Borrower shall use proceeds of the Loan to (i) pay and discharge any existing loans relating to the Properties and the Collateral, (ii) pay all past-due Taxes, Insurance Premiums and Other Charges, if any, in respect of the Properties, (iii) make an equity contribution to Mortgage Borrower in order to cause the Mortgage Borrower to use such amounts for any use permitted pursuant to Section 2.1.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, (iv) pay costs and expenses incurred in connection with the closing of the Loan and the Mortgage Loan, and (v) to the extent any proceeds remain after satisfying clauses (i) through (iv) above, for such lawful purpose as Borrower shall designate.

Section 2.2           Interest Rate.

2.2.1       Interest Rate.

(a)          Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.

(b)          Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Loan shall be a LIBOR Loan. In the event that Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that by reason of circumstances affecting the interbank Eurodollar market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, then Agent shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Prime Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan.

(c)          If, pursuant to the terms hereof, the Loan has been converted to a Prime Rate Loan and Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Borrower absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion shall no longer be applicable, Agent shall give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a LIBOR Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower have the right to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan.

28 

(d)          If the adoption of any requirement of law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall hereafter make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain a LIBOR Loan as contemplated hereunder, (i) the obligation of such Lender hereunder to make or maintain a LIBOR Loan or to convert a Prime Rate Loan to a LIBOR Loan shall be canceled forthwith and (ii) any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be converted automatically to a Prime Rate Loan on the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by law. Borrower hereby agree to promptly pay to such Lender, upon demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion in accordance with this Agreement, including without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain the LIBOR Loan hereunder. Such Lender’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.2.2       Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Agent shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.

2.2.3       Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (B) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (C) the Outstanding Principal Balance; provided, however, that the Spread Maintenance Premium shall be calculated pursuant to the calculation convention set forth in the definition of Spread Maintenance Premium. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs.

2.2.4      Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrower be required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Agent or any 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 Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.

29 

2.2.5      Breakage Indemnity. Borrower shall indemnify Agent for its own account or for the account of the applicable Lender(s) (as the case may be) against any loss or expense which Agent or any Lender may actually sustain or incur in liquidating or redeploying deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain the Loan or any part thereof as a consequence of (i) any payment or prepayment of the Loan or any portion thereof made on a date other than a Monthly Payment Date and (ii) any default in payment or prepayment of the Outstanding Principal Balance or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the date thereof or otherwise, and whether by acceleration or otherwise) (collectively, “Breakage Costs”). Agent shall deliver to Borrower a statement for any such sums which it (or any Lender) is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.2.5, which statement shall be binding and conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower’s obligations under this Section 2.2.5 are in addition to Borrower’s obligations to pay any Spread Maintenance Premium applicable to a payment or prepayment of the Loan.

Section 2.3           Loan Payments.

2.3.1       Payments. On the date hereof, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance from the date hereof through and including November 14, 2016 (the “Initial Interest Period”). On December 9, 2016 and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Term, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance accruing through the last day of the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs. Borrower shall also pay to Agent all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.

2.3.2       Payments Generally. After the Initial Interest Period, each interest accrual period thereafter (each, an “Interest Period”) shall commence on the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of a calendar month and ending on (and including) the fourteenth (14th) calendar day of the following calendar month; provided, that in the event that the Agent elects to reset LIBOR as provided in the definition of the term “Interest Determination Date” (i) the Interest Period then in effect shall end on (and include) the calendar day prior to the Securitization Date and (ii) a new Interest Period shall commence on the Securitization Date and shall end on (and include) the next fourteenth (14th) day of a calendar month to occur. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. Agent shall have the right from time to time, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrower, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that if Agent shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Agent shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period and the Interest Determination Date accordingly. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.

30 

2.3.3        Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Agent on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

2.3.4        Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrower on the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Agent 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 Agent in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lenders for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by law.

2.3.5        Method and Place of Payment.

(a)          Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or any other Loan Document, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Agent not later than 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Agent’s office or at such other place as Agent shall from time to time designate, and any funds received by Agent after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b)          Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.

(c)          All payments required to be made by Borrower hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

2.3.6       Forwarding of Payments by Agent. Except as otherwise agreed by Agent and Lender, each payment received by Agent under this Agreement or the Note for the account of any Lender shall be paid by Agent promptly to such Lender, in immediately available funds, for the Loan or other portion of the Debt in respect of which such payment is made.

Section 2.4           Prepayments.

2.4.1           Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Stated Maturity Date.

31 

2.4.2        Voluntary Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right, only on a Business Day, to prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole, but not in part (except for partial prepayments pursuant to Section 2.7.1(f)) upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

(a)          Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Prepayment Notice; and

(b)          Borrower shall comply with the provisions set forth in Section 2.4.5; provided that if such prepayment is made on or after the Spread Maintenance Date, such prepayment shall be without any prepayment penalties set forth in clause (iv) of Section 2.4.5(a).

2.4.3      Liquidation Events; Mandatory Prepayments.

(a)          In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of the Property, (ii) any Condemnation of all or any portion of the Property, (iii) a Transfer of the Property in connection with realization thereon by the Mortgage Lender following an Event of Default under the Mortgage Loan, including without limitation a foreclosure sale, or (iv) any refinancing of the Property or the Mortgage Loan (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be deposited directly into the Mezzanine Cash Management Account or another Account designated by Lender. On each date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, if such date is a Payment Date, such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service shall be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Note in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service, together with interest that would have accrued on such amount through the next Payment Date and all other sums then due. In the event Lender receives a distribution of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service on a date other than a Payment Date, such amounts shall be held by Lender as collateral security for the Loan in an interest bearing account, with such interest accruing to the benefit of Borrower, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment Date.

(b)          Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure sale) of the Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of the Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing is entered into. The provisions of this Section 2.4.3 shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing of the Mortgage Loan or Transfer of the Property set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c)          Subject to Section 2.4.3(a) hereof, if the entirety of the Property or Mortgage Borrower’s interests therein or Borrower’s interests in Mortgage Borrower is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, voluntarily or involuntarily, or if the Mortgage Loan is repaid in full other than in accordance with Section 2.4.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then, Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loan in whole and otherwise in accordance with Section 2.4.2 hereof

32 

(d)          Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Spread Maintenance Premium or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.3. In no event shall any Spread Maintenance Premium be due in connection with any prepayment with Net Proceeds made after the Spread Maintenance Date. Any partial principal prepayment under this Section 2.4.3 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.

2.4.4       Prepayments After Default. If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by Borrower and accepted by Agent or is otherwise recovered by Agent (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, as part of the Debt, all of: (i) all accrued interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the date of such prepayment together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment, (ii) the Interest Shortfall, if applicable, with respect to the amount prepaid; (iii) Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), and (iv) an amount equal to the Spread Maintenance Premium (if made before the Spread Maintenance Date).

2.4.5       Prepayment/Repayment Conditions.

(a)          On the date on which a prepayment, voluntary or mandatory, is made under the Note or as required under this Agreement, which date must be a Business Day, Borrower shall pay to Agent:

(i)          all accrued and unpaid interest calculated at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through and including the Repayment Date together with an amount equal to the interest that would have accrued at the Interest Rate on the amount of principal being prepaid through the end of the Interest Period in which such prepayment occurs, notwithstanding that such Interest Period extends beyond the date of prepayment;

(ii)         if such prepayment is made during the period from and including the first day after a Monthly Payment Date through and including the last day of the Interest Period in which such Monthly Payment Date occurs, all interest on the principal amount being prepaid which would have accrued from the first day of the Interest Period immediately following the Interest Period in which the prepayment occurs (the “Succeeding Interest Period”) through and including the end of the Succeeding Interest Period, calculated at (A) the Interest Rate if such prepayment occurs on or after the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period or (B) the Assumed Note Rate if such prepayment occurs before the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period (the “Interest Shortfall”);

(iii)        Breakage Costs, if any, without duplication of any sums paid pursuant to the preceding clauses (i) and (ii);

(iv)        the Spread Maintenance Premium applicable thereto (if such prepayment occurs on or prior to the Spread Maintenance Date); and

33 

(v)         all other sums, then due under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement, and the other Loan Documents.

(b)          If the Interest Shortfall was calculated based upon the Assumed Note Rate, upon determination of LIBOR on the Interest Determination Date for the Succeeding Interest Period, (i) if the Interest Rate for such Succeeding Interest Period is less than the Assumed Note Rate, Agent shall promptly refund to Borrower the amount of the Interest Shortfall paid, calculated at a rate equal to the difference between the Assumed Note Rate and the Interest Rate for such Interest Period, or (ii) if the Interest Rate is greater than the Assumed Note Rate, Borrower shall promptly (and in no event later than the ninth (9th) day of the following month) pay Agent the amount of such additional Interest Shortfall calculated at a rate equal to the amount by which Interest Rate exceeds the Assumed Note Rate.

(c)          Without duplication of any amounts paid by Borrower pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders incurred in connection with the repayment or prepayment (including without limitation, any costs and expenses associated with a release of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement as set forth in Section 2.5 below and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

Section 2.5           Release Upon Payment in Full. Agent shall, upon the written request and at the expense of Borrower, upon payment in full of the Debt in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, release the Lien of the Pledge Agreement and return the Pledged LLC Certificates together with the undated stock powers or limited liability company interest powers, as applicable (or, if one or more of such Pledged LLC Certificates or undated powers are misplaced, lost or destroyed, a lost certificate affidavit from Agent). Agent shall deliver to Borrower on the Repayment Date a release of Lien (and related Loan Documents) executed by Agent. Such release shall contain standard provisions protecting the rights of the releasing Lender. Borrower shall pay all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement, including Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees.

34 

2.6.3      Covenants.

(a)          Borrower shall comply in all material respects with all of its obligations under the terms and provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement. All amounts paid by the Counterparty under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to Borrower or Agent shall be deposited immediately into the Clearing Account pursuant to Section 6.1. Subject to the terms hereof, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower shall be entitled to exercise all rights, powers and privileges of Borrower under, and to control the prosecution of all claims with respect to, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the other Rate Cap Collateral. Borrower shall take all actions reasonably requested by Agent to enforce Borrower’s rights under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement in the event of a default by the Counterparty thereunder and shall not waive, amend or otherwise modify any of its rights thereunder in any material respect.

(b)          Borrower shall in all material respects defend Agent’s and Lenders’ right, title and interest in and to the Rate Cap Collateral pledged by Borrower pursuant hereto or in which it has granted a security interest pursuant hereto against the claims and demands of all other Persons, except those claiming by, through or under Agent (on behalf of Lenders).

(c)          In the event of any downgrade, withdrawal or qualification of the rating of the Counterparty such that it ceases to qualify as an “Approved Counterparty”, Borrower shall replace the Interest Rate Cap Agreement with a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement not later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice from Agent, Servicer or any other Person of such downgrade, withdrawal or qualification.

(d)          In the event that Borrower fails to purchase and deliver to Agent the Interest Rate Cap Agreement as and when required hereunder, Agent may purchase the Interest Rate Cap Agreement and the out-of-pocket cost incurred by Agent in purchasing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement shall be paid by Borrower to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date such cost was incurred by Agent until such cost is paid by Borrower to Agent.

(e)          Borrower shall not sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, or mortgage, pledge or grant a security interest in, any of the Rate Cap Collateral or any interest therein, and any sale, assignment, mortgage, pledge or security interest whatsoever made in violation of this covenant shall be a nullity and of no force and effect, and upon demand of Agent, shall forthwith be cancelled or satisfied by an appropriate instrument in writing.

If Borrower shall have received written notice that the Securitization shall have occurred, no consent by Agent provided for in this Section 2.6.3 (f) shall be given by Agent unless Agent shall have received a Rating Agency Confirmation.

(g)          In connection with an Interest Rate Cap Agreement, within ten (10) days after execution of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, Borrower shall obtain and deliver to Agent an opinion of counsel from counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel for the Counterparty) for the Counterparty upon which Agent and its successors and assigns may rely (the “Counterparty Opinion”), under New York law and, if the Counterparty is a non-U.S. entity, the applicable foreign law, which shall provide in relevant part, that: (i) the Counterparty is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has the organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; (ii) the execution and delivery of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement by the Counterparty, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been and remain duly authorized by all necessary action and do not contravene any provision of its certificate of incorporation or by-laws (or equivalent organizational documents) or any law, regulation or contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or its property; (iii) all consents, authorizations and approvals required for the execution and delivery by the Counterparty of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, and the performance of its obligations thereunder have been obtained and remain in full force and effect, all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with any governmental authority or regulatory body is required for such execution, delivery or performance; and (iv) the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, and any other agreement which the Counterparty has executed and delivered pursuant thereto, has been duly executed and delivered by the Counterparty and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Counterparty, enforceable against the Counterparty in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

36 

2.6.5      Representations and Warranties. Borrower hereby covenants with, and represents and warrants to, Agent and Lenders as follows:

(a)          The Interest Rate Cap Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(b)          The Rate Cap Collateral is free and clear of all claims or security interests of every nature whatsoever, except such as are created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and Borrower has the right to pledge and grant a security interest in the same as herein provided without the consent of any other Person other than any such consent that has been obtained and is in full force and effect.

(c)          The Rate Cap Collateral has been duly and validly pledged hereunder. All consents and approvals required to be obtained by Borrower for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been obtained.

(d)          Giving effect to the aforesaid grant and assignment to Agent (on behalf of Lenders), Agent (on behalf of Lenders) has, as of the date of this Agreement, and as to Rate Cap Collateral acquired from time to time after such date, shall have, a valid, and upon proper filing, perfected and continuing first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rate Cap Collateral; provided that no representation or warranty is made with respect to the perfected status of the security interest of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) in the proceeds of Rate Cap Collateral consisting of “cash proceeds” or “non-cash proceeds” as defined in the UCC except if, and to the extent, the provisions of Section 9-306 of the UCC shall be complied with.

(e)          Except for financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as secured party, there are no financing statements under the UCC covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral and Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Agent, until payment in full of all of the Obligations, execute and file in any public office, any enforceable financing statement or statements covering any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral, except financing statements filed or to be filed in favor of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) as secured party.

2.6.6     Payments. If Borrower at any time shall be entitled to receive any payments with respect to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, such amounts shall, immediately upon becoming payable to Borrower, be paid by Counterparty into the Mezzanine Cash Management Account for application in accordance with this Agreement.

2.6.7     Remedies. Subject to the provisions of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, if an Event of Default shall occur and then be continuing:

37 

(a)          Agent, without obligation to resort to any other security, right or remedy granted under any other agreement or instrument, shall have the right to, in addition to all rights, powers and remedies of a secured party pursuant to the UCC, at any time and from time to time, sell, resell, assign and deliver, in its sole discretion, any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral (in one or more parcels and at the same or different times) and all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, at public or private sale, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery, and in connection therewith Agent may grant options and may impose reasonable conditions such as requiring any purchaser to represent that any “securities” constituting any part of the Rate Cap Collateral are being purchased for investment only, Borrower hereby waiving and releasing any and all equity or right of redemption to the fullest extent permitted by the UCC or applicable law. If all or any of the Rate Cap Collateral is sold by Agent upon credit or for future delivery, Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure, Agent may resell such Rate Cap Collateral. It is expressly agreed that Agent may exercise its rights with respect to less than all of the Rate Cap Collateral, leaving unexercised its rights with respect to the remainder of the Rate Cap Collateral; provided, however, that such partial exercise shall in no way restrict or jeopardize Agent’s right to exercise its rights with respect to all or any other portion of the Rate Cap Collateral at a later time or times.

(b)          Agent may exercise, either by itself or by its nominee or designee, in the name of Borrower, all of Agent’s (on behalf of Lenders) rights, powers and remedies in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral, hereunder and under law.

(c)          Borrower hereby irrevocably, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, authorizes and empowers Agent and assigns and transfers unto Agent, and constitutes and appoints Agent its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, (i) to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of Borrower under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, including any power to subordinate or modify the Interest Rate Cap Agreement (but not, unless an Event of Default exists and is continuing, the right to terminate or cancel the Interest Rate Cap Agreement), or to give any notices, or to take any action resulting in such subordination, termination, cancellation or modification and (ii) in order to more fully vest in Agent the rights and remedies provided for herein, to exercise all of the rights, remedies and powers granted to Agent in this Agreement, and Borrower further authorizes and empowers Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, and as its agent, irrevocably, with full power of substitution for Borrower and in the name of Borrower, to give any authorization, to furnish any information, to make any demands, to execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of Borrower which in the opinion of Agent may be necessary or appropriate to be given, furnished, made, exercised or taken under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, in order to comply therewith, to perform the conditions thereof or to prevent or remedy any default by Borrower thereunder or to enforce any of the rights of Borrower thereunder. These powers-of-attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and any similar or dissimilar powers heretofore given by Borrower in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral to any other Person are hereby revoked.

38 

(d)          Agent may, without notice to, or assent by, Borrower or any other Person (to the extent permitted by law), but without affecting any of the Obligations, in the name of Borrower or in the name of Agent, notify the Counterparty, or if applicable, any other counterparty to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, to make payment and performance directly to Agent; extend the time of payment and performance of, compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, and upon any terms and conditions, any obligations owing to Borrower, or claims of Borrower, under the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; file any claims, commence, maintain or discontinue any actions, suits or other proceedings deemed by Agent necessary or advisable for the purpose of collecting upon or enforcing the Interest Rate Cap Agreement; and execute any instrument and do all other things deemed necessary and proper by Agent to protect and preserve and realize upon the Rate Cap Collateral and the other rights contemplated hereby.

(e)          Pursuant to the powers-of-attorney provided for above, Agent may take any action and exercise and execute any instrument which it may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof; provided, however, that Agent shall not be permitted to take any action pursuant to said power-of-attorney that would conflict with any limitation on Agent’s rights with respect to the Rate Cap Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to Borrower representing: (i) any payment of obligations owed pursuant to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement, (ii) interest accruing on any of the Rate Cap Collateral or (iii) any other payment or distribution payable in respect of the Rate Cap Collateral or any part thereof, and for and in the name, place and stead of Borrower, to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer in respect of any property which is or may become a part of the Rate Cap Collateral hereunder.

(f)          Agent may exercise all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC.

(g)          Without limiting any other provision of this Agreement or any of Borrower’s rights hereunder, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any obligation or default hereunder, Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to perform any act or take any appropriate action, as it, in its reasonable judgment, may deem necessary to protect the security of this Agreement, to cure such Event of Default or to cause any term, covenant, condition or obligation required under this Agreement or the Interest Rate Cap Agreement to be performed or observed by Borrower to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrower. All amounts advanced by, or on behalf of, Agent in exercising its rights under this Section 2.6.7(g) (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal expenses and disbursements incurred in connection therewith), together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of each such advance, shall be payable by Borrower to Agent upon demand and shall be secured by this Agreement.

39 

2.6.8        Sales of Rate Cap Collateral. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, hereby expressly waived by Borrower, shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or any part of the Rate Cap Collateral, except that Agent shall give Borrower at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale or of the time when and the place where any private sale or other disposition is to be made, which notice Borrower hereby agrees is reasonable, all other demands, advertisements and notices being hereby waived. To the extent permitted by law, Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale may have been given, and Agent may without notice or publication adjourn any public or private sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each private sale of the Rate Cap Collateral of a type customarily sold in a recognized market and upon each public sale, unless prohibited by any applicable statute which cannot be waived, Agent (or its nominee or designee) may purchase any or all of the Rate Cap Collateral being sold, free and discharged from any trusts, claims, equity or right of redemption of Borrower, all of which are hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law, and may make payment therefor by credit against any of the Obligations in lieu of cash or any other obligations. In the case of all sales of the Rate Cap Collateral, public or private, Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind for sale or delivery, including brokers’ and attorneys’ fees and disbursements and any tax imposed thereon. However, the proceeds of sale of Rate Cap Collateral shall be available to cover such costs and expenses, and, after deducting such costs and expenses from the proceeds of sale, Agent shall apply any residue to the payment of the Obligations in the order of priority as set forth in this Agreement.

2.6.9       Public Sales Not Possible. Borrower acknowledges that the terms of the Interest Rate Cap Agreement may prohibit public sales, that the Rate Cap Collateral may not be of the type appropriately sold at public sales, and that such sales may be prohibited by law. In light of these considerations, Borrower agrees that private sales of the Rate Cap Collateral shall not be deemed to have been made in a commercially unreasonably manner by mere virtue of having been made privately.

2.6.10     Receipt of Sale Proceeds. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon any sale of the Rate Cap Collateral by Agent hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or otherwise), the receipt by Agent or the officer making the sale or the proceeds of such sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Rate Cap Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or non-application thereof.

2.6.11     Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement. If, in connection with Borrower’s exercise of any Extension Option pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof, Borrower delivers a Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement, all the provisions of this Section 2.6 applicable to the Interest Rate Cap Agreement delivered on the Closing Date shall be applicable to the Replacement Interest Rate Cap Agreement.

Section 2.7           Extension Options.

2.7.1        Extension Options. Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.7, Borrower shall have the option (the “First Extension Option”), by irrevocable written notice (the “First Extension Notice”) delivered to Agent no later than thirty (30) days and no earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date, to extend the Maturity Date to November 9, 2019 (the “First Extended Maturity Date”).

Borrower’s right to so extend the Maturity Date shall be subject to the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent prior to each extension hereunder:

40

(e)          on the Second Extended Maturity Date and the Third Extended Maturity Date, Borrower shall pay to Agent the applicable Extension Fee;

(f)          the Properties shall have achieved, on the date Borrower delivers the First Extension Notice, the Second Extension Notice or the Third Extension Notice, as applicable, and on the Stated Maturity Date, the First Extended Maturity Date and the Second Extended Maturity Date, respectively, a Debt Yield of no less than 5.30%; provided, however, if the Properties do not satisfy the foregoing Debt Yield requirements provided in this Section 2.7.1(f), Borrower (and Mortgage Borrower) shall be permitted to prepay, on a pro rata basis, a portion of the Loan (subject to and in accordance with Section 2.4.2) and Mortgage Borrower shall make a pro rata payment of the Mortgage Loan (subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) in an amount that would be sufficient such that the applicable Debt Yield test set forth above shall be satisfied;

41 

(g)          Mortgage Borrower shall have (i) timely exercised the extension option to extend the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) been entitled pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents to exercise such extension option and (iii) paid any extension fee required pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

If Borrower are unable to satisfy all of the foregoing conditions within the applicable time frames for each, Agent shall have no obligation to extend or further extend (as applicable) the Stated Maturity Date hereunder.

All Spread Maintenance Premium payments hereunder shall be deemed to be earned by Lenders upon the funding of the Loan.

Section 2.9          Regulatory Change; Taxes.

2.9.1        Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or compliance of any Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender or any company Controlling any Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or any Lender or the company Controlling any Lender shall be subject to (i) any tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of such Lender or the company Controlling such Lender); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of any Lender or any company Controlling any Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to Borrower subject to LIBOR-based interest rates is imposed on any Lender or any company Controlling any Lender and such Lender reasonably determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to such Lender or any company Controlling such Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by such Lender or any company Controlling such Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrower is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by such Lender in good faith to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then such Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrower and Borrower agrees that it will pay to such Lender within five (5) days after such Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or any company Controlling such Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent such Lender reasonably determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 2.9.1, such Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrower to such Lender, furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.

42 

2.9.2       Special Taxes. Borrower shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.9.2) each Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

2.9.3       Other Taxes. In addition, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

Section 2.10         Defaulting Lender.

(a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of any modification, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents that requires the approval of the Lenders.

(b)          If a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of its Ratable Share of the Loan funded by other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loan to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their Ratable Share. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the preceding sentence, including those set forth in Agent’s notice, the applicable Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c)          The Agent, or a Qualified Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender shall, upon such request, sell and assign to the Agent or such Qualified Lender, all of the Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Ratable Share of the Loan.

(a) Borrower is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing with full power and authority to own its assets and conduct its business, and is duly qualified and in good standing in the jurisdiction in which the ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, and Borrower has taken all necessary limited liability company action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by it, and has the limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and all the transactions contemplated hereby. Borrower is a Special Purpose Bankruptcy Remote Entity. Borrower’s exact legal name is correctly set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement. Borrower is an organization of the type specified in the first paragraph of this Agreement. Borrower is formed or organized under the laws of the state specified in the first paragraph of this Agreement. Borrower’s principal place of business and chief executive office, and the place where Borrower keeps its books and records, including recorded data of any kind or nature, regardless of the medium of recording, including software, writings, plans, specifications and schematics, has been for the preceding four (4) months (or, if less than four (4) months, the entire period of the existence of Borrower) and will continue to be the address of Borrower set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement (unless Borrower notifies Agent in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of such change).

The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor including the defense of usury, nor would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable, and none of Borrower or Guarantor have asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

44

There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to Borrower’s Knowledge, threatened in writing against Borrower, Guarantor, the Manager, the Collateral or any Property in any court or by or before any other Governmental Authority which, if adversely determined, could likely result in a Material Adverse Effect.

3.1.5           Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower, the Collateral or any Property, or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or financial condition. Borrower is not in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any Governmental Authority, which default might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect the financial condition or operations of Borrower or its properties or might have consequences that would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.

(a)          Mortgage Borrower has indefeasible, marketable and insurable fee simple title (as reflected in the Title Insurance Policies) to the real property comprising part of the Property and good title to the balance of the Property, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Permitted Encumbrances, such other Liens as are permitted pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Documents and the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially interfere with the value, current use or operation of the Property or the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or with the current ability of the Property to generate net cash flow sufficient to service the Loan or the Borrower’s ability to pay its obligations when they become due.

Borrower’s delivery to Lender of the Pledged LLC Certificates described in the Pledge Agreement creates a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in that portion of the Collateral consisting of the Pledged Company Interests. For so long as the Lien of the Pledge Agreement is outstanding, Borrower shall forever warrant, defend and preserve such title and the validity and priority of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement and shall forever warrant and defend such title, validity and priority to Lender against the claims of all persons whomsoever.

No legal proceedings are pending or, to Borrower’s Knowledge, threatened in writing with respect to the zoning of the Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate the Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than the Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits (either temporary or permanent) required of Mortgage Borrower for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Properties for their current uses (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

(d)          Borrower shall have the right, without the consent or approval of Agent, to terminate or accept a surrender of, or to permit Mortgage Borrower to terminate or accept a surrender of, any Lease that is not a Major Lease so long as such termination or surrender is (A) (i) by reason of a tenant default and (ii) in a commercially reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property or (B) with respect to residential Leases that are not with Borrower Affiliates, provided that no Trigger Period is then continuing (in which event all non-default terminations of residential Leases shall be subject to Agent’s approval), (i) the aggregate amount of Leases being terminated without the consent or approval of Agent for the trailing twelve (12) month period shall be no more than twenty (20) units, (ii) such termination is in the reasonable business judgment of Borrower, and (iii) such termination or surrender would not result in a Low Debt Yield Period (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement).

With respect to commercial Leases or residential Major Leases, any bond or other instrument which Mortgage Borrower is permitted to hold in lieu of cash security deposits under any applicable Legal Requirements (i) shall be maintained in full force and effect in the full amount of such deposits unless replaced by cash deposits as herein above described, (ii) shall be issued by an institution reasonably satisfactory to Agent, (iii) shall, if permitted pursuant to any Legal Requirements and subject to the prior rights of Mortgage Loan Agent to do so, name Agent as payee or mortgagee thereunder (or at Agent’s option, be fully assignable to Agent), and (iv) shall in all respects comply with any applicable Legal Requirements and otherwise be reasonably acceptable to Agent.

Borrower shall notify Agent in writing within two (2) Business Days after Borrower first receives notice of any such non-compliance.

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 for such Property, and Agent may apply such security from time to time at the option of Agent to pay for such alterations.

Section 8.2          Remedies.

8.2.1        Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time thereafter, Agent may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to Agent and Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand), that Agent deems advisable to protect and enforce its and Lenders’ rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Agent may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Collateral, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above, the Obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

8.2.2        Remedies Cumulative. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Agent and Lenders 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 Agent at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Agent shall have commenced any Equity Collateral Enforcement Action or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral. The rights, powers and remedies of Agent under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Agent and Lenders may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Agent’s and Lenders’ rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Agent may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) neither Agent nor any Lender shall be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Agent and Lenders shall remain in full force and effect until Agent and Lenders have exhausted all of their remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. 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.

94 

8.2.3      Severance.

(a)          During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Pledged Equity Interest constituting part of the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement or other Loan Documents then due and payable as determined by Agent in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace or cure period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Agent may foreclose any Pledged Equity Interest constituting part of the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Agent elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Agent may foreclose any Pledged Equity Interest constituting part of the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Agent may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Pledge Agreement or other Loan Documents as Agent may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each Pledged Equity Interest constituting part of the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement to secure payment of the sums secured by the Pledge Agreement or other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.

(b)          During the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents in such denominations as Agent shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Agent from time to time, promptly after the request of Agent, a severance agreement and such other documents as Agent shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent 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, Agent shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Agent of Agent’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.

(c)          During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Collateral or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Agent toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall determine.

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

95 

Section 8.3           Right to Cure Event of Defaults. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder, make any payment or do or perform any act required of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender is authorized to enter upon the Property for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding to protect its interest in the Property for such purposes, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.3, shall constitute a portion of the Debt and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender in remedying such Event of Default or such failed payment or act or in appearing in, defending, or bringing any action or proceeding shall bear interest at the Default Rate, for the period after such cost or expense was incurred until the date of payment to Lender and shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefor.

Section 8.4           Power of Attorney. For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Article 8, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and do and perform any acts such as are referred to in this Article 8 in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

(b)          Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Agent (and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Agent shall include the initial agent, initial lenders, their successors and assigns, and their respective officers and directors) and each Person who controls the Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Lender Group”), the issuer of the Securities (the “Issuer” and for purposes of this Section 9.2, Issuer shall include its officers, director and each Person who controls the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), and any placement agent or underwriter with respect to the Securitization, each of their respective officers and directors and each Person who controls the placement agent or underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Underwriter Group”) for any actual losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, (A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Borrower Provided Information, (B) the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated in Borrower Provided Information or necessary in order to make the statements in Borrower Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (C) a breach of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in Section 3.1.31 of this Agreement (Full and Accurate Disclosure); except, in each case, that (I) Borrower’s obligation to indemnify for any Liabilities that arise in connection with a Disclosure Document that derives in part from information contained in Borrower Provided Information and in part from information either prepared by the Lender Group, the Issuer, the Underwriter Group or any other Person shall be limited to any untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in Borrower Provided Information known to Borrower that results directly from the Borrower Provided Information (or omission from the Borrower Provided Information) and (II) Borrower shall have no responsibility for (w) any statements contained in any Disclosure Document to which Borrower or its authorized representative have objected to (or requested changes to) in writing to Agent or that were derived from Borrower Provided Third Party Reports, (x) numbers which have been submitted by Borrower and adjusted by any Indemnified Person from those submitted by Borrower, to the extent of such adjustment, (y) third party reports, such as environmental and physical condition reports that do not constitute Borrower Provided Third Party Reports, and (z) any financial projections. Borrower also agrees to reimburse Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any actual legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. Borrower’s liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Agent by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Properties. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 9.2(b).

(c)          In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrower agrees to (i) indemnify Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, Borrower Provided Information furnished to Agent by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to any Property, and (ii) reimburse Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any actual legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Agent, Lenders, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.

101 

(d)          Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying party shall not pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any other indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Agent reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.

102 

(e)          In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and applicable Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Agent and Borrower hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation. In no event shall Borrower be required to indemnify an indemnified party with respect to any matter to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of an indemnified party.

(f)          The liabilities and obligations of both Borrower and Agent under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.

Section 9.3           Severance. Subject to Section 9.4 hereof:

9.3.1      Severance Documentation. Agent, without in any way limiting Agent’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to require Borrower (at no material cost to Borrower) to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., a senior/junior or senior/junior/junior-most mezzanine loan structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes (including the implementation of one or more New Mezzanine Loans (in accordance with Section 9.3.2 below)), reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that (a) the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification, (b) the obligations of Borrower shall not be materially increased hereby and (c) such “component” notes and/or senior and subordinate notes shall be structured such that permitted prepayments (other than prepayments made in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation) shall not, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, result in any “rate creep”. At Agent’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Agent shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.

103 

9.3.2      New Mezzanine Loan Option. Agent, without in any way limiting Agent’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction), to create one or more mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), to establish different interest rates and to reallocate the Outstanding Principal Balance and monthly debt service payments for the Loan to the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Agent; provided, (A) that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification, (B) the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) shall be structured such that permitted prepayments (other than prepayments made in connection with a Casualty or Condemnation) shall not, provided no Event of Default is then continuing, result in any “rate creep” and (C) the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan shall not result in a material increase of Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Agent in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan Borrower”) and the applicable organizational documents of Borrower shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Loan Borrower to substantially conform to the organizational documents of Borrower as of the Closing Date, including “Article 8 opt in” provisions, the creation of certificated interests and the use of independent managers for each New Mezzanine Loan Borrower.

9.3.3      Cooperation; Execution; Delivery. Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Agent in connection with this Section 9.3. If requested by Agent, Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Agent and requested by any Rating Agency in connection with any modification or New Mezzanine Loan pursuant to this Section 9.3, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and Borrower and satisfactory to any applicable Rating Agency, including, the severance of security documents if requested and/or, in connection with the creation of any New Mezzanine Loan: (i) execution and delivery of a promissory note, certificated interests and loan documents necessary to evidence such New Mezzanine Loan, (ii) execution and delivery of such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan, (iii) delivery of opinions of legal counsel with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of any modification documents or documents evidencing or securing any New Mezzanine Loan, as applicable and (iv) with respect to any New Mezzanine Loan, delivery of an additional Insolvency Opinion for the Loan and a substantive non-consolidation opinion; each as reasonably acceptable to Agent, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies. In the event Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Agent within five (5) Business Days following such request by Agent, Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Agent as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents if Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

Section 9.4         Costs and Expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article 9, Borrower shall not be required to incur any material costs or expenses in the performance of its obligations under Sections 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3 above (including the reasonable fees and expenses of Borrower’s accountants, consultants and counsel) in excess of $10,000.

This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lenders of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lenders of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

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

It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.

110 

(c)          Prior to a Securitization or in the event that there is a Review Waiver, if Agent does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then the term Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed instead to require the prior written consent of Agent.

In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount.

BORROWER, AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.

EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.

Section 10.8        Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

Section 10.9        Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.10      Preferences. Agent shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrower to any portion of the Obligations of Borrower hereunder. To the extent Borrower makes a payment or payments to Agent, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent.

Section 10.11      Waiver of Notice. Borrower shall not be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Agent except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Agent 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 Agent 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 Agent to Borrower.

Section 10.12      Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Agent 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, Agent or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Agent nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrower’s sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Agent has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.

114 

Section 10.13     Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Agent’s or any Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by one or more Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrower.

Section 10.14     No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.

(a)          Borrower and Agent (on behalf of Lenders) intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower, Agent and/or any Lender or to grant Agent and/or any Lender any interest in the Properties or Collateral other than that of secured party, beneficiary or lender.

(a)          The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) and Borrower (and the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group with respect to Section 9.2(b)) and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Agent, Lenders and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.

Section 10.15     Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by either party through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Agent, Lenders, the Affiliate of any Lender that acts as the issuer with respect to a Securitization or any of their other Affiliates (x) shall be prohibited prior to the final Securitization of the Loan and (y) after the final Securitization of the Loan, shall be subject to the prior written approval of the other party; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) Agent from issuing customary “tombstone” advertisements with respect to the Loan, (b) any customary disclosure by Agent or its Affiliates related to or arising out of a Securitization or Secondary Market Transaction involving the Loan or the New Mezzanine Loan, or (c) any disclosure required by Legal Requirements, including the Exchange Act, to which Agent or any Lender may be subject.

Section 10.16      Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Borrower, Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in Borrower, and of any Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Collateral for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Agent (on behalf of Lenders) to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of any Collateral in preference to every other claimant whatsoever. In addition, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives in the event of foreclosure of any or all of the Collateral, any equitable right otherwise available to Borrower which would require the separate sale of any part of the Collateral or require Lender to exhaust its remedies against any part of the Collateral or any combination of the Collateral before proceeding against any other part of the Collateral or combination of the Collateral; and further in the event of such foreclosure Borrower does hereby expressly consents to and authorizes, at the option of Lender, the foreclosure and sale either separately or together of any combination of the Collateral.

115 

Section 10.17     Certain Waivers. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Agent, any Lender or their agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Agent to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Agent or any Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

Section 10.18     Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Agent, any Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Agent or any Lender. Agent 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 Agent 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 Agent’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Agent engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.19       Brokers and Financial Advisors. Borrower hereby represents that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including Agent’s and each Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower, Agent or any Lender (unless it is determined that such Person is alleged to be owed solely due to engagement by or through Agent or any Lender) in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

116 

Section 10.20     Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, including any confidentiality agreements or any similar agreements between or among any such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.21     Servicer.

(a)          At the option of Agent, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Agent and Agent may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Agent and Servicer. Borrower shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Borrower shall not be responsible for payment of any monthly or annual master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

(b)          Other than as set forth in Section 10.21(a) above, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, approvals under the Loan Documents, requested by Borrower, other requests under the Loan, assumption of Borrower’s obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses and other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan.

Section 10.22      Intentionally Omitted.

Section 10.23     Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Agent may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

Section 10.24     Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding taxes imposed on Agent’s or any Lender’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on Agent or any Lender by the law or regulation of any Governmental Authority (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to in this Section 10.24 as “Applicable Taxes”). If Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Applicable Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to Agent (on behalf of Lender), the following shall apply: (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.24), such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Payments pursuant to this Section 10.24 shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Agent makes written demand therefor.

117 

Section 10.25      Waiver of Rights, Defenses and Claims. Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives all rights, defenses and claims that Borrower may have based on the fact that certain terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including without limitation certain definitions set forth in Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

Section 10.26     Cross Default; Cross Collateralization. Borrower acknowledges that Lenders have made the Loan to Borrower upon the security of its collective interest in the Collateral and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Collateral (and, indirectly, the Properties) taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the Collateral (and, indirectly, the Properties) taken separately. Borrower agrees that the Collateral is and will be structurally cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted since the Pledged Equity Interests in each Property will both be pledged together under the Pledge Agreement.

Section 10.27      Intentionally Omitted.

Section 10.28      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

Section 10.29     Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders provided by this Agreement and by law, Agent shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower; provided however, Agent may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. Agent agrees promptly to notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Agent; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

Section 10.30         Modification, Waiver in Writing; Approvals.

(a)          Subject to the additional requirements of Section 10.30(c) through (i), no modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document shall be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by Agent and, in the case of modifications and amendments, Borrower, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose for which given. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Agent or any Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder or under 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 or any other Loan Document, neither Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Agent shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that Lenders and/or Agent is entitled to under the Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion.

118 

(b)          Subject to Section 10.30(c) through (i) hereof, Agent may make, give or take any consent, approval, waiver, amendment, decision, or other action pursuant to the Loan Documents without the approval of any Lender. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Agent shall have the right to (i) request instructions from Lenders with respect to any approval, consent, waiver, decision or other action or (ii) in its sole and absolute discretion, rely upon such instructions (or refrain from taking any action in the absence thereof) in performing its duties hereunder, and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all Lenders. With respect to any action or other matter arising in connection with an Event of Default, to the extent the Lenders have consented to the exercise of rights and remedies by the Agent on their behalf or with the deemed consent or approval of the Lenders, Agent shall be permitted to take any related action (or refrain from taking any action) to enforce and carry out such rights and remedies of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents on account of such Event of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent may refrain from doing anything (including disclosing any information) which might, in its good faith determination, constitute a breach of any law or expose Agent to any civil or criminal liability. Wherever this Agreement specifies a minimum period of notice to be given to Agent, Agent may, in its discretion, accept a shorter notice period.

(c)          Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding the fact that the Loan may be serviced by Servicer, prior to a Securitization of the entire Loan, all requests for approval and consents hereunder and in every instance in which Lenders’ consent or approval is required, all copies of documents, reports, requests and other delivery obligations of Borrower and Guarantor required hereunder shall be delivered by Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, to Agent.

(d)          In the event a decision with respect to any action affecting the Loan (a “Decision”) is required to be made, Agent shall promptly so notify each Lender (each such notice, a “Decision Notice”). The Decision Notice shall (i) set forth Agent’s recommendation as to the proposed course of action or decision with respect to such Decision, (ii) include all information in Agent’s possession that Agent reasonably believes is necessary for Lenders to make a decision and (iii) ask for the approval of Lenders with respect to such course of action or decision and (iv) set forth the specific date by which Lenders’ approval or disapproval of the action or decision recommended in the Decision Notice must be given. In the event Agent does not receive from any Lender written approval or disapproval of the action or decision recommended in the Decision Notice within ten (10) Business Days (or by such shorter period as may be requested by Borrower or Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents or is otherwise required by the terms of the Loan Documents or by Agent if Agent in good faith reasonably believes a more prompt response is necessary or appropriate and such shorter period is set forth in the Decision Notice, but which shall in no event be fewer than three (3) Business Days from the date of delivery of the Decision Notice) of the date on which Agent has delivered such Decision Notice to the Lenders, then Agent shall send such Lender a second reminder notice. Each second reminder notice shall, at the top of such notice, set forth a legend in all caps and bolded text as follows: “THIS IS A REMINDER NOTICE RELATING TO AN ACTION OR DECISION CONCERNING THE LOAN WITH RESPECT TO 53 PARK PLACE AND 110 CHURCH STREET IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, RECOMMENDED BY AGENT IN THAT CERTAIN NOTICE DATED AS OF [_______]. IF AGENT DOES NOT RECEIVE A WRITTEN APPROVAL OR DISAPPROVAL FROM THE ADDRESSEE OF SUCH ACTION OR DECISION WITHIN TWO (2) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER THE DATE HEREOF, WHICH DATE IS [_______], SUCH ADDRESSEE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED SUCH ACTION OR DECISION.” If Agent does not receive from any Lender written approval or disapproval of the action or decision recommended in the original Decision Notice within two (2) Business Days after the second reminder notice, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved the action or decision proposed therein.

119 

(e)          Agent may, at any time, and must, if requested to do so by the Lenders, convene a meeting of Lenders.

(f)          The Lenders shall have the right to cause a vote to be taken with respect to any Decision. Upon the taking of such vote and the obtaining of approval or disapproval of the Lenders, the Agent shall then be required to act, or not to act, in accordance with such Lender approval or disapproval.

(g)          In the event that the Lenders approve the commencement of a foreclosure or other exercise of remedies, Agent shall declare the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all interest thereon and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable and shall promptly commence and complete such foreclosure or other exercise of remedies; provided that such action is not stayed by any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or any other injunction or court order. If, after commencing such foreclosure, Agent is directed to cease such action or to take another course of action by the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement, Agent shall follow such direction. In the event that the Lenders have not approved the commencement of a foreclosure or other exercise of remedies within the initial ninety (90) days following the occurrence of an Event of Default, then Agent shall be permitted, without the consent of the Lenders to exercise any remedy available at law or equity including, without limitation, to (i) accelerate the Loan, (ii) commence and diligently pursue a foreclosure proceeding and/or (iii) exercise such other remedies as are appropriate.

(h)          No modification of any provision of the Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall modify any provision of the Loan Documents relating to the Agent without the written consent of the Agent and Borrower.

(i)          Agent shall have the right to provide, in a separate agreement between Agent and certain Lenders, that only the consent of a certain percentage of Lenders shall be required with respect to certain Decisions.

120 

Section 10.31         Assignments and Participations.

(a)          Subject to Section 10.31(a)(ii) below, at the assignor Lender’s sole cost and provided that the economic and other terms of the Loan shall remain the same for Borrower and Guarantor, with the prior consent of Agent, which consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Qualified Lenders (each an “Assignee”) all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Ratable Share of the Loan at the time owing to it) and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that Borrower and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to Borrower and Agent by such Lender and the Assignee and such assignment shall have been recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 10.31(a)(ii), (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to Borrower and Agent an assignment and acceptance agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule XIV (or such other form as may be modified by Agent, an “Assignment and Acceptance”) with such changes thereto as are reasonably acceptable to Agent with respect to such assignment, sale, negotiation, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer and are in compliance with this Section 10.31, and (iii) the Assignee has paid to the Agent a processing fee in the amount of Three Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($3,500.00). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no written consent of Agent shall be required (i) in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or its Affiliate, (ii) in connection with any Securitization, or (iii) in connection with the assignment, transfer, sale, or pledge of all or any portion of its rights or obligations in and to the Loan under any repurchase or warehouse facility (including any assignment or pledge of the Loan to the Federal Home Loan Bank system or a preferred equity transaction related to the Loan by the Federal Home Loan Bank system). During the continuance of an Event of Default any Lender may assign and delegate to any Person, regardless of whether such Person is a Qualified Lender. Any assignment and delegation pursuant to this Section 10.31(a)(i) shall be at Lender’s sole cost and shall not subject Borrower or Guarantor to any cost or increased liability under the terms of the Loan Documents. For so long as an Affiliate of SLG is a Lender under the Loan, SLG, or an Affiliate thereof shall continue to act as Agent. Nothing contained in this Section 10.31(a) shall be deemed to restrict a Lender’s right to sell a participation of up to 100% of its interest; provided, however, that a participation of 100% of the initial Lender’s interest in the Loan shall not relieve the obligation for an Affiliate SLG to remain Agent hereunder to the extent required hereunder.

(i)          From and after the date that Agent notifies the assignor Lender and Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the above-referenced processing fee: (A) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (B) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it and assumed by the Assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to the assignment) and (C) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Ratable Share of each Lender resulting therefrom.

121 

(ii)         Borrower, Agent and Lender shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Ratable Share of the Loan listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Ratable Share of the Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until receipt by Agent of a fully executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 10.31(a). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by Agent of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding portion of the Loan.

(b)          Within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and notice by the Agent that it has received payment of the processing fee (which notice shall also be sent by the Agent to each Lender), Borrower shall, if requested by the Assignee, execute and deliver to Agent, new Notes (in substantially the same form and substance as the original notes) evidencing such Assignee’s portion of the Loan, provided that the applicable original notes are returned to Borrower.

(c)          If any assignee, participant or other transferee of the Loan or any portion thereof or interest therein requests in writing, at such assignee’s, participants or other transferee’s sole cost, Borrower shall deliver to such Person updated opinions of Borrower’s and Guarantor’s New York counsel with respect to the enforceability, due authorization and due execution of any new Loan Documents entered into in connection with the related assignment, participation or transfer, which opinions shall be in substantially the same form as the opinions delivered as of the Closing Date, and dated as of such date as the updated opinions are delivered, as modified as required to properly render such updated opinions on such date and updated, and shall be addressed, for purposes of reliance thereon, to such assignee, participant or transferee, as applicable.

122 

(d)          Upon assignment, all references to the assignor Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such Assignee or successor in interest and such Assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of such assignor Lender in all respects. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, Borrower agrees that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9 to the same extent as if it were Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment; provided that such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.9, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States of America a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and each of Lenders’ assignees and the principal amount (and stated interest) on the Loan owing to Lenders and each of Lenders’ assignees pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Lender and Agent shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and Lenders, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. If a Lender sells a participation, such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amount (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in the Loan or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the U.S. Department of Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)          Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Agent and each Lender may provide to any actual or proposed Assignee originals or copies of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents and any other documents, instruments, certificates, opinions, insurance policies, financial statements and other information, letters of credit, reports, requisitions and other materials and information at any time submitted by or on behalf of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or other Persons and/or received by Agent or any Lender in connection with the Loan, provided that with respect to materials from Guarantor not otherwise required to be delivered by Guarantor under the Guaranty, any such proposed Assignee agrees to keep all such materials and information confidential.

Section 10.32         Intercreditor Agreement.

Lender and Mortgage Lender are parties to a certain intercreditor agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, restated, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) memorializing their relative rights and obligations with respect to the Loan, the Mortgage Loan, Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral and the Property. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) such Intercreditor Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender and (b) no Borrower Affiliate is an intended third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions therein and no such Person shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Lender and Mortgage Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to any Borrower Affiliate the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are independent of such Intercreditor Agreement and remain unmodified by the terms and provisions thereof. In the event Lender is required pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to pay over to Mortgage Lender any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which otherwise would have been applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously received by Lender on account of the Loan, then Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender for any amounts so paid, and any amount so paid shall continue to be owing pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such payment by Lender.

123 

Section 10.33      Mortgage Loan Defaults.

10.33.1     Borrower agrees to notify Lender promptly upon the occurrence of any Mortgage Loan Default. If any Mortgage Loan Default occurs, Borrower agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without prior notice to Borrower, but shall be under no obligation to (A) pay all or any part of the Mortgage Loan and any other sums that are then due and payable, and perform any act or take any action on behalf of Borrower and/or Mortgage Borrower as may be appropriate, to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage Borrower to be performed or observed thereunder to be promptly performed or observed, and (B) pay any other amounts and take any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Borrower shall not impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, and shall not permit Mortgage Borrower to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or action on the part of Lender to cure any Mortgage Loan Default or asserted Mortgage Loan Default, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the Collateral following a Mortgage Loan Default or asserted Mortgage Loan Default.

10.33.2     Borrower hereby grants Lender and its designees the right to enter upon the Property at any time following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Mortgage Loan Default, or the assertion by Mortgage Lender that a Mortgage Loan Default has occurred, for the purpose of taking any such action or to appear in, defend or bring any action or proceeding to protect Lender’s interest. Lender may take such action as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the intents and purposes of this subsection (including communicating with Mortgage Lender with respect to any Mortgage Loan Defaults), without prior notice to, or consent from, Borrower or Mortgage Borrower. Lender shall have no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender.

10.33.3     All sums so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section 10.33 (including its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) (A) shall be added to the Debt, (B) shall bear interest at the Default Rate for the period from the date that such costs or expenses were incurred to the date of payment to Lender, and (C) shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement. Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all losses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Lender as a result of the foregoing actions. In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against the Property, in addition to all other rights it may have under the Loan Documents.

10.33.4    If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of a Mortgage Loan Default sent by Mortgage Lender, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 10.33.4, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

124 

Section 10.34    Discussions with Mortgage Lender. If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of a Mortgage Loan Default sent by Mortgage Lender, such notice shall constitute full protection to Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon. As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and unconditionally releases and waives all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its rights and remedies provided in this Section 10.34, except for Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 10.35    Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (b) in determining whether to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval, Mortgage Lender and Lender may reasonably reach different conclusions, and (c) Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval based on its own point of view, but subject to the standards of consent set forth herein. Furthermore, the denial by Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a Mortgage Loan Default, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from any such denial unless Lender has not complied with any applicable standard for consent. The rights described above may be exercised by any entity which owns and controls, directly or indirectly, substantially all of the interests in Lender.

Section 10.36     Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.

(a)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(i)        the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and

125 

(C)         the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

AGENT

Section 11.1       Appointment and Authorization.

(a)          Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Agent as the administrative agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes Agent, as the administrative agent for such Lender, to take such action on its behalf and in Agent’s designated capacity under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and Borrower shall be entitled to rely on any decision, action or notice given to or by Agent and Agent’s sole decision-making authority with respect to all matters related to “Lender” with respect to the Loan Documents without any further notice to or consent from any other Lender. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or therein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent.

126 

(b)         Subject to Section 10.31, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to modify or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the Obligations. All such rights, on behalf of Agent or any Lender or Lenders, shall be held and exercised solely by and at the option of Agent for the Ratable benefit of Lenders. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions on behalf of Lenders which Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Agent’s satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of Administrative Agent Advances, and (iii) the exercise of remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.

(c)         In case of the pendency of any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall to the extent given such rights under the Loan Documents, be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(i)          to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are then owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lenders and Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Lender and Agent and their respective counsel and all other amounts, in each case, due Lender and Agent hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding;

(ii)         to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same pursuant to the Loan Documents; and

(iii)        any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Agent and, in the event that Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lender, to pay to Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Agent and its counsel, and any other amounts, in each case, due Agent hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of Lender except as approved by the Lenders or to authorize Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by the Lenders in any such proceeding.

127 

Section 11.2         Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in fact selected by it with reasonable care.

Section 11.3        Exculpatory Provisions. Neither Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable to any Lender or Borrower or Guarantor for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person or Persons under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person or Persons’ own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Lender for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by Borrower or Guarantor or any officer thereof contained in any Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of Borrower or Guarantor to perform its obligations thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of Borrower.

Section 11.4         Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to Borrower and/or Guarantor), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless such Note shall have been transferred in accordance with this Agreement and all actions required in connection with such transfer shall have been taken. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of one hundred percent (100%) of Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders and all future holders of all or any interest in the Loan.

Section 11.5         Notice of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents unless Agent shall have received notice from a Lender or Borrower, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that Agent shall receive such a notice, Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Lenders. Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Lenders (or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement or by a separate agreement between Agent and any Lenders); provided that unless and until Agent shall have received such directions, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of Lenders.

128 

Section 11.6         Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower or any affiliate of Borrower, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of any investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Affiliates and made its own decision to make its Ratable Share of the Loan hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lender by Agent hereunder, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower that may come into the possession of Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

Section 11.7         Indemnification. Lenders agree to indemnify Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting any obligation of Borrower to do so pursuant to the Loan Documents), ratably according to their respective Ratable Share on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loan shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Ratable Share immediately prior to such date), for, and to save Agent harmless from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Loan) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Loan, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Debt and the termination of this Agreement.

129 

Section 11.8         Agent in its Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower as though Agent were not administrative agent hereunder. With respect to the Ratable Share of the Loan made or held by it at any time, Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include Agent in its individual capacity.

Section 11.9         Successor Agent. Agent may resign as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Lenders and Borrower; provided, that for so long as SLG is a Lender hereunder, SLG, or an Affiliate thereof, shall be the Agent hereunder unless an Event of Default then exists, in which case SLG need not remain as Agent. The Lenders (which for the purposes thereof, shall not include the pro rata interest of the Lender then serving as Agent) may, upon reasonable written notice to Agent and Borrower, elect to remove Agent if it is determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that Agent has engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Agent shall resign as administrative agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or if the Lenders shall elect to remove Agent for cause as aforesaid, then, subject to the following sentence, the Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders (or an Affiliate of any Lender) a successor Agent (with the consent of such successor Agent and notice to Borrower) for Lender, whereupon such successor Agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of Agent, and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent effective upon such appointment, consent and notice, and Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loan. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as administrative agent by the date that is thirty (30) days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent or removal for cause as aforesaid upon the election of the Lenders, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.10         Administrative Agent Advances.

(a)          Agent is authorized, from time to time, in Agent’s sole discretion to expend funds to the extent permitted by the Loan Documents, on behalf of Lender (“Administrative Agent Advances”), when Agent deems necessary or desirable to preserve or protect the Properties or any portion thereof (including those with respect to property taxes, insurance premiums, and other costs, fees and expenses with respect to operation, leasing, management, improvements, maintenance, repair, sale and disposition) (A) subject to Section 8.2, during the continuance of an Event of Default, and (B) after acquisition of all or a portion of any Property by foreclosure or other exercise of remedies hereunder.

130 

(b)          Administrative Agent Advances shall constitute obligatory advances of Lender under this Agreement, shall be repayable by Lenders on demand and shall be Obligations that are secured by the Loan Documents, and if unpaid by Lenders, as set forth below, shall bear interest at the rate applicable to such amount under the Loan. Agent shall notify each Lender in writing of each Administrative Agent Advance. Upon receipt of notice from Agent of its making of an Administrative Agent Advance, each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Ratable Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Administrative Agent Advance available to Agent, in same day funds in lawful money of the United States of America, to such account of Agent as Agent may designate on the first Business Day after Agent provides Lender with notice of the making of such Administrative Agent Advance.

Section 11.11      Ratable Share. (i) The liabilities of Lenders shall be several and not joint, (ii) no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Lender, and (iii) each Lender shall be liable to Borrower only for its respective Ratable Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all indemnities by Borrower and obligations for costs, expenses, damages or advances set forth herein shall run to and benefit each Lender in accordance with its Ratable Share.
