(c)         Provided that the Property, as applicable, is owned by each Borrower or a Permitted Transferee that is an Affiliate of each Borrower, the Policies may be part of a blanket policy covering the Maguire Properties, Inc. portfolio, provided that any such blanket policy shall provide not less than $1,000,000,000 of coverage, and otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 6.1.  Any blanket insurance Policy shall specifically allocate to each Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only such Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 6.1(a).
 
(d)         The general liability policy provided for or contemplated by Section 6.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in Section 6.1(a)(v), shall name each Borrower as the insured and Lender as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
 
(e)         All Policies provided for in Section 6.1 shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
 
(i)           no act or negligence of either Borrower, or anyone acting for either Borrower, or of any tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
 
(ii)           the Policies shall not canceled without at least thirty (30) days' notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured; and
 
(iii)           Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(iii)           All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and acceptance in all respects by Lender and by an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the "Casualty Consultant").  Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to prior review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant.  All costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant's fees, shall be paid by such Borrower.

VII.           RESERVE FUNDS
 
Section 7.1                                Intentionally Omitted .
 
Section 7.2                                Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund .
 
7.2.1               In General.  Each Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date (a) one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes applicable to its Property that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, and (b) subject to the provisions of Section 7.2.2, one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof in order to accumulate with Lender sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies (said amounts in (a) and (b) above hereinafter called the "Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund").  The Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund and the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount, shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by each Borrower to Lender.  Lender will apply the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by each Borrower pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof and under the Mortgage (or to Regular Payments (as defined below) and to the annual Deposit (as defined below) payable to the financing company under any Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement (as defined below), if applicable).  In making any payment relating to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Taxes) or insurer or agent (with respect to Insurance Premiums), without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof.  If the amount of the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 5.1.2 hereof, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to each Borrower, as applicable, or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund.  Any amount remaining in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund after the Debt has been paid in full shall be returned to each Borrower, as applicable,.  In allocating such excess, Lender may deal with the Person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property.  If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund is not or will not be sufficient to pay Taxes and Insurance Premiums by the dates set forth in (a) and (b) above, Lender shall notify the Borrower, as applicable, of such determination and such Borrower
 

75



 
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 the due date of the Taxes and/or thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies, as the case may be.
 
7.2.2               Blanket Insurance and Premium Financing.  For so long as a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement (as hereafter defined) remains in effect, in lieu of the amount of the Insurance Premiums to be paid by Borrower to Lender pursuant to clause (b) of Section 7.2.1, each Borrower shall pay to Lender the Financing Installment (as hereafter defined).  As used herein, the term "Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement" means the arrangement with one or more finance companies for the financing of certain blanket insurance policies maintained by such Borrower under a Property Insurance Sharing Agreement among Borrowers and certain of its affiliates.  Each year, each Borrower pays to such finance companies such Borrower's allocable share of the annual initial deposit (the "Deposit") and such Borrower's allocable share of ten (10) regular monthly payments (the "Regular Payments") due for each blanket policy.  The term "Financing Installment" as used herein means 1/12th of the aggregate of the Deposit and the Regular Payments for each annual period, as such amounts may be adjusted as hereinafter set forth.  Not less than twenty (20) days prior to each renewal date of each blanket policy, each Borrower will provide Lender in writing the estimated premium for such blanket policy for the following renewal period, and not less than ten (10) days after the renewal date, each Borrower will provide Lender in writing the actual amount of such premium.  Each Borrower will also notify Lender in writing within ten (10) days after any change in the amounts allocated to the Property under the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement or any other change in premiums or amounts due from such Borrower under the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement.  Thereafter, the "Financing Installment" shall be adjusted as reasonably determined by Lender.  In addition, each Borrower shall pay to Lender pursuant to this paragraph such amounts so that Lender is at all times holding a reserve sufficient to pay any Regular Payment or any Deposit which may be due within the one (1) month period after the date of determination of the required reserve amount.  In the event of any material change in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, the foregoing provisions shall be modified as reasonably determined by Lender in order to carry out the intent and purposes thereof.
 
7.2.3               Initial Blanket Insurance Premium Deposit.  For the period from the Closing Date through June 27, 2007, the Properties will be covered by a blanket insurance policy as described above, but instead of participating in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, each Borrower, as applicable, will pay its allocable share of the premium in a single installment, due approximately 30 days after the Closing Date.  Each Borrower's allocable share of the annual premium for the blanket policy for the period from the Closing Date through June 27, 2007 is $121,151.  In addition to the amounts required pursuant to Section 7.2.1, each Borrower will deposit $777,369 in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund on the Closing Date; each Borrower will notify Lender in writing at least ten days in advance of the date when such premium is due, whereupon Lender will apply such amount to the payment of Borrower's allocable share of the blanket policy premium.  On the Payment Date in June 2007, Borrower will pay to Lender for deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund (in addition to the amounts required pursuant to Section 7.2.1) the sum of $278,424 per month.
 

76



 
7.2.4               Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement.  Each Borrower intends to participate in the Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement beginning with the twelve month period that begins on June 27th  of any year and ends on or about the following June 27th (such 12 month period, an "Insurance Year").  Without limiting the generality of anything contained in Section 7.2.2 above, on the Payment Date in June, and on the first Payment Date in each succeeding Insurance Year in which each Borrower participates in a Blanket Insurance Premium Financing Arrangement, such Borrower will pay to Lender for deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Financing Installment for the then current Insurance Year, plus (b) the amount, if any, by which (i) the aggregate amount deposited in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund on the three most recent Payment Dates is less than (ii) three times the amount of the Financing Installment for the then current Insurance Year, and on the next eleven succeeding Payment Dates each Borrower will pay to Lender for deposit in the Tax and Insurance Escrow Fund the amount of the then-applicable Financing Installment.
 
Section 7.3                                Replacements and Replacement Reserve .
 
7.3.1               Replacement Reserve Fund.  From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default (whether or not such Event of Default is cured), each Borrower shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date the applicable Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit, which is the amount reasonably estimated by Lender in its sole discretion to be due for replacements and repairs required to be made to the Property during the calendar year (collectively, the "Replacements").  Amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers' "Replacement Reserve Fund" and the account in which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as Borrowers' "Replacement Reserve Account".  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall not require Borrowers' payment of the Replacement Reserve Monthly Deposit unless and until an Event of Default occurs.
 
7.3.2               Disbursements from Replacement Reserve Account.  Lender shall make disbursements from the Replacement Reserve Fund as requested by Borrowers, and approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion, no more frequently than once in any thirty (30) day period of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrowers of Lender's standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender for requests in excess of $50,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment.  Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers' expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of replacements and repairs of items in excess of $50,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
 
7.3.3               Balance in the Replacement Reserve Account.  The insufficiency of any balance in the Replacement Reserve Account shall not relieve Borrower from its obligation to fulfill all preservation and maintenance covenants in the Loan Documents.
 
Section 7.4                                Rollover Reserve .
 

77



 
7.4.1               Deposits to Rollover Reserve Fund.  On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with Lender the sum of Nine Million Nine Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($9,970,000) (the "Initial Rollover Reserve Deposit"), and Borrowers shall pay to Lender on each Payment Date after the second anniversary of the Closing Date the applicable Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit, which amounts shall be deposited with and held by Lender for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred following the date hereof.  In addition, Borrowers shall pay to Lender for deposit with Lender all funds received by Borrowers in connection with any cancellation, termination or surrender of any Lease, including, but not limited to, any surrender or cancellation fees, early termination fees, buy-out fees, or reimbursements for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.  All such amounts so deposited shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Fund" and the account to which such amounts are held shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Rollover Reserve Account".
 
7.4.2               Withdrawal of Rollover Reserve Funds.  Lender shall make disbursements from the Rollover Reserve Fund for tenant improvement and leasing commission obligations incurred by Borrowers.  All such expenses shall be approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion.  Lender shall make disbursements as requested by Borrower on a monthly basis in increments of no less than $5,000.00 upon delivery by Borrowers of Lender's standard form of draw request accompanied by copies of paid invoices for the amounts requested and, if required by Lender for requests in excess of $50,000.00 for a single item, lien waivers and releases from all parties furnishing materials and/or services in connection with the requested payment.  Lender may require an inspection of the Property at Borrowers' expense prior to making a monthly disbursement in order to verify completion of improvements in excess of $50,000.00 for which reimbursement is sought.
 
 
Section 7.5                                Reserve Funds, Generally .
 
(a)         Borrowers grant to Lender a first-priority perfected security interest in each of the Reserve Funds and any and all monies now or hereafter deposited in each Reserve Fund 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)         Neither Borrower shall, 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 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.  All interest or other earnings on

(d)         Each Borrower shall indemnify Lender and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all actions, suits, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, obligations and costs and expenses (including litigation costs and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) arising from or in any way connected with the Reserve Funds or the performance of the obligations for which the Reserve Funds were established.  Each Borrower shall assign to Lender all rights and claims such 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.

(xii)           if a material default by either Borrower has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure period under the Management Agreement (or any Replacement Management Agreement) and if such default
 

80



 
permits Manager thereunder to terminate or cancel the Management Agreement (or any Replacement Management Agreement) and a Replacement Management Agreement with a Qualified Manager has not been entered into within thirty (30) days after such termination or cancellation;
 
(xiii)                      if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable notice and cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to either Borrower, as applicable, or the Property, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt or to permit Lender to accelerate the maturity of all or any portion of the Debt;
 
(xiv)                      if either Borrower fails to deliver the Rollover Reserve Monthly Deposit as and when required by Section 7.4.1;
 
(xv)           if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the other terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement not specified in subsections (i) to (xiv) above, for ten (10) days after notice to Borrowers from Lender, in the case of any Default which can be cured by the payment of a sum of money, or for thirty (30) days after notice from Lender in the case of any other Default; provided, however, that if such non-monetary Default is susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such thirty (30) day period and provided further that Borrowers shall have commenced to cure such Default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) day period shall be extended for such time as is reasonably necessary for Borrower in the exercise of due diligence to cure such non-monetary Default, such additional period not to exceed ninety (90) days.
 
(b)         Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Property, including, without limitation, declaring the Debt to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrower and the Property, including, without limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vi), (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all other obligations of Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
 
 

81



 
or applicable to, Borrowers 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.  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 (i) Lender is not subject to any "one action" or "election of remedies" law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Property and the Mortgage has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Debt or the Debt has been paid in full.
 
(b)         Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents (the "Severed Loan Documents") in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder.  Each 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.  Each 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, such 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 such 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) each 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 such Borrower only as of the Closing Date.
 
(c)         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 each 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 either Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any
 

82



 
subsequent Default or Event of Default by such Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
 
(d)         The rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Section 8.2 are subject to the provisions of Section 9.4 hereof.
 
IX.           SPECIAL PROVISIONS
 
Section 9.1                                Sale of Notes and Securitization .  Borrowers acknowledge and agree 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").  At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrowers shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender in order to satisfy the market standards to which Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to:
 
(a)         provide additional and/or updated Provided Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably acceptable to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
 
(b)         assist in preparing descriptive materials for presentations to any or all of the Rating Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by either Borrower, the Principal and their respective affiliates to obtain, collect, and deliver information requested or required by Lender or the Rating Agencies;
 
(c)         deliver (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and enforceability with respect to the Properties, the Borrowers, the Principal and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
 
(d)         if required by any Rating Agency, use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Property, which estoppel letters, subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender and the Rating Agencies;
 
 

83



 
with the facts covered by such representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;
 
(f)         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 to reflect multiple components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note may have a different interest rate or rates, but shall have the same weighted average coupon as the original note), 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 nothing contained in this Section 9.1(f) shall result in any economic or other material adverse change in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (unless Borrowers are made whole by the holder of the Note) or result in any operational changes that are unduly burdensome to the Properties or Borrowers.
 
(g)         if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Principal, Manager 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
 
(h)         supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and substance reasonably required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.
 
All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrowers in connection with Borrowers' complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 shall be paid by Borrowers; provided, however, Borrowers shall not be required to expend more than $50,000.00 to comply with this Section 9.1 (expressly excluding any compliance obligations in Section 9.1.2 below).
 
9.1.2               Mezzanine Loans. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1 to the contrary, Borrowers covenant and agree that after the Closing Date and prior to a Securitization, Lender shall have the right to create one or more mezzanine loans (each, a "Mezzanine Loan"), to establish different interest rates and to reallocate principal balances of each of the Loan and any Mezzanine Loan(s) amongst each other and to reallocate the interest rate among the Loan and any Mezzanine Loan(s) and to require the payment of the Loan and any Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender; provided, that (i) in no event shall the weighted average interest rate of the Loan and any Mezzanine Loan(s) at any time, other than following an event of default, following any such reallocation or modification change from the weighted average interest rate for all in effect immediately preceding such reallocation, modification or creation of any Mezzanine Loan(s), and (ii) such Mezzanine Loan(s) will not materially increase Borrowers’ obligations and liabilities under the Loan Documents or materially decrease the rights of Borrowers under the Loan Documents (other than, in each case,
 

84



 
administratively or in a de minimus respect).  Borrowers shall execute and deliver such documents as shall reasonably be required by Lender as promptly as possible under the circumstances in connection with this Section 9.1.2, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers, Lender and the Rating Agencies, including, without limitation, in connection with the creation of any Mezzanine Loan, a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence such Mezzanine Loan, and Borrowers shall execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the creation of such Mezzanine Loan all of which shall be on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Loan Documents.  In addition, Borrowers shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any Mezzanine Loan (each, a "Mezzanine Borrower") and the applicable organizational documents of Borrowers shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any Mezzanine Borrower.  Further, in connection with any Mezzanine Loan, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender (i) opinions of legal counsel, in substantially the same form as were delivered in connection with the Loan, with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of the Mezzanine Loan and the Loan Documents, as amended and an Additional Insolvency Opinion for the Loan and a substantive non-consolidation opinion with respect to any Mezzanine Loan; (ii) UCC-9 insurance policies for the Mezzanine Loan; and (iii) a mezzanine endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy, each as reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies.
 
All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection with Borrower's complying with requests made under this Section 9.1.2 shall be paid by Borrower.
 
9.1.3               Re-Dating. In connection with a Securitization or other sale of all or a portion of the Loan, Lender shall have the right to modify all operative dates (including but not limited to payment dates, interest period start dates and end dates, etc) under the Loan Documents, by up to ten (10) days (such action and all related action is a "Re-Dating") provided that, in the event that Lender modifies the payment date, the new payment date shall not be sooner than the fifth day of the month.  Borrowers shall cooperate with Lender to implement any Re-Dating.  If Borrowers fail to cooperate with Lender within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Lender, Lender is hereby appointed as Borrowers’ attorney in fact to execute any and all documents necessary to accomplish the Re-Dating.
 
Section 9.2                                Securitization Indemnification .  (a) Each 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, each 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.
 

85



 
(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 the Disclosure Documents, including, without limitation, the sections entitled "Risk Factors," "Special Considerations," "Description of the Mortgages," "Description of the Mortgage Loans and Mortgaged Property," "The Manager," "The Borrower" and "Certain Legal Aspects of the Mortgage Loan," provided to Borrowers or their representatives and (B) such sections and such other information in the Disclosure Documents provided to such Borrowers or their representatives (to the extent such information relates to or includes any Provided Information or any information regarding the Properties, Borrowers, Manager, Guarantor and/or the Loan) (collectively with the Provided Information, the "Covered Disclosure Information") do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, (ii) jointly and severally indemnifying Lender, Credit Suisse (whether or not it is Lender), any Affiliate of Credit Suisse 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 Credit Suisse 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 (collectively, the "Indemnified Persons"), for any losses, claims, actual damages, liabilities, costs or expenses (including without limitation reasonable legal fees and expenses for enforcement of these obligations (collectively, the "Liabilities")) to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject to the extent the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Covered Disclosure Information or arise out of or are based upon the omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (iii) agreeing to reimburse each Indemnified Person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person, as they are incurred, in connection with investigating or defending the Liabilities.  Such 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 an 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 to the extent the Liabilities arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement of any material fact in the Covered Disclosure Information, or the omission to state in the Covered Disclosure Information a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements in the Covered Disclosure Information, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and (ii) 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.
 

86



 
(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 reasonable 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 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 Credit Suisse (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 Credit Suisse 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 proceedings.  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
 

87



 
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:  (i) 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 (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) 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 Indemnifying Persons further agree that the Indemnified Persons are intended third party beneficiaries under this Section 9.2.
 
(h)         The 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.
 
Section 9.3                                Intentionally Omitted .
 
Section 9.4                                Exculpation .  (a)  Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers to perform and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against such Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or in the Property, the Rents, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against each Borrower only to the extent of such Borrower's interest in its Property, in the Rents and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, agrees that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such action
 

88



 
or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name either Borrower as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of or any Guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignment of Leases; (f) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against either Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against either Property; or (g) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of either Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, actual damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(iv)           the removal or disposal of any portion of the applicable Property after an Event of Default;
 
(v)           the misappropriation or conversion by either Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any Casualty, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, (C) any Rents collected following an Event of Default and not applied toward the payment of the Debt, or (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance;
 
(vi)           failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges that can create Liens on any portion of the Properties;
 
(vii)           damage to either Property arising from the intentional misconduct or gross negligence of Borrowers, Guarantor, or any of their principals, officers, agents or employees;
 
 

89



 
security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to the Properties upon a foreclosure of the Property or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or action in lieu thereof;
 
(ix)           all claims raised by tenants in any Tenant Estoppel Letters received by Borrower and delivered to Lender as required in Section 3.2 herein; and
 
(x)           failure of Borrower to deposit into the Cash Management Account or the Rollover Reserve Account any amounts required to be deposited therein by Section 7.4.5.
 
(b)         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Mortgage or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Debt owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Debt shall be fully recourse to either Borrower (1) in the event of:  (a) such Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) Borrower, Guarantor, or any Affiliate or agent of either of them, soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition against such Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or directly or indirectly supporting any such involuntary petition; (c) such Borrower filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law, or soliciting or causing to be solicited petitioning creditors for any involuntary petition from any Person; (d) such Borrower consenting to or acquiescing in or joining in an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee, or examiner for such Borrower or any portion of its Property; (e) such Borrower making an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or admitting, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due; (2) if the first Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount is not paid when due; (3) if such Borrower fails to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity as required by, and in accordance with, the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (4) if Borrower fails to obtain Lender's prior consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering the Property, as applicable, as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage; or (5) if such Borrower fails to obtain Lender's prior consent to any Transfer as required by this Agreement or the Mortgage.

indebtedness evidenced by the Loan Documents or any covenant, stipulation promise, indemnity, agreement or obligation contained herein. In enforcing its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents, the Lender will look solely to the Property, the Borrower and/or the Guarantor for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents and for the performance of the provisions thereof. The Lender will not seek a deficiency or other money judgment against NSHE or NSHE’s member’s directors, officers, and employees and will not institute any separate action against NSHE by reason of any default that may occur in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents between Borrower and Lender. This Agreement on the part of the Lender shall not be construed in any way so as to affect or impair the lien of the Loan Documents or the Lender’s right to foreclose hereunder as provided by law or to limit or restrict any of the rights or remedies of the Lender in any foreclosure proceedings or other enforcement of payment of the indebtedness secured hereby out of and from the security given therefore, or to limit or restrict the right of Lender to pursue any actions or remedies against Borrower and/or Guarantor, subject to the provisions this Section 9.4.  For so long as NSHE owns any membership interest in Borrower, NSHE shall be a Restricted Party hereunder;  provided, however, the provisions of Section 5.2.10(b)(ii) or (c)(iii) will not apply to NSHE.  NSHE shall not resign as exchange accommodation titleholder or otherwise transfer its membership interest in Borrower to any Person other than Principal without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld in connection with any transfer by NSHE to another nationally-recognized exchange accommodator that agrees to take title to the membership interest subject to the Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement and the documents delivered in connection therewith, provided an Additional Insolvency Opinion acceptable to Lender is delivered.
 
Section 9.5                                Servicer .  At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer/trustee (the "Servicer") selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the "Servicing Agreement") between Lender and Servicer.  Borrowers shall be responsible for any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
 
X.           MISCELLANEOUS
