II. GENERAL TERMS

Section 2.1 The Loan.

2.1.1. Agreement to Lend and Borrow. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make and Borrower hereby agrees to accept the Loan on the Closing Date.

2.1.2. Single Disbursement to Borrower. Borrower may request and receive only one borrowing hereunder in respect of the Loan and no amount borrowed and repaid hereunder in respect of the Loan may be reborrowed.

2.1.3. The Note, Security Instrument and Other Loan Documents. The Loan shall be evidenced by the Note and secured by the Security Instrument, each Assignment of Leases and the other Loan Documents.

2.1.4. Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loan to (a) acquire the Property or to repay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Property, (b) pay all past due Basic Carrying Costs, if any, in respect of the Property, (c) make deposits into the Reserve Funds on the Closing Date in the amounts provided herein, (d) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Property or the closing of the Loan, as approved by Lender, (e) fund any working capital requirements of the Property, as approved by Lender and (f) distribute the balance, if any, to Borrower.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate and Payments.

2.2.1. Interest Generally; Usury.

(a) Except as herein provided with respect to interest accruing at the Default Rate, interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall accrue at the Applicable Interest Rate from (and including) the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Maturity Date.

(b) This Agreement and the Note are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be obligated or required to pay interest on the principal balance of the Loan at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If, by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrower is at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance due hereunder at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Applicable Interest Rate or the Default Rate, as the case may be, shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal (but not subject to any Prepayment Consideration) and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

 

28


2.2.2. Interest Calculation. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Payment Date shall be the Interest Accrual Period immediately prior to such Payment Date. Borrower understands and acknowledges that such interest accrual requirement results in more interest accruing on the Loan than if either (i) a thirty (30) day month and a three hundred sixty (360) day year or (ii) the actual number of days in a month and a three hundred and sixty five (365) day year were used to compute the accrual of interest on the Loan.

2.2.3. Payments Before Maturity Date; Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. Borrower shall pay to Lender: (a) unless the Closing Date occurs on the first (1st) day of a calendar month, on the Closing Date, an amount equal to interest only at the Applicable Interest Rate on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan from the Closing Date up to and including December 31, 2012, calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed during such period by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the Closing Date and (b) on the Payment Date occurring in February, 2013 and on each Payment Date thereafter up to but not including the Maturity Date, an amount equal to interest only at the Applicable Interest Rate, calculated by multiplying (i) the actual number of days elapsed in each Interest Accrual Period by (ii) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year by (iii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan during each Interest Accrual Period (the “Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount”).

2.2.4. Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Debt, including but not limited to, the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon through the end of the Interest Accrual Period immediately prior to the Maturity Date and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents.

2.2.5. Payments After Default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, failure to repay the Debt on the Maturity Date), interest on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by Law, overdue interest and other amounts due in respect of the Loan, shall accrue at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be computed from the occurrence of the Event of Default until the earlier of the date such Event of Default has ceased to exist or the date of actual receipt and collection of the Debt in full. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest at the Default Rate shall be added to the Debt, shall itself accrue interest at the same rate as the Loan and shall be secured by each Security Instrument. This paragraph shall not be construed as an agreement or privilege to extend the date of the payment of the Debt, nor as a waiver of any other right or remedy accruing to Lender by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, all interest accrued at the Default Rate shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender.

 

29


2.2.6. Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the balloon payment due on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on or before the seventh (7th) day after the date the same is due and payable, 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 in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

2.2.7. Release on Payment in Full. Lender shall, upon the written request and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, after payment in full of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations in accordance with the terms and provisions of each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, release the Lien of each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents on the Property.

Section 2.3 Manner of Making Payments.

2.3.1. Making of Payments. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof, each payment by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall be made in funds immediately available to Lender by 2:00 p.m., central time, on the date such payment is due, to PNC Bank, National Association, c/o Midland Loan Services, c/o Bank of Oklahoma, Lockbox #2585, 6242 East 41st Street, Tulsa, OK 74135, or such other place as Lender may from time to time designate in writing. Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the first Business Day following such scheduled due date.

2.3.2. Credit for Payment Receipt. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof, no payment due under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed paid to Lender until received by Lender at its designated office on a Business Day prior to 2:00 p.m., central time. Subject to Section 3.7 hereof, any payment received after the time established by the preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been paid on the immediately succeeding Business Day. Each payment that is paid to Lender within ten (10) days prior to the date on which such payment is due, and prior to its scheduled Payment Date, shall not be deemed a prepayment and shall be deemed to have been received on the Payment Date solely for the purpose of calculating interest due.

2.3.3. Invalidated Payments. If any payment received by Lender is deemed by a court of competent jurisdiction to be a voidable preference or fraudulent conveyance under any Creditors Rights Laws, and is required to be returned by Lender, then the obligation to make such payment shall be reinstated, notwithstanding that the Note may have been marked satisfied and returned to Borrower or otherwise canceled, and such payment shall be immediately due and payable upon demand.

2.3.4. No Deductions, etc. All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without any deduction for, any setoff, defense, claim or counterclaims.

 

30


2.3.5. Application of Payments. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, payments of principal and interest due from Borrower shall be applied (a) first, to the payment or reimbursement of any expenses (including but not limited to late charges), costs or obligations (other than the principal and interest) for which Borrower shall be obligated or Lender entitled pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, (b) second, to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest, (c) third, to the payment of unpaid Reserve Funds required pursuant to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and (d) fourth, to the payment of principal then outstanding. If at any time Lender receives less than the full amount due and payable on a Payment Date or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender may apply all payments received to amounts then due and payable in any manner and in any order determined by Lender, in its sole discretion. Lender’s acceptance of a payment from Borrower in an amount that is less than the full amount then due and Lender’s application of such payments to amounts then due from Borrower shall not constitute or be deemed to constitute a waiver of the unpaid amounts or an accord and satisfaction.

2.3.6. Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, Lender;

(ii) subject Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 2.3.7(c) hereof and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by Lender); or

(iii) impose on Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of Lender, Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender for such reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting Lender or any lending office of Lender or Lender’s holding company regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital or on the capital of Lender’s holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, or the Loan to a level below that which Lender or Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

 

31


2.3.7. Indemnified Taxes.

(a) All payments made by Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, Indemnified Taxes, excluding (i) Indemnified Taxes measured by Lender’s net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the Laws of which Lender is resident or organized, or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) taxes measured by Lender’s overall net income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of Lender’s lending office or any political subdivision thereof or in which Lender is resident or engaged in business, (iii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction in which Borrower is located, and (iv) withholding taxes imposed by the United States of America, any state, commonwealth, protectorate territory or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein as a result of the failure of Lender which is a Non-U.S. Entity to comply with the terms of subsection (b) below (collectively, “Excluded Taxes”). If any non-excluded Indemnified Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to Lender (after payment of all non-excluded Indemnified Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rate or in the amounts specified hereunder. Whenever any non-excluded Indemnified Tax is payable pursuant to applicable Law by Borrower, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt showing payment of such non-excluded Indemnified Tax or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby indemnifies and hold harmless Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by Lender which may result from any failure by Borrower to pay any such non-excluded Indemnified Tax when due to the appropriate taxing authority or any failure by Borrower to remit to Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence.

(b) In the event that any successor and/or assign of Lender is not incorporated under the Laws of the United States of America or a state thereof (a “Non-U.S. Entity”) Lender agrees that, prior to the first date on which any payment is due such entity hereunder, it will deliver to Borrower two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each entity required to deliver to Borrower a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI pursuant to the preceding sentence further undertakes to deliver to Borrower two further copies of such forms, or successor applicable forms, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires (which, in the case of the Form W-8ECI, is the last day of each U.S. taxable year of the Non-U.S. Entity) or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to Borrower, and such other extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by Borrower, certifying in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI that such entity is entitled to receive payments under the Note without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless in any such case an event (including, without limitation, any change in treaty, Law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such entity from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such entity advises Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.

 

32


(c) Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.3.7, Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Official Body in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of Lender timely reimburse Lender for, the payment of, any Other Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes).

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

2.4.1. Voluntary Prepayments. Except as set forth in this Section 2.4, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay all or any portion of the Debt. After the Lockout Period, Borrower may prepay the Debt in whole, but not in part, on any Payment Date, provided the following conditions are satisfied: (a) no Event of Default shall be occurring on either the date the required prepayment notice is received by Lender or the Prepayment Date; (b) Borrower shall give a revocable written notice to Lender specifying the date on which a prepayment is to be made (the date of any prepayment hereunder, whether pursuant to such notice or not, and whether voluntary or involuntary, being herein referred to as the “Prepayment Date”) not more than sixty (60) days and not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Prepayment Date; and (c) the applicable Prepayment Consideration, if any, is paid by Borrower to Lender with such prepayment of the entire Debt in full. Additionally, any such prepayment not actually received by Lender before 2:00 p.m., central time, on the fifth (5th) day of the month must also include the interest which would have accrued on the amount of such prepayment during the entire Interest Accrual Period in which the prepayment is made.

BORROWER HEREBY AGREES THAT IN THE EVENT BORROWER DELIVERS A PREPAYMENT NOTICE AND FAILS TO PREPAY THE LOAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PREPAYMENT NOTICE AND THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 2.4.1 (A “PREPAYMENT FAILURE”), BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER FROM AND AGAINST, AND SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR, ALL LOSSES (INCLUDING ANY BREAKAGE COSTS) INCURRED BY LENDER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH PREPAYMENT FAILURE, PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES ARE DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY FINAL AND NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE, ILLEGAL ACTS, BAD FAITH OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF LENDER.

2.4.2. Prepayment Consideration. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any prepayment of the Debt unless it is accompanied by the applicable Prepayment Consideration. The “Prepayment Consideration” shall be calculated by Lender as follows:

 

From the date hereof through

December 31, 2014 (the “Lockout Period”):

   Not applicable; No prepayment permitted.

 

33


January 1, 2015 through

June 30, 2022:

   The greater of (i) one percent (1.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on a Prepayment Date; or (ii) the Yield Maintenance Premium.

July 1, 2022 (the “Open Period

Start Date”) through

January 1, 2023 (the “Scheduled Maturity Date”):

   No Prepayment Consideration (i.e., $0.00).

Prepayment After an Event

of Default but before the

Open Period Start Date:

   The Prepayment Consideration set forth in Section 2.4.4 hereof.

Borrower acknowledges that the Prepayment Consideration is a bargained for consideration and is not a penalty. Borrower recognizes that Lender would incur substantial additional costs and expenses in the event of a prepayment of the Debt and that the Prepayment Consideration compensates Lender for such costs and expenses (including without limitation, the loss of Lender’s investment opportunity during the period from the Prepayment Date until the Maturity Date). Borrower agrees that Lender shall not, as a condition to receiving the Prepayment Consideration, be obligated to actually reinvest the amount prepaid in any treasury obligation or in any other manner whatsoever. Any Prepayment Consideration shall be subject to reduction if and to the extent characterized as interest under applicable law, by the amount, if any, which would cause the interest on the Note to exceed the Maximum Legal Rate.

2.4.3. Mandatory Prepayments. If Borrower receives any Net Proceeds and if Lender is not obligated to make, and does not make, such Net Proceeds available to Borrower for the Restoration of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal balance of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Proceeds. No Prepayment Consideration shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3. Any partial prepayment under this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan; provided, however, if an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lender may apply such Net Proceeds to the Debt in any order or priority in its sole discretion.

2.4.4. Prepayments After Event of Default. If, during the continuance of any Event of Default (and prior to the Open Period Start Date), Borrower shall tender payment of an amount sufficient to satisfy the Debt, such tender by Borrower shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment in the amount tendered and in such case Borrower shall also pay to Lender, with respect to the amount tendered, Prepayment Consideration equal to the greater of (a) four percent (4.0%) of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan on the date of such tendered prepayment and (b) the Yield Maintenance Premium (provided that all references to the “Prepayment Date” contained in the definition of Yield Maintenance Premium shall mean the date of said tendered prepayment) which Prepayment Consideration shall be immediately due and payable. Lender shall not be obligated to accept any such tender unless it is accompanied by all Prepayment Consideration due in connection therewith.

III. CASH MANAGEMENT

Section 3.1 Establishment of Lockbox Account and Cash Management Account.

3.1.1. Establishment of Lockbox Account.

(a) Borrower shall, upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event (i) establish, and hereby covenants to maintain during any Triggering Event Period, a segregated account (the “Lockbox Account”) with Lockbox Bank directly into which Borrower shall deposit or cause to be deposited all Rents (including, without limitation all Lease Termination Payments) or other revenue of any kind from the Property received by each Borrower or Manager, in accordance with Section 3.1.1(b) hereof, and (ii) execute a deposit account control agreement, in form and substance acceptable to Lender, with Lender and Lockbox Bank providing for the sole dominion and control and security interest in the Lockbox Account by Lender (the “Lockbox Agreement”). The Lockbox Account shall be in the name of Borrower, for the benefit of Lender. The Lockbox Agreement shall require the Lockbox Bank to maintain the Lockbox Account as an Eligible Account, and shall provide that Borrower and Lender or its Servicer shall have the right to electronic access to information regarding balances, deposits into and withdrawals from the Lockbox Account and to receive periodic reports from the Lockbox Bank with respect thereto. Borrower shall not in any way alter, modify or change the Lockbox Account or Lockbox Agreement without the prior written consent of Lender. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during the continuance of a Triggering Event Period, Borrower shall also establish, and hereby covenants to maintain with, Lockbox Bank a lockbox address at the Lockbox Bank (the “Lockbox Address”).

(b) Borrower represents, warrants and covenants that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Triggering Event Period (i) Borrower shall, and shall cause Manager to, immediately deposit all Rents or other revenue of any kind from the Property received by Borrower or Manager directly into the Lockbox Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt, (ii) Borrower shall, or shall cause Manager to, send a notice, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, to all tenants then under Leases directing them to pay all Rents and other sums due thereunder directly to the Lockbox Address (or to the Lockbox Account via wire transfer), and (iii) neither Borrower nor any other Person shall open any other such account with respect to the deposit of income in connection with the Property. During any Triggering Event Period, any Rents and any other revenue of any kind from the Property held by Borrower or Manager prior to being deposited into the Lockbox Account shall be deemed to be Collateral and shall be held in trust by Borrower or Manager, as applicable, for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender and shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrower or Manager. Borrower warrants and covenants that it shall not rescind, withdraw or change any notices or instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to this Section 3.1.1(b) without Lender’s prior written consent.

(c) In the event the Lockbox Bank resigns or is otherwise terminated under the Lockbox Agreement, Borrower shall (i) cooperate with Lender in connection with the appointment of a replacement Lockbox Bank, and (ii) deliver to Lender a fully executed replacement Lockbox Agreement in form and substance acceptable to Lender within thirty (30) days of Lockbox Bank’s resignation or termination. In connection with any resignation or other termination of the Lockbox Bank, Borrower shall also cooperate with Lender to issue new notices or instructions to replace the notices and instructions required to be sent by it pursuant to Section 3.1.1(b) hereof.

 

35


3.1.2. Establishment of Cash Management Account. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during the continuance of any Triggering Event Period, Lender shall establish an Account (the “Cash Management Account”) with the Cash Management Bank (which may include one or more book-entry sub-accounts as deemed necessary by Lender). The Cash Management Account shall be in the name of Lender, as lender and secured party for Borrower.

3.1.3. Accounts Generally. The Lockbox Account and the Cash Management Account shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Article 12 hereof.

Section 3.2 Daily Transfers from the Lockbox Account. The Lockbox Agreement shall provide that, so long as no Triggering Event Period is then continuing, on each Business Day on which available funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, Lockbox Bank shall transfer all such available funds (less a peg amount of $1,000 required by Lockbox Bank) to the Operating Account. Upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event and during the continuance of any Triggering Event Period, the Lockbox Agreement shall provide that all transfers from the Lockbox Account to the Operating Account shall immediately cease and the Lockbox Bank shall, on each Business Day on which available funds are on deposit in the Lockbox Account, transfer all such available funds (less a peg amount of $1,000 required by Lockbox Bank) to the Cash Management Account.

Section 3.3 Monthly Disbursements from the Cash Management Account. Provided no Event of Default is then continuing, Lender shall withdraw all funds on deposit in the Cash Management Account on the Disbursement Date. Lender shall disburse any amounts transferred to the Cash Management Account representing any Lease Termination Payments to Lender for deposit into the Early Lease Termination Reserve, and Lender shall disburse the balance of such funds in the following order of priority:

(a) First, to Cash Management Bank, for the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Cash Management Account;

(b) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Tax Deposit if required to be made under Section 9.2 hereof;

(c) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit if required to be made under Section 9.2 hereof;

(d) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount;

(e) Next, to Lender, funds sufficient to pay any interest accruing at the Default Rate, late payment charges, and any unpaid reimbursable costs and expenses incurred by Lender on Borrower’s behalf or in the enforcement of Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents, if any;

 

36


(f) Next, to Borrower, funds sufficient to pay all Operating Expenses due pursuant to an Annual Budget, or Approved Annual Budget, as applicable, for such calendar month to Borrower, together with other amounts incurred by Borrower in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property and approved by Lender in it sole discretion;

(g) Next, to Borrower, funds sufficient to pay for Extraordinary Expenses approved by Lender in its sole discretion, if any;

(h) Next, if the Triggering Event was an Event of Default, to Servicer, for the payment of the Servicing Fee; and

(i) Next, all amounts remaining in the Cash Management Account after deposits pursuant to clauses (a) through (h) above for the current month and all prior months to Lender, for deposit into the Excess Cash Reserve Account.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender reserves the right, exercisable at its sole option, to apply Rents and other sums on deposit in or deposited into the Cash Management Account (and any sub-account established thereunder) to the payment of the Debt, in such order, manner, amounts, times and priority as Lender in its sole discretion determines (including to the payment of the items for which the Reserve Funds or the Triggering Event Period Reserve Funds were established, if Lender so elects in its sole discretion), and such reserved rights shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 3.4 Deposit and Disbursement of Funds Allocated for Payment of Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits. Provided no Event of Default is then continuing, all amounts disbursed to Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof to pay Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits shall be deposited by Lender into the applicable Reserve Account established by Lender pursuant to Article IX hereof, and disbursed by Lender in accordance with the applicable provisions of Article IX hereof.

Section 3.5 Deposit and Disbursement of Funds Allocated to Triggering Event Period Reserve Funds; Excess Cash Reserve Fund. All amounts disbursed to Lender pursuant to Section 3.3.1 (i) hereof shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Excess Cash Reserve Fund”. The Excess Cash Reserve Fund shall be held by Lender in an Eligible Account (the “Excess Cash Reserve Account”) at the Cash Management Bank. The Excess Cash Reserve Fund shall not constitute trust funds and, at Lender’s option, may be (1) commingled with other monies held by Lender, or (2) be established as a separate account at the Cash Management Bank. The Excess Cash Reserve Fund may be (x) applied by Lender to any of the items for which any Reserve Fund was established, as determined by Lender, or (y) held in the Excess Cash Reserve Account as additional Collateral for the Loan. If on any Payment Date no Triggering Event Period is continuing, Lender shall, after the application of amounts held in the Excess Cash Reserve Fund in accordance with subsection (x) above, disburse the balance of the Excess Cash Reserve Fund to the Operating Account. In the event that a Triggering Event Period is continuing solely as the result of clause (b) of the Triggering Event definition, then, to the extent that there are insufficient funds in the Cash Management Account to pay in full all amounts required to be paid from the Cash Management Account as and when due and payable or insufficient funds in the

 

37


Cash Management Account to pay Operating Expenses or Extraordinary Expenses, Borrower may request that Lender allow funds then held in the Excess Cash Reserve Fund to be used to pay such shortfalls and Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such request.

Section 3.6 Borrower’s Obligation Not Affected. Subject to the last sentence of Section 3.5 and the provisions of Section 3.7, the failure of Borrower to pay the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, the Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits or any other amounts to Lender as and when the same become due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall constitute an Event of Default, and the insufficiency of funds on deposit in the Accounts shall not absolve Borrower of the obligation to make any such payments, and such obligations shall be separate and independent, and not conditioned on any event or circumstance whatsoever.

Section 3.7 Payments Received Under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower’s obligations with respect to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, the Monthly Reserve Fund Deposits, and any other escrows or reserves established pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and Borrower’s obligations to pay Basic Carrying Costs shall (provided Lender is not prohibited from withdrawing or applying any funds in the Accounts by applicable Law or otherwise) be deemed satisfied to the extent sufficient amounts are deposited in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account to satisfy such obligations on or before the date each such payment is required, regardless of whether any of such amounts are so applied by Lender.

IV. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.1 Borrower Representations.

Borrower represents and warrants as of the Closing Date that:

4.1.1. Organization. Borrower has been duly formed or organized, as applicable, and is validly existing and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which it is formed or organized, as applicable, with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations.

V. BORROWER COVENANTS

From the date hereof and until payment and performance in full of all obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

Section 5.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements; Insurance. Borrower shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, Licenses and comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to it and the Property. There shall never be committed by Borrower and Borrower shall not permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or any state or local government the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower shall at all times maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and trade names and preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its business and shall keep the Property in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereto to allow the Property to remain consistently competitive in its market. Borrower shall cause the Property to be insured at all times in accordance with the terms and conditions of Article VII hereof. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at Borrower’s expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower or the Property or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (ii) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any instrument to which Borrower

 

49


is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable statutes, Laws and ordinances; (iii) the Property and no part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (iv) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof comply with any such Legal Requirement determined to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (v) such proceeding shall suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower or the Property; and (vi) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure compliance with such Legal Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal Requirement is finally established or the Property (or any part thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.1, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control.

Section 5.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property prior to delinquency; provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to directly pay Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower complies with the terms and provisions of Section 9.2 hereof. Borrower will deliver to Lender receipts for payment or other evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes and Other Charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which the Taxes and/or Other Charges would otherwise be delinquent if not paid; provided, however, that (i) Borrower is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes and Other Charges in the event Taxes and Other Charges have been paid by Lender pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, and (ii) if the tenant under a Lease is required to pay such Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable Governmental Authority and Borrower timely requests and diligently pursues evidence of such payment, and further provided that no enforcement action has been commenced by the applicable Governmental Authority resulting from any tenant’s failure to pay Taxes or Other Charges, then Borrower shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to provide such evidence to Lender. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge against the Property (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay for or cause to be paid all utility services provided to the Property. After prior written notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any Lien, Taxes or Other Charges with respect to the Property, provided that the following conditions are satisfied: (a) no Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) Borrower is permitted to contest under the provisions of any document or agreement affecting the Property; (c) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in

 

50


accordance with all applicable statutes, Laws and ordinances; (d) neither the Property nor any interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (e) Borrower shall promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any such Lien, Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable in connection therewith; (f) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Lien, Taxes or Other Charges from the Property; and (g) Borrower shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be requested by Lender, to insure the payment of any such Lien, Taxes or Other Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such security or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or the Property (or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents being primed by any related Lien.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights explicitly set forth in such Lease in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.2, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control.

Section 5.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt written notice to Lender of any litigation or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against Borrower which might have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.4 Access to Property. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Borrower shall permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to conduct physical inspections of the Property to ensure Borrower is appropriately maintaining the Property. Following any such inspection, should Lender determine that the Property has not been maintained as required herein, Lender shall have the right to demand that Borrower complete corrective measures reasonably satisfactory to Lender within a thirty (30) day period of time; provided, however, that if Borrower shall notify Lender in writing prior to the expiration of such thirty (30) day period that such default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and that Borrower has commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period, and if Borrower thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such failure, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days or such longer period of time upon which Borrower and Lender mutually agree in writing (provided, however, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to such longer period of time if the failure is the responsibility of the tenant of the Property and Borrower, in its reasonable business judgment, does not want to declare a default under the corresponding Lease).

Section 5.5 Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of any material adverse change in Borrower’s condition, financial or otherwise, or of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default of which Borrower has knowledge.

 

51


Section 5.6 Cooperate in Legal Proceedings. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender with respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any way affect the rights of Lender hereunder or any rights obtained by Lender under any of the other Loan Documents and, in connection therewith, permit Lender, at its election, to participate in any such proceedings.

Section 5.7 Performance Under Loan Documents. Borrower shall observe, perform and satisfy all the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses to the extent required under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower, and shall not enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any amendment, waiver, supplement, termination or other modification of any Loan Document executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower without the prior written consent of Lender.

Section 5.8 Award and Insurance Benefits. Borrower shall cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any expenses incurred in connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by Borrower of the actual expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting the Property) out of such Award or Insurance Proceeds.

Section 5.9 Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense:

(a) furnish to Lender all instruments, documents, boundary surveys, footing or foundation surveys, certificates, plans and specifications, appraisals, title and other insurance reports and agreements, and each and every other document, certificate, agreement and instrument required to be furnished by Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents or reasonably requested by Lender in connection therewith;

(b) execute and deliver to Lender such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Collateral at any time securing or intended to secure the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents, as Lender may reasonably require including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of all such writings necessary to transfer any Licenses, as required by Lender, into the name of Lender or its designee after the occurrence of any Event of Default; and

(c) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as Lender shall reasonably require from time to time and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes and appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact to execute such documents and instruments in the name of and upon behalf of Borrower, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest; provided, however, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, Lender shall not exercise its right under such power of attorney until ten (10) Business Days after notice has been given by Lender to Borrower of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power of attorney.

 

52

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

(b) Borrower will furnish to Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of Borrower, a complete copy of Borrower’s annual financial statements covering the Property for such Fiscal Year and containing statements of profit and loss for Borrower and for the Property, and a balance sheet for Borrower. Such statements shall set forth the financial condition and the results of operations for the Property for such Fiscal Year, and shall include, but not be limited to, amounts representing annual Net Operating Income, Gross Income From Operations and Operating Expenses. Borrower’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower or SPC Party, as applicable, stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of Borrower and the Property and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender). To the extent that Borrower consists of more than one Person, such annual financial statements shall include an annual combined balance sheet of the Persons constituting Borrower (and no other Persons), together with the related combined statements of operations, and member’s capital, including a combining balance sheet and statement of income for the Property on a combined basis. Together with Borrower’s annual financial statements, Borrower shall furnish to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying as of the date thereof whether there exists a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

(e) On the Closing Date, Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget for the partial year period commencing on the Closing Date in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower shall submit to Lender an Annual Budget not later than sixty (60) days prior the commencement of each Fiscal Year in form reasonably satisfactory to Lender. During the continuance of a Triggering Event Period, the Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s prior written approval (each such Annual Budget, an “Approved Annual Budget”). In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted by Borrower which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, Lender shall advise Borrower of such objections within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise such Annual Budget and resubmit the same to Lender. Lender shall advise Borrower of any objections to such revised Annual Budget within ten (10) days after receipt thereof (and deliver to Borrower a reasonably detailed description of such objections) and Borrower shall promptly revise the same in accordance with the process described in this Section 5.10(e) until Lender approves the Annual Budget. Until such time that Lender approves a proposed Annual Budget which requires the approval of Lender hereunder, the most recently Approved Annual Budget or Annual Budget (as the case may be) shall apply; provided that, such Approved Annual Budget shall be adjusted to reflect actual increases in Basic Carrying Costs. During the continuance of any Triggering Event Period, in the event that Borrower must incur an Extraordinary Expense, then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender a reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s prior written approval.

(f) Borrower will furnish or cause to be furnished to Lender annually, within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of each Fiscal Year of each Guarantor, a complete copy of each Guarantor’s annual financial statements audited by an Approved Accountant containing statements of profit and loss and a balance sheet for each Guarantor. Each Guarantor’s annual financial statements shall be accompanied by (i) a certificate executed by such Guarantor (if Guarantor is a natural person) or by the chief financial officer of such Guarantor (if such Guarantor is not a natural person) stating that each such annual financial statement presents fairly the financial condition and the results of operations of such Guarantor being reported upon, and has been prepared in accordance with GAAP (or such other accounting basis acceptable to Lender), and (ii) an unqualified opinion of an Approved Accountant. Together with each Guarantor’s annual financial statements, Borrower will furnish or cause such Guarantor to furnish to Lender an Officer’s Certificate certifying as of the date thereof whether there exists a Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, such Guarantor, and if such Default or Event of Default exists, the nature thereof, the period of time it has existed and the action then being taken to remedy the same.

Borrower irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under any applicable Laws to prohibit such disclosure, including, but not limited, to any right of privacy.

(l) Upon request, Borrower shall furnish to Lender from time to time such financial, statistical and operating data and financial statements with respect to Borrower or Guarantor (including, to the extent applicable, financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP and audited by an Approved Accountant), in each case, as Lender reasonably determines to be required in order to comply with any applicable Legal Requirements (including those applicable to Lender or any Servicer (including, without limitation and to the extent applicable, Regulation AB)), within the time frames necessary in order to comply with such Legal Requirements.

(i) extend any Lease or enter into any new or renewal Lease affecting the Property (except for extension or renewal that may be exercised in the tenant’s discretion); provided, however, so long as there exists no Event of Default, no such approval of Lender shall be required if: (A) such Lease is not a Major Lease, (B) such Lease complies with the Leasing Requirements; (C) an executed copy of such Lease shall be furnished to Lender within ten (10) Business Days after its execution; and (D) such Lease provides that upon Borrower’s request the tenant thereunder shall subordinate such Lease to the Security Instrument and shall agree to attorn to Lender and such subordination and attornment shall be evidenced by a written agreement executed by such tenant in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (such subordination and attornment may be conditioned on Lender entering into a nondisturbance agreement with respect to such Lease);

(c) Whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.17, Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval or consent, accompanied by the applicable Lease or other item for which consent is sought. If Lender fails to respond to such request within ten (10) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Lender shall be deemed to have approved or consented to such Lease or other item for which consent is sought if Lender fails to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day period.

If the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to any alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed the Alteration Threshold, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender as security for the payment of such amounts (the “Alteration Security”) and as additional security for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents any of the following as determined by Borrower: (i) cash, (ii) U.S. Obligations, (iii) other securities acceptable to Lender, (provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same if the Loan or any interest therein is included in a Securitization), or (iv) a completion bond (provided that Lender shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation as to the form and issuer of same if the Loan or any interest therein is included in a Securitization) or an irrevocable letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by an Eligible Institution. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts incurred and to be incurred with respect to such alterations to the Improvements (other than such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Alteration Threshold. All alterations by Borrower to any Improvements shall be made lien-free and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with all Legal Requirements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.18(a), to the extent the Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its Lease, such tenant shall have the right to perform any alterations permitted by such Lease (which do not require Borrower’s consent or for which such consent was obtained from Borrower prior to the Closing Date and Borrower has advised Lender in writing of such consent) in accordance with the express terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 5.18(a), the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern and control.

Section 5.19 Access Laws.

(a) Borrower agrees that the Property shall at all times comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Access Laws.

(b) Notwithstanding any provisions set forth herein or in any other document regarding Lender’s approval of alterations of the Property, Borrower shall not alter the Property in any manner which would increase Borrower’s responsibilities for compliance with the applicable Access Laws without the prior written approval of Lender. The foregoing shall apply to tenant improvements constructed by Borrower or by any of its tenants to the extent Borrower’s consent to such improvements is required under the terms of the applicable Leases. Lender may condition any such approval upon receipt of a certificate of an architect, engineer or other person acceptable to Lender regarding compliance with applicable Access Laws.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any complaints related to any violations of any Access Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with applicable Access Laws.

Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, Borrower shall deliver evidence satisfactory to Lender of the renewal of all of the Policies or that the Policies have been replaced by other Policies. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to delinquency of payment of the premiums or assessments due under the Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”), Borrower shall deliver to Lender evidence of such payment; provided, however, that Borrower is not required to furnish such evidence of payment of Insurance Premiums to the extent that such Insurance Premiums have been paid by Lender pursuant to the terms of Section 9.2 hereof.

(c) Borrower shall not obtain (i) any umbrella or blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance in writing by Lender and Lender’s interest is included therein as provided in this Agreement and such Policy is issued by an insurance company satisfying the requirements of Section 7.1(b) or (ii) separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Section 7.1(a) hereof

 

70


to be furnished by, or which may be required to be furnished by, Borrower. In the event Borrower obtains separate insurance or an umbrella or a blanket policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certified copies of each Policy to be delivered as required in Section 7.1(a) hereof. Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.1(a) hereof.

(d) All Policies provided for or contemplated by Section 7.1 (a) hereof, except for the Policy referenced in Section 7.1(a)(v) hereof, shall name Lender and Borrower as the insured or additional insured, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance, shall contain a non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e) All Policies provided for in Section 7.1(a) hereof shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for Borrower, or any tenant under any Lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned; and

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if liability insurance is provided by a separate Policy, then the foregoing endorsement shall not be required and in such event Borrower (and not the insurer) shall give Lender the notice required by this subsection.

(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence, in the form of a Policy or Acord Certificate acceptable to Lender, that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, after five (5) Business Days prior notice to Borrower (unless Lender has a reasonable belief that one or more of the Policies is not in full force and effect or will expire in less than five (5) Business Days) to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Security Instrument and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In the event Lender obtains insurance coverage on behalf of Borrower pursuant to this subsection (f), Borrower shall be permitted to cancel such insurance coverages provided Borrower has delivered to Lender evidence of Borrower’s compliance with this Article 7.

(g) In the event of a foreclosure of the Security Instrument, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the Policies then in force (other than (i) those Policies that are not solely covering the Property, (ii) liability Policies or (iii) Policies maintained by a Tenant) and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

71


(h) Intentionally Omitted.

(i) If insurance for earthquake or special hazards is obtained by Borrower in its sole discretion and without requirement of Lender, then Borrower, when obtaining such insurance coverage, shall meet the insurance requirements hereof except as to matters requiring Lender’s further approval, and such insurance coverage: (A) shall be within the meaning of a “Policy” or “Policies”; and (B) shall be for the benefit of Lender and all proceeds thereof constitute additional security for the Debt, and Lender shall have all rights with respect to and be entitled to receive all proceeds in the same manner it would receive any Insurance Proceeds in the event the Property is damaged or destroyed by a Casualty or by any risk or loss insured against.

(j) Any failure by Lender to insist on full compliance with all of the above insurance requirements at closing does not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to subsequently require full compliance with these requirements.

(k) As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 7.1, Borrower will not be in default under this Section 7.1 if Borrower maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy, a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Borrower shall have (1) received Lender’s prior written consent thereto and (2) if required by Lender, confirmed that Lender has received a Rating Agency Confirmation with respect to any such Non-Conforming Policy.

(l) Borrower hereby represents that, as of the date hereof, none of the insurance policies required in this Section 7.1 which require coverage for terrorism, except those required under clauses (viii) and (ix) of Section 7.1(a) (such insurance policies, the “Applicable Policies”) exclude coverage for Acts of Terror (defined below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that, after the date hereof, any Applicable Policy (other than those required under clauses (viii) and (ix) of Section 7.1(a)) excludes coverage for Acts of Terror, Borrower shall obtain and maintain (or cause to be obtained and maintained) coverage for such excluded Acts of Terror (the “Terrorism Coverage”), which such Terrorism Coverage shall comply with each of the applicable requirements for Policies set forth above (including, without limitation, those relating to deductibles); provided, that, Lender, at Lender’s option, may reasonably require Borrower to obtain or cause to be obtained the Terrorism Coverage with higher deductibles than set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Borrower be required to pay annual premiums in excess of the TC Cap (defined below) in order to obtain the Terrorism Coverage (but Borrower shall be obligated to purchase such portion of the Terrorism Coverage as is obtainable by payment of annual premiums equal to the TC Cap). As used above, “Acts of Terror” shall mean acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage; provided, that, for so long as the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as extended and modified by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Authorization Act of 2007 (as the same may be further

 

72


modified, amended, or extended, “TRIA”) (i) remains in full force and effect and (ii) continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts of terror, the provisions of TRIA shall determine what is deemed to be included within this definition of “Acts of Terror”. As used above, “TC Cap” shall mean two times the amount of the Insurance Premiums that are payable at such time in respect of the casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance required hereunder (without giving effect to the cost of terrorism and earthquake components of such casualty and business interruption/rental loss insurance).

(m) Lender hereby agrees that the Policies maintained by Borrower as of the date hereof (including any Non-Conforming Policies) are acceptable and satisfy the requirements set forth in this Article 7.

Section 7.2 Casualty. If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender (provided that such notice shall not be required if the estimated cost to restore are less than $100,000) and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 7.4 hereof. Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. Lender shall have the right, at its option, to participate in any settlement discussions with respect to any claims under any Policy and Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Lender shall have the right, at its option, to approve the final settlement with respect to any Casualty in which Net Proceeds or the costs to complete the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold. If an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the exclusive right, at its option, to settle or adjust any claims made under the Policies in the event of a Casualty.

Section 7.3 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any part of the Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Lender shall have the right, at its option, to approve the final settlement with respect to any Condemnation in which Net Proceeds or the costs to complete the Restoration are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold. If a an Event of Default exists, Lender shall have the exclusive right, at its option, to settle any Award in the event of a Condemnation. Borrower shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate

 

73


or rates provided herein or in the Note. If the Property is taken by a condemning authority, Borrower shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.

Section 7.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

(a) Subject to Section 7.4(d) hereof, if the Net Proceeds shall be less than the Restoration Threshold and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, then the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b) Subject to Section 7.4(d) hereof, if the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold or the cost of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, then Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (1) the net amount of all insurance proceeds payable to or for the benefit of Borrower as a result of a Casualty to the Property, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting such insurance proceeds (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (2) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses), if any, in collecting such Award (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.

(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than ninety (90%) of the total rentable space in the Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the

 

74

(D) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the issuance of a building permit with respect thereto) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion in compliance with all applicable Laws, including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws;

(E) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii) or (3) by other funds of Borrower;

(F) unless Lender is satisfied that, upon completion of the Restoration, the Property shall be restored to substantially the same or better condition than prior to the Casualty or Condemnation, Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration, the Loan to Value Ratio of the Property shall be no greater than 60% and the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the Property shall be 1.50 or greater;

(G) Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, or (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Leases which are required in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) to remain in effect subsequent to the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation and the completion of the Restoration, or (3) such time as may be required under Applicable Law, in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, or (4) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii);

(H) Borrower and Guarantor shall execute and deliver to Lender a completion guaranty in form and substance satisfactory to Lender pursuant to the provisions of which Borrower and Guarantor shall jointly and severally guaranty to Lender the Lien-free completion by Borrower of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b);

(I) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in material compliance with and permitted under all applicable Laws;

(L) the Net Proceeds together with any Cash or Cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration; and

(M) the Management Agreement in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall (1) remain in full force and effect during the Restoration and shall not otherwise terminate as a result of the Casualty or Condemnation or the Restoration or (2) if terminated, shall have been replaced with a manager acceptable to Lender, prior to the opening or reopening of the Property for business with the public.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in an interest-bearing Eligible Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Subject to Section 7.4(d) hereof, the Net Proceeds (except for Insurance Proceeds from the insurance coverage referred to in Section 7.1(a)(iii)) shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmen’s Liens, construction Liens, or notices of intention to file same, or any other Liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property which have not either been fully bonded to the satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy.

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all Licenses required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s reasonable fees, shall be paid by Borrower.

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean an amount equal to ten percent

 

76


(10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that Net Proceeds representing 50% of the required Restoration have been disbursed. There shall be no Casualty Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 7.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.4(d) hereof, Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the Lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy, and Lender receives an endorsement to such Title Insurance Policy insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Security Instrument and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, if any, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 7.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations.

(vii) Subject to Section 7.4(d) hereof, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, and provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower within five (5) Business Days thereafter.

 

77


(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrower for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, the Lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 7.4 hereof, in the event that the Loan or any interest therein is included in a Securitization, and if immediately following the release of the Property from the Lien of any Security Instrument as a result of any Condemnation, the Real Property Value to Loan Ratio is not at least eighty percent (80%), then all of the net proceeds realized by Borrower for purposes of computing gain or loss under Section 1001 of the Code as a result of such Condemnation shall be applied to the principal amount of the Debt if and to the extent necessary for the Loan to remain a “qualified mortgage” in accordance with the requirements of Section 860(G)(a)(3) of the Code, and any then applicable U.S. Department of Treasury regulations or revenue procedures issued pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, to the extent then applicable to any REMIC Trust, Revenue Procedure 2010-30. In Lender’s discretion, Lender may require a REMIC Opinion in connection with any such Condemnation.

Except for duties to such entity (and, in the case of an SPC Party, duties to Borrower) as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence (including duties to creditors solely to the extent of their respective economic interest in Borrower or an SPC Party, but excluding (i) all other interests of such entity, (ii) the interests of other Affiliates of such entity, and (iii) the interests of any group of Affiliates of which such entity is a part), no Independent Director shall have a fiduciary duty to the entity, any other member or director of such entity, or to Borrower or any other Person; provided, however, the foregoing shall not eliminate the implied contractual covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

(f) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no Independent Director shall resign or be removed or replaced, and the organizational documents of any Single Purpose Entity shall state that no Independent Director shall resign or be removed or replaced, in each case unless Lender and the Rating Agencies receive not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of (i) any proposed resignation or removal or replacement of such Independent Director, and (ii) the identity of the proposed replacement Independent Director, together with evidence satisfactory to Lender that such replacement satisfies the applicable requirements to be an Independent Director, in each case except for removal of an Independent Director by reason of (y) acts or omissions by such Independent Director that constitute willful disregard of such Independent Director’s duties, in accordance with the standards set forth herein, or (z) such Independent Director having engaged in or having been charged with, or having been convicted of, fraud or other acts constituting a crime under any applicable Law, in which case a replacement Independent Director shall be identified and elected or appointed within five (5) Business Days after Borrower (or, if applicable, such SPC Party) knew thereof.

IX. RESERVE FUNDS

Section 9.1 Reserve Funds and Reserve Accounts Generally.

(a) On the Closing Date, each of the Reserve Accounts shall be established by Lender in an Eligible Account at an Eligible Institution. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and, at Lender’s option, the Reserve Funds may be (i) commingled with other monies held by Lender, or (ii) established as one or more separate accounts at an Eligible Institution (which may include one or more book-entry sub-accounts as deemed necessary by Lender).

(b) Borrower shall pay Lender the Disbursement Fee as a condition to each disbursement from the Reserve Accounts (other than the Tax and Insurance Escrow Account), as compensation for Lender’s review, analysis and processing of such disbursement.

(c) Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all persons or entities supplying labor or materials in connection with the Required Repairs; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured

(d) Each Reserve Fund and each Reserve Account shall be subject to the additional terms and conditions set forth in Article XII hereof.

Section 9.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) a percentage of the Taxes (the “Monthly Tax Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to ratably accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective delinquency dates and (b) a percentage of the Insurance Premiums (the “Monthly Insurance Premium Deposit”) that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to ratably accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund”), which Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall be deposited by Lender into an Account established to hold such fund (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1(b) hereof. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale,

 

86


forfeiture, tax Lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.2 and 7.1(b) hereof, respectively, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund. In allocating such excess, Lender may communicate with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender agrees to waive the Monthly Tax Deposit and the Monthly Insurance Deposit so long as no Triggering Event has occurred and is continuing. Upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event, the foregoing waiver shall terminate (until the Triggering Event Period terminates) and Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within thirty (30) days after the occurrence of any Triggering Event a lump sum amount into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, which amount, together with future Monthly Tax Deposits and future Monthly Insurance Deposits, shall be sufficient to pay all Taxes prior to delinquency and all Insurance Premiums when the same next become due.

Section 9.3 Early Lease Termination Reserve. If any tenant (a “Terminating Tenant”) gives notice to Borrower that it is exercising an early termination option set forth in its Lease with Borrower, or if Borrower agrees to allow any tenant to reduce or terminate its obligations under its Lease (subject, in each case, to the restrictions of Section 5.17 hereof), Borrower shall direct such tenant that any Lease Termination Payment in connection therewith, which exceeds $100,000.00, is to be remitted to Lender or, if a Triggering Event Period shall then be in effect, such Lease Termination Payment in excess of $100,000.00 shall be deposited in the Lockbox Account), for application as set forth below. If such tenant remits the Lease Termination Payment in excess of $100,000.00 directly to Borrower, Borrower shall remit the Lease Termination Payment to Lender, for application as set forth below. Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Early Lease Termination Reserve Fund”, which Early Lease Termination Reserve Fund shall be deposited by Lender in an Account established by Lender to hold such funds (the “Early Lease Termination Reserve Account”). A separate Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be maintained with respect to each Lease so terminated. Funds deposited in an Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be disbursed as follows:

9.3.1. Disbursements for Qualified Replacement Lease for Entire Vacated Space. If Borrower enters into a Qualified Replacement Lease for the entire premises previously demised under the Lease so terminated (the “Vacated Space”), and the tenant under such Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, then all funds in the applicable Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be used first to pay TILC Costs with respect to such Qualified Replacement Lease upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.17 hereof; any funds remaining in the applicable Early Lease Termination Reserve Account after payment of all TILC Costs with respect thereto shall be disbursed to Borrower as follows: (x) if the monthly net rent payable

 

87


under the Qualified Replacement Lease is greater than or equal to the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, such funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the monthly net rent payable under the Qualified Replacement Lease is less than the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant under its Lease as of the date of such termination, then, provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing, all funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments over the remaining term of the Qualified Replacement Lease, until such time as all funds have been disbursed from the applicable Early Lease Termination Reserve.

9.3.2. Disbursements for Qualified Replacement Lease for Less Than Entire Vacated Space. If Borrower enters into one or more Leases each for less than the entire Vacated Space, no disbursements shall be permitted from the Early Lease Termination Reserve except as follows:

(a) Until such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to one or more Qualified Replacement Leases, and the tenant under each such Qualified Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof, is open for business and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, Lender shall from time to time, within ten (10) days after receipt of written request from Borrower, make disbursements on account of TILC Costs with respect to the Vacated Space, provided, however, that the disbursements with respect to any portion of the Vacated Space on a per-square foot basis shall not exceed the amount of the Early Lease Termination Payment on a per-square-foot basis; and

(b) At such time as the entire Vacated Space has been re-leased pursuant to one or more Qualified Replacement Leases and the tenant under each such Qualified Replacement Lease accepts such demised premises, takes occupancy thereof, opens for business and commences the payment of base rent under its Lease, then after payment of all TILC Costs with respect to the re-leasing of such Vacated Space, the funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve shall be disbursed as follows: (x) if the monthly aggregate net rents payable under all such Qualified Replacement Leases is greater than or equal to the monthly rent payable by the Terminating Tenant, and the term of all such Qualified Replacement Leases extends to or beyond the scheduled expiration date of the Lease with the Terminating Tenant, then provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower; and (y) if the conditions of clause (x) are not satisfied, then provided no Default or Event of Default is then continuing such funds remaining in the Early Lease Termination Reserve Account shall be disbursed to Borrower in equal monthly installments over the period that would have remaining in the term of the Lease with the Terminating Tenant.

(b) Lender reserves the right, at its option, to approve all contracts or work orders with materialmen, mechanics, suppliers, subcontractors, contractors or other parties providing labor or materials in connection with the Required Repairs, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Upon Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign any contract or subcontract to Lender.

(c) In the event Lender determines in its reasonable discretion that any Required Repair is not being performed in a workmanlike or timely manner or that any Required Repair has not been completed in a workmanlike or timely manner, Lender shall have the option to proceed under existing contracts or to contract with third parties to complete such Required Repair, upon providing prior notice to Borrower.

Such right of entry shall be subject to the rights of the tenants under the Leases. All sums so expended by Lender shall be deemed to have been advanced under the Loan to Borrower and secured by the Security Instrument. For this purpose Borrower constitutes and appoints Lender its true and lawful attorney in fact with full power of substitution to complete or undertake the Required Repair in the name of Borrower. Such power of attorney shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Borrower empowers said attorney in fact as follows: (i) to make such additions, changes and corrections to the Required Repairs as shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Required Repairs; (ii) to employ such contractors, subcontractors, agents, architects and inspectors as shall be required for such purposes; (iii) to pay, settle or compromise all existing bills and claims which are or may become Liens against the Property, or as may be necessary or desirable for the completion of the Required Repairs, or for clearance of title; (iv) to execute all applications and certificates in the name of Borrower which may be required by any of the contract documents; (v) to prosecute and defend all actions or proceedings in connection with the Property or the rehabilitation and repair of the Property; and (vi) to do any and every act which Borrower might do in its own behalf to fulfill the terms of this Agreement.

(e) Nothing in this Section 9.4.1 shall: (i) make Lender responsible for making or completing the Required Repairs; (ii) require Lender to expend funds to make or complete any Required Repair; (iii) obligate Lender to proceed with the Required Repairs; or (iv) obligate Lender to demand from Borrower additional sums to make or complete any Required Repair.

Borrower shall cause all contractors and subcontractors to cooperate with Lender or Lender’s representatives or such other persons described above in connection with inspections described in this Section 9.4.1(f) or the completion of Required Repairs pursuant to this Section 9.4.1.

 

89

Section 10.2 Remedies.

(a) Subject to the terms of Section 11.3, 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 this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Property, or any other Collateral. Subject to the terms of Section 11.3, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued separately and independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such

 

94


time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by Law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest extent permitted by Law, (i) Lender is not subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” Law or rule and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property, and the other Collateral and each Security Instrument has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Property, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to the Property or any other Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in preference or priority to the Property, or any other Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of the Property, or all of the other Collateral or any part thereof, in its discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Security Instrument in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Security Instrument then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire outstanding principal balance of the Loan, Lender may foreclose the Security Instrument to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Security Instrument as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Property shall remain subject to the Security Instrument to secure payment of sums secured by the Security Instrument and not previously recovered, to the fullest extent permitted by Law.

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 11.3 and the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Provided no Event of Default shall then exist, Borrower shall be not obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, other than Borrower’s attorneys fees.

Section 10.3 Remedies Cumulative; Waivers.

The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and, subject to Section 11.3, not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

98


firms, accounting firms, law firms and other third-party advisory firms involved with the Loan Documents or the applicable Secondary Market Transaction. It is understood that the Provided Information may ultimately be incorporated into any offering document (“Disclosure Document”) for the Secondary Market Transaction, and also may be included in filings (an “Exchange Act Filing”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and thus any actual or potential purchaser, transferee, assignee, Servicer, participant or Investor in a Secondary Market Transaction may also see some or all of the Provided Information. Subject to Section 13.20 hereof, each of Borrower and each Guarantor irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have under any applicable Laws (including, without limitation, any right of privacy) to prohibit such disclosure. Lender and all of the aforesaid third-party advisors and professional firms shall be entitled to rely on the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower or any Guarantor. Borrower and each Guarantor hereby indemnify the Underwriter Group as to any Liabilities to which the Underwriter Group may become subject in connection with any Disclosure Document and/or any Covered Rating Agency Information, in each case, insofar as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Borrower Provided Information and/or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state a material fact in the Borrower Provided Information required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the applicable Disclosure Document and/or Covered Rating Agency Information in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, such indemnity shall only apply to the extent that any such Liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with the Borrower Provided Information or information (other than the Property Information unless Borrower has actual knowledge that any such Property Information is inaccurate in any material respect) supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower or any Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower and furnished to Lender in connection with the preparation of any Disclosure Document or in connection with underwriting or closing of the Loan. The aforesaid indemnity will be in addition to any liability which Borrower or Guarantor may otherwise have; provided, however, such indemnification shall only be effective to the extent Lender accurately states the information supplied by, or on behalf of, Borrower or any Guarantor, or any Affiliate of Borrower or any Guarantor, in the Disclosure Document.

99

(4) Borrower, SPC Party, any Guarantor, or any Affiliate of Borrower, SPC Party or any Guarantor institutes a judicial action which contests Lender’s exercise of remedies provided under the Loan Documents after the occurrence of an Event of Default (except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction makes a final determination that Borrower, SPC Party, any Guarantor or any Affiliate of Borrower, SPC Party or any Guarantor had a valid legal basis for any such action).

Section 11.4 Servicer.

(a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer or trustee (any such master servicer, primary servicer, special servicer or trustee, together with their respective agents, nominees or designees, are collectively referred to as “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer. Upon the appointment of a Servicer, to the extent of the delegation to such Servicer, the term “Lender” shall be deemed to include the “Servicer”. Borrower shall not be responsible for (i) any set-up fees, or any other initial costs relating to the appointment of any Servicer, or (ii) payment of the monthly servicing fee due to Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable consent, review and processing fees of Servicer and any related third party costs, (ii) any liquidation fees that may be due Servicer in connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under the Loan Documents, (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any workout fees and special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer, which fees may be due on a periodic or continuing basis and (iv) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the costs of all property inspection and/or appraisals of the Property (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) required under this Agreement or that a Servicer may otherwise require under the Servicing Agreement (other than the cost of annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement) (the “Servicing Fee”).

(b) Borrower acknowledges that, as part of a Securitization, the parties to a Securitization may, in their sole discretion, elect to impose certain requirements as conditions precedent to certain actions by one or more of the Servicers (including, without limitation, that such Servicer obtain either or both of the approval of one or more Investors (or representatives of one or more Investors) as to certain proposed actions, and/or Rating Agency Confirmation). No requirement or condition imposed upon such Servicer pursuant to any Securitization as a condition precedent to the granting or denying of any consent or approval, or the taking or refusal to take of any action, pursuant to this Agreement (except only for any action required of Lender hereunder) shall give rise to any claim or cause of action by Borrower against Lender, or give Borrower any defense for failure to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

103


Section 11.5 Conversion to Registered Form. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall appoint, as its agent, a registrar and transfer agent (the “Registrar”) reasonably acceptable to Lender which, subject to such reasonable regulations as Lender shall provide, shall maintain such books and records as are necessary for the registration and transfer of the Note in a manner that shall cause the Note to be considered to be in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code. The option to convert the Note into registered form once exercised may not be revoked. Any agreement setting out the rights and obligations of the Registrar shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Lender. Borrower may revoke the appointment of any person as Registrar, effective upon the effectiveness of the appointment of a replacement Registrar, which shall also be reasonably acceptable to Lender. The Registrar shall not be entitled to any fee from Borrower or Lender or any other lender in respect of transfers of the Note and other Loan Documents.

Section 11.6 Mezzanine Financing. In connection with any Secondary Market Transaction, Lender shall have the right at any time to divide the Loan into two or more parts: a mortgage loan (the “Mortgage Loan”) and one or more mezzanine loans (the “Mezzanine Loan(s)”). The principal amount of the Mortgage Loan plus the principal amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s). In effectuating the foregoing, Mezzanine Lender will make a loan to borrower(s) (the “Mezzanine Borrower(s)”) and Mezzanine Borrower(s) will contribute the amount of the Mezzanine Loan(s) to Borrower and Borrower will apply the contribution to pay down the Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) will be on the same terms and subject to the same conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Note, each Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents except as follows:

(a) Lender shall have the right to establish different interest rates and debt service payments for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) the total loan amounts for the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall equal the amount of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), (ii) the weighted average interest rate of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s) shall initially on the date created equal the interest rate which was applicable to the Loan immediately prior to creation of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s), (iii) the aggregate amount of any scheduled amortization payments under such component notes does not exceed the aggregate of any scheduled amortization payments required under this Agreement, (iv) the amount of the scheduled monthly amortization payments under such component notes does not exceed the amount of any scheduled monthly amortization payments required under this Agreement, (v) the stated interest rate under such component notes are fixed rates, and (vi) the stated maturity date under such component notes are the Scheduled Maturity Date.

The Mezzanine Loan(s) will be made pursuant to Lender’s standard mezzanine loan documents, subject to such changes as Borrower may reasonably require. The Mezzanine Loan(s) will be subordinate to the Mortgage Loan and will be governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement between the holders of the Mortgage Loan and the Mezzanine Loan(s).

 

104


(b) Mezzanine Borrower(s) shall (i) be a special purpose, bankruptcy remote entity which conforms to applicable Rating Agency criteria and is otherwise acceptable to Lender and (ii) own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of Borrower. The security for the Mezzanine Loan shall be a pledge of one hundred percent (100%) of the direct and indirect ownership interests in Borrower.

(c) Mezzanine Borrower(s) and Borrower shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to divide the Loan into a Mortgage Loan and one or more Mezzanine Loan(s) and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection therewith, including, without limitation, (i) the delivery of non-consolidation opinions, (ii) the modification of organizational documents and Loan Documents (including, without limitation, opting into Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of organization of Borrower and the certification of any collateral securing the Mezzanine Loan(s), (iii) authorize Lender to file any financing statements required by the Uniform Commercial Code of the state of Borrower’s organization required to perfect its security interest in the collateral pledged as security for the Mezzanine Loan(s), (iv) execute such other documents reasonably required by Lender in connection with the creation of the Mezzanine Loan(s), including, without limitation, a guaranty substantially similar in form and substance to the Guaranty delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan, an environmental indemnity substantially similar in form and substance to the Environmental Indemnity delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan and a conditional assignment of management agreement substantially similar in form and substance to the Assignment of Management Agreement delivered on the date hereof in connection with the Loan, (v) deliver appropriate authorization, execution and enforceability opinions with respect to the Mezzanine Loan(s) and amendments to the Mortgage Loan, and (vi) deliver an “Eagle 9” or equivalent Uniform Commercial Code title insurance policy, satisfactory to Lender, insuring the perfection and priority of the Lien on the collateral pledged as security for the Mezzanine Loan(s).

(d) All third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender, Borrower or any Guarantor in connection with Borrower’s or each Guarantor’s complying with requests made under this Section 11.6, including, without limitation, Uniform Commercial Code title insurance premiums, shall be paid by Lender.

(e) Anything in this Section 11.6 to the contrary notwithstanding, any amendment, agreement or indemnification or other action required pursuant to this Section 11.6 shall not (i) increase the interest rate payable hereunder (except as specifically set forth in Section 11.6(a) hereof); (ii) modify the Maturity Date; (iii) require any principal amortization payments on the Note (except as specifically set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 11.6); (iv) decrease the time periods during which Borrower is permitted to perform Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents; (v) modify any other material term or provision of the Loan Documents; (vi) increase Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents or decrease Borrower’s rights under the Loan Documents; or (vii) result in any other economic charge or other change, adverse in any respect, other than out-of-pocket costs for Borrower’s legal fees relating to any such transaction.

Borrower hereby grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Accounts and the Account Collateral, as additional security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Accounts shall constitute additional security for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations.

Section 12.5 No Other Security Interest. Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any

 

106

Section 12.6 Change of Account Names. In the event Lender transfers or assigns the Loan, Borrower acknowledges that each applicable Eligible Institution at which any Account has been established, at Lender’s request, shall change the name of such Account to the name of the transferee, beneficiary or assignee, as applicable. In the event Lender retains a Servicer to service the Loan, Borrower acknowledges that each such Eligible Institution, at Lender’s request, shall change the name of each Account to the name of the Servicer, as agent for Lender.

Section 12.7 Rights on Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall promptly notify each Eligible Institution at which any Account has been established, in writing of such Event of Default and, without notice from Lender or any such Eligible Institution to Borrower, (a) Borrower shall have no rights in respect of (including, without limitation, the right to instruct any such Eligible Institution to transfer from) the Accounts, (b) Lender may direct any such Eligible Institution to liquidate and transfer any amounts then invested in Permitted Investments to the Accounts or reinvest such amounts in other Permitted Investments as Lender may determine is necessary to perfect or protect any security interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or pursuant to the other Loan Documents or to such Eligible Institution, as agent for Lender, or Lender, to exercise and enforce Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document with respect to any Account or any Account Collateral, (c) Lender shall have all rights and remedies with respect to Account Collateral as described in this Agreement and in the Security Instrument, in addition to all of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the UCC and (d) Lender may apply the Account Collateral to the payment of the Debt, in such order, manner, amounts, times and priority as Lender in its sole discretion determines (including to the payment of the items for which the Reserve Funds or the Triggering Event Period Reserve Funds were established, if Lender so elects in its sole discretion), and such reserved rights shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided to Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 12.8 Limitations on Liability of Lender.

(a) Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof or as otherwise expressly provided herein, Lender shall have no duty with respect to any Account Collateral in its possession or control, or any income thereon or the preservation of rights against any Person or otherwise with respect thereto. Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any such Account Collateral if such Account Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which Lender accords its own property, it being understood and agreed that Lender shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Account Collateral, or for any diminution in value thereof, by reason of any act or omission of Lender, its Affiliates, agents, employees or bailees, except to the extent such loss or damage results from Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, provided that nothing in this Section 12.8(a) shall be deemed to relieve Lender from the duties and standard of care which, as a commercial bank, it generally owes to depositors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall have no liability to any Person based upon

 

107


its errors in judgment, its performance of its duties with respect to any of the Account Collateral under this Agreement, any claimed failure to perform such duties, any action taken or omitted in good faith or any mistake of fact or Law; provided that Lender shall be liable for damages arising out of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(b) The duties of Lender in its capacity as the holder of any Account Collateral in its possession or control pursuant to this Agreement are purely ministerial. In such capacity, Lender is acting as a stakeholder for the accommodation of Borrower and is not responsible or liable in any manner whatsoever related to any signature, notice, resolution, request, waiver, consent, receipt, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper or document pursuant to which Lender may act with respect to any such Account Collateral, including, without limitation, terms and conditions, sufficiency, correctness, genuineness, validity, form of execution, or the identity, authority or right of any person executing or depositing the same. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender shall be protected in acting upon any signature, notice, resolution, request, waiver, consent, receipt, order, certificate, report, opinion, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine, and Lender may assume that any Person purporting to act on behalf of Borrower giving any of the foregoing in connection with any Account Collateral in Lender’s possession or control has been duly authorized to do so. Lender may consult with counsel, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any such action taken or suffered by Lender in good faith in accordance herewith.

(c) Lender shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any cash, instruments, wire transfer or any other property delivered to it hereunder, for the value or collectability of any check or other instrument so delivered or for any representation made or obligations assumed by Borrower or any other party to the Loan Documents. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to obligate Lender to deliver any cash or any other funds or property referred to herein, unless the same shall have first been received by Lender pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 12.9 Indemnity. Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Indemnified Parties harmless against any Liabilities which any Indemnified Party may incur arising from or related in any way to any and all actions taken by Lender with respect to any Account Collateral in its possession or control, and any claims or demands asserted against Lender arising out of any such Account Collateral, excepting only any such claims or demands arising out of Lender’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. The amount of any such Liabilities shall bear interest at the Applicable Interest Rate, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case the amount of any such Liabilities shall bear interest at the Default Rate, from the date any such Liabilities are incurred to the date of payment to the Indemnified Party, shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the Lien of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand therefor.

Section 12.10 Disbursement of Disputed Funds. In the event any adverse claims are made upon the funds in any Account Collateral in the possession or control of Lender, then, at Lender’s option: (a) Lender shall not deliver such Account Collateral to any Person, shall refuse to comply with any claims on it and shall continue to hold such Account Collateral until (i)

 

108


Lender, Borrower and any other Person who may have asserted a claim upon any such Account Collateral shall agree in writing to a delivery of such Account Collateral, in which event Lender shall then deliver such Account Collateral in accordance with such written agreement, or (ii) Lender receives a certified copy of a final and non-appealable judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the delivery of such Account Collateral, in which event Lender shall then deliver such Account Collateral in accordance with such judgment or order; or (b) if Lender shall receive a written notice advising that litigation over any Account Collateral has been commenced, Lender may deposit such Account Collateral with the Clerk of the Court in which such litigation is pending; or (c) Lender may take affirmative steps to (i) substitute for itself an impartial party reasonably satisfactory to Lender and Borrower, (ii) deposit such Account Collateral with a court of competent jurisdiction, or (iii) commence an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be borne by Borrower.

No party other than Lender shall be entitled to draw on any such Letter of Credit. In the event that any disbursement of any Reserve Funds relates to a portion thereof provided through a Letter of Credit, any “disbursement” of said funds as provided above shall be deemed to refer to (i) Borrower providing Lender a replacement Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the original Letter of Credit posted less the amount of the applicable disbursement provided hereunder and (ii) Lender, after receiving such replacement Letter of Credit, returning such original Letter of Credit to Borrower; provided, that, no replacement Letter of Credit shall be required with respect to the final disbursement of the applicable Reserve Funds such that no further sums are required to be deposited in the applicable Reserve Funds.

(b) Each Letter of Credit delivered hereunder shall be additional security for the payment of the Debt. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right, at its option, to draw on any Letter of Credit and to apply all or any part thereof to the payment of the items for which such Letter of Credit was established or to apply each such Letter of Credit to payment of the Debt in such order, proportion or priority as Lender may determine. Any such application to the Debt shall be subject to the terms and conditions hereof relating to application of sums to the Debt. Lender shall have the additional rights to draw in full any Letter of Credit: (i) if Lender has received a notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will not be renewed and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (ii) if Lender has not received a notice from the issuing bank that it has renewed the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Letter of Credit is

 

109


scheduled to expire and a substitute Letter of Credit is not provided at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the outstanding Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire; (iii) upon receipt of notice from the issuing bank that the Letter of Credit will be terminated (except if the termination of such Letter of Credit is permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof or a substitute Letter of Credit is provided by no later than thirty (30) days prior to such termination); (iv) if Lender has received notice that the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall cease to be an Approved Bank and Borrower has not substituted a Letter of Credit from an Approved Bank within fifteen (15) days after notice; and/or (v) if the bank issuing the Letter of Credit shall fail to (A) issue a replacement Letter of Credit in the event the original Letter of Credit has been lost, mutilated, stolen and/or destroyed or (B) consent to the transfer of the Letter of Credit to any Person designated by Lender. If Lender draws upon a Letter of Credit pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default exists, Lender shall apply all or any part thereof for the purposes for which such Letter of Credit was established. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the above, Lender is not obligated to draw any Letter of Credit upon the happening of an event specified in (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above and shall not be liable for any losses sustained by Borrower due to the insolvency of the bank issuing the Letter of Credit if Lender has not drawn the Letter of Credit.

XIII. MISCELLANEOUS

Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on Borrower, shall entitle Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances (unless such future notice or demand is otherwise required to be given under applicable law).

Section 13.5 Nonwaiver. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder, or under the Note or any other Loan Document shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement, the Note or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement, the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

In the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code by or against Borrower (other than an involuntary petition filed by or joined by Lender), Borrower shall not assert, or request any other party to assert, that the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to

 

113


enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement, or any other rights that Lender has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against any Guarantor. Further, Borrower shall not seek a supplemental stay or any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision therein to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement against any Guarantor. The waivers contained in this paragraph are a material endorsement to Lender’s willingness to make the Loan, and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that no grounds exist for equitable relief which would bar, delay or impede the exercise by Lender of its rights and remedies against Borrower or any Guarantor.

Section 13.13 Bankruptcy Acknowledgment. In the event the Property or any interest therein becomes property of any bankruptcy estate or subject to any state or federal insolvency proceeding, then Lender shall immediately become entitled, in addition to all other relief to which Lender may be entitled under the Security Instrument or any other Loan Document, to obtain: (a) an order from the Bankruptcy Court or other appropriate court granting immediate relief from any automatic stay laws (including Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code) so to permit Lender to pursue its rights and remedies against Borrower as provided under this Agreement and the Security Instrument and all other rights and remedies of Lender at law and in equity under applicable state law; and (b) an order from the Bankruptcy Court prohibiting Borrower’s use of all “cash collateral” as defined under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. In connection with any such orders, Borrower shall not contend or allege in any pleading or petition that Lender does not have sufficient grounds for relief from the automatic stay. Any bankruptcy petition or other action taken by Borrower to stay, condition, or inhibit Lender from exercising its remedies are hereby admitted by Borrower to be in bad faith and Borrower further admits that Lender would have just cause for relief from the automatic stay in order to take such actions authorized by state Law.

Section 13.14 Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrower.

Section 13.15 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

Section 13.16 Expenses; Indemnity.

(a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of written notice from Lender for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with respect to the Property); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents requested by Borrower or otherwise required hereunder and any other documents or matters requested by Borrower or otherwise required hereunder; (iv) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all reasonably required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment thereof; (vi) subject to Section 11.3 hereof, enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Property, or any other security given for the Loan; and (vii) subject to Section 11.3 hereof, enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account or Cash Management Account.

(b) Subject to Section 11.3 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any material breach by Borrower of its obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that such Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any Law or public policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties.

Section 13.18 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

(a) Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents between Borrower and Lender be solely that of debtor and creditor, and that Lender shall have no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower.

Section 13.20 Disclosure of Information.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, each of Borrower and Lender shall be permitted to make disclosures regarding the Loan (including, without limitation, any information obtained and/or provided in connection therewith) to the extent required in connection with their respective ordinary course reporting under applicable Laws (including, without limitation, applicable securities laws), to their respective investors or regulators and/or as may be required by applicable Law, in each case, without the approval of the other Person.

 

116


(b) Except as otherwise provided by applicable Law, Lender shall utilize all information identified by Borrower or Guarantor to Lender as being confidential or proprietary (“Identified Information”) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Lender or Servicer be prohibited from disclosing, or consenting to the disclosure of any information (including, without limitation, any Identified Information) (1) in connection with any Secondary Market Transaction (including, without limitation, to any Investor and/or any accountants, legal counsel and other similar agents of any Investor, or any Rating Agencies (which, for the purposes of this Section 13.20(b), shall include any non-hired Rating Agency)(provided that, in ease case, they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information), or as otherwise required by any applicable legal or regulatory requirement, (2) to any of its Affiliates (provided any such Affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (3) as required by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (4) to Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (5) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by Lender of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (6) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate that is not known by Lender to be subject to a confidentiality restriction with respect thereto.

Section 13.21 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets.

To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of the Property, and agrees not to assert any right under any Laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Property for the collection of the Debt without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt out of the net proceeds of the Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 13.23 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or

 

117


recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.

The provisions of this Section 13.24 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 13.25 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
