(a)  The Applicable Interest Rate with respect to the Loan shall be: (i) LIBOR plus the Spread with respect to the applicable Interest Accrual Period for a LIBOR Loan or (ii) the Prime Rate plus the Prime Rate Spread for a Prime Rate Loan if the Loan is converted to a Prime Rate Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2.3 (c) or (f).

Any change in the rate of interest hereunder due to a change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the first day on which such change in the Applicable Interest Rate shall

27


 

 
become effective, with the understanding that LIBOR shall change only on a Determination Date as set forth in the definition of LIBOR. Each determination by Lender of the Applicable Interest Rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(c) In the event that Lender 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 Lender shall forthwith give notice by telephone of such determination, confirmed in writing, to Borrower at least one (1) day prior to the last day of the related Interest Accrual Period.

Whenever any Foreign Tax is payable pursuant to applicable law by Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, Borrower shall send to Lender an original official receipt, if available, or certified copy thereof showing payment of such Foreign Tax.

(ii) shall hereafter have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by any amount deemed by Lender to be material; or
 
(iii) shall hereafter impose on Lender any other condition and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining loans or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder;

This provision shall survive payment of the Note in full and the satisfaction of all other obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
(i) Lender shall not be entitled to claim compensation pursuant to this Section 2.2.3 for any Foreign Taxes, increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder, or any reduced rate of return, which was incurred or which accrued more than ninety (90) days before the date Lender notified Borrower of the change in law or other circumstance on which such claim of compensation is based and delivered to Borrower a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.2.3, which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

By execution of the Loan Borrower acknowledges that it believes the Loan to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that said holder shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists. strict compliance with applicable usury law. In furtherance thereof, Lender and Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement, or in any other instrument executed in connection herewith, shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by applicable law; that neither Borrower nor any guarantors, endorsers or other parties now or hereafter becoming liable for payment of the Loan shall ever be obligated or required to pay interest on the Loan at a rate in excess of the maximum interest that may be lawfully charged under applicable law; and that the provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of the Loan and any other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection herewith which may be in apparent conflict herewith. Lender expressly disavows any intention to charge or collect excessive unearned interest or finance charges in the event the maturity of the Loan is accelerated. If the maturity of the Loan shall be accelerated for any reason or if the principal of the Loan is paid prior to the end of the term of the Loan, and as a result thereof the interest received for the actual period of existence of the Loan exceeds the applicable maximum lawful rate, Lender shall, at its option, either refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable law as a result of such excess interest. In the event that Lender shall contract for, charge or receive any amount or amounts and/or any other thing of value which are determined to constitute interest which would increase the effective interest rate on the Loan to a rate in excess of that permitted to be charged by applicable law, an amount equal to interest in excess of the lawful rate shall, upon such determination, at the option of

31


 

 
Lender, be either immediately returned to Borrower or credited against the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable law as a result of such excess interest shall be inapplicable. By execution of the Loan Borrower acknowledges that it believes the Loan to be non-usurious and agrees that if, at any time, Borrower should have reason to believe that the Loan is in fact usurious, it will give Lender notice of such condition and Borrower agrees that said holder shall have ninety (90) days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if in fact such exists.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
Section 4.1 Borrower Representations. Borrower represents and warrants as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:
 
4.1.1 Organization.  Borrower has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership, management and operation of Mortgage Borrower. The ownership interests of Borrower are as set forth on the organizational chart attached hereto as Schedule II.
 
4.1.2 Proceedings.  Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower enforceable against Borrower in accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).
 
4.1.3 No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by Borrower will not conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which any of Borrower’s property or assets is subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any statute or any order, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or any of Borrower’s properties or assets, and any consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and is in full force and effect.
 
4.1.4 Litigation.  There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or the Property, which actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or the Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor or the condition or ownership of the Property.
 

47


 
 
4.1.5 Agreements.  Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Property or the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property are bound. Neither Borrower nor Mortgage Borrower has any material financial obligation under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or Mortgage Borrower is a party or by which Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property is otherwise bound, other than (a) obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property as permitted pursuant to clause (t) of the definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 hereof and (b) obligations under the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, as applicable.
 
4.1.6 Title.  The Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement is the record and beneficial owner of, and Borrower has good and marketable title to the Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Liens created by the Loan Documents. The Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value, operation or use of the Property (as currently used) or Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral, will create a valid lien on, and security interest in and to, the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms thereof. To Borrower’s knowledge, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting the Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created by the Mortgage Loan Documents.
 
4.1.7 Solvency.  Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of the Loan, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted. Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond its ability to pay such debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective constituent Persons, and none of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. None of Borrower, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective constituent Persons is contemplating either the

48


 

 
filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of its assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any of their respective constituent Persons.
 
4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure.  No statement of fact made by Borrower in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, the Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower.
 
4.1.9 No Plan Assets.  Borrower does not sponsor, is not obligated to contribute to and is not itself an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA, and none of the assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA and (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to the exercise by Lender of any of its rights under the Loan Documents.
 
4.1.10 Compliance.  Borrower and, to Borrower’s knowledge, the Property (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any Governmental Authority. There has not been committed by Borrower, or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use of the Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of forfeiture as against the Property or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents.
 
4.1.11 Financial Information.  All financial data, including, without limitation, the statements of cash flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in respect of Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or the Property in connection with the Loan (a) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (b) accurately represent the financial condition of the Property as of the date of such reports, and (c) to the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that are known to Borrower and reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on Borrower, the Collateral, Mortgage Borrower or the Property or the operation thereof as an office building, except as referred to or reflected in said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in the financial

49


 

 
condition, operation or business of Mortgage Borrower or Borrower from that set forth in said financial statements.
 
4.1.12 Condemnation.  No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to Borrower’s best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of the Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to the Property.

4.1.17 Enforceability.  The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower, Principal or Guarantor, including, without limitation, 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 (subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations), and none of Borrower, Principal or Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

69


 

 
sale or transfer, (C) no such sale or transfer of any direct ownership interests in Borrower, General Partner or Mortgage Borrower shall be permitted, (D) Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid any and all costs imposed or incurred as a result of any such sale or transfer, including, without limitation, any transfer taxes, and (E) if after giving effect to any such sale or transfer, more than forty-nine percent (49%) in the aggregate of direct or indirect interests in a Restricted Party are owned by any Person and its Affiliates that owned less than forty-nine percent (49%) direct or indirect interest in such Restricted Party as of the Closing Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender an Additional Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies; and (iii) the execution by Mortgage Borrower of a license agreement and related documents for the operation of a health club on the Property with a wholly owned taxable reit subsidiary of the Operating Partnership provided that Mortgage Borrower delivers to Lender an executed copy of such license agreement and related documents and all fees payable to Mortgage Borrower arising from such license are deposited into the Lockbox Account.

This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.
 
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and without limiting any Transfers or rights under Section 5.2.10(g) hereof, Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to a Transfer (or to an unlimited number of Transfers) of the Property by Mortgage Borrower (or the then owner of the Property), provided that the following terms and conditions are satisfied: (i) Borrower (or the then owner of the Property) shall have given at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender of the proposed Transfer and the proposed Transfer shall not be effective earlier than the date that is three (3) months after the first Payment Date, (ii) no Default, Mortgage Loan Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing; (iii) an express assumption of this Agreement, the Note, and the other Loan Documents by the principals of the proposed transferee of the Property, and a pledge by the principals of the proposed transferee of all of their equity interest in the transferee of the Property as security for the Loan in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in each case subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof; (iv) payment of all of fees and expenses incurred in connection with such Transfer, including, without limitation, the cost of any third party reports, legal fees and expenses, Rating Agency fees and expenses or required legal opinions; (v) payment of a non-refundable $5,000 application fee and an assumption fee equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to the initial transfer and one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the Outstanding Principal Balance with respect to each transfer thereafter; (vi) the delivery of an Additional Insolvency Opinion reflecting the proposed Transfer reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender; (vii) the proposed transferee’s

(iv) the legal and financial structure of Mortgage Borrower and Borrower and their shareholders, partners or members, and the single purpose nature and bankruptcy

71


 

 
remoteness of Mortgage Borrower and Borrower and its shareholders, partners or members, after such Transfer shall satisfy Lender’s then current applicable underwriting criteria and requirements;
 
(v) if, after taking into account any prior Transfers pursuant to this Section 5.2.10(g), whether to the proposed transferee or otherwise, such Transfer (or series of Transfers) shall result in (A) the proposed transferee, together with all members of his/her immediate family or any affiliates thereof, owning in the aggregate (directly, indirectly or beneficially) more than 49% of the interests in Mortgage Borrower (or any entity directly or indirectly holding an interest in Mortgage Borrower), or (B) a Transfer in the aggregate of more than 49% of the interests in Mortgage Borrower or Borrower as of the date hereof, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, (y) an Additional Insolvency Opinion reasonable satisfactory to Lender, and (z) at the request of Lender, written confirmations from the Rating Agencies that such Transfer or series of Transfers will not result in a qualification, downgrade or withdrawal of the then applicable ratings of the Securities; and

RESERVE FUNDS
 
Section 7.1 Intentionally Omitted. 
 
Section 7.2 Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. (a)  Borrower shall pay to Lender (i) on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their delinquency date, and (ii) (A) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $22,057.71 (the “Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Installment”) and (B) (1) for so long as the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) remains in full force and effect, on each Payment Date, the Financing Installment (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement for the next occurring payment under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement and/or (2) with respect to any Insurance Premiums not covered by a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, on each Payment Date, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies for an annual period upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender

75


 

 
sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii) being hereinafter called the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds”). Such amounts will be transferred by Lender to an account held by Lender (the “Tax and Insurance Escrow Account”). The Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and the Monthly Interest Payment shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Provided no Event of Default shall exist, Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof and/or to payments due to the applicable finance company under the applicable Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, as applicable. In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 5.1.2 and 6.1 hereof, Lender shall credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds. Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to Borrower. In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If at any time Lender determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds are not or will not be sufficient to pay the items set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above, Lender shall notify Borrower of such determination and Borrower shall increase its monthly payments to Lender by the amount that Lender estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to delinquency of the Taxes and/or expiration of the Policies, as the case may be. All earnings of interest on the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds shall become part of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds and shall be disbursed in accordance with this Section 7.2. If Lender so elects at any time, Borrower shall provide, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract for the Term issued by a tax reporting agency acceptable to Lender. If Lender does not so elect, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for the cost of making annual tax searches throughout the Term.
 
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.2, with respect to the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit, and the required monthly payments required under clause (ii) above through the end of the current policy year, the parties agree as follows: for the period from the date hereof through August 1, 2005, the Property will be covered by a blanket insurance policy as described in Section 6.1(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, but instead of participating in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, Borrower will pay its allocable share of the Insurance Premiums in a single installment, due approximately thirty (30) days after the date hereof. Borrower’s allocable share of the annual Insurance Premiums for the blanket policy for the period from the date hereof through August 1, 2005 is the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit. Borrower has deposited the Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds on the date hereof (as set forth in clause (ii)(A) in the immediately preceding paragraph). Borrower will notify Lender in writing at least ten (10) days in advance of the date when such Insurance Premium is due, whereupon Lender will apply such amount to the payment of Borrower’s allocable share of the blanket policy Insurance Premium. On the Payment Dates in April, May, June and July of 2005, Borrower will pay to Lender for deposit in the Tax and

76


 

 
Insurance Escrow Funds the sum of $4,826.78 per month. On each Payment Date commencing with the Payment Date occurring in August, 2005, Borrower shall make payments into the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds as set forth in the preceding paragraph.
 
(c) Borrower shall be relieved of its obligation to make deposits of Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds under Section 7.2 above, provided that (i) Mortgage Borrower is required to and does make monthly deposits to a tax escrow account under the Mortgage Loan, and (ii) Lender receives evidence acceptable to it of the making of such deposits and of the payment of all such Taxes.
 
Section 7.3 Intentionally Omitted. 
 
Section 7.4 Rollover Reserve Funds. In the event that Rollover Reserve Funds (as defined the Mortgage Loan Agreement) are transferred to Lender pursuant to Section 7.7 of this Agreement or Section 3.1(b) of the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement, the amounts so transferred shall be held and disbursed by Lender and Borrower shall make additional contributions to the Rollover Reserve Funds in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date, whether on not the Mortgage Loan Agreement has been terminated. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as “Rollover Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Rollover Reserve Account”. 
 
Section 7.5 Charles Schwab Reserve Funds. In the event that Charles Schwab Reserve Funds (as defined the Mortgage Loan Agreement) are transferred to Lender pursuant to Section 7.7 of this Agreement or Section 3.1(b) of the Mezzanine Cash Management Agreement, the amounts so transferred shall be held and disbursed by Lender and Borrower shall make additional contributions to the Charles Schwab Reserve Funds in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, as in effect on the Closing Date, whether on not the Mortgage Loan Agreement has been terminated, provided, however, that for purposes of such Section 7.5, the term “Excess Cash Flow” used therein shall mean Excess Cash Flow as defined in this Agreement. All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as “Charles Schwab Reserve Funds” and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Charles Schwab Reserve Account”. 
 
Section 7.6 Reserve Funds, Generally. (a)  Borrower grants to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in all of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each reserve account as additional security for payment of the Debt. Until expended or applied in accordance herewith, the Reserve Funds shall constitute additional security for the Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender may, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies available to Lender, apply any sums then present in any or all of the Reserve Funds to the payment of the Debt in any order in its sole discretion. The Reserve Funds shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender.
 
(b) Borrower shall not, without obtaining the prior consent of Lender, further pledge, assign or grant any security interest in any Reserve Fund or the monies deposited therein or permit any lien or encumbrance to attach thereto, or any levy to be made thereon, or any

77


 

 
UCC-1 Financing Statements, except those naming Lender as the secured party, to be filed with respect thereto.
 
(c) The Reserve Funds shall be held in an Eligible Account and shall bear interest at a money market rate selected by Lender. Provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest or other earnings on any of the Reserve Funds (with the exception of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Funds, which shall belong to Lender) shall be added to and become a part of such Reserve Funds and shall be disbursed in the same manner as other monies comprising such Reserve Funds. Borrower shall have the right to direct Lender to invest sums on deposit in the Eligible Account in Permitted Investments provided that (i) such investments are then regularly offered by Lender for accounts of this size, category and type, (ii) such investments are permitted by applicable federal, state and local rules, regulations and laws, (iii) the maturity date of the Permitted Investment is not later than the date on which the applicable Reserve Funds are required for payment of an obligation for which such Reserve Funds were created, and (iv) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Borrower shall be responsible for payment of any federal, state or local income or other tax applicable to the interest or income earned on the Reserve Funds. No other investments of the Reserve Funds shall be permitted except as set forth in this Section 7.6. Borrower shall bear all reasonable costs associated with the investment of the sums in the account in Permitted Investments. Such costs shall be deducted from the income or earnings on such investment, if any, and to the extent such income or earnings shall not be sufficient to pay such costs, such costs shall be paid by Borrower promptly on demand by Lender. Lender shall have no liability for the rate of return earned or losses incurred on the investment of the sums in Permitted Investments.
 
(d) Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established. Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims Borrower may have against all Persons supplying labor, materials or other services which are to be paid from or secured by the Reserve Funds; provided, however, that Lender may not pursue any such right or claim unless an Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured.
 
Section 7.7 Transfer of Reserve Funds Under Mortgage Loan. If Mortgage Lender waives any reserves or escrow accounts required in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement which reserves or escrow accounts are also required in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, or if the Mortgage Loan is refinanced or paid off in full (without a prepayment of the Loan) and Reserve Funds that are required hereunder are not required under the new mortgage loan, if any, then Borrower shall cause any amounts that would have been deposited into any reserves or escrow accounts in accordance with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement to be transferred to and deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Article VII (and Borrower shall enter into a cash management and lockbox agreement for the benefit of Lender substantially similar to the arrangement entered into between Mortgage Borrower and Mortgage Lender at the time of the closing of the Mortgage Loan), and, if any letters of credit have been substituted by Mortgage Borrower for any such reserves or

78


 

 
escrows as may be specifically permitted by the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then Borrower shall also cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Lender to be held by Lender upon the same terms and provisions as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 8.2 Remedies. (a)  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any of the Collateral. Any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (i) Lender shall not 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 Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
 
(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of

81


 

 
the Collateral for the satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral or any part thereof, in its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents and not previously recovered.
 
(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and (ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
 
(d) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender 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 Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
 
(e) Lender may, but without any obligation to do so and without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any obligation hereunder or being deemed to have cured any Event of Default hereunder, make, do or perform any obligation of Borrower hereunder in such manner and to such extent as Lender may deem necessary. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender 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’

82


 

 
fees to the extent permitted by law), with interest as provided in this Section 8.2, 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 into the date of payment to Lender. All such costs and expenses incurred by Lender together with interest thereon calculated at the Default Rate shall be deemed to constitute a portion of the Debt and be secured by the liens, claims and security interests provided to Lender under the Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Lender therefore.
 
(f) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly, concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
 
(g) For the purpose of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, powers and privileges granted in this Section 8.2, Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender 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 subsection in the name and on behalf of Borrower. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.

Section 9.1 Sale of Note and Securitization. (a) Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a “Securitization”).

(vi) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new component notes to replace the original Note or modify the original Note, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified Note shall have the same initial weighted average coupon of the original Note and provide for the same total amortization payments, but each such new notes or modified Note may have different interest rates and provide for varying amortization payments), and modify the Cash Management Agreement with respect to the newly created components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to modify any of the Loan Documents if such modification or amendment would (i) have a material adverse economic effect on Borrower or (ii) modify or amend the Loan term, amortization or any other economic term of the Loan or otherwise materially adversely increase the obligations or materially decrease the rights of Borrower under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, modifying the transfer, recourse, prepayment, events of default, or remedy provisions, or the organizational documents of Borrower or its Affiliates;
 

84


 
 
(vii) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Property, Borrower, Principal, Guarantor, Manager, the Sub-Manager, Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral and the Loan which is contained in a preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or any affiliate thereof; and
 
(viii) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports as may be in the possession or control of Borrower or its Affiliates in form and substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
 
(b) All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower in connection with Borrower complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower, except that Lender shall reimburse Borrower for all such costs and expenses in excess of $25,000.00.
 
Section 9.2 Securitization Indemnification. (a)  Borrower understands that certain of the Provided Information may be included in Disclosure Documents in connection with the Securitization and may also be included in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or provided or made available to investors or prospective investors in the Securities, the Rating Agencies, and service providers relating to the Securitization. In the event that the Disclosure Document is required to be revised prior to the sale of all Securities, Borrower will cooperate with the holder of the Note in updating the Disclosure Document by providing all current information necessary to keep the Disclosure Document accurate and complete in all material respects.
 
(b) The Indemnifying Persons agree to provide, in connection with the Securitization, an indemnification agreement (i) certifying that (A) the Indemnifying Persons have carefully examined such sections of the Disclosure Documents regarding the Property, Borrower, Manager and/or the Loan (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information) (collectively with the Provided Information, the “Covered Disclosure Information”) and (B) that the Covered Disclosure Information does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, any Affiliate of Lender that has filed any registration statement relating to the Securitization or has acted as the sponsor or depositor in connection with the Securitization, any Affiliate of Lender that acts as an underwriter, placement agent or initial purchaser of Securities issued in the Securitization, any other co-underwriters, co-placement agents or co-initial purchasers of Securities issued in the Securitization, and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, representatives, agents and Affiliates and each Person or entity who controls any such Person within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Person and collectively, the “Indemnified Persons”), for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the “Liabilities”) to which any such Indemnified Person may become

85


 

 
subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any of the Disclosure Documents, but only to the extent based upon Provided Information, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has had an opportunity to review the Disclosure Document, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which Borrower may otherwise have. Moreover, the indemnification provided for in clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be effective whether or not a separate indemnification agreement described in clause (i) above is provided.
 
(c) In connection with filings under the Exchange Act, the Indemnifying Persons jointly and severally agree to indemnify (i) the Indemnified Persons for Liabilities to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in the Provided Information, or the omission or alleged omission to state in the Provided Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Provided Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and which untrue statement or alleged untrue statement is not expressly disclosed to Lender by Borrower after Borrower has had an opportunity to review such filing under the Exchange Act, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Persons, as they are incurred, in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
 
(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of any claim or the commencement of any action, the Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Person, notify such Indemnifying Person in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided, however, that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under the indemnification provisions of this Section 9.2 except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and, provided further that the failure to notify such Indemnifying Person shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to an Indemnified Person otherwise than under the provisions of this Section 9.2. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Person, and it shall notify any Indemnifying Person thereof, such Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from any Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such claim or action, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable to the Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof except as provided in the following sentence; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnifying Person, on the one hand, and one or more Indemnified Persons on the other hand, and an Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnified Persons that are different or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying

86


 

 
Person, the Indemnified Person or Persons 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 Person or Persons. The Indemnified Person shall instruct its counsel to maintain reasonably detailed billing records for fees and disbursements for which such Indemnified Person is seeking reimbursement hereunder and shall submit copies of such detailed billing records to substantiate that such counsel’s fees and disbursements are solely related to the defense of a claim for which the Indemnifying Person is required hereunder to indemnify such Indemnified Person. No Indemnifying Person shall be liable for the expenses of more than one (1) such separate counsel unless such Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to another Indemnified Person.
 
(e) Without the prior consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Indemnifying Person 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 Person is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the Indemnifying Person shall have given Lender reasonable prior notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each Indemnified Person hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. As long as an Indemnifying Person has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify hereunder, such Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement made by any Indemnified Person without the consent of such Indemnifying Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
(f) The Indemnifying Persons agree that if any indemnification or reimbursement sought pursuant to this Section 9.2 is finally judicially determined to be unavailable for any reason or is insufficient to hold any Indemnified Person harmless (with respect only to the Liabilities that are the subject of this Section 9.2), then the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, shall contribute to the Liabilities for which such indemnification or reimbursement is held unavailable or is insufficient: (x) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, from the transactions to which such indemnification or reimbursement relates; or (y) if the allocation provided by clause (x) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (x) but also the relative faults of the Indemnifying Persons, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, as well as any other equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.2, (A) no party found liable for a fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any other party who is not also found liable for such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (B) the Indemnifying Persons agree that in no event shall the amount to be contributed by the Indemnified Persons collectively pursuant to this paragraph exceed the amount of the fees (by underwriting discount or otherwise) actually received by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the closing of the Loan or the Securitization.
 
(g) The Indemnifying Persons agree that the indemnification, contribution and reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 9.2 shall apply whether or not any Indemnified Person is a formal party to any lawsuits, claims or other proceedings. The

87


 

 
Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
 
(h) The rights, liabilities and obligations of the Indemnified Persons and the Indemnifying Persons under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
 
(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower shall have no obligation to act as depositor with respect to the Loan or an issuer or registrant with respect to the Securities issued in any Securitization.

Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies.

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 hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, costs and expenses of any kind (including, without limitation, Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of Borrower or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.
 
Section 10.20 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or written, including, without limitation, the Floating Rate CMBS Term Sheet dated February 26, 2005 between Borrower and Lender, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
