2.2.1 Interest Rate. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue throughout the Term at the Interest Rate.
2.2.2 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all other portions of the Debt, shall accrue interest at the Default Rate, calculated from the date such payment was due or such Default shall have occurred without regard to any grace or cure periods contained herein. Interest at the Default Rate shall be paid immediately upon demand, which demand may be made as frequently as Lender shall elect, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law.
2.2.3 Interest Calculation. Interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the actual number of days elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (B) a daily rate based on a three hundred sixty (360) day year (that is, the Interest Rate expressed as an annual rate divided by 360) by (C) the Outstanding Principal Balance. The accrual period for calculating interest due on each Monthly Payment Date shall be the Interest Period immediately prior to such Monthly Payment Date.
2.2.4 Usury Savings. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are subject to the express condition that at no time shall Borrowers be required to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal liability as a result of being in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate. If by the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Borrowers are at any time required or obligated to pay interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance at a rate in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, the Interest Rate shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to the Maximum Legal Rate and all previous payments in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate shall be deemed to have been payments in reduction of principal and not on account of the interest due hereunder. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until payment in full so that the rate or amount of
25
interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the Maximum Legal Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long as the Loan is outstanding.
Section 2.3 Loan Payments.
2.3.1 Payments. On the date hereof, Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid Outstanding Principal Balance from the Closing Date through and including March 5, 2020 (the “Initial Interest Period”). On April 6, 2020 and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter through and including the Monthly Payment Date immediately preceding the Amortization Commencement Date, Borrowers shall make a payment of interest on the Outstanding Principal Balance accrued at the Interest Rate during the Interest Period immediately preceding such Monthly Payment Date (the “Monthly Interest Payment Amount”). On the Amortization Commencement Date and each Monthly Payment Date thereafter during the Term, Borrowers shall make a payment of principal and interest equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount (including, from and after any Partial Defeasance, any payments received under any Defeased Note). The Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to the Outstanding Principal Balance. Borrowers shall also pay to Lender all amounts required in respect of Reserve Funds as set forth in Article 6 hereof.
2.3.2 Payments Generally. After the Initial Interest Period, each interest accrual period thereafter (each, an “Interest Period”) shall commence on the sixth (6th) day of each calendar month during the Term and shall end on and include the fifth (5th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. Lender shall have the right from time to time prior to Securitization, in its sole discretion, upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Borrowers, to change the Monthly Payment Date to a different calendar day and, if requested by Lender, Borrowers shall promptly execute an amendment to this Agreement to evidence such change; provided, however, that if Lender shall have elected to change the Monthly Payment Date as aforesaid, Lender shall have the option, but not the obligation, to adjust the Interest Period accordingly. With respect to payments of principal due on the Maturity Date, interest shall be payable at the Interest Rate, through and including the day immediately preceding such Maturity Date. All amounts due pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or any other deduction whatsoever.
2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrowers shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder and under the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents.
2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sum due under the Loan Documents (other than the Outstanding Principal Balance due and payable on the Maturity Date) is not paid by Borrowers on the date on which it is due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender upon demand an amount equal to the lesser of five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents to the extent permitted by law.
26
2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment.
(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or at such other place as Lender shall from time to time designate, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.
(b) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be the immediately preceding Business Day.
(c) All payments required to be made by Borrowers hereunder or under the Note or the other Loan Documents shall be made irrespective of, and without deduction for, any setoff, claim or counterclaim and shall be made irrespective of any defense thereto.

The Defeased Note and Undefeased Note shall have terms identical to the terms of the Note, except for the principal balance and a pro rata allocation of the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount. (After a Partial Defeasance, all references hereunder and in the other Loan Documents to “Note” shall be deemed to mean the Undefeased Note, unless expressly provided to the contrary.) A Defeased Note cannot be the subject of any further defeasance;

(b) Successor Borrower. Upon the defeasance of the Loan under this Section 2.4.2, Borrowers may, or at the option of Lender shall, in the case of a Full Defeasance, assign all of its Obligations, or, in the case of a Partial Defeasance, assign all of its Obligations under the associated Defeased Note, together with the pledged Defeasance Collateral, to a successor entity designated by Lender in its sole discretion or, at the option of Lender, designated by Borrowers and approved by Lender (in each case, the “Successor Borrower”). Lender shall have the right to establish or designate the Successor Borrower and to purchase, or cause to be purchased, the Defeasance Collateral, which rights may be exercised in Lender’s sole discretion and shall be retained by the Lender named herein notwithstanding the transfer or securitization of the Loan. Such successor entity shall execute an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender pursuant to which it shall assume Borrowers’ Obligations and the Defeasance Security Agreement. As conditions to such assignment and assumption, Borrowers shall (i) deliver to Lender an opinion of counsel in form and substance and delivered by counsel satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion stating, among other things, that such assumption agreement is enforceable against Borrowers and such successor entity in accordance with its terms and that the Note, the Defeasance Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as so assumed, are enforceable against such successor entity in accordance with their respective terms, and (ii) pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender or its agents in connection with such assignment and assumption (including, without limitation, the review of the proposed transferee and the preparation of the assumption agreement and related documentation).

(c) Appointment as Attorney in Fact. Upon the defeasance of the Loan in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 2.4.2, Borrowers shall have no further right to prepay the Note (or in the case of a Partial Defeasance, the Defeased Note) pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.4.2 or otherwise. In connection with the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4.2, Borrowers hereby appoints Lender as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the purpose
29
of purchasing the Defeasance Collateral with funds provided by Borrowers. Borrowers shall pay any and all out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the purchase of the Defeasance Collateral and any revenue, documentary stamp or intangible taxes or any other tax or charge due in connection with the transfer of the Note or otherwise required to accomplish the agreements of this Section 2.4.2.
2.4.3 Open Prepayment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and provided that Borrowers shall deliver to Lender a Prepayment Notice, Borrowers may prepay the entire principal balance of the Note and any other amounts outstanding under the Note, this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents, without payment of the Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee, on any Business Day on or after the Open Prepayment Date. If such prepayment is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, Borrowers shall also pay interest that would have accrued on the principal balance of the Note to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date.

Except during an Event of Default, such Net Proceeds shall be applied by Lender as follows in the following order of priority: First, to all amounts (other than principal and interest) then due and payable under the Loan Documents, including any out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender in connection with such prepayment; Second; accrued and unpaid interest at the Interest Rate; and Third, to principal. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, so long as no Event of Default is continuing, no Prepayment Fee or any other prepayment premium, penalty or fee shall be due in connection with any prepayment made pursuant to this Section 2.4.4. Any partial principal prepayment under this Section 2.4.4 shall be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Loan.
2.4.5 Prepayments After Default.
(a) If, during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered by any Borrower and accepted by Lender or is otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds), such tender or recovery shall be deemed to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrowers in violation of the prohibition against prepayment set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrowers shall pay, as part of the Debt, all of: (i) all accrued interest at the Default Rate and, if such tender and acceptance is not made on a Monthly Payment Date, interest that would have accrued on the Debt to, but not including, the next Monthly Payment Date, (ii) an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee, and (iii) in the event the payment occurs on or prior to the Defeasance Lockout Expiration Date, the Liquidated Damages Amount.
(b) IF DURING THE CONTINUANCE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT, ALL OR ANY PART OF THE LOAN IS REPAID ON OR PRIOR TO THE DEFEASANCE LOCKOUT EXPIRATION DATE, THEN BORROWERS SHALL PAY TO LENDER, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY, AND IN ADDITION TO ANY AND ALL OTHER SUMS AND FEES PAYABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE

No Borrower has committed any act which may give any Governmental Authority the right to cause such Borrower to forfeit the Property owned by such Borrower or any part thereof or any monies paid in performance of such Borrower’s Obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Each Property is used exclusively for retail, office, and manufacturing, as applicable, and other appurtenant and related uses. In the event that all or any part of the Improvements are destroyed or damaged, said Improvements can be legally reconstructed to their condition prior to such damage or destruction, and thereafter exist for the same use without violating any zoning or other ordinances applicable thereto and without the necessity of obtaining any variances or special permits. No legal proceedings are pending or, to Borrowers’ knowledge, threatened with respect to the zoning of any Property. Neither the zoning nor any other right to construct, use or operate any Property is in any way dependent upon or related to any property other than such Property. All certifications, permits, licenses and approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits required of Borrowers for the legal use, occupancy and operation of the Properties for their current uses (collectively, the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. The use being made of each Property is in conformity with the certificate of occupancy issued for such Property and all other restrictions, covenants and conditions affecting such Property.

Annual Budgets delivered to Lender (other than during the continuance of a Trigger Period) or approved by Lender (during the continuance of a Trigger Period) shall hereinafter be referred to as an “Approved Annual Budget”. During the continuance of a Trigger Period, until such time that any Annual Budget has been approved by Lender, the prior Approved Annual Budget shall apply for all purposes hereunder (with such adjustments as reasonably determined by Lender to reflect actual increases in Taxes, Insurance Premiums, and utilities expenses). To the extent Lender has approval rights over an Annual Budget pursuant to this Section 4.9.5, neither any Borrower nor Manager shall change or modify the Annual Budget that has been approved by Lender without the prior written consent of Lender. During the continuance of a Trigger Period, Lender may require each Borrower, on a quarterly basis, to furnish to Lender for approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld provided no Event of Default exists) an updated Annual Budget.

Any Extraordinary Operating Expense approved by Lender is referred to herein as an (“Approved Extraordinary Operating Expense”). In no event shall management fees in excess of the Management Fee Cap be paid to Manager as part of the Approved Extraordinary Operating Expense funds distributed to Borrowers during a Trigger Period pursuant to Section 6.13.1 unless expressly approved by Lender in advance in its sole discretion. Any Funds distributed to Borrowers for the payment of Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 6.13.1 shall be used by Borrowers only to pay for such Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses or reimburse Borrowers for such Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, as applicable.
4.9.7 Breach. If any Borrower fails to provide to Lender or its designee any of the financial statements, certificates, reports or information (the “Required Records”) required by this Section 4.9 within thirty (30) days after the date upon which such Required Record is due, Borrowers shall pay to Lender, at Lender’s option and in its discretion, an amount equal to $500 for each Required Record that is not delivered; provided Lender has given Borrowers at least thirty (30) days prior notice of such failure. In addition, thirty (30) days after Borrower’s failure to deliver any Required Records, Lender shall have the option, upon fifteen (15) days notice to Borrowers to gain access to such Borrower’s books and records and prepare or have prepared at Borrowers’ expense, any Required Records not delivered by such Borrower.

Each Borrower (i) shall observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases in a commercially reasonable manner; (ii) shall enforce the terms, covenants and conditions contained in the Leases upon the part of the Tenants thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable manner, provided, however, no Borrower shall terminate or accept a surrender of a Major Lease without Lender’s prior approval; (iii) shall not collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than security deposits); (iv) shall not execute any assignment of lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); and (v) shall not alter, modify or change any Lease so as to change the amount of or payment date for rent, change the expiration date, grant any option for additional space or term, materially reduce the obligations of the Tenant or increase the obligations of the lessor.

To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, Borrowers shall pay the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.
Section 4.31 ERISA.
(a) No Borrower shall engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder (or the exercise by Lender or any assignee of any of its rights under the Note, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) to be a non-exempt (under a statutory or administrative class exemption) prohibited transaction under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”) or Section 4975 of the Code.

In the event that any Borrower fails to comply with the Patriot Act or any such requirements of Governmental Authorities, then Lender may, at its option, cause such Borrower to comply therewith and any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection therewith shall be secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents and shall be immediately due and payable.
(b) No Borrower or any owner of a direct or indirect interest in any Borrower (i) is or will be listed on any Government Lists, (ii) is or will be a person who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in Presidential Executive Order No. 13224 (Sept. 23, 2001) or any other similar prohibitions contained in the rules and regulations of OFAC or in any enabling legislation or other Presidential Executive Orders in respect thereof, (iii) has been previously or will be indicted for or convicted of any felony involving a crime or crimes of moral turpitude or for any Patriot Act Offense, or (iv) is currently or will be under investigation by any Governmental Authority for alleged criminal activity.

App. 1 et seq., and any Executive Orders or regulations promulgated thereunder, with the result that the investment in such Borrower, Key Principal or such Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law (each, an “Embargoed Person”), or the Loan made by Lender would be in violation of law, (b) no Embargoed Person shall have any interest of any nature whatsoever in such Borrower, Key Principal or such Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in such Borrower, Key Principal or such Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law or the Loan would be in violation of law, and (c) none of the funds of any Borrower, Key Principal or any Guarantor, as applicable, shall be derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in such Borrower, Key Principal or such Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), would be prohibited by law or the Loan would be in violation of law.

(a) Borrowers shall perform in all material respects all of the obligations of the Unit owner under the Condominium Documents.
(b) Borrowers shall promptly pay, when due and payable all charges, dues and assessments imposed on the Unit owner under the Condominium Documents, including without limitation, any Common Charges. If Borrowers shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of any of the Condominium Documents on the part of the Borrower owning the Unit to be performed or observed, then, after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement and without waiving or releasing Borrowers from any of their obligations hereunder, Lender shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Condominium Documents on the part of the Borrower owning the Unit, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of Borrowers. Lender and any person designated as Lender’s agent by Lender shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to enter upon the Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice and from time to time for the purpose of taking any such action. If Borrowers fail to pay the Common Charges when due, Lender may pay the same and such amounts shall be added to the
59
Debt and shall bear interest at the Default Rate until paid. All sums so paid and expended by Lender and the interest thereon shall be secured by the Mortgage.
(c) Without Lender’s prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, no Borrower shall (i) modify, change, supplement, alter, amend in any material respect or terminate any of the Condominium Documents, (ii) waive or release any rights thereunder or (iii) consent to any material increase in its obligations thereunder. Borrowers hereby assign to Lender, as further security for the payment of the Debt and for the performance and observance of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage and this Agreement, all of the rights, privileges and prerogatives of any Borrower, to modify, change, supplement, alter, amend or terminate any of the Condominium Documents as provided above and any modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment or termination of any of the Condominium Documents in violation of the foregoing without the prior consent of Lender shall be void and of no force and effect. Borrowers may make any immaterial modification, change, supplement, alteration, or amendment to the Condominium Documents without Lender’s consent unless such an immaterial modification, change, supplement, alteration, amendment would reasonably be expected to (A) materially adversely affect any Borrower or any Property, or any Borrower’s business, properties, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, (B) adversely affect the rights of Lender to foreclose the Lien of the Mortgage or exercise its other rights under the Loan Documents or (C) otherwise impair the Lien of the Mortgage. The Condominium shall not be terminated without Lender’s prior written consent (whether as a result of a Casualty, Condemnation or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this clause (c), Borrowers may obtain an amendment to the Quincy at Fourteenth Condominium Bylaws in the same form and substance attached hereto as Schedule X (the “Permitted Condo Amendment”), provided Lender shall have determined that each of the following conditions are satisfied: (A) no Event of Default shall be continuing; (B) the representations and warranties made by Borrowers and Guarantors in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Condominium shall remain true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such Permitted Condo Amendment; (C) to the extent the legal description attached to the applicable Mortgage, Assignment of Leases and the UCC financing statements (collectively, the “DC Recordable Documents”) reference the Condominium Documents, Borrower shall submit to Lender for its approval not less than twenty (20) days prior to the date of such Permitted Condo Amendment, (1) amendments to each of the DC Recordable Documents with a revised legal description reflecting the Permitted Condo Amendment, (2) (x) an ALTA 11-06 Endorsement (Mortgage Modification) and (y) a blank endorsement amending the applicable Title Insurance Policy so that its coverage shall relate to the date of recording of the amended Mortgage instead of the date of the Title Insurance Policy (the “Date Down Endorsement”), which endorsements shall be issued by the title company that issued the Title Insurance Policy insuring the lien of the existing Mortgage with respect to the DC Property (“Existing Title Company”). The Date Down Endorsement shall confirm that the Mortgage, as amended, creates a valid first lien on the DC Property encumbered thereby, free and clear of all exceptions from coverage other than Permitted Encumbrances and standard exceptions and exclusions from coverage (as modified by the terms of any endorsements) substantially similar to those accepted by Lender in connection with the Title Insurance Policy for the existing Mortgage and (3) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that such documentation delivered pursuant to this clause (C) is in compliance with all Legal Requirements and all requirements of the Loan Documents; (D) Borrowers shall reimburse Lender and Servicer for costs and expenses incurred by Lender and Servicer in connection with such Permitted Condo Amendment and Borrower shall have paid, in
60
connection with the execution and recording of the amended DC Recordable Documents, (1) all recording charges, filing fees, taxes or other expenses payable in connection therewith and (2) to an Servicer, the then current fee being assessed by such Servicer(s) to effect such execution and recordation of the amended DC Recordable Documents, not to exceed the fee customarily being assessed by Servicers to borrowers for similar services; and (E) Borrowers shall deliver to Lender (1) a fully executed copy of the Permitted Condo Amendment within ten (10) days following the date of the Permitted Condo Amendment and (2) following recordation of the amended DC Recordable Documents, copies of such recorded documents.
(d) In each and every case in which, under the provisions of the Condominium Documents, the consent or the vote of the “Unit Owners” or Board of Directors (as defined below) is required, no Borrower shall vote or give such consent or allow the members on the Board of Directors appointed by such Borrower to vote or give such consent, in any manner that could impair the Lien of any Mortgage or the security therefor without, in each and every case, the prior written consent of Lender.
(e) Borrowers shall cause each of the members of the Board of Directors appointed by such Borrower to execute and deliver to Lender an undated conditional resignation (a “Conditional Resignation”) of each such member, whereby each such member tenders his/her resignation from the Board of Directors and instructs the Board of Directors that the successor members shall be designated by Lender, effective upon written notice from Lender to the Board of Directors that an Event of Default has occurred; it being understood and agreed to that such notice from the Lender shall be conclusive evidence that an Event of Default has occurred and the Board of Directors may rely on such notice from Lender without any further inquiry or investigation. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Loan, Lender may, by notice to Borrowers, tender any Conditional Resignation, now or hereafter delivered in connection with the Loan to the Board of Directors, whereupon the resignation of any such member shall become effective and successor members to the Board of Directors shall be designated by Lender.
(f) No Borrower shall remove or replace any of the members of the Board of Directors appointed by such Borrower without the prior consent of Lender, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that such consent may be conditioned upon the delivery of a Conditional Resignation by such replacement member.

In addition, each Borrower shall obtain: (y) if any portion of the Improvements or Personal Property is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated special flood hazard area (“SFHA”), flood hazard insurance for all such Improvements and/or Personal Property located in the SFHA in an amount equal to the (1) the maximum amount of building and, if applicable, contents insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended (the “Flood Insurance Acts”) plus (2) such additional coverage as Lender shall require, subject to a deductible not to exceed an amount equal to the maximum available through the Flood Insurance Acts; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (provided that Lender shall not require earthquake insurance unless such Property is located in an area with a high degree of seismic activity and a Probable Maximum Loss (“PML”) or Scenario Expected Loss (“SEL”) of greater than 20%), provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);

The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrowers’ reasonable estimate of the Gross Revenue from such Property (less non-continuing expenses) for the succeeding twelve (12) month period. All proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the Obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrowers of its Obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Note and the other Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;
(iv) at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if such Property coverage form does not otherwise apply, (A) commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance covering claims related to the constructions, repairs or alterations being made which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policy required as set forth in Section 5.1.1(a); and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsection (i) above, (3) including permission to occupy such Property, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;
(v) workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the state in which such Property is located, and employer’s liability insurance with limits which are required from time to time by Lender in respect of any work or operations on or about such Property, or in connection with such Property or its operation (if applicable);

(xi) upon sixty (60) days notice, such other reasonable insurance and in such reasonable amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to such Property located in or around the region in which such Property is located.
(b) All insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to form and substance, including insurance companies, amounts, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance evidencing the Policies (and, upon the written request of Lender, copies of such Policies) accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by each Borrower to Lender. Borrower shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrower of any modification, reduction or cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.
(c) Any blanket insurance Policy shall be subject to Lender approval and shall otherwise provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Properties in compliance with the provisions of Section 5.1.1(a) (any such blanket policy, an “Acceptable Blanket Policy”). To the extent that the Policies are maintained pursuant to an Acceptable Blanket Policy that covers more than one location within a one thousand foot radius of any Property (the “Radius”), the limits of such Acceptable Blanket Policy must be sufficient to maintain coverage as set forth in Section 5.1.1(a) for each Property and any and all other locations combined within the Radius that are covered by such blanket policy calculated on a total insured value basis.
(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by Section 5.1.1(a), shall name the applicable Borrower as a named insured and, with respect to Policies of liability insurance except for the Policies referenced in Section 5.1.1(a)(v) and (viii), shall name the applicable Borrower as a named insured and Lender and its successors and/or assigns as additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of Policies of property insurance, including but not limited to special form/all-risk, boiler and machinery, terrorism, windstorm, flood, rental loss and/or business interruption and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender unless below the threshold for such Borrower to handle such claim without
64
Lender intervention as provided in Section 5.2 below. Additionally, if any Borrower obtains property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by Section 5.1.1(a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.
(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in Section 5.1.1(a) shall:
(i) with respect to the Policies of property insurance, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) no act or negligence of any Borrower, or anyone acting for any Borrower, or of any Tenant or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned, (2) the Policies shall not be cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of premium and (3) the issuer(s) of the Policies shall give written notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew the Policies prior to its expiration;
(ii) with respect to all Policies of liability insurance, if obtainable by a Borrower using commercially reasonable efforts, contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that, (1) the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an additional insured (other than in the case of non-payment in which case only ten days prior notice, or the shortest time allowed by applicable Legal Requirement (whichever is longer), will be required) and shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice and (2) the issuers thereof shall give notice to Lender if the issuers elect not to renew such Policies prior to its expiration. If the issuers cannot or will not provide notice, the applicable Borrower shall be obligated to provide such notice; and
(iii) not contain any clause or provision that would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.
(f) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, without notice to the applicable Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the applicable Property, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate and all premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgages and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.
(g) In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgages or other transfer of title to the Properties in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Properties and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(h) The property insurance, commercial general liability, umbrella liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance required under
65
Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) above shall cover perils of terrorism and acts of terrorism (or at least not specifically exclude same) and Borrowers shall maintain property insurance, commercial general liability, umbrella liability insurance and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance for loss resulting from perils and acts of terrorism on terms (including amounts and deductibles) consistent with those required under Sections 5.1.1(a)(i), (ii), (iii) and (vii) above (or at least not specifically excluding same) at all times during the term of the Loan. For so long as TRIPRA is in effect and continues to cover both foreign and domestic acts, Lender shall accept terrorism insurance with coverage against acts which are “certified” within the meaning of TRIPRA.
(i) Notwithstanding anything in subsection (a)(i) or (h) above to the contrary, each Borrower shall be required to obtain and maintain coverage in its property insurance Policy (or by a separate Policy) against loss or damage by terrorist acts in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under subsection (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. In the event that such coverage with respect to terrorist acts is not included as part of the “all risk” property policy required by subsection (a)(i) above, such Borrower shall, nevertheless be required to obtain coverage for terrorism (as standalone coverage) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost” of such Property plus the rental loss and/or business interruption coverage under subsection (a)(iii) above; provided that such coverage is available. Borrowers shall obtain the coverage required under this clause (i) from a carrier which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in Section 5.1.2 below (a “Qualified Carrier”) or in the event that such coverage is not available from a Qualified Carrier, Borrowers shall obtain such coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such coverage.
5.1.2 Insurance Company. All Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1.1: (i) shall be issued by companies authorized or licensed to do business in the state where the Property is located, with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of (1) “A” or better by S&P and (2) “A:X” or better in the current Best’s Insurance Reports; (ii) shall, with respect to all property insurance policies and rental loss and/or business interruption insurance policies, contain a Standard Mortgagee Clause/Lender’s Loss Payable Endorsement, or their equivalents, naming Lender as the person to whom all payments made by such insurance company shall be paid; (iii) shall contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (iv) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing (A) that no Borrower, Lender or any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies and (B) in addition to complying with any other requirements expressly set forth in Section 5.1 for a deductible per loss of an amount not more than that which is customarily maintained by prudent owners of properties with a standard of operation and maintenance comparable to and in the general vicinity of such Property, but in no event in excess of an amount reasonably acceptable to Lender; and (v) shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Lender and shall be approved by Lender as to amounts, form, risk coverage, deductibles, loss payees and insureds. In addition to the insurance coverages described in Section 5.1.1 above, Borrowers shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender in order to protect its interests. Complete copies of the Policies shall be delivered to Lender at the address below (or to such other address or Person as Lender shall designate from time to time by notice to Borrowers) on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies:

Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices.

If, at any time and from time to time during the Loan, the insurance policies maintained by the Condominium Association on the Common Elements do not fully comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1 or are not otherwise acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, then Borrowers shall promptly notify Lender in writing and Borrowers shall promptly, at their sole cost and expense, either procure and maintain or cause the Condominium Association to procure and maintain either (x) “primary” insurance coverage in the event that the Condominium Association does not provide the applicable insurance coverage required in this Section 5.1 or (y) “excess and contingent” insurance coverage over and above any other valid and collectible coverage then in existence, in the event that the Condominium Association does not have the sufficient insurance coverage required under Section 5.1, as shall be necessary to bring such insurance coverage into full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of this Section 5.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it shall not be deemed an Event of Default (and Borrowers shall not be required to maintain the insurance coverage specified in clauses (x) or (y) above) in the event the insurance policies maintained by the Condominium Association on the Common Elements do not fully comply with the requirements set forth in this Section 5.1 so long as Lender determines that such insurance is acceptable notwithstanding such failure in its sole and absolute discretion.
Section 5.2 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrowers shall give prompt notice thereof to Lender. Following the occurrence of a Casualty, Borrowers, regardless of whether insurance proceeds are available, shall promptly proceed to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the affected Property in accordance with Legal Requirements to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to such damage or destruction and exercise Borrowers’ rights under the Condominium Documents to cause the Condo Association to restore the common elements of the Condominium, as applicable. Lender may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrowers. In addition, Lender may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies (and shall approve any final settlement) (i) if an Event of Default is continuing or (ii) with respect to any Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing the Restoration are equal to or greater than, with respect to the affected Property, two percent (2%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property, and Borrowers shall deliver to Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation. Except as
67
set forth in the foregoing sentence, any Insurance Proceeds in connection with any Casualty (whether or not Lender elects to settle and adjust the claim or Borrowers settle such claim) shall be due and payable solely to Lender and held by Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event Borrowers or any party other than Lender is a payee on any check representing Insurance Proceeds with respect to any Casualty, Borrowers shall immediately endorse, and cause all such third parties to endorse, such check payable to the order of Lender. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, to endorse any such check payable to the order of Lender. Each Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all liability with respect to the settlement and adjustment by Lender of any claims in respect of any Casualty.
Section 5.3 Condemnation. Borrowers shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or threatened commencement of any proceeding for the Condemnation of all or any portion of any Property and shall deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings to the extent of Borrowers’ rights to do so as owners of the Properties and as the owner of the Unit, and Borrowers shall from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by it to permit such participation. Borrowers shall, to the extent of Borrowers’ rights to do so as owners of the Properties and as the owner of the Unit, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrowers shall continue to pay the Debt at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Note and in this Agreement and the Debt shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or discharge of the Debt. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the condemning authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any portion thereof is taken by a condemning authority, Borrowers shall, to the extent of Borrowers’ rights to do so as owners of the Properties and as the owner of the Unit, promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of such Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 5.4, whether or not an Award is available to pay the costs of such Restoration. If such Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to pay the Debt.
Section 5.4 Restoration. The following provisions shall apply in connection with the Restoration:
(a) If the Net Proceeds shall be less than, with respect to the affected Property, one percent (1%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property, and provided no Event of Default is continuing, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed by Lender to Borrowers upon receipt, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4(b)(i) are met and Borrowers deliver to Lender a written undertaking to expeditiously commence and to satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
68
(b) If the Net Proceeds are equal to or greater than, with respect to the affected Property, one percent (1%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property, the Net Proceeds will be held by Lender and Lender shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4. The term “Net Proceeds” shall mean: (i) the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender pursuant to Section 5.1.1(a)(i), (iii), (iv), and (vi) and Section 5.1.1(h) as a result of such damage or destruction, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Insurance Proceeds”), or (ii) the net amount of the Award, after deduction of its reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable counsel fees), if any, in collecting same (“Condemnation Proceeds”), whichever the case may be.
(i) The Net Proceeds shall be made available to Borrowers for Restoration upon the determination of Lender, in its sole but reasonable discretion, that the following conditions are met:
(A) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
(B) (1) in the event the Net Proceeds are Insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements on the affected Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (2) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Proceeds, less than ten percent (10%) of (i) the Unit and Common Elements allocable thereto are taken, or (ii) the land constituting the affected Property is taken, and such land is located along the perimeter or periphery of such Property, and no portion of the Improvements is located on such land;
(C) Leases demising in the aggregate a percentage amount equal to or greater than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total rentable space in the affected Property which has been demised under executed and delivered Leases in effect as of the date of the occurrence of such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, shall remain in full force and effect during and after the completion of the Restoration without abatement of rent beyond the time required for Restoration, notwithstanding the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, and will make all necessary repairs and restorations thereto that are not being made by Borrowers as part of the Restoration at their sole cost and expense;
(D) Borrowers shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than sixty (60) days after such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;
(E) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that any operating deficits, including all scheduled payments of principal and interest under the Note, which will be incurred with respect to the affected Property as a result of the occurrence of any such Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, will be covered out of (1) the Net Proceeds, (2) the insurance coverage
69
referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii), if applicable, or (3) by other funds of Borrowers;
(F) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the (x) Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) the date six (6) months prior to the Stated Maturity Date, (2) the earliest date required for such completion under the terms of any Lease, (3) such time as may be required under applicable Legal Requirements or (4) six (6) months prior to the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 5.1.1(a)(iii) and (y) the affected Property can be restored to the affected Property’s pre-existing condition and utility as existed immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation, and to an economic unit not less valuable and not less useful than the same was immediately prior to the Casualty or Condemnation;
(G) Lender shall be reasonably satisfied that the Restoration will be completed in accordance with any requirements under the Condominium Documents, as applicable;
(H) the affected Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable Legal Requirements;

(J) the Restoration DSCR, after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or greater than 1.37:1.00;
(K) the Loan to Value Ratio after giving effect to the Restoration, shall be equal to or less than seventy-five percent (75%);
(L) Borrowers shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Lender a signed detailed budget approved in writing by Borrowers’ architect or engineer stating the entire cost of completing the Restoration, which budget shall be reasonably acceptable to Lender; and
(M) the Net Proceeds together with any cash or cash equivalent deposited by Borrowers with Lender are sufficient in Lender’s reasonable discretion to cover the cost of the Restoration.
(ii) The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender in the Casualty and Condemnation Account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), shall constitute additional security for the Debt and other obligations under the Loan Documents. The Net Proceeds shall be promptly disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrowers from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that (A) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (B) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or materialman’s
70
liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the affected Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Lender by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the affected Property.
(iii) All plans and specifications required in connection with the Restoration shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender and an independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the Casualty Consultant), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. Lender shall have the use of the plans and specifications and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to the approval of Lender and the Casualty Consultant, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed. All out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Borrowers.
(iv) In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term Casualty Retainage shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been completed. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 5.4(b), be less than the amount actually held back by Borrowers from contractors, subcontractors and materialmen engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b) and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or materialman engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that such contractor, subcontractor or materialman has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of such contractor’s, subcontractor’s or materialman’s contract, (ii) the contractor, subcontractor or materialman delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the title company issuing the Title Insurance Policy for the affected Property, and (iii) Lender receives an endorsement to the Title Insurance Policy for the affected Property insuring the continued priority of the Lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by
71
Lender, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or materialman.
(v) Lender shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than once every calendar month.
(vi) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full
the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Borrowers shall deposit the deficiency (the Net Proceeds Deficiency) with Lender (for deposit into the Casualty and Condemnation Account) before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be deposited by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 5.4(b) shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
(vii) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.4(b), and the receipt by Lender of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Lender to Borrowers, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions of this Section 5.4, if the Loan is included in a REMIC Trust and, immediately following a release of any portion of the Lien of any Mortgage following a Casualty or Condemnation (but taking into account any proposed Restoration of the remaining Property), the ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan to the value of the remaining Property is greater than 125% (such value to be determined, in Lender’s sole but reasonable discretion, by any commercially reasonable method permitted to a REMIC Trust; and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any), the Outstanding Principal Balance must be paid down by an amount equal to the least of the following amounts: (i) the net Award (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender) or the net Insurance Proceeds (after payment of Lender’s costs and expenses and any other fees and expenses that have been approved by Lender), as the case may be, or (ii) a qualified amount as that term is defined in the IRS Revenue Procedure 2010-30, as the same may be amended, replaced, supplemented or modified from time to time, unless Lender receives an opinion of counsel that if such amount is not paid, the applicable Securitization will not fail to maintain its status as a REMIC Trust as a result of the related release of such portion of the Lien of such Mortgage. If and to the extent the preceding sentence applies, only such amount of the net Award or net Insurance Proceeds (as applicable), if any, in excess of the amount required to pay down the principal balance of the Loan may be released for purposes of Restoration or released to Borrowers as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 5.4.
72
(d) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Borrowers as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(vii) may be retained and applied by Lender in accordance with Section 2.4.4 hereof toward the payment of the Debt whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Lender, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Borrowers for such purposes as Lender shall approve, in its discretion. Additionally, throughout the term of the Loan if an Event of Default is continuing, then Borrowers shall pay to Lender, with respect to any payment of the Debt pursuant to this Section 5.4(d), an additional amount equal to the Prepayment Fee and any applicable Liquidated Damages Amount; provided, however, that if an Event of Default is not continuing, then no Prepayment Fee or Liquidated Damages Amount shall be payable.
(e) In the event of foreclosure of any Mortgage, or other transfer of title to any Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Debt all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning such Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if in connection with a Casualty any insurance company makes a payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy that Borrowers propose be treated as business or rental interruption insurance, then, notwithstanding any designation (or lack of designation) by the insurance company as to the purpose of such payment, as between Lender and Borrowers, such payment shall not be treated as business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds unless Borrowers (i) have demonstrated to Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the remaining Net Proceeds that have been received from the property insurance companies are sufficient to pay 100% of the cost of the Restoration or, if such Net Proceeds are to be applied to repay the Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof, that such remaining Net Proceeds will be sufficient to satisfy the Obligations in full or (ii) to the extent Borrowers are not able to satisfy Lender as to the sufficiency of the remaining funds to pay 100% of the Restoration or to satisfy the Obligations in full prior to distribution of Net Proceeds, Borrowers have agreed to fund any shortfall from funds other than from Gross Revenues or borrowed funds and have provided such security as Lender may reasonably require to insure payment of such shortfalls. To the extent any payment under a property or business or rental interruption insurance Policy is treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (f), such funds shall be deposited into the Casualty and Condemnation Account. Provided that no Event of Default then exists, Insurance Proceeds treated as business or rental interruption insurance in accordance with this paragraph (f) (to the extent of available funds) shall be (A) first applied by Lender, on each Monthly Payment Date, to pay for Debt Service, deposits of Reserve Funds and payments of Monthly Operating Expense Budgeted Amount and Approved Extraordinary Operating Expenses, in each case as approved by Lender, actually incurred (collectively, the Approved Monthly BI Expenses) for such month pursuant to, and in the priorities set forth in, Section 6.13.1, and (B) second, to the extent that Lender determines that the amount of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds then remaining in the Casualty and Condemnation Account is sufficient to pay for all future Approved Monthly BI Expenses through the completion of the subject Restoration and stabilization of the subject Property, disbursed by Lender to Borrowers in an aggregate amount under this clause (B) not to exceed the Approved Monthly BI Expenses actually incurred and paid for by Borrowers from the date of the applicable Casualty to the date
73
of the first installment of business or rental interruption Insurance Proceeds advanced by the applicable insurance company (as evidenced by supporting documentation by Borrowers that is acceptable to Lender). Provided no Trigger Period then exists, all remaining business or rental interruption insurance proceeds shall be disbursed to Borrowers upon the final completion of the subject Restoration and the recommencement of full unabated rent being paid by the Tenants under the Leases required to remain in place pursuant to Section 5.4(b)(i)(C).
Section 5.5 Condominium Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the foregoing Sections 5.2 through 5.4, to the extent the Condominium Documents require that all or any portion of any Proceeds or Awards be paid to the Board of Directors and that the Board of Directors hold or otherwise control such Proceeds or Awards and complete a Restoration, then the obligations of Borrowers to deliver (or cause to be delivered) Proceeds or Awards to Lender and to complete such Restoration shall be deemed satisfied provided that: (i) the Borrower owning the Unit exercises its rights as owner of the Unit (through voting, appointment of members or the Board of Directors and any rights otherwise available to Borrower under the Condominium Documents) to cause the Board of Directors to comply with its obligations regarding the Restoration; (ii) Borrowers apply any Proceeds or Awards otherwise received by Borrowers in accordance with this Article 5 and completes the Restoration of any portions of the Property that the Board of Directors is not required to restore; and (iii) Borrowers comply with any requirements applicable to the Borrower owning the Unit under the Condominium Documents in order to enable Lender to obtain all rights to which mortgagees of commercial units in the Condominium are entitled under the Condominium Documents with respect to Proceeds and Awards and other matters described in this Article 5; provided, however, that if the Condominium Documents are hereafter terminated, the provisions of this Section 5.5 shall automatically cease to be of any force or effect. Nothing in this Section 5.5 shall preclude Borrowers’ payment obligations (if any) under Section 5.4(c) above.
Article 6
CASH MANAGEMENT AND RESERVE FUNDS
Section 6.1 Cash Management Arrangements. Each Borrower shall cause all Rents relating to its Property to be transmitted directly by non-residential Tenants of such Property into a trust account (the Clearing Account) established and maintained by Borrowers at an Eligible Institution selected by Borrowers and reasonably approved by Lender (the Clearing Bank) as more fully described in the Clearing Account Agreement. Borrower shall not terminate any related lockbox agreement and/or direct Clearing Bank pursuant to any related lockbox agreement to transfer any Gross Revenues deposited into the lockbox into any account other than the Clearing Account (the Lockbox Obligations). To the extent Borrowers receive notice from the Clearing Bank that it intends to terminate the Clearing Account Agreement, Borrowers shall establish a new Clearing Account at an Eligible Institution reasonably approved by Lender and enter into a new clearing account agreement that is substantially similar to then-existing Clearing Account Agreement (with such changes as are reasonably approved by Lender) on or prior to the date such then-existing Clearing Account Agreement is terminated. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if Borrowers or Manager receive any Gross Revenue from the Properties, then (i) such amounts shall be deemed to be collateral for the Obligations and shall be held in trust for the benefit, and as the property, of Lender, (ii) such amounts shall not be commingled with any other funds or property of Borrowers or Manager, and (iii) each Borrower or Manager shall
74
deposit such amounts in the Clearing Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Funds deposited into the Clearing Account shall be swept by the Clearing Bank on a daily basis into Borrowers’ operating account at the Clearing Bank, unless a Trigger Period is continuing, in which event such funds shall be swept on a daily basis into the Deposit Account and applied and disbursed in accordance with this Agreement and the Cash Management Agreement. Funds in the Deposit Account that are invested shall be invested in Permitted Investments, as more particularly set forth in the Cash Management Agreement. Lender may also establish subaccounts of the Deposit Account which shall at all times be Eligible Accounts (and may be ledger or book entry accounts and not actual accounts) (such subaccounts are referred to herein as Accounts). The Deposit Account and all other Accounts will be under the sole control and dominion of Lender, and no Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal therefrom. Borrowers shall pay for all expenses of opening and maintaining all of the above accounts.
Section 6.2 Required Repairs Funds.
6.2.1 Deposit of Required Repairs Funds. Borrowers shall perform the repairs and other work at the Properties as set forth on Schedule II (such repairs and other work hereinafter referred to as Required Repairs) and shall complete each of the Required Repairs on or before the respective deadline for each repair as set forth on Schedule II, which may be extended at Lender’s option if diligently pursued. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall deposit with or on behalf of Lender the amount set forth on such Schedule II as the estimated cost to complete the Required Repairs multiplied by 125% (the Required Repairs Funds), which Required Repairs Funds shall be transferred by Deposit Bank into an Account (the Required Repairs Account).
6.2.2 Release of Required Repairs Funds. Provided no Event of Default is continuing, Lender shall direct Servicer to disburse Required Repairs Funds to Borrowers out of the Required Repairs Account, within ten (10) days after the delivery by Borrowers to Lender of a request therefor (but not more often than once per month), in increments of at least $10,000 (or a lesser amount if the total amount in the Required Repairs Account is less than $10,000, in which case only one disbursement of the amount remaining in the account shall be made) provided that: (i) such disbursement is for Required Repairs; (ii) the request for disbursement is accompanied by (A) an Officer’s Certificate from Borrowers (1) stating that the items to be funded by the requested disbursement are for Required Repairs, and a description thereof, (2) stating that all Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements, (3) identifying each Person that supplied materials or labor in connection with the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement, (4) stating that each such Person has been paid in full or will be paid in full upon such disbursement, or if such payment is a progress payment, that such payment represents full payment to such Person, less any applicable retention amount, for work completed through the date of the relevant invoice from such Person, (5) stating that the Required Repairs (or relevant portion thereof) to be funded have not been the subject of a previous disbursement, (6) stating that all previous disbursements of Required Repair Funds have been used to pay the previously identified Required Repairs, and (7) stating that all outstanding trade payables (other than those to be paid from the requested disbursement or those constituting Permitted Indebtedness) have been paid in full other than any applicable retention amount, (B) as to any completed Required Repair a copy of any license, permit or other approval by any Governmental Authority required, if any, in connection with the Required Repairs and not previously delivered to Lender, (C) copies of appropriate lien waivers (or
75
conditional lien waivers) or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender, (D) at Lender’s option, a title search for the applicable Property indicating that such Property is free from all Liens, claims and other encumbrances not previously approved by Lender, and (E) such other evidence as Lender shall reasonably request to demonstrate that the Required Repairs to be funded by the requested disbursement have been completed (or completed to the extent of the requested payment) and are paid for or will be paid upon such disbursement to Borrowers. If such disbursement request is for $30,000 or more, Lender shall have (if it desires) verified (by an inspection conducted at Borrowers’ expense) performance of the work associated with such Required Repairs. Upon Borrowers’ completion of all Required Repairs in accordance with this Section 6.2, Lender shall promptly direct Servicer to release any remaining Required Repairs Funds, if any, in the Required Repairs Account to Borrowers.
Section 6.3 Tax Funds.
6.3.1 Deposits of Tax Funds. Borrowers shall deposit with Lender (i) on the Closing Date, an amount equal to $19,257.02 and (ii) on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Real Estate Taxes that Lender estimates will be payable during the next ensuing twelve (12) months (initially, $4,814.25), in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Real Estate Taxes at least thirty (30) days prior to their respective due dates, which amounts shall be transferred into an Account (the Tax Account). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Tax Account pursuant to this Section 6.3.1 are referred to herein as the Tax Funds. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Tax Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Real Estate Taxes, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for Real Estate Taxes shall be increased by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least ten (10) days prior to the respective due dates for the Real Estate Taxes; provided, that if Borrowers receive notice of any deficiency after the date that is ten (10) days prior to the date that Real Estate Taxes are due, Borrowers will deposit with or on behalf of Lender such amount within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of such notice.
6.3.2 Release of Tax Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Tax Funds in the Tax Account to payments of Real Estate Taxes. In making any payment relating to Real Estate Taxes, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the appropriate public office (with respect to Real Estate Taxes) without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate or into the validity of any tax, assessment, sale, forfeiture, tax lien or title or claim thereof. If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Real Estate Taxes and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Tax Funds. Any Tax Funds remaining in the Tax Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrowers.
Section 6.4 Insurance Funds.
6.4.1 Deposits of Insurance Funds. Borrowers shall deposit with or on behalf of Lender on each Monthly Payment Date, an amount equal to one-twelfth of the Insurance Premiums that Lender estimates will be payable for the renewal of the coverage afforded by the Policies upon the expiration thereof, in order to accumulate sufficient funds to pay all such Insurance Premiums at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Policies, which
76
amounts shall be transferred into an Account established at Deposit Bank to hold such funds (the Insurance Account). Amounts deposited from time to time into the Insurance Account pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 are referred to herein as the Insurance Funds. If at any time Lender reasonably determines that the Insurance Funds will not be sufficient to pay the Insurance Premiums, Lender shall notify Borrowers of such determination and the monthly deposits for Insurance Premiums shall be increased by the amount that Lender reasonably estimates is sufficient to make up the deficiency at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration of the Policies. For the avoidance of doubt, if deposits into the Insurance Account are no longer suspended pursuant to Section 6.4.3, Borrower shall be required to resume making deposits for Insurance Premiums with respect to any Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1 that are not maintained by the Condo Association in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof. Borrower shall not be required to make deposits for Insurance Premiums pursuant to this Section 6.4.1 with respect to any Policies maintained by the Condo Association in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof.
6.4.2 Release of Insurance Funds. Provided no Event of Default shall exist and remain uncured, Lender shall direct Servicer to apply Insurance Funds in the Insurance Account to the timely payment of Insurance Premiums, provided Borrowers shall furnish Lender with all bills, invoices and statements for the Insurance Premiums for which such funds are required at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such charges first become payable. In making any payment relating to Insurance Premiums, Lender may do so according to any bill, statement or estimate procured from the insurer or its agent, without inquiry into the accuracy of such bill, statement or estimate. If the amount of the Insurance Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Insurance Premiums and provided that no Trigger Period exists, Lender shall, in its sole discretion, return any excess to Borrowers or credit such excess against future payments to be made to the Insurance Funds. Any Insurance Funds remaining in the Insurance Account after the Obligations have been paid in full shall be promptly returned to Borrowers.
6.4.3 Acceptable Blanket Policy. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 6.4.1, in the event that an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to all of the Policies required pursuant to Section 5.1, deposits into the Insurance Account required for Insurance Premiums pursuant to Section 6.4.1 above shall be suspended to the extent that Insurance Premiums relate to such Acceptable Blanket Policy. As of the date hereof, an Acceptable Blanket Policy is in effect with respect to the Policies required as of the Closing Date pursuant to Section 5.1 that are not maintained by the Condo Association in accordance with Section 5.1 hereof.
Section 6.5 Capital Expenditure Funds.
6.5.1 Deposits of Capital Expenditure Funds.

Cash Management Accounts shall not constitute trust funds and may be commingled with other monies held by Lender. All interest which accrues on the funds in any Account shall accrue for the benefit of Lender and shall be taxable to Borrowers. Upon repayment in full of the Debt, all remaining funds in the Accounts, if any, shall be promptly disbursed to Borrowers.

Section 8.2 Remedies.
8.2.1 Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above) and at any time thereafter, Lender may, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity, take such action, without notice or demand (and Borrowers hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand), that Lender deems advisable to protect and enforce its rights against any or all Borrowers and in and to the Properties, including declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents against Borrowers and the Properties, including all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default described in clauses (vii), (viii) or (ix) of Section 8.1 above, the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become due and payable in full, without notice or demand, and Borrowers hereby expressly waive any such notice or demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.
8.2.2 Remedies Cumulative. During the continuance of an Event of Default, all or any one or more of the rights, powers, privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrowers under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrowers or at law or in equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any of the Obligations shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any of the Loan Documents with respect to the Properties. The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may have against any Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued independently, singly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents or by equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if an Event of Default is continuing (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all Liens and other rights, remedies or privileges
94
provided to Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against the Properties and the Mortgages have been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in satisfaction of the Obligations or the Obligations have been paid in full. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to any Borrower shall not be construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by such Borrower or to impair any remedy, right or power consequent thereon.
8.2.3 Severance.
(a) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose any Mortgage in any manner and for any amounts secured by such Mortgage then due and payable as determined by Lender in its sole discretion, including the following circumstances: (i) in the event Borrowers default beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose any Mortgage to recover such delinquent payments, or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose any Mortgage to recover so much of the principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by any Mortgage as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, each Property shall remain subject to a Mortgage to secure payment of the sums secured by such Mortgage and not previously recovered.
(b) During the continuance of an Event of Default, Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Each Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, each Borrower ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) Business Days after notice has been given to such Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such power.
(c) During the continuance of an Event of Default, any amounts recovered from the Properties or any other collateral for the Loan after an Event of Default may be applied by Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal of the Loan and/or any other amounts due under the Loan Documents, in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole discretion shall determine.
8.2.4 Lender’s Right to Perform. If any Borrower fails to perform any covenant or obligation contained herein and such failure shall continue for a period of five (5) Business Days after such Borrower’s receipt of written notice thereof from Lender, without in any way limiting
95
Lender’s right to exercise any of its rights, powers or remedies as provided hereunder, or under any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or obligation, and all out-of-pocket costs, out-of-pocket expenses, liabilities, penalties and fines of Lender incurred or paid in connection therewith shall be payable by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and if not paid shall be added to the Obligations (and to the extent permitted under applicable laws, secured by the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents) and shall bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to send notice to any Borrower of any such failure.

Borrowers’ liability under this paragraph will be limited to Liability that arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of Borrowers in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of Borrowers, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to the Properties. This indemnification provision will be in addition to any liability which Borrowers may otherwise have. Borrowers acknowledge and agree that any Person that is included in the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group that is not a direct party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement with respect to this Section 9.2(b). Within five (5) Business Days after Lender’s written request, Borrowers and Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Lender a separate indemnification and reimbursement agreement in favor of the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group in form and substance consistent with the indemnification and reimbursement obligations of Borrowers under this Section 9.2(b).
(c) In connection with any Exchange Act Filing or other reports containing comparable information that is required to be made “available” to holders of the Securities under Regulation AB or applicable Legal Requirements, Borrowers agree to (i) indemnify Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group for Liabilities to which Lender, the Lender
100
Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group may become subject insofar as the Liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, an alleged untrue statement or alleged omission or an untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon, and in conformity with, information furnished to Lender by or on behalf of any Borrower in connection with the preparation of the Disclosure Document or in connection with the underwriting or closing of the Loan, including financial statements of any Borrower, operating statements and rent rolls with respect to any Property, and (ii) reimburse Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by Lender, the Lender Group, the Issuer and/or the Underwriter Group in connection with defending or investigating the Liabilities.
(d) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9.2 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 9.2, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which the indemnifying party may have to any indemnified party hereunder except to the extent that failure to notify causes prejudice to the indemnifying party. In the event that any action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, jointly with any other indemnifying party, to participate therein and, to the extent that it (or they) may elect by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. After notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 9.2(d), such indemnifying party shall not pay for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there are any legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party at the cost of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel unless an indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any other indemnified party. Without the prior written consent of Lender (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), no indemnifying party shall settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or not any indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such claim, action, suit or proceeding) unless the indemnifying party shall have given Lender reasonable prior written notice thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of each indemnified party hereunder from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceedings, and such settlement requires no statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party.
(e) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnity agreement provided for in Section 9.2(b) or (c) is for any reason held to be unenforceable as to an indemnified party in respect of any Liabilities (or action in respect
101
thereof) referred to therein which would otherwise be indemnifiable under Section 9.2(b) or (c), the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Liabilities (or action in respect thereof); provided, however, that no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, the following factors shall be considered: (i) the Issuer’s and applicable Borrower’s relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted; (ii) the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission; and (iii) any other equitable considerations appropriate in the circumstances. Lender and Borrowers hereby agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation.
(f) The liabilities and obligations of both Borrowers and Lender under this Section 9.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction and discharge of the Debt.
Section 9.3 Severance.
9.3.1 Severance Documentation. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any sale, participation or Securitization of all or any portion of the Loan), to require Borrowers to execute and deliver “component” notes and/or modify the Loan in order to create one or more senior and subordinate notes (i.e., an A/B or A/B/C structure) and/or one or more additional components of the Note or Notes (including the implementation of one or more New Mezzanine Loans (in accordance with Section 9.3.2 below)), reduce the number of components of the Note or Notes, revise the interest rate for each component, reallocate the principal balances of the Notes and/or the components, increase or decrease the monthly debt service payments for each component or eliminate the component structure and/or the multiple note structure of the Loan (including the elimination of the related allocations of principal and interest payments), provided that the Outstanding Principal Balance of all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification and the weighted average of the interest rates for all components immediately after the effective date of such modification equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification. At Lender’s election, each note comprising the Loan may be subject to one or more Securitizations. Lender shall have the right to modify the Note and/or Notes and any components in accordance with this Section 9.3 and, provided that such modification shall comply with the terms of this Section 9.3, it shall become immediately effective.
9.3.2 New Mezzanine Loan Option. Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right, at any time (whether prior to or after any Secondary Market Transaction), to create one or more mezzanine loans (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan”), to (i) establish different interest rates and to reallocate the Outstanding Principal Balance and Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount of the Loan to the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s), (ii) require the payment of the Loan and any New Mezzanine Loan(s) in such order of priority as may be designated by Lender and (iii) modify the Debt Service Coverage Ratio covenants to provide for mortgage only and aggregate tests based
102
on a calculation of each based on the Loan only balance and the aggregate balance of the Loan plus the New Mezzanine Loan(s); provided, that the outstanding principal balance of the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the Outstanding Principal Balance immediately prior to such modification, the weighted average of the interest rates for the Loan and such New Mezzanine Loan(s) immediately after the effective date of the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan(s) equals the interest rate of the original Note immediately prior to such modification and the combined Debt Service Coverage Ratio threshold equals the Debt Service Coverage Ratio threshold set forth herein. Borrower shall cause the formation of one or more special purpose, bankruptcy remote entities as required by Lender in order to serve as the borrower under any New Mezzanine Loan (each, a “New Mezzanine Loan Borrower”) and the applicable organizational documents of Borrowers shall be amended and modified as necessary or required in the formation of any New Mezzanine Loan Borrower.
9.3.3 Cooperation; Execution; Delivery. Borrowers shall reasonably cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in connection with this Section 9.3. If requested by Lender, Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver such documents as shall be required by Lender and any Rating Agency in connection with any modification or New Mezzanine Loan pursuant to this Section 9.3, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and satisfactory to any applicable Rating Agency, including, the severance of security documents if requested and/or, in connection with the creation of any New Mezzanine Loan: (i) execution and delivery of a promissory note and loan documents necessary to evidence such New Mezzanine Loan, (ii) execution and delivery of such amendments to the Loan Documents as are necessary in connection with the creation of such New Mezzanine Loan, (iii) delivery of opinions of legal counsel with respect to due execution, authority and enforceability of any modification documents or documents evidencing or securing any New Mezzanine Loan, as applicable and (iv) with respect to any New Mezzanine Loan, delivery of a substantive non-consolidation opinion; each as reasonably acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies. In the event any Borrower fails to execute and deliver such documents to Lender within five (5) Business Days following such request by Lender, each Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect such transactions, each Borrower hereby ratifying all that such attorney shall do by virtue thereof. It shall be an Event of Default under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents if any Borrower fails to comply with any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 9.3 after expiration of ten (10) Business Days after notice thereof.

MISCELLANEOUS
Section 10.1 Exculpation. Subject to the qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of any Borrower to perform and observe the Obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against such Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, or in all or any of the
103
Properties, the Gross Revenues or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against a Borrower only to the extent of such Borrower’s interest in the Properties, in the Gross Revenues and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender, by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents, shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against a Borrower in any such action or proceeding under or by reason of or under or in connection with the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name one or more Borrowers as a party defendant in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under any Mortgage; (c) affect the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a receiver; (e) impair the enforcement of the Assignments of Leases; (f) impair the enforcement of the Environmental Indemnity; (g) constitute a prohibition against Lender to seek a deficiency judgment against all or any of the Borrowers in order to fully realize the security granted by any Mortgage or to commence any other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against all or any of the Properties; or (h) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and obligation of Borrowers, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following (all such liability and obligation of Borrowers for any or all of the following being referred to herein as “Borrowers’ Recourse Liabilities”):
(i) fraud, willful misconduct, misrepresentation or intentional failure to disclose a material fact by or on behalf of any Borrower, any Guarantor, any Affiliate of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or any of their respective agents or representatives in connection with the Loan, including by reason of any claim under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO);
(ii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision in the Environmental Indemnity or in any other Loan Document concerning environmental laws, hazardous substances and/or asbestos and any indemnification of Lender with respect thereto in either document;
(iii) wrongful removal or destruction of any portion of any Property or damage to any Property caused by willful misconduct or gross negligence;

(v) the forfeiture by any Borrower of any Property, or any portion thereof, because of the conduct of criminal activity by any Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective agents or representatives in connection therewith;
(vi) the misappropriation or conversion by or on behalf of any Borrower of (A) any Insurance Proceeds paid by reason of any loss, damage or destruction to any Property, (B) any Awards or other amounts received in connection with the Condemnation of all or a portion of any Property, or (C) any Gross Revenues
104
(including Rents, Insurance Proceeds, security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits, Lease Termination Payments, and Lease Sweep Lease Termination Payments) or (D) any other funds due under the Loan Documents, including, in connection with any of the foregoing, by reason of failure to comply with Section 6.1 hereof or breach of the Clearing Account Agreement or the Cash Management Agreement;

(viii) any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits collected with respect to any Property which are not delivered to Lender in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents;

(x) failure to obtain and maintain the fully paid for Policies in accordance with Section 5.1.1 hereof;
(xi) intentionally omitted;
(xii) the failure to pay Common Charges;

(xiv) Borrowers’ indemnification of Lender set forth in Section 9.2 hereof;
(xv) any cost or expense incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement of its rights and remedies under the Guaranty; and/or
(xvi) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4.4 hereof (other than those covenants set forth in clauses (f), (j) and (v) of Schedule V attached hereto) or a breach of any of the representations set forth in the “Recycled SPE Certificate” delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan that does not result in the substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities of Borrower with any other Person as a result of such breach.
In addition to the above and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrowers hereby assume liability for, and hereby unconditionally guarantee, payment to Lender (for deposit by Lender into the Casualty and Condemnation Account (as defined in the Cash Management Agreement)) of the Guaranteed Insurance Shortfall Amount following a Casualty to the DC Property (or any portion thereof) if after such Casualty two-thirds (2/3) or more of the Units are rendered untenantable (a “Total Condo Casualty”). Borrowers shall pay the Guaranteed Insurance Shortfall Amount to Lender within ten (10) Business Days of demand by Lender following Lender’s determination in its sole discretion that a Casualty is a Total Condo Casualty (the liability and obligation of Borrowers under this paragraph to pay to Lender the Guaranteed Insurance Shortfall Amount being referred to herein as the “Borrowers’ Casualty Recourse Liabilities”). Upon payment in full of the
105
Guaranteed Insurance Shortfall Amount in accordance with this paragraph, Lender shall release the DC Property from the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the DC Property (and related Loan Documents) and Borrowers shall satisfy all of the requirements of Section 2.5.3 with respect to such release. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Insurance Shortfall Amount” shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (A) the difference between (i) 125% of the Allocated Loan Amount for such Property and (ii) the Insurance Proceeds from the Total Condo Casualty, (B) all costs, taxes and expenses associated with the release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the DC Property, including Lender’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (C) any additional amount necessary to pay down the Outstanding Principal Balance such that the loan-to-value ratio of the Properties then remaining subject to the Lien of the Loan Documents following the release of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering the DC Property (such value to be determined by the Lender in its reasonable discretion based on a commercially reasonable valuation method permitted to a REMIC Trust and which shall exclude the value of personal property or going concern value, if any) is less than one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%).
In addition to the above and to any other indemnification obligations thereof in this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, Borrowers hereby assume liability for, and hereby unconditionally guarantee: (i) the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Indemnified Liabilities (defined below) to the extent such Guaranteed Indemnified Liabilities are not otherwise satisfied by an insurer pursuant to a policy of insurance providing the coverages required under Section 5.1.1(a)(ii) hereof (including, without limitation, any liability insurance coverage held by the Condo Association) and (ii) to the extent Lender incurs any costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind in the defense of, arising from, or otherwise in connection with, the Guaranteed Indemnified Liabilities, the payment to Lender of such incurred costs, expenses and disbursements within ten (10) Business Days of demand by Lender (the liability and obligation of Borrowers under the immediately foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) being referred to herein as the “Borrowers’ Indemnification Recourse Liabilities,” and together with the Borrowers’ Casualty Recourse Liabilities, collectively, “Borrowers’ Additional Recourse Liabilities”). As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Indemnified Liabilities” shall mean the obligations or liabilities of Borrowers to Lender set forth in Section 4.30 hereof with respect to any personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the DC Property or on the adjoining sidewalks, curbs, adjacent property or adjacent parking areas, streets or ways (including, without limitation, the Common Elements).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code to file a claim for the full amount of the Obligations or to require that all collateral shall continue to secure all of the Obligations owing to Lender in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B) the Obligations shall be fully recourse to Borrowers in the event that any of the following occur (each, a “Springing Recourse Event”):
(i) a breach of the covenants set forth in Section 4.4 hereof (other than those covenants set forth in clauses (f), (j) and (v) of Schedule V attached hereto) or a breach of any of the representations set forth in the “Recycled SPE Certificate” delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan that results in the substantive consolidation of the assets and liabilities
106
of Borrower with any other Person as a result of such breach or any breach of clauses (a), (b), (d) or (n) of Schedule V attached hereto;
(ii) any Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any subordinate financing secured by any Property or other voluntary Lien encumbering any Property;
(iii) any Borrower fails to obtain Lender’s prior consent to any Transfer of any Property or any interest therein or any Transfer of any direct or indirect interest in any Borrower, in either case as required by the Mortgages or this Agreement other than a Permitted Transfer;
(iv) intentionally omitted;
(v) any Borrower or any SPC Party files a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law;
(vi) any Borrower is substantively consolidated with any other Person; unless such consolidation was involuntary and not consented to by such Borrower, such SPC Party or Guarantor and is discharged, stayed or dismissed within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of such consolidation;

(viii) any Borrower and/or any SPC Party files an answer consenting to, or otherwise acquiescing in, or joining in, any involuntary petition filed against it by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law;
(ix) any Borrower or any Affiliate, officer, director or representative which controls Borrower consents to, or acquiesces in, or joins in, an application for the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or examiner for such Borrower or any portion of the Property owned by such Borrower;
(x) any Borrower or any SPC Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or admits, in writing or in any legal proceeding, its insolvency or inability to pay its debts as they become due;
(xi) (A) if the Condominium shall be terminated (following a Casualty, Condemnation or otherwise) without Lender’s prior written consent, (B) up to the Allocated Loan Amount for the DC Property, if any of the Condo Association, Board of Directors, Residential Council (as defined in the Condominium Documents), Commercial Council (as defined in the Condominium Documents) or Unit Owners institutes or enforces any decision that has an unfair or disparate material adverse effect on the use, ownership, operation or value of the DC Property, any Borrower or the Loan, in each instance without Lender’s prior written consent
107
thereto, or (C) if the DC Property is not promptly restored following a Casualty or Condemnation; provided, however, there shall be no liability under this clause (xi) to the extent Lender shall have received the Permitted Condo Amendment and all other terms and conditions set forth in Section 4.35(c) of this Agreement shall have been satisfied in connection therewith;
(xii) any amendment, cancellation, termination or other modification of (or waiver by any Borrower of any material term under) the Condominium Documents without Lender’s prior written consent as required by the Mortgage or this Agreement.; or
(xiii) if any Guarantor (or any Person comprising any Guarantor), any Borrower or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, in connection with any enforcement action or exercise or assertion of any right or remedy by or on behalf of Lender under or in connection with the Guaranty, the Note, the Mortgages or any other Loan Document, seeks a defense, judicial intervention or injunctive or other equitable relief of any kind, or asserts in a pleading filed in connection with a judicial proceeding any defense against Lender or any right in connection with any security for the Loan.
Section 10.2 Survival; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as all or any of the Obligations are outstanding and unpaid unless a longer period is expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the legal representatives, successors and assigns of such party. All covenants, promises and agreements in this Agreement, by or on behalf of Borrowers, shall inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Lender.
Section 10.3 Lender’s Discretion; Rating Agency Review Waiver.
(a) Whenever pursuant to this Agreement Lender exercises any right given to it to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and conclusive. Prior to a Securitization, whenever pursuant to this Agreement the Rating Agencies are given any right to approve or disapprove any matter, or any arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to the Rating Agencies, the decision of Lender to approve or disapprove such matter or to decide whether arrangements or terms are satisfactory or not satisfactory, based upon Lender’s determination of Rating Agency criteria, shall be substituted therefor.
(b) Whenever, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, a Rating Agency Confirmation is required from each applicable Rating Agency, in the event that any applicable Rating Agency “declines review”, “waives review” or otherwise indicates in writing or otherwise to Lender’s or Servicer’s satisfaction that no Rating Agency Confirmation will or needs to be issued with respect to the matter in question (each, a “Review Waiver”), then the Rating Agency Confirmation requirement shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such matter. It is expressly agreed and understood, however, that receipt of a Review Waiver (i) from any one Rating Agency shall not be binding or apply with respect to any other Rating Agency
108
and (ii) with respect to one matter shall not apply or be deemed to apply to any subsequent matter for which Rating Agency Confirmation is required.
(c) Prior to a Securitization or in the event that there is a Review Waiver, if Lender does not have a separate and independent approval right with respect to the matter in question, then the term Rating Agency Confirmation shall be deemed instead to require the prior written consent of Lender.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to, or demand on, any Borrower shall entitle any Borrower to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of Lender in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege. In particular, and not by way of limitation, by accepting payment after the due date of any amount payable under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right either to require prompt payment when due of all other amounts due under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to declare a default for failure to effect prompt payment of any such other amount. Lender shall have the right to waive or reduce any time periods that Lender is entitled to under the Loan Documents in its sole and absolute discretion.

Additionally, Notice from Lender may also be given by Servicer and Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that Borrowers shall be entitled to rely on any Notice given by Servicer as if it had been sent by Lender.
Section 10.7 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH BORROWER AND LENDER HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY EACH BORROWER AND LENDER AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. EACH PARTY IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER.
Section 10.8 Headings, Schedules and Exhibits. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Schedules and Exhibits annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments by Borrowers to any portion of the Obligations of Borrowers hereunder. To the extent Borrowers make a payment or payments to 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 party under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended
112
to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Lender.
Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. No Borrower shall be entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to Borrowers and except with respect to matters for which Borrowers are not, pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice. Each Borrower hereby expressly waives the right to receive any notice from Lender with respect to any matter for which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents do not specifically and expressly provide for the giving of notice by Lender to such Borrower.
Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where, by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, neither Lender nor its agents shall be liable for any monetary damages and Borrowers’ sole remedy shall be limited to commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. Any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined by an action seeking declaratory judgment.
Section 10.13 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest in and to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which any Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by one or more Borrower in any action or proceeding brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly waived by Borrowers.
Section 10.14 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries.
(a) Borrowers and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common or joint tenancy relationship between Borrowers and Lender or to grant Lender any interest in the Properties other than that of mortgagee, beneficiary or lender.
(b) The Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and Borrowers (and the Lender Group, the Issuer and the Underwriter Group with respect to Section 9.2(b)) and nothing contained in any Loan Document shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Lender and Borrowers any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
Section 10.15 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by any Borrower or its Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender, the Affiliate of Lender that acts as the issuer with respect to a Securitization or any of their other Affiliates (x) shall be prohibited prior to the final Securitization of the Loan and (y) after the final
113
Securitization of the Loan, shall be subject to the prior written approval of Lender. Lender shall have the right to issue any of the foregoing without Borrowers’ approval and Borrowers authorize Lender to issue press releases, advertisements and other promotional materials in connection with Lender’s own promotional and marketing activities, including in connection with a Secondary Market Transaction, and such materials may describe the Loan in general terms or in detail and Lender’s participation therein in the Loan.
Section 10.16 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Borrowers, for themselves and their successors and assigns, waive all rights to a marshalling of the assets of any Borrower, any Borrower’s members or partners, as applicable, and others with interests in any Borrower, and of any Property, and shall not assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Property for the collection of the Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection, or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Obligations out of the net proceeds of any Property in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.
Section 10.17 Certain Waivers. Borrowers hereby waive the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Lender or its agents or otherwise to offset any obligations to make the payments required by the Loan Documents. No failure by Lender to perform any of its obligations hereunder shall be a valid defense to, or result in any offset against, any payments which any Borrower is obligated to make under any of the Loan Documents. Without limiting any of the other provisions contained herein, each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by applicable law, any rights it may have to claim or recover against Lender in any legal action or proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.
Section 10.18 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same. Each Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to the Loan, such Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan, without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership by it or any parent, subsidiary or affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may acquire in any Borrower, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or remedies. Borrowers acknowledge that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive with the business of any Borrower or its Affiliates.
Section 10.19 Brokers and Financial Advisors.
114
(a) Each Borrower hereby represents that, except for BayBridge Real Estate Capital (“Broker”), it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrowers will pay Broker a commission pursuant to a separate agreement. Each Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs and expenses of any kind (including Lender’s attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to or arising out of a claim by any Person (including Broker) that such Person acted on behalf of Borrowers or Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.19 shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.
(b) Notwithstanding anything in clause (a) above to the contrary, Borrowers hereby acknowledge that (i) at Lender’s sole discretion, Broker may receive further consideration from Lender relating to the Loan or any other matter for which Lender may elect to compensate Broker pursuant to a separate agreement between Lender and Broker (which compensation may include a one-time payment on the Closing Date, a profit sharing payment and/or ongoing payments from Lender to Broker), (ii) Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to Borrowers the existence of any such agreement or the amount of any such additional consideration paid or to be paid to Broker whether in connection with the Loan or otherwise and (iii) Borrowers have had the opportunity to speak with Broker regarding such additional consideration. Borrowers hereby acknowledge that such additional consideration may create a potential conflict of interest for the Broker in its relationship with Borrowers and/or Guarantors and agrees that (x) Lender is not responsible for any recommendations or advice that Broker has given to Borrowers or Guarantors, (y) Lender and Borrowers (and Guarantors) are dealing at arms’-length with each other in a commercial lending transaction and (z) no fiduciary or other special relationship exists or shall exist between them. Borrowers hereby further agree and acknowledge that Lender has not interfered with Broker’s relationship with Borrowers or Guarantors in connection with the transaction contemplated herein and has not caused Broker to breach any duty that it may owe Borrowers or Guarantors.
Section 10.20 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective affiliates in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, including any confidentiality agreements or any similar agreements between or among any such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 10.21 Servicer.
(a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a servicer or special servicer (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrowers shall not be responsible for any set-up fees or any other initial costs relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement. Borrowers shall not be responsible for payment of the monthly master servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.
115
(b) Other than as set forth in Section 10.21(a) above, Borrower shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the Servicer and any reasonable third-party fees and expenses in connection with the Loan, including any prepayments, releases of any Property, approvals under the Loan Documents, requested by Borrowers, other requests under the Loan defeasance, assumption of Borrowers’ obligations or modification of the Loan, as well as any fees and expenses in connection with the special servicing or work-out of the Loan or enforcement of the Loan Documents, including special servicing fees, operating or trust advisor fees (if the Loan is a specially serviced loan or in connection with a workout), work-out fees, liquidation fees, attorneys’ fees and expenses and other fees and expenses in connection with the modification or restructuring of the Loan. All amounts payable to Lender or Servicer in exercising its rights under this Section 10.21 (including, but not limited to, disbursements, advances and reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection therewith), shall be payable upon demand, secured by this Agreement and interest thereon shall accrue at the Default Rate from the date incurred.
Section 10.22 Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of the Debt and performance of all other obligations of Borrowers (or any of them) under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 10.23 Creation of Security Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages or any of the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgages and any other Loan Document (including the advances owing to it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Section 10.24 Regulatory Change; Taxes.
10.24.1 Increased Costs. If as a result of any Regulatory Change or compliance of Lender therewith, the basis of taxation of payments to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of the principal of or interest on the Loan is changed or Lender or the company Controlling Lender shall be subject to (i) any tax, duty, charge or withholding of any kind with respect to this Agreement (excluding federal taxation of the overall net income of Lender or the company Controlling Lender); or (ii) any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities, of Lender or any company Controlling Lender is imposed, modified or deemed applicable; or (iii) any other condition affecting loans to borrowers subject to LIBOR-based interest rates exists or is imposed on Lender or any company Controlling Lender and Lender determines that, by reason thereof, the cost to Lender or any company Controlling Lender of making, maintaining or extending the Loan to Borrower is increased, or any amount receivable by Lender or any company Controlling Lender hereunder in respect of any portion of the Loan to Borrowers is reduced, in each case by an amount deemed by Lender in good faith to be material (such increases in cost and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Increased Costs”), then Lender shall provide notice thereof to Borrowers and Borrowers agree that to pay to Lender upon Lender’s written request such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or any company Controlling Lender for such Increased Costs to the extent Lender determines that such Increased Costs are allocable to the Loan. If Lender requests compensation under this Section 10.24.1, Lender shall, if requested by notice by Borrower to Lender, furnish to Borrowers a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.
116
10.24.2 Special Taxes. Borrowers shall make all payments hereunder free and clear of and without deduction for Special Taxes. If Borrowers shall be required by law to deduct any Special Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 10.24.2) Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrowers shall make such deductions, and (iii) Borrowers shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
10.24.3 Other Taxes. In addition, Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies which arise from any payment made hereunder, or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the Loan (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).
Section 10.25 Assignments and Participations. In addition to any other rights of Lender hereunder, the Loan, the Note, the Loan Documents and/or Lender’s rights, title, obligations and interests therein may be sold, assigned, participated or otherwise transferred by Lender and any of its successors and assigns to any Person at any time in its sole and absolute discretion, in whole or in part, whether by operation of law (pursuant to a merger or other successor in interest) or otherwise without notice to or consent from Borrowers or any other Person. Upon such assignment, all references to Lender in this Agreement and in any Loan Document shall be deemed to refer to such assignee or successor in interest and such assignee or successor in interest shall thereafter stand in the place of Lender in all respects. Except as expressly permitted herein, no Borrower may assign its rights, title, interests or obligations under this Agreement or under any of the Loan Documents.
Section 10.26 Cross Default; Cross Collateralization. Each Borrower acknowledges that Lender has made the Loan to Borrowers upon the security of its collective interest in the Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of the Properties taken separately. Each Borrower agrees that the Mortgages are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) an Event of Default under any of the Mortgages shall constitute an Event of Default under each of the other Mortgages which secure the Note; (ii) an Event of Default under the Note or this Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under each Mortgage; and (iii) each Mortgage shall constitute security for the Note as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Properties as security for the Note.
Section 10.27 Contribution among Borrowers. Notwithstanding that Borrowers are jointly and severally liable to Lender for payment of the Loan, as among Borrowers, each shall be liable only for such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount and, accordingly, each Borrower whose Property or other assets are, from time to time, utilized to satisfy a portion of the Debt in excess of such Borrower’s Allocated Loan Amount, shall be entitled, commencing 95 days after payment in full of the Debt, to contribution from each of the other Borrowers pro-rata in accordance with their respective liabilities in accordance with this Agreement. This Allocated Loan Amount for each Borrower shall equal the Allocated Loan Amount for the Property owned by such Borrower.
117
Section 10.28 Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among the respective parties thereto, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(i) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(ii) the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(A) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA 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
(C) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.
(b) As used in this Section 10.28 the following terms have the following meanings ascribed thereto: (i) “Bail-In Action“ means the exercise of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable EEA Resolution Authority in respect of any liability of an EEA Financial Institution; (ii) “Bail-In Legislation” means, with respect to any EEA Member Country implementing Article 55 of Directive 2014/59/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union, the implementing law for such EEA Member Country from time to time which is described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule; (iii) “EEA Financial Institution” means (x) any credit institution or investment firm established in any EEA Member Country which is subject to the supervision of an EEA Resolution Authority; (y) any entity established in an EEA Member Country which is a parent of an institution described in clause (x) of this definition, or (x) any financial institution established in an EEA Member Country which is a subsidiary of an institution described in clauses (x) or (y) of this definition and is subject to consolidated supervision with its parent; (iv) “EEA Member Country” means any of the member states of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, and Norway or any other member state of the European Economic Area; (v) “EEA Resolution Authority” means any public administrative authority or any person entrusted with public administrative authority of any EEA Member Country (including any delegee) having responsibility for the resolution of any EEA Financial Institution; (vi) “EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule” means the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule
118
published by the Loan Market Association (or any successor person), as in effect from time to time; and (vii) “Write-Down and Conversion Powers” means, with respect to any EEA Resolution Authority, the write-down and conversion powers of such EEA Resolution Authority from time to time under the Bail-In Legislation for the applicable EEA Member Country, which write-down and conversion powers are described in the EU Bail-In Legislation Schedule.
Section 10.29 Appraisals. Lender may, at its option, commission one or more new and/or updated appraisals from time to time after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Borrowers shall only be required to reimburse Lender for such new and/or updated appraisal if (A) an Event of Default is continuing or (B) such appraisal is required by applicable law or regulatory requirements.
Section 10.30 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 10.31 Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of Lender provided by this Agreement and by law, Lender shall have the right in its sole discretion, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by any Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by Lender or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrowers; provided however, Lender may only exercise such right during the continuance of an Event of Default. Lender agrees promptly to notify Borrowers after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

DEFINITION OF SPECIAL PURPOSE BANKRUPTCY REMOTE ENTITY
Each Borrower hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, Lender that since the date of its formation and at all times on and after the date hereof and until such time as the Obligations shall be paid and performed in full, except as otherwise expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement:
(a) Borrower (i) has been, is, and will be organized solely for the purpose of acquiring, developing, owning, holding, selling, leasing, transferring, exchanging, managing and operating the Property, entering into this Agreement with the Lender, refinancing the Property in connection with a permitted repayment of the Loan, and transacting lawful business that is incident, necessary and appropriate to accomplish the foregoing, (ii) has not owned, does not own, and will not own any asset or property other than (A) the Property, and (B) incidental personal property necessary for the ownership or operation of the Property and (iii) has been, is, and will be organized for the purpose of investing the equity capital that was contributed to Borrower by the Sole Member of Borrower in compliance with the provisions of this Schedule V. No equity capital was raised by Borrower. For the avoidance of doubt, there has been no direct or indirect commercial activity by the Borrower or a person or entity acting on its behalf to procure the transfer or commitment of capital by the Sole Member of the Borrower for the purpose of investing it in accordance with the provisions of this Schedule V.
(b) Borrower has not engaged and will not engage in any business other than the ownership, management and operation of the Property and Borrower will conduct and operate its business as presently conducted and operated.
(c) Borrower has not and will not enter into any contract or agreement with any Affiliate of Borrower except upon terms and conditions that are intrinsically fair, commercially reasonable, and no less favorable to it than would be available on an arms-length basis with third parties other than any such party.
