement is requested.  Borrower shall provide Lender evidence of completion of the subject Replacement satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable judgment.

(d)           Borrower shall pay all invoices in connection with the Replacements with respect to which a disbursement is requested prior to submitting such request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account or, at the request of Borrower, Lender will issue joint checks, payable to Borrower and the contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic, subcontractor or other party to whom payment is due in connection with a Replacement.  In the case of payments made by joint check, Lender may require a waiver of lien from each Person receiving payment prior to Lender’s disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account.  In addition, as a condition to any disbursement, Lender may require Borrower to obtain lien waivers from each contractor, supplier, materialman, mechanic or subcontractor who receives payment in an amount equal to or greater than $100,000 for completion of its work or delivery of its materials.  Any lien waiver delivered hereunder shall conform to the requirements of applicable law and shall cover all work performed and materials supplied (including equipment and fixtures) for the Property by that contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialman through the date

74




 

covered by the current reimbursement request (or, in the event that payment to such contractor, supplier, subcontractor, mechanic or materialmen is to be made by a joint check, the release of lien shall be effective through the date covered by the previous release of funds request).

(e)           If (i) the cost of a Replacement exceeds $100,000, (ii) the contractor performing such Replacement requires periodic payments pursuant to terms of a written contract, and (iii) Lender has approved in writing in advance such periodic payments, a request for reimbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account may be made after completion of a portion of the work under such contract, provided (A) such contract requires payment upon completion of such portion of the work, (B) the materials for which the request is made are on site at the Property and are properly secured or have been installed in the Property, (C) all other conditions in this Agreement for disbursement have been satisfied, (D) funds remaining in the Replacement Reserve Account are, in Lender’s judgment, sufficient to complete such Replacement and other Replacements when required, and (E) if required by Lender, each contractor or subcontractor receiving payments under such contract shall provide a waiver of lien with respect to amounts which have been paid to that contractor or subcontractor.

(f)            Borrower shall not make a request for disbursement from the Replacement Reserve Account more frequently than once in any calendar month and (except in connection with the final disbursement) the total cost of all Replacements in any request shall not be less than $15,000.00.

7.3.3        Performance of Replacements.

(a)           Borrower shall make Replacements when required in order to keep the Property in condition and repair consistent with other similar properties in the same market segment in the metropolitan area in which the Property is located, and to keep the Property or any portion thereof from deteriorating.  Borrower shall complete all Replacements in a good and workmanlike manner as soon as practicable following the commencement of making each such Replacement.

(b)           Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials under contracts for an amount in excess of $100,000 in connection with the Replacements performed by Borrower.  Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

(c)           In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Replacement is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Replacement has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, and such failure continues to exist for more than thirty (30) days after notice from Lender to Borrower, Lender shall have the option, upon ten (10) days notice to Borrower (except in the case of an emergency), to withhold disbursement for such unsatisfactory Replacement and to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Replacement and to apply the Replacement Reserve Fund toward the labor and materials necessary to complete such Replacement, and to exercise any and all other remedies available to Lender upon an Event of Default hereunder.

75




 

(d)           In order to facilitate Lender’s completion or making of the Replacements pursuant to Section 7.3.3(c) above, Borrower grants Lender the right to enter onto the Property and perform any and all work and labor necessary to complete or make the Replacements and/or employ watchmen to protect the Property from damage, subject to the rights of Tenants.  All sums so expended by Lender, to the extent not from the Replacement Reserve Fund, shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Mortgage.  For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Replacements in the name of Borrower.  Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked but shall only be effective following an Event of Default.  Borrower empowers said attorney-in-fact as follows:  (i) to use any funds in the Replacement Reserve Account for the purpose of making or completing the Replacements; (ii) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Replacements as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Replacements; (iii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iv) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Replacements, or for clearance of title; (v) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (vi) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vii) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

(e)           Nothing in this Section 7.3.3 shall:  (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Replacements; (ii) require Lender to expend funds in addition to the Replacement Reserve Fund to make or complete any Replacement; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Replacements; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Replacement.

(f)            Borrower shall permit Lender and Lender’s agents and representatives (including, without limitation, Lender’s engineer, architect, or inspector) or third parties making Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3 to enter onto the Property during normal business hours (subject to the rights of tenants under their Leases) to inspect the progress of any Replacements and all materials being used in connection therewith, to examine all plans and shop drawings relating to such Replacements which are or may be kept at the Property, and to complete any Replacements made pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.  Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 7.3.3(f) or the completion of Replacements pursuant to this Section 7.3.3.

(g)           Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrower’s expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in excess of $100,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account in order to verify completion of the Replacements for which reimbursement is sought.  Lender may require that such inspection be conducted by an appropriate independent qualified professional selected by Lender and/or may require a copy of a certificate of completion by an independent qualified professional acceptable to Lender prior to the disbursement of any amounts from the Replacement Reserve Account.  Borrower shall pay the expense of the

76




 

inspection as required hereunder, whether such inspection is conducted by Lender or by an independent qualified professional.

(h)           The Replacements and all materials, equipment, fixtures, or any other item comprising a part of any Replacement shall be constructed, installed or completed, as applicable, free and clear of all mechanic’s, materialman’s or other liens (except for those Liens existing on the date of this Agreement which have been approved in writing by Lender).

(i)            Before each disbursement in excess of $100,000 from the Replacement Reserve Account, Lender may require Borrower to provide Lender with a search of title to the Property effective to the date of the disbursement, which search shows that no mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or other liens of any nature have been placed against the Property since the date of recordation of the Mortgage and that title to the Property is free and clear of all Liens (other than the lien of the Mortgage and any other Liens previously approved in writing by Lender, if any).

(j)            All Replacements shall comply with all applicable Legal Requirements of all Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and applicable insurance requirements including, without limitation, applicable building codes, special use permits, environmental regulations, and requirements of insurance underwriters.

(k)           In addition to any insurance required under the Loan Documents, Borrower shall provide or cause to be provided workmen’s compensation insurance, builder’s risk, and public liability insurance and other insurance to the extent required under applicable law in connection with a particular Replacement.  All such policies shall be in form and amount reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  All such policies which can be endorsed with standard mortgagee clauses making loss payable to Lender or its assigns shall be so endorsed.  Certified copies of such policies shall be delivered to Lender.

7.3.4        Failure to Make Replacements.

(a)           It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement if Borrower fails to comply with any provision of this Section 7.3 and such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after notice from Lender; provided, however, if such failure is not capable of being cured within said thirty (30) day period, then provided that Borrower commences action to complete such cure and thereafter diligently proceeds to complete such cure, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower, in the exercise of due diligence, to cure such failure, but such additional period of time shall not exceed ninety (90) days.  Upon the occurrence of such an Event of Default, Lender may use the Replacement Reserve Fund (or any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to completion of the Replacements as provided in Section 7.3.3, or for any other repair or replacement to the Property or toward payment of the Debt in such order, proportion and priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion.  Lender’s right to withdraw and apply the Replacement Reserve Funds shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b)           Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lender to apply all or any portion of the Replacement Reserve Fund on account of an Event of Default to payment of the Debt or in any specific order or priority.

7.3.5        Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.

7.3.6        Indemnification.  Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the performance of the Replacements unless the same are solely due to gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.  Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Replacements; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.

Section 7.4             Lease Obligation Reserve.

7.4.1        Deposits to Lease Obligations Reserve Fund.  Borrower represents that Schedule XII sets forth all tenant improvement allowances and rent concessions outstanding as of the Modification Date (collectively, the “Lease Obligations”).  Borrower covenants to pay all Lease Obligations as and when the same are due under the related Leases.  In the event that (a) Borrower fails to pay any such Lease Obligations as and when the same are due under the related Leases, (b) the Tangible Net Worth of Indemnitor falls below $250,000,000 or (c) an Event of Default occurs, Borrower shall promptly deposit with Lender the amount of any Lease Obligations then outstanding (the “Lease Obligations Shortfall”).  Any amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Lease Obligations Reserve Fund”.  Pursuant to the Indemnity Agreement, Indemnitor has guaranteed to Lender the payment of the Lease Obligations Shortfall.

7.4.2        Withdrawal of Lease Obligations Reserve Funds.  Lender shall make disbursements from the Lease Obligations Reserve Fund for payment of the Lease Obligations.  Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower (or by Property Manager on behalf of Borrower) on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrower of Lender’s standard form of draw request and evidence that the related Lease Obligations have been paid or will be paid from the proceeds of such disbursement.  If requested by Lender in connection with any disbursement of Lease Obligations Reserve Funds, Borrower shall also deliver copies of paid invoices, lien waivers and evidence that any related tenant improvements have been completed in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 7.5             Reserve Funds, Generally.

7.5.1        Borrower hereby grants to Lender a security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund as

78




 

additional security for payment of the Debt.  Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt.

7.5.2        Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion.

7.5.3        The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.

7.5.4        All of the Reserve Funds other than the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be placed in interest bearing accounts and any interest earned thereon, less a servicing fee of one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum (but in no event more than the interest earned), shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Fund.  Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest earned on such Reserve Funds which is credited or paid to Borrower.

7.5.5        Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.

7.5.6        Lender shall not be liable for any loss sustained on the investment of any funds constituting the Reserve Funds unless occasioned by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender.

7.5.7        Upon payment in full of the Debt and performance of all other obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Lender shall disburse to Borrower all remaining Reserve Funds.

Section 7.6             Letter of Credit Rights.  Any Letter of Credit delivered to Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be held by Lender as additional security for the Loan.  Lender shall have the right to draw upon any Letter of Credit immediately and without further notice:

(a)           upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default;

(b)           if Borrower fails to deliver to Lender, no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any Letter of Credit (including any renewal or extension thereof), a renewal or extension of such Letter of Credit or a replacement Letter of Credit; or

(c)           if the institution issuing the Letter of Credit ceases to be an Eligible Institution and Borrower fails to deliver to Lender a replacement Letter of Credit from an Eligible Institution within thirty (30) days of the date that such institution ceased to be an Eligible Institution.

(b)           Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt 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 Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other 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 herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.2             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 this Agreement or any of the other 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 Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property.  Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule (to the extent waiveable by Borrower),  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 Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b)           To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose the Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured

82




 

by the Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, 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 of the Loan, 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, the Property shall remain subject to the Mortgage to secure payment of sums secured by the Mortgage and not previously recovered.

(c)           Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note, the Mortgage 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 following the occurrence of an Event of Default 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 until three (3) 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, and 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 Modification Date.

(d)           As used in this Section 8.2, a “foreclosure” shall include any sale by power of sale.

Section 8.3             Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.  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.

(a)           (i)            provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Property Manager, (ii) provide budgets relating to the Property and (iii) to perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, market studies, environmental reviews and reports (Phase I’s and, if appropriate, Phase II’s), engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the Securitization (the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification and/or consents of the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;

(b)           cause counsel to render opinions, which may be relied upon by the holder of the Note, the Rating Agencies and their respective counsel, agents and representatives, as to non-consolidation, fraudulent conveyance, and true sale and/or lease or any other opinion customary in securitization transactions, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to the holder of the Note and the Rating Agencies;

(c)           make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with respect to the Property, Borrower, and the Loan Documents as are consistent with the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; and

(d)           execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and organizational documents as may be reasonably requested by the holder of the Note or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect the Securitization; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify or amend any Loan Document if such modification or amendment would (i) change the interest rate, the stated maturity or the amortization of principal set forth in the Note, or (ii)  modify or amend any other material economic term of the Loan.

All material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.  Additionally, if Lender requires a second Independent Director in connection with a Securitization, Lender shall prior to the cut-off date for such Securitization, reimburse Borrower for the estimated cost of maintaining a second Independent Director for the remaining term of the Loan.

Section 9.2             Securitization.  Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in disclosure documents in connection with the Securitization,

84




 

including, without limitation, a prospectus, prospectus supplement or private placement memorandum (each, a “Disclosure Document”) and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization.  In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.

Section 9.4             Exculpation.  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 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 following an Event of Default, 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 following an Event of Default and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it 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 any of the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of the Indemnity Agreement, any Co-Owner Indemnity or any other 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 any of the Assignment of Leases following an Event of Default; or (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender commencing any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the Property.  In addition, the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of a Borrower, Sponsor or any Principal of a Borrower (or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing), by money judgment or otherwise, as expressly set forth in any Co-Owner Indemnity or Indemnity Agreement executed in connection herewith.

Section 9.5             Termination of Property Manager.  If (a) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Property Manager shall become insolvent, (c) the Property Manager is in default under the terms of the Property Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace

85

Section 9.6             Servicer.  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer.  Lender shall be responsible for any set-up fees or any other costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement.

Section 9.7             Resizing.  Borrower covenants and agrees that in connection with any Securitization of the Loan, upon Lender’s request Borrower shall deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple components of the Loan or create one or more mezzanine loans (including amending Borrower’s organizational structure to provide for one or more mezzanine borrowers) (each a “Resizing Event”).  Lender agrees that such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes shall after the Resizing Event have the same weighted average coupon as the original note prior to such Resizing Event, except that the application of principal to such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes following an Event of Default or as a result of a Casualty or Condemnation may cause the weighted average spread of such new notes or modified note or mezzanine notes to change.  Subject to the foregoing, Lender shall have the right to apply principal, interest rates and amortization of the Loan between such new components and/or mezzanine loans in a manner specified by Lender in its sole discretion such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum bond execution for the Loan.  In connection with any Resizing Event, Borrower covenants and agrees to modify

86




 

the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components and/or mezzanine loans.

Section 10.8           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 10.9           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 10.10         Preferences.  Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower during the existence of an Event of Default 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 10.11         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 10.12         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

90




 

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, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment.  The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 10.13         Expenses; Indemnity.

(a)           Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Modification Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) Lender’s ongoing performance and compliance with all agreements and conditions contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Modification Date; (iv) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, 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 reasonably requested by Lender; (v) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (vi) 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; (vii) 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, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (viii) 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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all material out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with complying with requests made under Section 9.1 shall be paid by Lender.

(b)           Each Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender from and against any and all other 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 Lender in

91




 

connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any breach by such Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by such 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 such Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender.  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, such 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 Lender.

Section 10.14         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 10.15         Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses.  Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note 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 10.16         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 Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein.  All conditions to the obligations of Lender to modify 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 modify 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.

92




Section 10.17         Publicity.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower 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 Lender, Bear Stearns, or any of their Affiliates shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender.  All news releases, publicity or advertising by Lender through any media intended to reach the general public which refers solely to the Borrower or to the Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower shall be subject to the prior written approval of Borrower, provided however, the foregoing shall not apply to Provided Information included in disclosure documents in connection with a Securitization.

Section 10.18         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, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or sale of the Property by power of sale, and agrees not to 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 10.19         Waiver of Counterclaim.  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.

Section 10.20         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 10.21         Brokers and Financial Advisors.  Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement other than NorthMarq Capital.  Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any

93




 

and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s reasonable 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 10.21 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 10.22         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 or understandings among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and unless specifically set forth in a writing contemporaneous herewith the terms, conditions and provisions of such prior agreement do not survive execution of this Agreement.

Section 10.23         Transfer of Loan.  In the event that Lender transfers the Loan, Borrower shall continue to make payments at the place set forth in the Note (and its obligation to make such payments shall be deemed satisfied upon the making of such payments) until such time that Borrower is notified in writing by Lender that payments are to be made at another place.

Section 10.24         Joint and Several Liability.  If Borrower consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each person or party shall be joint and several except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents.

Section 10.25         MERS.  MERS serves as mortgagee of record and secured party solely as nominee, in an administrative capacity, for Lender and only holds legal title to the interests granted, assigned, and transferred in the Mortgage and the Assignments of Leases.  MERS shall at all times comply with the instructions of Lender.  If necessary to comply with law or custom, MERS (for the benefit of Lender) may be directed by Lender to exercise any or all of those interests, including without limitation, the right to foreclose and sell the Property, and take any action required of Lender, including without limitation, a release, discharge or reconveyance of the Mortgage.  Subject to the foregoing, all references in the Loan Documents to “Mortgagee” shall include Lender and its successors and assigns.  The relationship of Borrower and Lender under the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender (the role of MERS thereunder being solely that of nominee as set forth above and not that of a lender); and Lender neither undertakes nor assumes any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any other Person with respect to the Property.
