Reserve Deposits. If and to the extent required under the provisions of Section 3.3.2 below, Borrower shall, from and after the date (and if) Borrower is required to do so under the provisions of Section 3.3.2 below, pay to Lender on each Payment Date the Monthly Tax and Insurance Deposit (as determined by Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3.2 below). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the “Tax and Insurance Subaccount”). Provided that no monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has

 

 

 

i




 

 

 

promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums due and paid any deficiency between the amounts held in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount and the amounts due with respect to such Taxes and Insurance Premiums, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof. In making any payment relating to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, 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), 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.

 

22

 

 

3.3.2

Guaranty in Lieu of Tax and Insurance Deposits. In lieu of a requirement for monthly deposits by Borrower into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount, Guarantor, pursuant to the Guaranty, has (among other obligations thereunder) guaranteed payment in full of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums and agreed to pay to Lender, upon Lender’s demand following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, an amount equal to the Guaranty Limit Amount, determined as the sum of various amounts, including an amount (initially equal to $6,230,661) equal to the sum of the estimated annual Taxes and Insurance Premiums (as such estimate may increase from time to time, as reasonably determined by Lender, the “Tax and Insurance Reserve Offset Amount”). Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and without limiting any rights or remedies available to Lender in connection therewith), Borrower shall make monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next 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 (ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) 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 (such monthly required deposit amount, as adjusted by Lender from time to time in the event of increases or decreases in annual estimated Taxes and Insurance Premiums, the “Monthly Tax and Insurance Deposit”). If Lender receives the Tax and Insurance Reserve Offset Amount from Guarantor under the Guaranty, Lender shall transfer the same to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to be applied as provided in Section 3.1.1 above,

 

 

 

ii




 

 

 

subject to Lender’s right to apply the same otherwise as set forth in Section 3.10 below.

3.4

Capital Expense Reserves

3.4.1

Reserve Deposits. If and to the extent required under the provisions of Section 3.4.2 below, Borrower shall, from and after the date (and if) Borrower is required to do so under the provisions of Section 3.4.2 below, pay to Lender $19,741 (the “Monthly Capital Reserve Deposit Amount”) on each Payment Date (such deposits, the “Monthly Capital Reserve Deposits”). Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the “Capital Reserve Subaccount”). Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment required under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable discretion (based upon its then current underwriting standards). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in minimum amounts of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense (with respect to any disbursement in excess of $50,000)) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) lien waivers or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (C) with respect to any disbursement that exceeds $50,000, 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 (D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses 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. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.

TI/LC Holdback Reserve. Attached hereto as Schedule 8 is a schedule of certain tenant improvement costs and expenses required to be incurred by Borrower in completing or reimbursing the tenants specified in Schedule 8 (the “TI/LC Holdback Tenants”) for tenant improvements and/or paying leasing commissions specified in Schedule 8 as the same are incurred or become due under the related Leases specified on Schedule 8 (the “TI/LC Holdback Leases”), in each case allocated among such leases as set forth on Schedule 8, in a total amount aggregating to $5,947,407.07. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender $5,947,407.07. Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “TI/LC Holdback Reserve Subaccount”). Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the TI/LC Holdback Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within 15 days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in minimum amounts of at least $5,000, provided (i) such request includes an estoppel from the related TI/LC Holdback Tenant certifying that all construction to be performed and all improvements to be installed under the related TI/LC Holdback Lease have been completed and fully accepted by the related TI/LC Holdback Tenant, and that there are no defaults under such lease (nor does there exist any event or condition, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, could result in such a default); (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrowers’ expense) performance of any construction work associated with such tenant improvements; (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions under the related TI/LC Holdback Lease, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, and (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor; and (iv) the total amount of disbursements from the TI/LC Holdback Reserve Subaccount on account of a given TI/LC Holdback Lease shall not aggregate in excess of the amount for such TI/LC Holdback Lease indicated on Schedule 8. Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to

 

 

 

iv




 

 

pay (rather than reimburse) tenant improvements under this Section may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrowers and the payee of such tenant improvements or leasing commissions, as applicable.

 

29

 

3.14

Initial Deposits into Reserves. The initial deposits required to be made on the date hereof into the reserve accounts established under this Article 3 are funded from the proceeds of the Loan disbursed at closing.

3.15

Letters of Credit in Lieu of Reserves.

 

30

 

(C)  if Borrower shall have provided any Reserve Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.15 and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the amount of the Reserve Letter of Credit shall be reduced from time to time, upon Borrower’s written request to Lender, by an amount equal to not more than the amount that Borrower would have been entitled to have disbursed to it from the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) if cash reserves had continued to be held therein rather than such Reserve Letter of Credit substituted therefor, and provided further, that: (1) such requests may be made not more frequently than once per month; (2) without limiting any other requirement hereunder, the amount of any reduction shall be in increments of $100,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof; (3) all requirements of Section 3.5 and/or 3.13, as applicable, shall have been satisfied as if cash reserves were then held in the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) rather than such Reserve Letter of Credit substituted therefor and Borrower were requesting a disbursement of funds from the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) in an amount equal to the requested reduction in the amount of such Reserve Letter of Credit. If the amount of the Reserve Letter of Credit is reduced, Lender will cooperate with Borrower in amending or replacing the Reserve Letter of Credit to reflect such reduced amount of the Reserve Letter of Credit. Borrower shall pay any fees or other amounts charged by any issuing bank with respect to any such request and shall promptly pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with any such request, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

31

 

 

 

 

(D)

Lender shall have the right to draw upon each Reserve Letter of Credit in the full amount thereof upon the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any Event of Default; or (2) Lender receives a notice stating that the Reserve Letter of Credit will not be renewed (as provided for in such Reserve Letter of Credit) and a replacement for such Reserve Letter of Credit conforming with the requirements of an Acceptable Letter of Credit shall not have been provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the applicable Reserve Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire or such Reserve Letter of Credit is to expire within thirty (30) days and an extension or renewal of such Reserve Letter of Credit conforming with the requirements of an Acceptable Letter of Credit shall not have been provided. The proceeds of any draw under the Reserve Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 3.15(D)(1) above shall be allocated to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including (if the Loan has been accelerated) to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto). The

 

 

 

v




 

proceeds of any draw under the Reserve Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 3.15(D)(2) above shall be deposited by Lender into the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.5 and/or 3.13, as applicable, as well as the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Borrower shall pay any fees or other amounts charged by any issuing bank with respect to any such draw and shall promptly pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with any such draw, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

                1.3 Principles of Construction. Unless otherwise specified, (i) all references to sections and schedules are to those in this Agreement, (ii) the words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision, (iii) all definitions are equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined, (iv) the words “include” and “including” mean “including but not limited to,” and (v) accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP.

2.     GENERAL LOAN TERMS

                                2.1  The Loan.  Lender is making a loan (the “Loan”) to Borrower on the date hereof, in the original principal amount (the “Principal”) of $202,000,000, which shall mature on the Stated Maturity Date or, if a Defeasance Event has occurred in accordance with Section 2.3.3 hereof, on the Defeasance Maturity Date. Borrower acknowledges receipt of the Loan, the proceeds of which are being and shall be used to (i) acquire the Property, (ii) fund certain of the Subaccounts, and (iii) pay transaction costs. Any excess proceeds may be used for any lawful purpose. No amount repaid in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.

15




                2.2  Interest; Monthly Payments.

                                2.2.1  Generally.  From and after the date hereof, interest on the unpaid Principal shall accrue at the Interest Rate and be payable as hereinafter provided. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Principal from the date hereof through and including June 5, 2006. On July 6, 2006 and each Payment Date thereafter through and including the Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Commencement Date, Borrower shall pay interest only on the unpaid Principal accrued at the Interest Rate during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Payment Date (the “Monthly Interest Payment Amount”). On the Amortization Commencement Date and each Payment Date thereafter through and including May 6, 2016 (as such date may be changed in accordance with Section 2.2.4), the Principal and interest thereon at the Interest Rate shall be payable in equal monthly installments of $1,236,007.87 (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”); which is based on the Interest Rate and a 360-month amortization schedule. The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount due on any Payment Date shall first be applied to the payment of interest accrued during the preceding Interest Period and the remainder of such Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied to the reduction of the unpaid Principal. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. If the Loan is repaid on any date other than on a Payment Date (whether prior to or after the Stated Maturity Date), Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such repaid Principal to but not including the next Payment Date.

                                2.2.2  Default Rate.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid Debt shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and shall be payable upon demand from time to time, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

                                2.2.3  Taxes.  Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 2.2.3 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Lender, the following shall apply:  (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.2.3), Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Lender makes written demand therefor. If the amounts payable hereunder relate to Applicable Taxes which are not of general application to lending institutions making secured mortgage loans at such time, Borrower shall have the option to prepay the Loan in full without any Yield Maintenance Premium unless Lender, at its option, elects not to require Borrower to pay such Applicable Taxes pursuant to this Section 2.2.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Loan is transferred to a transferee which is organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any state thereof, the transferor shall cause such transferee,

16




concurrently with the effectiveness of such transfer, to furnish to the transferor and Borrower either a United States Internal Revenue Service Form 4224 or United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 (wherein such transferee claims entitlement to complete exemption from United States federal withholding tax on all interest payments hereunder); provided, however, that in the event that the transferor fails to cause the transferee to furnish either such Form, Borrower shall deduct any Applicable Taxes to the extent required by law and payments shall be made net of any Applicable Taxes without regard to the provisions of clause (i) of the second sentence of this Section 2.2.3.

                                2.2.4  New Payment Date.  Lender shall have the right, to be exercised not more than once during the term of the Loan, to change the Payment Date to a date other than the sixth day of each month (a “New Payment Date”), on thirty (30) days’ written notice to Borrower; provided, however, that any such change in the Payment Date: (i) shall not modify the amount of regularly scheduled monthly principal and interest payments, except that the first payment of principal and interest payable on the New Payment Date shall be accompanied by interest at the interest rate herein provided for the period from the Payment Date in the month in which the New Payment Date first occurs to the New Payment Date, (ii) shall extend the Amortization Commencement Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Amortization Commencement Date, and (iii) shall extend the Stated Maturity Date to the New Payment Date occurring in the month set forth in the definition of Stated Maturity Date.

2.3  Loan Repayment.

                                2.3.1  Repayment.  Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note in full on the Maturity Date, together with interest thereon to (but excluding) the date of repayment and any other amounts due and owing under the Loan Documents. Borrower shall have no right to prepay or defease all or any portion of the Principal except in accordance with Section 2.2.3 above, Section 2.3.2 below, Section 2.3.3 below, Section 2.3.4 below, Section 2.4 below and Section 7.4.2 below. Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any repayment, including any prepayments of the Loan, shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority:  First, accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; Second, to Principal; and Third, to and any other amounts then due and owing under the Loan Documents. If prior to the Stated Maturity Date the Debt is accelerated by reason of an Event of Default, then Lender shall be entitled to receive, in addition to the unpaid Principal and accrued interest and other sums due under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium applicable to such Principal so accelerated. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of repayment, including any payment or recovery on the Property (whether through foreclosure, deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, or otherwise) shall, unless otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, be applied in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion.

                                2.3.2       Mandatory Prepayments. The Loan is subject to mandatory prepayment in certain instances of Insured Casualty or Condemnation (each a “Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment”), in the manner and to the extent set forth in Section 7.4.2 hereof. Each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment, after deducting Lender’s costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with the settlement or collection of the Proceeds or Award, shall be applied in the same manner as repayments under Section 2.3.1

17




above, and if such Casualty/Condemnation Payment is made on any date other than a Payment Date, then such Casualty/Condemnation Payment shall include interest that would have accrued on the Principal prepaid to but not including the next Payment Date. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, any such mandatory prepayment under this Section 2.3.2 shall be without the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each Casualty/Condemnation Prepayment shall be applied in inverse order of maturity and shall not extend or postpone the due dates of the monthly installments due under the Note or this Agreement, or change the amounts of such installments. In addition, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, provided no Event of Default is continuing, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be payable in connection with any prepayment of the Debt required by Lender under Sections 5 and 6 of the Mortgage.

2.3.3       Defeasance

(a)  Conditions to Defeasance.  Provided no Event of Default shall be continuing, Borrower shall have the right on any Payment Date after the Release Date and prior to the Permitted Prepayment Date to voluntarily defease the entire amount of the Principal and obtain a release of the Lien of the Mortgage by providing Lender with the Defeasance Collateral (a “Defeasance Event”), subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(i)    Borrower shall give Lender not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice specifying a Payment Date (the “Defeasance Date”) on which the Defeasance Event is to occur.
(ii)   Borrower shall pay to Lender (A) all payments of Principal and interest due on the Loan to and including the Defeasance Date and (B) all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(iii)  Borrower shall deposit the Defeasance Collateral into the Defeasance Collateral Account and otherwise comply with the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 2.3.3;
(iv)  Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a Security Agreement in respect of the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral;
(v)   Borrower shall deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel for Borrower that is standard in commercial lending transactions and subject only to customary qualifications, assumptions and exceptions opining, among other things, that (i) Lender has a legal and valid perfected first priority security interest in the Defeasance Collateral Account and the Defeasance Collateral, (ii) if a securitization has occurred, the REMIC Trust formed pursuant to such securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a “real estate mortgage investment conduit” within the meaning of Section 860D of the Code as a result of a Defeasance Event pursuant to this Section 2.3.3, (iii) the Defeasance Event will not result in a significant modification and will not be an exchange of the Note for purposes of Section 1001 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (iv) delivery of the Defeasance Collateral and the grant of a security interest therein to Lender will not constitute an avoidable preference under Section 547 of the

18




Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law and (v) a non-consolidation opinion with respect to the Successor Borrower;
(vi)  Borrower shall deliver to Lender a Rating Comfort Letter as to the Defeasance Event;
(vii) Borrower shall deliver an Officer’s Certificate certifying that the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3.3 have been satisfied;
(viii)        Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a “big four” or other nationally recognized public accounting firm acceptable to Lender certifying that (i) the Defeasance Collateral will generate monthly amounts equal to or greater than the Scheduled Defeasance Payments, and (ii) the securities that comprise the Defeasance Collateral are not subject to prepayment, call or early redemption;
(ix)   Borrower shall deliver such other certificates, opinions, documents and instruments as Lender may reasonably request; and
(x)    Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with the Defeasance Event, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and Rating Agency fees and expenses.
(b)   Defeasance Collateral Account. On or before the date on which Borrower delivers the Defeasance Collateral, Borrower shall open at any Eligible Institution the defeasance collateral account (the “Defeasance Collateral Account”) which shall at all times be an Eligible Account. The Defeasance Collateral Account shall contain only (i) Defeasance Collateral, and (ii) cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral. All cash from interest and principal payments paid on the Defeasance Collateral shall be paid over to Lender on each Payment Date and applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and then to Principal. Any cash from interest and principal paid on the Defeasance Collateral not needed to pay accrued and unpaid interest or Principal shall be retained in the Defeasance Collateral Account as additional collateral for the Loan. Borrower shall cause the Eligible Institution at which the Defeasance Collateral is deposited to enter an agreement with Borrower and Lender, satisfactory to Lender in its sole discretion, pursuant to which such Eligible Institution shall agree to hold and distribute the Defeasance Collateral in accordance with this Agreement. The Successor Borrower shall be the owner of the Defeasance Collateral Account and shall report all income accrued on Defeasance Collateral for federal, state and local income tax purposes in its income tax return. Borrower shall prepay all cost and expenses associated with opening and maintaining the Defeasance Collateral Account. Lender shall not in any way be liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Defeasance Collateral Account.
(c)   Successor Borrower. In connection with a Defeasance Event under this Section 2.3.3, Borrower shall, if required by the Rating Agencies or if Borrower elects to do so, establish or designate a successor entity (the “Successor Borrower”) which shall be a Single Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity and which shall be approved by the Rating Agencies. Any such Successor Borrower may, at Borrower’s option, be an Affiliate of Borrower unless the Rating Agencies shall require otherwise. Borrower shall transfer and assign all obligations,

19




rights and duties under and to the Defeased Note, together with the Defeasance Collateral 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 a minimum of $1,000 to any such Successor Borrower as consideration for assuming the obligations under the Note and the Security Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including Lender’s attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred in connection therewith.

                                2.3.4  Optional Prepayments.  On and after the third Payment Date prior to the Stated Maturity Date (the “Permitted Prepayment Date”), Borrower shall have the right to prepay the Loan in whole (but not in part), provided that Borrower gives Lender at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice thereof. If any such prepayment is not made on a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest that would have accrued on such prepaid Principal to, but not including, the next Payment Date. Any such prepayment shall be made without payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium.

                2.4  Release of Property.

2.4.1  Release on Defeasance.  If Borrower has elected to defease the Note and the requirements of Section 2.3.3 above and this Section 2.4 have been satisfied, the Property shall be released from the Lien of the Mortgage and the Defeasance Collateral pledged pursuant to the Security Agreement shall be the sole source of collateral securing the Note. In connection with the release of the Lien, Borrower shall submit to Lender, not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Defeasance Date (or such shorter time as is acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion), a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) for execution by Lender. Such release shall be in a form appropriate in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located and contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing lender. In addition, Borrower shall provide all other documentation Lender reasonably requires to be delivered by Borrower in connection with such release, together with an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation (i) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and (ii) will effect such release in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

                                2.4.2  Release on Payment in Full.  Lender shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance herewith, release or, if requested by Borrower, assign to Borrower’s designee (without any representation or warranty by and without any recourse against Lender whatsoever), the Lien of the Loan Documents if not theretofore released.

                2.5  Payments and Computations.

                                2.5.1  Making of Payments.  Each payment by Borrower shall be made in funds settled through the New York Clearing House Interbank Payments System or other funds immediately available to Lender by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date such payment is due, to Lender by deposit to such account as Lender may designate by written notice to Borrower. Whenever any such payment shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day thereafter. All such payments shall

20




 

be made irrespective of, and without any deduction, set-off or counterclaim whatsoever and are payable without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and with all costs and charges incurred in the collection or enforcement thereof, including attorneys’ fees and court costs.

                                2.5.2  Computations.  Interest payable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year.

                                2.5.3  Late Payment Charge.  If any regularly scheduled payment of Principal, interest or other monthly payment or reserve or escrow deposit due under any Loan Document is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, and, subject to the last sentence of this Section 2.5.3, such failure continues for five (5) days, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law (the “Late Payment Charge”), 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.  Such amount shall be secured by the Loan Documents.  With respect to the foregoing 5 day grace period, the parties agree that such 5 day grace period shall only be applicable no more than twice during the Term, and in all other instances, the Late Payment Charge shall be payable in accordance with this Section 2.5.3 with respect to any Principal, interest or other sum due under any Loan Document which is not paid by Borrower on the date on which the same is due (other than the balloon payment of Principal due on the Maturity Date or acceleration of the Loan).

3.  CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVES

                3.1  Cash Management Arrangements.  Borrower shall cause all Rents to be transmitted directly by tenants of the Property into an Eligible Account (the “Clearing Account”) maintained by Borrower at a local bank selected by Borrower, which shall at all times be an Eligible Institution (the “Clearing Bank”) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement.  Without in any way limiting the foregoing, all Rents received by Borrower or Manager shall be deposited into the Clearing Account within two Business Days of receipt.  Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into an Eligible Account at the Deposit Bank controlled by Lender (the “Deposit Account”) and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement.  Funds in the Deposit Account shall be invested at Lender’s discretion only in Permitted Investments.  Lender will also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are collectively referred to herein as “Subaccounts”).  The Deposit Account and any Subaccount will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and Borrower shall not have any right of withdrawal therefrom.  Borrower shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.

                3.2  Required Repairs.

                                3.2.1  Completion of Required Repairs.  Borrower shall perform and complete each item of the repairs and environmental remedial work at the Property described on Schedule 1 hereto (the “Required Repairs”) within six (6) months of the date hereof; provided, however, that if such Required Repairs cannot reasonably be completed within such six (6) month period, upon Borrower’s request, such period shall be extended in Lender’s reasonable discretion for

21




such additional period of time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to complete such Required Repairs, so long as (a) Borrower in good faith commences its efforts to perform such Required Repairs promptly after the date hereof and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to perform and complete the same, and (b) Borrower’s failure to have completed such Required Repairs does not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan.

                                3.2.2  Guaranty in Lieu of Required Repairs Reserve.  In lieu of a requirement hereunder for a reserve to be established with Lender on the date hereof for the Required Repairs, Guarantor, pursuant to the Guaranty, has (among other obligations thereunder) guaranteed payment and performance in full of the Required Repairs and agreed to pay to Lender, upon Lender’s demand following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, an amount equal to the Guaranty Limit Amount, determined as the sum of various amounts, including an amount equal to $300,000, being 125% of the estimated cost of the Required Repairs (subject to reduction as provided below, the “Required Repairs Reserve Offset Amount”).  So long as no Event of Default exists, upon Borrower’s completion of the Required Repairs in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements and payment in full of the cost thereof, demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction with such evidence of payment and completion as Lender may reasonably require (including paid invoices and a certificate of Borrower, and, if required by Lender, an inspection of the work at Borrower’s expense), the Required Repairs Reserve Offset Amount shall be reduced to zero, with a corresponding dollar for dollar reduction of the Guaranty Limit Amount.  If Lender receives the Required Repairs Reserve Offset Amount from Guarantor under the Guaranty, Lender shall transfer the same to a Subaccount to be applied to the payment of the costs of the Required Repairs, subject to Lender’s right to apply the same otherwise as set forth in Section 3.10 below.

                3.3  Tax and Insurance Reserve.

3.3.1  Reserve Deposits.  If and to the extent required under the provisions of Section 3.3.2 below, Borrower shall, from and after the date (and if) Borrower is required to do so under the provisions of Section 3.3.2 below, pay to Lender on each Payment Date the Monthly Tax and Insurance Deposit (as determined by Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.3.2 below).  Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to a Subaccount (the Tax and Insurance Subaccount).  Provided that no monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender will (a) apply funds in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof and Section 7.1 hereof, provided that Borrower has promptly supplied Lender with notices of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums due and paid any deficiency between the amounts held in the Tax and Insurance Subaccount and the amounts due with respect to such Taxes and Insurance Premiums, or (b) reimburse Borrower for such amounts upon presentation of evidence of payment; subject, however, to Borrower’s right to contest Taxes in accordance with Section 5.2 hereof.  In making any payment relating to Taxes and Insurance Premiums, 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), 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.

22




3.3.2  Guaranty in Lieu of Tax and Insurance Deposits.  In lieu of a requirement for monthly deposits by Borrower into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount, Guarantor, pursuant to the Guaranty, has (among other obligations thereunder) guaranteed payment in full of all Taxes and Insurance Premiums and agreed to pay to Lender, upon Lender’s demand following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, an amount equal to the Guaranty Limit Amount, determined as the sum of various amounts, including an amount (initially equal to $6,230,661) equal to the sum of the estimated annual Taxes and Insurance Premiums (as such estimate may increase from time to time, as reasonably determined by Lender, the Tax and Insurance Reserve Offset Amount).  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and without limiting any rights or remedies available to Lender in connection therewith), Borrower shall make monthly deposits into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount on each Payment Date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) one-twelfth (1/12th) of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next 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 (ii) one-twelfth (1/12th) 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 (such monthly required deposit amount, as adjusted by Lender from time to time in the event of increases or decreases in annual estimated Taxes and Insurance Premiums, the Monthly Tax and Insurance Deposit).  If Lender receives the Tax and Insurance Reserve Offset Amount from Guarantor under the Guaranty, Lender shall transfer the same to the Tax and Insurance Subaccount to be applied as provided in Section 3.1.1 above, subject to Lender’s right to apply the same otherwise as set forth in Section 3.10 below.

                3.4  Capital Expense Reserves.

3.4.1  Reserve DepositsIf and to the extent required under the provisions of Section 3.4.2 below, Borrower shall, from and after the date (and if) Borrower is required to do so under the provisions of Section 3.4.2 below, pay to Lender $19,741 (the Monthly Capital Reserve Deposit Amount) on each Payment Date (such deposits, the Monthly Capital Reserve Deposits).  Lender will transfer such amounts into a Subaccount (the Capital Reserve Subaccount).  Additionally, upon thirty (30) days’ prior notice to Borrower, Lender may reassess the amount of the monthly payment required under this Section 3.4 from time to time in its reasonable discretion (based upon its then current underwriting standards).  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Capital Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within fifteen (15) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in minimum amounts of at least $5,000 provided that (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Capital Expense; (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense (with respect to any disbursement in excess of $50,000)) performance of the work associated with such Approved Capital Expense; and (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay or reimburse Borrower for Approved Capital Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used to pay the previously identified Approved Capital Expenses, and (B) lien waivers

23




or other evidence of payment satisfactory to Lender, (C) with respect to any disbursement that exceeds $50,000, 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 (D) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request that the Approved Capital Expenses 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.  Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Capital Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee on such Approved Capital Expenses.

3.4.2  Guaranty in Lieu of Reserve.

(A)  In lieu of a requirement for monthly deposits by Borrower into the Capital Reserve Subaccount, Guarantor, pursuant to the Guaranty, has (among other obligations thereunder) guaranteed payment and performance in full of all Capital Expenses and work relating thereto and agreed to pay to Lender, upon Lender’s demand following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, an amount equal to the Guaranty Limit Amount, determined as the sum of various amounts, including an amount equal to the Capital Reserve Offset Amount (as hereafter defined).  As used herein, “Capital Reserve Offset Amount” shall mean, initially, an amount equal to $236,886 (such initial $236,886 amount is herein referred to as the “Base Capital Amount”), and thereafter on any date of determination, an amount equal to the greater of (I) the Base Capital Amount, and (II) the following:

(1) the product of the Base Capital Amount multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Calendar Quarters which have ended (and for which the reports required under Section 6.3.3 hereof have been delivered or were required to have been delivered) as of the date of determination (a “Calendar Quarter” shall be the three calendar month period ending on June 30, 2006 and each three calendar month period ending on each September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30 thereafter), and the denominator of which is four (4); for example, a calculation made August 10, 2007 would be for the 5 Calendar Quarters ending June 30, 2006, September 30, 2006, December 31, 2006, March 31, 2007 and June 30, 2007, and thus $236,886 X [5/4] = $296,107.50); minus

(2) the Aggregate Approved Capital Costs (as hereafter defined) for such Calendar Quarters;

As used herein, the term  “Aggregate Approved Capital Costs” shall mean amounts hereafter paid by Borrower for reasonable Approved Capital Expenses (other than those for which a credit has been provided against the purchase price under the purchase agreement pursuant to which the constituent owners of Borrower acquired the indirect interests in Borrower as of the date hereof), as demonstrated by Borrower to Lender reasonable satisfaction.

(B) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and without limiting any rights or remedies available to Lender in connection therewith), Borrower shall on each Payment Date thereafter deposit with Lender the Monthly Capital Reserve Deposit Amount.  If Lender receives the Capital Reserve Offset Amount from Guarantor under the Guaranty, Lender shall transfer the same to the

24




Capital Reserve Subaccount to be applied as provided in Section 3.4.1 above, subject to Lender’s right to apply the same otherwise as set forth in Section 3.10 below.

                3.5  Rollover Reserves.  (a)  Borrower shall pay to Lender $10,000,000 on the date hereof.  Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “Rollover Reserve Subaccount”).  In lieu of a requirement hereunder for an additional $10,000,000 to be deposited into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount, Guarantor, pursuant to the Guaranty, has (among other obligations thereunder) guaranteed payment and performance in full of all Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to Leases hereafter executed and all work relating thereto and agreed to pay to Lender, upon Lender’s demand following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, an amount equal to the Guaranty Limit Amount, determined as the sum of various amounts, including an amount equal to $10,000,000 (subject to reduction as provided below, the “Rollover Reserve Offset Amount”).  Borrower shall also pay to Lender for transfer into the Rollover Reserve Subaccount all Lease Termination Payments received by Borrower.  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in minimum amounts of at least $5,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for Approved Leasing Expenses with respect to Leases hereafter executed (it being acknowledged that leasing costs with respect to Leases existing as of the date hereof shall not qualify for disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount); (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrower’s expense) performance of any construction work associated with such Approved Leasing Expenses; (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) Approved Leasing Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) the previously identified Approved Leasing Expenses, and with respect to the first $10,000,000 in disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount (each disbursement thereof in an amount equal to 50% of the related Approved Leasing Expenses), the remaining 50% portion of such Approved Leasing Expenses not paid from such previous disbursements has also been paid, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor; and (iv) the first $10,000,000 in aggregate disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount for (x) Approved Leasing Expenses pursuant to this Section 3.5(a) or (y) on account of Rollover Rent Abatements pursuant to Section 3.5(b) below shall be made in an amount equal to 50% of such Approved Leasing Expenses for which the provisions of the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) are satisfied, and upon each such 50% disbursement and payment of 100% of the related Approved Leasing Expenses or expiration of the related Rollover Rent Abatement Periods to which such disbursement relates (as evidenced to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction), the Rollover Reserve Offset Amount shall reduce dollar for dollar in the amount of such disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount until the Rollover Reserve Offset Amount reduces to zero, with a corresponding dollar for dollar reduction of the Guaranty Limit Amount.  For example, if disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount on account of Approved Leasing Expenses are $5,000,000 (on account of $10,000,000 in Approved Leasing Expenses qualifying under clause (i)-(iii) of the

25




foregoing provision), and disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount on account of Rollover Rent Abatements are $500,000 (on account of Rollover Rent Abatement Periods expiring with respect to $1,000,000 in Rollover Rent Abatements), the Rollover Reserve Offset Amount shall, upon payment of 100% of the related Approved Leasing Expenses or expiration of the related Rollover Rent Abatement Periods to which such disbursements relate (as evidenced to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction), decrease by $5,500,000, with a resulting Rollover Reserve Offset Amount of $4,500,000.  Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) Approved Leasing Expenses may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrower and the payee of such Approved Leasing Expenses.  If Lender receives the Rollover Reserve Offset Amount from Guarantor under the Guaranty, Lender shall transfer the same to the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to be applied as provided in this Section 3.5, subject to Lender’s right to apply the same otherwise as set forth in Section 3.10 below.

(b)          Provided no Event of Default exists, funds shall be disbursed from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to the Deposit Account (for application in the same manner as rents transferred from the Clearing Account to the Deposit Account) as Rollover Rent Abatement Periods expire with respect to any applicable Leases, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in minimum amounts of at least $5,000, provided: (i) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds are for a Rollover Rent Abatement for a Rollover Rent Abatement Period that has expired pursuant to the applicable Lease to which it relates, and (2) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount thereof; (ii) the amount disbursed in any instance shall (subject to clause (iii) below) be an amount equal to 50% of the applicable Rollover Rent Abatement with respect to the applicable Lease for the Rollover Rent Abatement Period that has expired under such Lease; and (iii) the total amount that shall be disbursed from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount pursuant to this Section 3.5(b) shall in no event exceed an aggregate total of $1,500,000 (on account of Rollover Rent Abatement Periods expiring with respect to $3,000,000 in Rollover Rent Abatements).  For example, if a Lease has a Rollover Rent Abatement of $50,000 per month for 20 months after the date hereof, the amount to be disbursed from the Rollover Reserve Subaccount to the Deposit Account on account of such Lease would be $25,000 per month for 20 months, resulting in a corresponding $25,000 per month dollar for dollar decrease in the Rollover Reserve Offset Amount.

                3.6  Operating Expense Subaccount.  On each Payment Date during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, a portion of the Rents that have been deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period in an amount equal to the monthly amount set forth in the Approved Operating Budget for the following month (plus any other amounts requested by Borrower for such month for payment of items constituting Approved Operating Expenses, which are not included in the Approved Operating Budget), shall be transferred into a Subaccount for the purpose of payment of Approved Operating Expenses for the month in which such Payment Date occurs (the “Operating Expense Subaccount”).  Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the Operating Expense Subaccount to Borrower (or at Borrower’s direction, to the Manager), within five (5) Business Days after delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than weekly), in minimum amounts of at least $1,000, provided (i) such disbursement is for an Approved Operating Expense; and (ii) such disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s

26




Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used to pay Approved Operating Expenses and a description thereof, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (4) that all previous disbursements have been or will be used to pay the previously identified Approved Operating Expenses, and (B) reasonably detailed documentation satisfactory to Lender as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent that (i) Borrower has requested a disbursement of funds from the Operating Expense Subaccount in accordance with the foregoing provisions and (ii) at the time of such request, the funds that have been collected in the Operating Expense Subaccount are insufficient to cover the same, then Lender shall nonetheless disburse additional funds that are thereafter deposited into the Operating Expense Subaccount to Borrower (without any requirement for Borrower to submit an additional request therefor); provided that sufficient funds have been collected in the Deposit Account to make the payments required under clauses (i) - (v) of Section 3.11(a) on the next succeeding Payment Date.

                3.7  Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount.  Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Lender all Proceeds or Awards due to any Casualty or Condemnation to be transferred to a Subaccount (the “Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount”) in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof.  All amounts in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount shall disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 hereof.

                3.8  Security Deposits.  Borrower shall keep all security deposits under Leases in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s request, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, turn over to Lender the security deposits (and any interest theretofore earned thereon) under Leases, to be held by Lender in a Subaccount (the “Security Deposit Subaccount”) subject to the terms of the Leases.  Security deposits held in the Security Deposit Subaccount will be released by Lender upon notice from Borrower together with such evidence as Lender may reasonably request that such security deposit is required to be returned to a tenant pursuant to the terms of a Lease or may be applied as Rent pursuant to the rights of Borrower under the applicable Lease.  Any letter of credit or other instrument that Borrower receives in lieu of a cash security deposit under any Lease shall (i) be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount unless replaced by a cash deposit as hereinabove described and (ii) if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements, name Lender as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Lender’s option, be fully assignable to Lender).

                3.9  Cash Collateral Subaccount.  If a Cash Trap Period shall have commenced then on the immediately succeeding Payment Date and on each Payment Date thereafter during the continuance of such Cash Trap Period, all Available Cash shall be paid to Lender, which amounts shall be transferred by Lender into a Subaccount (the “Cash Collateral Subaccount”) as cash collateral for the Debt.  Any funds in the Cash Collateral Subaccount and not previously disbursed or applied shall be disbursed to Borrower upon the termination of such Cash Trap Period.  Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time during the continuance of a monetary Event of Default or material non-monetary Event of Default, in its sole and absolute discretion to apply all sums then on deposit in the Cash Collateral Subaccount to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including

27




(if the Loan has been accelerated) to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time, to disburse funds deposited into the Cash Collateral Subaccount to Borrower for application to Approved Leasing Expenses or capital expenditures approved by Lender, subject to such terms and conditions as Lender may require.

                3.10  Grant of Security Interest; Application of Funds.  As security for payment of the Debt and the performance by Borrower of all other terms, conditions and provisions of the Loan Documents, Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to Lender, and grants to Lender a security interest in, all Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents and in and to all payments to or monies held in the Clearing Account, the Deposit Account, all Subaccounts created pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Cash Management Accounts”).  Borrower hereby grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, and agrees to hold in trust for the benefit of Lender, all Rents in its possession prior to the (i) payment of such Rents to Lender or (ii) deposit of such Rents into the Deposit Account.  Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Cash Management Account, or permit any Lien to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any UCC Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.  This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply any sums in any Cash Management Account in any order and in any manner as Lender shall elect in Lender’s discretion without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents, provided that Lender will not apply any such sums to prepayment of Principal unless it has accelerated the Loan.  Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.  All interest which accrues on the funds in any Cash Management Account (other than the Tax and Insurance Subaccount) shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued.  Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Subaccounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrower.

                3.11  Property Cash Flow Allocation.

(a)  All Rents deposited into the Deposit Account during the immediately preceding Interest Period shall be applied on each Payment Date as follows in the following order of priority:

(i)  First, to make payments into the Tax and Insurance Subaccount if and as required (and only if and as required) under Section 3.3 hereof;

(ii)  Second, to pay the monthly portion of the fees charged by the Deposit Bank in accordance with the Deposit Account Agreement;

28




(iii)  Third, to Lender to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount or the Monthly Interest Payment Amount, as the case may be, due on such Payment Date (plus, if applicable, interest at the Default Rate and all other amounts, other than those described under other clauses of this Section 3.11(a), then due to Lender under the Loan Documents);

(iv)  Fourth, to make payments into the Capital Reserve Subaccount if and as required (and only if and as required) under Section 3.4 hereof;

(v)  Fifth, during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, to make payments for Approved Operating Expenses as required under Section 3.6 hereof;

(vi)  Sixth, during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, to make payments in an amount equal to all remaining Available Cash on such Payment Date into the Cash Collateral Subaccount in accordance with Section 3.9 hereof; and

(vii)  Lastly, provided that no Cash Trap Period is then continuing, payments to Borrower of any remaining amounts.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except during the continuance of a Cash Trap Period, provided that in any given Interest Period, all amounts referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) - (iv) have been paid, then at Borrower’s request, the payments to Borrower under the foregoing clause (vii) shall be made on a weekly basis.

(b)  The failure of Borrower to make all of the payments required under clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 3.11(a) above in full on each Payment Date shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement; provided, however, if adequate funds are available in the Deposit Account for such payments, the failure by the Deposit Bank to allocate such funds into the appropriate Subaccounts shall not constitute an Event of Default.
(c)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.11, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all Rents deposited into the Deposit Account and other proceeds of repayment in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect.

3.12  Intentionally Omitted.

3.13  TI/LC Holdback Reserve.  Attached hereto as Schedule 8 is a schedule of certain tenant improvement costs and expenses required to be incurred by Borrower in completing or reimbursing the tenants specified in Schedule 8 (the “TI/LC Holdback Tenants”) for tenant improvements and/or paying leasing commissions specified in Schedule 8 as the same are incurred or become due under the related Leases specified on Schedule 8 (the “TI/LC Holdback Leases”), in each case allocated among such leases as set forth on Schedule 8, in a total amount aggregating to $5,947,407.07.  On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay to Lender $5,947,407.07.  Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “TI/LC  Holdback Reserve Subaccount”).  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse funds held in the TI/LC Holdback Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within 15 days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in minimum amounts of at least $5,000, provided (i) such request includes an

29




estoppel from the related TI/LC Holdback Tenant certifying that all construction to be performed and all improvements to be installed under the related TI/LC Holdback Lease have been completed and fully accepted by the related TI/LC Holdback Tenant, and that there are no defaults under such lease (nor does there exist any event or condition, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, could result in such a default); (ii) Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrowers’ expense) performance of any construction work associated with such tenant improvements; (iii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate certifying (1) that such funds will be used only to pay (or reimburse Borrower for) tenant improvements and/or leasing commissions under the related TI/LC Holdback Lease, (2) that all outstanding trade payables (other than those not yet due and payable or those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full, and (3) that the same has not been the subject of a previous disbursement, and (B) reasonably detailed supporting documentation as to the amount, necessity and purpose therefor; and (iv) the total amount of disbursements from the TI/LC Holdback Reserve Subaccount on account of a given TI/LC Holdback Lease shall not aggregate in excess of the amount for such TI/LC Holdback Lease indicated on Schedule 8.  Any such disbursement of more than $10,000 to pay (rather than reimburse) tenant improvements under this Section may, at Lender’s option, be made by joint check payable to Borrowers and the payee of such tenant improvements or leasing commissions, as applicable.

3.14  Initial Deposits into Reserves.  The initial deposits required to be made on the date hereof into the reserve accounts established under this Article 3 are funded from the proceeds of the Loan disbursed at closing.

3.15  Letters of Credit in Lieu of Reserves.

(A)  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Sections 3.5 and 3.13 pertaining to the requirement for the undisbursed balance of cash reserves provided hereunder to be held in the TI/LC Holdback Reserve Subaccount and/or the Rollover Reserve Subaccount (collectively, the “Reserve Subaccounts”), provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall have the right to deliver to Lender, in substitution of any then undisbursed balance in such Reserve Subaccounts, an Acceptable Letter of Credit in favor of Lender in an aggregate principal amount equal to all or a designated portion (of not less than $2,000,000, with the Reserve Subaccount(s) to which such portion pertains to be designated by the Borrower at the time such letter of credit is provided) of the undisbursed balance of such Reserve Subaccounts providing that the Lender or its successors and assigns may draw the full amount thereof at any time upon demand (and subject to no other drawing requirements or conditions) and otherwise in form and content satisfactory to Lender (each any every such letter of credit collectively the “Reserve Letter of Credit; the term Reserve Letter of Credit, as used herein, shall mean each initial Reserve Letter of Credit and any replacement or renewal letters of credit, and collectively all Reserve Letters of Credit).  Upon provision of such Reserve Letter of Credit, the funds held in the Reserve Subaccount(s) for which such Reserve Letter of Credit is provided as a substitute shall be disbursed to Borrower in the amount of such Reserve Letter of Credit.  Subject to the provisions of this Section, Lender shall retain custody of each Reserve Letter of Credit until such time as the Loan is repaid in full.

30




(B)  If Borrower shall have provided a Reserve Letter of Credit in lieu of a cash reserve required hereunder, then provided no Event of Default exists Borrower may obtain a return of such Reserve Letter of Credit by depositing with Lender substitute cash reserves in the amount of such Reserve Letter of Credit, which cash reserve amounts shall be deposited and held in the applicable Subaccount(s) for the reserve(s) for which such Reserve Letter of Credit was provided, and applied in accordance with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents pertaining to such reserve(s).

(C)  if Borrower shall have provided any Reserve Letter of Credit in accordance with this Section 3.15 and provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the amount of the Reserve Letter of Credit shall be reduced from time to time, upon Borrower’s written request to Lender, by an amount equal to not more than the amount that Borrower would have been entitled to have disbursed to it from the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) if cash reserves had continued to be held therein rather than such Reserve Letter of Credit substituted therefor, and provided further, that: (1) such requests may be made not more frequently than once per month; (2) without limiting any other requirement hereunder, the amount of any reduction shall be in increments of $100,000 or any whole multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof; (3) all requirements of Section 3.5 and/or 3.13, as applicable, shall have been satisfied as if cash reserves were then held in the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) rather than such Reserve Letter of Credit substituted therefor and Borrower were requesting a disbursement of funds from the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) in an amount equal to the requested reduction in the amount of such Reserve Letter of Credit.  If the amount of the Reserve Letter of Credit is reduced, Lender will cooperate with Borrower in amending or replacing the Reserve Letter of Credit to reflect such reduced amount of the Reserve Letter of Credit.  Borrower shall pay any fees or other amounts charged by any issuing bank with respect to any such request and shall promptly pay to Lender all costs and expenses of Lender incurred in connection with any such request, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(D)  Lender shall have the right to draw upon each Reserve Letter of Credit in the full amount thereof upon the occurrence of any of the following: (1) any Event of Default; or (2) Lender receives a notice stating that the Reserve Letter of Credit will not be renewed (as provided for in such Reserve Letter of Credit) and a replacement for such Reserve Letter of Credit conforming with the requirements of an Acceptable Letter of Credit shall not have been provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the applicable Reserve Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire or such Reserve Letter of Credit is to expire within thirty (30) days and an extension or renewal of such Reserve Letter of Credit conforming with the requirements of an Acceptable Letter of Credit shall not have been provided.  The proceeds of any draw under the Reserve Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 3.15(D)(1) above shall be allocated to the Debt, in such order and in such manner as Lender shall elect in its sole and absolute discretion, including (if the Loan has been accelerated) to make a prepayment of Principal (together with the applicable Yield Maintenance Premium applicable thereto).  The proceeds of any draw under the Reserve Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 3.15(D)(2) above shall be deposited by Lender into the applicable Reserve Subaccount(s) and shall be governed by the provisions of Section 3.5 and/or 3.13, as applicable, as well as the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Borrower shall pay any fees or other amounts charged by any issuing bank with respect to any such draw and shall promptly pay to Lender all costs and expenses of

31




Lender incurred in connection with any such draw, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

3.16  DSCR Earnout Reserve.

Borrower shall pay to Lender $10,000,000 on the date hereof.  Lender will transfer such amount into a Subaccount (the “DSCR Earnout Reserve Subaccount”).  Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Lender shall disburse all funds held in the DSCR Earnout Reserve Subaccount to Borrower, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrower to Lender of a written request therefor, provided that Lender shall have received evidence reasonably acceptable to Lender that sufficient new Leases shall have been entered into with tenants having taken occupancy and commenced paying rent under their respective Leases with all associated tenant improvement costs and allowances and leasing commissions paid, to result in a Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to 1.20:1.00 or greater; provided, however, that in calculating the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for purposes of this Section only, the calculation as otherwise reflected in the definition of Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be adjusted by (a) taking into account in the measurement of Net Operating Income (i) base rents and recoveries on such additional Leases and other Leases then in place, on an annualized basis, rather than rental revenues for the past twelve month period, (ii) an adjustment for a leasing costs and capital items in an aggregate amount equal to one dollar ($1.00) per square foot, (iii) a market vacancy adjustment not to exceed ten percent (10%), and (iv) an adjustment to expenses to reflect any increases in annualized expenses resulting from such new Leases, and (b) using an assumed annual Debt Service for the applicable period of calculation equal to $12,324,020.

4.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                4.2  Proceedings; Enforceability.  Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents.  The Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity.  The Loan Documents to which Borrower’s Guarantor and/or Affiliates are a party have been duly executed and delivered by such Guarantor and/or Affiliates that are parties thereto, and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of such Guarantor and/or Affiliates that are parties thereto, enforceable against such

32




Guarantor and/or Affiliates that are parties thereto in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and general principles of equity.  The Loan Documents are not subject to, and Borrower has not asserted, any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury.  No exercise of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or any right thereunder, will render any Loan Document unenforceable.

                4.3  No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by Borrower and the transactions contemplated hereby 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 (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property of Borrower pursuant to the terms of, any agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which its property is subject, nor 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 the Property.  Borrower’s rights under the Licenses and the Management Agreement will not be adversely affected by the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, Borrower’s performance thereunder, or the recordation of the Mortgage.  Any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

                4.4  Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or other proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, the Manager or the Property, which, if adversely determined, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Manager or the condition or ownership of the Property.

                4.5  Agreements.  Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might adversely affect Borrower or the Property, or Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise.  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 Permitted Encumbrance or any other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower or the Property is bound.

                4.6  Title.  Borrower has good, marketable and indefeasible title in fee to the real property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens except the Permitted Encumbrances.  All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the transfer of the Property to Borrower have been paid.  The Mortgage when properly recorded in the appropriate records, together with any UCC financing statements required to be filed in connection therewith and the other Loan Documents, will create (i) a valid, perfected first priority lien on Borrower’s interest in that portion of the Property, the Leases (to the extent not subject to the Uniform Commercial Code) and the Rents constituting interests in real estate or real property interests (including fixtures) and (ii) to the extent that a security interest therein may be created under the Uniform Commercial Code, a valid security interest in that portion of the Property, the Leases  (to the extent subject to the Uniform Commercial Code) and Rents and other collateral for the Loan constituting personal property, which security interest

33




constitutes a perfected first priority security interest (a) to the extent that a security interest therein may be perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement and (b) with respect to the Cash Management Accounts, by virtue of Lender’s control of such Cash Management Accounts, all in accordance with the terms of such Loan Documents, in each case subject only to any applicable Permitted Encumbrances.  All mortgage, recording, stamp, intangible or other similar taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable Legal Requirements in connection with the execution, delivery, recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of the Loan Documents have been (or will, contemporaneously with such recordation or filing, be) paid by Borrower.  The Permitted Encumbrances do not materially adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property, or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan.  No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is contemplated with respect to all or part of the Property or for the relocation of roadways providing access to the Property.  There are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Loan Documents.  There are no outstanding options to purchase or rights of first refusal affecting all or any portion of the Property.  The survey for the Property delivered to Lender does not fail to reflect any material matter affecting the Property or the title thereto.  Except as shown on the survey, all of the Improvements included in determining the appraised value of the Property lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Property, and no improvement on an adjoining property encroaches upon the Property, and no easement or other encumbrance upon the Property encroaches upon any of the Improvements, except those insured against by the Title Insurance Policy.  Each parcel comprising the Property is a separate tax lot and is not a portion of any other tax lot that is not a part of the Property.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, there are no pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting the Property, or any contemplated improvements to the Property that may result in such special or other assessments.

                4.7  No Bankruptcy Filing.  Borrower is not contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency law or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its property (a “Bankruptcy Proceeding”), and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against Borrower.  In addition, neither Borrower nor any principal or Affiliate of Borrower has been a party to, or the subject of a Bankruptcy Proceeding for the past ten (10) years.

                4.8  Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by Borrower in any of the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained therein not misleading.  There is no material fact presently known to Borrower that has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, or, as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.  All financial data, including the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Property (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii) accurately represent the financial condition of  Borrower and the Property as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to the extent prepared by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein.  Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments, unrealized or

34




anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments or any liabilities or obligations not expressly permitted by this Agreement.  Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no materially adverse change in the financial condition, operations or business of Borrower or the Property from that set forth in said financial statements.

                4.9  Tax FilingsTo the extent required, Borrower has filed (or has obtained effective extensions for filing) all federal, state and local tax returns required to be filed and have paid or made adequate provision for the payment of all federal, state and local taxes, charges and assessments payable by Borrower.  Borrower believes that its tax returns (if any) properly reflect the income and taxes of Borrower for the periods covered thereby, subject only to reasonable adjustments required by the Internal Revenue Service or other applicable tax authority upon audit.

                4.10  ERISA; No Plan AssetsAs of the date hereof and throughout the Term (i) Borrower is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.  Section 2510.3-101, (iii) Borrower is not and will not be a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA, and (iv) transactions by or with Borrower are not and will not be subject to state statutes regulating investment of, and fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans.  As of the date hereof, neither Borrower, nor any member of a “controlled group of corporations” (within the meaning of Section 414 of the Code) maintains, sponsors or contributes to a “defined benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(35) of ERISA) or a “multiemployer pension plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(37)(A) of ERISA).

                4.11  Compliance.  Borrower and, to Borrower’s best knowledge, the Property and the use thereof comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements (including with respect to parking and applicable zoning and land use laws, regulations and ordinances).  Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority, the violation of which might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower.  The Property is used exclusively as an office building property and other appurtenant and related uses.  In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits.  No legal proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened with respect to the zoning of the Property.  Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property.  All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including certificates of completion and occupancy permits required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Property (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect.  The use being made of the Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for the Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting the Property.

                4.12  Contracts.  There are no service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property that are not terminable on one (1) month’s notice or less without cause and without penalty or premium.  All service, maintenance or repair contracts affecting the Property have

35




been entered into at arms-length in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business (or that of its predecessor in interest) and provide for the payment of fees in amounts and upon terms comparable to existing market rates.

                4.13  Federal Reserve Regulations; Investment Company Act.  No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose that would be inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other regulation of such Board of Governors, or for any purpose prohibited by Legal Requirements or any Loan Document.  Borrower is not (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; (ii) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an “affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended; or (iii) subject to any other federal or state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

                4.14  Easements; Utilities and Public Access.  All easements, cross easements, licenses, air rights and rights-of-way or other similar property interests (collectively, “Easements”), if any, necessary for the full utilization of the Improvements for their intended purposes have been obtained, are described in the Title Insurance Policy and are in full force and effect without default thereunder.  The Property has rights of access to public ways and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service it for its intended uses.  All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and enjoyment of the Property are located in the public right-of-way abutting the Property, and all such utilities are connected so as to serve the Property without passing over other property absent a valid easement.  All roads necessary for the use of the Property for its current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all Governmental Authorities.

                4.15  Physical Condition.  Other than the Required Repairs, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Property, including all Improvements, parking facilities, systems, Equipment and landscaping, are in good condition, order and repair in all material respects; to Borrower’s knowledge, there exists no structural or other material defect or damages to the Property, whether latent or otherwise.  Borrower has not received notice from any insurance company or bonding company of any defect or inadequacy in the Property, or any part thereof, which would adversely affect its insurability or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or charges thereon or any termination of any policy of insurance or bond.  No portion of the Property is located in an area as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as an area having special flood hazards.  The Improvements have suffered no material casualty or damage which has not been fully repaired and the cost thereof fully paid.

                4.16  Leases.  The rent roll attached hereto as Schedule 3 (the “Rent Roll”) is true, complete and correct and the Property is not subject to any Leases other than the Leases described in the Rent Roll.  Except as set forth on the Rent Roll or tenant estoppel certificates delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof: (i) each Lease is in full force and effect; (ii) the tenants under the Leases have accepted possession of and are in occupancy of all of their respective demised premises, have commenced the payment of rent under the Leases, and there are no offsets, claims or defenses to the enforcement thereof; (iii) all rents due and payable under

36




the Leases have been paid and no portion thereof has been paid for any period more than thirty (30) days in advance; (iv) the rent payable under each Lease is the amount of fixed rent set forth in the Rent Roll, and there is no claim or basis for a claim by the tenant thereunder for an adjustment to the rent; (v) to Borrower’s best knowledge, no tenant has made any claim against the landlord under any Lease which remains outstanding, there are no defaults on the part of the landlord under any Lease, and no event has occurred which, with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute such a default; (vi) to Borrower’s best knowledge, there is no present material default by the tenant under any Lease; (vii) all security deposits under Leases are as set forth on the Rent Roll and are held consistent with Section 3.8 hereof; (viii) Borrower is the sole owner of the entire lessor’s interest in each Lease; (ix) each Lease is the valid, binding and enforceable obligation of the Borrower and the applicable tenant thereunder; (x) to Borrower’s best knowledge, no Person has any possessory interest in, or right to occupy, the Property except under the terms of the Lease; and (xi) each Lease is subordinate to the Loan Documents, either pursuant to its terms or pursuant to a subordination and attornment agreement.  None of the Leases contains any option to purchase or right of first refusal to purchase the Property or any part thereof.  Neither the Leases nor the Rents have been assigned or pledged except to Lender, and no other Person has any interest therein except the tenants thereunder.

                4.17  Fraudulent Transfer.  Borrower has not entered into the Loan or any Loan Document with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and Borrower has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents.  Giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, exceed Borrower’s total probable liabilities, including subordinated, unliquidated, disputed or contingent liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities or its debts as such debts become absolute and matured.  Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.  Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts to be payable on or in respect of obligations of Borrower).

                4.18  Ownership of Borrower.  The sole member of Borrower is 222 South Riverside Property LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Borrower Member”).  The sole member of Borrower Member is Behringer Harvard Riverside Holding Business Trust, a Maryland business trust (“Riverside Holding”).  The sole owner of 100% of the equity interests in Riverside Holding is the Harvard REIT Operating Partnership.  The only partners of the Harvard REIT Operating Partnership are (i) the Behringer Harvard REIT (0.1% general partner), (ii) BHR Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (in excess of 99% limited partner), which is 100% owned by the Behringer Harvard REIT, and (iii) certain other individual holders of equity interests (less than 1% limited partners in the aggregate).  The foregoing membership interests in Borrower and Borrower Member, the equity interests in Riverside Holding, the general partnership interests in Harvard REIT Operating Partnership, and the limited partnership interests of BHR Partners, LLC in Harvard REIT Operating Partnership, are all owned free and clear of all Liens, warrants, options and rights to purchase.  Borrower has no obligation to any Person to purchase, repurchase or issue any ownership interest in it.  The organizational chart attached

37




hereto as Schedule 4 is complete and accurate and illustrates all Persons who have a direct or indirect ownership interest in Borrower.

                4.19  Purchase OptionsNeither the Property nor any part thereof is subject to any purchase options or other similar rights in favor of third parties.

                4.20  Management Agreement.  The Management Agreement is in full force and effect.  There is no default, breach or violation existing thereunder, and no event has occurred (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a default, breach or violation thereunder, by either party thereto.  Pursuant to the Management Agreement, Borrower has appointed the Manager as its agent for (i) hiring, terminating (subject to the provisions thereof), overseeing and otherwise dealing with any sub-property manager for the Property, (ii) otherwise overseeing the operation and management of the Property, and (iii) making decisions and otherwise interacting and dealing with Lender with respect to the Loan, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Property.  Additionally, subject to the provisions of Section 3.1 hereof, the Clearing Account Agreement and the Deposit Account Agreement, the Manager has control of all operating and other bank accounts with respect to the Property.

                4.21  Hazardous Substances.  Except as disclosed in the environmental assessment report delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, (i) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, the Property is not in violation of any Legal Requirement pertaining to or imposing liability or standards of conduct concerning environmental regulation, contamination or clean-up, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986, the Hazardous Substances Transportation Act, the Solid Waste Disposal Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air Act, the Toxic Substance Control Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, any state super-lien and environmental clean-up statutes (including with respect to Toxic Mold), any local law requiring related permits and licenses and all amendments to and regulations in respect of the foregoing laws (collectively, “Environmental Laws”); (ii) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, the Property is not subject to any private or governmental Lien or judicial or administrative notice or action or inquiry, investigation or claim relating to hazardous, toxic and/or dangerous substances, toxic mold or fungus of a type that may pose a risk to human health or the environment or would negatively impact the value of the Property (“Toxic Mold”) or any other substances or materials which are included under or regulated by Environmental Laws (collectively, “Hazardous Substances”); (iii) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Hazardous Substances are or have been (including the period prior to Borrower’s acquisition of the Property), discharged, generated, treated, disposed of or stored on, incorporated in, or removed or transported from the Property other than in compliance with all Environmental Laws; (iv) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Hazardous Substances are present in, on or under any nearby real property which could migrate to or otherwise affect the Property; (v) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no Toxic Mold is on or about the Property which requires remediation; and (vi) to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no underground storage tanks exist on the Property and the Property has never been used as a landfill.  To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, after due

                4.22  Name; Principal Place of Business.  Borrower has not used, does not use and will not use any trade name, nor has Borrower done, or will in the future do, business under any name, other than its actual name set forth herein and the trade name of the Property.  The principal place of business of Borrower is its primary address for notices as set forth in Section 6.1 hereof, and Borrower has no other place of business.

                4.23  Other Debt.  There is no indebtedness with respect to the Property or any excess cash flow or any residual interest therein, whether secured or unsecured, other than Permitted Encumbrances and Permitted Indebtedness.

Borrower shall permit Lender to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal or administrative proceedings or other actions initiated with respect to the Property in connection with any Environmental Law or

42




Hazardous Substance, and Borrower shall pay all reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection therewith.
(b)   Upon Lender’s request, at any time and from time to time, Borrower shall provide an inspection or audit of the Property prepared by a licensed hydrogeologist, licensed environmental engineer or qualified environmental consulting firm approved by Lender assessing the presence or absence of Hazardous Substances on, in or near the Property, and if Lender in its good faith judgment determines that reasonable cause exists for the performance of such environmental inspection or audit, then the cost and expense of such audit or inspection shall be paid by Borrower. Such inspections and audit may include soil borings and ground water monitoring. If Borrower fails to provide any such inspection or audit within thirty (30) days after such request, Lender may order same, and Borrower hereby grants to Lender and its employees and agents access to the Property and a license to undertake such inspection or audit.
(c)   If any environmental site assessment report prepared in connection with such inspection or audit recommends that an operations and maintenance plan be implemented for any Hazardous Substance, whether such Hazardous Substance existed prior to the ownership of the Property by Borrower, or presently exists or is reasonably suspected of existing, Borrower shall cause such operations and maintenance plan to be prepared and implemented at its expense upon request of Lender, and with respect to any Toxic Mold, Borrower shall take all action necessary to clean and disinfect any portions of the Improvements affected by Toxic Mold in or about the Improvements, including providing any necessary moisture control systems at the Property. If any investigation, site monitoring, containment, cleanup, removal, restoration or other work of any kind is reasonably necessary under an applicable Environmental Law (“Remedial Work”), Borrower shall commence all such Remedial Work within thirty (30) days after written demand by Lender and thereafter diligently prosecute to completion all such Remedial Work within such period of time as may be required under applicable law. All Remedial Work shall be performed by licensed contractors approved in advance by Lender and under the supervision of a consulting engineer approved by Lender. All costs of such Remedial Work shall be paid by Borrower, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the monitoring or review of such Remedial Work. If Borrower does not timely commence and diligently prosecute to completion the Remedial Work, Lender may (but shall not be obligated to) cause such Remedial Work to be performed at Borrower’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to commence such Remedial Work within the above specified time period: (x) if prevented from doing so by any Governmental Authority, (y) if commencing such Remedial Work within such time period would result in Borrower or such Remedial Work violating any Environmental Law, or (z) if Borrower, at its expense and after prior written notice to Lender, is contesting by appropriate legal, administrative or other proceedings, conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the need to perform Remedial Work. Borrower shall have the right to contest the need to perform such Remedial Work, provided that, (1) Borrower is permitted by the applicable Environmental Laws to delay performance of the Remedial Work pending such proceedings, (2) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be sold, forfeited or lost if Borrower fails to promptly perform the Remedial Work being contested, and if Borrower fails to prevail in contest, Borrower would thereafter have the opportunity to perform such Remedial Work, (3) Lender would not, by virtue of such permitted contest, be exposed to any risk of any civil liability for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, or to any risk of criminal liability,

43




and neither the Property nor any interest therein would be subject to the imposition of any Lien for which Borrower has not furnished additional security as provided in clause (4) below, as a result of the failure to perform such Remedial Work and (4) Borrower shall have furnished to Lender additional security in respect of the Remedial Work being contested and the loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest in such amount as may be reasonably requested by Lender but in no event less than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the cost of such Remedial Work as estimated by Lender or Lender’s Consultant and any loss or damage that may result from Borrower’s failure to prevail in such contest, which amount shall periodically be disbursed to Borrower during the course of such Remedial Work in accordance with those procedures and requirements that Lender may determine are reasonably necessary in connection therewith. Upon completion of the Remedial Work, any unused portion of any security deposited with Lender pursuant to this Section 5.8.2 shall promptly be released to Borrower.
(d)   Borrower shall not install or permit to be installed on the Property any underground storage tank.

5.9          Title to the Property. Borrower will warrant and defend the title to the Property, and the validity and priority of all Liens granted or otherwise given to Lender under the Loan Documents, subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, against the claims of all Persons.

5.10        Leases.

5.10.1     Generally. Upon request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases then in effect (other than Leases that have previously been furnished to Lender). All renewals of Leases and all proposed leases shall provide for rental rates and terms comparable to existing local market rates and shall be arm’s length transactions with bona fide, independent third-party tenants.

5.10.2     Material Leases. Borrower shall not enter into a proposed Material Lease or a proposed renewal, extension (other than a renewal or extension that is being unilaterally exercised by a tenant pursuant to the terms of an existing Lease, with respect to which Lender shall not have any consent rights) or modification of an existing Material Lease without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, be  unreasonably withheld or delayed. Prior to seeking Lender’s consent to any Material Lease, Borrower shall deliver to Lender a copy of such proposed lease (a “Proposed Material Lease”) and, if such Proposed Material Lease is based on the standard form of Lease approved by Lender, blacklined to show changes from the standard form of Lease approved by Lender and then being used by Borrower. Lender shall approve or disapprove each Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease for which Lender’s approval is required under this Agreement within ten (10) Business Days of the submission by Borrower to Lender of a written request for such approval, accompanied by a final copy of the Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. If requested by Borrower, Lender will grant conditional approvals of Proposed Material Leases or proposed renewals, extensions or modifications of existing Material Leases at any stage of the leasing process, from initial “term sheet” through negotiated lease drafts, provided that Lender shall retain the right to disapprove any such Proposed Material Lease or proposed

44




renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease, if subsequent to any preliminary approval material changes are made to the terms previously approved by Lender, or additional material terms are added that had not previously been considered and approved by Lender in connection with such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. Provided that no Event of Default is continuing, if Borrower provides Lender with a written request for approval (which written request shall specifically refer to this Section 5.10.2 and shall explicitly state that failure by Lender to approve or disapprove within ten (10) Business Days will constitute a deemed approval) and Lender fails to reject the request in writing delivered to Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Lender of the request, the Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease shall be deemed approved by Lender, and Borrower shall be entitled to enter into such Proposed Material Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Material Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.10, unless expressly agreed to in writing by Lender, any approval or deemed approval by Lender of a proposed Lease or proposed renewal, extension or modification of an existing Lease pursuant to this Section 5.10 shall not be deemed to constitute (in and of itself) an approval or deemed approval by Lender of any Approved Leasing Expenses in connection therewith.

5.10.3     Minor Leases. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.10.2 above, provided that no Event of Default is continuing, renewals, amendments and modifications of existing Leases and proposed Leases, shall not be subject to the prior approval of Lender provided (i) the proposed Lease would be a Minor Lease or the existing Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease is a Minor Lease, (ii) the proposed Lease shall be written substantially in accordance with the standard form of Lease which shall have been approved by Lender, (iii) the Lease as amended or modified or the renewal Lease or series of Leases or proposed Lease or series of Leases: (a) shall provide for net effective rental rates comparable to existing local market rates for similarly situated properties, (b) with respect to any new Lease with a new tenant (other than kiosks and vending machines), shall have an initial term (together with all renewal options) of not less than three (3) years or greater than ten (10) years, (c) shall provide for automatic self-operative subordination to the Mortgage and, at Lender’s option, (x) attornment to Lender and (y) the unilateral right by Lender, at the option of Lender, to subordinate the Lien of the Mortgage to the Lease, and (d) shall not contain any option to purchase, any right of first refusal to purchase, any right to terminate (except in the event of the destruction or condemnation of substantially all of the Property), any requirement for a non-disturbance or recognition agreement, or any other provision which might adversely affect the rights of Lender under the Loan Documents in any material respect. Borrower shall deliver to Lender copies of all Leases which are entered into pursuant to the preceding sentence together with Borrower’s certification that it has satisfied all of the conditions of the preceding sentence within ten (10) days after the execution of the Lease. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.10 to the contrary, at Borrower’s request and at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, Lender shall enter into a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement on Lender’s then current form with any tenant under a Lease of at least 2,500 rentable square feet.

5.10.4     Additional Covenants with respect to Leases. Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt;  (ii) shall

45




promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default that Borrower shall send or receive under any Lease; (iii) shall enforce, in accordance with commercially reasonable practices for properties similar to the Property, the terms, covenants and conditions in the Leases to be observed or performed by the lessees, short of termination thereof; (iv)  shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (v) shall not execute any other assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (vi) shall not modify any Lease in a manner inconsistent with the Loan Documents; (vii) shall not convey or transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of the Property so as to effect a merger of the estates and rights of, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, lessees under Leases; (viii) shall not consent to any assignment of or subletting under any Material Lease unless required in accordance with its terms without the prior written consent of Lender, which, with respect to a subletting, may not, so long as no Event of Default is continuing,  be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and  (ix) shall not cancel or terminate any Lease or accept a surrender thereof (except in the exercise of Borrower’s commercially reasonable judgment in connection with a tenant default under a Minor Lease or as expressly permitted under the terms of such Lease in accordance with Section 5.10.3(d)) without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

5.11        Estoppel Statement. After request by Lender, Borrower shall within ten (10) days furnish Lender with a statement addressed to Lender, its successors and assigns, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth (i) the unpaid Principal, (ii) the Interest Rate, (iii) the date installments of interest and/or Principal were last paid, (iv) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the Debt, and (v) that the Loan Documents are valid, legal and binding obligations and have not been modified or if modified, giving particulars of such modification.

5.12        Property Management.

5.12.1     Management Agreement. Borrower shall (i) cause the Property to be managed pursuant to the Management Agreement; (ii) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its rights thereunder; (iii) promptly notify Lender of any default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iv) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditure plan, and property improvement plan and any other notice, report and estimate received by Borrower under the Management Agreement; and (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not (a) surrender, terminate, cancel, extend or renew the Management Agreement (other than extensions or renewals pursuant to the express renewal/extension provisions set forth in the Management Agreement on the same terms and conditions set forth therein (as in effect on the date hereof, or as hereafter amended or modified in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement)) or otherwise replace the Manager or enter into any other management agreement (except pursuant to Section 5.12.2 below); (b) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (c) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; (d) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend in any material respect, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management

46




Agreement; (e) suffer or permit the occurrence and continuance of a default beyond any applicable cure period under the Management Agreement (or any successor Management Agreement) if such default permits the Manager to terminate the Management Agreement (or such successor Management Agreement); (f) suffer or permit the ownership, management or control of the Manager to be transferred to a Person other than an Affiliate of Behringer; or (g) engage (or permit any Manager to engage) any submanaging agent or enter into (or permit any Manager to enter into) any submanagement agreement (other than the Subcontract for Management Services dated May 29, 2003 between the current Manager and Trammell Crow Services, Inc., or as otherwise permitted under Section 5.12.2 below), it being acknowledged that any new submanaging agent must be acceptable to Lender (in Lender’s reasonable discretion) and the terms and conditions of any new submanagement agreement must be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and may, if required by Lender, be conditioned on Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such new submanaging agent and new submanagement agreement and a subordination and consent executed by the submanaging agent in the form of that delivered by the current submanaging agent on or about the date hereof or such other form as shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender.

5.12.2     Termination of Manager. If (i) an Event of Default shall be continuing, or (ii) Manager is in default under the Management Agreement, or (iii) upon the gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct of the Manager, Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager with a replacement Manager acceptable to Lender (in Lender’s discretion), on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, which acceptance may, if required by Lender, be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such successor Manager and the successor Management Agreement. Additionally, and without limitation of any of the foregoing, if, as of any two (2) consecutive Calculation Dates, Borrower fails to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.01:1.00, then Borrower shall, if requested by Lender, terminate (or cause the termination of) any submanagement agreement and, in such event, shall either (A) cause the Property to be managed directly by the then-existing prime Manager under the then-existing prime Management Agreement then in place between such Manager and Borrower in accordance with this Agreement (without any replacement submanaging agent being utilized to manage the Property), or (B) replace (or cause the replacement of) the submanaging agent thereunder with a replacement submanaging agent acceptable to Lender (in Lender’s reasonable discretion), on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, which acceptance may, if required by Lender, be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such successor submanaging agent and the successor submanagement agreement (it being acknowledged that in such event Borrower shall be required to take one of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) but that it shall be Borrower’s option which of such actions Borrower shall take). If, at any time, Borrower elects, pursuant to clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, to cause the Property to be managed directly by the then-existing prime Manager without any replacement submanaging agent, then, if Borrower continues to fail to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.01:1.00 as of the next Calculation Date (or if Borrower does achieve a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.01:1.00 as of the next Calculation Date but thereafter, as of any two (2) consecutive Calculation Dates, Borrower fails to maintain a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.01:1.00), then Borrower shall, if requested by Lender, take one of the following two actions: (I) terminate the Management Agreement and replace Manager with a replacement Manager acceptable to Lender (in Lender’s discretion), on terms and

47




conditions satisfactory to Lender, which acceptance may, if required by Lender, be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such successor Manager and the successor Management Agreement, or (II) engage (or cause the engagement of) a new submanaging agent acceptable to Lender (in Lender’s reasonable discretion), on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender, which acceptance may, if required by Lender, be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such new submanaging agent and the new submanagement agreement (it being acknowledged that in such event Borrower shall be required to take one of the actions described in the foregoing clauses (I) or (II) but that it shall be Borrower’s option which of such actions Borrower shall take). All calculations of the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for purposes of this Section 5.12.2 shall (a) be subject to verification by Lender, and (b) use, as the adjustment for management fees made in calculating Net Operating Income in connection therewith, the greater of actual combined management fees and asset management fees paid under the Management Agreement (including any submanagement agreement) or two percent (2%) of gross revenues (instead of three percent (3%) as otherwise provided in the definition of Net Operating Income hereunder). In any such event described in this Section 5.12.2, Borrower’s failure to appoint an acceptable replacement Manager (or, as the case may be, submanaging agent) within thirty (30) days after Lender’s request of Borrower to terminate the Management Agreement (or, as the case may be, submanagement agreement) shall constitute an immediate Event of Default. Borrower may from time to time appoint a successor Manager to manage the Property, provided that such successor Manager and corresponding replacement Management Agreement shall be approved in writing by Lender (in Lender’s discretion), which approval may, if required by Lender, be conditioned upon Borrower delivering a Rating Comfort Letter as to such successor manager and Management Agreement.

5.13        Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower shall at all times be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower shall not directly or indirectly make any change, amendment or modification to its organizational documents, or otherwise take any action which could result in Borrower not being a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity.

5.14        Assumption in Non-Consolidation Opinion. Borrower shall conduct its business so that the assumptions (with respect to each Person) made in that certain substantive non-consolidation opinion letter dated the date hereof delivered by Borrower’s counsel in connection with the Loan, shall be true and correct in all respects.

5.16        Debt Cancellation. Borrower shall not cancel or otherwise forgive or release any claim or debt (other than termination of Leases in accordance herewith) owed to Borrower by any Person, except for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.

5.17        Affiliate Transactions. Other than the Management Agreement, Borrower shall not enter into, or be a party to, any transaction with an Affiliate of Borrower or any of the members of Borrower except in the ordinary course of business and on terms which are fully disclosed to Lender in advance and are no less favorable to Borrower or such Affiliate than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with an unrelated third party. With respect to the foregoing, Lender hereby acknowledges that it has approved the Management Agreement in the form delivered to Lender by Borrower on or before the date hereof.

5.18        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.

Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender, prior to or contemporaneously with the effective date of any such change, any financing statement or financing statement change required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to the 60-day period set forth above, Borrower may, after prior notice to Lender, at its own expense, contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity of

49




any such Permitted Indebtedness (during which time such 60-day period shall be tolled), provided that if Borrower desires to withhold payment of such Permitted Indebtedness during the pendency of the contest, (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) no part of or interest in the Property will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (iii) Borrower shall have furnished such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Permitted Indebtedness, together with all interest and penalties thereon, which security shall not be less than one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the Permitted Indebtedness being contested, and (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of such Permitted Indebtedness, together with all costs, interest and penalties and Borrower shall be permitted to use such security to make such payment.

of the Policies, (C) an agreement whereby the insurer waives any right to claim any premiums and commissions against Lender, provided that the policy need not waive the requirement that the premium be paid in order for a claim to be paid to the insured and (D) providing that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of premiums; (vii) in the event any insurance policy (except for general public and other liability and workers compensation insurance) shall contain breach of warranty provisions, such policy shall provide that with respect to the interest of Lender, such insurance policy shall not be invalidated by and shall insure Lender regardless of (A) any act, failure to act or negligence of or violation of warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policy by any named insured, (B) the occupancy or use of the premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by the terms thereof, or (C) any foreclosure or other action or proceeding taken by Lender pursuant to any provision of the Loan Documents; and (viii) be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies together with (unless such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof) receipts for or other evidence of the payment of the Insurance Premiums reasonably satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any expiring Policy, then Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, procure such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand, with interest accruing at the Default Rate. Borrower shall deliver to Lender a certified copy of each Policy within thirty (30) days after its effective date. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

       7.2   Casualty.

                       7.2.1   Notice; Restoration.   If the Property is damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrower, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such insurance proceeds available pursuant to Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction.

                       7.2.2   Settlement of Proceeds.   If a Casualty covered by any of the Policies (an “Insured Casualty”) occurs where the loss does not exceed $2,000,000, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may settle and adjust any claim without the prior consent of Lender; provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the insurance proceeds (the “Proceeds”). In the event of an Insured Casualty where the loss exceeds $2,000,000 (a “Significant Casualty”), Borrower may settle and adjust any claim with the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless either (i) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) the loss equals or exceeds $5,000,000, in

63




which either such case Lender may, in its sole discretion, settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower and agree with the insurer(s) on the amount to be paid on the loss, and the Proceeds shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disbursed in accordance herewith. If Borrower or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Proceeds with respect to a Significant Casualty, Borrower shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse such check payable to the order of Lender.  The expenses incurred by Lender in the settlement, adjustment and collection of the Proceeds shall become part of the Debt and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance carrier makes a payment under a property insurance Policy that Borrower proposes be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance carrier as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrower, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption insurance proceeds unless Borrower has demonstrated to Lender’s satisfaction that the remaining net Proceeds that will be received from the property insurance carriers are sufficient to pay one hundred percent (100%) of the cost of fully restoring the Improvements or, if such net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining net Proceeds will be sufficient to pay the Debt in full.

       7.3   Condemnation.

                       7.3.1   Notice; Restoration.   Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Property (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence of a Condemnation, Borrower, regardless of whether an Award is available (unless Lender has breached its obligation (if any) to make such Award available pursuant to Section 7.4.1), shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to the extent practicable to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character (and to have the same utility) as prior to such Condemnation.

                       7.3.2   Collection of Award.   If a Condemnation occurs where the award or payment in respect thereof (an “Award”) does not exceed $2,000,000 or which results in the taking of five percent (5%) or less of the Property, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior written consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld, provided such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner, and Borrower is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for the Award. In the event of a Condemnation where the Award is in excess of $2,000,000 or which results in the taking of more than five percent (5%) of the Property, Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with exclusive power to collect, receive and retain such Award and to make any compromise, adjustment or settlement in connection with such Condemnation with the prior consent of Borrower (unless an Event of Default is continuing, in which case, Borrower’s prior consent shall not be required), not to be unreasonably withheld (which shall be deemed consented to if Borrower fails to respond to any request for consent

64




therefor within 10 days’ of request). Notwithstanding any Condemnation (or any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of such Condemnation), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Loan Documents, and the Debt shall not be reduced unless and until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender to expenses of collecting the Award and to 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 in the Note. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of such Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall be recoverable or shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive all or a portion of the Award sufficient to pay the Debt. Borrower shall cause any Award that is payable to Borrower to be paid directly to Lender. Lender shall hold such Award in the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount and disburse such Award in accordance with the terms hereof.

       7.4   Application of Proceeds or Award.

                       7.4.1   Application to Restoration.   If an Insured Casualty or Condemnation occurs where (i) the loss is in an aggregate amount less than twenty five percent (25%) of the unpaid Principal; (ii) in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the Property can be restored within twelve (12) months after all applicable restoration permits have been obtained, and prior to six (6) months before the Stated Maturity Date and prior to the expiration of the rental or business interruption insurance with respect thereto, to the Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Insured Casualty or Condemnation and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Insured Casualty or Condemnation, and after such restoration will adequately secure the Debt; (iii) less than (x) thirty percent (30%), in the case of an Insured Casualty or (y) fifteen percent (15%), in the case of a Condemnation, of the rentable area of the Improvements has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation; (iv) Leases demising in the aggregate at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the total rentable space in the Property and in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Insured Casualty or Condemnation remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration (hereinafter defined); and (v) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be then continuing, then the Proceeds or the Award, as the case may be (after reimbursement of any expenses incurred by Lender), shall be applied to pay for or reimburse Borrower for the cost of restoring, repairing, replacing or rebuilding the Property (the “Restoration”), in the manner set forth herein. Borrower shall commence and diligently prosecute such Restoration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender be obligated to apply the Proceeds or Award to reimburse Borrower for the cost of Restoration unless, in addition to satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, both (x) Borrower shall pay (and if required by Lender, Borrower shall deposit with Lender in advance) all costs of such Restoration in excess of the net amount of the Proceeds or the Award made available pursuant to the terms hereof; and (y) Lender shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that during the period of the Restoration, the Rents will be at least equal to the sum of the operating expenses and Debt Service, as reasonably determined by Lender.

                       7.4.2   Application to Debt.   Except as provided in Section 7.4.1 above, any Proceeds and/or Award may, at the option of Lender in its discretion, be applied to the payment

65




of (i) accrued but unpaid interest on the Note, (ii) the unpaid Principal and (iii) other charges due under the Note and/or any of the other Loan Documents, or applied to reimburse Borrower for the cost of any Restoration, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4.3 below. Any such prepayment of the Loan shall be without any Yield Maintenance Premium, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time the Proceeds are received from the insurance company or the Award is received from the condemning authority, as the case may be, in which event Borrower shall pay to Lender an additional amount equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium, if any, that may be required with respect to the amount of the Proceeds or Award applied to the unpaid Principal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any Proceeds or Award are not required to be made available for a Restoration and are retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt, Borrower may prepay the entire outstanding Principal without payment of any Yield Maintenance Premium provided that (x) such prepayment is made within 90 days after Lender applies such Proceeds or Award to the Debt and (y) together with such prepayment, Borrower pays to Lender all accrued and unpaid interest and all other sums payable under the Loan Documents.

                       7.4.3   Procedure for Application to Restoration.   If Borrower is entitled to reimbursement out of the Proceeds or an Award held by Lender, such Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed from time to time from the Casualty/Condemnation Subaccount upon Lender being furnished with (i) evidence satisfactory to Lender of the estimated cost of completion of the Restoration, (ii) a fixed price or guaranteed maximum cost construction contract for Restoration satisfactory to Lender, (iii) prior to the commencement of Restoration, all immediately available funds in addition to the Proceeds or Award that in Lender’s judgment are required to complete the proposed Restoration (or such additional funds are irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose), (iv) such architect’s certificates, waivers of lien, contractor’s sworn statements, title insurance endorsements, bonds, plats of survey, permits, approvals, licenses and such other documents and items as Lender may reasonably require and approve in Lender’s discretion, and (v) all plans and specifications for such Restoration, such plans and specifications to be approved by Lender in writing prior to commencement of any work. Lender may, at Borrower’s expense, retain a consultant to review and approve all requests for disbursements, which approval shall also be a condition precedent to any disbursement. No payment made prior to the final completion of the Restoration shall exceed ninety percent (90%) of the value of the work performed from time to time; funds other than the Proceeds or Award shall be disbursed prior to disbursement of such Proceeds or Award; and at all times, the undisbursed balance of such Proceeds or Award remaining in the hands of Lender, together with funds deposited for that purpose or irrevocably committed to the satisfaction of Lender by or on behalf of Borrower for that purpose, shall be at least sufficient in the reasonable judgment of Lender to pay for the cost of completion of the Restoration, free and clear of all Liens or claims for Lien. Provided no Default or Event of Default then exists, any surplus that remains out of the Proceeds held by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall be paid to Borrower. Any surplus that remains out of the Award received by Lender after payment of such costs of Restoration shall, in the discretion of Lender, be retained by Lender and applied to payment of the Debt or returned to Borrower.

8.2          Remedies.

                       8.2.1   Acceleration.   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time and from time to time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to the 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 and to the Property; including declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable (including unpaid interest), Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower), without notice or demand; and upon any Event of Default described in paragraph (f) or (g) of Section 8.1 above, the Debt (including unpaid interest, Default Rate interest, Late Payment Charges, Yield Maintenance Premium and any other amounts owing by Borrower) shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained in any Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

                       8.2.2   Remedies Cumulative.   Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under the Loan Documents 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, or be automatically, 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. 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 discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, (i) to the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender is not subject to any “one

69




action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, the Mortgage has been foreclosed, the Property has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full. To the extent permitted by applicable law, nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any particular Property or any portion of the Property for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to any other portion, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the entire Property or any part thereof, in its discretion.

                       8.2.3   Severance.   During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations and priorities of payment and liens as Lender shall determine in its discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such severance, Borrower ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof.

                       8.2.4   Delay.   No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default, or the granting of any indulgence or compromise by Lender shall impair any such remedy, right or power hereunder or 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 shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Lender reserves the right to seek a deficiency judgment or preserve a deficiency claim in connection with the foreclosure of the Mortgage to the extent necessary to foreclose on all or any portion of the Property, the Rents, the Cash Management Accounts or any other collateral.

                       8.2.5   Lender’s Right to Perform.   If Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all costs, expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrower to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by

70




the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to Borrower of any such failure. Additionally, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make any Protective Advance (hereinafter defined) (provided, however, that Lender will only make such Protective Advance from its own funds if there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Accounts), and the same shall be added to the Debt (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgage and other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. As used herein, “Protective Advance” means all sums advanced for the purpose of payment of real estate taxes (including special payments in lieu of real estate taxes), maintenance costs, insurance premiums, operating expenses, trade payables or other items with respect to the Property (including capital items) reasonably necessary to protect the Property or any other security given for the Loan or to preserve any of Lender’s rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.

9.     SPECIAL PROVISIONS

       9.1   Sale of Note and Secondary Market Transaction.

                       9.1.1   General; Borrower Cooperation.   Lender shall have the right at any time and from time to time (i) to sell or otherwise transfer the Loan or any portion thereof or the Loan Documents or any interest therein to one or more investors, (ii) to sell participation interests in the Loan to one or more investors or (iii) to securitize the Loan or any portion thereof in a single asset securitization or a pooled loan securitization of rated single or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in the Note and the Mortgage (each such sale, assignment, participation and/or securitization is referred to herein as a “Secondary Market Transaction”). In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Borrower shall use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Lender and otherwise assist Lender in satisfying the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Secondary Market Transactions, including: (a) to (i) to provide such financial and other information with respect to the Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, Manager and any tenants of the Property, (ii)  provide business plans and budgets relating to the Property and (iii)  perform or permit or cause to be performed or permitted such site inspection, appraisals, surveys, market studies, environmental reviews and reports, engineering reports and other due diligence investigations of the Property, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by Lender or the Rating Agencies or as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction or Exchange Act requirements (the items provided to Lender pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) of this paragraph (a) being called the “Provided Information”), together, if customary, with appropriate verification of and/or consents to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (b) at Borrower’s expense, cause counsel to render opinions as to non-consolidation (which may be an update of an existing non-consolidation opinion) and any other opinion customary in securitization transactions with respect to the Property, Borrower and its Affiliates, which counsel and opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies; (c) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of any Secondary Market Transaction with respect to the Property, Borrower and the Loan Documents as are customarily provided in such transactions and as may be reasonably requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents; (d) provide current certificates of good standing and qualification with respect to Borrower and Guarantor from appropriate Governmental Authorities; and (e) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents and Borrower’s organizational documents, as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies or otherwise to effect a Secondary Market

71




Transaction, provided that nothing contained in this subsection (e) shall result in changes to Loan terms adverse to Borrower or require Borrower to incur any additional liabilities. Borrower’s cooperation obligations set forth herein shall continue until the Loan has been paid in full.

                       9.1.2   Use of Information.   Borrower understands that all or any portion of the Provided Information and any other information and/or materials delivered by or on behalf of Borrower, Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates may be included in disclosure documents in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, including a prospectus 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 or other parties relating to the Secondary Market Transaction. If the Disclosure Document is required to be revised, Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in updating the Provided Information or such other information and/or materials for inclusion or summary in the Disclosure Document or for other use reasonably required in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction by providing all current information pertaining to Borrower, Manager and the Property necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects with respect to such matters.

9.1.3   Borrower Obligations Regarding Disclosure Documents.   In connection with a Disclosure Document, Borrower shall: (a) if requested by Lender, certify in writing that Borrower has carefully examined those portions of such Disclosure Document, pertaining to Borrower, the Property, Manager and the Loan, and that such portions do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and (b) indemnify (in a separate instrument of indemnity, if so requested by Lender) (i) any underwriter, syndicate member or placement agent (collectively, the “Underwriters”) retained by Lender or its issuing company affiliate (the “Issuer”) in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, (ii) Lender and (iii) the Issuer that is named in the Disclosure Document or registration statement relating to a Secondary Market Transaction (the “Registration Statement”), and each of the Issuer’s directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each person or entity who controls the Issuer or the Lender within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 30 of the Exchange Act (collectively within (iii), the “GCM Group”), and each of its directors and each person who controls each of the Underwriters, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (the “Liabilities”) to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject (including reimbursing all of them for any legal or other expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities) insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Provided Information or in any of the applicable portions of such sections of the Disclosure Document applicable to Borrower, Manager, the Property or the Loan, or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in the applicable portions of such sections or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable portions of such sections in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to indemnify Lender for any Liabilities

72




relating to untrue statements or omissions which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at the time of Borrower’s examination of such Disclosure Document or which Borrower identified to Lender in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to Lender’s delivery of such Disclosure Document to any third party in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, or (ii) any information or document not provided to or certified by Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1.3, nothing contained herein shall impose liability upon Borrower for any losses, claims, damages or liability arising out of or based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in any statement, report or document provided to Lender on behalf of Borrower by a party who is not an Affiliate of Borrower (a “Third Party Report”), unless Borrower had actual knowledge at the time Borrower provided such statement, report or document to Lender that such Third Party Report contains such untrue statement.

                       9.1.4   Borrower Indemnity Regarding Filings.   In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, Borrower shall (i) indemnify Lender, the GCM Group and the Underwriter Group for any Liabilities to which Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated in the Provided Information in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made not misleading and (ii) reimburse Lender, the GCM Group or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses actually incurred by Lender, GCM Group or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 9.1.4, nothing contained herein shall impose liability upon Borrower for any Liabilities arising out of or based upon an untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Third Party Report, unless Borrower had actual knowledge at the time Borrower provided such statement, report or document to Lender that such Third Party Report contains such untrue statement.

                       9.1.5   Indemnification Procedure.   Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above of notice of the commencement of any action for which a claim for indemnification is to be made against Borrower, such indemnified party shall notify Borrower in writing of such commencement, but the omission to so notify Borrower will not relieve Borrower from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to Borrower. If any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies Borrower of the commencement thereof, Borrower will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice of commencement, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party in its discretion. After notice from Borrower to such indemnified party under this Section 9.1.5, Borrower shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both Borrower and an indemnified party, and any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to Borrower, then the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Borrower shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel

73




unless there are legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another indemnified party.

                       9.1.6   Contribution.   In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above is for any reason held to be unenforceable by an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.1.3 above or Section 9.1.4 above, Borrower shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered:  (i) the GCM Group’s and Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrower hereby agree that it may not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.

                       9.1.7   Severance of Loan.   Lender shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to, in connection with, or after any Secondary Market Transaction), with respect to all or any portion of the Loan, to modify, split and/or sever all or any portion of the Loan as hereinafter provided. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender may (i) cause the Note and the Mortgage to be split into a first and second mortgage loan, (ii) create one more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure), (iii) create multiple components of the Note or Notes (and allocate or reallocate the principal balance of the Loan among such components) or (iv) otherwise sever the Loan into two (2) or more loans secured by mortgages and by a pledge of partnership or membership interests (directly or indirectly) in Borrower (i.e., a senior loan/mezzanine loan structure), in each such case, in whatever proportion and whatever priority Lender determines; provided, however, in each such instance the outstanding principal balance of all the Notes evidencing the Loan (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all such Notes (or components of such Notes) immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and no such modification shall have a significant adverse economic effect on Borrower. If requested by Lender, Borrower (and Borrower’s constituent members, if applicable, and Guarantor) shall execute within seven (7) Business Days after such request, such documentation as Lender may reasonably request to evidence and/or effectuate any such modification or severance.

       9.2   Costs and Expenses.   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall not be required to incur out-of-pocket expenses in the performance of its obligations under Sections 9.1.1 (other than with respect to the delivery or update of non-consolidation opinions), 9.1.2 and 9.1.7.]

       9.3   Mezzanine Loan.   Lender agrees to permit owner(s) of direct or indirect equity interests in Borrower (the Mezzanine Borrower”, provided however that in no event shall any

74




entity required hereunder to be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity be a Mezzanine Borrower) to obtain a mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) the proceeds of which may be used solely to make a capital contribution to Borrower and in turn used by Borrower to pay Approved Leasing Expenses incurred with respect to Leases entered into after the date hereof, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions (provided that no more than one Mezzanine Loan shall be permitted during the term of the Loan):

(a)   no Event of Default shall exist;
(b)   the Mezzanine Loan may be secured by a pledge by Mezzanine Borrower of such Mezzanine Borrower’s direct or indirect equity interest in Borrower, but not by the Property or any assets of Borrower or of any other entity required hereunder to be a Single Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity, and neither Borrower nor any other entity required hereunder to be a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity shall in any way be obligated in connection with the Mezzanine Loan (except for non-monetary obligations reasonably acceptable to Lender that are customary in connection with mezzanine loans involving securitized senior loans);
(c)   if a Secondary Market Transaction has occurred, Borrower shall have obtained (and delivered to Lender) a Rating Comfort Letter with respect to the proposed Mezzanine Loan;
(d)   the Mezzanine Loan lender (the “Mezzanine Lender”) shall be an Acceptable Mezzanine Lender;
(e)   the  Mezzanine Lender shall, upon Lender’s request, execute a subordination and standstill intercreditor agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) in form approved by Lender, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed so long as the Intercreditor Agreement is otherwise in conformance with Rating Agency approved forms for intercreditor agreements;
(f)    the Net Operating Income of the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender for the 12 month period then most recently ended, is sufficient to satisfy an aggregate projected Debt Service Coverage Ratio (based on the aggregate of the Debt Service on the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan) of at least 1.00:1.00;
(g)   Lender shall have approved (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) the loan documents evidencing and securing the Mezzanine Loan;
(h)   the maturity of the Mezzanine Loan shall be no earlier than the Maturity Date;
(i)    the Property value, as determined by Lender based on a FIRREA appraisal dated not more than six (6) months prior to the date of the Mezzanine Loan and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lender, prepared, at Borrower’s expense, on behalf of Lender by an appraiser reasonably approved by Lender which is a member of the Appraisal Institute with substantial experience in appraising properties similar to the Property, is sufficient to satisfy an aggregate loan-to-value ratio (based on the aggregate balances of the Loan and the Mezzanine Loan) not in excess of 80%;

75




(j)    Mezzanine Loan payments shall be made solely from excess Property cash flow distributed by the Borrower to its owners after payment of all debt service and reserve payments under the Loan and operating expenses for the Property or from other funds of Mezzanine Borrower; and
(k)   Borrower shall enter into such amendments or supplements to the Loan Documents as Lender may require in order to establish a hard lock box and cash management arrangement whereby (or modify the existing arrangement so that) Property cash flow is deposited and applied, through Lender-controlled accounts, first to debt service and reserves required under the Loan, then to fund operating expenses, prior to any distributions of excess Property cash flow to the Borrower’s owners for payments upon the Mezzanine Loan.

Borrower shall pay or reimburse to Lender all Rating Agency fees and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender, including fees and expenses of Lender’s counsel, in connection with the review and documentation concerning the Mezzanine Loan regardless of whether such Mezzanine Loan is closed.

       9.4   Letters of Credit.   Each of the letters of credit delivered by Borrower under this Agreement (each, a “Letter of Credit”; collectively, the “Letters of Credit”) shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. In the event Lender transfers any Letter of Credit to any successor or assignee of Lender, and the issuer of the Letter of Credit charges a fee in connection with such transfer, Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender for such transfer fee.

10.  MISCELLANEOUS

10.1   Exculpation.   (a) Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform and observe the obligations contained in the 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 and rights under the Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower only to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender 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 any Loan Document.

77




(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) Lender’s agreement not to pursue personal liability of Borrower as set forth above SHALL BECOME NULL AND VOID and shall be of no further force and effect, and the Debt shall be fully recourse to the Borrower in an amount equal to the greater of (x) Lender’s Losses arising out of or in connection with the following matters or (y) an amount equal to the unpaid balance of the Debt, in the event that one or more of the following occurs (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”): (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.1(d) shall have occurred; (ii) the occurrence of any condition or event described in either Section 8.1(f)(i) (with respect to Borrower only) or Section 8.1(g) (with respect to Borrower only) (each, an “Insolvency Action”) and, with respect to such Insolvency Action described in Section 8.1(g), either Borrower, Guarantor or any Person owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Borrower or Guarantor consents to, aids, solicits, supports, or otherwise cooperates or colludes to cause such Insolvency Action or fails to contest such Insolvency Action, except in the event that any such party has a fiduciary or legal duty to take such action; (iii) any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is brought by Borrower or Guarantor or any of their respective Affiliates against any of them; or (iv) if subsequent to the commencement of any voluntary bankruptcy proceeding with respect to Borrower, any involuntary bankruptcy proceeding is brought by Lender against Borrower and Borrower or Guarantor files any motion contesting the same.

Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Borrower specifically waives any claim against Lender and its

81




agents, including Servicer, with respect to actions taken by Lender or its agents on Borrower’s behalf.

Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to the Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such offset, 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 offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

10.16      Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public, which refers to the Loan Documents, the Loan, Lender or any member of the GCM Group, a Loan purchaser, the Servicer or the trustee in a Secondary Market Transaction, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender; provided however, that Lender’s consent shall not be required by Borrower, Borrower’s Affiliates, or any broker dealer or investor representative related to the marketing or sale of any investment fund or investment trust managed by Borrower’s Affiliates which disclosure is required under the Securities Act of 1933 or 1934 or to any potential purchaser of an interest in the Property. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrower’s approval.

10.17      No Usury. Borrower and Lender intend at all times to comply with applicable state law or applicable United States federal law (to the extent that it permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under state law) and that this Section 10.17 shall control every other agreement in the Loan Documents. If the applicable law (state or federal) is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount called for under the Note or any other Loan Document, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received with respect to the Debt, or if Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan or any prepayment by Borrower results in Borrower having paid any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited against the unpaid Principal and all other Debt (or, if the Debt has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Loan Documents immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for thereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Loan shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be

82




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 Debt does not exceed the maximum lawful rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Debt for so long as the Debt is outstanding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

10.18      Conflict; Construction of Documents. 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 each is represented by separate counsel in connection with the negotiation and drafting of the Loan Documents and that the Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party that drafted them.

10.19      No Third Party Beneficiaries. The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrower and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

10.20      Assignment. The Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be assigned by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Loan Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender. Borrower may not assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Loan Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.

10.21      Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Loan Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

10.22      Certain Additional Rights of Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary which may be contained in this Agreement, Lender shall have:

(i)            the right to routinely consult with Borrower’s management regarding the significant business activities and business and financial developments of Borrower, provided, however, that such consultations shall not include discussions of environmental

83




compliance programs or disposal of hazardous substances. Consultation meetings (which may be held by teleconference) should occur on a regular basis (no less frequently than quarterly) with Lender having the right to call special meetings at any reasonable times upon reasonable notice;

(ii)           the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to examine the books and records of Borrower at any time upon reasonable notice;

(iii)          the right, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to receive monthly, quarterly and year-end financial reports, including balance sheets, statements of income, shareholder’s equity and cash flow, a management report and schedules of outstanding indebtedness;

(iv)          the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict financing to be obtained with respect to the Property so long as any portion of the Debt remains outstanding;

(v)           the right, without restricting any other right of Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including any similar right), to restrict, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower’s payments of management, consulting, director or similar fees to Affiliates of Borrower from the Rents;

(vi)          the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any operating budget and/or capital budget of Borrower;

(vii)         the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to approve any acquisition by Borrower of any other significant property (other than personal property required for the day to day operation of the Property); and

(viii)        the right, without restricting any other rights of Lender under this Agreement (including any similar right), to restrict the transfer of interests in Borrower held by its members, and the right to restrict the transfer of interests in such member, except for any transfer that is a Permitted Transfer.

The rights described above may be exercised directly or indirectly by any Person that owns substantially all of the ownership interests in Lender.

10.23      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

10.24      Yield Maintenance Premium. Borrower acknowledges that (a) Lender is making the Loan in consideration of the receipt by Lender of all interest and other benefits intended to be conferred by the Loan Documents and (b) if payments of Principal are made to

84




Lender prior to the Stated Maturity Date, for any reason whatsoever, whether voluntary, as a result of Lender’s acceleration of the Loan after an Event of Default, by operation of law or otherwise, Lender will not receive all such interest and other benefits and may, in addition, incur costs. For these reasons, and to induce Lender to make the Loan, Borrower agrees that, except as expressly provided in Section 2.2.3, Section 2.3.2, Section 2.3.4 and Section 7.4.2 hereof, all prepayments, if any, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be accompanied by the Yield Maintenance Premium. Such Yield Maintenance Premium shall be required whether payment is made by Borrower, by a Person on behalf of Borrower, or by the purchaser at any foreclosure sale, and may be included in any bid by Lender at such sale. Borrower further acknowledges that (A) it is a knowledgeable real estate developer and/or investor; (B) it fully understands the effect of the provisions of this Section 10.24, as well as the other provisions of the Loan Documents; (C) the making of the Loan by Lender at the Interest Rate and other terms set forth in the Loan Documents are sufficient consideration for Borrower’s obligation to pay a Yield Maintenance Premium (if required); and (D) Lender would not make the Loan on the terms set forth herein without the inclusion of such provisions. Borrower also acknowledges that the provisions of this Agreement limiting the right of prepayment and providing for the payment of the Yield Maintenance Premium and other charges specified herein were independently negotiated and bargained for, and constitute a specific material part of the consideration given by Borrower to Lender for the making of the Loan except as expressly permitted hereunder. BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER HAS AGREED THAT IT DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO PREPAY THE LOAN IN WHOLE OR IN PART WITHOUT PREMIUM EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, AND THAT BORROWER SHALL BE LIABLE FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE YIELD MAINTENANCE PREMIUM TO THE EXTENT PROVIDED HEREIN IF BORROWER PREPAYS THE LOAN FOLLOWING THE OCCURRENCE OF AN ACCELERATION OF THE LOAN. BORROWER HEREBY FURTHER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER HAS MADE THE LOAN EVIDENCED HEREBY IN RELIANCE ON THE FOREGOING AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, THAT LENDER WOULD NOT HAVE MADE THIS LOAN WITHOUT SUCH AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS OF BORROWER, AND THAT THE MAKING OF THE LOAN AT THE INTEREST RATE AND FOR THE TERMS SET FORTH HEREIN CONSTITUTES ADEQUATE CONSIDERATION, GIVEN WEIGHT BY THE UNDERSIGNED, FOR SUCH AGREEMENTS AND WAIVER.
