ARTICLE 2LOAN
2.1LOAN.
(a)Revolving Loans. By and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lenders, severally and not jointly, agree to lend to Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, Revolving Loans in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that Revolving Loans shall not be made if the same are restricted by the amount limitations set forth in Section 2.1(d). Each borrowing of Revolving Loans hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess of that amount (except that, subject to Section 2.1(d), any such borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders minus the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
(b)Construction Advances. By and subject to the terms of this Agreement, Lenders, severally and not jointly, agree to lend to Borrower during the period from and including the date Borrower satisfies all of the conditions for the initial Construction Advance, to but excluding the Completion Date (and, if Completion has occurred on or prior to the Completion Date, for a reasonable amount of time thereafter required to close out any remaining Construction Agreements), Construction Advances in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Construction Commitment. Construction
Page 33



Advances shall be used to finance the construction of the Project and for such other purposes and uses as may be permitted under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any principal payments made by Borrower of any Construction Advance shall reduce Lenders’ Constructions Commitments by a like amount, and any such amounts repaid by Borrower may not be reborrowed.
(c)Secured Loans. The Revolving Loans and the Construction Advances shall be evidenced by the Notes. The Notes shall be secured, in part, by the Security Deeds encumbering certain real property and improvements as legally defined therein. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make its Pro Rata Share of any Revolving Loan or Construction Advance available on the borrowing date therefor.
(d)Maximum Loan Availability. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall make any Loans if, immediately after the making of such Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans would exceed the applicable Maximum Loan Availability. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) the Construction Commitments shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments, or vice versa, it being acknowledged that during any period in which there are Construction Commitments, the Construction Commitments shall be separate and in addition to the Revolving Commitments; (ii) Construction Advances shall not be considered Revolving Loans, and Revolving Loans shall not be considered Construction Advances, unless and until Construction Advances are converted to Revolving Loans upon Completion of the Project pursuant to Section 3.5(k) below; and (iii) both Revolving Commitments and Construction Commitments shall count towards the Maximum Revolving Commitment, it being acknowledged and agreed that at no time will it be possible for the aggregate amount of Loans available hereunder to exceed $250,000,000 (assuming the Revolving Commitments are increased to the greatest extent permissible pursuant to Section 2.17 below).
2.2LOAN FEES.
(a)Borrower shall pay the applicable fees set forth in the Fee Letter as and when due as set forth therein.
(b)During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the average daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate:
Amount by Which Revolving Commitments Exceed Aggregate Revolving LoansUnused Fee
Equal to or greater than an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments0.25% per annum
Less than an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments0.15% per annum

Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Maturity Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.
2.3LOAN DOCUMENTS. Borrower shall execute and deliver to (or cause to be executed and delivered to) Administrative Agent concurrently with this Agreement each of the Loan Documents to the extent not executed prior to the Agreement Date.
Page 34



2.4EFFECTIVE DATE. The Effective Date of this Agreement shall be the Agreement Date.
2.5MATURITY DATE. All sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be repaid in full on or before the Maturity Date. All payments due to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement, whether at the Maturity Date or otherwise, shall be paid in Dollars in immediately available funds.
2.6INTEREST ON THE LOAN.
(a)Interest Payments. Interest accrued on the outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall be due and payable, in the manner provided in Section 2.7, on the first (1st) Business Day of each calendar month commencing with the first calendar month after the Effective Date (each such date, a “Payment Date”).
(b)Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 2.6(e) and the payment dates specified in Section 2.6(a), at Requisite Lenders’ discretion at any time during the existence of an Event of Default or at the times provided in Section 10.2, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any interest payments on the Loan not paid when due, and all other amounts due Administrative Agent or Lenders (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid when due, shall bear interest from and after demand at the Post-Default Rate.
(c)Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Administrative Agent will cause Administrative Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement. Such costs include, without limitation, processing and accounting charges. Therefore, if Borrower fails timely to pay any sum due and payable hereunder through the Maturity Date (other than payment of the entire outstanding balance of the Loan on the Maturity Date), then, unless waived by Administrative Agent, a late charge of four cents ($.04) for each dollar of any such principal payment, interest or other charge due hereon and that is not paid within fifteen (15) days after such payment is due, shall be charged by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Lenders) and paid by Borrower for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the Effective Date and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Administrative Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Administrative Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment, and shall not prevent Administrative Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or under any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Administrative Agent.
(d)Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three hundred sixty (360) days on the principal balance of the Loan outstanding from time to time. In computing interest on the Loan, the date of the making of an Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.6, interest in respect of the Loan shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law.
(e)Effective Rate.
(i)Subject to Section 2.8, provided that no Event of Default then exists, the “Effective Rate” upon which interest shall be calculated for the Loan shall, from and after the Effective Date, be one or more of the following:
(A)Initial Disbursement; Subsequent Disbursements During Any Calendar Month. For any Loans during any calendar month, the Effective Rate on such Loans shall be the Calculated Interest Rate on the date of disbursement,
Page 35



as determined by Administrative Agent. Such Effective Rate shall apply to such principal amount from the date of disbursement through and including the date immediately preceding the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month. On the first (1st) Business Day of the next calendar month, any Loans made during the prior calendar month shall be added to (or become) the Benchmark Portion for purposes of calculation of the Effective Rate under subsection (e)(i)(B).
(B)Reset of Effective Rate. Commencing with the first (1st) Business Day of the first (1st) calendar month after the Effective Date, and continuing thereafter on the first (1st) Business Day of each succeeding calendar month, the Effective Rate on the outstanding Benchmark Portion of the Loan (i.e., all outstanding principal on such first (1st) Business Day) shall be reset to the Calculated Interest Rate, as determined by Administrative Agent to be effective on each such first (1st) Business Day.
(ii)Upon the occurrence and during the existence of an Event of Default, the Effective Rate applicable to the Loan shall, at Administrative Agent’s option, bear interest at the Post-Default Rate subject to the provisions of Section 2.6(b).
(f)Maximum Rate. In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the aggregate of all amounts deemed interest under this Agreement charged or collected pursuant to the terms of this Agreement exceed the highest rate permissible under any Applicable Law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable hereto. In the event that such a court determines that Lenders have charged or received interest hereunder in excess of the highest applicable rate, the rate in effect hereunder shall automatically be reduced to the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law and Lenders shall at Administrative Agent’s option: (i) promptly refund to Borrower any interest received by Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful rate; or (ii) apply such excess to the principal balance of the Obligations. It is the intent hereof that Borrower not pay or contract to pay, and that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by Borrower under Applicable Law.
(g)SOFR Average Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of SOFR Average, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of SOFR Average.
2.7PAYMENTS.
(a)Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or Lenders shall be made without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off and counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender as applicable, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b)Payments on Non-Business Days. With the exception of repayment of the Loan in full on the Maturity Date, whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any fees due under this Agreement, as the case may be. If
Page 36



the Maturity Date is not a Business Day, then repayment of the entire principal amount of the Loan and all other Obligations shall due on the preceding Business Day.
(c)Direct Debit. Subject to Section 3.5(g), in order to assure timely payment to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, of accrued interest, principal, fees and late charges due and owing under the Loan, Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to directly debit the Operating Account for payment when due of all such amounts payable to Administrative Agent or any Lender. Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that Borrower is the legal owner of the Operating Account. Written confirmation of the amount and purpose of any such direct debit shall be given to Borrower by Administrative Agent not less frequently than monthly. In the event any direct debit hereunder is returned for insufficient funds, Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, upon demand, in immediately available funds, all amounts and expenses due and owing, including, without limitation, any late fees incurred, to Administrative Agent or any Lender.
2.8CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES.
(a)Circumstances Affecting Benchmark Availability. Subject to clause (c) below, if for any reason Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that “SOFR Average” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof for an Interest Period with respect to the Benchmark Portion, then Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to Borrower. Thereafter, unless Borrower repays in full (or cause to be repaid in full) the then outstanding principal amount of the Loan, together with accrued interest thereon (subject to Section 2.6(f)), on the last day of the then current Interest Period, on the day following the last day of the then current Interest Period and thereafter, until Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that such circumstances no longer exist, Loan will accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.9.
(b)Laws Affecting SOFR Availability. If, after the date hereof, the introduction of, or any change in, any Applicable Law or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, shall make it unlawful or impossible for any of the Lenders (or any of their respective Lending Offices) to honor its obligations hereunder to make or maintain the Loan using the SOFR rate, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR Average, 30-Day SOFR Average, Daily Simple SOFR or SOFR, such Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders. Thereafter, until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist, the Loan shall accrue interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin and the Administrative Agent shall compute the Base Rate without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”.
(c)Benchmark Replacement Setting.
(i)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace the then-current Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower so long as Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from Lenders comprising the Requisite Lenders. No replacement of a Benchmark with a Benchmark Replacement
Page 37



pursuant to this Section 2.8(c)(i) will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement. Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower of the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of a Benchmark pursuant to Section 2.8(c)(iv). Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section 2.8(c), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.8(c).
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, at any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement): (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate and either: (1) any tenor for such Benchmark is not displayed on a screen or other information service that publishes such rate from time to time as selected by Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion; or (2) the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark has provided a public statement or publication of information announcing that any tenor for such Benchmark is or will be no longer representative, then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for any Benchmark settings at or after such time to remove such unavailable or non-representative tenor; and (B) if a tenor that was removed pursuant to clause (A) above either: (1) is subsequently displayed on a screen or information service for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement); or (2) is not, or is no longer, subject to an announcement that it is or will no longer be representative for a Benchmark (including a Benchmark Replacement), then Administrative Agent may modify the definition of “Interest Period” (or any similar or analogous definition) for all Benchmark settings at or after such time to reinstate such previously removed tenor.
(v)Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any pending request for a borrowing and, until the end of the Benchmark Unavailability Period, the entire outstanding principal amount of the Loan will be converted to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. During any SOFR Unavailability Period, the component of Base Rate based upon Daily Simple SOFR will not be used in any determination of Base Rate.
(vi)Benchmark Transition Costs. Borrower hereby agrees to promptly pay to Administrative Agent for the account of any Lender, upon demand, any reasonable, out-of-pocket additional amounts necessary to compensate Lenders for any costs incurred by any Lender in connection with any Benchmark Transition Event and the related conversion of the Effective Rate in accordance with this Agreement. Administrative
Page 38



Agent’s notice of such costs, as certified to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
2.9INDEMNITY. Borrower agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each Lender and to hold Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense (including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds but excluding consequential or punitive damages) that Administrative Agent and/or any Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of: (a) any failure of Borrower to borrow on a date specified therefor by Borrower and Administrative Agent; (b) any failure of Borrower to prepay any portion of the Loan on a date specified therefor by Borrower, (c) any payment or prepayment (in each case, whether voluntary or mandatory) of the Loan other than on the Payment Date therefor (including as a result of an Event of Default) or (d) the assignment of the Loan other than on the Interest Payment Date at the request of Borrower; provided, however, Borrower shall not indemnify Administrative Agent or any Lender from any loss or expense arising from such Person’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. This provision shall survive payment and performance of the Obligations in full.
2.10INCREASED COSTS.
(a)Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including pursuant to regulations issued from time to time by the FRB for determining the maximum reserve requirement (including any emergency, special, supplemental or other marginal reserve requirement) with respect to eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency liabilities” in Regulation D of the FRB, as amended and in effect from time to time)), special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;
(ii)subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than: (A) Indemnified Taxes; (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes; and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement Loans made by such Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender or other Recipient and reasonable evidence of the calculation of such amounts, and provided that Lender is making such demand in a manner that is not arbitrary or capricious, Borrower shall promptly pay to any such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loan made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender and reasonable evidence of the calculation
Page 39



of such amounts, and provided that Lender is making such demand in a manner that is not arbitrary or capricious, Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or such other Recipient setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Recipient or any of their respective holding companies, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof.
(d)Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or such other Recipient to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be required to compensate any Lender or any other Recipient pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or such other Recipient’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6) month period referred to herein shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e)Survival. All of the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
2.11TAXES.
(a)Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 2.11, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
(b)Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Recipient (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by
Page 40



Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for: (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so); (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 14.13(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to setoff and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subsection (e).
(f)Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.11, such Loan Party shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(g)Status of Lenders.
(i)Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.11(g)(ii)(A), Section 2.11(g)(ii)(B) and Section 2.11(g)(ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A)any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax;
(B)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign
Page 41



Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(1)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party: (aa) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty; and (bb) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, United States federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
(2)executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(3)in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code: (aa) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (bb) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN-E; or
(4)to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-2 or Exhibit H-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by
Page 42



Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines in good faith that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.11 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.11), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this subsection (h), in no event shall the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection (h) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.11 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
2.12MITIGATION OBLIGATIONS.
(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.10, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.11, then such Lender shall, at the request of Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking the Loan or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment: (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, as the case may be, in the future; and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)Selection of Lending Office. Subject to Section 2.12(a), each Lender may make the Loan to Borrower through any Lending Office; provided that the exercise of this option shall not affect the obligations of Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or otherwise alter the rights of the parties hereto.
2.13PREPAYMENTS.
Page 43



(a)Optional. Borrower may, upon not less than three (3) U.S. Government Securities Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent received not later than 11:00 a.m. on the date given, at any time and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the Loan without penalty, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.13. Any notice of prepayment given to Administrative Agent under this Section 2.13 shall specify the date of prepayment and the principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of any Benchmark Portion, Borrower shall concurrently pay any amounts under Section 2.9 payable in respect thereof. Other than voluntary prepayments made in connection with the release of any Collateral Property in connection with the sale thereof, each voluntary prepayment of the Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.
(b)Mandatory.
(i)Revolving Commitment Overadvance. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, Borrower shall immediately upon demand pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders then holding Revolving Commitments (or if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, then holding outstanding Revolving Loans), the amount of such excess. All payments under this subsection (b)(i) shall be applied in accordance with the last sentence of Section 13.5.
(ii)Borrowing Base; Maximum Loan Availability Overadvance. If, as of any Testing Date, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Borrowing Base Certificate is due, pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount equal to the Minimum Repayment Amount. All payments under this subsection (b)(ii) shall be applied in accordance with the last sentence of Section 13.5.
2.14FULL REPAYMENT AND RECONVEYANCE. Upon receipt of all sums owing and outstanding under the Loan Documents and under any Derivatives Contract executed by and between Borrower and Wells Fargo or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Loan (or that otherwise recites it is secured by the Security Deeds), full performance of the other obligations secured by the Security Deeds and termination in full of all Commitments, Administrative Agent shall issue a full reconveyance of the Property from the lien of the Security Deeds and terminate any assignment of leases and rents or UCC-financing statements related to the Collateral; provided, however, that all of the following conditions shall be satisfied at the time of, and with respect to, such reconveyance: (a) Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, shall have received all escrow, closing and recording costs, the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of preparing and delivering such reconveyance and any sums then due and payable under the Loan Documents and the full payment and performance of all other obligations secured by the Security Deed, including, without limitation, any amounts under Section 2.9 payable in respect thereof and any other costs set forth in the Note and/or the Security Deed; and (b) if applicable, Administrative Agent shall have received a written release satisfactory to Administrative Agent of any set aside letter, letter of credit or other form of undertaking that Administrative Agent or any Lender has issued to any surety, Governmental Authority or any other party in connection with the Loan and/or the Property. Lenders’ obligations to make further Loans shall terminate as to any portion of the Loan undisbursed as of the date of issuance of such full release or reconveyance, and any Commitment of Lenders to lend any undisbursed portion of the Loan shall be cancelled.
2.15LENDERS’ ACCOUNTING. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the “Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded: (a) the names and addresses and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of each of Lenders, and principal amount of the Loan owing to each Lender from time to time; and (b) all repayments of principal and payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this Agreement. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to time. Monthly or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice, Administrative Agent shall render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and shall deliver a copy
Page 44



thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error).
2.16VOLUNTARY REDUCTIONS OF THE COMMITMENTS. Borrower may terminate or reduce the amount of the Revolving Commitments at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior notice to Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Commitments shall not be less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by Administrative Agent (“Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, however, that Borrower may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments below $10,000,000 unless Borrower is terminating the Revolving Commitments in full. Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Commitment reduction. The Commitments, once reduced pursuant to this Section, may not be increased. Borrower shall pay all interest and fees, on the Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Commitments to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, including any applicable compensation due to each Lender in accordance with Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of this Agreement.
2.17INCREASE IN REVOLVING COMMITMENTS. Borrower shall have the right to request, not more frequently than once per calendar quarter, increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of all of the Lenders shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Commitment. Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be in an aggregate minimum amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and integral multiples of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in excess thereof. Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ relative Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender; plus (b) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. Borrower shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Sections 2.9 and 2.10 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent (together with any other conditions precedent imposed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion): (i) no Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase; (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by Borrower and Guarantor in any Loan Document shall be true or correct on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder; (iii)  Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent: (A) such agreements, amendments, promissory notes, documents, certificates and instruments as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require to evidence the increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment; (B) an acknowledgement and ratification by Guarantor of its obligations under the Guaranty and the Hazardous Materials Indemnity Agreement; (C) an opinion of counsel to Borrower and Guarantor, and addressed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent; and (D) endorsements to the Title Policies dating down the effective date of such Title Policies
Page 45



and increasing such Title Policies by the amount of such increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments. In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.17, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

(b)Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If after the Effective Date Borrower desires that the Lenders include any additional Property in calculations of the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall so notify Administrative Agent in writing. No Property will be evaluated by the Lenders unless and until Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent:

Within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such Appraisal, Administrative Agent shall review such Appraisal and shall determine the Appraised Value of such Property. If after such review and determination Administrative Agent is unwilling to recommend acceptance of such Property as a Borrowing Base Property, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders and the consideration by Administrative Agent and the Lenders of such Property shall cease. If after such review and determination Administrative Agent remains prepared to recommend acceptance of such Property as a Borrowing Base Property, Administrative Agent shall forward a copy of such Appraisal to the Lenders together with notice of such Appraised Value.

The Appraised Value of each Borrowing Base Property shall be determined or redetermined, as applicable, Borrower’s expense, under each of the following circumstances: (a) in connection with the acceptance of a Property as a Borrowing Base Property (provided that, so long as the Commerce Center Property becomes a Borrowing Base Property within six (6) months after the Agreement Date, the Appraisal that shall be used in connection therewith shall be the most recent one obtained by Administrative Agent prior to the Agreement Date; (b) intentionally omitted; (c) at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (d) if Administrative Agent determines an Appraisal of such Property is necessary in connection with its determination under Section 2.19 regarding the release of a Borrowing Base Property; (e) if necessary in order to comply with FIRREA or other Applicable Law relating to Administrative Agent or any Lender; or (f) at any other time for any reason, but not more frequently than once per year during the term of the Loans. At any other time and from time to time, Administrative Agent may (and shall at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) redetermine the Appraised Value of a Borrowing Base Property (based on a new Appraisal obtained by Administrative Agent), at the Lenders’ expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default is then continuing: (i) the Appraised Value of the Borrowing Base Properties shall not be redetermined prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Agreement Date; and (ii) the Appraised Value of the Commerce Center Property for purposes of making the initial determination as to whether the Commerce Center Property satisfies the requirements to become a Borrowing Base Property shall be as shown in the Appraisal of the Commerce Center Property most recently obtained by Administrative Agent prior to the Effective Date, so long as the Commerce Center Property becomes a Borrowing Base Property prior to September 27, 2023. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, if a material adverse leasing event has occurred with respect to a Property and such material adverse leasing event could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the value of such Property, as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent (which may include, without limitation, the termination, vacation, expiration without renewal, or bankruptcy of a material tenant or its lease), the immediately preceding sentence shall not apply with respect to the applicable affected Property (or Properties).
2.21FREQUENCY OF CALCULATIONS OF BORROWING BASE. On the Effective Date, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered under Section 3.1(a)(x). Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered from time to time under Section 9.1(k) or otherwise set forth in this Agreement. Any increase in the Borrowing Base Value of a Borrowing Base Property shall become effective as of the next determination of the Borrowing Base as provided in this Section 2.21, provided that prior to such date of determination: (a) if such increase is the result of an increase in the Appraised Value of such Borrowing Base Property, the Requisite Lenders shall have given their written approval of such Appraised Value, and the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate substantiates such increase; and (b) Borrower delivers to Administrative Agent the following: (i) if the Property is not located in a Tie In Jurisdiction and such increase is the result of an increase in the Appraised Value of such Property, an endorsement to the title insurance policy in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to such Property increasing the coverage amount thereof as related to such Property to not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Appraised Value (based on the “stabilized value” of such Property and excluding the value of personal property) for such Property; and (ii) if the Property is located in a Tie In Jurisdiction, an endorsement to the title insurance policy in favor of Administrative Agent with respect to such Property increasing the coverage amount thereof as related to such Property to not less than eighty-five percent (85%) of the Appraised Value (based on the “stabilized value” of such Property and excluding the value of personal property) for such Property, as well as endorsements to all other existing title insurance
Page 51



policies issued to Administrative Agent with respect to all other Properties located in Tie In Jurisdictions reflecting an increase in the aggregate insured amount under the “tie-in” endorsements to an amount equal to the Borrowing Base (including the Property which experienced the increase in Borrowing Base Value) as increased.

3.4ACCOUNT, PLEDGE AND ASSIGNMENT, AND DISBURSEMENT AUTHORIZATION. The proceeds of the Loan and the Borrower’s Funds, and, if applicable, any sums in any other Accounts, including the Borrower’s Funds Account, when qualified for disbursement, shall be deposited into an Operating Account (and Construction Advances shall be disbursed to the Operating Account of Commerce Center Owner) or otherwise disbursed to or for the benefit or account of Borrower in accordance with the Loan Documents (including Section 3.3) and the Disbursement Instruction Agreement delivered by Borrower in connection with the closing of the Loan, as Modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof. To secure the prompt and unconditional payment, performance and discharge when due of all of Borrower’s respective Obligations, including, without limitation, those arising hereunder, under any Note, under the Loan Agreement and under each and all of the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby irrevocably assigns, pledges, conveys, sets over, delivers and transfers to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders, and grants to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Lenders, a security interest in and right of set-off against, in and to all of Borrower’s now existing or hereafter arising right, title, estate, claim and interest in and to: (a) the Accounts; (b) all funds in the Accounts (including Borrower’s Funds) and other cash, instruments, securities, investments and other property from time to time transferred or credited to, contained in or comprising the Accounts; (c) all statements, certificates, passbooks and instruments representing the Accounts or any of the foregoing; (d) any and all substitutions or additions of or with respect to any of the foregoing; and (e) any and all proceeds and products of any of the foregoing, whether now owned and existing or hereafter acquired or arising, including: (i) interest, principal, dividends and other amounts or distributions received with respect to any of the foregoing; and (ii) property received upon the sale, exchange or other disposition of any of the foregoing.

Borrower has given Administrative Agent complete dominion and control over the Accounts and the funds on deposit therein. Borrower acknowledges that Administrative Agent shall indicate on Administrative Agent’s records for the Accounts, that Administrative Agent has a security interest in the Accounts. The Accounts shall be assigned the federal tax identification number of Borrower. This Agreement is, among other things, intended by the parties to be a security agreement for purposes of the UCC and each Account is intended to constitute a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of the funds on deposit in any Account against the Obligations in any order of priority as Administrative Agent shall elect without seeking the appointment of a receiver and without adversely affecting the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders to foreclose the Liens and security interests securing the Loan or exercise their other rights under the Loan Documents. The Borrower’s Funds and all other amounts in any of the Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Administrative Agent. All interest that accrues on any funds, if any, deposited in the Accounts shall be at a rate established by Administrative Agent, which may or may not be the highest rate then available, shall accrue for the benefit of Borrower and shall be taxable to Borrower and shall be
Page 56



added to and disbursed in the same manner and under the same conditions as the principal sum on which said interest accrued. Upon indefeasible repayment and performance in full of Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents and, termination in full of all Commitments, all remaining funds held in any Accounts, if any, shall be disbursed to Borrower.
3.5CONSTRUCTION ADVANCES.
(a)Subject to all conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 above and Exhibit D, Construction Advances and the Borrower’s Funds shall be disbursed from time to time in accordance with the Project Budget, to pay for costs of construction of the Project actually incurred, subject to retention in accordance with the Construction Agreement (“Retention”). Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) there shall be no Retention on the Contractor’s fee, general conditions, materials purchased by subcontractors to be used in the construction of the Project and the direct purchase of materials by Borrower or Contractor; and (ii) no Retention shall be required for any subcontractor who has completed its scope of work in substantial accordance with the Plans and Specifications, as verified by the Independent Inspecting Architect, and Borrower has provided all unconditional final lien releases and permit signoffs and thirty (30) days prior. Disbursements made after the deposit of the Borrower’s Funds shall be made first from the Borrower’s Funds Account until fully depleted. All disbursements shall be held by Borrower in trust and applied by Borrower solely for the purposes for which the funds have been disbursed. Administrative Agent and Lenders have no obligation to monitor or determine Borrower’s use or application of the disbursements.
(b)If the total Construction Advances ever exceed the maximum aggregate Construction Commitment, then all such amounts shall nonetheless be evidenced by the Notes and secured by the Security Documents; provided, however, that Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s demand pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
(c)Unless expressly set forth in the Project Budget, no developer’s, management, consulting or brokerage fee or commission, developer profit or other payment to any Affiliate of Borrower shall be paid directly or indirectly from any Construction Advances without Administrative Agent’s prior written approval.
(d)In no event shall Administrative Agent make disbursements: (i) more frequently than monthly; or (ii) except for the final disbursement, in an amount less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000). The maximum amount of Construction Advances that Borrower may request for the Project or for any component or phase thereof shall be as set forth in the Project Budget.
(e)Intentionally omitted.
(f)Intentionally omitted.
(g)Intentionally omitted.
(h)At its option, Administrative Agent may make Construction Advances or other disbursements of funds to cover any expenses or charges that are to be borne by Borrower, including the cost of any required legal fees, appraisals, inspections, certifications or surveys. At its sole option, Administrative Agent may make any disbursements by payment to Borrower or jointly to Borrower and any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or other person performing work or furnishing materials in connection with the construction of the Project.
(i)in the event any Application for Payment includes the cost of construction materials stored at a location other than the Commerce Center Property (“Offsite Materials”), such Application for Payment shall include a representation as to (a) and (b) below, and upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will provide: (a) evidence that the Offsite Materials have been segregated from other materials in the facility and have been appropriately
Page 57



marked to indicate Borrower’s ownership thereof; and (b) evidence that the Offsite Materials are insured as required by this Agreement.
(j)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, to the extent Completion of the Project has occurred, and due to cost savings or otherwise, there remains an undisbursed portion of the Construction Commitment, such undisbursed Loan proceeds shall in no event be disbursed to Borrower. Nothing in this Section 3.5(j) shall prevent Borrower from obtaining disbursements for Retention in accordance with Section 3.7.
(k)Without limiting any of the foregoing, upon Completion of the Project, the Construction Commitment shall be reduced to $0 and all Construction Advances shall automatically become part of the Revolving Loans.
(l)The Commerce Center Trigger Notice must be received by Administrative Agent on or prior to September 27, 2023, and the conditions precedent to the initial Construction Advance must be satisfied on or prior to December 27, 2023. If either of the foregoing deadlines are not met, then (without limiting any other condition precedent to Construction Advances or Lender approvals required in connection therewith as set forth herein) the Construction Commitment shall automatically be reduced to $0 on the applicable deadline date and no Construction Advances will be made.
(m)Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make a Construction Advance for the payment of any cost if the amount of such cost, together with the amounts of other costs included within the same Item in the Project Budget for which requests for Construction Advances have previously been submitted and approved, exceeds the amount set forth in the Project Budget for such Item (after giving effect to the reallocation rights described below). Borrower shall be responsible, at its sole cost and expense from sources other than the Loan, for any such overages, that Administrative Agent may require Borrower to deposit into the Borrower’s Funds Account pursuant to Section 4.16 of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower may reallocate demonstrable, verified cost savings in any Item of the Project Budget after payment of all costs with respect to such Item to any other Item of the Project Budget, provided that (i) Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent in writing of any verified cost savings which Borrower desires to reallocate to another line item, and (ii) Borrower shall provide supporting documentation of such cost savings satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
(n)Reallocations from the Contingency Reserve may, in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, be made to pay previously unanticipated future or contingent costs and expenses of constructing the Project. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, upon written notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower may reallocate the Contingency Reserve as follows: (i) no more than fifty percent (50%) of the Contingency Reserve shall be reallocated until the Project is at least fifty percent (50%) complete (as reasonably determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect); (ii) no more than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Contingency Reserve shall be reallocated until the Project is at least seventy-five percent (75%) complete (as reasonably determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect); and (iii) the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) of the Contingency Reserve shall not be reallocated until after the Project is greater than seventy-five percent (75%) complete (as reasonably determined by the Independent Inspecting Architect).
3.6FUNDS TRANSFER DISBURSEMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, to make Loans and other disbursements as set forth in this Agreement as requested by an authorized representative of Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the then most current Disbursement Instruction Agreement delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of the Loan made by Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and
Page 58



accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire of funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by Borrower. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. If Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower. Borrower agrees to promptly notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests.

Any such inspection or review of the Project by Administrative Agent or Independent Inspecting Architect is solely to determine whether Borrower is properly discharging its obligations under the Loan Documents and may not be relied upon by Borrower or by any third party as a representation or warranty of compliance with this Agreement or any other agreement. Neither Administrative Agent, Independent Inspecting Architect nor any Lender owe a duty of care to any Loan Party or any other Person to protect against, or to inform Borrower or any other Person of, any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective design or construction of the Project as determined by Administrative Agent, the Independent Inspecting Architect or any Lender. It is expressly understood and agreed that Administrative Agent shall have no duty to supervise or to inspect the construction of the Project or any books and records of any party or firm, and that any such inspection shall be for the sole purposes of determining whether or not in Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion the Obligations of Borrower under this Agreement are being properly discharged and of preserving Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. The results of any such inspection shall not constitute an acknowledgment or representation by Administrative Agent or the Independent Inspecting Architect that there has been or will be compliance with the Plans to the extent required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or that the construction is free from defective materials or workmanship, nor shall it constitute a waiver of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Administrative Agent’s failure to inspect the construction of the Project or any part thereof or any books and records shall not constitute a waiver of any of Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder. Neither Borrower nor any third party shall be entitled to rely upon any such inspection or review.
4.14SURVEYS. Upon Administrative Agent’s written request upon Completion of the Project, Borrower shall promptly deliver to Administrative Agent an “as-built” survey reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Title Company.

At any time and from time to time during the term of the Loan, Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to notify Borrower that the Loan is not In-Balance and that a Shortfall exists. If Administrative Agent at any time shall so notify Borrower, Borrower shall within seven (7) Business Days after Administrative Agent’s notification, establish (if not already established) and then deposit in the Borrower’s Funds Account an amount equal to such Shortfall, which amount Administrative Agent shall, provided there is no Event of Default continuing, disburse in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if they were an Advance.

(n)USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution.

An “account” for this purpose may include a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

Borrower shall be solely responsible for all aspects of Borrower’s business and conduct in connection with the Property and any such construction, the supervision of the work of construction, the qualifications, financial condition and performance of all architects, engineers, contractors, material suppliers, consultants and property managers. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender is obligated to supervise, inspect or inform Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person about any aspect of any construction or any other matter referred to above. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Tenant Leases, Administrative Agent or its agents shall have the right to enter upon the Borrowing Base Properties at all reasonable times upon reasonable advance written notice to Borrower in order to inspect the Property. Any such inspection or review by Administrative Agent or its agents is solely to determine whether Borrower is properly discharging its obligations to Administrative Agent and the Lenders and may not be relied upon by Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person as a representation or warranty of compliance with this Agreement or any other agreement. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender owes any duty of care to Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person to protect against, or to inform Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person of any negligent, faulty, inadequate or defective condition at any Property, or with respect to the design or construction of any improvements thereon.

If Borrower shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of the Property Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed in any material respect, then, without limiting Administrative Agent’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and without waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder or under the Property Management Agreement, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act as may be appropriate to cause all the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Property Management Agreement on the part of Borrower to be performed or observed.

Borrower shall promptly provide to Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default, notice of nonperformance or notice of noncompliance received or given by Borrower under the Restrictive Covenant Agreements. Borrower shall also not cause or vote for the levying or imposition of a lien for any special assessment under the Restrictive Covenant Agreements without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld. Without limiting any of the provisions of this section, Borrower shall not assign, transfer, convey, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate or convey any interest in Borrower’s rights and interests under the Restrictive Covenant Agreements, without Lender’s prior written consent.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation thereof, Borrower agrees that no Permitted Equity Transfer shall diminish or otherwise affect Borrower’s liability or obligations under the Loans, the Loan Documents and the Hazardous Materials Indemnity Agreement to which it is a party, or Guarantor’s liability under the Guaranty and the Hazardous Materials Indemnity Agreement.

(o)Guarantor Financial Covenants. Guarantor’s failure to satisfy any financial covenants of Guarantor, or to deliver any certificate certifying as to such compliance, in each case in accordance with the provisions of the Guaranty, provided, however, so long as the Borrowing Base is equal to or greater than the outstanding principal balance of the Loans and further provided the Testing Debt Yield is equal to or greater than the Testing Debt Yield Hurdle, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default unless Guarantor fails to cure such default for two (2) consecutive calendar quarters.

10.3MARSHALING; PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. None of Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower, Borrower Member or Guarantor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or the Specified Derivatives Obligations.

Page 92



Derivatives Provider, or Administrative Agent and/or any Lender and/or any Specified Derivatives Provider enforce their security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or Specified Derivatives Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefore, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
10.4ALLOCATION OF PROCEEDS. If an Event of Default exists and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated or the Maturity Date has occurred, all payments received by Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Obligations or any other amounts payable by Borrower hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a)amounts due to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of expenses due under Section 13.12 and Section 14.1 until paid in full, and then Fees;
(b)amounts due to Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of Protective Advances;
(c)payments of interest: (i) on all Loans; and (ii) in respect of any Specified Derivatives Contract, in each case, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or the applicable Specified Derivatives Providers, in such order as the Lenders or Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be, may determine in their sole discretion;
(d)payments of principal of all other Loans and payments of the Derivatives Termination Value in respect of any and all Specified Derivatives Contracts, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders or Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be, in such order as the Lenders or Specified Derivatives Providers, as the case may be, may determine in their sole discretion;
(e)amounts due to Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Sections 13.12 and 14.1;
(f)payments of all other amounts due under any of the Loan Documents and Specified Derivatives Contracts, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and the applicable Specified Derivatives Providers; and
(g)any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.
10.5RESCISSION OF ACCELERATION BY REQUISITE LENDERS. If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite Lenders, then by written notice to Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit Borrower and do not give Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.
10.6PERFORMANCE BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
Page 93



(a)If Borrower shall fail to perform any other covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents within applicable notice and cure periods, Administrative Agent may perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein, including, without limitation, construction of the Project. In such event, Borrower shall, at the request of Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b)If Administrative Agent determines at any time that the Project is not being constructed, in all material respects, in accordance with the Plans and Specifications and all Applicable Laws or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may immediately cause all construction to cease on any portion of the Project affected by the condition of nonconformance. Borrower shall thereafter not allow any construction work, other than corrective work, to be performed on any portion of the Project affected by the condition of nonconformance until such time as Administrative Agent notifies Borrower in writing that the nonconforming condition has been corrected to its reasonable satisfaction.
10.7RIGHTS CUMULATIVE, NO WAIVER. The rights and remedies of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letter and Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or any of the Specified Derivatives Providers in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver shall be implied from any failure of Administrative Agent or any Lender to take, or any delay by Administrative Agent or any Lender in taking, action concerning any Event of Default or failure of condition under the Loan Documents, or from any previous waiver of any similar or unrelated Default or failure of condition. Any waiver or approval under any of the Loan Documents must be in writing and shall be limited to its specific terms. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived in writing, nor shall any waiver impair any right consequent thereon and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth in such writing. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in any Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
10.8RESCINDED PAYMENTS. In the event, and to the extent, Borrower makes a payment or pays any proceeds to Administrative Agent or any Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof, are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived, reinstated and shall continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable.
10.9PROOFS OF CLAIM. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceeding affecting Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any of their respective creditors or property, Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Administrative Agent and Lenders allowed in such proceedings for the entire indebtedness at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any
Page 94



additional amount which may become due and payable by Borrower hereunder from time to time after such date.
10.10WAIVERS BY BORROWER. Borrower agrees (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit or forgive Borrower from paying all or any portion of the Loan or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and Borrower (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to Administrative Agent and Lenders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by the Loan Parties to any portion of the obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any legal right otherwise available to Borrower that would require the sale of any Collateral either separate or apart from other Collateral, or require Administrative Agent or Lenders to exhaust its or their remedies against any Collateral before proceeding against any other Collateral. Without limiting the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrower hereby waives and shall not assert any rights in respect of a marshalling of Collateral, a sale in the inverse order of alienation, any homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Administrative Agent or Lenders under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Collateral or any portion thereof in any sequence and any combination as determined by Administrative Agent.
10.11CONTINUING DEFAULTS; NOTICES OF DEFAULT. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default is waived in writing by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, any use of the phrases “during the continuance of an Event of Default,” “if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,” “so long as an Event of Default exists” and similar phrases in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, shall not be deemed to mean or imply that Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, shall be obligated to accept any cure of a Default following the expiration of the applicable cure period with respect to such Default, if any, and if, following an Event of Default, Borrower then proffers a cure of such Default, such Default shall only be considered cured within the timeframe of the applicable cure period provided for under the Loan Documents if Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, in its discretion, accepts such proffered cure in writing (notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by any Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default). No notice of a Default or an Event of Default, and no demand upon Borrower, shall in any event, entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

ARTICLE 13 ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT; CO-LENDER PROVISIONS
13.1APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION.
(a)Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents for the benefit of Lenders.
Page 95



(b)Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of Lenders.
(c)Nothing herein shall be construed to deem Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent,” “Agent,” “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
(d)Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 10. Administrative Agent shall also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to Administrative Agent by Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.
(e)As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (including enforcement or collection of any of Borrower’s obligations hereunder), Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the obligations of Borrower; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Laws. Not in limitation of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise any right or remedy it or Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, unless the Requisite Lenders have directed Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Other Related Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all Lenders.
13.2WELLS FARGO AS LENDER. Wells Fargo, as a Lender, and any other Lender that may serve as a successor Administrative Agent, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo (or any such successor Administrative Agent and its affiliates) in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its affiliates (or any such successor Administrative Agent and its affiliates) may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders. Further, Administrative Agent and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders. Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower, other Loan Parties, other subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

13.3LOAN DISBURSEMENTS.
(a)Following receipt of a complete Notice of Borrowing (in the case of Revolving Loans) or an Application for Payment (in the case of Construction Advances), Administrative Agent shall send a copy thereof to each other Lender in accordance with Section 13.3(b) and shall otherwise notify each Lender of the proposed disbursement and the requested funding date. Each Lender shall make available to Administrative Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement in immediately available funds not later than the times designated in Section 13.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender not later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which Borrower has requested that a Construction Advance be made in respect of any disbursement that such Lender does not intend to make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any Lender does not notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata Share of such disbursement as described herein, but does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, such Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement and if such Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such disbursement. Nothing in this Section 13.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance.
(a)Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by Lenders of disbursements shall be made by: (i) posting same to a website maintained by or for the benefit of Administrative Agent (e.g., Syndtrak); and (ii) by either facsimile or e-mail. Each Lender shall make the amount of its disbursement available to Administrative Agent in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 11:00 a.m. on the funding date designated by Administrative Agent with respect to such disbursement, but in no event earlier than two (2) Business Days following Lender’s receipt of Administrative Agent’s request for funding.
(b)Nothing in this Section 13.3 or Section 13.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of disbursements on any funding date, nor shall Administrative Agent or any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations to make any disbursement hereunder, and the Commitment of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a disbursement.
13.4DISTRIBUTION AND APPORTIONMENT OF PAYMENTS; DEFAULTING LENDERS.
(a)Subject to Section 13.4(c), payments actually received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, but in any event within two (2) Business Days; provided that Administrative Agent shall pay to Lenders interest thereon, at the lesser of: (i) the Federal Funds Rate; and (ii) the rate of interest applicable to the Loan, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to Lenders. All payments of principal, interest, and other payments under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be allocated among such of Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares in the Loan or otherwise as provided herein or as separately agreed by Administrative Agent and any Lender. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the
Page 97



appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive; provided, however, that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including instructions from Requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of Lenders as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by Lenders as they may elect, in writing in accordance with this Agreement, without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders shall not constitute property or assets of Administrative Agent and shall be held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as agent for itself and the other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
(b)If for any reason any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent or Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of Administrative Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.
(c)Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of a Protective Advance or prior Revolving Loans or Construction Advances that were previously Non-Pro Rata Advances, or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the amounts due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the indebtedness and obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the indebtedness and obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender (other than a Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender) pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Loan (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender’s (other than a Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender) Pro Rata Share of the Loan), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding: (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary; (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments; or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s (other than a Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender’s) right to vote on matters that are subject to the consent or approval of Requisite Lenders or all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to: (A) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement; and (B) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities and costs, plus interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate, that they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement, including the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or Section 14.12:
(i)the rights of a Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender to participate in the administration of the Loan and the Loan Documents as set forth in this Agreement
Page 98



with respect to actions requiring Requisite Lender or all Lender approval shall not be suspended so long as such Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender responds to any communication or request under the Loan Documents within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof (or such lesser time as may be required by the Loan Documents); and
(ii)any payments received or payable in respect of such Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender’s Pro Rata Share in the Loan shall not be subject to any subordination, escrow or holdback, and shall be distributed to such Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents as if such Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender was not a Defaulting Lender.
(d)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 13.4(c), the rights provided to a Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender hereunder shall apply if, and only to the extent that, such rights are necessary or required to maintain such Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender’s interest in the Loan in the cover pool for German Pfandbrief. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, except as expressly provided in this Section 13.4(d), a Performing Defaulting Pfandbrief Lender shall remain a Defaulting Lender for all other purposes under this Agreement and the Loan Documents.
13.5PRO RATA TREATMENT. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders shall be made from Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Agreement shall be applied to the respective Commitments of Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Loan held by them; provided, however, that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of the Loan the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall not be held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in effect at the time the Loan was made, then such payment shall be applied to the Loan in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan being held by Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments; and (c) each payment of interest on the Loan by Borrower shall be made for the account of Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Loan then due and payable to the respective Lenders.
13.6SHARING OF PAYMENTS, ETC. Lenders agree among themselves that: (a) with respect to all amounts received by them that are applicable to the payment of the obligations of Borrower or Guarantor under the Loan, equitable adjustment shall be made so that, in effect, all such amounts shall be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares in the Loan, whether received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of such obligations; (b) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such obligations held by it that is greater than its Pro Rata Share in the Loan, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with such Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 13.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.
13.7COLLATERAL MATTERS; PROTECTIVE ADVANCES.
(a)Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral, Loan Documents or Other Related Documents
Page 99



that may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
(b)The Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral: (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of obligations of Borrower hereunder; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; or (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in accordance with Section 14.12. Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, Lenders shall confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c)Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral that is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that: (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty; and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the obligations of Borrower or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or any other Loan Party, including the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to Lenders or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or any other Loan Party or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate given Administrative Agent’s own interest in the Collateral as one of Lenders and that Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.
(e)Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to the Property up to the sum of: (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to the Property; and (iii) $3,000,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for the Property shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)Each Lender agrees that it shall not take any action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against Borrower or any other obligor hereunder under the Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents with respect to exercising claims against or rights in the Collateral without the written consent of the Requisite Lenders.
Page 100



13.8POST-FORECLOSURE PLANS. If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the obligations of Borrower hereunder, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders. Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), that shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, that are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to Lenders. All such distributions shall be made to Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. Lenders acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral shall not be held as a permanent investment but shall be liquidated as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders shall determine to be most advantageous to Lenders. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as agent for Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.
13.9APPROVALS OF LENDERS. All communications from Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval: (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender; (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved; (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a brief summary of all material oral information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved; and (d) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
13.10NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of an Event of Default or Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender that is also serving as Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Event of
Page 101



Default or Default, it shall promptly send to Administrative Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to Lenders.
13.11ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S RELIANCE, ETC. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Documents or the Other Related Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of Borrower or other Persons or to inspect the property, books or records of Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.
13.12INDEMNIFICATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided further, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to Administrative Agent) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the
Page 102



parties under, the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents, any suit or action brought by Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents and/or collect any obligation of Borrower hereunder, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by Lenders on the request of Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent shall reimburse Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loan and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
13.13LENDER CREDIT DECISION, ETC. Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, any other Loan Party or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of Borrower, the other Loan Parties or Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, Borrower, any other Loan Party. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to Lenders by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof that may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
13.14RESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
(a)The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such resignation), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank or financial institution reasonably experienced in serving as administrative agent on syndicated bank facilities with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank or financial institution with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment
Page 103



within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Requisite Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Requisite Lenders may, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person, remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower and subject to the consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower (provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such removal), appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Requisite Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable), (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article. Section 13.12 and Section 14.1 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective directors, employees, officers, counsel and other agents or representatives in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or relating to its duties as Administrative Agent that are carried out following its retirement or removal, including, without limitation, any actions taken with respect to acting as collateral agent or otherwise holding any Collateral on behalf of any of the Secured Parties or in respect of any actions taken in connection with the transfer of agency to a replacement or successor Administrative Agent.
13.15TITLED AGENTS. Arranger (herein, a “Titled Agent”) in its capacity as Sole Lead Arranger, and Bookrunner, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including for servicing, enforcement or collection of the Loan, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for Lenders. The titles given to the Titled Agent are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agent to Administrative Agent, any Lender, any other Titled Agent, Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agent any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agent to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Page 104



13.16NO SET-OFFS. Each Lender hereby acknowledges that the exercise by any Lender of offset, set-off, banker’s lien or similar rights against any deposit account or other property or asset of Borrower, whether or not located in California, could result under certain laws in significant impairment of the ability of all Lenders to recover any further amounts in respect of the Loan. Therefore, each Lender agrees not to charge or offset any amount owed to it by Borrower against any of the accounts, property or assets of Borrower or any of its affiliates held by such Lender without the prior written approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.
13.17CERTAIN ERISA MATTERS.
(a)Each Lender: (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto; and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Loan Party, that either:
(i)such Lender is not using and shall not use Plan Assets in connection with the Loan or the Commitments;
(ii)a PTE is available for and all conditions of such PTE are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loan, the Commitments, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents; or

(b)In addition, unless clause (i) in the immediately preceding subsection (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further: (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to; and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of Borrower or any other Loan Party, that:
(i)none of Administrative Agent or its Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto);
(ii)the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loan, the Commitments and this Agreement is independent (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-21) and is a bank, an insurance carrier, an investment adviser, a broker-dealer or other person that holds, or has under management or control, total assets of at least Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000), in each case as described in 29 CFR § 2510.3-21(c)(1)(i)(A)-(E);
(iii)the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loan, the Commitments and this Agreement is capable of evaluating investment risks
Page 105



independently, both in general and with regard to particular transactions and investment strategies (including in respect of such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement);
(iv)the Person making the investment decision on behalf of such Lender with respect to the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loan, and this Agreement is a fiduciary under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code, or both, with respect to the Loan, the Commitments and this Agreement and is responsible for exercising independent judgment in evaluating the transactions hereunder; and
(v)no fee or other compensation is being paid directly to Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates for investment advice (as opposed to other services) in connection with the Loan, the Commitments or this Agreement.
(c)Administrative Agent hereby informs Lenders that it is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and that Administrative Agent has a financial interest in the transactions contemplated hereby in that Administrative Agent or its Affiliates: (i) may receive interest or other payments with respect to the Loan, the Commitments and this Agreement; (ii) may recognize a gain if it extended the Loan, or the Commitments, for an amount less than the amount being paid for an interest in the Loan or the Commitments by such Lender; or (iii) may receive fees or other payments in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, the Loan Documents or otherwise.
13.18ERRONEOUS PAYMENTS.
(a)Each Lender, each other Secured Party and any other party hereto hereby severally agrees that if (i) Administrative Agent notifies (which such notice shall be conclusive absent manifest error) such Lender or any other Secured Party (or the Lender Affiliate of a Secured Party) or any other Person that has received funds from Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates, either for its own account or on behalf of a Lender or other Secured Party (each such recipient, a “Payment Recipient”) that Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion that any funds received by such Payment Recipient were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Payment Recipient) or (ii) any Payment Recipient receives any payment from Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, as applicable, or (z) that such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted or received in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) then, in each case, an error in payment shall be presumed to have been made (any such amounts specified in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 13.18(a), whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise; individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”), then, in each case, such Payment Recipient is deemed to have knowledge of such error at the time of its receipt of such Erroneous Payment; provided that nothing in this Section shall require Administrative Agent to provide any of the notices specified in clauses (i) or (ii) above. Each Payment Recipient agrees that it shall not assert any right or claim to any Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payments, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(b)Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (a), each Payment Recipient agrees that, in the case of clause (a)(ii) above, it shall promptly notify Administrative Agent in writing of such occurrence.
Page 106



(c)In the case of either clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of Administrative Agent, and upon demand from Administrative Agent such Payment Recipient shall (or, shall cause any Person who received any portion of an Erroneous Payment on its behalf to), promptly, but in all events no later than one Business Day thereafter, return to Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made in same day funds and in the currency so received, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent at the Overnight Rate.
(d)In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (c), from any Lender that is a Payment Recipient or an Affiliate of a Payment Recipient (such unrecovered amount as to such Lender, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), then at the sole discretion of Administrative Agent and upon Administrative Agent’s written notice to such Lender (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have made a cashless assignment of a portion of its Loan (but not its Commitments) in the amount of such portion to Administrative Agent or, at the option of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent’s applicable lending affiliate, in an amount that is equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loan (but not Commitments), the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) plus any accrued and unpaid interest on such assigned amount, without further consent or approval of any party hereto and without any payment by Administrative Agent or its applicable lending affiliate as the assignee of such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. Without limitation of its rights hereunder, Administrative Agent may cancel any Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment at any time by written notice to the applicable assigning Lender and upon such revocation the portion of the Loan assigned pursuant to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment shall be reassigned to such Lender without any requirement for payment or other consideration. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (1) any assignment contemplated in this clause (d) shall be made without any requirement for any payment or other consideration paid by the applicable assignee or received by the assignor, (2) the provisions of this clause (d) shall govern in the event of any conflict with the terms and conditions of Section 14.13 and (3) Administrative Agent may reflect such assignments in the Register without further consent or action by any other Person.
(e)Each party hereto hereby agrees that (x) in the event an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, Administrative Agent (1) shall be subrogated to all the rights of such Payment Recipient with respect to such amount and (2) is authorized to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Payment Recipient under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by Administrative Agent to such Payment Recipient from any source, against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section 13.18 or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement, (y) the receipt of an Erroneous Payment by a Payment Recipient shall not for the purpose of this Agreement be treated as a payment, prepayment, repayment, discharge or other satisfaction of any Obligations owed by Borrower or any other Loan Party, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by Administrative Agent from Borrower or any other Loan Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Obligations and (z) to the extent that an Erroneous Payment was in any way or at any time credited as payment or satisfaction of any of the Obligations, the Obligations or any part thereof that were so credited, and all rights of the Payment Recipient, as the case may be, shall be reinstated and continue in full force and effect as if such payment or satisfaction had never been received.
(f)Each party’s obligations under this Section 13.18 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any transfer of right or obligations by, or the replacement
Page 107



of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)Nothing in this Section 13.18 will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from any Payment Recipient’s receipt of an Erroneous Payment.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, BORROWER SHALL NOT INDEMNIFY INDEMNITEES FROM ANY LOSS OR EXPENSE ARISING FROM SUCH PERSON’S WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR GROSS NEGLIGENCE AS DETERMINED BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT. BORROWER SHALL PROMPTLY PAY TO THE APPLICABLE INDEMNITEES UPON DEMAND ANY AMOUNTS OWING UNDER THIS INDEMNITY, TOGETHER WITH INTEREST FROM THE DATE THE INDEBTEDNESS ARISES UNTIL PAID AT THE RATE OF INTEREST APPLICABLE TO THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THE NOTES. BORROWER’S DUTY AND OBLIGATION TO DEFEND, INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS INDEMNITEES SHALL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OF THE NOTES AND THE RECONVEYANCE, RELEASE OR SATISFACTION OR PARTIAL RECONVEYANCE, RELEASE OR SATISFACTION OF THE SECURITY INSTRUMENT OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
14.2FORM OF DOCUMENTS. The form and substance of all documents, instruments, and forms of evidence to be delivered to Administrative Agent under the terms of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall be subject to Administrative Agent’s approval and shall not be modified, superseded or terminated in any respect without Administrative Agent’s prior written approval.
14.3NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED. No person other than Administrative Agent, Lenders and Borrower and their permitted successors and assigns shall have any right of action under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.

Page 108



without delay, any notices, letters or other communications delivered to the Property or to Borrower naming Administrative Agent or any Lender or the “Construction Lender” or any similar designation as addressee, or that could reasonably be deemed to affect the construction of the Project or the ability of Borrower to perform its obligations to Lenders under the Loan Documents.
14.5ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent, as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, which agency is coupled with an interest, to execute and/or record in Administrative Agent’s or Borrower’s name any notices, instruments or documents that Administrative Agent deems appropriate to protect Lenders’ interest under any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents. The powers of attorney granted to Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be unaffected by the disability of the principal. Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to exercise any of the powers granted it. Administrative Agent discloses, and Borrower hereby acknowledges, that Administrative Agent may exercise any of the powers of attorney granted it for its and Lenders’ benefit, and such authority need not be exercised for or in Borrower’s best interest. In every instance where a party appoints an “attorney-in-fact” under a Loan Document, such appointment shall be deemed to include appointment of the named Person as such party’s agent.
14.6ACTIONS.

14.7INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
14.8RELATIONSHIP OF PARTIES. The relationship of Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders under the Loan Documents and Other Related Documents is, and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrower and lender, and Administrative Agent and Lenders neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or to any third party with respect to the Property, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Other Related Documents.
14.9DELAY OUTSIDE LENDER’S CONTROL. No Lender or Administrative Agent shall be liable in any way to Borrower or any third party for Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s failure to perform or delay in performing under the Loan Documents (and Administrative Agent or any Lender may suspend or terminate all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents) if such failure to perform or delay in performing results directly or indirectly from, or is based upon, the action, inaction, or purported action, of any Governmental Authority, or because of war, rebellion, insurrection, strike, lock-out, boycott or blockade (whether presently in effect, announced or in the sole judgment of Administrative Agent or such Lender deemed probable), or from any Act of God, pandemic, epidemic, or other cause or event beyond Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s control.
14.10ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES; ENFORCEMENT. If any attorney is engaged by Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, or as a consequence of any Event of Default under the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, and including any fees and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy or other proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, or in connection with any appeal of a lower court decision, of any Loan Party, then Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent or such Lender, upon demand, the amount of all reasonable, out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees and expenses and all costs incurred by Administrative Agent or such Lender in connection therewith, including all trial and appellate proceedings in any legal action, suit, bankruptcy or other proceeding, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Loan.

14.12AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS.

Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided in Section 2.6(c), up to a maximum of three (3) times per calendar year. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Default is waived in writing by Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(b)Affected Lender Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall:
(i)increase the Commitments of any Lender (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 14.13) or subject any Lender to any additional monetary obligations (other than de minimis costs), without the written consent of such Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to Protective Advances made in accordance with this Agreement;

Page 110



“Pro Rata Shares,” without the written consent of each Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;

(xi)permit the Property or any portion thereof to secure any indebtedness other than: (A) the Loan; and (B) any Specified Derivatives Contract, without the written consent of each Lender.
(c)Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective as against Administrative Agent, unless the same is in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to Lenders required herein to take such action, nor shall they shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or Other Related Documents.
(d)Technical Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.12, if Administrative Agent and Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents or an inconsistency between provisions of any such Loan Documents or Other Related Documents, then Administrative Agent and Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, shall be permitted to amend such provision or provisions to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of Lenders. Any such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any of other Lender.
(e)Benchmark Replacement Amendment. Administrative Agent and Borrower may, without the consent of any Lender, enter into amendments or modifications to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or to enter into additional Loan Documents as Administrative Agent reasonably deems appropriate in order to implement any Benchmark Replacement or otherwise effectuate the terms of Section 2.8 in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8.
14.13SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; PARTICIPATIONS.
(a)Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except: (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.13(b); (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.13(d); or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the
Page 111



restrictions of Section 14.13(e) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 14.13(d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates, the partners, shareholders, directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, counsel, other advisors and representatives of Administrative Agent and Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the portion of the Loan at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)Minimum Amounts.
(A)in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of an assigning Lender’s Commitment and the portion of the Loan at the time owing to it, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for the purpose of this subsection (B) includes such Lender’s portion of the Loan outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is fully funded, the principal outstanding balance of the Loan of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), unless each of Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Default shall exist, Borrower, otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Commitment held by such assigning Lender would be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Commitment.
(ii)Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Loan or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b), and the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a Lender.
(iv)Assignment and Assumption; Notes. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 for each assignment (which fee Administrative Agent may elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.
Page 112



(v)No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to: (A) Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates; (B) to a natural person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person); or (C) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate thereof.
(vi)Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of the Loan previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to: (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon); and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Pro Rata Share of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 14.13(b), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.10, Section 13.12 and Section 14.1 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that expressly survive termination of this Agreement with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, however, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.13(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).
(c)Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the portion of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person,
Page 113



or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the portion of the Loan owing to it); provided that: (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (iii) Borrower, Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 13.12 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in Section 14.12(b)(i), Section 14.12(b)(ii), Section 14.12(b)(iii), or Section 14.12(b)(iv) that directly and adversely affects such Participant. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.9, Section 2.10 and Section 2.11 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.11(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.11(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.13(b); provided that such Participant: (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.12 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.13(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.10 or Section 2.11, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.12(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.16 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 13.6 and Section 13.16 as though it were a Lender.
Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) or Proposed Section 1.163-5(b) of the United States Treasury Regulations (or, in each case, any amended or successor version). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)Certain Pledges; Pfandbriefbank Transfers. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 14.13, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section 14.13, including any requirement to provide notice to, or obtain the consent of, Borrower, Administrative Agent or any other Lender, any Lender may at any time and from time to time: (i) pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; and
Page 114



(ii) pledge or otherwise Transfer its interest in the Loan to any Person which is a trustee, administrator or receiver (or their respective nominees, collateral agents or collateral trustees) of a mortgage pool securing covered mortgaged bonds issued by an eligible German bank (Pfandbriefbank), the bondholders (as a collective whole) thereof, or by any other Person otherwise permitted to issue covered mortgage bonds (Hypothekenpfandbriefe) under German Pfandbrief legislation, as such legislation may be amended and in effect from time to time, or any successor or substitute legislation, and any such Person shall have the right to be a “Lender” in lieu of the Lender which assigned, pledged or otherwise transferred its interest to such Person; provided that, in either case, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations hereunder.
(f)No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of Borrower and Administrative Agent, it shall not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, the Loan or Notes under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.
(g)PATRIOT Act Notice; Compliance. The PATRIOT Act and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities that open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as Administrative Agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and Borrower shall, and shall cause the other Loan Parties, to provide to such Lender, such Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

14.15LENDER’S AGENTS. Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may designate an agent or independent contractor to exercise any of such Person’s rights under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents and Other Related Documents. Any reference to Administrative Agent or any Lender in any of the Loan Documents or Other Related Documents shall include Administrative Agent’s and such Lender’s agents, employees or independent contractors. Borrower shall pay the reasonable, out-of-pocket costs of such agent or independent contractor either directly to such person or to Administrative Agent or such Lender in reimbursement of such costs, as applicable.
14.16TAX SERVICE. Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is authorized to secure, at Borrower’s expense, a tax service contract with a third party vendor that shall provide tax information on the Property satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other Lender, Borrower, any Affiliate or any other Loan Party.

14.32ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND CONSENT TO BAIL-IN OF EEA FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
14.33ACKNOWLEDGEMENT REGARDING ANY SUPPORTED QFCS. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Derivatives Contracts or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions herein applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):
(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party shall be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that
Page 118



rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)As used in this Section 14.33, the following terms have the following meanings:

14.35CO-BORROWER PROVISIONS. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the Loan and all other obligations arising under this Agreement and/or any of the other Loan Documents. In furtherance thereof, each Borrower acknowledges and agrees as follows:

(a)For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints each other Borrower as its agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.
(b)To induce Lenders to make the Loan, and in consideration thereof, each Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent, Lenders and the other Indemnitees against, and hold Administrative Agent, Lenders and the other Indemnitees harmless from, any and all out of pocket liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and/or claims of damage or injury
Page 119



asserted against Administrative Agent and/or Lenders by any Borrower or by any other Person arising from or incurred by reason of reliance by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders on any requests or instructions from any Borrower.
(c)Each Borrower acknowledges that the liens and security interests created or granted herein and by the other Loan Documents will secure the obligations of each Borrower under the Loan Documents and, in full recognition of that fact, each Borrower consents and agrees that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand except as otherwise required hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and without affecting the enforceability or security hereof or of any other Loan Document:
(i)agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend, extend, renew, accelerate, or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the obligations or any part thereof, including any increase or decrease of the rate(s) of interest thereon;
(ii)agree with any Borrower to supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the obligations or any part thereof or any of the Loan Documents or any additional security or guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation or term thereof or thereunder;
(iii)accept new or additional instruments, documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Loan Documents or the obligations or any part thereof;
(iv)accept partial payments on the obligations;
(v)receive and hold additional security or guaranties for the obligations or any part thereof;
(vi)release, reconvey, terminate, waive, abandon, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and enforce any security for or guaranties of the obligations, and apply any security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine;
(vii)release any Person or any guarantor from any personal liability with respect to the obligations or any part thereof; or
(viii)settle, release on terms satisfactory to Administrative Agent or by operation of Applicable Laws or otherwise liquidate or enforce any obligations and any security therefor or guaranty thereof in any manner, consent to the transfer of any such security and bid and purchase at any sale; and consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the corporate existence of any Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly restructure the obligations of such Borrower or other Person, and any such merger, change, restructuring or termination shall not affect the liability of any Borrower or the continuing existence of any lien or security interest hereunder, under any other Loan Document to which any Borrower is a party or the enforceability hereof or thereof with respect to all or any part of the obligations.
(d)Upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Administrative Agent may enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents independently as to each Borrower and independently of any other remedy or security Administrative Agent and/or Lenders at any time may have or hold in connection with the obligations, and in collecting on the Loan it shall not be necessary for Administrative Agent to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any other security or remedy before proceeding to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower expressly waives to the extent permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws any right to require Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, in connection with Administrative Agent’s and/or
Page 120



Lenders’ efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other obligations, to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against any other Person or any collateral provided by any other Person, and agrees that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may proceed against any Persons and/or collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion in connection with Administrative Agent’s efforts to obtain repayment of the Loan and other obligations. Administrative Agent may file a separate action or actions against each Borrower to enforce the obligations, whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any other security or against any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or actions. Each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent, Lenders, each other Borrower and/or any other Person may deal with the Administrative Agent and Lenders in connection with the obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or agreements now or hereafter existing between any of them or between any Borrower and/or any other Person, in any manner whatsoever, all without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The rights of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be reinstated and revived, and the enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue, with respect to any amount at any time paid on account of the obligations which thereafter shall be required to be restored or returned by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders as a result of the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all as though such amount had not been paid. The enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents at all times shall remain effective even though any or all obligations, or any other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or otherwise unenforceable as against any Borrower or any other Person and whether or not any Borrower or any other Person shall have any personal liability with respect thereto. Each Borrower expressly waives to the extent permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws any and all defenses to the enforcement of its obligations under the Loan Documents now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other Person with respect to the obligations; (ii) any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Borrower or any principal thereof or any defect in the formation of any Borrower or any such principal; (iii) any defense based upon the application by any Borrower of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes permitted under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders; (v) any defense based upon Administrative Agent and/or Lender’s failure to disclose any information concerning any other Borrower’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on any other Borrower’s ability to pay all sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) the unenforceability or invalidity of any security or guaranty for the obligations or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the obligations; (vii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower or any other Person (other than by reason of the full and final payment and performance of all obligations); (viii) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to marshal assets in favor of any Borrower or any other Person; (ix) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to give notice of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for the obligations to any Borrower or to any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection with any such sale or disposition; (x) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to comply in any non-material respect with applicable laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other security for any obligation; (xi) any act or omission of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders or others that directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge or release of any Borrower or of any other Person or of any of the obligations or any other security or guaranty therefor by operation of law or otherwise; (xii) any law which provides that the obligation of a surety or guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal or which reduces a surety’s or guarantor’s obligation in proportion to the principal obligation; (xiii) any right to enforce any remedy which Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may have against any other Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security for the Note or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders; (xiv) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of each Borrower or the enforcement hereof; (xv) any failure of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to file or enforce a claim in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law with respect to any Person; (xvi) the election by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law of any Person, of the application or non-
Page 121



application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xvii) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under Section 364 of the United States Bankruptcy Code except to the extent otherwise provided in this Agreement; (xviii) any use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xix) any agreement or stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law of any Person; (xx) the avoidance of any lien or security interest in favor of Administrative Agent securing the obligations for any reason; or (xxi) any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law commenced by or against any Person, including any discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the obligations (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding.
(e)Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that it has established adequate means of obtaining from each other Borrower, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to their respective businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) and their respective properties, and each now is and hereafter will be completely familiar with the businesses, operations and condition (financial and otherwise) of the other and their respective properties. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of Administrative Agent and/or Lenders to disclose to such Borrower any matter, fact or thing related to the businesses, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any other Borrower or any other Borrower’s property, whether now known or hereafter known by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders during the life of this Agreement. If Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, Administrative Agent or such Lender shall not be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Borrower or any other Person on any subsequent occasion. With respect to any of the obligations, Administrative Agent and/or Lenders need not inquire into the powers of any Borrower or the officers, employees or other Persons acting or purporting to act on such Borrower’s behalf.
(f)Each Borrower understands that the exercise by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate such Borrower’s right of subrogation against any other Borrower or any guarantor and that such Borrower may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, each Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Administrative Agent, Lenders and their successors, endorsees and assigns, to exercise in its or their sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of such Borrower that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Loan Documents to the contrary, until all obligations have been repaid and the Security Deed has been released or reconveyed, each Borrower hereby waives and releases any claim or other rights which such Borrower may now have or hereafter acquire against any other Borrower or any guarantor of all or any of the obligations of such Borrower hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of such Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Administrative Agent and Lenders against any other Borrower or any collateral which Administrative Agent now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any other Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights.
(g)Without limiting the foregoing, or anything else contained in this Agreement, each Borrower waives the extent permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws all rights and defenses that it may have because the obligations are secured by real property. This means, among other things:
(i)Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may collect on the obligations from any Borrower without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any other Borrower; and
Page 122



(ii)If Administrative Agent and/or Lenders foreclose on any real property collateral pledged by any Borrower for the obligations: (A) the amount of the indebtedness owed by any other Borrower may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price; and (B) Administrative Agent and Lenders may collect from any Borrower even if Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right any Borrower may have to collect from any other Borrower.
(iii)This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses each Borrower may have because the obligations are secured by real property.
(h)Without limiting the foregoing waivers and release contained in this Section 14.35:
(i)Each Borrower subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing by any other Borrower to such Borrower to the obligations at any time owing by any other Borrower to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower assigns all such indebtedness to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of itself and the Lenders) as security for the obligations.
(ii)Each Borrower agrees to make no claim on such indebtedness until all obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents have been fully discharged.
(iii)Each Borrower further agrees not to assign all or any part of such indebtedness unless Administrative Agent is given prior notice and such assignment is expressly made subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If Administrative Agent so requests, (i) all instruments evidencing such indebtedness shall be duly endorsed and delivered to Administrative Agent, (ii) all security for such indebtedness shall be duly assigned and delivered to Administrative Agent, (iii) such indebtedness shall be enforced, collected and held by such Borrower as trustee for Administrative Agent and shall be paid over to Administrative Agent on account of the Loan but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Borrower under the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iv) such Borrower shall execute, file and record such documents and instruments and take such other action as Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce Administrative Agent’s rights in and to such indebtedness and any security therefor. If such Borrower fails to take any such action, Administrative Agent, as attorney in fact for such Borrower, is hereby authorized to do so in the name of such Borrower. The foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked.
(i)Each Borrower acknowledges that: (a) the obligations under the Loan Documents are complex in nature, (b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of Administrative Agent’s and Lenders’ consideration for entering into these transactions, Administrative Agent and Lenders have specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by each Borrower (to the extent permitted pursuant to Applicable Laws) of all such defenses, and each Borrower has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, each Borrower does hereby represent and confirm to Administrative Agent and Lenders that each Borrower is fully informed regarding, and thoroughly understands: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Borrower, and (iv) the legal consequences to Borrower of waiving such defenses. Each Borrower acknowledges that all of the informed waivers herein shall be fully enforceable by Administrative Agent and/or Lenders, and that Administrative Agent and Lenders are induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof. If
Page 123



any of the waivers or consents herein are determined to be contrary to any Applicable Law or public policy, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
14.36CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT.

(a)Each Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and Lenders that it will derive benefit, directly and indirectly, from the collective administration and availability of the Loan under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent and Lenders will not be required to inquire as to the disposition by any Borrower of funds disbursed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents.
(b)As used in this Section 14.36: (i) the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower, as of any date of determination, shall be determined to be an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the maximum amount which could then be claimed against such Borrower without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law; and (ii) the term “Allocable Share” mean, at the relevant time of calculation with respect to any Borrower, a fraction, the numerator of which equals such Borrower’s Allocable Amount and the denominator of which equals the Allocable Amounts of each Borrower, collectively.
(c)To the extent that a payment is made on the Loan by a Borrower (an “Individual Borrower Payment”) which, taking into account all other Individual Borrower Payments then previously or concurrently made by or attributable to any other Borrower, exceeds such Borrower’s Allocable Share of all such Individual Borrower Payments (as such share would then be calculated immediately prior to such Individual Borrower Payment), then such Borrower shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and to be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Shares as in effect immediately prior to such Individual Borrower Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Borrower may provide for an allocation consistent with the foregoing which requires each Borrower which received a direct financial benefit from the Loan in respect of which a payment by a Borrower has been made and for which contribution is sought to make contribution payments before each Borrower which did not receive a direct financial benefit is obligated to make contribution payments.
(d)Each Borrower acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of any Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing. This Section 14.36 is intended only to define the relative rights of each Borrower, and nothing set forth in this Section 14.36 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of any Borrower with respect to its obligations and liabilities to Administrative Agent and Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
14.37AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT. The parties to this Agreement agree that, upon the execution and delivery by each of the parties hereto of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Original Loan Agreement shall be and hereby are amended, superseded and restated in their entirety by the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Borrower hereby acknowledges and reaffirms the existence and continuation of the liens and security interests granted under all existing deeds of trusts and security agreements, which shall remain in full force and effect, but in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents as modified in connection with this Agreement. The parties to this Agreement agree that this Agreement is not intended to and shall not constitute a novation of any of the Obligations.

14.38OMNIBUS AMENDMENT TO LOAN DOCUMENTS. Upon full execution of this Agreement and satisfaction of all conditions precedent set forth herein, all references in the Loan Documents to (i) the “Loan” or “Loans” shall now refer to the Loan or Loans (as defined in the recitals above); (ii) the “Loan Agreement” shall now refer to the Original Loan Agreement as amended and restated hereby and as otherwise amended, modified and ratified from time to time; (iii) the “Security
