Borrower is the record owner of the Land.

CONDITIONS TO GRANT

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above granted and described Property unto and to the use and benefit of Lender its successors and assigns, forever, however, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, these presents are upon the express condition that, when all of the Obligations have been paid in full, Lender shall re-convey the Property and shall surrender this Security Instrument and all notes and instruments evidencing the Obligations to Borrower.

Article 2. PAYMENTS

Section 2.1. DEBT AND OBLIGATIONS SECURED. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are given for the purpose of securing the following, in such order of priority as Lender may determine in its sole discretion (the “Debt”): (a) the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note in lawful money of the United States of America; (b) the payment of interest, prepayment premiums, default interest, late charges and other sums, as provided in the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents (defined below); (c) the payment of all other moneys agreed or provided to be paid by Borrower in the Note, this Security Instrument or the Other Security Documents (collectively sometimes referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”); (d) the payment of all sums advanced pursuant to this Security Instrument to protect and preserve the Property and the lien and the security interest created hereby; (e) the payment of all sums reasonably advanced and costs and expenses reasonably incurred (including unpaid or unreimbursed servicing and special servicing fees) by Lender in connection with the Debt or any part thereof, any renewal, extension, or change of or substitution for the Debt or any part thereof, or the acquisition or perfection of the security therefor, whether made or incurred at the request of Borrower or Lender. This Security Instrument and the grants, assignments and transfers made in Article 1 are also given for the purpose of securing the performance of all other obligations of Borrower contained herein and the performance of each obligation of Borrower contained in any renewal, extension, amendment, modification, consolidation, change of, or substitution or replacement for, all or any part of this Security Instrument, the Note, or the Other Security Documents (collectively, the “Other Obligations”). Borrower’s obligations for the payment of the Debt and the performance of the Other Obligations shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Obligations.”

Section 2.2. PAYMENTS. Unless payments are made in the required amount in immediately available funds at the place where the Note is payable, remittances in payment of all

 

5


or any part of the Debt shall not, regardless of any receipt or credit issued therefor, constitute payment until the required amount is actually received by Lender in funds immediately available at the place where the Note is payable (or any other place as Lender, in Lender’s sole discretion, may have established by delivery of written notice thereof to Borrower) and shall be made and accepted subject to the condition that any check or draft may be handled for collection in accordance with the practice of the collecting bank or banks. Acceptance by Lender of any payment in an amount less than the amount then due shall be deemed an acceptance on account only, and the failure to pay the entire amount then due shall not cure any then-existing Event of Default (defined below).

Article 3. BORROWER COVENANTS

Borrower covenants and agrees that:

Section 3.1. PAYMENT OF DEBT. Borrower will pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided in the Note and in this Security Instrument.

Section 3.2. INCORPORATION BY REFERENCE. All the covenants, conditions and agreements contained in (a) the Note and (b) all and any of the documents other than the Note or this Security Instrument now or hereafter executed by Borrower and/or others and by or in favor of Lender, which wholly or partially secure or guaranty payment of the Note (the “Other Security Documents”), are hereby made a part of this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

Section 3.3. INSURANCE.

(a) Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, for the mutual benefit of Borrower and Lender, shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, during the entire term of this Security Instrument policies of insurance for Borrower and the Property providing at least the following coverages:

(i) comprehensive all risk insurance (“Special Form”) including, but not limited to, loss caused by any type of windstorm or hail on the Improvements and the Personal Property, (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Security Instrument shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) with a waiver of depreciation, but the amount shall in no event be less than the outstanding principal balance of the Loan; (B) containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and Personal Property waiving all co-insurance provisions or to be written on a no co-insurance form; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($25,000.00) for all such insurance coverage and (D) if any of the Improvements or the use of the Property shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, coverage for loss due to operation of law in an amount equal to the Full Replacement Cost, coverage for demolition costs and coverage for increased costs of construction. In addition, Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Note or (2) the maximum amount of

 

6


such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended or such lesser amount as Lender shall require; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender in the event the Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity, provided that the insurance required to be maintained pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) above shall be on terms consistent with the Special Form policy required pursuant to this subsection (i). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Security Instrument, the insurance coverage described in the foregoing subparagraphs (y) and (z) shall be required (1) as of the date hereof only if determined to be necessary by Lender based upon its reasonable evaluation of third party reports, and (2) at any time hereafter in the event subsequent third party reports indicate a change in the condition of or circumstances surrounding the Property;

(ii) rental loss insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above; (C) in an annual aggregate amount equal to 100% of all rents or estimated gross revenues from the operation of the Properties (as reduced to reflect actual vacancies and expenses not incurred during a period of Restoration) and covering rental losses for a period of at least eighteen (18) months, after the date of the casualty, and notwithstanding that the Policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides that after the physical loss to the Improvements and the Personal Property has been repaired, the continued loss of income will be insured until such income returns to the same level it was prior to the loss, or the expiration of six (6) months from the date of the completion of the Restoration, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period. The amount of such rental loss insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the gross income from the Property for the succeeding eighteen (18) month period and a reasonable vacancy factor acceptable to Lender. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be disbursed by Lender to Borrower immediately following Lender’s receipt thereof, provided no Event of Default is then in existence; provided, however, (i) if a Cash Management Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) then exists, such proceeds shall be deposited into the Cash Management Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and disbursed in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Cash Management Agreement, and (ii) that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrower of its obligations to pay the obligations secured by the Loan Documents on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iii) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the Property coverage form referenced in subsection (i), above, does not otherwise apply, (A) owner’s contingent or protective liability insurance, otherwise known as Owner Contractor’s Protective Liability, covering claims not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability insurance policy in (v) below; and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy the Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

 

7


(iv) comprehensive boiler and machinery insurance, if steam boilers or other pressure-fixed vessels are in operation, in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance policy required under subsection (i) above;

(v) commercial general liability insurance against claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a combined limit of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) in the aggregate and One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until reasonably required to be changed by Lender as provided in subsection 3.3(b) below; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) blanket contractual liability and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Section 13.1 to the extent the same is available;

(vi) automobile liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, if any, used by Borrower in the operation of the Property, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00);

(vii) umbrella liability insurance in an amount not less than Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($10,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) above, including, but not limited to, supplemental coverage for workers’ compensation and automobile liability, which umbrella liability coverage shall apply in excess of the automobile liability coverage in clause (vi) above;

(viii) so-called “dramshop” insurance, if applicable, or other liability insurance required in connection with the sale of alcoholic beverages; and

(ix) upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, such other reasonable insurance such as sinkhole or land subsidence insurance, and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Property located in or around the region in which the Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in Section 3.3(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), and (i) shall be issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies reasonably approved by Lender, and authorized or licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located, with claims paying ability/financial strength ratings of “AA” or better by S&P (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and Fitch (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and “Aa2” or better by Moody’s (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) and general policy ratings of A or better and financial classes of X or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc.; (ii) shall name Borrower as the insured and Lender as an additional insured, as its interests may appear; (iii) in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery and, if required pursuant to the provisions hereof, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a so called New York Non Contributory Standard Mortgagee Clause and (other than those strictly limited to liability protection) a

 

8


Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement (Form 438 BFU NS), or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to which all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iv) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (v) shall be maintained throughout the term of this Security Instrument without cost to Lender; (vi) shall be assigned and, if requested in writing by Lender, the originals (or duplicate originals certified to be true and correct by the applicable insurer or its agent) delivered to Lender; and (vii) shall contain such provisions, consistent with the provisions hereof, as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including, without limitation, endorsements or clauses providing that (I) neither Borrower, Lender nor any other party shall be a co insurer under said Policies, (II) that Lender shall receive at least ten (10) days prior written notice of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any Policy, (III) no act or negligence of Borrower, or anyone acting for 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, (IV) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums (defined below) thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, and (V) such Policies do not exclude coverage for acts of terror or similar acts of sabotage. Any blanket Policy shall specifically allocate to the Property the amount of coverage from time to time required hereunder and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Property in compliance with the provisions of Section 3.3(a). Borrower shall pay the premiums for such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”) as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the new Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender (provided that such Insurance Premiums have not been paid to Lender or Lender’s servicing agent pursuant to Section 3.5 hereof). If Borrower does not furnish such evidence and receipts at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of any apparently expiring Policy, then Lender may procure, but shall not be obligated to procure, such insurance and pay the Insurance Premiums therefor, and Borrower agrees to reimburse Lender for the cost of such Insurance Premiums promptly on demand. Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrower shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like; provided, however, such increased coverages shall not be requested more frequently than once every three years, and shall only be requested if such coverage is commercially available at commercially reasonable rates and such rates are consistent with those paid in respect of comparable properties in comparable locations, and Lender also reasonably determines that either (I) prudent owners of real estate comparable to the Property are maintaining same or (II) prudent institutional lenders (including without limitation, investment banks) to such owners are generally requiring that such owners maintain such insurance.

(c) If the Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give prompt notice of such damage to Lender and shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the completion of the repair and restoration of the Property as nearly as possible to the condition the Property was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty, with such alterations as may be approved by Lender (the “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 4.4 of this Security Instrument. Borrower shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. In case of loss covered by Policies, Lender may either (1) settle and adjust any claim, or (2) allow Borrower to agree with

 

9


the insurance company or companies on the amount to be paid upon the loss; provided, that (A) provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrower may adjust losses aggregating not in excess of the Threshold Amount (defined below) if such adjustment is carried out in a competent and timely manner and (B) if no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender shall not settle or adjust any such claim under clause (1), above, without the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In any case Lender shall and is hereby authorized to collect and receipt for any such insurance proceeds; and the reasonable expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall become part of the Debt and be secured hereby and shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender upon demand.

Section 3.4. PAYMENT OF TAXES, ETC. (a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 3.4(b) and 3.5 hereof, Borrower shall pay all taxes, assessments, water rates, sewer rents, governmental impositions, and other charges, including without limitation vault charges and license fees for the use of vaults, chutes and similar areas adjoining the Land, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Taxes”), all ground rents, maintenance charges and similar charges, now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the Property or any part thereof (the “Other Charges”), and all charges for utility services provided to the Property prior to the same becoming delinquent. Borrower will deliver to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s written request, evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges have been so paid or are not then delinquent. Borrower shall not suffer and shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged any lien or charge against the Property arising out of such Taxes, Other Charges and utility service charges. Except to the extent sums sufficient to pay all Taxes and Other Charges have been deposited with Lender in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument, Borrower shall furnish to Lender, promptly upon Lender’s written request, paid receipts for the payment of the Taxes and Other Charges.

(b) Borrower, at its own expense, may contest by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or in part of any of the Taxes, provided that (i) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents, (ii) Borrower is permitted to do so under the provisions of any other mortgage, deed of trust or deed to secure debt affecting the Property, (iii) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of the Taxes from Borrower and from the Property or Borrower shall have paid all of the Taxes under protest, (iv) such proceeding shall be permitted under and be conducted in accordance with the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder, (v) neither the Property nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, canceled or lost, (vi) Borrower shall have deposited with Lender adequate reserves for the payment of the Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon, unless Borrower has paid all of the Taxes under protest, and (vii) Borrower shall have furnished the security as may be required in the proceeding to insure the payment of any contested Taxes, together with all interest and penalties thereon.

Section 3.5. ESCROW FUND. Except as provided below, Borrower shall pay to Lender on the first day of each calendar month (a) one twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Taxes payable, or estimated by Lender to be payable, during the next

 

10


ensuing twelve (12) months and (b) one twelfth of an amount which would be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums due for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof (the amounts in (a) and (b) above shall be called the “Escrow Fund”). Borrower agrees to notify Lender immediately of any changes to the amounts, schedules and instructions for payment of any Taxes and Insurance Premiums of which it has obtained knowledge and authorizes Lender or its agent to obtain the bills for Taxes and Other Charges directly from the appropriate taxing authority. The Escrow Fund and the payments of interest or principal or both, payable pursuant to the Note shall be added together and shall be paid as an aggregate sum by Borrower to Lender. Lender will timely apply the Escrow Fund to payments of Taxes and Insurance Premiums required to be made by Borrower pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof. If the amount of the Escrow Fund shall exceed the amounts due for Taxes and Insurance Premiums pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 3.4 hereof, Lender shall promptly return any excess to Borrower. In disbursing such excess, Lender may deal with the person shown on the records of Lender to be the owner of the Property. If the Escrow Fund is not sufficient to pay the items set forth in (a) and (b) above, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, an amount which Lender shall estimate as sufficient to make up the deficiency. The Escrow Fund shall not constitute a trust fund and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. No earnings or interest on the Escrow Fund shall be payable to Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower shall not be required to make deposits to the Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 3.5 so long as (i) no Event of Default occurs and is continuing hereunder, (ii) Borrower pays all Insurance Premiums by no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the delinquency thereof, and (iii) Borrower provides Lender paid receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums by no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the delinquency thereof. Upon the occurrence of a failure of any of the conditions specified in clauses (i) through (iii) above, Borrower shall, upon Lender’s demand therefor, commence making the deposits to the Escrow Fund for Insurance Premiums required pursuant to this Section 3.5 commencing with the next Monthly Payment Date (as defined in the Note), which payments shall continue until Borrower corrects each such failure.

Section 3.6. CONDEMNATION. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding affecting the Land and/or the Improvements and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender is hereby irrevocably appointed as Borrower’s attorney in fact coupled with an interest, with exclusive powers to collect, receive and apply to the Debt (or provide to Borrower to pay for Restoration) any award or payment for any taking accomplished through a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding and, at any time during which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to make any compromise or settlement in connection therewith. All condemnation awards or proceeds shall be either (a) paid to Lender for application against the Debt or (b) applied to Restoration of the Property in accordance with Section 4.4 hereof. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi public authority through eminent domain or otherwise (including but not limited to any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Security Instrument and the Debt shall not be reduced until any award or payment therefor shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the award interest at the

 

11


rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. Any award or payment to be applied to the reduction or discharge of the Debt or any portion thereof may be so applied whether or not the Debt or such portion thereof is then due and payable. If the Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the award or payment, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been or may be sought, recovered or denied, to receive the award or payment, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the unpaid portion of the Debt.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3.6 or this Security Instrument to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of Section 4.4, below, Lender may elect to (y) apply the net proceeds of any condemnation award (after deduction of Lender’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, in collecting the same) in reduction of the Debt in such order and manner as Lender may elect, whether due or not, or (z) make the proceeds available to Borrower for the restoration or repair of the Property. Any implied covenant in this Security Instrument restricting the right of Lender to make such an election is waived by Borrower. In addition, Borrower hereby waives the provisions of any law prohibiting Lender from making such an election.

Section 3.7. LEASES AND RENTS. (a) Borrower does hereby absolutely and unconditionally assign to Lender, Borrower’s right, title and interest in all current and future Leases and Rents, it being intended by Borrower that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. Such assignment to Lender shall not be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any such Lease or otherwise impose any obligation upon Lender. Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, as may hereafter be requested by Lender to further evidence and confirm such assignment. Nevertheless, subject to the terms of this Section 3.7, Lender grants to Borrower a revocable license (revocable only as provided herein) to operate and manage the Property and to collect, retain, and enjoy the Rents pursuant to (and as such license may be limited by) the terms and conditions contained in the Restricted Account Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein and notwithstanding the rights granted to Lender pursuant to this Section 3.7, all Rents shall be deposited, held and applied pursuant to the provisions of the Restricted Account Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Acceleration Default, the license granted to Borrower herein shall automatically be revoked (subject to automatic reinstatement upon Borrower’s cure of the applicable Event of Default), and Lender shall, subject to the provisions of the Other Security Documents, immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents, whether or not Lender enters upon or takes control of the Property. Subject to the provisions of the Other Security Documents, Lender is hereby granted by Borrower the right, at its option, during any period of revocation of the license granted herein, to enter upon the Property in person, by agent or by court appointed receiver to collect the Rents. Any Rents collected during the revocation of the license shall, subject to any contrary provision of the Other Security Documents, be applied by Lender against the Debt, in such order and priority as it may determine.

(b) All Leases entered into after the date hereof shall be written on (i) the standard form of lease which has been approved by Lender or (ii) an Acceptable Chain Tenant Form

 

12


(defined below). Commercially reasonable changes may be made to the Lender-approved standard lease or an Acceptable Chain Tenant Form without the prior written consent of Lender in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business. All Leases (including any Acceptable Chain Tenant Form) shall provide that they are subordinate to this Security Instrument (subject to Lender’s agreement (by Lender’s acceptance of this Security Instrument hereby given) not to disturb such tenant’s tenancies while they are in compliance with the terms of their Lease) and that the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Lender. As used herein, the term “Acceptable Chain Tenant Form” shall mean the form of lease promulgated by a prospective national or regional chain tenant that insists, on a programmatic or institutional basis, on using its own form of lease; provided, that, the provisions contained in such form of lease (i) are commercially reasonably for properties similar to the Property, (ii) do not contain any rights, options (including, without limitation, rights to purchase the Property or any interest therein) or obligations that would be unacceptable to a prudent secondary market lender substantially similar to Lender and (iii) do not have a Material Adverse Effect (defined below). As used above, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on (i) the Property, (ii) the business, profits, prospects, management, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, Guarantor or the Property, (iii) the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of the lien of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, or (iv) the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

(c) Borrower (i) shall observe and perform all material obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases and shall not do or permit to be done anything to impair the value of the Leases as security for the Debt; (ii) shall promptly send copies to Lender of all notices of default which Borrower shall receive thereunder; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits and prepaid first and last month’s rent collected in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business); and (iv) shall not execute any other assignment of the lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents. Borrower (A) shall enforce all material terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the lessees thereunder to be observed or performed, short of termination thereof and short instituting litigation (provided, that, Borrower (1) shall be obligated to so institute litigation if the failure to do so would have a Material Adverse Effect and (2) may terminate a Lease only in the event of (aa) a monetary event of default under such Lease or (bb) a material non-monetary default under such Lease where the tenant fails to cure such event of default 30 days beyond the cure period set forth in the subject Lease); (B) may alter, modify or change the terms of the Leases in any material respect without the prior written consent of Lender, provided that such alterations, modifications or changes are commercially reasonable alterations, modifications or changes agreed to in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business; (C) shall not, without Lender’s consent, convey or transfer or suffer or permit a conveyance or transfer of the Property or of any interest therein so as to effect a merger of the estates and rights, or a termination or diminution of the obligations of, tenants under the Leases; (D) may approve or consent to any assignment of or subletting under the Leases in accordance with the terms of such Leases, without the prior written consent of Lender; and (E) shall not cancel the Leases or accept a surrender thereof, except that any Lease may be canceled if at the time of the cancellation thereof a new Lease is entered into on substantially the same terms or more favorable terms as the canceled Lease.

(d) Borrower, as the lessor thereunder, may enter into proposed lease renewals and new leases without the prior written consent of Lender, provided each such proposed lease:

 

13


(i) shall have an initial term of not less than three (3) years or greater than ten (10) years; (ii) shall provide for rental rates (including rates during any renewal or option term or rates applicable to any expansion space) comparable to then existing local market rates that would be agreed to in an arm’s length transaction; (iii) shall be to a tenant which Borrower reasonably determines to be capable and reputable; and (iv) shall comply with the provisions of subsection (b) above (except that any lease renewals may be on the same form as the original lease). Borrower may enter into a proposed lease which does not satisfy all of the conditions set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) immediately above, provided Lender consents in writing to such proposed lease, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Borrower expressly understands that any and all proposed leases are included in the definition of “Lease” or “Leases” as such terms may be used throughout this Security Instrument, the Note and the Other Security Documents. Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases and any amendments or other agreements pertaining thereto.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender, enter into, renew, extend, terminate (for reasons other than non-payment of rent), reduce rents under, permit an assignment or subleasing of (other than in accordance with its express terms) or otherwise amend, modify or waive any material or economic provisions of, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease or any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease. As used herein, the term “Major Lease” shall mean (i) any Lease which, individually or when aggregated with all other Leases at the Property with the same tenant or any Affiliate (defined below) of such tenant, demises 25,000 square feet or more of the Property’s net rentable square footage, (ii) any Lease which contains any option, offer, right of first refusal or other similar entitlement to purchase all or any portion of the Property (which such rights shall be deemed to be exclusive of any rights under any Lease to extend the term thereof or to lease additional space at the Property) or (iii) any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Lease meeting the requirements of (i) or (ii) above. As used above, the term “Affiliate” shall mean, with respect to any tenant under any Lease at the Property, any affiliate of such tenant, unless such affiliate (i) operates under a separate trade name and under a separate corporate or other similar division from such tenant and (ii) is otherwise treated as a separate tenant under a separate Lease by Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s prior written consent shall be required in order for Borrower to terminate (for reasons other than non-payment of rent), accept a surrender of space under or shorten the term of any Lease (or any instrument guaranteeing or providing credit support for such Lease) if such applicable Lease, individually or when aggregated with all other Leases at the Property with the same tenant or any Affiliate of such tenant, demises 20,000 square feet or more of the Property’s net rentable square footage.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender’s prior approval is required for any leasing matters set forth in this Section, Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written request and all required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A MORTGAGE BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER”. In the event that Lender fails to respond to the leasing

 

14


matter in question within such time, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender, including, without limitation, lease comparables and other market information as reasonably required by Lender. Lender shall not be entitled to any fee or reimbursement in connection with any such review and approval process in excess of the reasonable fees or reimbursements customarily charged by lenders or servicers of secondary market loans similar to the Loan for actions similar to the foregoing.

(g) Intentionally Omitted.

(h) Intentionally Omitted.

(i) Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of written request therefore and a copy of the executed corresponding Lease, Lender shall execute and deliver to Borrower a subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement (an “SNDA”). If the form of the SNDA shall be prescribed by the Lease in question, and Lender shall have approved (or been deemed to have approved) such Lease, Lender shall execute and deliver the SNDA in the form prescribed by such Lease. In the case of any other Lease or any Lease as to which Lender’s approval is not required pursuant to the terms hereof where such tenant thereunder requests an SNDA, the SNDA to be executed and delivered by Lender shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, as such form may be modified to reflect reasonable changes thereto negotiated by Lender and such tenant. Lender agrees to negotiate in good faith the terms of the SNDA with any tenant under any Lease. All reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred by Lender in connection with the negotiation of such SNDA shall be payable by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after Lender’s written request therefore, whether or not the SNDA is ultimately executed and/or recorded.

Section 3.8. MAINTENANCE OF PROPERTY. Borrower shall cause the Property to be maintained in a good and safe condition and repair. The Improvements and the Personal Property shall not be removed, demolished or materially altered (except for normal replacement of the Personal Property) without the consent of Lender. Without limiting the foregoing, Lender hereby acknowledges that Borrower has informed Lender that Borrower is contemplating developing (for retail purposes) a portion of the Property located to the east of the premises currently demised to Kmart. Borrower shall promptly repair, replace or rebuild any part of the Property which may be destroyed by any casualty, or become damaged, worn or dilapidated or which may be affected by any proceeding of the character referred to in Section 3.6 hereof and shall complete and pay for any structure at any time in the process of construction or repair on the Land. Borrower shall not initiate, join in, acquiesce in, or consent to any change in any private restrictive covenant, zoning law or other public or private restriction, limiting or defining the uses which may be made of the Property or any part thereof which may have a material adverse affect on the use, operation or value of the Property. If under applicable zoning provisions the use of all or any portion of the Property is or shall become a nonconforming use, Borrower will not cause or permit the nonconforming use to be discontinued or abandoned without the express written consent of Lender.

Section 3.9. WASTE. Borrower shall not commit or suffer any waste of the Property or make any change in the use of the Property which will in any way materially increase the risk

 

15


of fire or other hazard arising out of the operation of the Property, or take any action that might invalidate or give cause for cancellation of any Policy, or do or permit to be done thereon anything that may in any way impair the value of the Property or the security of this Security Instrument. Borrower will not, without the prior written consent of Lender, permit any drilling or exploration for or extraction, removal, or production of any minerals from the surface or the subsurface of the Land, regardless of the depth thereof or the method of mining or extraction thereof.

Section 3.10. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Borrower shall promptly comply with all existing and future federal, state and local laws, orders, ordinances, governmental rules and regulations or court orders affecting or which may be interpreted to affect the Property, or the use thereof (“Applicable Laws”). Borrower shall from time to time, upon Lender’s request, based on Lender’s belief, in the exercise of Lender’s reasonable judgment, that the Property is in violation of any Applicable Law, provide Lender with evidence satisfactory to Lender that the Property complies with the Applicable Laws which Lender believes the Property is in violation of or is exempt from compliance with such Applicable Laws. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of the receipt by Borrower of any notice related to a violation of any Applicable Laws and of the commencement of any proceedings or investigations which relate to compliance with Applicable Laws.

Section 3.11. BOOKS AND RECORDS. (a) Borrower shall keep adequate books and records of account in accordance with Borrower’s current methods (which such methods are tax basis accounting) or such other method as may be acceptable to Lender in its reasonable discretion, in each case consistently applied (each or any of the foregoing, the “Approved Accounting Method”) and furnish to Lender:

(i) prior to Securitization (defined below), monthly (but in no event for a period of more than two (2) years from the date hereof) and, thereafter, quarterly, rent rolls signed, dated and certified by Borrower (or an officer, general partner or principal of Borrower if Borrower is not an individual) to be true and complete to the best knowledge of such person, detailing the names of all tenants of the Improvements, the portion of Improvements occupied by each tenant, the base rent and any other charges payable under each Lease and the term of each Lease, including the expiration date, and any other information as is reasonably required by Lender, within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar month or quarter (as applicable);

(ii) prior to Securitization (defined below), monthly (but in no event for a period of more than two (2) years from the date hereof) and, thereafter, quarterly, operating statements of the Property certified by Borrower (or an officer, general partner or principal of Borrower if Borrower is not an individual) to be true and complete to the best knowledge of such person, detailing the total revenues received, total expenses incurred, total capital expenditures (including, but not limited to, all capital improvements (including, but not limited to, tenant improvements)), leasing commissions and other leasing costs, total debt service and total cash flow, and if available, any quarterly operating statement prepared by an independent certified public accountant, within thirty (30) days after the close of each calendar month or quarter (as applicable); and

 

16


(iii) an annual balance sheet and profit and loss statement of Borrower, prepared and certified by Borrower, and, if available, any financial statements prepared by an independent certified public accountant within ninety (90) days after the close of each fiscal year of Borrower.

(b)

(i) Upon request from Lender, Borrower and its affiliates shall furnish to Lender: (1) an accounting of all security deposits held in connection with any Lease of any part of the Property; and (2) an annual operating budget presented on a monthly basis consistent with the annual operating statement described above for the Property and all proposed capital replacements and improvements.

(ii) (A) During the occurrence and continuance of a Cash Management Period (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement dated the date hereof), Lender shall have the right to approve each annual operating budget for the Property, which such budget shall set forth in reasonable detail budgeted monthly operating income and monthly budgeted operating capital and other expenses for the Property. Borrower shall submit to Lender (a) a draft operating budget in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender no later than thirty (30) days prior to the commencement of each Fiscal Year (defined below) during the continuance of a Cash Management Period; and (b) a final operating budget in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the commencement of each Fiscal Year during the continuance of a Cash Management Period. In no event shall Lender be required to make (or cause to be made) any disbursements from the Borrower Expense Subaccount (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement) until Lender has received the Approved Annual Budget (defined below) for the applicable Fiscal Year. Prior to Lender’s approval of a draft operating budget, the most recent Approved Annual Budget shall apply. Any annual operating budget approved by Lender in accordance with the terms hereof shall be referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the commencement of a Cash Management Period, Lender shall have the right to approve all requests by Borrower for disbursement for operating costs and expenses and Extraordinary Expenses (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement dated the date hereof) pursuant to the terms of such Cash Management Agreement until Lender’s approval of the Approved Annual Budget for the immediately succeeding Fiscal Year in accordance with this Subsection 3.11(b)(ii).

(B) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent Lender’s prior approval is required for any budget or budget matters set forth in this Section 3.11(b)(ii), Lender shall have ten (10) Business Days from receipt of written request and all required information and documentation relating thereto in which to approve or disapprove such matter, provided that such request to Lender is marked in bold lettering with the following language: “LENDER’S RESPONSE IS REQUIRED WITHIN TEN (10) BUSINESS DAYS OF RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE (SUBJECT TO LENDER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE AN EXTENSION NOTICE) PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF A MORTGAGE BETWEEN THE UNDERSIGNED AND LENDER” and the envelope containing the request must be marked “PRIORITY.” Borrower shall be further obligated to send to Lender a subsequent written notice (the “Extension Notice”) if Lender does not respond to Borrower’s initial ten (10) Business Day Notice, which Extension Notice shall not be delivered by Borrower until the expiration of the

 

17


initial ten (10) Business Day period set forth above. In the event that Lender fails to respond to the budget or budget matter in question within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Extension Notice, Lender’s approval shall be deemed given for all purposes. Borrower shall provide Lender with such information and documentation as may be reasonably required by Lender.

(c) Borrower and its affiliates shall furnish Lender with such other additional financial or management information as may, from time to time, be reasonably required by Lender.

(d) If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide Lender with the following financial statements (it being understood that Lender shall request (i) full financial statements only if it anticipates that the principal amount of the Loan at the time of Securitization may, or if the principal amount of the Loan at any time during which the Loan is included in a Securitization does, equals or exceeds 20% of the aggregate principal amount of all mortgage loans included in the Securitization and (ii) summaries of such financial statements only if the principal amount of the Loan at any such time equals or exceeds 10% of such aggregate principal amount):

(i) As of the date of the closing of the Loan (the “Closing Date”), a balance sheet with respect to the Property for the two most recent fiscal years of Borrower or Sponsor (each such year, a “Fiscal Year”), meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Act (defined below) and statements of income and statements of cash flows with respect to the Property for the three most recent Fiscal Years, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X, and, to the extent that such balance sheet is more than 135 days old as of the Closing Date, interim financial statements of the Property meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 and 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X (all of such financial statements, collectively, the “Standard Statements”); provided, however, to the extent the Property that has been acquired by Borrower from an unaffiliated third party (an “Acquired Property”) and as to which the other conditions set forth in Section 210.3-14 of Regulation S-X for the provision of financial statements in accordance with such Section have been met (other than any Property that is a hotel, nursing home or other property that would be deemed to constitute a business and not real estate under Regulation S-X and as to which the other conditions set forth in Section 210.3-05 of Regulation S-X for provision of financial statements in accordance with such Section have been met (a “Business Property”)), in lieu of the Standard Statements otherwise required by this Section, Borrower shall instead provide the financial statements required by such Section 210.3-14 of Regulation S-X; provided, further, however, with respect to any Business Property which is an Acquired Property, Borrower shall instead provide the financial statements required by Section 210.3-05 (such Section 210.3-14 or Section 210.3-05 financial statements referred to herein as (“Acquired Property Statements”)).

(ii) Not later than 30 days after the end of each fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, a balance sheet of the Property as of the end of such fiscal quarter, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 of Regulation S-X, and statements of income and statements of cash flows of the Property for the period commencing on the day following the last day of the most recent Fiscal Year and ending on the date of such balance sheet and for the corresponding period of the most recent Fiscal Year, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X (provided, that if for such corresponding period of the most recent Fiscal Year

 

18


Acquired Property Statements were permitted to be provided hereunder pursuant to paragraph (i) above, Borrower shall instead provide Acquired Property Statements for such corresponding period). If requested by Lender, Borrower shall also provide “summarized financial information,” as defined in Section 210.1-02(bb) of Regulation S-X, with respect to such quarterly financial statements.

(iii) Not later than 60 days after the end of each Fiscal Year following the Closing Date, a balance sheet of the Property as of the end of such Fiscal Year, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-01 of Regulation S-X, and statements of income and statements of cash flows of the Property for such Fiscal Year, meeting the requirements of Section 210.3-02 of Regulation S-X. If requested by Lender, Borrower shall provide summarized financial information with respect to such annual financial statements.

(iv) Within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Lender in connection with the Securitization of this Loan, such additional financial statements, such that, as of the date (each a “Disclosure Document Date”) of each Disclosure Document (defined below), Borrower shall have provided Lender with all financial statements as described in paragraph (i) above; provided that the Fiscal Year and interim periods for which such financial statements shall be provided shall be determined as of such Disclosure Document Date.

(v) In the event Lender determines, in connection with a Securitization, that the financial statements required in order to comply with Regulation S-X or Applicable Laws are other than as provided herein, then notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, Lender may request, and Borrower shall promptly provide, such combination of Acquired Property Statements and/or Standard Statements as may be necessary for such compliance.

(vi) Any other or additional financial statements, or financial, statistical or operating information, as shall be required pursuant to Regulation S-X or other Applicable Laws in connection with any Disclosure Document or any filing under or pursuant to the Exchange Act in connection with or relating to a Securitization (hereinafter an “Exchange Act Filing”) or as shall otherwise be reasonably requested by Lender to meet disclosure, Rating Agency or marketing requirements.

(vii) All financial statements provided by Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and shall meet the requirements of Regulation S-X and other Applicable Laws.

All other financial statements shall be certified by the chief financial officer of Borrower, which certification shall state that such financial statements meet the requirements set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph.

Section 3.12. PAYMENT FOR LABOR AND MATERIALS. Borrower will promptly pay when due all bills and costs for labor, materials, and specifically fabricated materials incurred in connection with the Property and never permit to exist (subject to Borrower’s right to contest any such matter as described below) beyond the due date thereof in respect of the Property or any part thereof any lien or security interest, even though inferior to the liens and the security interests hereof. Nothing contained herein shall, however, affect or impair Borrower’s ability to diligently and in good faith contest any lien or bill for labor or materials, provided that any lien placed upon the Property must be fully and irrevocably discharged (by bond or otherwise) at least 30 days prior to the date such lien could otherwise be foreclosed upon pursuant to Applicable Law.

Section 3.13. PERFORMANCE OF OTHER AGREEMENTS. Borrower shall observe and perform each and every term to be observed or performed by Borrower pursuant to the terms of any agreement or recorded instrument affecting or pertaining to the Property, or given by Borrower to Lender for the purpose of further securing an obligation secured hereby and any amendments, modifications or changes thereto.

Section 3.14. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.

(a) Borrower shall (i) promptly perform and observe all of the covenants required to be performed and observed by it under the agreement between Manager and Borrower pursuant to which the manager of the Property (the “Manager”) is employed to perform management services for the Property (the “Management Agreement”) and do all things necessary to preserve and to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any default under the Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a copy of any notice of default or other material notice received by Borrower under the Management Agreement; (iv) promptly give notice to Lender of any notice or information that Borrower receives which indicates that Manager is terminating the Management Agreement or that Manager is otherwise discontinuing its management of the Property; and (v) promptly enforce the performance and observance of all of the material covenants required to be performed and observed by Manager under the Management Agreement. Borrower shall not, without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed): (i) surrender, terminate or cancel the Management Agreement or otherwise replace Manager or enter into any other management agreement with respect to the Property; (ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of the Management Agreement; (iii) increase or consent to the increase of the amount of any charges under the Management Agreement; or (iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights and remedies under, the Management Agreement in any material respect. In the event that Borrower replaces Manager at any time during the term of Loan, such Manager shall be a Qualified Manager (defined below).

(b) In the event that (i) an Event of Default occurs and is not cured within the applicable cure period (if any) or waived, (ii) Manager shall become insolvent or a debtor in a proceeding under any applicable Insolvency Laws (as defined in the Note), or (iii) a material

 

20


default by Manager has occurred and is continuing under the Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace, notice or cure periods thereunder, then, upon the occurrence of any of the events described in clauses (i) through (iii) above, Borrower shall, at Lender’s direction, immediately terminate the Management Agreement and enter into a new property management agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender with a management company reasonably acceptable to Lender, which such new property management company must (i) be a Qualified Manager, (ii) not be an affiliate of, or controlled by, Lender, and (iii) have not provided (nor agreed to provide) Lender (or its affiliates) with any compensation for being so named. In the event Lender directs Borrower to engage a professional third party property manager, then Borrower shall engage such a property manager pursuant to an agreement reasonably acceptable to Lender, and Borrower and such manager shall execute an agreement acceptable to Lender conditionally assigning Borrower’s interest in such management agreement to Lender and subordinating manager’s right to receive fees and expenses under such agreement while the Debt remains outstanding.

(ii) The organizational documents of each SPE Component Entity (if any) or Borrower (as applicable) shall provide that the board of directors or board of managers of such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (as applicable) shall not take any action which, under the terms of any certificate of incorporation, by-laws or any voting trust agreement with respect to any common stock, requires an unanimous vote of the board of directors or managers of such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (as applicable) unless at the time of such action there shall be at least one member of the board of directors or managers who is an Independent Director. Such SPE Component Entity or Borrower (as applicable) will not, without the unanimous written consent of its board of directors or managers including each Independent Director, on behalf of itself or Borrower, (i) file or consent to the filing of any petition, either voluntary or involuntary, to take advantage of any applicable Insolvency Laws; (ii) seek or consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator or any similar official; (iii) take any action that might cause such entity to become insolvent; or (iv) make an assignment for the benefit of creditors.

The LLC Agreement shall further provide that (i) Special Member shall automatically cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) upon the admission to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) of a substitute Member, (ii) Special Member shall be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) that has no interest in the profits, losses and capital of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and has no right to receive any distributions of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) assets, (iii) pursuant to Section 18-301 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “Act”), Special Member shall not be required to make any capital

 

26


contributions to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and shall not receive a limited liability company interest in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), (iv) Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, may not bind Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and (v) except as required by any mandatory provision of the Act, Special Member, in its capacity as Special Member, shall have no right to vote on, approve or otherwise consent to any action by, or matter relating to, Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), including, without limitation, the merger, consolidation or conversion of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable); provided, however, such prohibition shall not limit the obligations of Special Member, in its capacity as Independent Director, to vote on such matters required by the Loan Documents or the LLC Agreement. In order to implement the admission to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) of Special Member, Special Member shall execute a counterpart to the LLC Agreement. Prior to its admission to Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) as Special Member, Special Member shall not be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable).

(II) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of Member shall, within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), agree in writing (i) to continue Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and (ii) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable), effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of Member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) in Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable). Any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any applicable Insolvency Laws shall not cause Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) and upon the occurrence of such an event, the business of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) shall continue without dissolution. The LLC Agreement shall provide that each of Member and Special Member waives any right it might have to agree in writing to dissolve Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) upon the occurrence of any action initiated by or brought against Member or Special Member under any applicable Insolvency Laws, or the occurrence of an event that causes Member or Special Member to cease to be a member of Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable).

(e) Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed (a) Borrower’s name, (b) Borrower’s identity (including its trade name or names), (c) Borrower’s principal place of business set forth on the first page of this Security Instrument, (d) the corporate, partnership or other organizational structure of Borrower, each SPE Component Entity (if any), or Guarantor, (e) Borrower’s state of organization, or (f) Borrower’s organizational identification number, without in each case notifying Lender of such change in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such change and, in the case of a change in Borrower’s structure, without first obtaining the prior written consent of Lender. In addition, Borrower shall not change or permit to be changed any organizational documents of Borrower or any SPE Component Entity (if any) if such change would adversely impact the covenants set forth in this Section 4.3. Borrower authorizes Lender to file any financing statement or financing statement amendment

 

27


required by Lender to establish or maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interest granted herein. At the request of Lender, Borrower shall execute a certificate in form satisfactory to Lender listing the trade names under which Borrower intends to operate the Property, and representing and warranting that Borrower does business under no other trade name with respect to the Property. If Borrower does not now have an organizational identification number and later obtains one, or if the organizational identification number assigned to Borrower subsequently changes, Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such organizational identification number or change.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon written notice from Lender following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Additional Director Trigger Event (hereafter defined), Borrower shall amend its own (or any SPE Component Entity’s (as applicable)) organizational documents to require the appointment and maintenance of no less than two (2) Independent Directors for Borrower or such SPE Component Entity (as applicable) for the remaining term of the Loan. Thereafter and during the continuance of an Independent Director Trigger Event, any provision herein relating to any Independent Director shall be deemed to relate to both Independent Directors (for example (and by way of illustration only), any provision herein (i) requiring that an Independent Director be in place for any vote to be effective shall require that both Independent Directors be in place for such vote to be effective or (ii) requiring the vote of the Independent Director shall require the vote of both Independent Directors). Borrower shall cause its (or the applicable SPE Component Entity’s) organizational documents to be amended to be consistent with the foregoing. Borrower’s compliance with the foregoing shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense. Failure of Borrower to comply with this subsection (f) shall, at Lender’s option, constitute an immediate Event of Default. As used herein, the term “Additional Director Trigger Event” shall mean an event (i) occurring upon the Debt Service Coverage Ratio falling below 1.25 to 1.00 and (ii) ending upon the Debt Service Coverage Ratio being in excess of 1.25 to 1.00 for four (4) consecutive calendar quarters. For the purposes hereof, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio shall be calculated monthly as of the first day of each calendar month.

(g) Intentionally Omitted.

Section 4.4. RESTORATION AFTER CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION. In the event of a casualty or a taking by eminent domain, the following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration of the Property:

(a) If the Net Proceeds (defined below) shall be less than the amount equal to five percent (5%) of the original aggregate principal amount of the Loan (the “Threshold Amount”) and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Threshold Amount, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrower upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Subsection 4.4(b)(i) are met and Borrower delivers to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument.

The term “Net Proceeds” for purposes of this Section 4.4 shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.3(a)(i), (iii), (iv) and (x) of this Security Instrument as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same or (ii) the net amount of all awards and payments received by Lender with respect to a taking referenced in Section 3.6 of this Security Instrument, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting the same, whichever the case may be.

(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrower for the Restoration provided that each of the following conditions are met: (A) no Event of Default shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents or an event which after the passage of time or the giving of notice would constitute an Event of Default; (B) Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrower’s architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (C) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrower with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration; (D) Borrower shall deliver to Lender, at its expense, the insurance set forth in Subsection 3.3(a)(iii) hereof; (E) Borrower shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion; (F) Lender shall be satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note at the Applicable Interest Rate (as defined in the Note), which will be incurred with respect to the Property as a result of the occurrence of any such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage referred to in Subsection 3.3(a)(ii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrower which are deposited with Lender prior to the commencement of the Restoration; (G) Lender shall be satisfied that, upon the completion of the Restoration and following a rent-up period from the time such Restoration is complete through the date which is three (3) months prior to the expiration of the rental loss insurance coverage maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) above, the (1) fair market value of the Property, as reasonably determined by Lender, is equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Property immediately prior to the casualty or condemnation, and (2) gross cash flow and the net cash flow of the Property will be restored to a level sufficient to cover all carrying costs and operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, a Debt Service Coverage Ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00; (H) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), (2) one (1) year after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty or taking, whichever the case may be, or (3) such time as may be required under applicable zoning law, ordinance, rule or regulation in order to repair and restore the Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such fire or other casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such taking, as applicable; (I) the Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable zoning laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; (J) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Borrower in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, all applicable Environmental Laws (defined below)); (K) such fire or other casualty or taking, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Property or the Improvements; (L) (1) in the event the

 

29


Net Proceeds are insurance proceeds, less than thirty-five percent (35%) of each of (i) fair market value of the Property as reasonably determined by Lender, and (ii) rentable area of the Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of a casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are condemnation proceeds, less than fifteen percent (15%) of each of (i) the fair market value of the Property as reasonably determined by Lender and (ii) rentable area of the Property is taken and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of the Property; and (M) the Required Leases (defined below) shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration. Lender agrees to use due diligence and good faith efforts to process its determination of Borrower’s compliance with the requirements of this Paragraph 4.4(b)(i) as promptly as possible, recognizing the need for a quick determination in order to avoid delay in Restoration of the Property. As used above, the term “Required Leases” shall mean Leases encumbering, in the aggregate, 65% of the rentable square footage at the Property.

(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender, and until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialmen’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument.

(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to prior reasonable 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 reasonable review and acceptance by Lender and the Casualty Consultant. All reasonable 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 Borrower.

(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” as used in this Subsection 4.4(b) shall mean an amount equal to 10% of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until such time as the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that 50% of the required Restoration has been completed. There shall be no Casualty Retainage with respect to costs actually incurred by Borrower for work in place in completing the last 50% of the required Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Subsection 4.4(b), be less than

 

30


the amount actually held back by Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re occupancy and use of the Property have been obtained from all appropriate governmental and quasi governmental authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, and the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company insuring the lien of this Security Instrument. If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.

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

(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Subsection 4.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

(vii) With respect to Restorations related to casualties, the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds, and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Subsection 4.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrower, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under the Note, this Security Instrument or any of the Other Security Documents.

(c) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrower as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Subsection 4.4(b)(vii) may, at Lender’s election, be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the principal balance of the Debt whether or not then due and payable, either in whole or in part, or disbursed to Borrower. If Lender shall receive and retain Net Proceeds, as permitted above, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be reduced only by the amount thereof received and retained by Lender

and actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Debt. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Lender does not make the Net Proceeds available for Restoration and such Net Proceeds are received by Lender in connection with a casualty or condemnation to the Property, Lender shall allow Borrower to prepay the Debt in whole (but not in part) without penalty, provided, that, such prepayment is made by Borrower by no later than the date which is six (6) months prior to the expiration of the rental loss insurance coverage maintained by Borrower pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) above.

Section 11.7. OTHER RIGHTS, ETC. (a) The failure of Lender to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument.

Section 18.2. USURY LAWS.

SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION, NON-DISTURBANCE AND ATTORNMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the      day of                     , 200[    ] by and among BEAR STEARNS COMMERCIAL MORTGAGE, INC., a New York corporation, having an address at 383 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10179 (together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”), [                                        ] (“Tenant”) and WAIKELE RESERVE WEST HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 11455 El Camino Real, Suite 200, San Diego, California 92130 (“West”) and WAIKELE VENTURE HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, having an address at 11455 El Camino Real, Suite 200, San Diego, California 92130 (“Venture”; West and Venture are individually or collectively (as the context requires) referred to herein as “Landlord”).

RECITALS:

A. Lender is the present owner and holder of a certain Mortgage and Security Agreement (the “Security Instrument”) given by Landlord to Lender which encumbers the fee estate of Landlord in certain premises described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”) and which secures the payment of certain indebtedness owed by Landlord to Lender evidenced by the Note (as defined in the Security Instrument);

B. Tenant is the holder of a leasehold estate in a portion of the Property under and pursuant to the provisions of a certain [Lease] dated [                        , 200[    ] between Landlord, as landlord, and Tenant, as tenant (the “Lease”); and

C. Tenant has agreed to subordinate the Lease to the Security Instrument and Lender has agreed to grant non-disturbance to Tenant under the Lease on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT:

For good and valuable consideration, Tenant, Lender and Landlord agree as follows:

1. Subordination. The Lease and all of the terms, covenants and provisions thereof and all rights, remedies and options of Tenant thereunder are and shall at all times continue to be subject and subordinate to the lien and terms of the Security Instrument, including without limitation, all renewals, increases, modifications, spreaders, consolidations, replacements and extensions thereof and to all sums secured thereby and advances made thereunder with the same force and effect as if the Security Instrument had been executed, delivered and recorded prior to the execution and delivery of the Lease.

2. Non-Disturbance. If any action or proceeding is commenced by Lender for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenant’s possession or use


of the premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Note or the Security Instrument shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other rights (a) the term of the Lease shall have commenced pursuant to the provisions thereof, (b) Tenant shall be in possession of the premises demised under the Lease, (c) the Lease shall be in full force and effect and (d) Tenant shall not be in default beyond any applicable notice and cure period under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on Tenant’s part to be observed or performed.

3. Attornment. If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason of any other enforcement of the Security Instrument (Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter referred as “Purchaser”), and the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time Purchaser becomes owner of the Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and in that event, Tenant agrees to attorn to Purchaser and Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to have agreed to accept such attornment, provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be (a) liable for the failure of any prior landlord (any such prior landlord, including Landlord and any successor landlord, being hereinafter referred to as a “Prior Landlord”) to perform any of its obligations under the Lease which have accrued prior to the date on which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, provided that the foregoing shall not limit Purchaser’s obligations under the Lease to correct any conditions of a continuing nature that (i) existed as of the date Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property and (ii) violate Purchaser’s obligations as landlord under the Lease; provided further, however, that Purchaser shall have received written notice of such omissions, conditions or violations and has had a reasonable opportunity to cure the same, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lease, (b) subject to any offsets, defenses, abatements or counterclaims which shall have accrued in favor of Tenant against any Prior Landlord prior to the date upon which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property, except for those that are specifically provided for in the Lease, (c) liable for the return of rental security deposits, if any, paid by Tenant to any Prior Landlord in accordance with the Lease unless such sums are actually received by Purchaser, (d) bound by any payment of rents, additional rents or other sums which Tenant may have paid more than one (1) month in advance to any Prior Landlord unless (i) such sums are actually received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved of by Purchaser, (e) bound by any agreement terminating or amending or modifying the rent, term, commencement date or other material term of the Lease, or any voluntary surrender of the premises demised under the Lease, made without Lender’s or Purchaser’s prior written consent prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest (provided, however, Purchaser’s consent is not required for a termination of the Lease exercised pursuant to the original terms of the Lease) or (f) bound by any assignment of the Lease or sublease of the Property, or any portion thereof, made prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlord’s interest other than if pursuant to the provisions of the Lease. In the event that any liability of Purchaser does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited and restricted to Purchaser’s interest in the Property and shall in no event exceed such interest. Alternatively, upon the written request of Lender or its successors or assigns, Tenant

 

-2-


shall enter into a new lease of the Premises with Lender or such successor or assign for the then remaining term of the Lease, upon the same terms and conditions as contained in the Lease (including without limitation any renewal options), except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

4. Notice to Tenant. After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that the Landlord is in default under the Note and the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the assignment of leases and rents executed and delivered by Landlord to Lender in connection therewith, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any such payments.

5. Intentionally Omitted.

6. Notice to Lender and Right to Cure. Tenant shall notify Lender of any default by Landlord under the Lease if the default is of such a nature as to give Tenant a right to terminate the Lease, reduce the rent or to credit or offset any amounts against future rents, and agrees that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease to the contrary, no notice of cancellation thereof or of an abatement shall be effective unless Lender shall have received notice of default giving rise to such cancellation or abatement and (i) in the case of any such default that can be cured by the payment of money, until thirty (30) days shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice or (ii) in the case of any other such default, until a reasonable period for remedying such default shall have elapsed following the giving of such notice, provided Lender, with reasonable diligence, shall have commenced and continued to remedy such default or cause the same to be remedied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Lender shall have no obligation to cure any such default and (ii) in the event that any aforesaid default cannot, by its nature, be cured by Lender prior to Lender’s gaining possession of Landlord’s interest in the Property, the aforesaid “reasonable period for remedying such default” shall be deemed to include such time as is required for Lender to gain possession of Tenant’s interest in the Property.

7. Notices. All notices or other written communications hereunder shall be deemed to have been properly given (i) upon delivery, if delivered in person with receipt acknowledged by the recipient thereof, (ii) one (1) Business Day (hereinafter defined) after having been deposited for one (1) day overnight delivery with any reputable overnight courier service, or (iii) three (3) Business Days after having been deposited in any post office or mail depository regularly maintained by the U.S. Postal Service and sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenant may offset against rent due under the Lease the amount of any judgment obtained against any Purchaser.
